You can telnet in over Wi-Fi or connect to the serial console over USB. We're working to publish the full kernel sources for the device, though it is some effort. In the meantime, because the device is based on the well known Marvell PX168 (a.k.a. Aspen) part, you may be able to use some public Linux distributions.</p>

It's completely free and you basically code right in the browser. I then advise you read the documentation for the API, which since this is a beginner-level device, should be fairly simple.</p>

We had a server running at the backend and talking to the Create through Http request. The communication was set up within 50 seconds. Saved us a lot of trouble!</p>
