First use

Power On

AIBOX-1684X will turn on automatically when connected to the power supply. If the power supply is connected, please press the power button to turn on the machine.

Login Terminal

There are two ways to log in to the AIBOX-1684X terminal. One is to log in through the Type C serial port, and the other is to log in remotely through the network.

Type C Serial Port Login

To log in through the Type C serial port, prepare a Type C to USB cable and connect it to the Type C port of AIBOX-1684X and the USB port of the PC.

Users can use software such as MobaXterm or minicom to connect to the serial port. The baud rate of the serial port is 115200. The user name and password used to log in to the terminal are both linaro.

Network Remote Login

Before using the network remote login, check the IP address of AIBOX-1684X ethernet port:

Ethernet port 0 (near the USB port) has a dynamic IP address. Log in to the terminal using the Type C serial port and run the ifconfig command to check the IP address of ethernet port 0 (eth0).

Ethernet port 1 (near the 12V power port) is set to the static IP 192.168.150.1, subnet mask 255.255.255.0. you can set the PC to 192.168.150.2/24 for initial access.

You can easily change the IP address of a PC in the following ways:

  • Windows (Open cmd as an administrator and run)：

netsh int ipv4 set interface "Ethernet" dhcpstaticipcoexistence=enabled
netsh int ipv4 add address "Ethernet" 192.168.150.2 255.255.255.0

  • Linux

ifconfig enp4s0:1 192.168.150.2

After confirming the IP address of the ethernet port, if you can successfully ping the IP address of the ethernet port on the PC side, then you can use ssh to log in, where the port number is 22, and the user name and password are also linaro:

# 192.168.150.1 must be replaced with the actual IP address of the ethernet port
ssh linaro@192.168.150.1

To change the IP address of the network port, see Network IP configuration

Power Off

Note: Please complete the software/hardware shutdown before disconnecting the power, so as not to damage the file system data.

  • Software shutdown: Run sudo poweroff in the terminal.

  • Hardware shutdown: Press and hold the power button until the indicator light stops flashing.

When the fan stops running and the indicator light is off, AIBOX-1684X is powered off. You can safely disconnect the power supply.
