Hardware Setup

The main connectors and switches on the xPRESS motherboard are shown in the
diagram below. Your board may have a different RFID module than the M6e shown here.

The following steps will take you through the hardware set-up, power-up and connecting
the xPRESS platform using its pre-installed application which will read UHF RFID tags
and report them through the USB interface.

1. Connect the micro USB connector to the “USBOTG” port on the motherboard and the

other end to your Windows or LINUX PC.
