### Power Supply

According to the quick start guide (first edition):

> 1 x Micro USB cable and a **5V/2A** USB power adapter with **LPS** marking

According to the ASUS Tinker Board official page's FAQ:

> Tinker Board supports **5V/1~2.5A** power input, but since the SoC’s performance is high, if the connected

peripheral required huge power demand from the board, it might cause the power supply issue.

Thus we strongly recommended to use the AC adaptor with **5V/2~2.5A** power rating, plus **LPS** marking.

**Battery** supply is also possible, as long as the power output is no less than **5V/1A**.

### CSI Camera

* Prerequisite: TinkerOS v2.0+

* [How-to](https://tinkerboarding.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=CSI-camera)

## Configuration

### Remote Connection

* **SSH** is enabled by default

  * [How To Configure SSH Key-Based Authentication on a Linux Server](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-ssh-key-based-authentication-on-a-linux-server)

* **VNC** ([How to Install and Configure VNC on Debian 11](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-vnc-on-debian-11))

  * **Preferences** -> **Tinker Board Configuration** -> **Interfaces** -> **VNC**

    * Switch to **Enable**

    * Click **Change VNC Password**

  * From client, connect to: `vnc://tinkerboard:5901`

## TinkerOS

A Debian-based distribution ensures a smooth and functional experience.

### Flash OS Image

1. Download [**Etcher**](https://etcher.io/) - a powerful cross-platform open source OS image flasher.

2. Download **TinkerOS**.

3. Uncompress the TinkerOS file, select the **.img** file in Etcher and flash it to the SD card.  (Don't worry about the FS format, Etcher will make it **FAT32** eventually.)

### Authentication

username: `linaro`

password: `linaro`

### Security

[Securing your Raspberry Pi](https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/security.md)

```console

sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

ChallengeResponseAuthentication no

PasswordAuthentication no

UsePAM no

```

### SSH Banner

To use the shiny [SSH banner](sshd-banner)

* Drop the banner file to `/etc/ssh/sshd-banner`

* Edit `/etc/ssh/sshd_config`

  ```console

  Banner /etc/ssh/sshd-banner

  ```

### Download

To check your OS version:

```shell

cat /proc/version

```
