Setting Up Terminal Connection in Linux
To set up the terminal connection for the Cyclone V SoC Development Kit in Linux, specify the USB
virtual COM port settings.
1. Connect the board to your development machine via the micro-USB port that is closest to the power
supply connector on the board.
2. Connect the board to the power supply and power it up.
3. Run the command
dmesg | tail
to determine which device the Future Technology Devices
International (FTDI) driver assigns for the connection (e.g. /dev/ttyUSB0).
4. Setup the minicom as follows:
a. Ensure that minicom is installed on your system. If not, invoke the
yum install minicom
command.
b. Run
minicom -s
as root to enter the minicom setup mode.
c. Select Serial port setup and then press Enter.
d. Press A to change Serial Device to
/dev/ttyUSB0
and then press Enter.
e. Press E to change the port settings. Press E again to select 115200 for Speed, and then press Q to set
Data/Parity/Stopbits to 8-N-1 configuration.
