→Target setup and first boot
[[File:DIVELK-NOR.png|thumb|center|400px|NOR flash default partitioning]]
{{ImportantMessage|text=The DIVELK bootable microSD card delivered along with the kit is set up to do a full bootstrap sequence. For more details, please refer to [[Working_with_the_Yocto_build_system#bootscript|this section]].}}
By default, U-Boot is configured to retrieve Linux kernel image stored in the microSD card [1]. In turn, Linux kernel shall mount root file system from the <code>mmcblk0p2</code> partition of the [[#DIVELK microSD Layout|microSD card itself]]. At the end of boot process, Linux shell shall be available on the serial console.
===Target configuration for the development stage (<code>net_nfs</code>)===
{{ImportantMessage|text=The default DIVELK Virtual Machine network configuration is using NAT: this allows to accessing external network (i.e. Internet) using the host computer's networking connection.
For software development using <code>net_nfs</code> with tftp/nfs protocols, please configure your VM network interface in ''Bridge mode'' (see below)}}
During the development stage, the target is usually connected via Ethernet LAN to the host machine and is configured to:
*retrieve binary images (i.e. Linux kernel) via TFTP protocol
*mount the development root file system via NFS protocol. This root file system is physically in the file system of the host machine as depicted [[Deploying_Embedded_Linux_Systems#The_development_environment|here]].An example of ''Bridge mode'' configuration for DIVELK can be found [[Booting_the_system_via_NFS_(DIVELK) | here]]
In DAVE Embedded Systems development kits, this configuration is generally denoted as <code>net_nfs</code>. U-Boot bootloader supports this configuration. Some U-Boot environment variables are needed to set it up. They are detailed [[Booting_Linux_Kernel#Configuration_net_nfs|here]].
For more details about TFTP and NFS servers on host side, please refer to this [[Setting_up_tftp_and_nfs|page]].
===Target configuration for standalone boot===
Please refer to [[Standalone_boot_(DIVELK)|this page]].
