Using the System
This section introduces how to use the system, including booting the system, system information, and suggestions for using Dragon Q8B with or without a monitor.
Booting the System
Make sure the system has been installed on the boot media, then power the Dragon Q8B with a power adapter. After the system boots normally, the power LED turns green and the status LED blinks blue.
For first-time Dragon Q8B users, we recommend following the Quick Start guide. It provides a more detailed and complete workflow.
System Information
When you boot the system for the first time, log in with the default username and password.
The default credentials for Radxa OS are:
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Username | radxa |
| Password | radxa |
Using the System
This section mainly provides usage suggestions for users without a monitor, making it easier for them to get started with Dragon Q8B.
With a Monitor
Connect the board and monitor using HDMI or a dual-ended USB-C cable. If the system boots normally, the monitor displays the system interface. You can then operate Radxa OS with the monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
Without a Monitor
For users without a monitor, you can operate the system through Serial Port Login and SSH Login.
This method uses command-line interaction and is suitable for users with some development experience.
