Boot Switch Setting
Make sure that Boot Mode Switch (SW6) in the carrier board is set for eMMC boot as shown below
SW6-Boot selection Switch
Note: Bits 3 and 4 of SW6 are not utilized, so their state is considered “don’t care” and can be set to either ON or OFF.
Debug Port Setting
The Virtex UltraScale+ FPGA SOM Development Platform has a built-in JTAG emulator. Both JTAG and Debug UART can be accessed via a single USB-C connector (J6).
Connect Type A end of USB cable to PC and Type-C end of USB cable to Development platform’s Debug USB Type-C Connector (J6) as shown below.
Install the driver for Debug Port in Host PC/Laptop using the
below link.

How to configure
Use one of the terminal application depending on the operating system of the host machine:
On the command prompt of the Linux host machine, run the following command to determine the port number:
$ ls /dev/ttyUSB*
Minicom
Use the following commands to install and run the serial communication program (minicom as an example):
- Install Minicom using Ubuntu package manager.
$ sudo apt-get install minicom
- Launch Minicom using a console window using the port number determined earlier.
$ sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB1 - Configure Minicom as show in below figure
The Virtex UltraScale+ FPGA Development platform is ready to be powered ON.

- Download PuTTY and install the application. webpage to continue.
- Launch PuTTY
- Power ON the board
Enter the appropriate COM port and configure the speed (baudrate) to 115200
- Click “Open” to open the serial connection.
JTAG Connection
iG-G52D Virtex UltraScale+ FPGA SOM Development platform Support JTAG interface through Debug and JTAG Type-C Connector (J6) in Carrier Board for FPGA Programming and debugging. JTAG-SMT4 Programming module in carrier board supports both JTAG functionality. Ensure that Switch-4(SW4) in carrier board is turned OFF to select FPGA JTAG.
Powering ON
Connect the 15V power supply plug to the power connector (J4) of the Development platform as shown below and switch (SW3) ON the power supply. Once power is applied to the Development platform, the power LEDs in Virtex UltraScale+ FPGA BRYN Carrier Board will glow as shown in the below image.
Warning:
- Do not try to connect any other Power Supply other than supplied along with the Development Platform.
- Do not plug or remove the Virtex UltraScale+ FPGA SOM from carrier board with live power.
- Contact iWave, if power LEDs are not glowing or Error status LEDs are glowing.
Boot screen
User must go through “Software User Guide” and get familiar with software section of iG-G52M-Virtex-UltraScale+DRA821U-OSM-SOM-GXD1.0-Linux6.1.80-SoftwareUserGuide.
Once power is applied to the Development Platform as explained in the previous section, boot messages being displayed in the debug terminal of the PC/Laptop which is connected to the Development platform. Press any key in terminal immediately to see the command prompt of the Boot loader or wait until OS boots.
