Connect to your display Connect to your display by using the HDMI port. 04. Connect your keyboard and mouse Connect your keyboard and mouse using the 2.0 USB port and a USB hub. 05. Complete the operating system setup System access credentials To access the operating system upon first start-up, use the following access credentials: User name: user Password: admin Note: for security reasons we suggest you change the default password after the first boot by opening the “Settings” menu and by selecting the “User” voice. ZED SDK download procedure To download the latest version of the ZED SDK for your system, you need to know which Jetpack version is currently installed. To do so, open the command prompt on your ZED BOX and enter the following command line: $ apt-cache policy nvidia-jetpack Command line result preview: nvidia-jetpack: Installed: 4.5.1-b17 ... In this case, your Jetpack version is then 4.5. Then, go to stereolabs.com/developers/release, click on the “SDK Downloads” tab and scroll down to find the corresponding SDK for the Jetpack version of your NVIDIA® Jetson™ system. To get started, learn more about the ZED SDK and start building apps today, go to stereolabs.com/developers 06. Connect your ZED camera Note: The ZED camera must be connected to the USB 3.0 port to be able to acquire data at maximum resolution and framerate. Install on a wall with brackets Screw the brackets to the case: Screw the ZED Box to the wall: Note: Screws for the wall are not included. Network access An ssh server is available to remotely access the ZED Box in case it is not possible to access it by using the graphical interface provided by the Ubuntu operating system. Linux command line: $ ssh user@<ip address of the ZED Box> The default password is admin. You can change the password after the first connection with the command $ passwd Add a new user You can add a new user with CLI the command $ sudo useradd -m <username> # add user and create the home directory set the password for the new user $ sudo passwd <username> Update/Reset To update/reset the ZED Box please follow the Nvidia online guide.
