Usage

Buttons

  • short press on the AUX button brings up the keyboard
  • short press on the Power button kill the application in the foreground

  • the aux menu lets you search for BT keyboard and switch USB modes

SSH

There seams to be a root password by default : even with "PermitEmptyPasswords yes" on /etc/ssh/ssh_config, you can't log in with an empty password. Simply set a new password with the passwd command it a already available terminal
