1Insert SD
Card
Insert the supplied SD card into the
SD2 card slot.
2Set Up Boot
Switches
By default, boot switches are configured
to boot from SD2. If any other boot
source is desired, boot switches have
to be configured according to Table 1.
3Connect USB to
UART Cable
Connect from USB to UART port (J26)
using a micro USB cable to PC. Once
the PC recognizes the virtual USB to
UART device, it can be seen it in your
PC Device Manager list.
Serial port configuration: 115.2 Kbaud,
8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
Note: The PC needs a driver to enable
a virtual COM port through the PC USB
port.
Visit ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp.htm to
download the correct driver.
4Connect EPDC or
Parallel Display
Connect by means of the
IMXEBOOKDC3-E board, which has to
be connected to J12 and J13. For more
information about this board, please visit
www.nxp.com.
5Connect
Power Display
Connect 5 V power supply into power jack
J6 and set SW14 to the On position.

The Android BSP is provided on two different SD cards, depending upon the display
daughter card used.
LCD/HDMI SD CARD FOR BOOTING ANDROID
The default boot mode configures the system to display the UI on the MCIMX28LCD
(sold separately).
To change the default configuration and enable the MCIMXHDMICARD daughter
card (sold separately), hit any key to stop u-boot from proceeding. Once prompt is
visible, the u-boot can be configured as follows:
For LCD boot up, type the following commands (as one line):
setenv bootargs console=ttymxc0,115200 init=/initandroidboot.console=ttymxc0
panel=lcdsaveenvreset
For HDMI boot up, type the following commands (as one line):
setenv bootargs console=ttymxc0,115200 init=/initandroidboot.console=ttymxc0
panel=hdmisaveenvreset
EPDC SD CARD FOR BOOTING ANDROID
The default settings should be used and no change is needed.
