Before start

Before start, you need to know what hardware revision of your board. Hardware revision is printed in the center of the top side of the board. There maybe slightly difference in instructions on different hardware revisions. Usually the difference can not be seen in instructions, but if there is, we will note.

Main difference is:

accessories required

The radxa rock package come with the following items:

Powering on

Connect the DC to USB cable to USB power supply, plug in the cable to DC jack on board. The red led(under the power key) should be on, there should be the radxa logo booting animation on the HDMI. After a while, the green led and the blue led should be on.
