IMPORTANT NOTES
< Insert Board-X Important notes - Example Below - This section should be monitored by board maintainers. This information should be periodically updated. Please treat this section as a "News" section. Important notes should consist of thing you think end user MUST KNOW to minimize unnecessary support questions surrounding the out of box experience with shipped stock image >
- HDMI EDID display data is used to determine the best display resolution. On monitors and TVs that support 1080p (or 1200p) 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.
- There are limitations on the usage of the USB ports on the B2260 board.
<Insert B2260 Initial Start up instructions - Example below>
The B2260 comes preloaded with Debian Linux and can be up and running with a few simple steps:
- Connect the B2260 to your display with the HDMI cable. It is important to do this first because the monitor will not detect the board if it is connected after starting. Ensure that the source for the display is switched to the HDMI port you are using
- Connect the USB keyboard and mouse. Do not connect the USB OTG port to your computer – this will prevent the keyboard and mouse from operating. The USB OTG port is the micro USB connector on the board
Note: The above setup will cause B2260 Board to Auto Power up when it is plugged into power
- Connect the power supply to the B2260. The board will begin to boot Debian Linux immediately
