9260 Getting Started

Setting up the Snapper 9260 Quick Start Kit

1. Unpack the board, and confirm that the Snapper 9260 module is fully inserted into the SO-DIMM connector on the Quick Start Kit, and pushed down until the metal tabs on the SO-DIMM connector have latched.
2. Plug a null modem cable into the J3 DB9 connector, and into the host PC.
3. Plug an ethernet cable into J5, and either into a switch connected to the PC, or via a cross-over ethernet cable directly into the host PC.
4. Start a serial terminal program, and attach it to the host PC serial port, at 115200 8N1.
5. Plug in the power jack to a suitable power supply.
6. Once the Snapper 9260 unit has finished booting, a login prompt will be displayed

   snapper login: 

7. Login as root (no password will be required).
8. Type busybox to get an idea of what software is available

root@snapper:~$ busybox
BusyBox v1.10.1 (2009-02-03 09:12:12 NZDT) multi-call binary

        BusyBox is a multi-call binary that combines many common Unix
        utilities into a single executable.  Most people will create a
        link to busybox for each function they wish to use and BusyBox
        will act like whatever it was invoked as!

Building the 'Hello World' software

• Install the GNU GCC Toolchain
• Create a new file on the host PC called helloworld.c containing the following

#include <stdio.h>

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
    printf ("Hello world\n");
    return 0;
}

• Compile this program using the following command line

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -o helloworld helloworld.c -g -Wall -pipe

• Configure the ethernet device on the Snapper 9260 appropriately for your network

ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.168

• Download the file from your host PC (assumes you have an FTP server available)

wget ftp://192.168.2.2/path/to/helloworld

• Execute the Hello World program

root@snapper:~$ ./helloworld
Hello World
root@snapper:~$
