  2. 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).

  4. Connect the power supply on your development board.
  5. 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 NOT, walk through this small checklist.
  6. 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.
