Heatsink may become hot during operation. You are recommended not to touch it.
CAUTION
3. Ensure that the jumpers on the board have default settings (see
Jumpers
).
4. Connect the board to the external power supply using the 12 V AC-DC power adapter. The board gets powered ON and
starts booting. The ASLEEP LED (D2) turns ON and turns OFF immediately, indicating that correct RCW has been
loaded.
5. Connect one end (Type A) of the USB Type A to micro-B cable to the USB port of the host computer and other end
(micro-B) to UART1 (Micro USB) port on the chassis front panel. The host computer will detect the USB device.
6. Set up Tera Term on the host computer:
a. Start Tera Term. The Tera Term console appears along with the Tera Term: New connection dialog.
b. On the Tera Term: New connection dialog, select the Serial option, and ensure that Silicon Labs CP210x USB to
UART Bridge is selected in the Port menu.
c. Click OK to close the Tera Term: New connection dialog.
d. Choose Setup > Serial port from the Tera Term console menu bar. The Tera Term: Serial port setup dialog
appears.
e. On the Tera Term: Serial port setup dialog, configure the serial port of the host computer with the following
settings:
• Baud rate: 115200
• Data: 8 bit
• Parity: none
• Stop: 1 bit
• Flow control: none
f. Click OK to close the Tera Term: Serial port setup dialog and complete setting up Tera Term. This configuration
sets a console connection between the board and the host computer.
7. Optionally, connect an Ethernet cable if you want to connect your board to the network, for example, for obtaining latest
board software and updating board images.
8. Optionally, connect the CodeWarrior TAP to the board by performing the following steps:
Follow the instructions included with the CodeWarrior package to set up the environment and host attachment,
such as USB and Ethernet.
NOTE
a. Connect the 10-pin micro adapter (CWH-CTP-CTX10-YE) to the CodeWarrior TAP.
b. Connect one end of the 10-wire cable (gray ribbon cable) to the 10-pin micro adapter (both ends of the wire are
keyed and can be connected on either side).
c. Connect other end of the 10-wire cable to the 10-pin Arm JTAG header (J15) on the board.
Pin 1 of the gray ribbon cable connector should align with pin 1 of the debug port header on the board.
NOTE
9. Press the reset button available on PCB (next to UART2/UART4 header) to reboot the board. The board boots up and
U-Boot log appears on the Tera Term console as given below:
NOTICE: Fixed DDR on board
NOTICE: 4 GB DDR4, 64-bit, CL=15, ECC on
NOTICE: BL2: v1.5(release):LX2160_UEFI_ACPI_EAR1-1-gbf83b558
