== Setting up your host PC ==
# Connect a micro-USB cable (included with the evaluation kit) between the SBC connector '''P20''' to a free USB port on your host PC.
# Make sure the CP2104 driver is available with your operating system, otherwise install CP2104 driver onto the host PC from here: https://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx
# 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/ttyUSB0, /dev/ttyUSB1 ... /dev/ttyUSBn
#* 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>
{{:SB-SOM: serial port parameters table}}
</blockquote>
== Setting up the Compulab Board ==
# Make sure jumper '''E5''' is not populated.
# Start the system by enabling power through the main DC power connector.
# Make sure '''DS7''' LED is ON while '''DS4''' LED is OFF.
# Console messages should appear on your host PC through the terminal emulation program.
