Hi all,

We purchased several of the FFC-6P boards for development. I've had one board that I've done the majority of the development work on so far. Now we have that setup as desired I went to update the second board we have to newer firmware so I can have an identical setup to the first. I setup the network connection and noticed it was using the older IP address. I tried to SSH into the device

ssh root@169.254.0.10

and was asked for a password, this is the first time trying to SSH into this particular board do you have any idea what the password would likely be?

Kind Regards,

Jordan

  • Hi JordanGell
    Following up on the previous reply, looks like you are trying to SSH to the wrong IP. The IP for RVC3 (newer models) is 192.168.197.55. Could you try that please?

    Thanks,
    Jaka

      Hi JordanGell
      Logging in as the root user should not require a password. Did you try leaving it empty?

      Thanks,

        Hi Jaka,

        Yes, I tried leaving it empty. The other devices we have allow SSH without password for the root user however they were both on the newer IP address. So I wondered if it was something required on earlier versions of the firmware / OS?

        Cheers, Jordan

          Hi Erik,

          My apologies I'd accidentally copied one of the commands I tried when trying to troubleshooting in my original comment.

          it's .55 I get asked for a password on .10 gives no route to host es expected.

          Command;

          ssh root@169.254.0.55

          Response;

          root@169.254.0.55's password:

          Hi JordanGell
          I think there isn't a follow-up on github, I checked as well. This is the only issue I could find on the topic.
          I'll ask around the office today so we can come up with a resolution.

          Thanks,
          Jaka

              I had tried that initially but was unable to get a USB Ethernet connection on windows. Tried it the newer model IP again now (on ubuntu) and I can SSH in without password. Thanks for the help!

              Hi ReemOthman
              You can SSH over USB as well, so you don't necessarily need a WiFi connection. Gdocs referenced above should have the required steps to SSH to your 6P.

              Thanks,

                Hi @jakaskerl

                Thanks a lot for your response, I've tried this before anything using the newest IP but it fails. (connection timed out)
                Do you have any clue what should I do

                @ReemOthman we used ethernet over usb rather than WiFi. Based on our experience if you're using Linux check the firewall isn't blocking the connection as this was one problem we had. Secondly if you are on the newest firmware we had to set the address manually and then revert to DHCP to get it to connect properly on occassion (also on Linux). For some reason the connection seems to work better on windows a lot of the time.
