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 U-Boot command shell. In this guide, commands to be typed in the U-Boot shell are indicated by an

EVM # prompt.
