This readme explains the steps required to make an initial connection with the SoM-9260M module. It assumes that an SoM-150ES carrier board is used with the board. An initial connection may be made through the serial console or via Ethernet. This file will be replaced by more formal documentation after release. o Jumper settings: Make sure that JB1 and JB2 boot mode jumpers are in the DBI and NFE positions. o Serial connections: The serial console for Linux is located on Serial 3 / COM A on the SoM-150ES carrier. Use the EMAC 10-pin header to male DB9 adapter cable to connect a NULL modem serial cable between the development PC and the carrier board. The serial settings are: 115200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no hardware or software flow control. When the board is powered on, data will be printed to the serial connection throughout the boot process. After the board has finished booting a login prompt will be displayed on the serial terminal. o Ethernet connections: The SoM-9260M will attempt to obtain an IP address via DHCP on system boot by default. If DHCP fails, the board will fall back to the following static settings: IP address 10.0.2.41, Subnetwork Address 255.255.255.0, Gateway 10.0.2.1. The board can be configured to use a static IP address by editing the file /etc/network/interfaces. The default fall back settings can be changed by editing the file /etc/udhcpc.d/default.leasefail. The default build listens for Ethernet connections over SSH, Telnet, FTP, and HTTP. SSH is the recommended connection method because it is encrypted, but Telnet may be used if necessary. EMAC recommends that Telnet and FTP be disabled in favor of SSH and SCP if at all possible. o Login: After establishing a connection via Ethernet or Serial, a login prompt will be displayed. Login as: user - root password - emac_inc EMAC recommends changing the default root password immediately using the passwd command for security purposes. o Contact: If you have any questions or difficulties with the SoM-9260M, contact EMAC technical support at http://www.emacinc.com/support or 618-529-4525.
