Getting Started#

Starting Neutrino#

Step 1: Build the BSP
You can build a BSP OS image from the source code or the binary components contained in a BSP package.

For instructions about building a BSP OS image, please refer to the chapter Working with a BSP in the Building Embedded Systems manual.

Note: This BSP will build a default OS image for the Freescale Media5200 board. If you need to build an OS image for the Freescale Lite5200B, you need to change the buildfile. The buildfile has commented-out sections for the Lite5200B. Simply uncomment them and comment out the Media5200 sections.

Step 2: Connect your hardware

1. Setup the board. Refer to the manual for the correct default jumper settings to use.
2. Connect one end of the serial NULL-modem cable to the J3 serial port.
3. Connect the other end of the serial NULL-modem cable to the first available serial port of your host machine (e.g. ser1 on a Neutrino host).
4. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to J6 (100/10 Mbit Ethernet RJ-45 connector).
5. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet network where a TFTP server (which you'll use to transfer the boot image) exists.

On your host machine, start your favourite terminal program with these settings:

• Baud: 115200
• Bits: 8
• Stop bits: 1
• Parity: none

Then, apply power to the target board.

You should see output similar to the following if you are using the Lite5200B or Media5200:

U-Boot 1.1.3 (Jul 11 2005 - 16:46:38)

Step 3: Setup the environment

1. At the U-boot prompt, issue the following command to view the current environment:
   printenv
2. Set the baud rate and follow the instructions:
   setenv baudrate 115200
3. Set the local IP address (replace x.x.x.x with the desired IP address):
   setenv ipaddr x.x.x.x
4. Set the IP address for your host TFTP server (replace x.x.x.x with the desired IP address):
   setenv serverip x.x.x.x
5. Set the gateway address (replace x.x.x.x with the desired IP address):
   setenv gatewayip x.x.x.x
6. Specify the image or fullpath to the OS image (on the host machine):
   setenv bootfile /full_path_to_image/image.raw
7. Once the above setup is complete, save the environment to the onboard EEPROM:
   saveenv
8. Copy the image from your host to the target:
   tftpboot loadaddr
   At this point you should see the ROM monitor download the boot image, indicated by a series of dots.
9. Type:
   go loadaddr
