Yep! When you plug it in to your machine through a USB-C cable, it attaches as an ethernet device and answers to `ssh [email protected]`. You can also activate an http UI that you can then use to upload files with `curl --form "file=@\"$1\"" "http://10.11.99.1/upload"`.
I made the mistake in that post of not mentioning that I didn't want to be required to connect the rm2 to wifi, and installing a package manager would mean I would need to do that to install software. If anything it would be something I would temporarily install, use it to install rsync, then figure out how to uninstall it, and in my mind that's functionally equivalent to what I was doing with docker. Pushing to / instead of /opt was my mistake :)
I apologize, I could have better expressed why I took the path I did. I'll edit the post later today.
I used Adafruit for the USB micro breakout, and also a USB-C breakout. Their USB-C breakout had SBU-2 but I couldn't get it working (this was before I thought to flip the cable!). I bought the larger breakout seen in that post from Amazon[1].
> I noticed OP has a blog post complaining about Acer 720s having problems.
OP here - I've since been able to install 64 bit Debian on my C720, still not sure what the original issue was.
I also tried to compile my own C720 coreboot and flash that, but ran into problems. The X200 was way easier :) I may follow up with another C720 post if I get that working.
