Connect and configure the hardware

Before you transfer your BSP to your board, connect the board and peripherals.

Connect the hardware

You will require a CP210x USB to UART Bridge serial device driver on your host development machine in order to establish a terminal session with the target over USB. For more information, see Required Software in the Before You Begin chapter of this guide.

When you have the driver installed on your host, you should be able to connect to your board. To connect to your board:

  1. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the Xilinx Zynq KR260's Ethernet port and your local network.

  2. Connect the power supply to the Xilinx Zynq KR260’s power connector.

  3. Connect the USB cable (included with the board) between the board's Micro-USB UART/JTAG connector (J4 on the KR260) and your host machine.
  4. On your host machine, determine the port name of the USB port used for serial communications with the Xilinx Zynq KR260 board, and start your favorite terminal program with these settings:

    • Baudrate: 115200
    • Data: 8 bit
    • Parity:none
    • Stop: 1 bit
    • Flow control: none
