Can CR2032 power up D2000 Kit?

[AHuan36]

I tried to use a CR2032 battery to power up the D2000 kit board.

The power LED on board was not light up after I put the battery in the holder.

If the CR2032 cannot power up the board, what is the battery holder's function?

Yes a CR2032 can power the D2000 Development Kit

You will need to place J27 at position [2-3] to indicate that you are using the battery rather than the USB power

If you have a look at the board schematics you will see that the green LED is only on if you have USB or EXT Header connected (page 10) http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/embedded/products/quark/mcu/d2000/quark-d2000-crb-schematics.... Intel® Quark™ Microcontroller D2000: Schematics

You can use the 'blink' example to verify you have power - this example will blink the user defined LED 10 times on reset of the board...code is availabe here
