Product Introduction 2
2.1 Before you proceed Take note of the following precautions before you install your Single Board Computer components or change any single board computer settings. NOTE: The diagrams in this chapter are for reference only. The Single Board Computer layout may vary with models. IMPORTANT! Components shown in this section may be purchased separately. Refer to Package contents section for more information about the contents of your Single Board Computer package.
2.2 Single board Computer layout Top view Bottom view * eMMC is only available on selected models. Layout contents 1. GPIO header 2. SOC RK3399 3. Debug UART header 4. Reset header 5. MIPI DSI connector 6. DC Fan header 7. Power-on header and Maskrom jumper 8. Status LEDs 9. MIPI CSI-2 connector 10. RTC Battery header 11. M.2 Wi-Fi slot 12.
1. GPIO header This 40-pin GPIO (General-Purpose Input/Output) header can be designated (in software) as an input or output pin and is used for a wide range of purposes. Of the 40 pins, 28 are GPIO pins (shared with SPI/ UART/I2C pins). 40P_GPIO 2 1 4 3 6 5 8 7 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40 10 14 18 22 26 30 34 38 9 13 17 21 25 29 33 37 11 15 19 23 27 31 35 39 Tinker Board 2 / 2S 40-pins GPIO header Pin definition VCC3.
2. SOC RK3399 This ARM® system on a chip (SoC) features the new 64-bit Armv8 architecture and Arm® big.LITTLE™ technology’s 6-core processor, provides improved performance and comes bundled with Arm® Mali®-T860 MP4 GPU. 3. Debug UART header This Debug UART header provides a separate UART port, allowing developers to use and develop with the serial console without occupying the 40-pin GPIO’s UART ports. Dimension 2.54 4. Reset header The Reset header allows you to connect an external reset button.
5. MIPI DSI connector The MIPI DSI connector is used to connect a MIPI display module via a 4 lane MIPI-DSI cable. This connector supports up to 6 Gbps connection speed. 6. DC Fan header The DC Fan header allows you to connect a fan to actively cool the system. Connector Type Reference PN: JST PH 2P 2.00mm JST, PHR-2 NOTE: The fan is purchased separately. WARNING! • These are not jumpers! Do not place jumper caps on the fan connectors. • Ensure the cable is fully inserted into the connector.
7. Power On header The Power On header allows you to connect an external power button. The Maskrom jumper allows you to mask the eMMC (rom) for recovery. This will allow you to enter developer mode due to the indetected storage and rewrite the eMMC. Dimension 2.54 8. Status LEDs The Status LEDs indicate the current status of the Single Board Computer.
9. MIPI CSI connector The MIPI CSI connector is used to connect a MIPI camera module via a 2 lane MIPI-CSI2 cable. This connector supports up to 3 Gbps connection speed. WARNING! Ensure the cable for MIPI CSI is connected in the correct orientation with the gold fingers facing towards the rear of the Single Board Computer. 10. RTC Battery header The RTC Battery header allows you to connect the lithium battery. Connector Type Reference PN 16 Single Board Computer WtoB 2P 1.
11. M.2 Wi-Fi Slot (E-Key) The M.2 Wi-Fi slot allows you to install an M.2 Wi-Fi module (E-key, type 2230). NOTE: The M.2 Wi-Fi module is purchased separately on selected models. 12. Micro SD Card slot The microSD card slot allows you to install a microSD memory card v2.00 (SDHC) / v3.00 (SDXC) for storage. WARNING! Disconnect all power (including redundant PSUs) from the existing system before you add or remove a memory card, then reboot the system to access the memory card.
2.3 I/O connectors 2.3.1 Left panel 1. DC Power Input Jack The supplied power adapter converts AC power to DC power for use with this jack (5.5mm/2.5mm). Power supplied through this jack supplies power to the Single Board Computer. To prevent damage to the Single Board Computer, always use the supplied power adapter.
