Booting up the MLSoC Evaluation Board

In this section we will set up the host system to communicate with the MLSoC Evaluation Board using the appropriate serial port.

Steps

  1. Power up the board using the Power Brick (GaN 100W 3-Port Fast Charger) and Type-C to Type C Data (Power) Cable.

  2. Using USB-A to Micro USB cable, connect the Micro USB end of the cable to the board’s UART port (marked 2) and the USB-A end of the cable to your host machine.

  3. By using a serial device connector like minicom in Linux or MacOS or Putty in Windows, connect to the board using a speed of 115200 baud rate, 8 data bits, no parity bits, 1 stop bit and no flow control. See Initial Board Setup for details.

  4. You should get the following:

    sima-user@sima-user-machine:~$ sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB2 -b 115200, 8n1 -w
    Welcome to minicom 2.8

    OPTIONS: I18n
    Port /dev/ttyUSB2, 15:56:28
