Overview

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

  • Connect some peripherals, including monitor and USBs.
  • 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.


Remote connection via Serial interface

Overview

Serial header (J801) lets you debug system with an USB to 3V3 TTL level serial like TTL-232R-3V3 converter from 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.

A detailed guide on how to connect via serial debug port can be found by following this link: Using serial debug port to communicate
