info

On the Omega2S Eval Board, the surface-mount Omega2S module is soldered down to the Eval Board, so this step is not necessary.

Step 2: Connect the Eval Board to a computer​

Plug the USB cable into the USB-C port on the Omega2 Eval Board and connect the other end to a USB port on your computer. This provides power to the Omega as well as a connection with Omega2’s command line.

note

The Omega2 Eval Boards have voltage regulators so the USB port can power the Omega2 with the required 3.3Vdc.

Step 3: Power on​

Turn on your Omega2 using the switch.
