Step 1 Plug the USB disk into your PC Launch tuxboot and select the RoBoard Lubuntu Demo Image ISO file :
Step 2 Select the USB disk and click “OK”
Step 3 Then tuxboot will make an USB boot disk with Clonezilla
Step 4 When completed, click “Exit”
Step 5 Plug the Clonzilla USB disk to RoBoard Plug also a MicroSD card to RoBoard Then power on RoBoard, press “F11” and select the
USB disk as boot device USB disk

Remove the USB disk when RoBoard is powered down Now you can boot into Lubuntu using the MicroSD card
Step 12 Booting into Lubuntu, you can login with ID:
“roboard” and password: “roboard”
Requirements MicroSD card (≧4 GB)
Here, we use 4GB MicroSD card for example
MicroSD CardReader Note: Since RB-050 has no VGA, we apply another approach (using a virtual machine) to setup the demo image.
Download VirtualBox Go to http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads Download and install VirtualBox on your PC
Download RoBoard Lubuntu Demo Image Go to http://www.roboard.com/download_ml.htm Download the demo image
Step 1 Launch VirtualBox
Step 2 Create a new virtual machine for Linux
Step 3 Click “Next”
Step 4 Click “Next”
Step 5 Click “Continue” and then click “Finish”
Step 6 Select the new virtual machine Click “Storage” and mount the Lubuntu Demo ISO
Step 7
Step 8 Click “OK”
Step 9 Click “Start”
Step 10 When you see Clonezilla boot screen, follow the two
steps below: 2
1 Right-click the USB icon to select your MicroSD CardReader
Select the first option and Press “Enter”
Step 11 Press “Enter”, and then “y” for two times; it will start
the restoring process
Step 12 Restoring… (15 ~ 20 minutes)
Step 13 Restoration completed; press “Enter” to continue Success message
Step 14 Select “Poweroff” and press “Enter”
Step 15 When you see the message below, right-click the
USB icon to remove the MicroSD CardReader and then press “Enter”
Step 16 Now you have made a Lubuntu MicroSD for RB-050 Plug the MicroSD to your RB-050 and turn on the
power to boot into Lubuntu
MicroSD card
Step 17 Booting into Lubuntu, you can login with ID:
“roboard” and password: “roboard” Note: the RoBoard Lubuntu demo uses COM1 as the
default serial console
If You Connect to Internet with DHCP Get RoBoard’s LAN number by doing “sudo
dhclient” (here is “eth4” for example) Note: you should do this step at the first Lubuntu boot
If You Connect to Internet with DHCP Edit “/etc/wicd/manager-settings.conf” Find and modify “wired_interface” as your LAN
number
Save and exit; then reboot system
If You Connect to Internet with Fixed IP Edit “/etc/wicd/wired-settings.conf” to correctlly
set your ip, dns, gateway, ...
For more reference, see http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ manpages/jaunty/man5/wicd-wired-settings.conf.5.html
Introduction In the following, we show how to login the RoBoard
Lubuntu demo via VNC Remote Desktop Especially useful for RB-050 Also useful for RB-100/100RD/110 if you want to
remote the VGA card
To continue, you should ensure your RoBaord has
been connected to LAN
Introduction VNC remote desktop to RB-050
VNC remote desktop to RB-110 (RB-100/ RB-100RD)
Step 1 Power on your RoBoard, and boot into the RoBoard
Lubuntu demo In Lubuntu terminal, execute “vncpasswd” to set a
new VNC password
Step 2 Execute “vncserver” to create a new VNC user In this example, we get the user number as “1”
Step 3 Execute “ifconfig” to find the IP address of your
RoBoard In this example, the IP address is 192.168.5.139
Step 4 Edit /etc/rc.local as below :
VNC user number
Save and exit; reboot system
Step 5 Go to http://en.softonic.com/s/vnc-viewer Download vncviewer and install it on your PC
Step 6 Launch vncviewer on your PC
Step 7 Type RoBoard’s IP and the VNC user number in format
“IP:user number”; then press “OK”
Step 8 Type the VNC Server password and press “OK”
Step 9 Now you can manipulate RoBoard via remote desktop.
Introduction In the following, we show how to login the RoBoard
Lubuntu demo via Xming Especially useful for RB-050 Also useful for RB-100/100RD/110 if you want to
remote the VGA card
To continue, you should ensure your RoBaord has
been connected to LAN
Introduction Xming remote desktop to RB-050
Xming remote desktop to RB-110 (RB-100/ RB-100RD)
Step 1 Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/files/ Download and Install Xming and Xming-fonts on your
PC 1
2
Step 2 Go to http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ download.html
Download and Install PuTTY on your PC
Step 3 Launch Xming
Launch PuTTY Type your RoBoard’s IP Select “SSH”
Step 4 Go to “Connection”
“SSH” “X11” Select “Enable
4
X11
forwarding” In “X
display location”, type localhost:0
1
2 3
Click “Open”
5
Step 5 Now you can see the login screen
Log in Lubuntu
Step 6 Execute “startlxde” to open X-desktop on your PC
Step 7 Then on your PC, the Lubuntu “home directory”
window and “panel” bar will appear
home directory window
panel bar
Note: that you may need to hide the taskbar of WinXP/Vista to see the panel bar
Step 8 Now you manipulate RoBoard via the remote X-
desktop
USB Camera The RoBoard Lubuntu demo supports USB cameras
in default You can execute “luvcview” in a Lubuntu terminal to
see your USB camera window
You Need RoBoard RB-100 or RB-100RD or RB-110 VIA VT6655 WiFi miniPCI card
+
Step 1 In the Lubutnu terminal, execute “iwlist scanning”
to detect your AP status
Step 2 In the previous screen, find and record the following
four items: ESSID (for this example, it is “3Com”) Mode (for this example, it is “managed) Channel (for this example, it is “11”) ethx (your LAN number; for this example, it is “eth3”)
Step 3 Edit /etc/network/interfaces as below:
Type your wireless-key here
Save and exit
Step 4 Edit “/etc/wicd/manager-settings.conf” Find and modify “wireless_interface” to your LAN
number
Save and exit; then reboot system Your RoBoard should connect to wireless LAN after
reboot
Step 1 In default, the RoBoard Lubuntu demo force COM1
to serve as serial console The serial console is useful for RB-050; But for RB-100/100RD/110, you may want to disable it
to free RoBoard’s COM1
In the following, we show how to disable the COM1
serial console
Step 2 In the Lubuntu terminal, edit
/etc/init/ttyS0.conf and modify it as below:
Save and exit
Step 3 Edit /etc/default/grub and modify it as below :
Save and exit
Step 4 Execute “sudo update-grub”
Reboot system
