Caution:
This board contains electrostatic-sensitive devices
The EVALSP1310CPU board is shipped in protective anti-static packaging. Do not submit
the board to high electrostatic potentials, and follow good practices for working with static
sensitive devices.
●
Wear an anti-static wristband. Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can help to
prevent ESD from damaging the board.
●
Zero potential. Always touch a grounded conducting material before handling the
board, and periodically while handling it.
●
Use an anti-static mat. When configuring the board, place it on an anti-static mat to
reduce the possibility of ESD damage.
●
Handle only the edges. Handle the board by its edges only, and avoid touching board
components.
3.1 Connecting
1.
Connect a serial cable adapter (RS232 on J16) to a host PC (see Primary Serial cable
setting).
2.
On a host PC running Windows or Linux, start the Terminal program.
3.
Connect the AC adapter to a power outlet.
4.
Power on the board (plug the AC adapter jack into J12). A sequence of boot messages
displays, followed by the Linux console prompt.
Software user manuals are available on request; contact your local ST representative.
3.2 Booting
The EVALSP1310CPU board can boot a Linux kernel pre-installed in the serial NOR Flash.
At power on, the serial port outputs a brief header message with some uBoot information
(uBoot version, SDK version, and some internal hardware information). At this point, you
can choose to:
●
Stop the system directly in uBoot
To do this, press the spacebar on the host computer keyboard before the boot delay
time expires (default is 3 seconds).
●
Boot Linux
The system logs you in automatically as super user, and the Linux shell prompt
displays on the screen.
3.3 Serial
interface
A serial interface, which can typically be used to connect an operating system monitor
console, is available on the J16 connector.
