3.3 First Linux Boot
When booting with the default settings, a shipped board will boot to the eMMC. The eMMC by default is pre-
programmed with our default Debian 9 Stretch image. After Debian boots it will ask the user to log in with a
username and password. This uses "root" as the username with no password. This can be changed after logging in
with the command 'passwd' to set an account password. Note that this login will only work over the serial console.
Debian SSH defaults to not only disallowing password-less logins, but root logins altogether are denied.
From the Linux prompt, the hardware can be tested out or application development can be begin.

5 Debian Stretch(9)
5.1 Getting Started
By default, the TS-7100 ships with a Debian image installed and ready to boot. It is not necessary to download and
install the latest image below for operating the device. However please check the image changelog to verify the
running image.
The stock image uses a Debian Stretch distribution and Linux kernel version 4.9. The latest image can be
downloaded below.
ts7100-linux4.9-latest.tar.xz (http://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ftp/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7100-linux/distributions/ts7100-
linux4.9-latest.tar.xz) (md5 (http://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ftp/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7100-linux/distributions/ts7100-
linux4.9-latest.tar.bz2) )
This image can then be written to the on-board eMMC flash in order to be booted on the TS-7100.
5.2 Debian Networking
Note:
The first physical port on the TS-7100, socket T1, is given the name
"eth1", while the second port, socket T2, is "eth0".
By default, Debian Stretch does not configure any interfaces to be brought up or configured.
Debian can automatically set up the networking based on the contents of "/etc/network/interfaces.d/" files. For
example, to enable DHCP for "eth0" by default on startup:
