Connect the HDMI cable to the HiKey970 HDMI connector (marked J2001) and to the LCD Monitor.   Step 2. Connect the keyboard to the boards USB connector marked J1901(or J1902) and the mouse to the USB connector marked J1902(or J1901). Step 3. Ensure that the boot switches SW2402 are set to ‘1000’, on/off/off/off position.   Step 4. Connect the power supply to power connector J401.   Once you plug the power supply into a power outlet the board will start the booting process, and you should see Android boot up.   Please note that the first boot takes several minutes due to Androids initialization. Subsequent boot times should be faster.1.3 HiKey970 Overview 1.3.1 Boot switches and UART debug The HiKey board has multiple boot options that are user selectable in hardware which can be set via Switch SW2402. Figure 1-3 Boot switches

OFF : Pressing the power switch is required to boot up the system.    Boot Setting Switch   ON: the will attempt to program the UFS flash from USB OTG source. This should ONLY be used if the first stage bootloader is corrupted or needs to be replaced.   OFF : the unit boots from the first stage bootloader installed in the onboard UFS device.    User Jumper   Connected to GPIO_055 on the SoC and UEFI mode   ON : GPIO_055 will be pulled low, the board will boot up UEFI mode   OFF: GPIO_055 will be pulled High, the board will boot up the system    I2S SEL ON: I2S0 will connect Low Speed Expansion Connector   OFF: I2S0 will connect other channel. The HiKey board also has an option for a Debug UART Type C J3101. This is normally used by the first stage bootloader developers, and is connected to the UART6 port of the SoC. 1.3.2 POWER on button /reset button The power button S2403 can be used to power up, power down the system.    A simple press and release powers ON the board provided the Auto Power Jumper is not installed.   A press and release will then power OFF the board   The Reset button S2402 can be used to reset the system.

This is implemented by routing the specific power signals to the low speed bus connector J2101.4(PWRON_N) and J2401.6(EXP_RSTOUT_N). 1.3.3 DC in jack DC Power is provided via the DC jack at P401. This is a CUI PJ-041H connector with a center pin diameter of 1.65mm configured with positive polarity (center +). An 8V up to 18V power supply at a minimum of 2A rating can be used to provide sufficient board power for on system requirements as well as external devices. Additional current rating may be required for mezzanine boards or modules. DC Power can also be supplied via the SYS_DCIN pins on the low speed expansion J2101.     NOTE: Power should not be supplied simultaneously from multiple sources 1.3.4 Low speed expansion connector The HiKey board features two expansion connectors: one low speed expansion connector and one high speed. The low speed expansion connector carries GPIO and other low speed interfaces. The connector is a low profile 40 pin female 2mm receptacle (20x2) of a specified height of 4.5mm height.   The low speed expansion brings out 1.8V level SoC signals such as UART2 and UART3, I2C0 and I2C1, GPIO signals as well as SPI, Audio, Reset, 1.8V and Ground.

The USB interfaces are therefore subject to the following restrictions:  The type C or the Type A/Mezzanine board interfaces may be used depending on the state of GPIO_034_USBSW_SEL. Both interfaces may not be used at the same time.    The type C port supports a single attached device with USB slave operations or USB host high speed, full speed or low speed operations.    The Type A/Mezzanine board interfaces cannot support mixed speed devices. All attached devices must be of the same type – high speed, full speed or low speed. Furthermore, the HiKey board must be configured in software to support either full speed/low speed devices (default) or high/super speed devices on these ports.   1.3.9 System and user LEDs There are four status LEDs and four User LEDs on the HiKey board. The user LEDs can be programmed by the SoC directly.  D3305 – WiFi LED The WiFi activity LED is a Yellow type surface mount 0603 LED.    D3306- LED The activity LED is a Blue Type surface mount 0603 LED .  D3301-D3304 – USER LEDs   The four user LEDs are surface mount Green Type 0603 LED .  D3308-GPS LED  D3307-CAN LED 1.3.10 JTAG header The HiKey board includes the option for soldering a 10 pin header that brings out the SoC signals for JTAG debug.

