The design of the EVM allows power to the EVM to be supplied from the built-in power supply, which takes line input to generate the power needed by the EVM. The EVM also allows power to the EVM to be supplied from user source.
The EVM is shipped with the built-in power supply block installed on the EVM. If power is to be supplied from an external power supply, the built-in VSK-S1-3P3U power supply block has to be disconnected. Remove the two jumpers on J5 and apply 3.3 V to VDD and VSS on J5 as shown in Figure 4-1.
Do not supply power to the EVM until the hardware and software setup is completed.
