SSH usage

Introduction

SSH is a very common tool. It is used on nearly every Linux computer.
Therefore, we add SSH as a default tool in the Buildroot to speed up
your developing. Once the computer connecting to a network, you can
use this convenient tool.

The default username of Firefly-PX3-SE is root and the password is 123

Prepare for connection

Please refer to

WIFI & Ethernet

 for details to configure the network and make sure it can ping the
host successfully.

SSH login

For SSH login, you can just use the following command.

   $ ssh root@168.168.100.75

Enter into the password and if everything is ok, you can login to
Firefly-PX3-SE and start your work.

168.168.100.75 is the IP address of the device.

。

Of cause, you can also use other command such as "scp". The use of SSH
is the same as that on the Linux operating system.

How to configure SSH via Buildroot

SSH feature is optional in Buildroot. By default, the current firmware
supports SSH feature.

In Buildroot, you can use make menuconfig to add an OPENSSH package.

You can also modify the configuration file "defconfig:
configs/rockchip_px3se_defconfig" as below

   +BR2_PACKAGE_OPENSSH=y

Configure the username and password for login. Buildroot build the
root filesystem based on root privilege. You can login to the system
via root directly by modify the configuration file defconfig：
configs/rockchip_px3se_defconfig.

   +BR2_TARGET_ENABLE_ROOT_LOGIN=y
   +BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_ROOT_PASSWD="123"

Next, you can refer to

Build root filesystem

 to build the SDK and then the generated firmware will support SSH
feature automatically.
