ODROID Setup

Connecting to the ODROID

Connect the ODROID directly to the host machine with the USB-Ethernet adapter (no crossover cable necessary). Turn on the ODROID. The blue 'alive' LED should blink.

Go to Network Connections and create a new connection. Give it a descriptive name. Click on the IPv4 Settings tab and make sure to select Shared to other computers. Click Save...

On the host Linux machine, run ifconfig. Most likely, the network interface that corresponds to the ODROID is eth1. See that it has an IP address. Then, run arp. The IP address next to eth1 shows the IP address for you to connect to.

To SSH, run ssh -X [email protected], using the IP address listed above. The -X enables the use of GUIs through the X-Windows system.

Now that you are SSH'd into the ODROID using a cable, you can setup your wireless connection using nm-connection-editor. Give your ODROID a static IP address, and use Google's DNS addresses (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). This should bring your wireless connection up.

It may also be beneficial to reserve that IP address in the router so that other DHCP devices don't try and take your ODROID's IP address. You will need the MAC address of the wireless dongle, which can be found using ifconfig on the ODROID.
