Device Manager

Device management is Workbench's core entry point for managing Pico-G1 boards. All board-side operations depend on the device being connected first.

What it does

Device management (DEVICE TREE) centralizes adding/removing/editing Pico-G1 boards, connection status, and multi-board management:

• View all boards in the DEVICE TREE zone of the left navigation
• Add/edit/delete board configurations (device name + IP)
• Show board connection status in real time (green dot = connected, red dot = not connected)
• Multiple boards can coexist; switch the active board at any time
• IDE internal components (Agent / Vision / model deployment / resource monitor) all depend on the device connection

Where to find it

Left navigation → DEVICE TREE zone

---

Adding and editing devices

Add a device

1. Click the + button at the top-right corner of DEVICE TREE

2. Fill in the dialog:

   • Device name (e.g. Pico-G1 / GK7206)
   • IP address (default 192.168.49.10)

3. Click Save

Edit a device

Click the Edit button on the device card (its position may not be standardized in v1.0.0 — refer to the actual UI):

• Change the device name
• Change the IP address (e.g. the board moved to another network)

Delete a device

Click the device card → Delete device → confirm again.

Deleting does not affect any data on the board; it only clears the connection record in the IDE.

Device connection

The IDE connects to the board over SSH by default:

ssh shimetad@<board IP>

shimetad is a preset user on the Pico-G1 board that logs in without a password. The IDE uses this account automatically.

Connection status

The status dot on the Pico-G1 card in the device tree:

Status dot	Meaning
🟢 Green	Connected, board reachable
🔴 Red	Not connected

Device card fields

Pico-G1
371 root 0:00                                  ← PID USER TIME
/usr/bin/shimetad_                             ← board-side service process
●                                              ← status dot

How connection status affects the IDE

Zone	Connected	Not connected
Right "Object view"	Shows the camera feed	Blank
Agent tab	Usable	Prompts "connect the board first (Agent needs board context to initialize)"
Resource monitor	Refreshes in real time	All 0 or "-"
Model deployment	Usable	Unavailable

---

Board-side users

The board has two users:

User	Password	Purpose
shimetad	none	Default SSH user for the IDE; used by shimeta-py / Agent / Vision
root	123456	Traditional SSH login; advanced debugging and system configuration

To switch to root in the IDE Terminal tab:

ssh root@192.168.49.10
# Enter password: 123456

---

Reconnecting (when a device disconnects)

If the board disconnects (reboot, network issue, prolonged no response):

1. The device card shows a red "Reconnect" button
2. Click Reconnect to retry manually
3. Or restart the IDE to let it auto-discover

Auto-reconnect

Auto-reconnect is on by default (periodic retries after disconnection). If it is off: Settings → Device connection → Auto-reconnect.

---

Multi-board management

Workbench can manage multiple Pico-G1 boards at the same time:

Add multiple boards

Add each board independently; IPs must not conflict. Suggested naming:

• Pico-G1-生产 (production) / Pico-G1-测试 (testing)
• Pico-G1-#001 / Pico-G1-#002

Switch the active board

The top of the central workspace shows the current board IP:

192.168.49.23

Click the drop-down to switch.

Reading device information

Device card fields

Field	Meaning
Device name	User-defined
Number (371)	Process PID
User (root)	Process owner
Time (0:00)	Process start/uptime
Path (/usr/bin/shimetad_)	Board-side service process

Board topology zone

The "Board topology" on the right shows the detailed SoC specifications of the Pico-G1:

GK7206
├─ A7 ×2         Dual-core ARM CPU
├─ NPU 1T        1 TOPS NPU compute
├─ ISP exposure  Image signal processor
└─ DDR3 256M     Memory

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Fix
Stays red after adding a device	Cable / wrong IP / board not powered on
Was connected, suddenly dropped	Board rebooted / network hiccup → reconnect manually
Reconnect keeps failing	Check that the PC can ping the board IP; check the board serial log
Can't find the board IP	Check the router admin page; or check ifconfig via the board serial console
IDE doesn't know the shimetad user	Board firmware version mismatch; contact technical support
Want to operate the board as root	In the Terminal tab run ssh root@<ip> with password 123456
The board IP changed	Edit the device → update the IP
