X15 QUICK START GUIDE

TESTING

DEBUG

:

The Serial debug port on the processor is UART3 via a single 1x6 pin header. In order to use the interface a USB to
TTL adapter will be required. The header is compatible with the one provided by FTDI and can be purchased from
various sources. Signals supported are TX and RX. None of the handshake signals are supported. On the PC you will
see activity that will take you to login prompt.

A few seconds after the board power is turned on, the image in eMMC will boot and the Debian desktop will soon
show up on the HDMI monitor.
