Setting Up U-Boot Parameters

VIA recommends that console board (P/N: 15GCU000000-20) and console cable (P/N:
99G33-192486) are used in order to configure the VAB-630 parameters.
The first step is to connect the host machine to the console board, then connect the
console board to the VAB-630 through the Debug UART connector (J1). Use a serial
port communication program such as PuTTY, GtkTerm, or Minicom, to configure the
serial port setting and connect to the debug console. There you will be able to see the
U-Boot boot log and adjust settings in the U-Boot console.
