3Insert the microSD card to the SD
slot.
4On the host computer, open a serial
port terminal (like Tera Term or
Hyperterminal for Windows®OS and
minicom for Linux™ OS) and select
the connection to the USB serial port.
5Set the baud rate to 115200, 8-bit
data, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow
control. Note: To do this in Tera Term,
go to Setup -> Serial port and set the
Baud rate as 115200 from the drop-
down menu.
7Connect the power cord and supply.
8Connect power to the board and
electric outlet.
9Once the board is powered, you
should see U-Boot messages on the
serial console window. U-Boot will
pause for a few seconds before boot-
ing Linux™ to give you the opportu-
nity to stop and modify the booting
process. The above screen shows a
TeraTerm serial console at this U-Boot
pause phase. Hitting enter at this
point will stop the booting process.
If you do not hit enter, U-Boot will
proceed with booting Linux.
10 Once booting continues, the serial
console will display additional
start-up messages until a Linux
login prompt is shown. At this
point, Linux is up and running with
a complete file system loaded from
the SD card and you are ready to
begin developing.
