Getting Started

Interfacing the phyCORE-PXA255 to a Host-PC
Downloading a Linux kernel over the Ethernet from a Linux host-PC
to the phyCORE-PXA255/Development Board combination (also
referred to as target hardware) requires use of a terminal program,
such as Minicom or Komport, and the TFTP networking service
installed and activated.
•
Copy the folder Linux from the included Tools CD to the root of
your Linux machine.
•
Open your terminal program of choice.
•
Specify the correct serial interface settings for your system.
•
Configure the terminal program to 115200 baud, 8 data bits, no
parity, 1 stop bit, no hardware handshake.
•
Connect the included null modem cable from the serial port on
your host-PC to P1 on the Development Board.
•
Connect the RJ-45 socket at X23 on the Development Board to the
Linux-based host-PC using a cross-over Ethernet cable
•
Connect the included 12 VDC power adapter to the power socket
X1 on the Development Board. In the terminal window, you will
see U-Boot startup messages attempting to tftpboot over the
network once power is applied to the target hardware.
•
Hit any key to stop tftpboot autoboot, as the environment settings
for the target hardware must first be configured.

You may also use a straight Ethernet cable connected to a hub to establish network
connection between the phyCORE-PXA255 hardware and the host-PC.
