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

. 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.
