2.2 Connecting to a Host Computer

In order to debug or configure the device, you shall connect it to a host computer.

1. Insert one end of a display cable to the eDP/LVDS/HDMI interface of the Device and the

other end to a host computer;

The display cable shall vary with the interface to be connected, and adapter connectors

are sometimes needed. HDMI interface for illustration here.

2. Connect the mouse and keyboard to the USB interfaces on the Device for easier

operation;

3. To debug the Device, dial the OTG switch up (client mode) and insert a USB cable (Type-

A male to Type-A male) into the USB OTG port to connect the Device and the host

computer;

If you are connecting a touch monitor other than a host computer, remember to use a

touch cable to connect the touch monitor and IBOX66 to enable touch control.
