Sample:
MD5: 42E99CA1A035B36A283CFFAB0A8D5C23
SHA1: 1B3732124D939EDB3DCFAE30301C222B0DE82249
CRC32: A06F437E
Please check the above verify code (MD5 code or SHA1 code etc.) to check your image file if is complete. you can use the MD5 tools to get it.
3. Is it possible to switch off the LED indicator on X850 board?
No, the LED on X850 board is not support to switch off, and you can use some tape to cover the led if light affected in the dark.
4. Why the Raspberry Pi WIFI signal affected when use X850 board?
If you have happened to meet WiFi signal problem, it maybe you use the SAMSUNG SSD Which will have EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) problem. We solved this problem on X850 V3.1 by placing the MSATA under the PCB board.
Overview
Features of the new version 3.1 V3.0
- About EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) problem, We solved this problem on X850 V3.1 by placing the MSATA under the PCB board.
- When using the X850 as a bootable hard disk, the problem of 'reboot' command is solved；
- The X850 board can be mounted under the raspberry pi, retaining the use of GPIO;
- Same size as the Raspberry Pi motherboard
- Replaced the power supply mode (using the Micro usb power supply instead of the GPIO power supply, additional power may be required only when using a large capacity hard disk)
- All use patch processing technology, product quality is more reliable;
Power supply
Powered by the Raspberry Pi motherboard (only requires extra power when using a large capacity hard drive)
