1.1.4. Monitor. A monitor or display with native HDMI interface, capable of 1280×720 resolution (or marked

as “HD ready” or “720p”).

1.1.5. HDMI cable. An HDMI cable compatible with the board and the monitor.

1.1.6. Input peripherals. Like a keyboard and a mouse. Note that the board has only one USB type A host

connector exposed and only one USB micro connector exposed – you will either need specific keyboard +

mouse hardware (that uses only one USB host port), or specific adapter cable (to fit the USB micro

connector), or an external USB hub (USB splitter).

1.2. Preparation and boot

Once we have everything required we can proceed booting:

1.2.1. Carefully open the box with the board. The box contains only the board in protective packaging and

four (4) rubber feet.

1.2.2. Remove the board from the protective packaging and place the four rubber feet at bottom of the board.

Use the four mounting holes. If you have trouble inserting them straight, try pushing and rotating the rubber.

Some surfaces might use conductive materials and placing the board directly over such a surface might lead

to short-circuit. The rubber feet allow the board to be placed safely on a flat surface without the risk of short-

circuit. Here is a picture of A64-OLinuXino-1G4GW with the four rubber feet properly placed at the bottom

and important parts labeled:
