Once the Linux images have been built and packaged, they can be loaded onto the VCK190 or VMK180 board using either JTAG or HSDP. To set up the SmartLynq+ module for connectivity using HSDP, follow these steps:

  1. Connect the USB-C cable between the VCK190 USB-C connector and the SmartLynq+ module.

  2. Connect the SmartLynq+ to either Ethernet or USB.

    • Using Ethernet: Connect an Ethernet cable between Ethernet port on the SmartLynq+ and your local area network.

    • Using USB: Connect the provided USB cable between the USB port on the SmartLynq+ and your PC.

  3. Connect the power adapter to the SmartLynq+ and power on the VCK190/VMK180 board.

    Note

    Connect the Ethernet cable to the target device before booting the board.

  4. Once the SmartLynq+ finishes booting up, an IP address appears on the screen under either eth0 or usb0. Make note of this IP address as this is the IP address used to connect to the SmartLynq+ in both the Ethernet and USB use case.

    Note

    If using Ethernet, the SmartLynq+ acquires an IP address from a DHCP server found on the network. If using USB, the USB port has a fixed IP address of 10.0.0.2.

  5. Copy the Linux download scripts from the design package <design-package>/smartlynq_plus/xsdb.
