This guide is designed for ROCK 3 enthusiast. The purpose is to learn about the ROCK 3 board as well as how to prepare and set up for basic use. The ROCK 3 has two models, one called ROCK 3 Model A and the other one called ROCK 3 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.
