Hello,

To resolve the ‘Permission denied’ error when accessing your Verdin iMX8MP Plus module via SSH, please follow these steps:

1. Verify Network Connection:

   • Ensure that your Verdin module and the device you are using to SSH are on the same network. You can check the IP address of your Verdin module using the command ip addr on the module’s terminal.

2. Check SSH Service:

   • Make sure the SSH service is running on your Verdin module. You can do this by connecting to the module via a serial console and running systemctl status ssh. If it is not active, start it with systemctl start ssh.

3. Correct Username and Password:

   • Use the default username torizon and the password you set during the initial setup. If you haven’t changed the password, it might still be the default one provided in the Quick Start guide.

4. SSH Key Authentication (if applicable):

   • If you are using SSH key authentication, ensure that your public key is correctly added to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on the Verdin module.

5. Firewall and Security Settings:

   • Check if there are any firewall rules or security settings on your network that might be blocking SSH access.

6. Reboot the Module:

   • Sometimes, simply rebooting the module can resolve connectivity issues. Use the command reboot from the serial console.

7. Review SSH Configuration:

   • Inspect the SSH configuration file located at /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the Verdin module. Ensure that settings like PermitRootLogin and PasswordAuthentication are configured as needed.

These steps should help you troubleshoot and resolve the SSH access issue on your Verdin iMX8MP Plus module. If you continue to experience issues, consider reviewing your network setup and SSH configurations carefully.

How to access the SD card on the Verdin dev board?

We are running a Verdin IMx8m-plus module with the Verdin dev board with Torizon OS 6.x. We have tried different scenarios to access the SD card but the system doesn’t seem to see it. We’ve tried a the larger SD card as well as smaller ones with an adapter, but no joy. How is this accomplished? Thanks, Steve

Remote Control on Colibri iMX6

I came across this remote-display-linux for something similar which I am trying to achieve. I want to have a remote control over the module. I am working with Colibri iMX6 running Linux. Can someone help me with this? Thank you in advance.

Can't send files via ssh (IMX6ULL).

Hello @gowthamatg ,

Could you please share the exact output you get when you try to make the SSH access? I assume you are using Linux on a host PC to do this. Is that correct?

You might find some information about ssh connection in this article.

Best Regards,

Marcio