Connect the HDMI cable to the HiKey970 HDMI connector (marked J2001) and to the LCD Monitor.   Step 2. Connect the keyboard to the boards USB connector marked J1901(or J1902) and the mouse to the USB connector marked J1902(or J1901). Step 3. Ensure that the boot switches SW2402 are set to ‘1000’, on/off/off/off position.   Step 4. Connect the power supply to power connector J401.   Once you plug the power supply into a power outlet the board will start the booting process, and you should see Android boot up.   Please note that the first boot takes several minutes due to Androids initialization. Subsequent boot times should be faster.1.3 HiKey970 Overview 1.3.1 Boot switches and UART debug The HiKey board has multiple boot options that are user selectable in hardware which can be set via Switch SW2402.

OFF : Pressing the power switch is required to boot up the system.    Boot Setting Switch   ON: the will attempt to program the UFS flash from USB OTG source. This should ONLY be used if the first stage bootloader is corrupted or needs to be replaced.   OFF : the unit boots from the first stage bootloader installed in the onboard UFS device.    User Jumper   Connected to GPIO_055 on the SoC and UEFI mode   ON : GPIO_055 will be pulled low, the board will boot up UEFI mode   OFF: GPIO_055 will be pulled High, the board will boot up the system    I2S SEL ON: I2S0 will connect Low Speed Expansion Connector   OFF: I2S0 will connect other channel. The HiKey board also has an option for a Debug UART Type C J3101. This is normally used by the first stage bootloader developers, and is connected to the UART6 port of the SoC. 1.3.2 POWER on button /reset button The power button S2403 can be used to power up, power down the system.    A simple press and release powers ON the board provided the Auto Power Jumper is not installed.   A press and release will then power OFF the board   The Reset button S2402 can be used to reset the system.

This is implemented by routing the specific power signals to the low speed bus connector J2101.4(PWRON_N) and J2401.6(EXP_RSTOUT_N). 1.3.3 DC in jack DC Power is provided via the DC jack at P401. This is a CUI PJ-041H connector with a center pin diameter of 1.65mm configured with positive polarity (center +). An 8V up to 18V power supply at a minimum of 2A rating can be used to provide sufficient board power for on system requirements as well as external devices. Additional current rating may be required for mezzanine boards or modules. DC Power can also be supplied via the SYS_DCIN pins on the low speed expansion J2101.     NOTE: Power should not be supplied simultaneously from multiple sources 1.3.4 Low speed expansion connector The HiKey board features two expansion connectors: one low speed expansion connector and one high speed. The low speed expansion connector carries GPIO and other low speed interfaces. The connector is a low profile 40 pin female 2mm receptacle (20x2) of a specified height of 4.5mm height.   The low speed expansion brings out 1.8V level SoC signals such as UART2 and UART3, I2C0 and I2C1, GPIO signals as well as SPI, Audio, Reset, 1.8V and Ground.

The USB interfaces are therefore subject to the following restrictions:  The type C or the Type A/Mezzanine board interfaces may be used depending on the state of GPIO_034_USBSW_SEL. Both interfaces may not be used at the same time.    The type C port supports a single attached device with USB slave operations or USB host high speed, full speed or low speed operations.    The Type A/Mezzanine board interfaces cannot support mixed speed devices. All attached devices must be of the same type – high speed, full speed or low speed. Furthermore, the HiKey board must be configured in software to support either full speed/low speed devices (default) or high/super speed devices on these ports.   1.3.9 System and user LEDs There are four status LEDs and four User LEDs on the HiKey board. The user LEDs can be programmed by the SoC directly.  D3305 – WiFi LED The WiFi activity LED is a Yellow type surface mount 0603 LED.    D3306- LED The activity LED is a Blue Type surface mount 0603 LED .  D3301-D3304 – USER LEDs   The four user LEDs are surface mount Green Type 0603 LED .  D3308-GPS LED  D3307-CAN LED 1.3.10 JTAG header The HiKey board includes the option for soldering a 10 pin header that brings out the SoC signals for JTAG debug.
