1. Out of the Box

The NXP analog product development boards provide an easy-to-use platform for evaluating NXP products. The boards support a range of analog, mixed-signal and power solutions. They incorporate monolithic integrated circuits and system-in-package devices that use proven high-volume technology. NXP products offer longer battery life, a smaller form factor, reduced component counts, lower cost and improved performance in powering state-of-the-art systems.

This page will guide you through the process of setting up and using the DEMO-BYL1-EVB evaluation board.

1.1 Kit Content and Packing List

The DEMO-BYL1-EVB contents include:

  • Assembled and tested evaluation board in an anti-static bag
  • 3.0 ft USB-STD A to USB-B mini cable
  • Jumpers mounted on board
  • Quick start guide

1.2 Additional Hardware

In addition to the kit contents, the following hardware is necessary or beneficial when working with this kit.

  • Power supply 12 V and a current limit set initially to 2.0 A

1.3 Software

The following software must be installed on the PC workstation prior to using the BYLink multiprocessor demo board.

  • BYLink NXP GUI installation package

2.1 Board Features

  • Connector for power supply input
  • Connector and test point for PMIC regulators
  • OTP emulation and PWRON
  • USB to I²C protocol for easy connection to software GUI
  • LEDs, green and red, that indicate signal or regulator status

2.2 Board Description

The BYLink multiprocessor demo board kit provides an integrated platform for evaluating designs based on NXP's FS8500 and PF502x PMIC device family. All PMIC features can be accessed and monitored in a test environment. The kit hardware consists of the BYLink multiprocessor demo board and the USB cable required to connect the board to the PC.

Connectors, jumpers and switches on the board can be used to configure an evaluation environment that meets specific design requirements. The board also contains LEDs and test points that provide a means of monitoring performance in real-time.

3.1 Setting up the BYLink Multiprocessor

The procedure for setting up the BYLink multiprocessor demo board is as follows:

  1. Make sure that the board has the jumpers configured in their default position as shown in the following figure. The default configuration enables the board to be fully controlled by the MCU and the GUI
  2. Connect the power supply to J5 (VBAT and GND). The power supply should be set to an initial value of 12 V and current limited to 2.0 A
  3. Verify that the USB cable between the demo board and the PC is securely connected. This connection is critical because the USB port not only serves as a communication channel between the PC and the board, but also provides voltages and references to some onboard circuits
  4. Switch SW1 from middle position to the left position 1-2 to connect VBAT to the 12 V supply
  5. If power is connected to J3, switch SW1 from middle position to the right position 2-3
