This page needs to be properly filled according to the New Device Howto and the New Device Page guide.

If a device is special, then feel free to provide a terse description of what makes this device so special. But terse, no novels, no marketing blurb.

Identification

On the bottom of the device, the following is printed:

Model:Beelink GS1

The PCB has the following silkscreened on it:

beelink
GS1
Ver:2.0

In android, under Settings->About Tablet, you will find:

  • Model Number: Beelink GS1
  • Build Number: 102NO

Sunxi support

Current status

Beelink GS1 is currently supported by both mainline U-Boot and kernels.

Manual build

You can build things for yourself by following our Manual build howto and by choosing from the configurations available below.

U-Boot

Mainline U-Boot

use the beelink_gs1_defconfig (supported since v2019.07) build target.

Write u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin to an SD card with "dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/[SD] bs=1024 seek=8 conv=notrunc"

Linux Kernel

Sunxi/Legacy Kernel

Mainline kernel

use the sun50i-h6-beelink-gs1.dtb (kernel 5.2+). https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sunxi/linux.git/commit/?h=sunxi/for-next&id=089bee8dd119ba084dee6b17a2e1a53df4f30193

Tips, Tricks, Caveats

Add MANUFACTURER DEVICE specific tips, tricks, Caveats and nice to have changes here.

FEL mode

The button on the bottom of the PCB triggers FEL mode (to be confirmed). It is reachable through a small hole in the bottom plastic cover.

Device specific topic

If there are no further device specific topics to add, remove these sections.

...

Adding a serial port (voids warranty)

UART pads

The GS1 UART runs at 3.3V levels, so you need a level converter (e.g. MAX3323) to connect the board to a regular serial port. Alternatively, a USB-to-UART adapter with 3.3V levels will also work.

Device disassembly

The case is clipped together using plastic tabs on all four sides. Please see the Plastic tool howto for details of opening cases like these. The PCB is held in place by three small Philips-head screws. Make sure to remove the µSD card before taking out the PCB.

Locating the UART

The UART (3.3V levels) is available on four solder holes (2mm spacing) next to the eMMC chip slot. Soldering in a header will void the warranty.

With the square pad as pin 1 the pinout is as follows confirmed using USB-UART adapter:

  • Pin 1: GND
  • Pin 2: RxD
  • Pin 3: TxD
  • Pin 4: 3v3
