+# <a id="egse"></a> Running OBSW on EGSE
+The EGSE is a test system from arcsec build arround a raspberry pi 4 to test the star tracker. The IP address of the EGSE (raspberry pi) is 192.168.18.31. An ssh session can be opened with
+````
+ssh pi@192.168.18.31
+````
+Password: raspberry
+
+To run the obsw perform the following steps:
+1. Build the cmake EGSE configuration
+2. Disable the ser2net systemd service on the EGSE
+````sh
+$ sudo systemctl stop ser2net.service
+````
+3. Power on the star tracker by running
+````sh
+$ ~/powerctrl/enable0.sh`
+````
+4. Run portforwarding script for tmtc tcp connection and tcf agent on host PC
+````sh
+$ ./scripts/egse-port.sh
+````
+5. The star tracker can be powered off by running
+````sh
+$ ~/powerctrl/disable0.sh
