Connect the Evaluation Board LP-AM261

• Connect the J13 on the LP-AM261 to 3.3V using a jumper (for powering up the Breakout Board)
• Connect the IO-Link/Breakout Board BOOSTXL-IOLINKM-8 to the LP-AM261 board via J1/J3, J2/J4, J5/J7, and J6/J8 connectors. Ensure not to press too hard to avoid any contact with the screw heads.
• Connect the J10 connector on the LP-AM261 to a USB-C 5.0V power supply (min. 3.0A)
• Connect the J7 connector on the IO-Link/Breakout Board BOOSTXL-IOLINKM-8 to a 24V power supply.
• Connect the LP-AM261 to a computer using a micro-USB cable going to the J20 connector. This is for UART
  (for IOLink SMI Communication) as well as JTAG (for uploading and debugging).

Steps to Run the Example

• When using CCS projects to build, import the CCS project for the required combination and build it using the CCS project menu, see Using SDK with CCS Projects.
• When using makefiles to build, note the required combination and build using make command , see Using SDK with Makefiles.
• Launch a CCS debug session and run the executable, see CCS Launch, Load and Run.
  

Import Project in CCS

Importing the project into your CCS workspace

• Click on File → Import Projects....
  
• Navigate to the examples/industrial_comms/ethernetip_iolink_gateway_demo folder using the Browse... button.
• Select the folder of the board you want to import.
• Click on Select folder.
  
  CCS should have discovered and selected the project.
• Click on Finish to import the project.
  

Compile, Run and Debug Project

• Right-click on the project and click on "Build Projects"
  
  
• Make sure the USB JTAG is connected to the PC and the Board is powered on.
  

• To Debug, right-click on the project and select "Debug Project"
  CCS automatically builds the project(if not done explicitly), connects to the Board,
  transfers the compiled binary project data into the RAM and starts a debugging session.
  
  

• When the transfer is complete the debugger halts at the main() function.
  

• Click on Run to execute the program.
  
  

To run your code without the CCS debugger, you need to manually flash the compiled binary data
(including a compatible bootloader) into the devices QSPI attached flash memory.
