2.4 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 Intelligent Device Platform, which is
specifically configured for development purposes. The preprogrammed image also includes a Wind River Qt Graphics
demonstration.

If your target board boots successfully, and an optional display is connected, the display will show the main Wind
River Qt Graphics Suite Demo screen. (Note: The main splash screen defaults to a 800x600 resolution.)

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). 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.

2.5 Activating your evaluation license

In order to evaluate the system, you must activate your license by following these steps.

1. Connect your evaluation host as per section 2.3, Connecting the Kontron M2M system to

your development host, on page 8, above, making sure it has an Ethernet connection to the WAN
Router.

2. Follow the steps in section 3 to obtain a license file
