CHAPTER 2: SETTING UP THE OLINUXINO BOARD
2. Introduction to the chapter
This section helps you set up the OLinuXino development board for the first time. Please consider 
first the electrostatic warning to avoid damaging the board, then discover the hardware and software 
required to operate the board.
The procedure to power up the board is given, and a description of the default board behavior is 
detailed.
2.1 Electrostatic warning
OLinuXino is shipped in a protective anti-static package. The board must not be exposed to high 
electrostatic potentials. A grounding strap or similar protective device should be worn when 
handling the board. Avoid touching the component pins or any other metallic element.

- 6V to 16V, 6W required (6V @ 1A or 16V @ 0.4A) – for optimal power
- LCD (preferably with touchscreen panel) display for the LCD_CON OR TV monitor with RGB
