Conecting to board through UART Shell

To set up the debug UART connection and view the diagnostic messages, connect the debug-USB cable from the debug-USB port on the Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ IQ-9075 EVK device to the Linux host.

Install minicom on host:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install minicom

Check the USB port:

ls /dev/ttyUSB*

Connect to board

sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB1 -b 115200

Then sign in to the console with the following credentials:

login: root
password: oelinux123

Connecting to network

The board has an Ethernet port that can be connected to router to have internet access. Wi-Fi is operational in Station mode. The Wi-Fi host driver and the authentication for network management are initialized during the device boot up. Connect to router:

nmcli dev wifi connect <WiFi-SSID> password <WiFi-password>

If something goes wrong, try deleting the connection with:

nmcli connection delete <WiFi-SSID>

And retry. Check status:

nmcli -p device

Check WLAN connection status and IP address:

ip address show wlp1s0

Check connection by pinging a website:

ping google.com

Connecting through ssh

Establish the network connectivity before connecting to SSH. Locate the IP address of the device according to the type of network connection, using the UART console on the Linux host:

  • For Ethernet:
ip address show eth2
  • For WiFi:
ip address show wlp1s0

Then use the IP address from the Linux host to establish an SSH connection to the device:

ssh root@ip-address
