<p>
	Hello,<br />
	I would like to ask how to properly disable ADB on TinkerOS.
</p>

<p>
	I am using a Tinker Board 3S with TinkerOS (Debian 11 V1.0.7).<br />
	For security reasons, I want to prevent ADB from automatically starting when a USB device is connected, since this device will be used to run a custom application in a production environment.
</p>

<p>
	At the moment, I am disabling ADB by manually removing the ADB function from the USB gadget configuration:
</p>

<div>
	<div dir="ltr">
		<pre class="ipsCode">
sudo rm /sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget/asus/configs/b.1/f-ffs.adb
sudo rmdir /sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget/asus/functions/ffs.adb</pre>

		<p>
			I also commented out the ADB-related sections inside <code>/usr/bin/usbdevice</code> (lines 260–272):
		</p>
	</div>
</div>

<pre class="ipsCode">
# /usr/bin/usbdevice
adb_prepare()
{
        # usb_mount adb /dev/usb-ffs/adb -o uid=2000,gid=2000 -t functionfs
        # usb_start_daemon /usr/bin/adbd
        # usb_wait_files -m /dev/usb-ffs/adb
}

adb_stop()
{
        # usb_stop_daemon /usr/bin/adbd
}</pre>

<div>
	<div>
		<div>
			<div>
				Are there any concerns or drawbacks with disabling ADB in this way?<br />
				Is there an official or recommended method to disable ADB in TinkerOS?
			</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div>

<p>
	Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
</p>

<p>
	Can I apply power to the Tinker Board 3 through the two VCC5V_SYS pins on the GPIO Header rather than through the USB power connector.
</p>

<p>
	Hello,
</p>

<p>
	I am trying to connect an UART device (MCU)  to a TinkerBoard3S.<br />
	I have confirmed that UART1, 4, and 9 work correctly, but it does not work with UART0.<br />
	Is there any difference between UART0 and UART1,4,9?<br />
	I have checked the performance with baudrates of 9600, 115200.
</p>

<p>
	I assume that UART0 has CTS and RTS pins.<br />
	Therefore, I have set the CTS and RTS pins to not be used in the software.<br />
	I attached sample python code with pyserial module.
</p>

<pre class="ipsCode prettyprint lang-html prettyprinted">
<span class="pln">&gt;&gt;&gt; import serial
&gt;&gt;&gt; ser = serial.Serial("/dev/ttyS0", 9600, timeout=1)
&gt;&gt;&gt; ser.rtscts=False
&gt;&gt;&gt; ser.dsrdtr=False
&gt;&gt;&gt; ser.rts=False
&gt;&gt;&gt; ser.dtr=False</span></pre>

<p>
	Are there any other necessary settings?
</p>

<p>
	Are there any devices that support USB OTG for the TinkerBoard 3 Series?<br />
	As far as I can see from the specification page, there are no models that say they have OTG functionality.
</p>

<p>
	Currently, I am using the Tinkerboard2S for its USB OTG function. In the future, when this model becomes EOL, I will need to choose a device that has OTG function.

<p>
	Hello,
</p>

<p>
	I am new in Asus arena, I am testing an tinker3s board.
</p>

<p>
	I have much more experience in Rpi, ESP32, Arduino, microcontrolers, STM32 ...
</p>

<p>
	I would like to harden an Tinker3s like I do with other boards. I succeed to download debian 11 on SDCard and eMMC.
</p>

<p>
	update and upgrade have been performed.
</p>

<p>
	Looking at the forum I did not found expected informations, here are few questions <span>:</span>
</p>

<ul>
	<li>
		<span>Is there some online command to be used to prevent from using GUI tinker-config tool ?</span>
	</li>
	<li>
		<span>Is it possible to download light OS with NO desktop ?</span>
	</li>
	<li>
		How should be configured resolv.conf file ? Is it updated at each board reboot ?
	</li>
	<li>
		How should be set DNS configuration ?
	</li>
	<li>
		How should be set NTP configuration ? set-ntp does not work like if config files are missing. I set date &amp; time manually.
	</li>
	<li>
		How should be configured wire network (configuration file and interfaces) ?
	</li>
	<li>
		Where is located the default wired network configuration file and associates certificates ?
	</li>
	<li>
		How should be configured ROOTCA, IntermediateCA and user certificates used for enterprise wifi vlan connexion ? (I set wpa_supplicant and certificates with no sucessfull connexion)
	</li>
</ul>

<p>
	Thanks in advance for your help

<p>
	Hello,
</p>

<p>
	I am currently trying to check GPIO control with TinkerBoard3S.
</p>

<p>
	・Environment<br />
	　TinkerBoard3S<br />
	    OS：Tinker Board 3 Debian 11 (kernel 5.10) V.1.0.1(The results were the same with 1.0.4)
</p>

<p>
	<br />
	I tried to check the LED blinking with pin108 using the following sample code, but it doesn't work.(there is no import error)
</p>

<pre class="ipsCode prettyprint lang-html prettyprinted">
<span class="pln">import ASUS.GPIO as GPIO
import time
 
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.ASUS)
GPIO.setwarnings(False)
GPIO.setup(108, GPIO.OUT)
while True:
  GPIO.output(108, GPIO.HIGH)
  time.sleep(0.2);
  GPIO.output(108, GPIO.LOW)
  time.sleep(0.2);</span></pre>

<p>
	<br />
	The result of "gpio readall" before executing sample code is bellow, but after executing the 108 pin  mode remained IN.
</p>

<p>
	Also, to check UART communication, I enabled UART communication from tinker-config, but there was no change in "gpio readall" results.
</p>

<p>
	<span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#353c41;font-size:14.6667px;">Is there anything else I need to do regarding the GPIO control?</span>　
</p>

	Hello,
</p>

<p>
	<span lang="ja" xml:lang="ja">I am trying to </span><span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">burn DebianOS into </span><span lang="ja" xml:lang="ja">TinkerBoard3S(not Tinker3).</span>
</p>

<p style="font-size:11pt;">
	I connected the Tinker to my Windows Laptop(Windows11) with a USB-MicroB cable as described in the instructions in this manual(https://tinker-board.asus.com/download/E22692_Tinker_Board_3_UM_WEB.pdf),
</p>

<p style="font-size:11pt;">
	but the Laptop does not recognize it.(Also, it is not recognized as a target by balenaEtcher).
</p>

<p>
	・Current Status<br />
	The Red LED on the back is on. When I connected the 3S via USB to Laptop, the device is listed as “unknown device” in the device manager of the windows Laptop.
</p>

<p>
	I tried the following, but the results were the same.<br />
	・Replace the USB cable.<br />
	・Change the USB port(of laptop)<br />
	・Connecting to other windows laptop<br />
	・Update and Reboot Windows.
</p>

<p style="font-size:11pt;">
	Is there anything else I need to do regarding the setup?
