Installing Intel® Edison pre built image

Bruno Dilly edited this page Jun 16, 2016 · 7 revisions

On this document you'll learn how to install a pre-build image on your Intel® Edison and access it via SSH or the Soletta™ Development Application interface.

Download Image

Access and select the image for Intel® Edison:
https://github.com/solettaproject/meta-soletta/releases/latest

Install on your board

After decompressing the downloaded image you have now two options using Intel® Flash Utility Tool or using the flash script.

Intel® Flash Utility Tool

To install using the Utility tool follow the instructions from its site: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/flash-tool-lite-user-manual

Flash with script

First you'll need to connect to your Intel® Edison via micro-USB. After that just run the following script as root and follow its instructions:

On Linux:
[host]$ sudo ./flashall.sh
On Windows:

Follow the instructions of the following site:
http://www.intel.com/support/edison/sb/CS-035286.htm

Booting Image

To verify that you successfully booted you'll need to access Intel® Edison via serial or USB.

Ostro OS does not accept SSH connection from unknown source.

Copy the host's public key into Ostro so it will know what device allows to be connected via SSH.

Accessing via serial on Linux:

Accessing via serial on Windows:

Then you'll be ready access Intel® Edison via SSH. (easier if you are going to use Soletta Dev-App)

Accessing via USB for both Linux and Windows:

Follow the setup tutorial for the Device and Host.

After the setup connect Edison via Serial and type the commands:

[edison]$ ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.15
[edison]$ ifconfig usb0 up

Accessing Soletta Dev-App

First you you'll need to connect your Intel® Edison into a network or via USB network.
With the connection in place, get your board's IP address by running the command:

[host]$ ifconfig -a

Then in a web browser navigate to: http://<BOARD_IP_ADDRESS>
