N1SDP in Cambridge lab

There is an N1SDP machine hosted in a rack in the Cambridge lab.

N1SDP Getting Started Guide

Linaro employees can access this from the lab gateway machine, possibly using an ssh tunnel to do so.

Assuming that your public ssh key is saved to your profile on https://login.linaro.org/

ssh <first.last>@lab.validation.linaro.org

From there you can

ssh ubuntu@10.7.0.106

Serial console

The N1SDP has 4 USB serial devices but in general you only need to interact with 2 of them.

The first serial device connects to the MCC - Motherboard Configuration Controller

The second serial device connects as the main serial console.

In order to access a serial device, connect to the lab gateway as above then to connect to the MCC

To connect to the serial console

Rebooting

The N1SDP does not reboot cleanly from Linux, you will need to force a reboot by connecting to the MCC and using the ‘reboot’ command.
