STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1Installing

Software

1. Download and Install the Tera Term

terminal emulator, if not installed

already

Go to http://download.cnet.com/Tera-

Term/3001-2094_4-75766675.html and

download the executable file. Execute

the file and proceed with the default

configurations that the installation

wizard recommends. At the end of the

installation process you should have

Tera Term on your Windows PC.

2. Download and Install the MCP2221A

USB-to-UART driver, if not installed

already

Go to https://www.microchip.com/

wwwproducts/en/MCP2221A. Scroll

down and click Documents. In the

Software section, click “MCP2200/

MCP2221 Windows Driver & Installer”.

Install the driver.

2Booting the

LS1043A

1. Connect the power supply

Connect power supply to the power

jack of the MPC-LS-VNP-RDB board

and micro-B USB cable to the LS1043A

USB3 console port. Make sure the

power status LED is glowing green on

the board.

2. Setup Tera Term Console

Open Tera Term on Windows PC.

Select the COM port to which the

USB3 console port is connected and

click OK. Go to Setup>Serial Port and

select 115200 as the baud rate.

If no COM port is detected

automatically, make sure the

MCP2221A driver is downloaded and

installed correctly.

3. Reset the Board

Press the reset button on the chassis

back panel to reboot the board.

The boot log appears in the console

window.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS—CONT.

4. Application Startup

After the boot completes you will be

prompted for a TinyDistro Login.

Type “root” and then press enter.

The getting started IPCF (Inter-

Platform Communications Framework)

application is automatically executed

on login.

3Booting the

MPC5748G

1. Connect the power supply

Connect power supply to the power

jack of the MPC-LS-VNP-RDB board

and micro-B USB cable to the

MPC5748G USB4 Console port. Make

sure the power status LED is glowing

green on the board.

2. Setup Tera Term Console

Open Tera Term on Windows PC.

Select the COM port to which the

USB4 console port is connected and

click OK. Go to Setup>Serial Port and

select 115200 as the baud rate.

If no COM port is detected

automatically, make sure the

MCP2221A driver is downloaded and

installed correctly.

3. Reset the Board

Press the reset button on the chassis

back panel to reboot the board.

The boot log appears in the console

window.

4. Application Startup

The getting started IPCF (Inter-

Platform Communications Framework)

application is auto executed on login.

WARNING

The RDB enclosure provides thermal

management. Do not run the RDB

with the enclosure open without

proper cooling. Refer to the user

manual for cooling recommendations.
