4. Procedure

1. Connect the Sonoma board to the JB1 port of a LX9 MicroBoard as shown in

Figure 1

.

2. Connect the P1 USB connector of the LX9 MicroBoard directly to the computer.

Or, use a USB extension cable to connect the LX9 MicroBoard to the computer.

3. Connect the AC power supply and the load to the Sonoma board as shown in

Figure 4

.

4. Download the latest RD14V01_00.ZIP file located at

www.maximintegrated.com/sonoma

. All files available for download are

available at the bottom of the page.

5. Extract the RD14V01_00.ZIP file to a directory on your PC. The location is

arbitrary but the path prior to where you extract the .ZIP file must not exceed 82
characters due to the Windows 250-character total path limitation. For example,
this 90-character preceding path would be an example of a path that would be
too long:

C:\0123456789\0123456789\0123456789\0123456789\0123456789\0123456789\
0123456789\0123456789\0123456789\RD14V01_00.ZIP

(This path is too long.)

In addition, the Xilinx tools require the path to not contain any spaces.

C:\Do Not Use Spaces In The Path\RD14V01_00.ZIP

(This path has spaces.)

For the purposes of this document, it will be C:\designs\maxim\RD14V01_00\.
