This multi-color LED reflects the system status, and can be customized by payloads. ## LED status modes ### Blinking green The Packet Squirrel is booting. The first time the Packet Squirrel boots will take several minutes while it configures the internal storage and generates unique SSH keys. Future power-ups of the Packet Squirrel will take significantly less time. ### Blinking magenta / pink The Packet Squirrel is in first-time setup mode; connect to to start! ### Blinking blue The Packet Squirrel is in arming mode; connect to or ssh to to configure your device. ### Cycling red/blue/green The Packet Squirrel detected a USB storage device, but could not mount it. [Check that it has a supported ](#usb-storage)filesystem! ### Flashing red/blue The Packet Squirrel could not find a payload for this switch position. Set your Packet Squirrel to Arming Mode and make sure a payload is present! ### Other colors Payloads can configure the LED to many other colors and patters, check your payloads for more information! --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
