This page guides though the first steps of controlling and operating the development kit. To prepare the working setup connect and plug in cables first.
The development kit is supplied with pre-installed bootloader, Linux kernel and demo filesystem. Several ways of controlling the board are available:
Controlling the Development Kit over Serial Line
Recommended HW:
- PC with serial port or USB to serial adapter
- Voipac i.MX53 SODIMM PC - Development kit
- Voipac serial cable
Recommended SW:
- Serial line terminal (PUTTY, Minicom, Ckermit, Hyperterminal, TeraTerm, ...)
Default serial port settings:
- Speed (baud): 115200
- Data bits: 8
- Stop bits: 1
- Parity: None
- Flow control: None
Controlling the development kit using TeraTerm:
600px
Using External Monitor and USB Keyboard
Recommended HW:
- Voipac i.MX53 SODIMM PC - Development kit
- multiple video options can be chosen:
- External monitor with DVI or VGA connector (DVI to VGA adapter is required in case of VGA monitor usage)
- TFT Display Data Image
- TFT Display Optrex
- TFT Display EDT set
- USB keyboard
Important: External monitor must support at least one of the following resolutions: 640x480px, 800x480px, 800x600px, 1024x720px, 1280x800px or 1600x1200px.
Controlling the development kit using external monitor and USB keyboard:
600px
Controlling the Development Kit over Ethernet
Recommended HW:
- PC with Ethernet
- Voipac i.MX53 SODIMM PC - Development kit
- Ethernet cable
Recommended SW:
- Telnet client (Telnet, PUTTY, …)
- SSH client (SSH,PUTTY, …)
- FTP client (FTP, Filezilla, BareFTP, …)
- SFTP client (Filezilla, PUTTY, WinSCP, …)
Important notes:
- Demo modules are shipped with empty root password
- The default IP address is dynamic and setup by your DHCP server upon boot
- SSH, SFTP services require root password to be set up (“passwd” command)
- FTP, SFTP are recommended only for data transfers (binary mode is recommended)
Controlling the development kit using PUTTY SSH client:
600px
Controlling the development kit using WinSCP:
600px
