Getting Started
Requirement
• 1 x USB Type-C® cable with data transfer function (to connect your PC to the board's data port)
• 1 x 12~19V power supply*
• 1 x Monitor with HDMI cable
• 1 x Keyboard and Mouse set
* The power supply is purchased separately.
* The factory settings only includes a U-Boot bootloader and does not include a system
Before you begin the flashing procedure, please ensure of the following:
• The board is completely powered off, and the power cord and cables connecting the board to
your computer are all disconnected.
• The boot mode switches are set to eMMC mode, please refer to the table and illustration below
for the eMMC mode setting.

Flashing the Tinker Edge T
Initiating Fastboot mode:
I. Connect the USB Type-C® cable to the USB Type-C® ports on the Tinker Edge T and your host
computer.
II. Power on the board, you should automatically be booted into Fastboot mode.
Please note that you will only be booted into Fastboot mode when booting up the Tinker
Edge T for the first time.
Please refer to the readme file in the unzipped folder for details on other items such as re-
flash or recovery.
Executing the flash script:
I. Download the OS image from the Tinker Edge T website, then unzip the image file.
II. Run the flash script or command file to start the flash process. The flash process should
take a few minutes. Once the flash is completed, the Tinker Edge T will reboot and you
should be booted to the terminal prompt.

- Page 4 Use caution when handling the GPIO pins to avoid electrostatic discharge or contact with conductive materials (metals). Failure to properly handle the Tinker Edge T can result in a short circuit, electric shock, serious injury, death, fire, or damage to your board and other property.
- Page 5 Using the Periphery library To access the header pins on the Tinker Edge T, you can use standard Linux sysfs interfaces. But if you'd like a Python API, we recommend you use the python-periphery library, which is built atop the sysfs interfaces.
- Page 6 For usage examples, see the https://python-periphery.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pwm.html. The following code shows how to instantiate each of the I2C ports with Periphery: i2c2 = I2C("/dev/i2c-1") i2c3 = I2C("/dev/i2c-2") For usage examples, see the https://python-periphery.readthedocs.io/en/latest/i2c.html. The following code shows how to instantiate each of the SPI ports with Periphery: # SPI1, SS0, Mode 0, 10MHz spi1_0 = SPI("/dev/spidev32766.0", 0, 10000000) # SPI1, SS1, Mode 0, 10MHz...
