The hardware required to run the motor is the MCF8315PWPEVM, a micro-USB cable, and a power supply with a DC output from 4.5V to 35V. Follow these steps to start up the MCF8315PWPEVM:
- Connect the DC power supply to header J7. Connect to VBAT and PGND to utilize the reverse polarity protection and the pi filter to the EVM. Otherwise, connect to VM and PGND to bypass the reverse polarity protection and pi filter.
- Apply user-configurable jumper settings. See Section 2.7 section for more information.
- If needed, flash program into the MCU as described in Section 3.2.2. Disconnect the 4-pin JTAG connections.
- Turn on the DC power supply and power up the PCB.
- Connect a Micro-USB cable to the MCF8315PWPEVM and computer.
