This document contains information about the hardware included as part of the Ezurio OEM RM024 family Developer Kit (DVK). The RM024 DVK is designed to allow flexibility at the hardware interface level so that the RM024 DVK can be easily interfaced to the OEM product, to a PC for performance testing, or to any other device that supports RS232 or USB serial interfaces.
2 Hardware The RM024 DVK board is provided so the developer can use a standard PC interface to operate the transceivers and to aid in system integration. It uses an RS232 or USB data format to interface to the transceiver. This document provides a...

Figure 3: DVK Board with DB9 Connector The LEDs located on the front edge of the board continuously show the configuration and operation of the RM024 DVK board. Refer to Table 2 for definitions of the LEDs, and Table 3 for DB9 connector pin assignments.
Power Switch The RM024 DVK board is equipped with a power switch. Use this switch to turn the power to the board on and off. This power switch should be turned OFF when the USB or power supply cable is connected or disconnected to prevent possible damage to the board.
J9-6 Force 9600 Baud 2.3 Interfacing the RM024 DVK to other RS232 hardware The development kit serial board is a DCE (Data Communications Equipment) device. A DCE device is wired to the interface directly with a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) device. Typically, a DTE device is a PC, while a DCE device is a peripheral. To interface a DCE device to other DCE device, or a DTE device to another DTE device, a null modem is required.
Once configured, testing can be performed with HyperTerminal or another emulator to send serial data. Windows only allows one program to access a Serial Communications Port at a time. When the Ezurio Windows OEM Configuration Utility is open, no other serial applications should be open.
