Mele M9

The Mele M9 is an Android-based media center. This board is also sold as the Mele A1000G Quad. The two are similar, but the A1000G Quad has two UART connectors, a very slightly different motherboard layout, and 2.5" SATA.

UART


The serial is in the left bottom in the picture. The UART pinout is same as Mele A1000, from left to right: 3.3V power, TX, RX, GND.

The Mele A1000G Quad has two UART connectors, but the console output only comes out on the bottom left connector. RWMJ added a serial port to his using an old CD-ROM audio cable.
