Open terminal on host computer to use Linux shell on Raspberry Pi hardware

Syntax

Description

openShell([mypi](#bt548g1-1%5F1%5Fsep%5Fshared-mypi)) opens an SSH terminal on your host computer that provides encrypted access to the Linux® command shell on the Raspberry Pi® hardware. When you are prompted, enter a user name and password. The default user name and password are pi andraspberry. This function is not supported in MATLAB® Online™.

Note

Executing the openShell command in Linux or macOS platforms does not open a new SSH terminal. The SSH terminal opens in MATLAB Command Window itself. Use the exit command to terminate the SSH terminal session.
