=== Q: Can you suggest some guidelines for the carrier board design? ===
'''A''': As a starting point, you can refer to the Wiki page dedicated to the [[Carrier_board_design_guidelines_%28SOM%29]], that will highlight some best practices that applies to all SOMs. For specific information on Bora, please refer to the Bora Integration Guide [[Integration_guide_%28Bora%29]]

=== Q: I've received the BELK package. How am I supposed to start working with it? ===
'''A''': You can follow the steps listed below:
# Check the kit contents with the packing list included in the box
# Insert the SD into the card slot on the carrier board
# Connect the power supply adapter and the serial cable
# Start your terminal emulator program
# Switch on the power supply
# Monitor the boot process on the serial console
# Install and configure the development environment as described in the BELK Quick Start Guide.
=== Q: How can I update the BELK version? ===
'''A''': All BELK source trees (FPGA project, U-Boot and Linux kernel) are provided as git repositories. This means that these components can be kept in sync and up to date with DAVE's repositories.
Once the a git account is enabled, the developer can clone the repository and synchronize a source tree using git commands. For further details, please refer to section 3.3.3.5 of the BELK Quick Start Guide.
=== How can I configure the Bora system to boot from network? ===
'''A''': Booting from network is very helpful during the software development (both for kernel and applications). The kernel image is downloaded via TFTP while the root file system is remotely mounted via NFS from the host. It is assumed that the development host:
* is connected with the target host board through an Ethernet LAN
* exports the directory containing the root file system for the target through the NFS server
* runs a TFTP server.
* has a proper subnet IP address
For detailed information, please refer to [[Booting_Linux_Kernel#Configuration_net_nfs | Configuration net_nfs]]
