1.  Make sure the Gateway/Connectivity Cape has this jumper 
configuration:

a. J11, J12, J13, J14, J27, J28, J29, J30, and J31 connected 

between pins 1 and 2 (Choosing UART1 for BT)

b. J33 connected between pins 2 and 3
c. Other jumpers should be left open

2.  Connect the Gateway/Connectivity Cape to the BeagleBone Black 
via the expansion headers on the bottom side of the Cape board.  
Make sure the connectors are aligned and the cut out on the Cape 
board is over the Ethernet connector.
 

3.  Refer to this URL for instructions on how to program the micro-
SD card and run the demo: https://www.element14.com/wcc  

4.  Once programmed via an SD card programmer (built in to a PC or 
a USB to SD card dongle), insert the micro-SD card into the micro-
SD card socket (P10) on the bottom side of the BeagleBone Black.
 
5.  While holding the S2 button located on the top side of the micro-
SD card socket on the BeagleBone Black, connect 5V to the barrel 
power connector (P1).
