Activate SSH

It looks like ethernet is offline by default.
Connect a display and a mouse. Don't power off while it is booting for the first time. This seems to lead to corrupted configruation files.
The display stays black during booting.


Use the mouse to aktivate the netork in the bottom right corner.

You search the Tinker board from your machine inside your local network (in this example 192.168.5.0/24):
nmap -sn 192.168.5.0/24 | grep linaro
Nmap scan report for linaro-alip.home (192.168.5.155)

By default these services are 
nmap -P0 192.168.5.155
PORT     STATE SERVICE
22/tcp   open  ssh
80/tcp   open  http
3128/tcp open  squid-http
8080/tcp open  http-proxy
use ssh 
ssh linaro@192.168.5.155
#pass: linaro
Some default tasks: 
passwd

sudo su
cd
passwd

ssh-keygen

add ssh-key if you have one


echo 'ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEA0J27cGQDggf6/Knf0/cyXNygD27/fecpNR512Ko61YWDlJcJ3m1DWzFf2opLaXdNFhMVRIvlFbeEPUyNuVCpc01OeAh4sRQzJ4cLS7c07aSGtJP73tSa6hKZr4If1UckEVRCjjzA2lYKVrYhiS8jyvqshYBdjwC67vF6oThRP93H1jiA0yVUx+S+JkfLkbTqy7urXGbkCGbZ7CHjJfYvlMeCD1rQTgnIspmNJb0/PNSDQL1ErqOb7uEyPzAIZ3PvLl+OMAN0aWpeKeevZzm61JqzYOlGtBXhUvVyMOIqPDcIljI+dVcZeXSmz4kK5ff/Q27M1vfAhIqL5LbkB1fYkQ==' > .ssh/authorized_keys
