4. Debugging
Once I enter the debugging interface, what should I do?
- Drag your mouse to the bottom of the command box, and you'll see "Download cloud lab manual." Click it to download the cloud lab operation guide.
How do I watch the video after entering the debugging interface?
- Watching the live video of the development board will show its status and the indicator lights. Note that the video will automatically cancel after 30 seconds. To replay it, click the play button in the upper right corner of the video.
How to debug?
- Once the camera is turned on, the command line at the bottom will automatically enter the development board's serial port. Currently, all development boards use Linux 6.1.36 and support network boot.
- Please log in to the Linux file system as "root" during debugging.
During the debugging process, I encountered some problems. Can I restart my pre-ordered development board?
- Yes, clicking the "PowerReset EVK" button in the upper right corner of the command line can power off and restart the development board.
During debugging, if my pre-installed development board shows that the port is occupied, what should I do?
- Click the "Reconnection" button in the upper right corner to reconnect.
During the debugging process, I encountered a problem. Can I reinstall the system on my pre-ordered development board or restore the Image/dtb/ file system to its original version?
- Yes. Click the "Reinstall system" button. (This operation will take a long time, please proceed with caution. This operation will delete any files you create/modify during use, please save any necessary files before clicking this button.)
How do I upload /
download the files I need during the debugging process ?
- Click "upload files to EVK" to upload all the files you need during the debugging process.
Please note: If you want to upload test files to the development board's Network File System (NFS), you will find the uploaded files in the /home/root path of the development board after a successful upload; if you want to use your own compiled Image or dtb files, select the TFTP button.
5. Technical Support
How can I get technical support from NXP engineers?
- Users can ask questions and get help by logging into the NXP Community Cloud Lab section ( https://community.nxp.com/t5/Cloud-Lab/bd-p/Cloud-Lab ), or by clicking the debug window. The "Community Q&A" section will redirect you to the NXP Community Cloud Labs area to ask your questions.
