Hardware Requirements

Dalmore devkit hardware supplied in the box includes the following:

Main devkit board
Debug/expansion board
Power adapter

IMPORTANT: Unlike most previous-generation Tegra development kits, the Dalmore uses an AC adapter that outputs 12V DC (previous kits normally used 15V DC). Verify that you are using a 12V adapter, and contact your NVIDIA Developer Relations manager if you do not have a 12V adapter.

Developer-supplied hardware includes:

Windows PC (XP, Vista or Win-7, x32 or x64) with an available USB port
USB A to USB-micro cable (may or may not be shipped with the development kit; this is not a custom cable. Standard USB A to USB micro cables should work)
