Boot Switch Setting
Make sure On-Board Switch (SW4) is set properly according to the boot mode selection.
SW4-Boot Selection Switch
Debug Port Setting
The Versal AI Edge/Prime SOM Development Platform has built-in JTAG programming Module. Both JTAG and Debug UART can be accessed via a single USB Type-C connector (J8).
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(J8) as shown below.
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 -s - Configure Minicom as show in below figure
The Versal AI Edge/Prime SOM Development platform is ready to be powered ON.

JTAG Connection
iG-G57D Versal AI Edge/Prime SOM Development platform support Single Type-C Connector (J8) for both JTAG programming and Debugging.
In Carrier Board, JTAG-SMT4 Programming module supports both JTAG and Debug functionality. Please make sure that SW3 set as OFF for JTAG connection.
Powering ON
Connect the 12V Power supply plug to the Power connector (J2) of the Development platform as shown below and Switch ON(SW1) the power supply.
Once power is applied to the Development platform, the power STATUS RED LED in the Development platform will glow as shown in the below image.
Warning:
- Do not try to connect any other Power Supply other than supplied along with Versal AI Edge/Prime SOM Development Platform.
- Do not plug or remove the Versal AI Edge/Prime SOM from carrier board with live power.
- Contact iWave, if power LEDs are not glowing.
Boot Screen
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. After OS boots, Login prompt being displayed in the debug terminal. Enter username and password as “root” to get the Linux command prompt as shown below.
