A13 som itself has no direct way of connecting an olimex display with or without touchscreen component using a display without a13 som wifi is possible via cables but hard to accomplish and impractical it is recommended to try to use a display only if you also have a13 som wifi at your disposal 15

Connecting and calibrating a display 15
Following web page for more information http linux sunxi org fex_guide more information on script editing might be found in the following wiki artice fex edit 15
Newer displays made by olimex have both 0 and 0 5 step connectors so if you are going to need only the display and a cable sold separately 15
The cable used for connection depends on the specific board you are using and more specifically it depends on the pitch of the lcd connector of the board we have two cables both 40 pins ones but one for the bigger pitch 0 and the other for the smaller one 0 5 each of the displays listed in the table above has two connectors suitable for both cables 15
The displays recommended for the board at the moment of writing might be found in the table below 15
The displays whose names contain ts include a resistive touch screen component 15
The typical a13 som user would not need to edit the files however 15
Unlike other olimex allwinner boards the a13 som lacks a row of pins that allows the user to connect a display out of the box the board s lcd_tr connector is female and has a smaller 0 5 step this means that if you use a display made by olimex you would need additional 2 20 male male 0 5 header to convert the female connector to male the 0 5 headers are somehow hard to find so we sell them here 0 5 step connectors there is also something very important to notice since a stand alone a13 som gets powered by 3 v this means that you will not be able to power the display via the board the olimex made displays require 5v of voltage you would need to power the display externally 15

Power pins for external power supply 25
Sd mmc slot 25
Sd mmc slot is a microsd card slot connector located on the top of the board 25
The required current may vary depending on the peripherals connected to the board the power supply should be capable of providing at least 0 a of current 25
The schematic related to the sd mmc microsd connector is shown below 25
The table with the microsd card signals might be found below 25
There are two power pins suitable for powering the board these are located on different places of a13 som one at the uart1 connector the other on gpio1 connector to power the board you need to provide 3 v to one of them you can use any of the pins or the pinholes named gnd 25
This slot is typically used for booting the os due to the larger capacities of the microsd cards compared to sd or mmc cards it is suggested to have an sd card with a proper linux android image especially if you have ordered a version of the board without nand memory it is also recommended to use class 10 10mbyte sec card for faster read write operations lower class cards especially higher capacity ones might slow down the whole system 25

Olimex 2015 a13 som user s manual 27
Olimex sells additional and replacement male and female 0 5 50 mil step connectors we also have a female female cable named cable 40 40 10cm suitable for the 40 pin connectors 27
Page 27 of 36 27
The only power line at the gpio connectors that might be used as input is the 3 v one at gpio1 27
The rest of the power signals are outputs and it would be incorrect to try to power the board from there 27

Gpio 3 general purpose input output 10pin connector 28
Important it is a good idea to use a13 som wifi that provides a 0 step connector alternatively the connector can be used standalone but you would need to either use wires or male male connector and two different 40pin ribbon cables to connect an olimex display and the lcd_con 28

Please note that the smallest display 4 480 272 is not suitable for the official android images we provide however it can be used with debian linux 28
The biggest display 15 1366 768 or 1920 1080 is not supported by the a13 som design the core processor lacks the required computing power for a smooth operation 28
The pins used for lcd display connection are led out to a separate 40pin connecter for ease we have tested the ability of the board to interact with such a display these pins also allow the user to attach additional hardware check readings or perform hardware debug 28
