Flashing a demo for AT91SAM9x5 family

(for SAM9G15, SAM9G25, SAM9X25, SAM9G35 and SAM9X35)

Before flashing the demo, make sure that you have installed the SAM-BA tool on your host computer.

connect a USB cable on the board
connect a serial link on DBGU connector and open the terminal emulator program

JP9 must be opened (BMS=1) to boot from the on-chip Boot ROM

Cogent module	Embest module	Ronetix module
open `*NCS` jumper	open `SW1` switch (not `ON` position)	open `J1` and `J2` jumpers
which is (are) located on the CPU module to prevent access to serial flash and NAND flash

power up the board
verify that the USB connection is established (ATMEL AT91xxxxx Test Board appears in taskbar notification area, or check /dev/ttyACM0 on Linux)

Cogent module	Embest module	Ronetix module
close `*NCS` jumper	close `SW1` switch (move to `ON` position)	close `J1` and `J2` jumpers

launch the proper .bat file : this script will run SAM-BA with proper parameters ; on a Linux host, run the .tcl script form the SAM-BA GUI
when the logfile.log appears (this will take a few minutes), check that Done. is written a the end of the file
remove the USB cable
power cycle the board
look the system booting on the LCD screen or trough the serial line

Playing with the demo

Ok, now you should have the Linux demo up'n running on your board ! Have a walk through applications of this demo.
You can also access the Linux console through the serial line plugged on DBGU port.
Use the root login account without password.
