Overview
The front of the EdgeKit looks similar to this.
Depending on the configuration, some details differ. A barrel-type power supply terminal e.g. will look different but will be at the same position.
EdgeKit serial debug
The serial debugging UART of EdgeKit works with 3.3V. The pins of the debug header have following function:
| Function | Pin | Pin | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
GND |
2 |
4 |
UART TX |
Force Recovery |
1 |
3 |
UART RX |
| The UART RX of EdgeKit needs to be connected to the UART TX of the host device and vice versa. If the connection does not work, try to swap the connections. |
Using the baud rate 115200, you can access the serial console of EdgeKit. In case you still get issues, make sure that the cables between the debug header and the UART converter on the other side are not too long.
Bring EdgeKit in Force Recovery mode
Turn off the EdgeKit and connect the micro USB cable to it’s flashing port. Connect the two pins GND and Force Recovery (near the User-button) of the Debug header with e.g. a jumper cable. Power the EdgeKit. It should turn on but it should not boot normally but stay in recovery mode.
