Login Using a Serial Communication Tool

その後 setting up connections of Core 3588E, you can log in to it on Windows, macOS, or Ubuntu using Android Debug Bridge (ADB), a serial communication tool, or SSH.

This document describes how to log in to Core 3588E using a serial communication tool. For details about login using the ADB tool and via SSH, refer to the following documents:

準備

  • USB-TTLコンバーター
  • A computer: Windows, macOS, or Ubuntu
  • コア3588Eボード
  • A carrier board that is compatible with Jetson TX2 NX (Leetop A206 is used in this document)

ステップ1.ハードウェアの接続

1.1 Connect the GND, TXD, and RXD pins of the USB to TTL converter to the GND, RXD, and TXD pins of Core 3588E, respectively.

ステップ2.ドライバーのダウンロードとインストール

2.1 Download a driver according to the USB to TTL converter that you are using.

2.2 Unzip the driver zip file and select the corresponding file (.exe) to install based on the computer architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).

On your computer, open デバイスマネージャー and find the board’s COM port.

Take note of the COM port for the device named “Ports (COM & LPT)” (such as “COM4”). You will use it in the next step.

Step 3. Install and configure PuTTY

PuTTY is one of the serial communication tools generally used on Windows, and is used for illustration in this document.

3.1 Select the PuTTY file (.exe or .msi) to install based on the computer architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).

3.2 Open PuTTY and configure Connection type, Serial line, and Speed as shown in the following figure. Then click オープン.

2.2 Install Picocom by running the following command:

brew install picocom

Step 3. Connect to Core 3588E

-b is to set the baud rate and must be set to 1500000.

sudo picocom -b 1500000 /dev/tty.usbserial-0
