External Cable Connection for SOM Stand-alone This figure shows the external cable connectivity with MPC8309 SOM card. Figure 5. External Cable Connection for SOM Stand-alone NOTE All necessary cables required are sent along with the MPC8309KIT. Note that there is no need to connect external 5 V power supply and UART cable when the SOM card is being used with the carrier card.
This figure shows the major connectors on carrier card applicable for MPC830x SOM. Figure 6. Major Connectors of Carrier Card for MPC830x SOM Note the following before powering on the board: 1. Plug MPC8309 SOM on carrier card 2. Connect 12 V power adaptor to power jack NOTE DC-5Vin power adaptor should be disconnected from SOM before plugging SOM on carrier card.
