− | == Overview ==
| |
− | | |
− | This is the 1/3 chapter of the Getting Started with IGEP AQUILA EXPANSION Tutorial Guide. In this first chapter, we will learn :
| |
− | | |
− | * Boot the board and touring the default firmware.
| |
− | * Connect remotely to the board via Serial interface.
| |
− | | |
− | 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 peripherals:
| |
− | | |
− | * IGEP SMARC AM335x o iMX moudule with an uSD card
| |
− | * IGEP SMARC EXPANSION with its power supply
| |
− | * FTDI cable
| |
− | * Monitor compatible with HDMI with audio.
| |
− | * HDMI cable
| |
− | * Powered USB HUB 2.0
| |
− | * USB keyboard and a mouse
| |
− | * Network cable
| |
− | * PC
| |

− | == Connect IGEP SMARC Expansion with IGEP SMARC Boards ==
| |
− | | |
− | The IGEP SMARC Expansion connects to the IGEP SMARC Boards through J200 connector. <br> <br>

| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | == Booting ==
| |
− | | |
− | Before booting, mount J1202 jumper in boot0 position in order to boot from uSD or boot2 position in order to boot from module device (NAND/NOR).
| |
− | Other boot possibilities can be selected (see SMARC EXPANSION manual)
| |
− | | |
− | "Under the hood" the bootloader is preparing to load the linux kernel. The linux kernel loads and initializes the hardware and mounts the root file system.
| |
− | The firmware in its microSD card consists of a minimal Linux-based distribution with a lite X Window System and GNOME Mobile based applications created with Poky Platform Builder.
| |
− | | |
− | You can use the mouse and the keyboard to dive into the desktop.

| |
− | | |
− | == 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 dynamic IP address (via DHCP).

| |
− | | |
− | === Overview ===
| |
− | | |
− | Serial header (J801) lets you debug system with an USB to 3V3 TTL level serial like TTL-232R-3V3 converter from [http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/Cables/USBTTLSerial.htm FTDI] or compatible reference. The TTL-232R-3V3 converter has 6 pins and IGEP SMARC EXPANSION add a 7th way (3v3 power). The next image shows how to connect it:

− | === Setting up connection ===
| |
− | | |
− | Open the serial on your PC using your preferred serial communications program (minicom) and configure the port as follows:
| |
− | | |
− | * 115200
| |
− | * 8N1
| |
− | * no flow control (either software or hardware)
| |
− | | |
− | Open the serial port and the debug shell prompt should appear.
| |
