Note: Ethernet network must provide DHCP and Internet to the module.
Attention: Double check that your power supply is within the Verdin Development Board limits (7-27V) and that the polarity is not inverted. Also, make sure that the current capability of the power supply is enough, or the system may shut down unexpectedly. For evaluation purposes, a 12V 2A power supply is recommended.
