This page is intended to show the necessary connections and steps to successfully boot and operate the development kit.
Connecting the board
Prepare base board and plug in (bootable) microSD card, TTL-232R-3V3 FTDI cable, Ethernet cable, HDMI cable and other devices or interfaces you need. Plug the power supply connector in.
Serial console connection
iMX6 TinyRex Development board uses USB to serial cable to control it by default.
IMPORTANT! Be careful when connecting TTL-232R FTDI cable to the base board. Check if the cable conductor 1 (black wire) is connected to Pin 1 (Header connector J10 – TTL-232R FTDI) on the base board.
Default booting selection
To boot from microSD Card, make sure that BOOT_MODE jumper (located next to the serial console header) is not present.
