Quick access in 10 minutes

Thanks to the easy operability of the boards the first Commissioning can be carried out very easily.

Connection and Configuration

1.) Three cables are provided to connect your ARM9 Board (see also diagramm).

a.) Connect the nullmodem cable to the serial RS232 of your development-PC and to the debug interface of the ARM9 board.
b.) Connect the Ethernet cross cable to the network connection of your PC (or to a switch/router) and to your ARM9 board.
c.) Connect the power supply unit to the ARM9 board.

2.) Create a configuration file on your development PC to enable communication between the PC and the ARM9 board:

sudo gedit /etc/minicom/minirc.arm9

Write following configuration values into the file:

# minicom configuration file for serial access to ARM9 board pr port /dev/ttyS0 pr baudrate 115200 pu bits 8 pu parity N pu stopbits 1 pu rtscts No pu xonxoff No

In doing so, ttyS0 is the first and ttyS1 is the second RS232 serial interface. In Windows they are labeled as COM1 and COM2.

3.) Now start the terminal program minicom in the shell:

minicom –c on –o arm9

Now you are ready to log in to the ARM9 board as root.
