Installation and Configuration
The M54455EVB comes pre-programmed with U-Boot and Linux pre-configured to run a demo
application. This section describes how to setup the evaluation board to access the bootloader to start
Linux.
The default communication interface with the M54455EVB is a simple serial port console. A terminal
emulator on a host PC and the supplied serial cable is required to interact with the serial port. Alternately,
a USB cable can be used if the USB serial port is configured for use (refer to
for details).
The basic installation steps are as follows:
1. Plug in the case’s power supply with the power cable provided.
2. Connect one end of the provided serial cable to the DB9 serial port connector labelled UART0
(Refer to
).
3. Connect the other end of the serial cable to a free DB9 serial port connector on a host PC.
4. Open the terminal emulator of your choice (e.g. HyperTerminal, Tera Term, minicom, etc.).
