On this page, you will find all the usefull informations you need to configure your Armadeus board for optimum usage.
First StartUp
Just got your Armadeus board and want to start play with it ?
Then follow this quick list to setup your environment accordingly:
- 1. Connect your APF to your custom development board or to a DevLight (= the Target) --->>
- 2. Connect your PC (= the Host) to your development system with a null-modem RS232 cable
- 3. Power up the system (+5Vdc on a Devlight. + is in the middle of the connector, - on the side)
- 4. Establish the communication between your Host and your APF
- 5. Verify your APF by starting Linux: In U-Boot, type "boot". Several informations will be displayed on your console like on this screenshot
- 6. If Linux has successfully started, you can proceed with the toolchain installation. See Basics below
