On this page, you will find all the useful information 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 module to your development/docking board (custom one or ARMadeus Systems official one) (your system will be hereafter referred to as "the Target")
- On APF9328Dev/APF27Dev/PPS: connect your PC (= "the Host") to your board with a null-modem RS-232 cable (only Rx/Tx/Gnd signals are needed). If you don't have a RS-232 port on your Host, you can use a "USB <-> serial" converter (you'll still need the null-modem cable).
- On APF51Dev/APF28Dev: connect your PC (= "the Host") to your board with a USB to miniUSB cable. On the APF use the "Debug" connector (between HDMI and USB Host ones)
- Install (minimum) tools to communicate with your APF from your Host.
- Connect the power supply to your development board. (See the Datasheet of your *Dev board for more informations)
- Verify your system is booting and starting Linux (In U-Boot console, type "boot" if bootdelay is too long). Several information will be displayed on your terminal like on this screenshot (Default Linux login is "root" with an empty password). If your system is NOT starting, walk through this small checklist.
- If Linux has successfully started, your system is operational. If you want to add applications to your board or develop custom ones, then you can proceed with the Toolchain installation. See Build and update your system.
Tutorial
If you want a more "userfriendly" procedure, you can try this (under construction) tutorial: Beginner's_tutorial
Build and update your system
- Embedded Linux system basis
- Install the development environment (=Toolchain) for your board and generate your Linux/rootfs images
- Install/flash your U-Boot, Linux and rootfs freshly generated images on your board
- Customize your Armadeus SDK

Note: When board is chipped, by default factory binaries are flashed on it. It can be an old version of armadeus BSP. It's important to update all files with following commands on uboot:
BIOS> run update_uboot BIOS> run flash_reset_env Then reset the board, then : BIOS> run update_kernel BIOS> run update_rootfs |
