Overview

This is the 1/3 chapter of the Getting Started with IGEP RADAR LAMBDA Tutorial Guide. In this first chapter, we will learn:

• Connect the radar to a PC via Ethernet.
• Boot the board with the default firmware.
• Make first measurements using web server demo application.

Upon completion, you will be ready to continue with chapter 2/3 that explains more advanced tasks.

Requirements

In this tutorial we are going to use the following materials:

• IGEP RADAR LAMBDA with its power supply
• Network cable
• PC with keyboard, mouse and monitor

Getting started

The following video illustrates the getting started process. You will see how to connect some peripherals and power up the board.

Monitor

The board will connect to your DVI monitor via its HDMI connector. You can use a HDMI/DVI-D cable to connect the board to the monitor. Your monitor should be able to support 1024 x 768 @ 60 Hz, which is the default resolution used by the firmware.

If your monitor doesn't have a DVI-D input, you can also use a HDMI input using a HDMI/HDMI cable, in that case you should edit the kernel cmdline parameters and replace :

omapfb.mode=dvi:1280x720MR-16@60

for this one :

omapfb.mode=dvi:hd720-16@60

Network

You may now plug the Ethernet cable into the 10/100 Ethernet jack of the board to get network access. The default firmware configures the Ethernet device with static ip address (192.168.5.1).
