Introduction¶
This guide explains how to start developing with the Pengwyn in a few steps.
In the following chapters you will learn step by step how to install the SDK and connect the Pengwyn on the development computer.
This SDK runs under Ubuntu 10.4 LTS and it’s based on Sitara SDK.
After the host configuration you will see:
- how to compile the essential firmware: the bootloader and the kernel
- how to create a basic file system and save it on a sd-card.
- how use the development environment Code Composer Studio v5 for creating a basic project, compiling and debugging it
Basic knowledge of Linux system, specifically Ubuntu, is required.

How to connect the board¶
Connect the USB cable to the host PC.
Create an Ethernet connection between Pengwyn and the board, in the way that these devices will be on the same LAN.
A possible configuration is showed below.
Linux System has been pre-flashed on the board.
If you turn on the Pengwyn and the display expansion board is connected the “Matrix Application Launcher v2” will appear.
