connecting to loihi - abr/telluride-nengo GitHub Wiki

If you're using an Intel provided Loihi, speak to them about connectivity. In that case you'll want to perform the installation instructions on the VM they provide.

1. To connect to the ABR Loihi boards, talk to Chris or Terry to get an account.

2. From your laptop,

   ssh [email protected]

   You're now connected to the super host (192.168.167.211), which is interacting with two different Loihi setups, Nahuku and Wolf Mountain.

3. Add the ip address of the loihi to your hostfile. First edit the file:

   mkdir ~/.nxsdkconf
   echo $IP_ADDRESS > ~/.nxsdkconf/hostfile

   Where $IP_ADDRESS is 10.42.0.34 for Wolf Mountain or 10.42.0.100 for Nahuku, depending on which one you were assigned.

4. You can then ssh into the board you have been assigned to, if desired. Wolf Mountain:

   ssh [email protected]

   password: neuromorphs

   Nahuku:

   ssh [email protected]

   password: neuromorphs

5. From there you can monitor jobs on the chip by doing the following

   sudo journalctl -f -u n2driverservice

   This will let you see what the chip is doing (and if someone else is using it).

6. At this point you want to open another terminal to the super host (192.168.167.211) and follow the installation instructions, and then start running models.
