Go to [Kit Assembly](/helios64/kit) to find out how to assembly Helios64.
|
||||
|
||||
## **What you need before you start.**
|
||||
|
||||
**1. microSD Card<br>**
|
||||
You need a microSD Card UHS-I with a minimum capacity of 8GB to be able to flash Helios64 image.
|
||||
|
||||
We recommend the following models:
|
||||
|
||||
- SanDisk Extreme microSDHC UHS-I Card (32GB)
|
||||
- SanDisk Extreme PRO microSDHC UHS-I Card (32GB)
|
||||
- Strontium Nitro MicroSD Card (16GB)
|
||||
- Samsung microSDHC UHS-I Card EVO Plus (32GB)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**2. USB Type-C to Type-A cable<br>**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**3. Ethernet cable (cat5/6)<br>**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## A. Install OS to eMMC
|
||||
### **Step 1** - Download U-Boot only image and an Helios64 image build
|
||||
|
||||
To emulate the internal eMMC as USB Mass Storage, special u-boot image is needed.
|
||||
Download the microSD card image from [here](/helios64/files/u-boot/helios64_sdcard_u-boot-only.img.xz).
|
||||
|
||||
You will also need to download an OS image to write to the internal eMMC.
|
||||
|
||||
Go to [Download](/download/#helios64) and chose one of the latest build.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! info
|
||||
OMV (OpenMediaVault) is only supported on Debian OS.
|
||||
|
||||
Armbian 20.08.8 and earlier has bug that prevent system to boot from eMMC!
|
||||
|
||||
### **Step 2** - Writing U-Boot image to a microSD Card
|
||||
|
||||
You will need to use an image writing tool to write *helios64_sdcard_u-boot-only.img.xz* to microSD Card.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Under Windows, Mac OS or Linux (via Graphic Interface)
|
||||
|
||||
Etcher is a graphical SD card writing tool that works on Mac OS, Linux and Windows, this is the easiest method for most users. Etcher also supports writing images directly from XZ files, without any prerequired decompression. To write your image with Etcher:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Download Etcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/) and install it on your computer.
|
||||
- Insert the microSD Card inside your SD card reader (microSD to SD adapter might be needed).
|
||||
- Open Etcher and select the *helios64_sdcard_u-boot-only.img.xz* image file from your local storage.
|
||||
- Select the microSD Card you wish to write your image to.
|
||||
- Review your selections and click 'Flash!' to begin writing data to the microSD Card.

yum install xz
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
after installing the compression tool, you can now decompress the images:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
xz -dk helios64_sdcard_u-boot-only.img.xz
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
finally we can write the images to sdcard using dd:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo dd if=helios64_sdcard_u-boot-only.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M conv=fsync status=progress
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
!!! note
|
||||
/dev/sdX is where the microSD is mapped in your Linux machine, change the 'X' to your corresponding mapped device. If you set /dev/sdX to a wrong device then you might risk erasing a hard drive or different device than the designated microSD.
|
||||
|
||||
### **Step 3** - Wire Helios64
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Under Linux (via Terminal)
|
||||
|
||||
**1.** Install picocom
|
||||
|
||||
Use apt-get under Debian/Ubuntu
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo apt-get install picocom
|
||||
|
||||
Use yum under RHEL / CentOS / Fedora Linux
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo yum install picocom
|
||||
|
||||
**2.** Connect to serial with picocom
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo picocom -b 1500000 /dev/ttyUSB0
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
To exit picocom do **Ctrl-a** then **q** button in squence
|
||||
|
||||
!!! note
|
||||
Using command _ls -la /dev/ttyUSB*_ you should be able the find the USB to serial bridge device used by Helios64. Under Linux the device will be named **/dev/ttyUSBx**, where **x** is a digit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Under Mac OS (via Terminal)
|
||||
|
||||
!!! Important
|
||||
For Mac OS you might need to install the FTDI driver in order to access the USB to serial bridge used by Helios64. You can find the driver [here](https://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm).
|
||||
|
||||
Connect serial using the *screen* command
|
||||
|
||||
$ screen /dev/tty.usbserial-XXXXXXXX 1500000 -L
|
||||
|
||||
To exit the session do **Ctrl-a** then **Ctrl-k**
|
||||
|
||||
!!! note
|
||||
Using command _ls -la /dev/tty.usb*_ you should be able the find the USB to serial bridge device used by Helios64. Under Mac OS the device will be named **/dev/tty.usbserial-xxxxxxxx**, where **xxxxxxxx** is some serial number.
