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 preinstalled bootloader, Linux kernel and demo filesystem. Several ways of controlling boards 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:

Using External Monitor and USB Keyboard

Recommended HW:


Important: External monitor must support at least one of the following resolutions: 640x480px, 800x480px, 800x600px, 1024x720px, 1280x800px or 1600x1200px.

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:

  • Modules are shipped with empty root password
  • IP address is dynamic by default and setup by the DHCP server upon boot
  • SSH, SFTP services require root password to be set up (using passwd command)
  • FTP, SFTP are recommended only for data transfer (binary mode selection is advised)
