== Setting up your host PC ==
# Connect the RS-232 cable (included with the evaluation kit) between the SBC connector '''P60''' 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 and set the following serial port parameters:
<blockquote>

</blockquote>

== Setting up the Compulab Board ==
# Make sure '''DS7''' LED is '''OFF''' while '''DS4''' LED is '''ON'''. If this is not the case, populate jumper '''E5'''.
# Start the system by enabling power through the main DC power connector (J4).
# Console messages should appear on your host PC through the terminal emulation program.
