After flashing the direct-write image, networking defaults to DHCP with hostname onecloud. The front-panel LED turns from red to green during boot. Access the device in your browser via its IP.

For subsequent flashing, hold the reset button while powering on to enter flash mode (no need to short again).

Usage

Connections

  1. Plug the USB HDMI capture card into the USB port near the Ethernet jack; connect HDMI from target to capture card
  2. Plug the dual-headed USB cable into the USB port next to the HDMI port; connect the other end to the target
  3. Ensure cables are secure; connect power and network

Reminder

Some low-power targets may draw power via the dual-headed USB cable and enter a bad state before external power is applied. If so, cut the red 5V wire inside the dual-headed USB cable.
