Location LED / Connector Description and Usage Ayla Networks Board STM Board Power USB Connector Orange Link LED Reset Button Reset Button USB ST-Link This Mini-USB female connector is used to power your board. It is recommended to switch to this after programming your board (before resetting). Attempt to use this connection whenever applying power to your board to apply the correct amount of power to the board This Orange LED will notify you that the board has a connection to the network and, the Ayla Networks cloud. This reset is used to reset the Ayla Networks board, but should not be used unless directed to do so. This reset button, notably in the STM32F Discovery board, will reset the STM board when pressed. Additionally, it can be used to factory reset your device. Whenever this document mentions to reset the device, use this button or un-power and power your device. This Mini-USB female connector is used to program your board. Make sure you are plugged in here when downloading a new flash onto the board. Blue Button LED Test Circle This blue button is used in the demo applications and can also be used to factory reset your device. The LED Circle is where you should be looking to see if your LED s have lit up after setting up the Ayla Networks Developer s Dashboard. The three-circled LED s are, in order from left to right, Green, Blue, and Red. 2017 Ayla Networks, Inc. Proprietary 29
This section contains information about troubleshooting the Ayla Platform Design Kit. If your device is connected to the wrong network, or did not complete setup/registration correctly, you can factory reset your device. To do this, follow the steps below: 1. On the Ayla Design Kit, simply hold the blue button then quickly tap the black reset button without letting go of the blue button. 2. The Blue LED should start blinking when you tap the black button. When it finishes blinking, release the blue button. 3. Your device should restart and you have successfully completed the factory reset. Figure 43 -Factory Reset buttons A device can only be registered to one developer account at a time. You will need to unregister a device to attach it to your account if it has already been registered. To unregister the device contact Ayla Support. Additionally, the Ayla Networks board and not the STM32 board should power your design kit. If you do not power it from the Ayla Networks board, it may not get enough current. 2017 Ayla Networks, Inc. Proprietary 30
