Tips, Tricks, Caveats

FEL mode

The something button triggers FEL mode.

Retrieving script.bin

Unlike older Allwinner devices, this device only has some basic images on the nanda partition. This means that u-boot and script.bin are living elsewhere.

Adding a serial port (voids warranty)

DEVICE UART pads

Device disassembly

The device has no screws, the cover is 'clicked' on the screen. A suction cup and a little wiggling with the soft back shell quickly and easily removes the rear cover. You might want to use a Plastic tool as well.
