2. Basic operation
This section provides an overall description on basic usage of XM device.
2.1. Login and passwords
By default auto login is enabled and no passwords are required to start using XM device.
The root/administrators passwords are as follows
Under Linux there is one user per default. The user is ccs and the password is default.
This user has administrator rights by using the sudo approach.
Under Windows there are two users per default. The Windows default administrator user
Administrator with the password CCpilotXM and the user Operator which does not
have any password. The Operator user has administrator rights and automatic login
enabled by default.
Custom users can be added with the tools from respective operating system.
2.1.1. Serial console login (Linux)
By default, the serial port can be used as a login terminal for headless access to the XM device. This
service can however be disabled, if a peripheral connection on serial port is desired. This is
specifically covered in chapter 8.5 Changing serial port settings.
Login service is using the same credentials as mentioned above for serial port terminal access.
2.2. Using the touch screen
Navigate the desktop or any application using the touch screen with a stylus or finger.
Tap the screen to perform the equality of a mouse click.
Double click is performed similar to using an external pointing device. Tap the screen twice
in the same place.
Tap and hold the on the touch screen to perform the equivalent to a right click.
There are two available USB profiles for the touch screen; mouse profile and touch profile.
The profile can be changed in CCsettings or through the CCAux API.
Besides the touch screen, keyboard and mouse connected via USB can also be used.
Touch screen functionality is only available in CCpilot XM product versions.
2.3. Keyboard
There is a virtual keyboard available to input letters and symbols using the touch screen. The
virtual keyboard can be used either via the mouse or the touch screen.
The icon to enable the virtual keyboard looks like this:
in Windows
in Linux

2.4. Calibrating the touch screen
To calibrate the touch screen, open CCsettings. Select Touch and then Calibrate Now. Then follow
the step by step sequence to calibrate the display.
It is also possible to launch the calibration application explicitly from any custom application by
calling the TouchCalibrator application (naming convention applicable per operating system). This
application also take additional arguments to configure the calibration method, such as number of
calibration points (5, 9 or 13 points) and edge distance settings of the calibration points. The 5
point calibration is the default method. The 13 point calibration can be used if the results of the 5
point calibration are not satisfactory. The available command line options can be seen with the --h
or --help option flags.
Touch screen functionality is only available in CCpilot XM product versions.
2.5. Software deployment
There are several methods to add your own software to the device. The standard methods to
transfer software to XM device are to either copy files using the network connection or to use USB
storage devices. To install the software, follow the instructions for the respective software.
Additionally, software can be deployed with remote access functions, see the operating system
specific parts in this document for more information.

3. Device start-up behaviour
At power on, the XM device has an internal microcontroller that monitors the power supply and
performs start-up configurations and power settings. It then supplies the main computer board
with power; from there the device execution begins, starting with the BIOS.
3.1. BIOS
The BIOS is XM device specific BIOS, which performs the initial setup of the main processor and its
on-board peripherals. Once finished, the operating system execution takes over.
During BIOS operation different startup options can be accessed, the BIOS can for instance be used
to occasionally boot from USB attached storage media by pressing the key F11. If other non-
standard BIOS settings are desired, access the BIOS Settings menu by pressing the DEL key during
BIOS startup. BIOS settings changes should normally not be needed and can be affecting specific
functions within the system, so any changes must be careful considered before applying.
3.2. Windows system start-up specifics
Once the Windows operating system is started, normal operating system steps are performed. The
Windows operating system is fully available as standard, with installed device drivers for all
hardware peripherals available.
3.3. Linux system start-up specifics
The Linux operating system, an Ubuntu LTS derivate, has two start-up modes, the normal mode
and the recovery mode. In the normal mode the root file system is write protected, meaning that
any run time settings normally done by the user are discarded after a power cycle.
To be able to perform system settings, the Linux system must be restarted into recovery mode. This
is done with the shell command:
# sudo reb oot -resc ue .sh
This recovery mode enables the write back mode of the root file system; in this mode a user can
perform settings that are kept permanent and the system works as the standard Ubuntu system.
The device can also be started into the recovery mode directly, if a keyboard is attached. Keep the
<SHIFT> key pressed while booting the device normally, then choose the recovery system from the
menu that appears.
The recovery system may be more error prone to file system corruption, it is recommended to limit
the use of this mode. Be careful and perform controlled shutdown and restart operations while in
recovery mode, as well as making sure the device has a steady supply power.

3.4. Status LED indication
This section describes the basic default status LED behavior. The LED is located in different
locations depending on the device type, see Technical Manual for details. Note that the status LED
behavior can be disabled totally and/or overridden by user software through the CCAux API.
3.4.1. Start-up sequence
During startup, the LED indications are as follows:
1. Flashing YELLOW at 1 Hz. Pre-heating is activated and in effect, start-up is delayed while
the device is heated.
2. Flashing YELLOW at 2 Hz. Device start-up phase begins.
3. Operating system is then started, and specific service software begins to execute.
4. Static GREEN. System is operational.
3.4.2. Shutdown sequence
Once shutdown or reboot is initiated:
1. Static YELLOW. Shutting down, rebooting or entering suspended mode.
2. LED OFF. Device is off
3.4.3. Suspend/resume sequence
Once suspend is initiated:
1. Flashing YELLOW at 0.2 Hz. In suspend mode
2. Flashing YELLOW at 2 Hz. Resuming operation
3. Static GREEN. System is operational.
3.4.4. Error indication
There are two different types of error indications available from the status LED:
Flashing RED –An occasional three RED blinks during startup indicates an internal error
that is recoverable, i.e. the system can continue its execution and normal operation. Error
code can be retrieved trough the CCAux API, since the status LED will follow its normal
status indication scheme.
Flashing BLUE –The device becomes non-operational, and seems to be dead, despite
powered on. A number of BLUE LED blinks should be displayed. Record the number of
blinks, as this can be useful in an eventual support contact.
Reason for BLUE LED blinking could be voltage levels out of range, temperature related problems
or internal hardware errors. First steps should be to let device cool off, and verify it has correct
power supply attached, before starting the device again.
