The following figure shows how to set up the VCK190 or VMK180 evaluation boards.

VCK190 Board Setup

Board jumper and switch settings

This is a onetime setup and the board should have been delivered to you with this default settings, but it is good to double check for the first time when you get the board.

  • Make sure you remove J326 (7-8) jumper.

  • Setup SYSCTRL Boot mode switch SW11 to (ON,OFF,OFF,OFF) from switch bits 1 to 4 as shown in the above picture.

  • The Evaluation kit comes with an image pre-installed on the System Controller micro SD card. If for some reason the System Controller uSD card is corrupted or damaged, you can create new by flashing the prebuilt System Controller SD Image.

  • Setup Versal Boot Mode switch SW1 to (ON,OFF,OFF,OFF) from switch bits 1 to 4 as shown in the above picture.

Serial console settings

The Evaluation Boards come with a USB-C connector for JTAG+UART, and when connected three UART ports should be visible in Device Manager. They will not be identified by name, but they will correspond to the following:

  • Versal UART0

  • Versal UART1

  • System Controller UART

Connect a USB-C cable to the USB-UART connector. Since the COM ports are not identified by name, open three terminal emulators, and choose one COM port for each one using the following settings:

  • Baud Rate: 115200

  • Data: 8 bit

  • Parity: None

  • Stop: 1 bit

  • Flow Control: None

UART0 will be used for PLM, U-boot, and Linux on APU. UART1 will be used for RPU prints. System Controller UART will not be used, and can be closed once its terminal has been identified.

Ethernet IP settings

The JupyterLab Server IP address is fixed (static) at 192.168.0.10.

In order for this server to be seen by another computer, such as a laptop, the computer needs to be on the same subnet.

On Linux, type:

ifconfig

Note the Ethernet adapter name given, then type:

ifconfig <adapter> 192.168.0.xxx

where .xxx can be anything other than .10 which would conflict with the JupyterLab server.

ifconfig_linux

On Windows, set the IP address from Control Panel as shown below.

set_ip_windows
