Chapter 1

Linux Booting on the MA27

1.1 Introduction

This guide describes how to boot the HPS on the board using the Micro SD Card with Linux image,

and use the UART interface to allow the Host PC to communicate with the HPS of the board.

1.2 Required Hardware

To boot Linux on the board, the following hardware is required:

MA27 board

Micro USB Cable

Micro SD Card (At least 4GB capacity )

1.3 Install the MicroSD Card

This section will show you how to how to install it into the Board. In addition, if user want to recover

the factory image file to the MicroSD Card. It will show how to download the Linux image file for

the Board and how to write it into the MicroSD Card.

Install the MicroSD Card to the Board

The Board will be shipped with a MicroSD card that has been written with Linux image. Users can

install the Micro SD Card on the board by referring to Figure 1-1.

Download the programming tool

To program a MicroSD card Linux image you can use a free tool such as Rufus.

Program the MicroSD Card

The SD card image file needs to be programmed to a MicroSD card before it can be used.

The steps below present how to create MicroSD card on a windows machine using

Win32DiskImager.exe.

1. Connect the MicroSD card to a Windows PC

2. Execute Rufus

3. Select the image file for MicroSD card

4. Select the MicroSD card device

5. Click “START” to start writing the image file to the MicroSD card. Wait until the image is

successfully written.

1.5 Power On the Board

To power up the Board in stand-alone mode, user need to connect a 2x4 PCIe power connector on

the Board to the external 12V DC power supply, then turn on the power switch SW2 on the board to

power on the board (See Figure 1-5).

1.6 Setting Up UART Terminal

This section presents how to install the drivers for the USB to UART chip on the Board and how to

set up the UART terminal on your Host PC. The Board communicates with the PC through the Micro

USB connector. You should install the USB to UART driver and configure the UART terminal before

you run Linux on the board.

Installing the Driver

1. Connect your computer to the development board by plugging the USB cable into the

micro USB connector of the board. (Connection setup is shown in Figure 1-5 )

2. Please refer to the section 3.1 (Install driver for CP2105) of the User Manual to install

the USB to UART driver for HPS fabric.

Configure UART terminal UART terminal spec

115200 baud rate

no parity

1 stop bit

no flow control settings

The following steps show how to configure a PuTTY terminal window (can be downloaded from the

link: http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe)

1. Open the “Device Manager” on your windows and check the “Port(COM&LPT)” tab. User

may find the Silcon UART device CP2105 on the list. Find the COM number of “Enhanced

COM port”. It represents the HPS UART Port. See Figure 1-7, the COM number of this

Host is COM9. Note that the “COM9”on the Serial Line column needs to be modified

according to the actual com port on the user's computer.

2. Open putty.exe, click Serial go to a serial configure interface.

3. Configure the window like the flowing picture and click “save” button to save the setting

and click “Open”to open the terminal window. Note that the “COM9”on the Serial Line

column needs to be modified according to the actual com port on the user's computer.
