GETTING STARTED
This section provides specific information to assist with using
the SDP-S board as part of the user’s evaluation system.
The following topics are covered:
• PC configuration
• USB installation
• Powering up/powering down the SDP-S
PC CONFIGURATION
For correct operation of the SDP board, the user’s computer
must have the following minimum configuration:
• Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista®
• USB 2.0 port
When removing the SDP-S board from the package, handle the
board carefully to avoid the discharge of static electricity, which
can damage some components.
USB INSTALLATION
Perform the following tasks to safely install the SDP-S board
onto the computer. There are two stages in the software
application installation procedure. The first stage installs the
application software. The second stage installs the .NET
Framework 3.5 and the necessary drivers.
Installing the Software
1. Run the application installation file provided. The first
stage installs the application GUI and the necessary
support files onto the computer.
2. Immediately following the application installation, the
.NET Framework 3.5 and the driver package for the SDP
board are installed. If the .NET Framework 3.5 is already
preinstalled on the computer, this stage is skipped and
Step 2 consists of a driver package installation only.
Connecting the SDP-S Board to the PC
Attach the SDP-S board to a USB 2.0 port on the computer via
the Standard-A-to-Mini-B cable provided.
Verifying Driver Installation
Before using the SDP-S board, verify the driver software has
installed properly.
Open the Windows Device Manager and verify the SDP-S
board appears under ADI Development Tools, as shown in
Figure 2.

POWERING UP/POWERING DOWN THE SDP-S
The following sections describe how to safely power up and
power down the SDP-S.
Powering Up the SDP-S Board
1. Connect the SDP-S board to the daughter evaluation board
through the 120-pin mating connector.
2. Power up the daughter board.
3. Connect the USB port on the computer to the SDP-S board.
Powering Down the SDP-S Board
1. Disconnect the USB port on the computer from the
SDP-S board.
2. Power down the daughter evaluation board.
3. Disconnect the SDP-S board from the daughter
evaluation board.
