UART is accessible on pin 6 (GND),8 (TX) and 10 (RX) and with unusual speed: 1500000
Video and 3D acceleration addon
Clocking to maximum safe CPU speed (1.51Ghz) is possible this way:
```
sed -i "s/MAX_SPEED=.*/MAX_SPEED=1510000/" /etc/default/cpufrequtils 
service cpufrequtils restart
```
Make sure to install large heatsink!
In case you face stability issues, check this
Some eMMC chips might have troubles.

Severe powering troubles due to Micro USB power connector. It’s recommended to power through GPIO pins to prevent under-voltage issues (instabilities, boot/crash cycles). Powering situation is a little improved/masked on model S.
serial console is enabled on UART2 (pin 32, 33, 34=gnd)
eMMC flashing (model Tinkerboard S with eMMC) can be done the same way as burning an SD card. Connect your board with USB cable to your computer (Linux or Windows) and eMMC will be seen as a new hard drive. Burn an image to this drive. Wait until it's done, detach from computer and power with your normal PSU.
booting from SD card on S model is possible in Maskrom mode.

To boot the image from USB flash:

To flash the image to eMMC:

Boot the image from USB flash
Write the image to eMMC using dd or other methods
Mount the eMMC partition and add a line emmc_fix=on to /boot/armbianEnv.txt file – this changes the DT during boot to switch from SD with card detect switch to a non-removable eMMC.
Unmount the eMMC partition and reboot

Please refer to this forum thread for the USB boot details and this thread for a discussion of known eMMC issues.

Onboard wireless module (XR819) has poor software support so wireless connection issues are expected

The only led on the board is a power LED, it starts to light as soon as power is available and does not indicate anything else.
DC-IN via Micro USB, keep in mind that most USB cables have a resistance way too high which leads to undervoltage situations. It is recommended to power your Pine64(+) through the Euler pins (see linux-sunxi wiki for details).
If you clone one Armbian installation for more than one Pine64 please keep in mind that the Ethernet MAC address will be chosen randomly on first boot and then saved in /boot/uEnv.txt. To avoid MAC address collisions you must adjust the address there or delete the whole ethaddr line.
If you use a DVI display don’t forget to define disp_dvi_compat=1 in /boot/armbianEnv.txt
Pine64’s own LCD with touchscreen support can simply be activated in /boot/armbianEnv.txt by setting pine64_lcd=on and adding gt9xxf_ts to /etc/modules followed by a reboot.
