Trouble opening ssh server on Metis Arm-based Compute Board (SBC)

Hello,

I am trying to open ssh server in my Metis SBC board (with 1x AIPU, 4 GB of RAM, 16GB of host RAM and active cooling, Rev1), but right now I’m in the sh $ console with the “antelao” user, and whenever I need to run a sudo command, I’m asked to enter the sudo password, which I don’t know. 

Can you help me with this or point me to the right tutorial/guide?
Thanks a lot

Hi ​@Aimar.gnz !

I think this should help get you in with the default settings (then you can change them):

You can log in via SSH or ADB, but ADB is recommended, especially when configuring a static IP or renaming the connection because you'll need to bring the link down to make changes.

SSH login
Log in using as user ‘antelao’. The default password is ‘AxeAntelao2025’. The system also has a root user configured (username ‘root’, password ‘AxeRoot2025’).

Let me know if this helps 👍

What’s the project you’re working on, by the way?

Hi ​@Spanner , thanks for your quick reply, it helped. The project is about running local CPU inference using vLLM.
