User Guide Odyssey MAX 10 FPGA and BLE Sensor Kit
© Mpression by Macnica Group
It is the object of this document to both introduce the first time user to the details of connecting to
and using the Odyssey kit as well as expose some details of the underling framework for more
experienced engineers that need to build upon the existing infrastructure.

2.2 Prerequisites
In order to have a successful experience using the Mpression Odyssey MAX 10 FPGA and BLE
Sensor Kit it is highly recommended users follow the guidelines as presented here. This User
Guide is written in such a fashion that the kit will provide a sufficient platform for understanding
the sensor integration and firmware framework.

2.2.1
Mpression MAX 10 FPGA and BLE Sensor Kit
At a minimum a user will need to have the BLE sensor board. This board provides the minimum
hardware and software necessary to enable the Odyssey system. If a user wishes to explore the
capability of using and/or creating custom logic in a programmable device the FPGA board must be
installed. Likewise, to enable a wireless solution using the BLE sensor board, the battery board
must be installed. See section 4 below for assembly details.

Power
A. USB Cable
The primary means to power to the Mpression Odyssey MAX 10 FPGA and BLE Sensor Kit is
through the micro USB connector on the BLE sensor board. If a user is using the USB cable solely
to supply power, it is not necessary to connect the cable to a PC, a wall adapter instead. However,
in order to upload any configuration files or use the Console Menu, the USB cable will need to be
connected to a PC. This cable is not supplied with the kits. Note, there are no LEDs or other
indicators providing feedback that the kit is powered.

To power-up the kit, simply insert a micro USB cable into the BLE sensor board receptacle
and the other end to a USB port supplying a standard 5 volts.

B. FPGA board DIP pins
An alternate method to power the Mpression Odyssey MAX 10 FPGA and BLE Sensor Kit is by
means of the DIP pins of the FPGA board. A solderless bread board can be used to mount the
FPGA board and supply power to the system. See section 3.1.3 and the FAQ below for more
details.

C. Battery
When using the battery board to supply power to the Odyssey kit, install a coin cell battery, part
number CR2032, into the battery retainer. When the FPGA board is being used, the battery
number CR2032, into the battery retainer. When the FPGA board is being used, the battery
