Compliance Documents
Description
This carrier board is designed specifically for use with our CFA10036 module, giving you quick and easy access to all the input/output pins.
The CFA10037 ships with a 110VAC, +5v / 1.0A power supply

The CFA10037 gives access to all the port pins of the CFA10036, and by extension the port pins of the i.MX28. It also has a prototype area with solid power distribution. All of this is offered in a prototype-friendly 0.1" center format. We made a set of holes that line up with shields designed for an Arduino Uno R3.
By using 0.1" center headers and socketed hook-up wire, you can connect any of the pins on the CFA10036 to any location on the prototype area.
We did give you a hand with the Ethernet PHY and USB A connector, since those will commonly be used, and their PCB layout can be fussy.
For serious hardware-level debugging, signals are brought out for connection to a compatible JTAG debugger

Product Update #10588: R_MDIO needs populated with a 1.5K resistor
| Products Affected: | CFA10037, CFA921-TS, CFA920-TS |
| Date Issued: | May 22, 2014 |
| Summary: | R_MDIO needs populated with a 1.5K resistor |
| Description: | R_MDIO needs populated with a 1.5K resistor so that the device gets properly set up by Linux on start-up. |
| Reason: | MDIO times out before it can be detected. |
| Recommendation: | 1. Install 1.5k pull-up to R_MDIO. Or 2. Use kernel version cfa-3.12.17, commit ID 2cbfe6e36266b82daac0a9e9aa92e0706e306411 located: https://github.com/crystalfontz/cfa_10036_kernel/tree/cfa-3.12.17 Please make sure you use the commit above if you decide to use this method. |
Product Update #10584: The Linux SOM family has had a kernel and a build update.
| Products Affected: | CFA-10036, CFA10037, CFA10055-8, CFA10056-4, CFA921-TS, CFA920-TS |
| Date Issued: | April 28, 2014 |
| Summary: | The Linux SOM family has had a kernel and a build update. |
| Description: | Linux kernel update and build update. |
| Recommendation: | To access the new build please visit: http://images.crystalfontz.com/releases/ |
Product Update #10571: The CFA-10036 modules have been updated to include a heat shield to provide better thermal cooling for the i.MX28 processor.
| Products Affected: | CFA-10036, CFA10037, CFA921-TS, CFA920-TS |
| Date Issued: | October 30, 2013 |
| Summary: | The CFA-10036 modules have been updated to include a heat shield to provide better thermal cooling for the i.MX28 processor. |