|
||||
|
||||
### **Step 2** - Power-Up Helios64
|
||||
|
||||
Now that everything is ready you can plug-in the AC adapter and push the [Power Button](/helios64/button/).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using Helios64 without an enclosure:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You should see Helios64 boot logs on the Serial Console.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### **Step 3** - Log in
|
||||
|
||||
!!! note
|
||||
You might need to press **Enter** for the login prompt to come up.
|
||||
|
||||
**If system didn't auto logged-in. Default credential for Debian or Ubuntu image**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
helios64 login: root
|
||||
Password: 1234
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You will be prompted to change the root password and then create a new user account.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### **Step 4** - Check/Set IP address
|
||||
|
||||
#### Check IP address
|
||||
|
||||
By default Helios64 will try to obtain an IP address via DHCP. To figure out what is the allocated IP address you will need to type the following command in the console.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ip addr show dev eth0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Here the IP address of Helios64 is **10.10.10.1**.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Set IP address
|
||||
|
||||
If you wish to manually configure your IP address you can use the **armbian-config** tool.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
armbian-config
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Select the *Network* section:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Navigate to *IP* to configure your IPv4 address:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Select the Ethernet interface you want to assign a fixed IPv4 address. In this case we select **eth0** which correspond to LAN port 1:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Select *Static*:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Provide the IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway information that you want to assign:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Press **ESC** till you exit armbian-config tool.
|
||||
|
||||
You will have to reboot for the network settings to take effect.
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo reboot
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
!!! info
|
||||
You can also refer to the following Debian Wiki [Page](https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration#Setting_up_an_Ethernet_Interface) for advanced network settings.
|
||||
|
||||
### **Step 5** - Connect to Helios64 via SSH
|
||||
|
||||
You can now connect by SSH to your Helios64 to carry on with your configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is the example when we use linux client:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You can use putty as the SSH client if you are using windows:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## **What to do next ?**
|
||||
|
||||
You can use **armbian-config** which provides an easy way to install 3rd party applications like *OpenMediaVault*, *NextCloud*, *Syncthing*, *Emby* and many more.
|
||||
|
||||
Here an example on how to install software OpenMediaVault (OMV) using the armbian-config.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo armbian-config
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Select *Software* section:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Navigate to *Softy*:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Then choose *OMV*, to install the OpenMediaVault:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Wait the install process to complete:
|
||||

## **Step 4** - Power-Up Helios64
|
||||
|
||||
Now that everything is ready you can plug-in the AC adapter and push the [Power Button](/helios64/button/).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using Helios64 without an enclosure:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## **Step 5** - Writing an OS image to Internal eMMC
|
||||
|
||||
After you have powered-up Helios64, your computer should have detected a new storage device called _Linux UMS disk 0_.
|
||||
|
||||
Now write Helios64 OS image that you have downloaded in [Step 1](#step-1-download-u-boot-only-image-and-an-helios64-image-build) to the above detected storage device.
|
||||
|
||||
### Using Etcher
|
||||
|
||||
- Open Etcher and select the Helios64 image file from your local storage.
|
||||
- Select "Linux UMS disk 0" drive.
|
||||
- Review your selections and click 'Flash!' to begin writing data to the microSD Card.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Using dd via Terminal
|
||||
|
||||
Decompress the image:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
xz -dk Armbian_20.08.0_Helios64_buster_current_5.7.15.img.xz
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
finally we can write the image to eMMC using dd:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo dd if=Armbian_20.08.0_Helios64_buster_current_5.7.15.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M conv=fsync status=progress
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
*Replace the filename by the image file name you downloaded.*
|
||||
|
||||
!!! note
|
||||
/dev/sdX is where the "Linux UMS_disk_0" is mapped in your Linux machine, change the 'X' to your corresponding mapped device. If you set /dev/sdX to a wrong device then you might risk erasing a hard drive or different device than the designated Helios64 internal eMMC.
|
||||
|
||||
## **Step 6** - Power-Down Helios64
|
||||
|
||||
Power down Helios64 by long pressing (~4 seconds) the Power Button and then remove the microSD card.
|
||||
|
||||
Now the setup is ready for its first start, go to [First Start](/helios64/install/first-start/) page for further instruction.

