  3. Connect the power supply on your development board.
  4. Establish the communication between your Host and your APF.
  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 login is "root" with an empty password).
