On Windows
, select the serial port COMx, with x replaced by a num-
ber specific to your system. You can verify the number by going to
Control Panel
→
System and Security
→
System
→
Device Manager. In
the “Ports (COM & LPT)” section, use the COM port assigned to
“Gadget Serial.”
c.
On Linux
, select the serial port that shows something similar to
“/dev/ttyAMC0.”
Keep in mind that it takes a bit of time for the board to boot up. You may not
see the port appear in the menu immediately after powering the Galileo and
plugging it into your computer.
If you have multiple serial ports to choose from and aren't sure
which to choose, try unplugging the Galileo from your com-
puter, checking the Serial Ports menu, plugging the board
back in, and opening the menu again to see which port gets
added.
Figure 2-6.
Your serial port will likely have a different name, but on a Mac, it
will be similar to the one selected here.
Now is a good time to make sure that you have the most up-
to-date firmware on the Galileo. Click Help
