1 Introduction

The new TWR-LS1021A-PB development board is the most

feature rich and high performance Tower system module

offered by Freescale. This board enables compatibility and

interoperability with other tower expansion modules. It

provides an easily accessible and interchangeable suite of

capabilities and features to support rapid prototyping and

software development. The TWR-LS1021A-PB board is

engineered to enable a wide range of applications, from IoT

Gateways to industrial controllers, Secure Access Points, and

asset management systems. The module offers a high level of

integration, excellent balance of performance-to-power, and

robust capability delivered by the QorIQ LS1021A

communications processor (which offers dual ARM Cortex-

A7 cores running at up to 1 GHz delivering over 5,000

Coremarks of performance at a typical power level of under 3

watts). This platform also provides a comprehensive level of

security, which includes secure boot, Trust Architecture, and

tamper detection, in both standby and active-power modes.

This document describes how you can run the out-of-box-

experience (OOBE) demo program, which shows the wireless

networking, graphics, and audio playing functionalities of the

TWR-LS1021A-PB board.

The access point features demo on LS1021A TWR platform is

illustrated in the figure below.

4 Preparing the system for the demo

For preparing the system for the demo, you should -

• Prepare the SD card

• Configure the TWR-LS1021A-PB board

4.1 Preparing SD card for demo

The image files for the demo are available on the SD card shipped with the board. You should insert the SD card into the

board to run the demo. However, if the SD card is not available or the image files have become corrupt, you need to prepare

an SD card for the demo. For detailed instructions on formatting and preparing the SD card for the demo, see Preparing SD

card for demo.

4.2 Configuring the board

To run the demos described in this guide, the SDK on the TWR-LS1021A-PB board must be re-flashed. If this has not been

done earlier, see Configuring the TWR-LS1021A board for detailed instructions on flashing the board.

However, if you have already flashed the board, proceed to the next section.

5 Setting up TWR-LS1021A-PB board

This section describes setting up the TWR-LS1021A-PB board, adding other hardware for the demos, and configuring the

board for the first time. This is a one-time activity that need not be done again for running any of the demos.

To set up the TWR-LS1021A-PB board:

1. Set the switch settings as described here (see the figure below for illustration).

• For NOR flash boot:

• Switch the SW3[5] to 0(bank0)

•SW2[1:8] 0x10001111, SW3[1:8] 0x01100001

• For SD card boot:

• Switch the SW3[1] to 0

• Set the SW2[1:8] to 0x00101111

•SW2[1:8] 0x00101111, SW3[1:8] 0x01100001

Appendix A Preparing SD card for demo

If you are using an SD card that was not shipped with the TWR-LS1021A-PB board, it should be formatted and prepared

before it can be used for the demo. To support booting the system from the SD card, instead of NOR flash, you should

preserve a given space at the beginning of SD card (for example 2 MB or 4 MB). On a Windows PC, you may use any third

party tool to partition the SD-card.

To prepare the SD card on a Linux PC:

1. Use the fdisk command to partition the SD card to a single W95 FAT32 partition, starting from sector 8192.

2. Run the mkfs.vfat command to format the above partition

3. Using the dd command and copy u-boot-with-spl-pbl.bin to the boot sector of the SD card.

NOTE

You can find the u-boot-with-spl-pbl.bin on the USB stick shipped with the

board

See an illustration of preparing the SD card on a Linux PC below:

$sudo fdisk/dev/sdb

Command (m for help): n

Partition type:

p primary (0 primary, 0 extended, 4 free)

e extended

Select (default p):

Using default response p

Partition number 1-4, default 1):

Using default value 1

First sector (2048-15523839, default 2048): 8192

Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G} (8192-15523839, default 15523839): +400M

Command (m for help): t

Selected partition 1

Hex code (type L to list codes): b

Changed system type of partition 1 to b (W95 FAT32)

Command (m for help): w

The partition table has been altered!

$sudo mkfs.vfat/dev/sdb1

$sudo dd if=u-boot-with-spl-pbl.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=512 seek=8

Insert the SD card in a Windows PC and copy all files under \OOBE-demo\SDcard\ folder of the USB stick to the root

directory of the SD card. The total size of this folder is less than 100 MB.

The figure below shows the files to be copied to the SD card.
