This article describes how to log in to the Rhino Pi IQ9N Ubuntu system directly through an HDMI display and USB keyboard/mouse.

Power adapterDC 19V / 65W
HDMI cableConnects the device's HDMI interface to the display

Note

By default, the device uses MIPI-DSI as the primary screen. If no MIPI screen is connected, you must first disable the MIPI-DSI output before the login screen appears on the HDMI display; see Display Usage for the configuration method.

  1. Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI interface on the Rhino Pi IQ9N and the other end to the display.
  2. Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the device's USB TYPE-A interfaces.
  3. Connect the DC power adapter; the device powers on automatically.
  4. After power-on, the system indicator lights up, the fan starts running, and the display shows the system output.
  5. Wait for the system to finish booting and the login screen to appear.

FAQ ​

  • No signal on the display: confirm that the HDMI cable is fully inserted and check whether the display input source is switched to the corresponding HDMI channel; if no MIPI screen is connected to the device, you must also disable the MIPI-DSI output first — see Display Usage.
  • Cannot enter the desktop: confirm that the system image was flashed correctly; see Ubuntu System Installation.
