Headless Mode
Headless Mode refers to using the Radxa ROCK 4D without a display, controlling the board through Serial/UART, SSH, or VNC. This mode is suitable for users with some development experience.
Control Method: Obtain the ROCK 4D's IP address via serial debugging, then configure the corresponding SSH and VNC environments to remotely control the ROCK 4D through SSH or VNC.
