1 INTRODUCTION
The Starter Kit eSOM/SK4 contains everything you need to get started with your embedded
networking application. The Starter Kit includes an eSOM/3517 module with a pre-installed
U-Boot boot loader and an embedded Linux, the Evaluation Board eSOM/EVA2-SV1,
power supply, serial interface (null modem) cable, a CD-ROM with software and documen-
tation and a printed user manual for the first steps with the Starter Kit.
The Starter Kit CD-ROM comes with a full GNU cross tool chain for C/C++ software de-
velopment. The binary files of this pre-build tool chain run on an x86 Linux based host
(SuSE, Red Hat or other).
For using the eSOM/SK4 Embedded Linux Starter Kit you need a development system. The
minimal configuration for this system is a Windows based PC with the HyperTerminal ter-
minal emulation program and a free COM port (COM1, COM2 or USB based COMx) for
the RS232 serial link between the eSOM/3517 and HyperTerminal.
For using the Ethernet link, your PC needs an Ethernet adapter with 10 Mbps or
10/100 Mbps LAN interface. This environment allows Web server programming (HTML
pages, Java applets) and Linux shell script programming. For using the GNU C/C++ cross
tool chain, it is necessary to run Linux on the development system.
1.1 Safety Guidelines
Please read the following safety guidelines carefully! In case of property or personal
damage by not paying attention to this document and/or by incorrect handling, we do
not assume liability. In such cases any warranty claim expires.
ATTENTION: Observe precautions for handling – electrostatic sensitive device!
•Discharge yourself before you work with the device, e.g. by touching a heater of
metal, to avoid damages.
•Stay grounded while working with the device to avoid damage through electrostatic
discharge.

1.3 Features and Technical Data
The eSOM/SK4 comes with a pre-installed U-Boot boot loader and an Embedded Linux op-
erating system. The eSOM/3517 Linux consists of two main components: 1. the Linux ker-
nel and 2. the root file system.
The eSOM/3517 U-Boot boot loader allows the downloading of new Linux kernel versions
and root file systems to the eSOM/3517 RAM and Flash. This in-system programming fea-
ture can be used by a simple serial and Ethernet link between the development system and
the eSOM/3517.

2 GETTING STARTED
2.1 Serial Link between eSOM/EVA2-SV1 and PC
Setup the serial link between the Evaluation Board eSOM/EVA2-SV1 and your PC. Use a
null modem cable for this connection.
Figure 1: Serial link between eSOM/EVA2-SV1 and PC
Connect one end of the null modem cable with an unused COM port of your PC. Make sure
that this PC COM port supports 115.200 bps.

Manual Revision 1.0
2.2 Ethernet Link between eSOM/EVA2-SV1 and PC
Setup the Ethernet LAN link between the Evaluation Board eSOM/EVA2-SV1 and your PC.
Use an Ethernet cross-over cable or a switch-based infrastructure with two Ethernet patch
cables for the LAN connection.
Figure 2: Ethernet link between eSOM/EVA2-SV1 and PC
Please note: The eSOM/3517 comes with the default IP address 192.168.0.126.
Please make sure that your PC can work with the IP address range 192.168.0.x.

2.3 Connecting Power Supply and Power-up the Starter Kit
Connect the 5 VDC power supply with the barrel plug with the Evaluation Board
eSOM/EVA2-SV1.
Please note: Make sure that all cable connections are OK. Then power-up the Starter
Kit.
Figure 4: Power supply for the eSOM/EVA2-SV1
CAUTION: Providing the eSOM/EVA2-SV1 with a voltage higher than the regular 5 VDC
±5% could resolve in damaged board components!
CAUTION: Do NOT turn on the power supply before it is connected with the
eSOM/EVA2-SV1. This could cause damaged board components! First connect the board
with the power supply and THEN turn the power supply on.

2.4 Using Serial Link with Terminal Program
Run HyperTerminal on your Windows-PC, minicom or a similar simple terminal emulation
program on your Linux-based PC.
Figure 5: Direct connection setup with HyperTerminal
Setup a direct connection with the parameters of table 2. Make sure, that the PC COM port
supports 115.200 bps.

2.5 Power-up eSOM/3517 with RCM disabled
After power-up the eSOM/3517 starts an automatic boot process from the on-board flash
memory chip. This process consists of two steps:
1. Directly after power-up, the eSOM/3517 runs the U-Boot boot loader program
for some milliseconds. U-Boot initializes the hardware components (hardware
init). With RCM disabled (please see the eSOM/3517 hardware reference man-
ual for details), there is no U-Boot text message output over the eSOM/3517
COM1 serial interface and no boot delay-based
1
wait period. Direct after the
hardware init, the U-Boot boot loader starts the Linux OS image.
2. Linux takes control over the eSOM/3517 hardware and runs all necessary proc-
esses for coming up to live.
Figure 7: Linux booting process with HyperTerminal
Please note: The U-Boot environment variable boot delay does not influence the
eSOM/3517 boot process with RCM (Remote Console Mode) disabled.
The eSOM/3517 Linux supports a serial console. It allows running a Linux-based system
in a headless configuration without a monitor or keyboard. Wait until the Linux boot pro-
cess finishes. Please use the username root and the password root. Then press Enter.
“boot delay” is a U-Boot environment variable. The value defines a wait time before
U-Boot starts the Linux operating system.

Manual Revision 1.0
2.6 Power-up eSOM/3517 with RCM enabled
The eSOM/3517 boot sequence with RCM enabled is similar to the boot procedure with
RCM disabled. Only the first step is different:
1. The eSOM/3517 runs the U-Boot boot loader program. This software shows a
wait message over the eSOM/3517 COM1 serial interface if RCM is enabled
(please see the eSOM/3517 hardware reference manual for details). It is possible
to interrupt the boot process and switch to the U-Boot command line interface.
Just hit a key of your terminal emulation program.
2. Without interruption the U-Boot boot loader starts a Linux OS image after the
wait period from the eSOM/3517 Flash memory.
Figure 8: U-Boot wait message
Please note: The U-Boot command line interface allows changing the wait time of
the first step. Please see the U-Boot environment variable boot delay for details.
