Introduction[edit | edit source]

Dacu is an ARM Cortex-A8 industrial tablet platform, built around a carrier board hosting the Lizard CPU module

The following picture shows block diagram of Dacu:

Quick start[edit | edit source]

This section describes how to quick start Dacu system.


"Full control" mode[edit | edit source]

  1. connect the serial cable, provided with the board, to J3 pin-strip connector
  2. connect this cable to PC COM port through a NULL-modem cable (not provided)
  3. start your favourite terminal software on PC; communication parameters are:
    • baud rate: 115200 Bps
    • data bits: 8
    • stop bits: 1
    • parity: none
  4. connect the system to Ethernet LAN (RJ45 connector, J6)
  5. connect a 12Vcc power supply to to the power jack (JP2)

Once power has been applied, U-Boot bootloader will be executed and the following messages will be printed on serial console:

U-Boot 2009.11-00074-g34e0d5b-dirty (Jul 17 2012 - 11:00:55) [dacu-android-0.9.2]

Once the boot process has completed, you'll get the default Android "desktop":

Android default lock screen

Moreover, you'll have immediate access to the Android shell, so you can use the shell commands to interact with the system and see the output messages on the console. Using the serial console doesn't prevent you from using also the adb tool to access the system.

"Normal" mode[edit | edit source]

  1. connect the system to Ethernet LAN (RJ45 connector, J6)
  2. connect a 12Vcc power supply to to the power jack (JP2)

Once power has been applied, the system will boot loading the software components from the internal flash. Once the boot process has completed, you'll get the default Android "desktop":

You can now access the system using adb.