|
||||
3. Setup serial port settings (Serial line : **COM3** and Speed : **1500000**), then press **'Open'**<br>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
!!! note
|
||||
The serial port detection may vary on different system, please make sure to check the device manager to get the information of correct serial port to connect to Helios64. Check this [link](https://tnp.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/172101-determining-the-com-port-of-a-usb-to-serial-adapte) to learn how to determine the right COM port.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Under Linux (via Terminal)
|
||||
|
||||
**1.** Install picocom
|
||||
|
||||
Use apt-get under Debian/Ubuntu
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo apt-get install picocom
|
||||
|
||||
Use yum under RHEL / CentOS / Fedora Linux
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo yum install picocom
|
||||
|
||||
**2.** Connect to serial with picocom
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo picocom -b 1500000 /dev/ttyUSB0
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
To exit picocom do **Ctrl-a** then **q** button in squence
|
||||
|
||||
!!! note
|
||||
Using command _ls -la /dev/ttyUSB*_ you should be able the find the USB to serial bridge device used by Helios64. Under Linux the device will be named **/dev/ttyUSBx**, where **x** is a digit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Under Mac OS (via Terminal)
|
||||
|
||||
!!! Important
|
||||
For Mac OS you might need to install the FTDI driver in order to access the USB to serial bridge used by Helios64. You can find the driver [here](https://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm).
|
||||
|
||||
Connect serial using the *screen* command
|
||||
|
||||
$ screen /dev/tty.usbserial-XXXXXXXX 1500000 -L
|
||||
|
||||
To exit the session do **Ctrl-a** then **Ctrl-k**
|
||||
|
||||
!!! note
|
||||
Using command _ls -la /dev/tty.usb*_ you should be able the find the USB to serial bridge device used by Helios64. Under Mac OS the device will be named **/dev/tty.usbserial-xxxxxxxx**, where **xxxxxxxx** is some serial number.
|
||||
|
||||
## **Step 2** - Power-Up Helios64
|
||||
|
||||
Now that everything is ready you can plug-in the AC adapter and push the [Power Button](/helios64/button/).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using Helios64 without an enclosure:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You should see Helios64 boot logs on the Serial Console.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## **Step 3** - Log in
|
||||
|
||||
!!! note
|
||||
You might need to press **Enter** for the login prompt to come up.
|
||||
|
||||
**If system didn't auto logged-in. Default credential for Debian or Ubuntu image**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
helios64 login: root
|
||||
Password: 1234
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You will be prompted to change the root password and then create a new user account.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## **Step 4** - Check/Set IP address
|
||||
|
||||
### Check IP address
|
||||
|
||||
By default Helios64 will try to obtain an IP address via DHCP. To figure out what is the allocated IP address you will need to type the following command in the console.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ip addr show dev eth0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Here the IP address of Helios64 is **10.10.10.1**.
|
||||
|
||||
### Set IP address
|
||||
|
||||
If you wish to manually configure your IP address you can use the **armbian-config** tool.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
armbian-config
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Select the *Network* section:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Navigate to *IP* to configure your IPv4 address:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Select the Ethernet interface you want to assign a fixed IPv4 address. In this case we select **eth0** which correspond to LAN port 1:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Select *Static*:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Provide the IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway information that you want to assign:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Press **ESC** till you exit armbian-config tool.
|
||||
|
||||
You will have to reboot for the network settings to take effect.
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo reboot
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
!!! info
|
||||
You can also refer to the following Debian Wiki [Page](https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration#Setting_up_an_Ethernet_Interface) for advanced network settings.
|
||||
|
||||
## **Step 5** - Connect to Helios64 via SSH
|
||||
|
||||
You can now connect by SSH to your Helios64 to carry on with your configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is the example when we use linux client:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You can use putty as the SSH client if you are using windows:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## **What to do next ?**
|
||||
|
||||
You can use **armbian-config** which provides an easy way to install 3rd party applications like *OpenMediaVault*, *NextCloud*, *Syncthing*, *Emby* and many more.
