NaonEVB-Lite

Info Box Applies to Naon Applies to DDS

Introduction

The following picture shows block diagram of DDS carrier board.

Quick start

1. connect the serial cable, provided with the board, to J25
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. (optional) to connect the system to Ethernet LAN, please plug cable on connector J3
5. (optional) to connect the system to HDMI TV/LCD, please plug cable on connector J21
6. connect a 12Vcc power supply to JP1

Once power has been applied, U-Boot bootloader will be executed and the following messages will be printed on serial console (please note that messages may vary due different U-Boot releases)

NAON#

These messages are printed by U-Boot, which has a serial console that allow basic interaction with the system. For more information about U-Boot see it category

At the end of its boot sequence U-Boot print NAON# prompt and wait for user command.

It user has the SD/MMC provided with the development kit, he/she can run the following command

run spi_mmc

To start Linux (from on-board SPI NOR flash) and mount the development root file system (over SD/MMC)

TBD

Once Linux complete its boot process, you should see, on HDMI output, the Dave sample demo running.
