Step 2: Experiencing the Out Of Box (OOB)
demonstration to ensure the EVM hardware is
functional
1.
To turn on the EVM, move the SW2 switch to the ‘ON’ position, as shown in Step 1, #9 above.
2.
Within seconds, you should see the linux uboot and kernel boot log on the PC terminal application
you setup in Step 1, #6 above.
3.
When the boot completed, type “root” at the prompt to login and have access to the linux
filesystem.
Step 3: Download and install Processor SDK
(software development kit)
Processor SDK RTOS (PSDK RTOS)
and
Processor SDK Linux (PSDK Linux)
together form a
multi-processor software development platform for the Texas Instruments Jacinto 7 family of SOCs.
The SDK provides a comprehensive set of software tools and components to help users develop and
deploy their applications on supported Jacinto processors.
Processor SDK installation instructions are available online:
