Introduction to the use of the development board
Prepare the necessary accessories
1)TF card, a high-speed card of class 10 or above with a minimum capacity of 8GB, it is recommended to use a SanDisk TF card, the Orange Pi test is to use a SanDisk TF card, other brands of TF cards may cause the system to fail to boot.
2)TF card reader, used to read and write TF card
3)HDMI to HDMI cable, used to connect the development board to an HDMI monitor or TV for display
4)Type-C to HDMI cable, connect the development board to HDMI display or TV through Type-C interface for display
5)Type-C to USB3.0 adapter, used to connect USB3.0 storage devices or USB devices such as mouse and keyboard
6)10.1-inch MIPI screen, used to display the system interface of the development board
7)Power adapter, Orange Pi 4 LTS supports 5V/3A or 5V/4A DC power supply, and also supports 5V/4A Type-C power supply
It is not recommended to use 5V/3A Type-C power supply, because the system may be unstable due to insufficient power supply. In addition, the Orange Pi 4 LTS cannot be powered through the 5v pin on the 26pin interface
8)USB interface mouse and keyboard, as long as it is a standard USB interface mouse and keyboard, the mouse and keyboard can be used to control the Orange Pi development board
9)Metal heat dissipation shell, Orange Pi 4 LTS matching metal shell is shown in the figure below, because the RK3399/RK3399-T chip generates a relatively large amount of heat, it is necessary to have a metal shell
10)If you don't buy a metal cooling case, it is recommended to add a 5V cooling fan. As shown in the figure below, there are 5V and GND pins on the 26pin interface of the development board that can be connected to the cooling fan. The spacing between the 26pin pin headers is 2.54mm. The power interface of the cooling fan can be purchased from Taobao according to this specification (the development board is plugged into the power supply) After the 5V pin can be used directly, no other settings are required)
11)Fast or Gigabit Ethernet cable to connect the development board to the Internet
12)OV13850 13MP camera, dedicated camera for Orange Pi 4 LTS, compatible with MIPI interface
13)3.3V USB to TTL module and DuPont cable, when using the serial port debugging function, USB to TTL module and DuPont cable are required to connect the development board and computer
