   Note:
   Please follow the steps of the update manual for system update. when entering USB recovery mode, the system will not start, and the serial port will not have debugging information output’.

lnstall system image

a) Connect USB type-A of Ubuntu 18.04 Host to Type-c of Leetop- ALP607;
b) Power up Leetop- ALP607 and enter Recovery mode(RCM);
c) The PC Host enters the L4T directory and executes the flashing instruction:

d) After flashing, power on Leetop- ALP607 again and log in to the system.

Switching working modes

After logging in to the system, you can modify the operation by clicking on the top right corner of the system interface, as shown in the picture;

Alternatively, switch by entering the following command in the terminal:

Xshell

Xshell is a powerful security terminal emulation software, it supports SSH1, SSH2, and TELNET
protocol of Microsoft Windows plaitform. Xshell’s secure connection to remote hosts through the Internet and its innovative design and features help users enjoy their work in complex network
environments. Xshell can be used to access servers under different remote systems under the
Windows interface, so as to better achieve the purpose of remote control of the terminal. xshell
is not necessary, but it can better assist us in using equipment. It can link your Windows system with your Ubuntu system, allowing you to operate your Linux system under Windows system. To install xshell, you can download and install it by searching Baidu on the Internet. (When the product cannot enter the desktop system, you can also use xshell to perform remote control and modify configuration errors).

open xshell.
