Tips, Tricks, Caveats
FEL mode
The Volume- button triggers FEL mode.
Adding a serial port (voids warranty)
There are no UART pads available on this device. You will have to use the MicroSD Breakout adapter.
Device disassembly
See the Q8 tablet format disassembly page.
Locating the UART
Pins 151 and 152 of the TQFP do not seem to be wired up. You might get away with attaching a very very thin wire to it, but that requires some very creative soldering.
