Board Detail

+ Power on/ff button
+ 3.5mm audio out jack
+ Differential L/R speaker port
+ 4 x menu buttons
+ MicroUSB port: #8220;Touch#8221; - First attach your board (C2, C1+ or XU4) to the VU7A with an HDMI cable. Then attach the micro USB port next to the HDMI port labeled #8220;Touch#8221; to provide touchscreen power to the VU7A!
+ MicroUSB port type DC: #8220;DC#8221; - Using your speakers or any extra power consuming devices attached to your board, you may need additional power for stable performance. This micro USB port labeled #8220;DC#8221; is to provide extra power when you need it. Use any standard micro usb charger, like the ones used for most Android phones.
The Chromium browser supports the multi-touch pinch- zoom gesture, so you can enjoy the zoom in and out like a smartphone. The touchscreen also works with Android OS for the C1+.
Touch the sound!!
Known issues.
1. The display shows noise on the screen in the boot process and power-down process because there is no off-sync filter circuit.
2. On the C1+, there will be after-image or noise when the system turns off if you use the OTG port.
To fix this issue, you must remove(de-solder) the R94 from the C1+ PCB.
If you have the C1+ PCB Rev 0.4 2015/09/30, just remove a JUMPER on J8.
3. There is no backlight control except for the slide switch. So software can#8217;t adjust the brightness neither turn on-off the backlight.
First booting will generate the boot.ini file automatically.
You can edit the boot.ini on your PC if you connect the SD/eMMC card after first booting(self-installation process). Change the vout mode to #8220;HDMI#8221;.
