How to login with SSH for the first time without having display

I got a vicharak Vaaman SBC but I am not able to acess it as I don’t have any external monitor to connect

Hey @iamtushar,

Here, you can find steps to connect vaaman without internet.

Prerequisites

  • Attached Antenna with Wifi

Steps

  1. Press Recovery Key for 4-5 seconds located at nearby 3.5 mm Audio Jack which turn on Vaaman’s internal hotspot with ip 10.9.8.7

  1. Now, You can find VaamanHost WiFi in another device that can be mobile or laptop. ( WiFi Password : 12345678 )

  2. Make sure, you have installed ssh in another device.

  3. Now, To connect, Run below command :point_down:

ssh vicharak@10.9.8.7

Type, yes to connect, and the Vaaman’s default Password is 12345

You can also access Vaaman in Mobile using termux application.

  1. Download termux application.
  2. Run ssh vicharak@10.9.8.7

If the above does not work,
You need to flash a new EMMC 11_02_2025 image from the below link:

@Avi_Shihora
I sucessfully got into the recovery mode but on ssh i am getting below response

ssh: connect to host 10.9.8.7 port 22: Connection refused

I hope, you are connected to VaamanHost Wifi.

Yes I am connected to VaamanHost

There might be a chance, that Vaaman’s internal ssh service is not active properly.
Try first to restart the board,
Then when you get blinked blue lights on Vaaman, after a few seconds,
Again Press the recovery button to turn on the hotspot.

Still, it does not work, We recommend flashinga new image.
