The ConnectCore 91 SOM does not have a corresponding development kit (DVK). This Get Started guides you on how to emulate a ConnectCore 91 using a ConnectCore 93 Development Kit instead.

Follow these steps to set up a ConnectCore 93 DVK for evaluating your ConnectCore 91.

Run serial console setup script

You only need to complete this step if you are running Linux. If so, you may need to install a driver for the serial interface of the ConnectCore 93 Development Kit.

  1. Download the script for the USB-to-serial driver.

  2. Give execution permission to the file in your computer and run it as administrator.

    $ chmod +x install_usb_driver.sh
$ sudo ./install_usb_driver.sh

Installing Cypress USB driver.
Rule "/etc/udev/rules.d/90-cyusb.rules" doesn't exist, creating a new one.
File "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" exists, checking if the rule is already there.
Rule for cytherm not found. Adding cytherm to the blacklist.
Please plug/unplug your usb device to be recognized.

Connect the hardware

The following image shows a ConnectCore 93 DVK, which is the development board for evaluating the ConnectCore 91 SOM.
ConnectCore 93 Development Kit connections

  1. Connect the USB type-C cable to the USB CONSOLE connector on the board and to your host computer if it isn’t already done.

  2. Connect the Wi-Fi antenna to the SMA antenna connector.

  3. Connect the Ethernet cable (not included) to the Ethernet port.

  4. Make sure the boot micro-switches (SW3) are set to boot from the eMMC:

  5. Connect the 5V/3A power supply to the power barrel connector.
