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.

Usage Recommendation

For first-time Dragon Q8B users, we recommend following the Quick Start guide. It provides a more detailed and complete workflow.

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.
