Connect

How to connect to your brand new Kiwi? There are a couple of ways to do this and we do recommend:

  • Via serial: minicom for Linux and OSX, putty for Windows.
  • Ethernet: ssh for Linux and OSX, putty for Windows.

Serial connectivity is available via USB-C UART connection using a simple USB-C cable.


Putty (Windows)

Simply run the program, enter a COM port number, select the baudrate 115200 and click "connect".


Minicom (Linux, OSX)

Firstly install minicom to your host machine and proceed to the setup - minicom -s and choose Serial port setup, here you can change the default serial device that will be connected to, if it is not declared by a flag `-D` but the main thing you need to change is to turn off Hardware flow control and set Baud rate to 115200 If everything is setup correctly, run:

$ minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0

You can check your available serial devices with this command:

$ ls /dev/ttyUSB*

To exit from minicom press ctrl+a x.
