How-To connect your Armadeus board to your development Host.

Forewords

The default connection uses a simple RS232 link (Null-Modem cable).
Note: if your Armadeus board is equipped with an ethernet controller, it can be used to speed up the Linux and RootFS images download.

Connection Setup

A Terminal emulator (for RS232 link) and a TFTP server (for ethernet link) have to be configured, depending on your Host operating system:

Linux

Connection with U-Boot on Linux

Window$

U-Boot communication

  • Verify that your RS232 cable is correctly connected
  • The bootstrap jumper must be removed
  • Start the RS232 terminal on the Host side
  • Reset the board
  • U-Boot must start

Here is a screenshot of what you will see on your Terminal emulator during the Linux boot.
