Figure 2.1 – Align the SOM-M1 over the Baseboard Press straight down on the SOM-M1, applying even pressure over the baseboard BTB socket connectors. See Figure 2.2. Figure 2.2 – Connect the SOM-M1 to the Baseboard ZOOM OMAP-L138 PRELIMINARY DOCUMENT—SUBJECT TO CHANGE eXperimenter Kit QuickStart Guide...
Visually verify that the BTB socket connectors on the SOM-M1 and baseboard have mated correctly. To remove the SOM-M1, pull up on the board above the socket connectors. Attempt to pull straight up and refrain from flexing the printed circuit board (PCB) to avoid damaging the SOM-M1. 2.3 Connect eXperimenter Kit to PC In order to communicate with the OMAP-L138 SOM-M1, the eXperimenter Kit needs to be connected to a PC.
Figure 2.4 – Connect Power Supply and Adapter Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet and the 5V line output connector into the power-in connector on the baseboard. Figure 2.5 – Connect Power to the Baseboard Before powering on your kit, you will have to verify the baseboard DIP switches are in the correct positions.

Figure 2.6 – Connect the USB A to mini-B Cable to Baseboard Connect the regulated 5V power supply to the appropriate power adapter for the region in which you are using the development kit. Figure 2.7 – Connect Power Supply and Adapter Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet and the 5V line output connector into the power-in connector on the baseboard.
Figure 2.8 – Connect Power to the Baseboard Before powering on your kit, you will have to verify the baseboard DIP switches are in the correct positions. Please proceed to the next section for details. 2.4 Baseboard DIP Switches There are the two 8-position DIP switches located on the application baseboard at reference designators S2 and S7.
SPI1 Flash UART2 EMU Debug 2.5 Terminal Emulation Installation The Zoom OMAP-L138 eXperimenter Kit is designed to communicate with terminal emulation programs using a null-modem serial cable (not included in kit). The terminal emulation ZOOM OMAP-L138 PRELIMINARY DOCUMENT—SUBJECT TO CHANGE...
Although Logic does not support any particular terminal emulation program, we suggest using Tera Term Pro for Windows 2000 or XP (Tera Term Pro is not available for Linux users). Tera Term Pro can be downloaded for free from Logic’s website.
