Intel® Edison
Quick Start Guide September 2014
10 Intel Confidential Document Number: EQSG-ww29
3.2 Connect through RNDIS
Setting up RNDIS will allow you to access Edison using an Ethernet over USB connection. This allows SSH, SCP,
and SFTP to all occur over a USB cable. This method does not require a driver to be installed.
Downloads 3.2.1
In this case, you’ll need to install something with a SSH client such as Cygwin, Git for Windows, or Putty. In our
examples, we’ll be using Putty.
• PuTTY (or another COM Port terminal emulator): http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe
Initial setup 3.2.2
Set up RNDIS/Ethernet gadget
1. Launch the Device Manager (Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound and select the Device Manager
under Devices and Printers) and look under Network adapters for RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget. If it is not there,
right-click RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget and select Update Driver Software.
2. Choose Browse my computer for driver software and Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my
computer. Select Network adapters as the device type and click Next.
3. Select network adapters from the dropdown list of manufacturers, select Microsoft Corporation and Remote
NDIS Compatible Device.
4. Click Next and click through the update driver warning. The device should be installed correctly in the
network adapters list.
Set the IP address
To set the IP address, do the following:
1. Open Control Panel > Network Internet > Network Connections.
2. Open the properties of the local area network USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget.
3. Click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) in the list of items then click Properties and change the
following:
a. IP address: 192.168.2.1
b. Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
4. Save the settings and exit. This will allow you to connect to the board, which will have the IP address
192.168.2.15.
Connecting to Edison 3.2.3
To connect to the Edison, SSH to 192.168.2.15 with root as the username. If a terminal environment such as Git
Bash has SSH, this would create the connection:
ssh root@192.168.2.15
For Putty, the configuration would be to select the SSH radio button and enter root @ 192.168.2.15 as the hostname.
Because this IP address is statically set on the Edison, it will not be possible to have two Edisons connected over
RNDIS without changing the static IP on one of the two devices.
3.3 Flashing an image onto the Edison
Follow these instructions to use a prebuilt Edison image that Intel has distributed.
