USB3.0 superspeed interface.
7-17VDC: The DC power input (7 to 17 VDC) barrel jack input can be used as an alternative to the
USB3 interface to power the Matchstiq Z3u.
uUSB: The microUSB interface (CP2102 USB-UART) provides access to the Linux serial console.
The default serial console runs at a rate of 115.2 kbsps baud, with 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity
bits, and no flow control.
After you have removed and verified that all the package contents are present as outlined in the
Matchstiq Z3u Package Contents, setup the system as follows:
The Matchstiq Z3u can be powered up via either the USB3 interface or the 7-17VDC input. The
Matchstiq Z3u can be used by either running Sidekiq applications on a host system and running in a
standalone system running Sidekiq applications directly on the Z3u.
In the case of interfacing with the Matchstiq Z3u via a host system, a USB-C cable connecting to a
USB3.0 capable host should be used to both power the Matchstiq Z3u as well as communicate to
the host. Host systems supported are: Linux, Windows, MacOS, or an Android device.
In the case of applications running standalone directly on the Matchstiq Z3u, the unit can be
powered with the power adapter provided and does not require a host device.
When power is applied to the Matchstiq Z3u, the unit will power on and the status LED will turn on a
solid green. After several seconds, once the system is fully booted up, the Status LED will begin
blinking.
