        System Layout
        The following is the memory layout required for the board.
        Prepare a bootable microSD card
        You can prepare a bootable microSD card on a Linux or Windows host system. We recommend that you use Class 10 (or UHS-1) microSD cards.
        Transfer the image
        After you build your images, you can put them on an microSD card. You can later use that microSD card to boot your board.
        Boot using U-Boot
        After you transfer the image to an microSD card, you can use it to boot your board. But first, you must configure U-Boot to boot QNX OS; this is done by defining a few environment variables. After you reset the board, it should boot QNX OS.
      - Build the BSP
        You can use the QNX Momentics IDE or the commandline on Linux or Windows to build an image.

Before you can work with the board, here are a few things you must do. For more information, see the hardware guide for the NXP S32G-VNP-RDB3 on the vendor's website.

Connect the hardware

In addition to the board, you require these cables:

a USB-to-serial cable
an Ethernet link (or USB-to-Ethernet adapter)

CAUTION:

Use only the 12V DC power supply provided with the board. Use of any other power supply may permanently damage the board.

To connect to your S32G-VNP-RDB3 (S32G399A-RDB) board:

Connect the micro USB cable to the J2 microUSB connector (UART0).
Connect the Ethernet cable to the P3A (bottom) Ethernet connector on the board.
Connect the board's 12V DC power supply via J176 or via J5 pin 2 (12V PWR).
Switch the board on. The following figure shows how to set the power settings using the SW15 switch:
Figure 1Switch Setting for Power Selection on S32G-VNP-RDB3
Identify the host serial port on your host system:
On a Linux host, you can check which port is the host serial port by looking at what port appears when the cable is inserted. To do this, type the command:
```
$ ls /dev/ttyUSB*
```
On a Windows system, open the Device Manager and expand the Ports (COM and LPT) section. Then, look for a COM port named Gadget Serial or USB Serial Port.
Connect to the COM port using your favorite terminal program with these settings:
- Baud rate: 115200
- Data: 8 bit
- Parity: none
- Stop: 1 bit
- Flow control: none
For more information about the VCP driver and terminal programs, see the Required software section of the Before You Begin chapter in this guide.

Set DIP switches on S32G-VNP-RDB3

If this is the first time you're booting the board, you need to set the boot mode switches to boot using an microSD. The boot mode switches are configured as described in the following table:


SWITCH	POSITION
SW3.1	ON
SW4.1 to 4.6	OFF
SW4.7	ON
SW4.8	OFF
SW5.1 TO 5.8	OFF
SW6.1 TO 6.8	OFF
SW7.1 TO 7.8	OFF
SW8.1	ON
SW9.1, 9.2	OFF
SW10.1	ON
SW10.2	OFF
SW11.1	OFF
SW17.1	ON
SW17.2	ON
SW17.3	ON
SW17.4	ON

The boot mode switches are configured to boot from an microSD , as shown in the following illustration:
