Communicate

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

Forewords

The default connection uses a simple RS232 link (Null-Modem cable).
If you want to tranfer data with the outside world, in a faster way, the Ethernet link is here.
At this stage, you should have something like that:

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$

Connection with U-Boot on 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.
