Notes and version constraints
- Do not plug or unplug any device other than USB and HDMI while powered on.
- When replacing the fan, verify its voltage before powering on.
- The USB slave port is only for burning images and cannot be used as an OTG interface.
- Without at least a 12 V / 1 A power supply, issues such as automatic shutdown or clock throttling may occur.
- PoE is not supported.
- The touch screen requires a driver to operate.
- Connect the fan before powering on the board; connecting it after power-on can damage the chip.
