Starting the Board
1 Prerequisites
2 Preparation
Step 1: Download Image: HD96.img
(https://github.com/ArrowElectronics/hd96)
Step 2: Download and install Etcher
Windows: (https://www.balena.io/etcher/)
Linux: Install Etcher (Ubuntu)
Step 3 Serial Interface Connection
(Optional)
Windows: PUTTY (https://putty.org/)
Linux: PUTTY
Shield96 (Board itself)
SD Card Reader
Power adapter
USB-to-Micro-USB Cable
Micro SD Card
WIFI Antenna (optional)
Ethernet cable (optional)
3 Flashing Image to SD-card Windows / Linux with Etcher
Step 1: Select Image (HD96.img) Step 2: Select SD Card

Bleibt HD96???

Step 3: Flash Image to SD Card
4 Power-on
Step 1: Connect Ethernet Cable
Step 2: Insert SD card into SD card slot
Step 3: Connect USB to J2 PC/Power or to J10 Debug
Step 4: Connect to Device over SSH
Note: During boot the Device will try to establish a network connection, this may take a bit longer if
no Ethernet cable is connected.
Step 4: Unplug SD Card
Unplug SD Card as soon as
Etcher finished flashing If you start the Device for the first
time it may be useful to see the boot
messages or get the device IP address
to be able to SSH to the device. You
can use the J10 Debug Interface and
a serial monitor like putty to connect
to the device.
· Connect USB Cable to
J10 Debug
· Open putty
- Choose Connection type
Serial
- Set COM Port
- Set Speed to 115200
