==================================
Ports of |G510-G700-EVK-REF-BOARD|
==================================

With ``rity-demo-image``, there are several options to connect your host PC to the |G510-G700-EVK-REF-BOARD|:

* :doc:`uart`: The ``UART0`` port provides access to bootloader and kernel console with rity-demo-image.
* **USB**: The ``USB0`` (USB port 0) port is mapped to a micro USB connector labelled as ``Micro USB D/L``.
  It provides following functions:

  * **Image Download**: You can program the on-board storage (EMMC) through this port with :doc:`flash tools </tools/genio-tools>`.
  * :doc:`RNDIS (Windows) <rndis-windows>`: The port is configured as an RNDIS device to provide 
    "virtual" ethernet connections to the board with USB cable. 
  * The port also exposes a Android Debugging Bridge(ADB) device for easy access with the ``adb`` utility on host PC.
    Only ``adb push``, ``adb pull``, ``adb shell`` commands are supported.

  .. note::
    
    The **USB-C PD** connector on the EVK maps to ``USB1`` of MT8370/MT8390. It is configured as an USB host-only port, 
    and does not expose RNDIS nor ADB devices.

    The **USB-C (Charger)** connector, next to the ``UART2`` connector, is for charging purposes only and is not supported by IoT Yocto.
