What’s Included:

• Libre Computer AML-S905X-CC Le Potato board
• Push Pin Heatsink designed for Libre Computer AML-S905X-CC
• USB WiFi Dongle

AML-S905X-CC WITH HEATSINK AND WIFI: Le Potato is a powerful SBC platform capable of handling many computing tasks while consuming less than a watt. This bundle adds a bespoke heatsink and plug and play WiFi dongle for getting the most from your board.
BESPOKE ANODIZED HEATSINK: The anodized heatsink provides a protective oxide layer that resists environmental corrosion while offering significantly better thermal performance. Dramatically increase sustained performance while increasing reliability via reduced temperature cycling. Two push pin anchors securely attach heatsink for vibration resistance.
PLUG AND PLAY USB WIFI: Get a no-hassle WiFi dongle that offers great performance and feature set including AP mode, ad-hoc mode, monitor mode, packet injection, and more. It is fully integrated into the Linux kernel and is perfect for embedded applications that require low power consumption, memory usage, and software support.
ADDITIONAL PERIPHERALS REQUIRED: MicroSD card or eMMC flashed with the correct image. Proper bootloader or image is required to have HDMI video output. The green LED will turn on once the bootloader is detected. Please use a 5V 2A or higher MicroUSB power supply. Power supplies with insufficient power will experience voltage drops that cause instability and random application crashes or boot issues. For additional assistance, please use hub.libre.computer for guides and end-user support.
PERIPHERAL COMPATIBILITY: Most USB based peripherals are directly supported. The GPIO header maintains the same layout for hardware I2C, SPI, PWM, and UART compatibility. I2S, PCM, and SDIO do not share the same pins so most audio peripherals will need to be re-routed. Le Potato features additional GPIOs and SARADC pins on separate headers.
RASPBIAN COMPATIBILITY: Software made for Raspberry Pi is not compatible out of the box. Libre Computer provides the libretech-raspbian-portability tool on GitHub to convert existing Raspbian images to standard EFI images so that they can run on Libre Computer boards. Pre-converted Raspbian images are also available. Non-standard software libraries for interfacing with hardware will need to be updated since GPIO numbering are not the same across different platforms.
SUPPORT OPEN-SOURCE: Libre Computer is a major sponsor of software contributions to upstream Linux and U-Boot including support for adopted Allwinner, Amlogic, and Rockchip SoCs. For technical support, please use hub.libre.computer.