|
||||
|
||||
Here an example on how to install software OpenMediaVault (OMV) using the armbian-config.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo armbian-config
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Select *Software* section:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Navigate to *Softy*:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Then choose *OMV*, to install the OpenMediaVault:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Wait the install process to complete:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Requirement
|
||||
|
||||
What you need before you start:
|
||||
|
||||
**1. microSD Card<br>**
|
||||
You need a microSD Card UHS-I with a minimum capacity of 8GB to be able to flash Helios64 image.
|
||||
|
||||
We recommend the following models:
|
||||
|
||||
- SanDisk Extreme microSDHC UHS-I Card (32GB)
|
||||
- SanDisk Extreme PRO microSDHC UHS-I Card (32GB)
|
||||
- Strontium Nitro MicroSD Card (16GB)
|
||||
- Samsung microSDHC UHS-I Card EVO Plus (32GB)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**2. USB Type-C to Type-A cable<br>**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**3. Ethernet cable (cat5/6)<br>**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Install Options
|
||||
|
||||
Helios64 supports two OS installation options :
|
||||
|
||||
1. [Install OS on eMMC Flash](/helios64/install/emmc/)
|
||||
|
||||
Recommended if you know already what system setup you need.
|
||||
|
||||
2. [Install OS on microSD Card](/helios64/install/sdcard/)
|
||||
|
||||
Good if you want to experiment first and/or test different OS image versions.
|
||||
You will still be able to migrate your OS on eMMC Flash without redoing a fresh install.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** We will introduce additional install options in the new future.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are facing an issue, you can go on the **Armbian** forum to ask for some help. There is a thread dedicated to [Helios64 support](https://forum.armbian.com/topic/15431-helios64-support/).

# Install OS to microSD
|
||||
|
||||
## **Step 1** - Download an Helios64 image build
|
||||
|
||||
You will need first to download an image to write on the microSD Card.
|
||||
|
||||
Go to [Download](/download/#helios64) and chose one of the latest build.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! info
|
||||
OMV (OpenMediaVault) is only supported on Debian OS.
|
||||
|
||||
## **Step 2** - Writing an image to a microSD Card
|
||||
|
||||
You will need to use an image writing tool to install on your microSD Card the image build you have downloaded.
|
||||
|
||||
### Under Windows, Mac OS or Linux (via Graphic Interface)
|
||||
|
||||
Etcher is a graphical SD card writing tool that works on Mac OS, Linux and Windows, this is the easiest method for most users. Etcher also supports writing images directly from XZ files, without any prerequired decompression. To write your image with Etcher:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Download Etcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/) and install it on your computer.
|
||||
- Insert the microSD Card inside your SD card reader (microSD to SD adapter might be needed).
|
||||
- Open Etcher and select the Helios64 image file from your local storage.
|
||||
- Select the microSD Card you wish to write your image to.
|
||||
- Review your selections and click 'Flash!' to begin writing data to the microSD Card.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Under Linux (using dd via Terminal)
|
||||
|
||||
Armbian images are using XZ compression format, therefore we need xz-utils or xz tools to decompress the image first.
|
||||
|
||||
for Debian-based distribution (Debian/Ubuntu) you can install the utility using following command:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
apt-get install xz-utils
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
in RedHat-based distribution (RHEL / CentOS / Fedora Linux) users can use this command:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yum install xz
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
after installing the compression tool, you can now decompress the images:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
xz -dk Armbian_20.08.0_Helios64_buster_current_5.7.15.img.xz
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
finally we can write the images to sdcard using dd:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo dd if=Armbian_20.08.0_Helios64_buster_current_5.7.15.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M conv=fsync status=progress
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
*Replace the filename by the image file name you downloaded.*
|
||||
|
||||
!!! note
|
||||
/dev/sdX is where the microSD is mapped in your Linux machine, change the 'X' to your corresponding mapped device. If you set /dev/sdX to a wrong device then you might risk erasing a hard drive or different device than the designated microSD.
|
||||
|
||||
## **Step 3** - Wire Helios64
|
||||
|
||||
!!! warning
|
||||
Always proceed with caution when manipulating 110/220V appliance.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Insert the prepared microSD Card.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Connect your computer to the serial port with the Type-C to Type-A USB cable.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Connect Helios64 to your home network with the Ethernet cable.<br>*Choose LAN2 port if you have 2.5Gb network.*
|
||||
|
||||
4. Plug-in the DC power connector. **Don't power-up the Power Adapter yet.**
|
||||
|
||||
