Execute basic commands

A quality version of this page, approved on 24 June 2020, was based off this revision.


Let's start			Develop on Arm® Cortex®-A7
	Unpack the board	Populate the target and boot the image		Execute basic commands	Use the demo launcher

1 Overview[edit]

This stage explains how to connect the Linux terminal of your board to your host computer through the ST-LINK/V2-1.
Then you will see how to execute basic commands with the Linux command line interface in order to be familiarized with the Linux console.

2 The serial terminal[edit]

The serial terminal allows to communicate with the board trough a UART serial interface.

Install minicom

 sudo apt-get install minicom

Get the ttyACM device instance that need to be used to access the ST-LINK/V2-1

 ls /dev/ttyACM*
/dev/ttyACM0

Connect the minicom to the /dev/ttyACM0 device

 minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0
Welcome to minicom 2.7

OPTIONS: I18n 
Compiled on Nov 15 2018, 20:18:47.
Port /dev/ttyACM0, 15:56:03

Press CTRL-A Z for help on special keys

Press the reset button to reset the board. You should see boot log displayed in the minicom window

For ecosystem release v2.0.0 :
