    Tips:

    Use a fast Micro SD card, minimum 3 amps power supply and a case which includes a cooling fan to avoid system crashing due to overheating.

    Getting Started:

    Write the zip compressed image with Etcher and (TB) insert SD card into a slot or (TB/s) use a USB cable to connect to your computer.

    Power the board:

    • TB

      (First) boot takes up to two to minutes.

      (Second) boot takes up to one minute.

      Login with the user id: vinvin

    • TB/s

      Remove the USB cable connected to your computer.

      (First) boot takes up to one to minute.

      Login with the user id: vinvin.

      Also important: resize your file system with, for example, GParted to the full capacity.

    Enjoy :-)
