=== Main Power ===
----
Evaluation kit main power can be provided from either a Li-Poly battery, or a DC power source. 
<blockquote>
==== Option 1 - DC only ====
Connector '''J6''' is the main DC power source of thе evaluation kit.
The DC power supply unit included with the evaluation kit provides 12V DC power to the system through '''J6'''.

==== Option 2 - Li-Poly Battery ====
Battery powered operation of the evaluation kit is supported through the main battery connector '''P19'''.
The evaluation kit is shipped with an accessory battery adapter allowing '''P19''' connection to custom batteries.
Please refer to [[SB-UCM:_Li-Poly Battery|battery specification]] for details on supported batteries.
<blockquote>

==== Main Battery Charging ====
This evaluation kit supports main battery charging when both power sources (Battery + DC) are available.
The '''DS1''' LED indicates battery charging is in progress.
Detailed status of the battery and charging process is available to software through I2C access to the SB-UCM on-board battery charger (U25 in SB-UCM schematics) and charging supervisor (U24 in SB-UCM schematics).

=== CAN ===
----
By default, only CAN1 interface is connected to the SB-UCM onboard CAN PHY and Isolator components with this evaluation kit.
# CAN bus nodes can be connected to evaluation kit header '''P5''' as described in [[SB-UCM:_HOWTO:_CAN_Connection|CAN node connection guide]].
{{note| Removing R143 + R145, then populating 0&Omega; resistors in R144 and R142 placeholders, enables connection of the CAN2 interface to SB-UCM onboard CAN PHY and Isolator components  instead of CAN1}}

<blockquote>
==== LCD ====
Connect the LCD panel included with the evaluation kit the the system through the FPC connector '''P10'''. Consult the software documentation in order to make sure system is configured utilize LCD display on '''P10'''.
<!--
* [[SB-SOM:_HOWTO:_LCD_Connection|LCD hardware connection guide]]
-->

=== System ===
----
<blockquote>
==== Reset ====
Pressing the reset button ('''SW2''') triggers evaluation kit cold reset.

==== Boot Sequence Selection ====
Evaluation kit supports normal and alternate boot sequences. Detailed description of the sequences is available in the UCM-iMX7 reference guide.
:* '''Normal Boot Sequence:''' During early boot stages, UCM-iMX7 executes the U-Boot firmware flashed into the onboard SPI Flash.
:* '''Alternate Boot Sequence:''' During early boot stages, UCM-iMX7 attempts to execute U-Boot firmware (if available) flashed into an SD card (at micro-SD slot '''P8''') before falling back to U-Boot firmware pre-flashed onto the onboard SPI Flash.
# Pressing and holding the "Alternate boot select" button ('''SW3''') during power-up or cold reset forces execution if the "Alternative Boot Sequence".
# Populating the '''E1''' jumper, forces the "Alternate Boot Sequence" for every boot attempt.
# Indication of selected boot sequence is shown with the '''DS12''' LED. (ON = "Alternate Boot Sequence" enabled).

==== Power ON / Cycle ====
* A short press of the ON/OFF button ('''SW1''') while system is operational, generates an OFF request to be serviced by software.
* A long (>5Sec) press of the ON/OFF button ('''SW1''') while system is operational, unconditionally shuts down the system (same as simply removing power source).
* A short press of the ON/OFF button ('''SW1''') while system is off, triggers the system start-up sequence.

==== RTC ====
The evaluation kit RTC (implemented onboard UCM-iMX7) is powered by a coin cell battery. RTC power can be disconnected by:
* Removing the coin cell battery.
* Removing jumper '''E8'''.

To quickly discharge the RTC power, momentarily short pins 1 and 2 of jumper '''E8'''.
{{note|Never short pins 1 & 2 of jumper '''E8''' while system power is available}}
