EC Series ARM Industrial Computer Learning Path：The EC series of ARM industrial computers has multiple series, each with different performance characteristics and hardware interfaces, and corresponding usage methods. Therefore, please refer to the documentation for the corresponding model for differences. This document mainly explains the use of general functions.
EC Series ARM Industrial Computer Learning Path
0️⃣ Preface
De EC series of ARM industrial computers run on the Ubuntu operating system and come pre-installed with three software applications. Using the gateway IP address 192.168.88.1 as an example, these are as follows:
Management Backend: http://192.168.88.1:80
Device management page for querying device operational status, network configuration, firewall settings, and other functions.
Node-Red: http://192.168.88.1:1880
Enables quick construction of business logic via drag-and-drop functionality.
NeuronEX-Lite: http://192.168.88.1:8085
Enables rapid connection to various industrial devices and achieves millisecond-level real-time data collection and processing. Default username and password: admin/0000.

2️⃣ Software Introduction
Management Backend
The device management backend is primarily used to query device operational status, network configuration, firewall settings, and other functions. The management backend integrates many pre-developed features (e.g., firewall, NTP, network reconnection, etc.). Mastering these features can significantly reduce the workload of secondary development. Therefore, please read and master the “Quick Start Guide” carefully:

Knooppunt-rood
Node-Red is an open-source visual programming tool that provides a browser-based workflow orchestration interface, enabling quick connection of IoT devices and data processing through drag-and-drop nodes. Node-Red is highly functional and has a vibrant open-source community, with thousands of third-party developed nodes available for free use, as well as the ability to develop your own nodes. Official website: https://nodered.org/
The EC series does not provide technical support for the use or secondary development of Node-Red. There are many reference materials available online; please refer to them as needed.
NeuronEX-Lite
NeuronEX is an edge intelligence solution for industrial IoT developed by EMQ Company. It deeply integrates industrial protocol gateways with a streaming computing engine to enable real-time data collection, processing, and analysis from devices. It supports over 100 industrial protocols (such as Modbus, OPC UA, EtherNet/IP, etc.), offering low-latency data access, stream computing, AI algorithm integration, and cloud-edge collaboration capabilities. It enables lightweight deployment via Docker/Kubernetes and is widely applied in OT/IT integration scenarios such as smart manufacturing and energy/power industries. Official website: https://www.emqx.com/zh/products/neuronex
NeuronEX-Lite is a lightweight industrial edge computing solution customized by EMQ for Zongheng Intelligent Control. Compared to the standard version of NeuronEX, this version simplifies support for some high-end industrial protocols, significantly reducing deployment costs while maintaining core data collection and processing capabilities, providing a more cost-effective option for small and medium-sized industrial scenarios. For differences in protocols supported by NeuronEX-Lite and NeuronEX, please refer to the attachment.
NeuronEX-Lite requires a license for use. For inquiries regarding license purchases, please contact our customer service team. If the NeuronEX-Lite protocol does not meet your requirements, you may also contact us to upgrade to the standard version of NeuronEX for a fee.
3️⃣ Open System Permissions
To support developers’ innovation needs, after rigorous evaluation, EC series products have decided to open system permissions to users with R&D capabilities. This feature will provide greater flexibility for secondary development, but please note the following important matters:
1. Permission Usage Guidelines
The opening of system permissions means that users can obtain system-level control capabilities. We recommend:
⚠️Only users with system development experience should use this feature
⚠️ Fully understand the Linux system permission management mechanism
⚠️ Ensure you are aware of potential issues and the consequences of incorrect operations before proceeding
2. Technical Support Scope Explanation
Considering system integrity:
✅ We continue to provide standard technical support for original system functions
❎ We cannot provide free repair services for system failures caused by Root permission operations
❎We are not responsible for compatibility issues arising from secondary development due to permission changes
We are committed to finding the optimal balance between technological innovation and system security. For professional development support, please contact our technical advisory team to obtain value-added service solutions.
Please read the above important matters carefully and fully understand them before entering “WOTONGYI” (I agree) in Yuque to obtain Root permissions and passwords.
