Load the SD card into the ZCU102 board, in the J100 connector.
Connect the USB-UART on the board to the host machine.
Connect the Micro USB cable into the ZCU102 Board Micro USB port J83, and the other end into an open USB port on the host machine.
Configure the board to boot in SD boot mode by setting switch SW6 as shown in the following figure.
Connect 12V power to the ZCU102 6-Pin Molex connector.
Start a terminal session, using Tera Term or Minicom depending on the host machine being used, as well as the COM port and baud rate for your system.
For port settings, verify the COM port in the device manager. There are four USB-UART interfaces exposed by the ZCU102 board.
Select the COM port associated with the interface with the lowest number. In this case, for UART-0, select the COM port with interface-0.
Similarly, for UART-1, select the COM port with interface-1. Remember that the R5 BSP has been configured to use UART-1, so R5 application messages will appear on the COM port with the UART-1 terminal.
