1.3 Difference: A1084-A and A1084-B
Please note that there is no separate evaluation board for the A1084-B. The A1084-
B is a subset of the A1084-A. It holds only one (primary) antenna input which allows
the connection of a passive or active antenna. Consequently, no antenna switch is
implemented on the A1084-B. Otherwise both module variants are identical.
The following chapters of the manual will refer to the A1084-A!
2 Handling Precautions
The EVA1084-A contains components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge
(ESD). Please handle with appropriate care.
3 Quick Start (using USB connection)
(1) Connect the EVA1084 with your PC using the included USB cable.
(2) When the PC asks for drivers select the folder “Tools\Drivers” on the included
CD ROM. Note that two drivers need to be installed, the
and the USB serial driver.
Note: During the driver installation process your Windows system will probably
notify you, that the driver did not pass Windows logo testing with a warning:
Note: After successful driver installation Windows might interpret the data com-
ing over the serial interface as a serial ballpoint mouse! Your mouse pointer can
start jumping around. To stop this, disable the according device using your de-
vice manager. Leave the EVA1084-A kit connected and press and keep press-
ing the reset button. You will find the device under “Mice and other pointing de-
vices”. Use a right click to open the sub-menu and disable the device.
