To ensure stable device operation, strictly follow these power requirements:
Basic Requirements:
- For the first boot and subsequent use, always use a power adapter rated at no less than 5V 2A
- Some computer USB ports may not meet this standard; using an independent power adapter is recommended

- Do not connect an external display during boot; connect it after the system has fully started
- If using FPC, connect it with the power off
