# connect to a comma 3/3X
A comma 3/3X is a normal [Linux](https://github.com/commaai/agnos-builder) computer that exposes [SSH](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Secure_Shell) and a [serial console](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Working_with_the_serial_console).
## Serial Console
On both the comma three and 3X, the serial console is accessible from the main OBD-C port.
Connect the comma 3/3X to your computer with a normal USB C cable, or use a [comma serial](https://comma.ai/shop/comma-serial) for steady 12V power.
On the comma three, the serial console is exposed through a UART-to-USB chip, and `tools/scripts/serial.sh` can be used to connect.
On the comma 3X, the serial console is accessible through the [panda](https://github.com/commaai/panda) using the `panda/tests/som_debug.sh` script.
* Username: `comma`
* Password: `comma`
## SSH
In order to SSH into your device, you'll need a GitHub account with SSH keys. See this [GitHub article](https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/connecting-to-github-with-ssh) for getting your account setup with SSH keys.
* Enable SSH in your device's settings
* Enter your GitHub username in the device's settings
* Connect to your device
* Username: `comma`
* Port: `22`
Here's an example command for connecting to your device using its tethered connection:<br />
`ssh comma@192.168.43.1`
For doing development work on device, it's recommended to use [SSH agent forwarding](https://docs.github.com/en/developers/overview/using-ssh-agent-forwarding).
## ADB
In order to use ADB on your device, you'll need to enable it in the device's settings.
* Enable ADB in your device's settings
* Connect to your device
* `adb shell` over USB
* `adb connect` over WiFi
* Here's an example command for connecting to your device using its tethered connection: `adb connect 192.168.43.1:5555`
> [!NOTE]
> The default port for ADB is 5555 on the comma 3/3X.
For more info on ADB, see the [Android Debug Bridge (ADB) documentation](https://developer.android.com/tools/adb).
### Notes
The public keys are only fetched from your GitHub account once. In order to update your device's authorized keys, you'll need to re-enter your GitHub username.
The `id_rsa` key in this directory only works while your device is in the setup state with no software installed. After installation, that default key will be removed.
#### ssh.comma.ai proxy
With a [comma prime subscription](https://comma.ai/connect), you can SSH into your comma device from anywhere.
With the below SSH configuration, you can type `ssh comma-{dongleid}` to connect to your device through `ssh.comma.ai`.
```
Host comma-*
Port 22
User comma
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/my_github_key
ProxyCommand ssh %h@ssh.comma.ai -W %h:%p
Host ssh.comma.ai
Hostname ssh.comma.ai
Port 22
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/my_github_key
```
### One-off connection
```
ssh -i ~/.ssh/my_github_key -o ProxyCommand="ssh -i ~/.ssh/my_github_key -W %h:%p -p %p %h@ssh.comma.ai" comma@ffffffffffffffff
```
(Replace `ffffffffffffffff` with your dongle_id)
### ssh.comma.ai host key fingerprint
```
Host key fingerprint is SHA256:X22GOmfjGb9J04IA2+egtdaJ7vW9Fbtmpz9/x8/W1X4
