Powering the Kontron M2M System

You should ensure that your Kontron M2M System is correctly connected and is capable of booting. To do this plug the power adapter into the AC wall socket – there is no on/off switch. The board should begin booting within a few seconds. The Kontron

M2M System is preprogrammed with Wind River Linux, which is specifically configured for development purposes. The preprogrammed image also includes a Wind River Tilcon Graphics demonstration.

If your target board boots successfully, and an optional display is connected, the display will show the main Wind River Tilcon

Graphics Suite Demo screen.

NOTE: You may shut down or reboot the target board using a secure shell (SSH) connection— powering off by disconnecting power can cause problems. SSH is a network protocol that allows data exchanges between two devices—it opens a shell on the host computer that lets a user execute commands on a remote machine (in this case, the Kontron M2M System). To set up and use SSH to communicate with the target from your host computer, see Sec 3.1Communicating to the Target through the Terminal of the Kontron M2M System Evaluation Tutorial . Alternately the

CTRL+ALT+F1 keys can be pressed simultaneously to switch the user to a command line console where the user can login as root with a password of root and then issue a “poweroff” command.
