ZEUS Embedded Linux Development Kit Quickstart Unpacking and connecting up

Unpacking and connecting up

This section guides you, step-by-step, through the process of connecting up the ZEUS

for the first time and powering up the system. The ZEUS is delivered ready to run.

There are no link settings or configuration switches that need to be adjusted for the

board to operate; however as instructed below, you should enable the battery link so

that the on-board RTC operates as expected.

A number of the components are static-sensitive, so standard anti-static

precautions must be taken during use. For more information, see

Anti-static

handling

, page 5.

If you follow the procedure described below, the board powers up automatically and

loads the RedBoot boot loader from the on-board Flash array. At this point you can

interrupt the boot process, if you wish, and access the RedBoot command prompt. If

you do not interrupt the normal boot sequence, after a 1 second pause the system

continues to load and boot Linux (AEL Embedded Linux). Linux will be fully operational

after approximately 30 seconds.
