Starting up the Reference Design

Perform the following steps to start-up the reference design:

  • Connect a USB cable between a PC and the micro USB connector (J12)
  • Open a serial terminal (for example, TeraTerm) and connect to the USB serial port of the reference design. Configure the serial port to 11500 baud, 8N1.
  • Add μSD card with Linux image to μSD card slot (J15 )
  • Use bench supply to provide 24 V to power connector (J8)
  • Once power is applied, the reference board boots from external μSD card

Once 24-V power is applied, the reference board boots from external μSD card. Use the serial terminal console to interface and control the reference design.
