4.1 Configure the Hardware
-
Check and confirm FRDM-STBA-A8967 sensor shield board settings as described below:
- To select I²C digital interface, connect pins 2-3 of SW2 on FRDM-STBA-A8967.
- To select SPI digital interface, connect pins 2-3 of SW2 on FRDM-STBA-A8967.
- Connect pins 2-3 of SW1 to select default accelerometer operating mode i.e. "ACCEL NORMAL" mode.
- Connect FRDM-STBA-A8967 sensor shield board to FRDM-K22F MCU board using Arduino I/O headers.
- Connect the sensor development kit (FRDM-STBA-A8967 kitted with FRDM-K22F) to the training PC via the USB cable between the OpenSDA USB port on the board and the USB connector on the PC.
- For a smooth 'Out-of-the-box' experience with sensor development software tools, make sure that the latest version of the default OpenSDA boot loader and firmware application is on the FRDM-K22F. This allows debugging, flash programming and serial communication over a USB cable. Obtain the latest OpenSDA drivers for FRDM boards available at OpenSDA update to the FRDM boards.
