Single Board Computer (SBC) Mounting Provisions

For convenience purposes, the HDK board provides mounting hole provisions to accommodate one of several popular open source-supported SBC hardware modules so a clean, single assembly can be realized for prototype or demonstration purposes . The mounting positions and fastening screw holes reserved for these modules are shown in the figure below.

The HDK provides convenience power via standard off-the-shelf cables via:
5VDC Type-A USB jack
12VDC D6.4/2.35mm male DC barrel

With uPoE AP power, the HDK can power 15W or less low-power modules that can run on 5VDC or 12VDC. Modules that require different supply voltages or more power than supported by the HDK may be used for development purposes, but they must be powered separately with offboard power adapters.

Suggested Accessory Parts
  • D6.4/2.35mm DC barrel power cable
  • Type-A to mini/micro-USB USB charging cable
  • RJ45 straight-through Ethernet cable
  • 3 or 4pcs 10mm, M3 standoffs for board mounting

Intel NUC Modules

The Intel NUC module power supply and power consumption vary greatly among available models. With uPoE AP power, the HDK can directly power 15W or less low-power NUC's that can run on 12VDC. Examples include Atom or Celeron-class NUC's.

XBee Radio Socket

A single pair of 2mm inline sockets accommodate a standard Digi 20pin radio

  • https://www.digi.com/xbee
  • XBee connections via 10pin 0.1" breakout headers
  • 5V I/O tolerance via onboard level-shifting
  • LED Association status indicator

A standard off-the-shelf 6-pin FTDI serial cable header allows users to program the XBee radio without removal

Power Interface

3.3VDC powered by the HDK

Power Consumption

Dependent on XBee radio: 0.31W~1.32W typical
