To SSH, you need to enable it. We disabled it by default for security reasons. To enable it, you need to boot up with monitor and keyboard attached and run these commands:

```
sudo fw_dir/scripts/remount-rw.sh
sudo systemctl enable --now ssh.service

```

Now SSH will be available using the IP listed in the WiFi menu. User and PW are both ‘music’

I have VNC working on the S2, but haven’t made a proper installer. You can run these commands to do it manually:

```
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install realvnc-vnc-server 

```

Now the necessary vncserver-virtual command should be installed. Then you can use this system script to start it. (put the Start-VNC folder in /sdcard/System)
