Headless Odinub Setup With PuTTY

What if we don’t have an extra keypad, mouse or screen and we want to work on Odinub?

There we can connect Odinub “Headless” on your laptop or Computer and we don’t need any extra keyboard, mouse or monitor.

How to connect Odinub headless

A “Headless” connection means you can connect Odinub with your laptop or Computer without turn off the main operating system.

Step 1: Required materials

• Odinub
• microSD Card
• USB to Serial Converter
• Jumper Wires

Now, if we want to connect Odinub headless we can use UART protocal.

Step 2: Download FTDI drivers & PuTTY

For the headless connection we can’t directly connect laptop or computer with Odinub for that we have to use PuTTY software. It is a software which will help us to connect Odinub with Serial Terminal or SSH. Here we will use serial terminal for headless connection.

For that Download PuTTY software from following link.

After downloading PuTTY just install it.

For USB to Serial converter we have to download FTDI drivers from the following link.

Now scroll down and download the setup executable file according to your Operating system.

And then install the driver by right click on the file and select run as administrator.

Step 3: Hardware connection

Here we are using UART protocal so we have to connect 3 pins.

Connection:

Odinub Debugger Pins USB to Serial converter Pins

GND 1Pin GND Tx(Transmit 5Pin) Rx(Receive Pin) Rx(Receive 4Pin) Tx(Transmit Pin)

Step 4: PuTTY settings

Now, Connect the Converter with your Laptop or PC.Goto Device Manager > Ports and check the COM port.

Now, open PuTTY and select Connection type as serial and correct the COM port and set the speed as 115200.

Click on open and login to your Odinub via your username and password.

After login via your username and password you will enjoy Odinub.

Other then this method you can use Odinub with GUI interface.
