This is an old revision of the document!
This document mainly introduces WOL. You will learn how to enable WOL and wake up through WOL. The first part of the document describes the usage under Ubuntu, and the second part describes the usage under Android.
Wake-On-LAN (WOL) is a protocol standard that allows your PC/Smartphone to turn on a computer via your local network.
The Mac address is pasted onto the back of your SBC:
If the sticker has peeled-off, you can use following Terminal commands to get the MAC Address.
On Ubuntu, type ifconfig
on terminal.
$ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 98:aa:fc:60:46:de
inet addr:192.168.1.142 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::9aaa:fcff:fe60:46de/64 Scope: Link
HWaddr 98:aa:fc:60:46:de
corresponds to your Ethernet MAC address.
By default Wake-On-LAN is disabled. So you’ll have to use the Khadas Bootloader Instructions (KBI)to enable it.
kvim2# kbi trigger wol w 1
If you want to check the WOL status, you can input:
kvim2# kbi trigger wol r
boot wol: enable
After doing the steps above, you can test the WOL function.
$ sudo apt-get install wakeonlan
$ wakeonlan 98:aa:fc:60:46:de
Wake-On-LAN (WOL) is a protocol standard that allows your PC/Smartphone to turn on a computer via your local network or the Internet.
Note: The operation of VIM2, VIM3 and Edge is almost the same, so this document will take VIM2 as an example.
VIM2, VIM3 and Edge are different from VIM1, as it supports the WOL-function.
Firstly, you have to connect VIM2 to your LAN, then get the Ethernet MAC address.
1) Connect VIM2 with LAN
2) Power off VIM2
3) Attempt to wake up your VIM2 on Android.
