This page guides though the first steps of controlling and operating the single board computer. To prepare the working setup connect and plug in cables first.

Voipac iMX6 OpenRex SBC is supplied with bootloader and Yocto Project Linux distribution preinstalled on microSD card by default.

Controlling the Single Board Computer over Serial Line

Recommended HW:

Recommended SW:

  • Serial line terminal (PUTTY, Minicom, Ckermit, Hyperterminal, TeraTerm, ...)


Default serial port settings:

  • Speed (baud): 115200
  • Data bits: 8
  • Stop bits: 1
  • Parity: None
  • Flow control: None


Controlling the Single Board Computer using TeraTerm:

Using External Monitor and USB Keyboard

Recommended HW:

  • External monitor with HDMI connector (HDMI to VGA adapter is required for VGA monitor)
  • Voipac iMX6 OpenRex SBC
  • HDMI High Speed cable
  • USB keyboard and USB mouse

Controlling the Single Board Computer over Ethernet

Recommended HW:

Recommended SW:

  • Telnet client (Telnet, PUTTY, …)
  • SSH client (SSH,PUTTY, …)
  • FTP client (FTP, Filezilla, BareFTP, …)
  • SFTP client (Filezilla, PUTTY, WinSCP, …)


Important notes:

  • iMX6 OpenRex SBC is shipped with empty password. The default login is: "root"
  • The default IP address is dynamic and setup by your DHCP server upon boot
  • SSH, SFTP services require root password to be set up (“passwd” command)
  • FTP, SFTP are recommended only for data transfers (binary mode is recommended)
