Connecting to a Console Window
2.2Connecting to a Console Window
You can open a console window that allows you to watch and interrupt
EVM boot messages by following these steps:
1)Connect a serial cable between the serial port on the EVM and the serial port (for example, COM1) on a PC.
2)Run a terminal session (such as Minicom on Linux or HyperTerminal on Windows) on the workstation and configure it to connect to that serial port with the following characteristics:
■Bits per Second: 115200
■Data Bits: 8
■Parity: None
■Stop Bits: 1
■Flow Control: None
3)When you power on the EVM, you will see boot sequence messages. You can press a key to interrupt the boot sequence and type commands in the
EVM # prompt.
