Remote Network Login

_images/ethernet_interfaces.png

Ethernet port 0 (located on the upper layer) is set up with a dynamic IP, which can be obtained automatically via DHCP.

Ethernet port 1 (located on the lower layer) is configured with a static IP 192.168.150.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. You can set your PC’s IP address to 192.168.150.2/24 for initial access.

If your PC can successfully ping the IP address of the Ethernet port, you can proceed to SSH login. The SSH port is 22, and the username and password are both linaro:

ssh linaro@192.168.150.1

Once connected to the development board, you can modify the network configuration. The method is similar to Debian/Ubuntu desktop versions. You can configure it in the /etc/netplan/ directory.

Serial Terminal Access

Refer to Serial Debugging.

Power Off

When shutting down, it’s recommended to avoid directly disconnecting the power. First, run sudo poweroff, then disconnect the power to avoid damaging the file system data.

Additionally, if you’ve successfully entered the Linux system, you can also press and hold the power button. The system will detect it and safely shut down the system and the development board’s power.
