    Hi Mohammad,

    The baud rate is 115200. Refer to the below pointers for more info on how to config the console:

    ti-ezsdk_dm816x-evm_5_05_02_00/docs/DM816x_EZ_Software_Developers_Guide.pdf - 6.6 Setting up Tera Term

    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../TI81XX_PSP_UBOOT_User_Guide
    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../TI81xx_PSP_Porting_Guide

    The standard demos are available into the EZSDK package.

    The link to the latest (5.05.02.00) EZSDK:
    software-dl.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html

    It is tested under Ubuntu10,11,12 but it might work on Ubuntu 14 also (it is not tested). You need to modify the below script for Ubuntu14:

    ti-ezsdk_dm816x-evm_5_05_02_00/bin/setup-host-check.sh

    Thank you pavel,

    In other kits like Devkit or Beagle bone,after booting from sd card,there will be a image given by respected companies,if we just copy into the sd card and run it ,it will show the output,

    like this,can we do with this board means the copying of standard images to the sd card and just running it by minicom..?

    where i ll get the standard codes .?We purchase the kit ,with that two cd's came one is for ubuntu and other is for code sourcery,is code sourcery contains standard images?

    my last doubt is that,can we purchase a sd card from outside and copy the images from the sd card what texas has given with the kit,and can we run the board using new sd card..?is the images of sd card read only..?

    thank you

    Yes, there are pre-built images (MLO, u-boot.bin, uImage) that you can place in your SD card and boot the DM816x TI EVM from that SD card. These images are located in ti-ezsdk_dm816x-evm_5_05_02_00/board-support/prebuilt-images/

    Usually the DM816x TI EVM come with one SD card, with pre-built images on it. But these images might be not from the latest EZSDK version (5.05.02.00) but from older release of the EZSDK. Thus I would recommend you to run the setup script, which prepare the SD card for you with the latest images, see the below doc for more info:

    ti-ezsdk_dm816x-evm_5_05_02_00/docs/DM816x_EZ_Software_Developers_Guide.pdf

    Yes, you can get your own SD card and use it.
