Electronic components and circuits are very sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Although our
company designs anti-static protection for the main interfaces on the card when designing circuit
board products, it is difficult to achieve anti-static safety protection for all components and circuits.
Therefore, it is recommended to observe anti-static safety precautions when handling any circuit
board component (including Z603). Anti-static safety protection measures include, but are not limited
to the following:
a) The smart box should be placed in an anti-static bag during transportation and storage, and then
the board should not be taken out during installation and deployment.
b) Before touching the smart box, discharge the static electricity stored in the body: wear a
discharge grounding wrist strap.
c) Operate the smart box only within the safe area of the electrostatic discharge point.
d) Avoid moving smart boxes in carpeted areas.

Software version supporting instructions
Z603 is a complete product with Jetson Nano/Xavier NX/TX2 NX module as the core. Provide
developers with one-stop terminal equipment to assist developers in application development.
Z603 Feiyun Smart Box supporting software includes:
- L4T (Linux for Tegra): L4T provides "OS" for your Feiyun Smart Box, including Linux kernel, boot
loader, board support package (BSP) and sample file system. (By default, the pure system has been
installed for the device, Jetpack needs to be installed by itself)
- Jetpack: Jetpack sdk is the most comprehensive solution for building AI applications. It includes
software libraries and apis, examples, developer tools and documentation for the latest and previous
versions of Jetson products.
1 use
1.1 Smart box power on and start
a) Make sure that the voltage of all external systems is turned off
b) Install the Jetson Nano/Xavier NX/TX2 NX core module to the 260-pin SO-DIMM
connector.Please pay attention to the alignment between the connectors during the installation process,
and install the fixing screws at the same time.
c) Install necessary external cables. (Such as: the display cable connected to the HDMI monitor, the
power input cable to power the system, the USB cable connected to the keyboard and mouse...)
d) Connect the power cord to the power source.
e) Z603 adopts automatic/manual power-on design, turn on the power and the system starts to work.
f) For a system without a protective enclosure, after the system is powered on, please avoid moving
the entire system, and it is strictly forbidden to touch the circuit board and its electronic components
with your body.
1.2 Recovery Mode
Jetson Nano/Xavier NX/TX2 NX core module can work in normal mode and Recovery mode. File
system update, kernel update, boot loader update, BCT update and other operations can be performed in
Recovery mode.
The steps to enter the Recovery mode are as follows:
a) Turn off the power supply to the system.
b) Use a USB cable to connect the Micro USB(OTG) port of the Z603 and the USB port of the
Host(PC) development.
c) Press the Recovery button without releasing it to supply power to the system, keep the power supply
for more than 3 seconds, then release the Recovery button.
d) The system enters Recovery mode, and subsequent operations can be performed at this time.。

2 L4T（Linux for Tegra Abbreviation“L4T”）
L4T provides "OS" for your Feiyun Smart Box, including Linux kernel, boot loader, board support
package (BSP) and sample file system.
Z603 Smart Box is working on a system burned with the official original version of NVIDIA Linux For
Tegra (L4T). HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, USB2.0, serial port, GPIO, SD card, I2C bus can all be supported. But
Mini-PCIe, M.2, USB3.0, fan interface, etc. cannot work normally.
For all support of Z603 smart box interface, the supporting driver patch (BSP: Board Support Package)
needs to be loaded. Use the flash method to program the system. SDK Manager to install all other JetPack
components except L4T to make your Feiyun Smart Box up and running quickly.
For system programming documentation, please refer to "Xavier NX system programming instruction
manual"
L4T and BSP can be downloaded from Ruitai Cloud Space, and L4T can also be downloaded directly
from the L4T main page on the Jetson developer site.
Please contact sales for the user and password of Ruitai Cloud Space.

3.2 How to install Jetpack
Overview of process steps
Installing JetPack to your Jetson device requires you to perform the following steps:
1. Download and install the NVIDIA SDK Manager on the Linux host.
2. Connect your jetson device to the Linux host (Micro USB or network (same network segment).
3. Test your device can connect via ssh.
4. Use SDK Manager to select and install the required components.

Download and install the NVIDIA SDK Manager on the Linux host.
You must have a Linux host with internet access to run SDK Manager and refresh the developer kit. The
supported host operating systems are:
Ubuntu Linux x64 Version 18.04 or 16.04
Download and install NVIDIA SDK Manager.
sdkmanager Installation package：sdkmanager-[version].[build#].deb
The current version is：sdkmanager_1.2.0
sdkmanager install
$ sudo apt install ./sdkmanager-[version].[build#].deb
Connect your jetson device to the Linux host
Prepare your Jetson device for the following settings. (If the equipment system is not initialized, the
system user needs to initialize after power-on)
- Connect the monitor, keyboard and mouse to the Jetson Feiyun smart box device (please refer to the
interface description above).
-Use Micro USB cable to connect Linux host and Jetson Feiyun Smart Box (or network (same
network segment))
-During the setup process, SDK Manager will provide Internet connection for your jetson Feiyun
Smart Box via USB or network connection.
-Connect the supplied power adapter to the DC jack of the Feiyun Smart Box, and plug the AC
interface into an AC power outlet.
Test that your device can connect via ssh.
If connected via Micro USB, enter lsusb under the Linux host terminal to see the nvidia crop
The device can be accessed through ping or ssh commands
$ ping 192.168.55.1
or
$ ssh <jetson_user>@192.168.55.1
If connected via a network, check whether the device ip address is in the same network segment as the
Linux host on the Feiyun Smart Box, and the Feiyun Smart Box device can be accessed through the ping
or ssh command.
$ ping <jetson_ip>
or
$ ssh <jetson_user>@<jetson_device_ip>
