Hello @hatien !
How do you try to access the X20 Edge?

Dear Andreas,

I use X20EDS410 image and put it the qemu to run it.

Hello @hatien !
I’m not an export regarding the qemu emulation, looks like you have some permission problems? Better to try it with real HW.

Dear Andreas,

I want to try it out before buying real hardware.

Thanks!

Hello!

Why do you want to try the X20Edge image in simulation/emulation? I can imagine that what might be interesting for you to try are the tools that come with it such as the IIoT connector, am I right?

I do not have the X20Edge hardware (yet) but I managed to install and try the IIoT connector using a Linux virtual machine in my PC and also on a Raspberry Pi (with Raspbian OS). In both cases it worked just fine!

@hatien a few general Linux fixes to try:

  • Reboot and try again: sudo reboot
  • Remount your root directory as “read/write”: sudo mount -o remount,rw /
  • Update permissions on shadow file (the file that stores user passwords on the Linux system): sudo chmod 0640 /etc/shadow

Dear Rafael Laury,

Thanks for your guidance! I did log in and changed the admin password.
