Test Procedure

  • Test setup as above
  • Test setup powered down
  • Install UUT (RPI-Console card being tested)
  • Disconnect USB cable to Arduino (not used for power)
  • Install P1 jumper on UUT (power the test station from the RPI-CONSOLE)
  • Connect USB cable from Test Computer (laptop) to UUT
  • Boards should power up
  • Run putty on Test Computer (laptop)
  • Look in Device manager to make sure COM port was added
  • Select COM port in putty
  • Hit reset on Arduino Shield or attached to GVSDuino
  • Verify the message comes back
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog
0123456789
asdfghjkl
Hit keys to test
  • Type and verify that the character comes back
  • Disconnect USB to RPI-Console
