  • Page 31: Bootloader Configuration

    Installation 3.3 Bootloader Configuration It is important to set up the miniHiPerCam properly before using it the first time. Setup your terminal to use a 38400 baud connection with 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and no flow control. Starting the miniHiPerCam your terminal output should look like this.
  • Page 32 Entering no value and hitting "enter" will leave the values unchanged. "(Y/n)" means that current setting is "yes". By default the miniHiPerCam uses a DHCP server to get an IP address. If you have no DHCP server, you can enter a ethernet address and a corresponding subnet mask.
  • Page 33 This is the very last help, if the emergency image can not be started. As you need additional tools which are not provided on the SDK CD to do this download ask the ELTEC support for help. eeDump This command shows the contents of the eeprom. This is needed for support purposes only.
