Headless Quick Setup

In case a monitor is not available, IOT-GATE-RPI4 can be used with a host PC console terminal.

  • Use standard USB-to-micro USB cable to connect host PC and IOT-GATE-RPI4.
  • Plug micro USB end to IOT-GATE-RPI4's micro-USB debug console connector
  • Plug USB end to host's USB port
  • On your host PC, start a terminal emulation program (e.g.minicom on a Linux host) with the following serial port settings:
Baud Rate Data Bits Stop Bits Flow Control
115200 8 NONE NONE
  • Plug the power supply unit into an AC outlet. IOT-GATE-RPI4 will turn on and boot into Linux.
  • Use "pi" as a username and "raspberry" as a password as initial Linux account credentials.
