Monitor the Blue LED for the status of the Zymbit SCM module. The total boot time for an SCM should take approximately 90 seconds from power on. It will go through the following stages:

  • one slow blink: initializing the SCM
  • one -> two -> three -> four blinks: Supervised Boot is verifying the signed file information
  • rapid blinking: Supervised Boot successfully completed, booting underway
  • blinking stops: USB bus enumeration found SCM; may stay off for seconds
  • one blink every 3 seconds: zkifc has loaded and the system is ready to go
Login via SSH

Once the boot sequence completes and the Blue LED is blinking once every three seconds, login either via the console or remotely via SSH. As shipped, the hostname is zymbit-dev and a user named zymbit can be used for login. The default password is zymbit. Please change your password once you login.

See Quickstart for SCM for more information on how to proceed.
