2 Hardware and Software Installation

The ADC128S102EVM is out of the box ready to use, and requires minimum set up.

1. Remove any screws from J25 on the EVM. Connect the PHI board on J25, and remove any stand offs on the PHI. Reinstall the screws to secure the PHI to J25, being sure not to overtighten. Figure 2-1 shows an example of the hardware set up.
2. Connect the micro USB cable to the PHI, and the other end to the computer to be used.
