3-2. How to Download
PANZER has 256MB of high-reliability SLC NAND Flash storage onboard for holding
the core operating system and a limited amount of user and program data.
Because of this, it’s a good idea to kno ho much storage soft are ill take
before flashing and installing. Where needed, additional high-speed storage can
be added through PANZER’s SDIO bus of uSD slot.
Do nload link: http:// .mayqueentech.com/do nload
If you need eMMC boot image, please choose “installer image”.
If you need uSD boot image, please choose “runtime image”.
3-3. How to Flash – Windows User
Head over to the eb flasher soft are “usbit.zip” file at https://mega.nz/#!

3-4. How to Flash – Linux User
1. Prepare a uSD card and inserting the host PC.
2. After do nload the expected image, issue the command to flashing uSDcard -
“dd if=*.img of=/dev/sdx bs=1M;sync;”.
*.img means your expected do nload image.
/dev/sdx means the device node of sdcard hat your mounted. (ex: /dev/sdb)

•See the results as belo picture.
Debug setting on Linux OS
•Install minicom first
•Setting the minicom configuration

5-3-2 Debugging over SSH
This ay is a good ay to debugging, but customer have to do some configuration
as follo ing:
Step 1. config the IP address on PANZER Ethernet or WiFi interface.
Step 2. config the IP address on your host PC, Remember this net ork domain
ould be the same ith PANZER for debug easily.
Step 3. issue the commands to login Linux system on PANZER:
ubuntu@mayqueen~$ ssh [email protected]
root@buildroot~#
5-3-3 Debugging over VGA monitor
This ay is supporting if you ill connect VGA and a USB keyboard, then you can
debugging on PANZER directly.
5-4 Change the USB mode between USB Host and USB WiFi
According to Chapter 4.2, MayQueen have to analysis this function detail:
USB1: Default is po er off, please issue command using soft are po er enable if
you ant to use it:
root@buildroot~# echo 1 > /sys/class/edm/gpio/USB_OTG2/value
And in order to consider USB band idth usage, it can not both orks for WiFi and
USB devices in the same time, the 1st priority is USB devices, so if you ould like to
use WiFi funtion, please remove USB device first.
USB2: Default is po er on on hard are design, so you can use it directly, and
PANZER supporting USB devices and 4G LTE function at the same time, but
customers still have to notice the band idth usage.
