7. Deploying a board in a lab
Create a device configuration file
● Set a device type
device_type = beaglebone-black
● Configure the serial connection
connection_command = cu -l /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 115200
● Configure the PDU connection
hard_reset_command = /usr/scripts/pdu-reboot pdu01 08
Commands are executed on the shell, they can be anything
you can run (as root)

8. Deploying a board in a lab
Simple example configuration file
### beaglebone-black01.conf
device_type = beaglebone-black
connection_command = telnet localhost 7002
hard_reset_command = /usr/scripts/pdu-reboot pdu01 08

9. Deploying a board in a lab demo

10. Now it's your turn
You should have an instruction sheet and the
VM images, time to try it out yourself!
