Setup and installation
To begin using the UDK with your development system, you need to:
Set up the hardware
• Insert a USIM card (UMTS modules only) (page 6)
• Insert the Mini Card (page 7)
• Connect the antenna(s) (page 8)
• Connect the power supply and USB cable (page 10)
• Configure the module (page 10)
Set up the software
• Install/update drivers (page 12)
• Install Watcher (page 14)
Hardware setup
Insert a USIM card (UMTS modules only)
To use a UMTS module (MC87xx), you need to install a USIM card (with an
active UMTS account).
1. Place the daughterboard face-down – the USIM slot is at the opposite
end from the antenna connection.
2. Open the USIM casing – the casing latches in place, so you may have to
push the tab marked “LIFT” slightly to the side before lifting it.
2130677
S e t up a nd i ns ta l la t ion
3. Insert the USIM card with its circuitry facing the daughterboard – line up
the notch in the card with the notch in the slot.
4. Close the USIM casing.
Insert the Mini Card
After inserting the USIM card, insert the Mini Card:
1. Place the daughterboard face-up – the Mini Card slot is beside the USB
connector.
2. Remove the two screws that are located on the metal strips near the
antenna end of the board.
3. Hold the Mini Card at the screw holes and slide it into the
daughterboard’s Mini Card slot at a 45-degree angle.
1 .1C Apr- 06
M i n i C a r d U n i ve r s a l D e v e l opment Kit Quick Start Guide
4. Push and hold the module down when it is firmly seated in the slot and
then fasten it using the screws removed in Step 2.
Remove/replace the Mini Card
When you want to remove or replace the Mini Card:
1. Place the daughterboard face-up.
2. Remove the connecting wire(s) from the Mini Card’s antennas – use the
connector tool, hooking it under the wire connector and pull straight up.
3. Unscrew the Mini Card from the daughterboard.
4. Hold the module at the screw holes and raise it to a 45-degree angle.
5. Pull the module out of the slot.
Connect the antenna(s)
After installing the Mini Card, connect the supplied antenna(s) to the
daughterboard (UMTS modules have a single antenna, CDMA modules have a
main antenna and a diversity antenna):
1. Place the daughterboard face-up.
2130677
S e t up a nd i ns ta l la t ion
2. Screw the silver adapter onto the daughterboard’s main antenna
connector.
3. Connect the Mini Card’s main antenna to the daughterboard’s main
antenna connector using the gray wire provided – press down lightly on
the connector ends (the first few times you use these connectors, they
may be quite snug – press straight down on the end to get a secure
connection).
4. Connect the antenna to the adapter. (The first few times you attach the
antenna, it may be quite snug.)
5. If you are using a CDMA module, repeat Steps 2-4 for the diversity
antenna.

Connect the power supply and USB cable
To install the power supply and USB cable:
1. Place the daughterboard face-up.
2. Insert one end of the USB cable into the USB connector (beside the Mini
Card) – the other end connects to your development computer (DO NOT
connect it yet).
3. Insert the power supply into the daughterboard’s power supply connector
(beside the USB connector) – the other end connects to a standard power
outlet.
Configure the module
The daughterboard includes several switches and jumpers that you can use to
configure the module’s operation, as detailed in Tables 2 through 5.
