+Download the ara2-sdk onto your host and extract it. It should create a folder named 'art'
+
+Instructions are in the README_linux_aarch64.txt file inside the extracted folder. 
+
+Copy the 'art' folder to the Gateworks SBC with something like scp. 
+
+Verify the Kinara card is detected on the PCIe bus:
