Running the PetaLinux OS Image

  1. After the SDcard has been properly imaged, insert the card into your ZUBoard 1CG board.

  2. Install the Avnet DP-eMMC HSIO module on the “J2” HSIO connector. Optionally you may also wish to connect a USB keyboard. Be sure to connect a 1080p video monitor to the mini-DP connector (J3) on the DP-eMMC board.

  1. Connect the board to the USB-C power adapter 15V/45W and press the power switch (SW7) to turn on the board. Once the board boots you will be prompted for login credentials.

    • Login: root (no password required)

  2. Open a UART console connection to the ZUBoard 1CG

    • Baud 115200

    • 8 bits

    • No parity

    • 1 stop bit

  3. At the command prompt change to the avnet_dualcam_python_examples folder and launch the Python example.

$ cd ~/avnet_dualcam_python_examples
$ python3 ./avnet_dualcam_passthrough.py
