ROCK Pi X > Getting started
Contents
This guide is designed for ROCK Pi X enthusiast. The purpose is to learn about the ROCK Pi X board as well as how to prepare and set up for basic use. The ROCK Pi X comes in two models, Model A and 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.
What you need
Necessary
- ROCK Pi X main board
- ROCK Pi X Model A or Model B
- One of the Storage media below:
- eMMC Module, larger than 16GB
- USB Storage, such as USB Pen driver, USB SSD.
- Power supply
- The ROCK Pi X is powered by Type-C port and has a wide range of input voltage, from 9V to 21V. The Pi supports USB Type-C PD 2.0 with 9V/2A, 12V/2A, 15V/2A and 20V/2A. Besides, the Pi supports QC 3.0/2.0 with 9V/2A and 12V/1.5A.
- The Type-C cable you using needs to support data communication. We call it USB Type-C charging data cable.
- USB Keyboard and Mouse
- With four USB-A connectors, ROCK Pi X can be equipped with a full sized keyboard and mouse.
- Monitor and HDMI Cable
- ROCK Pi X is equipped with a full sized HDMI connector. HDMI capable monitor is recommended.
- HDMI EDID display data is used to determine the best display resolution. On monitors and TVs that support 1080p (or 4K) this resolution will be selected. If 1080p is not supported the next available resolution reported by EDID will be used. This selected mode will work with MOST but not all monitors/TVs.
- RTC Battery
- RTC battery keeps system time and BIOS setting when the device is powered off. More detail of the RTC battery for ROCK Pi X can be found here.
