On this page, you will find all the useful information you need to configure your Armadeus board for optimum usage.

==First StartUp==
Just got your Armadeus board and want to start playing with it ? Follow these quick steps to setup your environment accordingly:
# Connect your APF to your development board (custom or [[APF9328DevLight|DevLight]]/[[APF9328DevFull|DevFull]]) (your system will be hereafter referred to as "the Target") --->> [[Image:Apf_on_devlight.png|40px]]
# Connect your PC (= "the Host") to your board with a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_modem null-modem RS232 cable] (only Rx/Tx/Gnd signals are needed). If you don't have a RS232 port on your Host, you can use a "USB <-> serial" converter (you'll still require the null-modem cable).
# [[Communicate | Install (minimum) tools to communicate with your APF from your Host.]]
# [[Development_boards_power_supply | Connect the power supply on your development board.]]
# Verify your system is booting by starting Linux: In U-Boot console, type "boot". Several informations will be displayed on your terminal like on this [[Linux start screenshot | screenshot ]] (Default Linux login is "root" with an empty password). '''IF NOT''', walk through [[U-Boot communication quick check|this small checklist]].
# If Linux has successfully started, your system is operational. If you want to add applications to your board or developp custom ones, then you can proceed with the Toolchain installation. [[Setup#Basics | See Basics below]].

==Basics for customizing your board==
# [[Toolchain| Install the development environment (=Toolchain) for your board and generate your Linux/rootfs images]]
# [[Target Software Installation| Install/flash your U-Boot, Linux and rootfs freshly generated images on your board]]
# [[Armadeus_3#How-to_develop_with_Armadeus_.2F_customize_your_SDK| Customize your Armadeus SDK]]

===How to add your position===
* go to http://maps.google.com/
* type in the name of your town and launch "Search Google Maps", for example:
[[Image:Google_maps_search.png]]
* right click on "Get URL of this page" and copy the URL
[[Image:Google_maps_url.png]]
* you should get something like that:
<pre>
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=fr&geocode=&q=besan%C3%A7on&ie=UTF8&ll=47.257796,6.025314&spn=0.216236,0.601501&z=11&iwloc=addr
</pre>
* the data between ''&ll='' and ''&spn'' are the needed one (latitude/longitude)
* extract them and copy them in the "Edit" of this wiki page. Add it you wiki name and your town. For example:
<pre>
<googlemap lat="47" lon="6" width=640 height=480 zoom=4>
...
Others coordinates
