QUICK START
1.) Installation
The evaluation board is conntected to a free USB-Port of the PC with the delivered USB-cable.
Windows detects the new hardware. Drivers for all
supported different Windowsversions are found on the CD
in the folder: d:\drivers:
After successfully installing the driver, both green LEDs
(left and right) will shine.
The next step is installing the EA KIT-editor and compiler
of eDIP-Series.
The setupfile
“setup LCD-Tools Portable“ is found in the root-directory of the
CD.
Please follow the instructions of the installer.
2.) First-time operation of display
Mount your eDIP on the evaluation board. Make sure that it is
mounted correctly, pin 1 is placed in the lower left corner.
An external power supply is not needed.
3.) Compile and flash the display
Run EA KIT-Editor and choose a project. To open a project,
please go to the context menu: “File->open“ and select a file (*.kmc). During installation of KIT-
Editor some examples are installed, please find them under: <your drive>:\LCD Tools\Data\eDIP
- intelligent graphic displays\eDIP???\How to use\. Please make sure to use the right folder,
suitable for your module. Please choose a subject you are interested in and open one of the project
files.
To compile the project and download it
onto the module only one additional click
is needed. The farest right icon ‘compile’
starts compilation and downloads the
successfully
compiled
p r o j e c t
automatically
to the display.

4.) Useful tool “EA LCD Terminal“
After starting the terminal (from EA KIT-editor: the second icon from the right) a dialog
is shown with all present serial interfaces.
Please choose the one
labeled with “x: eDIP
Programmer (COMx)“. The
Evaluation board has the
baudrate 115200. Please
activate the Small-Protocol
(Shift+F8) to exchange data
and commands with the display.
5.) Useful tool “EA BitmapEdit“
The EA BitmapEdit is a simple image processing program. It’s designed to use with
the eDIP-Series, it can save and load all
formats (e.g. *.g16, *.BLH) of EA eDIP-
Series.
In addition, you can create elementary
animations, by dragging the single
pictures onto the editor.
6.) Useful tool “EA Instrument Editor“
The EA eDIPTFT-Series is able to show analogue pointer instruments. To create
those instruments you have to use this editor.

EA 9777-2USB EVALUATIONBOARD
The Evaluation board provides a variety of features, starting with LEDs to indicate data-transfer,
ending with potentiometers to use the analogue inputs of EA eDIPTFTs.
The lands J8 are directly connected with the corresponding pin of the eDIP. If you remove the 0R-
resistors the periphery is completly disconnected. Please refer to the schematic on the last page.
Note:
Not all functions of the Evaluation board are supported by every display of the eDIP-series.
FUNCTION OF POTENTIOMETER
Both potentiometers are connected to the anolgue inputs of the eDIPTFTs. They set the
voltage of AIN1 and AIN2 between GND and VDD.
