What’s Included:

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

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.
COMPATIBILITY WITH PERIPHERALS DESIGNED FOR RASPBERRY PI: 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.
SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY NOTICE: Existing Raspbian 10 and 11 images can be ported using libretech-raspbian-portability tool available on GitHub. This utility must run on a Raspberry Pi board prior to installation on a Libre Computer board or it will not boot. The utility does not translate software that are coded to use the Broadcom GPIO numbers. Each boards use different GPIO numbering and must be mapped for compatibility.
