Boot board

The followings steps describe how to boot board from your microSD. Before you can complete these steps, you must prepare the microSD. For more information, see the Preparing the microSD to boot the board section in this chapter for more information.
Note:

To enable booting the system from the microSD card, you need create a DOS FAT32 partition (type 12) on the card. For information about preparing a bootable microSD card, see the Prepare a bootable microSD in this chapter.

  1. Connect a USB cable from your Xilinx KR260 target board to your host system.
  2. On your host machine, start your favorite terminal program with these settings:
    • Baud rate: 115200
    • Data: 8 bit
    • Parity: none
    • Stop: 1 bit
    • Flow control: none
  3. Connect the Xilinx KR260 board to the power supply. To reset the board, press the reset button SW2.
  4. After the power is turned on, output from FSBL appears terminal console. FSBL will load U-Boot, and U-Boot will load QNX IFS from the microSD.
