9 GR-LEON4-ITX Development Board
Quick Start Guide
Connecting with the included JTAG adapter
The JTAG adapter shall be connected to the board using the JTAG pin header shown in the 
middle bottom of Figure 2-2. Please ensure that the JTAG cable/adapter is connected with 
the correct polarity, to prevent unintended damage to the board or cable.
To   connect   to   the   board   using   the   JTAG   adapter   delivered   with   the   board,   issue   the 
command:
grmon -jtag
Connecting with a Xilinx USB JTAG adapter
The JTAG adapter shall be connected to the board using the JTAG pin header, or ribbon 
connector,   shown   in   the   middle   bottom   of   Figure   2-2.   Please   ensure   that   the   JTAG 
cable/adapter is connected with the correct polarity, to prevent unintended damage to the 
board or cable.
To connect to the board using a Xilinx USB adapter, issue the command:
grmon -xilusb
Connecting via the USB interface
Please see the GRMON User's Manual for how to set up the required USB driver software. 
Then connect to the board using the command:
grmon -usb
Connecting via serial UART
Please   refer   to  the  GR-LEON4-ITX   Development   Board   User   Manual  and   the  GRMON 
User's Manual for instructions on how to connect via the serial debug interface.
NOTE: The DSU UART interface does not have a RS232 transceiver mounted on the board! 
See user board user manual for instructions.
Connecting via Ethernet
Before connecting via Ethernet the host computer (the computer running GRMON) must be 
connected to the same network as the GR-LEON4-ITX board. After that the IP address of the 
Ethernet Debug Communication Link (EDCL) must be set up. This address can be set up 
either by PROM software or by using another debug link. After connecting with an alternate 
debug link, issue the command edcl <ip address>. Figure 2-3 below shows a session where 
an IP address is set and the expected output:
After the EDCL IP address has been set, connect to the target with
