System Startup Precautions
Important: It is recommended to complete system configuration (WIFI, SSH, screen, etc.) before the first system startup to avoid reconfiguration issues after booting.
For detailed configuration guidance, please see: System Configuration Options Description
To ensure stable device operation, please strictly adhere to the following power requirements:
Basic Requirements:
- For the first startup and subsequent use, always use a power adapter with at least 5V 2A
- Some computer USB ports may not meet this standard; it is recommended to use an independent power adapter
First Startup Recommendations:
- For the first system startup, use a 5V 2A power adapter
- Do not connect an external display during startup; connect it only after the system has fully booted
- If using FPC, disconnect power before connecting
System Expansion Considerations:
- The system expansion process has high requirements for power supply stability
- Insufficient power may cause device instability or expansion failure
- Use a 5V 2A or higher specification power adapter during expansion
