=== What is the WiFi module chip and can it operate as an Access Point? ===<br />
: The WiFi module is a RTL8723au and at the moment there is not much information regarding this module available on the internet but you can use it as an Access Point. You can view the specification for the module here: [http://dl.radxa.com/rock/docs/hw/ds/BL-8723RB1_product_specification.pdf RTL8723 module specification.] and the driver can be found here: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723au.<br />

<br />
=== What is the size of the board? ===<br />
: The size is 10x8cm (4"x3.1"), about 1.2cm (0.5") tall.<br />
<br />
=== Are both audio in and out on the 80 pin? ===<br />

This guide is designed for ROCK Pi 4 enthusiast. The purpose is to learn about the ROCK Pi 4 board as well as how to prepare and set up for basic use. The ROCK Pi 4 has two models, one called ROCK Pi 4 Model A and the other called ROCK Pi 4 Model B. When you get a board, you need to know what Pi model it is and which hardware version it is. The information is printed in the top side of the board. We will introduce the board information as much as possible.<br />
<br />
== What you need ==<br />
<br />
=== Necessary ===<br />
* ROCK Pi 4 main board<br />

== Starting the board for the first time ==<br />
<br />
ROCK Pi 4 can be started with eMMC or μSD Card. Now, you are presented with two options when installing your new operating system onto your ROCK Pi 4. <br />
<br />
=== Prepare ===<br />
<br />
* When start system with eMMC<br />
Insert eMMC Module into eMMC to μSD card converter board. Insert the converter board into μSD Card Reader, which connects to host computer. The picture below shows.<br />(add eMMC, eMMC to μSD Module and μSD Card Reader picture)<br />
<br />
* When start system with μSD Card<br />
Insert the μSD Card into μSD Card Reader, which connects to host computer. The picture below shows.<br />(add μSD Card and μSD Card Reader picture)<br />
<br />
=== Write Image ===<br />
<br />
* Download the flash tool, etcher, from [[rockpi4/downloads | Downloads]]. Choose the right version for your host operation system. Here we operate on host Ubuntu 16.04.<br />
<br />
* After unpacking the package, we run the tool by executing the command<br />
<br />
$ ./etcher-etcher-electron-1.4.5-x86_64.AppImage<br />
<br />
If you get an error message: "No polkit authentication agent found" you can try and start it with sudo, but do know that this is running the tool as '''root'''.<br />
<br />
* In the etcher window, click '''Select image'''.<br />
<br />
[[File:linux_etcher_select_image.png]]<br />
<br />
* In the etcher window, click '''Select Drive'''.<br />
<br />
[[File:linux_etcher_select_driver.png]]<br />
<br />
* In the etcher window, click '''Flash'''.<br />
<br />
[[File:linux_etcher_select_flash_button.png]]<br />
<br />
* In the etcher window, once it shows us Flash Complete! It is done and can be put into the RockPi.<br />
<br />
[[File:linux_etcher_show_complete.png]]<br />
<br />
=== Boot ===<br />
<br />
* Now insert system storage media into the socket on board.<br />
** Method of starting system with eMMC. The picture below shows.<br />('''Todo''': add picture)<br />
** Methods of starting system with μSD Card. The picture below shows.<br />('''Todo''': add picture)<br />
<br />
* Connect the ROCK Pi 4 to your display with the HDMI cable. Ensure that the source for the display is switched to the HDMI port you are using.<br />
* Connect the USB keyboard and mouse.<br />
* Connect the power supply to the ROCK Pi 4. The board will begin to immediately. (You might not see the boot sequence, on Ubuntu Server you will see the login prompt)<br />
<br />
Wish you good luck!<br />
