BSC9131RDB Overview

This quick start guide provides instruction on the various 
resources required to get started with the BSC9131RDB 
hardware kit. The BSC9131RDB includes a number of different 
connectivity and debugging options for the various internal 
systems of the device. 

The BSC9131 device itself contains an e500 Power Architecture

core and an SC3850 StarCore DSP core. The complete system 
is controlled by the e500 core, which, by default, is set up to 
boot with u-boot and then run Linux with the user interfacing to 
u-boot/Linux via a terminal command prompt over the UART 
connector from the BSC9131RDB. Additional options of running 
code on the DSP will also be covered in this guide.
