Figure 2-2. SAM9X75-Curiosity Board with LAN8840

To set up the target:

  1. Insert the SD card into the target board.
  2. Connect the LAN8840 EDS2 daughter card to the Gigabit Ethernet J17 connector.
  3. Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ45 connector on the LAN8840 EDS2 daughter card, ensuring it is connected to a network with internet access.
  4. Connect an FTDI-compatible UART-to-USB cable between the UART DEBUG J35 header and the PC.
  5. Ensure that jumpers J9 and J10 are open to prevent booting from NAND and QSPI Flash.
  6. Power on the board by plugging the provided USB Type-A to micro-USB cable into the J2 micro-USB port.
  7. Open the serial console using your preferred terminal application, for example, sudo minicom -s.

To identify the serial port on the PC, connect the FTDI cable and run sudo dmesg. In our example, the serial device appears as /dev/ttyUSB0.
