When board boots, make sure you see the U-Boot and kernel prints on your host PC terminal. You will need to type-in commands in the command prompt late in the development stages
The Linux login is root (no password).

IMPORTANT:
Don't continue without the serial console operating.

Step Four: A quick test with recovery SD card

Please follow the below guide to boot Evaluation Kit with a bootable SD card, and burn a complete Yocto into SOMs storage (NAND/eMMC)

• Using the recovery SD card

Step Five: What next?

Your next step can be one of :

• Build a complete Yocto.
  This guide will help you build a complete Yocto build, resulting in all required binaries to create a full bootable Yocto SD-Card, and all required binaries to burn to SOM's storage NAND Flash or eMMC.
  • Yocto common build errors

• Use your pre-built rescue recovery SD-Card, as-is, to boot system, and start applications programming.
