Introduction¶

For now please see the general core manual on the main page. This was written for other boards and has not been updated for the EclaireXL, but the background is useful.

Power requirements¶

USB B 5V input. 500mA is enough but I'd go with 1-2A to give some extra for any connected devices.

Known good power supplies

Board setup videos¶

I put together some basic videos for the v2 boards:

SD card setup¶

The OS and basic rom are loaded from the flash chip in the new cores, this can still be overridden by the sd card as discussed here:

Cases¶

In theory any mini ITX case should work as long as it has a full size IO panel.

In practice, please check this list of known good cases. If you have success with another one, please add it.
