On this page, you will find all the usefull informations you need to configure your Armadeus board for optimum usage.
Contents
First StartUp
Just got your Armadeus board and want to start playing with it ? Follow these quick steps to setup your environment accordingly:
- Connect your APF to your development board (custom or DevLight/DevFull) (your system will be hereafter referred to as "the Target") --->>
- Connect your PC (= "the Host") to your board with a null-modem RS232 cable. If you don't have a RS232 port on your Host, you can use a "USB <-> serial" converter (you'll still require the null-modem cable).
- Connect the power supply on your development board.
- Establish the communication between your Host and your APF.
- Verify your system is booting by starting Linux: In U-Boot console, type "boot". Several informations will be displayed on your terminal like on this screenshot (Default Linux login is "root" with an empty password).
- If Linux has successfully started, your system is operational. If you want to add applications to your board or developp custom ones, then you can proceed with the Toolchain installation. See Basics below.
