1.2 Set Up Guide
This short guide leads you through the first steps to start exploring your Avenger96.
In the box you can find the Avenger96 which comes with a pre-installed linux on its eMMC storage as well as a
bootloader installed on the NOR-Flash. Unfortunately, the c urrent version of the SoC can’t boot directly from
the eMMC. In order to start the Avenger96 then, all you have to do is select the BOOT- Mode “NOR - Flash” , which
loads the bootloader first. Once the bootloader is running, it starts up linux from the eMMC. This way you can
make use of the eMMC as a storage for your operating system.
1.2.1 Easy step by step guide
The board can be put in operation by following steps:
•
Make sure the boot switch is set to boot from the “ NOR-Flash ” (See chapter 1.2.2)
•
Connect a display via the HDMI-connector
•
Connect keyboard and mouse to the host USB ports
•
Connect a proper power supply (See chapter 1.2.3)
•
Plug the power supply into the power socket
1.2.2 Boot Mode
The Avenger96 supports multiple boot options which are selected by the DIP-
switch S3. To select a logical “1” a switch needs to be pushed to the right.
Therefore a logical “0” is set by pushing the switch to the left. The numera-
tion of these pins is printed next to the switch on the circuit board.
