Tang Primer 20K

Ongoing editing.

We have 2 ext-board for Tang Primer 20K, the Dock and the Lite. Here I will tell the start of them

1. Dock ext-board#

1.1. Matters need attention#

Here are matters need attention, to avoid spending much time dealing with trouble and fail at last.

1.1.1. Enable Core Board#

For 20K Dock kits, it's necessary to enable the core board before using debugger debug the chip, just put the 1 switch on the dip switch down, otherwise LED0 and LED1 are on and core board dose not work.

Enable Core Board	Disable state	Additional comments
		When disabled, the LDE0 and LED1 is on, and core board doesn't work.

1.1.2. Device not work#

We have inserted the Core Board into Dock ext-board before delivery, but sometimes we need remove the Core board for some reasons, and after reinserting the Core Board into Dock ext-board, they don't work.

The correct connection steps is to insert the Core board into the ext-board at an Angle roughly as shown in the left figure below. Make sure that the Core board inserted diagonally from above is in uniform contact with the ext-board, which can be judged by the degree of uniformity of the exposed gold finger.

Then gently press the tilted end, you can hear a sound of the Core board being fixed by the ext-board slot.

If you find it difficult to press the tilted end, you can try to polish both sides of the Core board slightly to eliminate the size error caused by the production process.

Just polish the two sides of the red box in the figure above to reduce the difficulty of inserting.
