Subscribe to the Arm Virtual Hardware Amazon Machine Image. + 4. Launch the AWS instance. + 5. If you want to access the Arm Virtual Hardware AWS instance via ssh, at the moment of creating the instance you would need to generate a *.pem* key. + You could then access the AWS instance over ssh: `$ ssh -i ubuntu@`. + +Note that you can register to receive free AWS credits to use Arm Virtual Hardware from [here](https://www.arm.com/company/contact-us/virtual-hardware). + +You can find more information about Arm Virtual Hardware [here](https://arm-software.github.io/VHT/main/overview/html/index.html). + +Once you have access to the AWS instance, we recommend starting from the [quick start guide](../quick_start.md) in order to get familiar +with the ml-embedded-evaluation-kit. Note that on the AWS instance, the FVP is available under `/opt/FVP_Corstone_SSE-300`. -- cgit v1.2.1
