Ubuntu Image Changes

  • Hostname: "parallella." (notice trailing period) or "parallella.local", depending on your operating system.
  • IP address: The IP address will be acquired from DHCP. 10.11.12.13 will be used as fallback.
  • Username: parallella
  • Password: parallella

On first boot give it a couple of minutes to generate new SSH server keys before you try to connect to the board.
We advise you to change the default password like so:

$ ssh parallella@parallella.
parallella@parallella's password: [Enter parallella]
parallella@parallella:~$ passwd
Changing password for parallella.
(current) UNIX password: [Enter parallella]
Enter new UNIX password: [Enter new password]
Retype new UNIX password: [Enter new password]
Password changed
parallella@parallella:~$ logout

Thermal daemon (new!)

To ensure the system does not get too hot a thermal daemon is included in the new Ubuntu images. The daemon monitors the Zynq temperature sensor (XADC). Should the temperature rise above the allowed range, the daemon will shutdown the Epiphany chip. The default upper limit is set to 70C. Notice that disabling the Epiphany chip while another program is accessing the Epiphany is likely to result the board freezing. So if you see lockups when the system is under load this is a probable cause.

Installation Instructions

Download the appropriate card image below and burn onto an SD card using your favorite OS and method. Make sure you download the correct file. The z7020 applies to Kickstarter boards and the "Embedded" Parallella boards. Everyone else should grab the z7010 file.
