= Setting up your host PC =
# Connect the RS-232 cable (included with the evaluation kit) between the SBC  connector '''P8''' and a free RS-232 port on your host PC.
# Identify the host PC interface and port you will be using for communication with the SBC:
#* For Linux hosts, the serial port in most cases would be called like one of the following (where n is a positive integer): /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1 ... /dev/ttySn
#* For Windows Hosts, the serial port in most cases would be called like one of the following (where n is a positive integer): COM1, COM2 ... COMn
# Start a terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal on Windows or minicom on Linux).
# Within the terminal emulation program, in the serial port configuration section select the port identified in previous step.
# Within the terminal emulation program, in the serial port configuration section, set the  following serial port parameters:
#* '''Baud Rate:''' 115200
#* '''Data Bits:''' 8
#* '''Stop Bits:''' 1
#* '''Parity:''' none
#* '''Flow Control:''' none

= Setting up the Compulab SBC =
# Make sure  '''DS3''' LED is '''OFF''' while  '''DS2''' LED is '''ON'''. If this is not the case, populate jumper  '''E3'''.
# Start the system by enabling power through the  main DC power connector.
# Console messages should appear on your host PC through the terminal emulation program.
