Introduction
Quick Start Guide for M53015EVB
In this Quick Start Guide, you will learn how to
setup the Web server on the board and use the
pre-loaded u-boot bootloader to boot the µClinux
kernel with filesystem resident in flash.
In addition, this Quick Start Guide will provide a
walk-through of how to play a sample MP3 from
the USB flash mass storage device included in
the kit, and also record and play back a voice
WAV file from the included SD memory card.

Connect the
Power Connector
Plug the power connector into the barrel
connector (J51) on the board. Power-on
the board via the switch (SW6).
As the board autoboots µClinux, you
will hear the welcome message from the
board in a few seconds, shortly after the
LED (D1) lights up.
Install the USB to Serial Driver, CP210x_
VCP+Win2K_XP_S2K3.exe, found on
the DVD. This will enable the board to
communicate to a serial terminal.
Connect the USB Cable
Connect the USB cable from
the PC to the Serial-to-USB connector
(UART0) on J49.
STEP

STEP
4
Open and Configure
HyperTerminal
Configure for 115200, 8 bits, no flow
control, 1 stop bit.
STEP
5
Connect an Ethernet
Cable to the Network
If you would like to connect the board via
a local network, connect an Ethernet cable
between the network and the board via
the bottom RJ45 jack. (P2) This Ethernet
interface uses DHCP and will automatically
get an IP address. Skip to Step 8.
To connect directly to a PC, continue to
Step 6.

STEP
7
If Necessary, Manually
Setup TCP/IP on the PC
The default IP address of the board is
169.254.3.3. Typically, when you connect
your computer directly to the board,
the computer will default to an auto IP
address on the same subnet as the board
(169.254.x.x), requiring no setup.
NOTE: The PC may take a few minutes to default to
the auto IP address and make the connection.
If you have trouble connecting, configure
the IP address of the computer
manually via Start > Settings > Network
Connections > Local Area Connection.
Note your original TCP/IP settings, then
set your IP address to 169.254.3.4 and
your subnet mask to 255.255.0.0.
STEP
6
Connect an Ethernet
Cable Between
the PC and the Board
Connect an Ethernet cable between
the PC and the board via the top
RJ45 jack (P2).

Quick Start Guide for M53015EVB
STEP
8
Confirm IP Address
of Board
Now, go to the previously configured
HyperTerminal window. At this point, the
board would have already booted and you
will have to hit “Enter” in order to see the
“$” prompt.
Now, type the command: ifconfig in order
to verify your IP address for eth0, if you
are connected to a local network, or eth1,
if you are connected directly to a PC. The
IP address for eth1 will be 169.254.3.3.

STEP
9
Open a Web Browser
Next, open a Web browser and
go to the board’s IP address, found in the
previous step, to view the Web page that
resides in the M53015EVB external flash
memory.
This page is being served by the
µClinux Boa server residing in
external flash memory.
STEP
10
Insert the SD Memory
Device
Insert the included SD memory device
into the board’s SD connector (P1).
You will see µClinux automount the SD
memory device, which is a new feature
added to the standard ColdFire µClinux
distribution. Hit “Enter” to see the
command prompt.

STEP
11
Record Your Voice
After the SD memory device has
mounted, it is now ready to use. We will
use the on-board microphone to record
voice with the internal voice codec.
In HyperTerminal, type the command:
vrec -w -t 10 -s 8000 -b 16 -D /dev/
dsp1 /mnt/sd/test.wav. Now, speak
into the microphone for approximately
10 seconds.

Next, type the command: ls /mnt/sd.
You will see the contents listed as:

Next, type the command: vplay -t 10 -s

wav to play the file using the internal
voice codec.
You will hear your voice audio from the
on-board speaker.
STEP
12
Mount the USB Mass
Storage Device
Before moving on, please move the blue
jumpers J3 and J4 on the board to position
2-3. Moving these jumpers connects the
external codec to the on-board speaker
instead of the internal. For further details
of the internal and external codecs, please
refer to the M53015EVB User’s Manual.
Insert the included USB mass storage
device into the board’s USB Type A
receptacle (J50). You will see the device
automount the USB mass storage device,
which is a new feature added to the
standard ColdFire µClinux distribution.
Hit “Enter” to see the command prompt.

STEP
13
Hear the Music
After the USB mass storage
device has initialized and attached, it is
now ready to use. In HyperTerminal using
the kernel prompt, type the command:
ls /mnt/usb. You will see the contents
listed as: sample1.mp3* and sample2.

mp3play/mnt/usb/sample1.mp3.
You will hear the music play from the
on-board speaker.
