How to Get Started - SL2610 Dev Kit​

info

The available image is an Engineering Pre-Release of Torizon OS (based on version 7.5.0) for Synaptics Astra Machina SL2610 (based on Synaptics SDK 2.1.0).

Currently, Astra Machina SL2610 doesn't support Synaptics' usual flashing process using usb-tool. Therefore, you need a pre-flashed Astra Machina SL2610 device with U-Boot.

  1. Download the appropriate Torizon OS image from the Toradex Download Center.
  2. Unzip the file into a FAT formatted USB stick. Please note that the folder name uncompressed into the USB stick will be named SYNAIMG.
  3. Connect the USB stick it to the Astra Machina SL2610 board.
  4. Boot the board.
  5. Establish a serial connection with the board (e.g. using picocom) and login with the default credentials. The default password for the user torizon is torizon. You will be prompted to change it on the first login: 
    $ picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSBx
  6. In the U-Boot prompt, execute the flashing script: 
    > usb reset

    > usb2emmc SYNAIMG
  7. Create an account on https://app.torizon.io/.
  8. Go to the Hardware > Devices tab and click "Provision Device" to connect your device to the Torizon Cloud.
  9. Access the Torizon Demo Gallery and remotely deploy a sample application to the board.
