User’s Manual 1. Getting Started 1.1 Safety Precautions Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis. Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges.

User’s Manual 2.2 Jumper and Connector List You can configure your board to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a jumper you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3.

RSC-IMX51 Here is setting for Linux (LTIB/Android/Ubuntu) update Now you can find the tool is ready to do a demo work. Click “Start” button. If you have a terminal tool to monitor the debug serial port of your board, it is suggested to open it. You can get more information from it. 6) The process is ongoing.
User’s Manual You can find some information from the terminal.
RSC-IMX51 3.9 Programming Guide for GPIO Driver The RSC-iMX51 Windows CE image had included the onboard GPIO and watchdog timer driver API for application programming. The function that API will provide are list as below, refer each function’s description to get more detail information. 1) Digital I/O Port API_LibInit() BOOL API_LibInit(); Return Value : TRUE indicates success, FALSE indicates failure. The error numbers are listed in Appendix A.
User’s Manual Current status (high/low) of the selected pin is passed to. 0: Low, 1: High Remarks: The current state of a selected pin is obtained by calling this function. For example: int dwVal; dwVal=GPIO_BIT_INPUT(1, 31) is called to get the current state of GPIO1_31 which is the input pin 7 of JIO1 on RSC-iMX51. Watchdog Function: Watchdog timer of RSC-iMX51 consists a time-out counter with time-out periods from 0.5 seconds up to 128 seconds.
