===Target setup and first boot===

This section describes how to quick start the AxelEVB board delivered along with XELK kit (see also the following image). The hardware setup is the same for AxelUltra and AxelLite SOMs.

The picture below shows the AxelLite SOM inserted into the AxelEVB: please note the first HW release of {{oldid|3287|AxelEVB-Lite}}[[File:AxelLite-AxelEVB.jpg|thumb|center|600px|Axel Lite SOM / (first) AxelEVB setup]] The picture below shows the AxelUltra SOM inserted into the AxelEVB: please note the new HW release of [[AxelEVB-Lite]][[File:AxelUltra-AxelEVB.jpg|thumb|center|600px|Axel UltraSOM /(latest) AxelEVB setup]]

The microSD provided with the XELK can be used to boot the system, since it contains a bootable partition (<code>mmcblk0p1</code>) and a root file system partition (<code>mmcblk0p2</code>).

#Insert the MicroSD card provided with the development kit into the microSD slot

#Connect the 12V power supply to the JP2 socket on the DACU board

#(optional) To access the serial console:

#*Connect a serial cable ~~between the J251 connector on the DACU board and PC COM port through~~ , using a null-modem cable (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_modem) ~~cable (~~''not provided'', between #** the J251 connector on the DACU board and PC COM port - for the latest AxelEVB-Lite HW version (see picture above)#** the J28 connector on the AxelEVB-Lite and PC COM port - for the first AxelEVB-Lite HW version (see picture above)

#*Start your favorite terminal software on hist side; communication parameters are:

#**Baud rate: 115200 Bps

===Binary images on SD card===

{{ImportantMessage|text=The XELK SD bootable microSD card ~~contains all binary images required for booting~~ delivered along with the ~~system completely from kernel/dtb (stored on first SD <code>fat</code> card partition)~~ kit is set up to do a full bootstrap sequence. For more details, please refer to ~~<code>ext3</code> root file system (stored on second SD card partition)~~[[Working_with_the_Yocto_build_system#bootscript|this section]].}}

Once you got the new binaries compiled from your modified sources, they have to be installed on first SD partition preserving the original file names used into boot.scr u-boot bootscript.
