Quick Start Guide

Here is a step by step guide to boot up your SMARC:

a. By default, the (Android) or (Linux OS) has been preloaded in the eMMC, (or SD card)

of the SMARC demo kit. All you have to do is

 - Connect your SMARC with TV/LCD by using an HDMI cable,  - Or connect your LVDS panel by using LVDS cable if you have them  - Connect the device with 12V power input directly.

b. To make a recovery SD card, please refer to Chapter 2. c. To use the root/ serial port debug function, please check Chepter3.2.1 (COM1 debug

cable setup) information.

d. To boot up with an installed LVDS panel, please refer to Chapter 3.

Note: different LVDS panel will has different customization, please check with your sales.

e. For advanced users who would be building their own products, please refer to

Chapter 3~5.

f. For special requests or assistance, please contact IBASE Sales.

1. Introduction

1.1. IBASE SMARC Starter Kit

SMARC (‘Smart Mobility ARChitecture’) is a specification published by the

Standardization Group for Embedded Technologies e.V. (SGET) for Computer-on-Modules (COMs). SMARC Computer-on-Modules are specifically designed for the development of compact low-power systems. Generally, SMARC modules are based on ARM processors and other low-power SoC architectures.

Measuring 82mm x 50mm, the Ibase RM-F600-SMC SMARC module is integrated with an i.MX6 Dual Lite 1Ghz extended consumer-grade CPU that supports 2D/3D graphic acceleration and 1080p encode/ decode under Linux/Android BSP to allow easy OS upgrade and short time to market.

Measuring 170mm x 170mm (Mini ITX form factor), the Ibase RP-100-SMC carrier board is compatible with 82mm x 50mm - 82mm x 80mm standard SMARC form factors. Engineers can choose the required embedded IOs to verify developed software application under specified Operation System. Besides setting the default HDMI output with O.S preload in RM-F600-SMC eMMC, IBASE can optionally provide driver-ready 3G module, WIFI module, touch panel, cable kit, power adaptor and accessories to speed up the evaluation cycle.

1.6. Installing the SMARC

The MXM3.0 connector on RP-100-SMC supports the SMARC form factor (82mm x 50mm and 82mm x 70mm).

To install SMARC modules to the MXM slot on the board, please perform the following steps:

 Hold the SMARC module so that the golden fingers of the SMARC module

aligned with the MXM connector.

 Gently push the SMARC module to the MXM connector in 45 degree angle

position until the golden finger of SMARC completely touch the bottom of the slot.

 Gently press the SMARC module down and fix it with four screws.

3. Software Setup

Users who has Ibase standard image file can refer to this chapter to prepare your own boot-up SD card. Ibase provides HDMI / LVDS output environment by default to let you prepare the software application pre-development easily under Linux / Android platform.

3.1. Make a Recovery SD Card

Preparing your Recovery SD card help to install the Linux/ Android image into eMMC

Please download the Recovery SD card’s image by FTP in advance.

Host: 219.87.145.180 port: 21

User: bsp

Password: (please check with your sales)

Image path:

/bsp/RISC_IMAGE/F600/F600-DL/Android/4.3/F600-DL_Android_4.3_1.1.img.rar

(based on Freescale BSP: L3.3.35.4.1.0)

For example:

SMARC Evaluation Kit

In order to use the evaluation kit, you will need to install an Operating System (OS) onto onboard eMMC by recovery SD card. An Operating System is the set of basic programs and utilities that allow your computer to run.

These instructions will guide you through installing a recovery program on your SD card that will allow you to easily install different OS’s and to recover your card when needed.

1. Insert an SD card that is 4GB or greater in size into your computer

2. Format the SD card

i. Download the SD Association's Formatting Tool (SD Card Formatter 4.0 ) from

https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_windows/

ii. Install and run the Formatting Tool on your machine iii. Set "FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT" option to "ON" in the "Options" menu iv. Check that the SD card you inserted matches the one selected by the Tool v. Click the “Format” button

3. Download the target operating system image from the DVD/ or FTP

(Descripted in previous page)

4. Download the Win32DiskImager from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/ and use it to restore the target operating system.

And then, flash the Android/ Linux image into your SD card in your PC (Windows).

6. Please check the DIP switch and make sure it can boot from SD Card. (See 2.3 Boot on the SMARC starter kit )

3.2. Boot on the SMARC starter kit

Please double check the Boot device selection before power on.

SW3: Boot Select

Note: 1: Switch On ; 0: Switch Off

1. 7. Insert the SD card/MicroSD into motherboard, make sure the HDMI panel is

connected, and connect the power supply to boot up the system.

2. 8. Recovery program on your SD card will execute automatically. The eMMC on

SMARC will be format, and OS will be installed while the progress bar shows 100% complete.

3. 9. Remove the power, and the recovery SD. Remember to set the boot source

from module eMMC.

4. Connect the power and boot up SMARC, you will see the Linux/ Android boot up

pages.

SMARC Evaluation Kit

3.3. Parameter Setting on U-boot

We provide HDMI output and (10.1 “ Onation LVDS Panel output command example) for SMARC starter kit. If you have any other LVDS/ TTL panel need to be customized, please contact Ibase sales or FAE staff.

3.3.1. Preparation (debug console)

i. We set the COM1 (Tx1, Rx1) as default debug port, please double check it can be

connect to (RX, Tx) of your PC environment.

ii. set 115200 bps (8n1, no flow control) in Windows terminal ( for example

Putty.exe)

iii. When booting the system, you can press “Enter” to stop auto boot and modify

your environment.

(Note: Users who are not sure the COM connection, please double check your

SMARC.COM1.Tx1 connect to PC.COM.Rx ; SMARC.COM1.Rx1 to PC.COM.Tx)

Note:

The COM1 is map to ttymxc0 device node under Linux& android.

The COM2 is map to ttymxc1 device node under Linux& android.

The COM5 is map to ttymxc4 device node under Linux& android.
