Chapt 2. Introduction to the use of the development board
2.7. Start the Orange Pi development board
1) Insert the TF card with the burned image into the TF card slot of the Orange Pi development board
2) The development board has a Micro HDMI interface, and the development board can be connected to a TV or HDMI display through a Micro HDMI to HDMI cable
3) If you have purchased a 13pin expansion board, you can plug the 13pin expansion board into the 13pin interface of the development board
4) Connect the USB mouse and keyboard to control the Orange Pi development board
5) The development board has an Ethernet port, which can be plugged into a network cable for Internet access
6) Connect a high-quality power adapter with a 5V/2A (5V/3A is also available) USB Type C interface
Remember not to plug in a power adapter with a voltage output greater than 5V, as this will burn out the development board.
Many unstable phenomena during the power-on and start-up process of the
system are basically caused by power supply problems, so a reliable power adapter is very important.
If you find that there is a phenomenon of continuous restart
during the startup process, please replace the power supply or Type C data cable and try again.
7) Then turn on the switch of the power adapter, if everything is normal, the HDMI monitor can see the system startup screen at this time
8) If you want to view the output information of the system through the debugging serial port, please use the serial cable to connect the development board to the computer.
For the connection method of the serial port, please refer to the section on how to use the debugging serial port
