TS-8390-4900 Booting up the board

WARNING:

Be sure to take appropriate Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions. Disconnect the power source before moving, cabling, or performing any set up procedures. Inappropriate handling may cause damage to the board.

The TS-8390 accepts 5-28VDC input on the terminal block connector, and commonly has a 12-15W supply.

Power connector

Once you have applied power to the TS-8390 the red LED will turn on for a few seconds after power on before turning off and green turning on when Linux starts booting. You should look for console output on power on as well. The next section of the manual provides information on getting the console connected. The first output is from U-Boot:

U-Boot 2013.10-00049-g311750c (Jul 10 2014 - 10:37:04)

CPU:   Freescale i.MX6Q rev1.2 at 792 MHz
Reset cause: POR
Board: TS-4900
DRAM:  2 GiB
MMC:   FSL_SDHC: 0, FSL_SDHC: 1
SF: Detected N25Q64 with page size 256 Bytes, erase size 4 KiB, total 8 MiB
*** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment

In:    serial
Out:   serial
Err:   serial
Net:   using phy at 7
FEC [PRIME]
Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0 

The default U-Boot will check for USB updates, and then will check the "SD Boot" jumper. If the SD boot jumper is set, it will boot to the Linux on the SD card. If it is not set, it will boot to the eMMC.

Note:

The "*** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment" can be safely ignored. If you "env save" this will use your environment on the disk, but on new boards the SPI flash is erased so it just doesn't have a modifed env saved.
