5.2 BOOTP Server Setup
1. Set up a BOOTP server as per instructions of the server software provider.
2. Create a directory to contain the files that will be passed on to the module and place the manufacturing
image files there.
3. Configure the BOOTP server so that it serves the u-boot-uartboot.bin file to the BOOTP client modules.
4. The IP address of the BOOTP/TFTP server must be set to 192.168.0.6, and the netmask needs to be
set to 255.255.0.0.
If the IP address of the server is different than 192.168.0.6, then a secondary IP address can be
created to accommodate the requirement, using the command
ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.0.6 netmask 255.255.0.0
5.3 Wiring setup
1. Connect a media player set-top-box “A” to the TV monitor using a HDMI cable. Configure the player to
output 1080p60 (if using Brite-View player set output to HDMI Auto) and set it to playback a video file in
a continuous loop. Do not use a Blu-Ray player as a source for the HDMI input of the APP-41.
2. Once the player is running remove the cable from the TV monitor and connect it to HDMI input 1 of the
Z3-DM8168-APP-41 board.
3. Connect a second HDMI source to the HDMI input of the TV monitor using a HDMI cable. Configure
the player to output 1080p60 (if using Brite-View player set output to HDMI Auto) and set it to playback
a video file in a continuous loop. Do not use a Blu-Ray player as a source for the HDMI input of the
APP-41.
4. Once the player is running remove the cable from the TV monitor and connect it to HDMI input 2 of the
Z3-DM8168-APP-41 board.
5. Connect the network cable to the RJ-45 jack on the Z3-DM8168-APP-41 board. It is possible to
connect the Z3 board directly to the BOOTP server if so desired. If there are switches or hubs between
the module and the server, make sure that they allow BOOTP packets through.
6. Connect a serial terminal to the serial port jack on the Z3-DM8168-APP-41.
7. Configure the terminal with 115200 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and no flow control. Since the
functional test takes advantage of ANSI escape codes, using the Teraterm terminal program is highly
recommended.
8. Apply power to the DM8168-APP-41.
