QUICK SETUP
Note: Instruction refer to Figure 1, above.
1. Power-On and Reset:
a. Verify that jumper JP3 (power source selector) is in the 1-2 position (to select the 5V
power jack).
b. Verify that all eight dip switches (SW1) are set to the OFF position for normal
operation (800 MHz CPU and 800 MHz DDR4).
c. Connect the 5V power supply to power jack J27. The power supply should be 5V
and at least 2.5A; the jack should be 2.5 mm in diameter (‘+’ in the center core).
d. Verify that all six green power LEDs (D26, D29, D23, D22, D28, D27) are ON.
e. Press and hold the PWR-ON-RST (SW3) button to issue a Power-On reset. Also verify
that red LED D24 is ON.
f. Release PWR-ON-RST (SW3) button and verify that LED D24 is OFF.
2. USB-to-UART:
a. Download and install the USB-to-UART driver from:
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
according to the host OS.
b. Connect a mini-USB cable between the PC host and J2. J2 is a USB-to-UART
connector to the Serial Interface (SI2) of the BMC. Uboot and Linux terminal
messages are sent though this port.
c. Wait for the FTDI driver to be installed automatically. The COM port number is
assigned automatically.
3. Terminal:
a. Open a terminal (e.g., Tera Term version 4.87) and set the correct COM port number
assigned by the FTDI driver (in Step 2c).
The COM port should be configured as follows:
115 Kbps, 8 bit, 1 stop-bit, no parity no flow control.
b. Press and release the PWR-ON-RST (SW3) button to issue a Power-On-reset.
c. Verify that the boot block, Uboot and Linux versions are up-to-date. Check with
Nuvoton support for the most recent versions.
