1. Prepare

1.1. Hardware
• Chipsee Industrial Embedded Computer
• 6V ~ 36V Power Adapter (7”) / 15V ~ 36V Power Adapter(10” and other bigger
size)
• USB to serial cable or other serial debug cable
• TF Card( at least 4GB)
You need to prepare the Power Adapter by yourself. 7” products need a 6V ~
36V Power Adapter, 10” and other bigger size products need a 15V ~ 36V Power
Adapter. USB to serial cable is used to debug the Chipsee Industrial Embedded
Computer. The TF card is used to make bootable card and reflash the system.
1.2. Software
• Prebuilt Images Package
• Xshell or other terminal emulation software
• Cross-toolchain
• VNC-Viewer
You can use the Prebuilt Images Package to reflash the system. You can find
it in DVD/Debian8.10/Prebuilts directory. You can use Xshell to debug Chipsee
Industrial Embedded Computer in Windows. You can use VNC-Viewer to remote
control Chipsee Industrial Embedded over Ethernet. The cross-toolchain can
compile program for Chipsee Embedded Computer.
2. Debug
This document uses Xshell to debug Chipsee Industrial Embedded Computer, you
also can use other tools, like SecureCRT and Minicom.

2.1. Serial Debug
You can reference CAN+RS485+RS232 Connector in Chipsee_UxEC-Manual – V1.0.pdf
（such as 7” Chipsee_U7EC-Manual – V1.0.pdf）to understand the serial ports of
the computer, the debug serial port of Chipsee Industrial Embedded Computer
is the first RS232 port, you need to use RS232_1_TXD,RS232_1_RXD,GND.
Please reference How_To_Connect_Board_By_Serial.pdf to connect your PC and
Chipsee Industrial Embedded Computer over Serial cable. Setting the Xshell
like figure 2-1 and figure 2-2.
Figure 2-1 Add Session

Figure 2-2 Session Properties
Figure 2-3 Serial Debug

2.2. SSH Debug
Connect the Chipsee Industrial Embedded Computer to the Internet, get the ip
address. Then config Xshell or use ssh tool in Linux PC directly.
We will introduce Xshell ssh debug. First we need to add one new session,
like in figure 2-1. Second, we need to set the session like in figure 2-4.
Figure 2-4 SSH Setting

Figure 2-5 SSH Debug
2.3. VNC Debug
You can use VNC-Viewer in Windows to control the Chipsee Industrial Embedded
Computer over Ethernet.
• Use xShell Serial or SSH connect to Chipsee Industrial Embedded Computer,
login by chipsee. Use the following command. Note: user/password is
chipsee/chipsee
$ x11vnc -storepasswd
- -set password for VNC-Viewer access--
$x11vnc -display :0 -forever -bg -rfbauth /home/chipsee/.vnc/passwd -rfbport
5900 -o /home/chipsee/.vnc/x11vnc.log
• Use VNC-Viewer in Windows to control it over Ethernet. Like figure 2-6,
2-7, 2-8.

3. Downloading images
3.1. Booting switch configuration
Chipsee Industrial Embedded Computer supports the SD boot and eMMC boot, like
in Figure 3-1. If you want to flash the system, you can use the TF Card.

Figure 3-1 Boot Mode
3.2. Prebuilt file package
You can get the prebuilt file package from DVD/Debian8.10/Prebuilts. Like
prebuilt-cs10600u070v1-debian-emmc-20180410.tar.gz, the package has the
following contents. Like in table 3-1.
