S32G-VNP-RDB Set Up
To set up S32G-VNP-RDB follow these steps:
1. Download and Install the terminal emulator, if not installed already.
About the terminal tool, you can choose any one which is familiar for you, such as Tera Term, Putty and so on.
2. Download and Install the FT232R USB-to-UART driver, if not installed already. Go to FT232R USB-to-UART driver
link .Scroll down and select correct version. Follow the installation guides to install the driver.
3. Plug the SD card in the J3 slot. The SD card has pre-loaded Linux BSP image which runs on Cortex-A53 cores.
4. Connect UART0 cable and open terminal console. Select the corresponding COM port which can be found in “Device
Manager” of the PC and set 115200 as the baud rate.
5. Connect the power supply and J5 cable. Open the switch of power switch board, the running logs will appear in the console
as shown below.
NOTE
For more information on S32G boot, such as other boot mode, building project, making image and so on, refer to
S32G-VNP-RDB Reference Manual and S32G-VNP-RDB Software Enablement Guide.
