Hello Sebastian, Here's a snippet from one of our internal guides on how to set a ROACH1 up. Check that you've got the baud rate set correctly, if you get absolutely nothing on the serial port. You do need to configure the ROACH to boot from the NFS.
If you get nothing on the serial port though, that could indicate that the ROACH is faulty? - Connect the serial port of the ROACH to the Windows PC using the USB-to-serial converter and establish a serial connection using Putty or similar software (baud rate 115200). Remember to check the COM port using the technique described above. - Power up (or reboot) the ROACH, keeping an eye on the terminal - Press a key on to get into the UBOOT configuration. Typing help lists the possible commands. Input: printenv bootcmd Output: bootcmd=run mmcboot - Change this to run netboot Input: setenv bootcmd run netboot Input: saveenv - Verify that the ROACH is booting from NFS rebooting on the front panel, or by typing boot in U-BOOT. - Keep the serial connection open until booting is finished and you get a login prompt. Login to the ROACH. The default login is root with no password. Check that the filesystem has correctly loaded from the NFS uboot partition.
