Pine Pinebook

= Identification =

On the back of the device, the following is printed:
 * Prototypes
 * Prototypes do not seem to have external markings besides Pine64 stickers...

The PCB has the following silkscreened on it:
 * Prototypes
 * Mainboard (bottom): A114-A64_V1.1 2016-08-23
 * Daughterboard (top): A114-A64_USB_V1.1 2016-09-23

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

FEL mode
The button triggers  FEL mode.

= Adding a serial port (voids warranty) =



The prototype Pinebook PCBs do not have a UART0 header, only testpads on the bottom side which requires removing the PCB and soldering some wires / breakout board to it.

Device disassembly
Opening the Pinebook is easy, just remove all the screws on the bottom and pull off the cover. Make sure to note which screws go where since they have different lengths!

Locating the UART
The UART and FEL testpad locations can bee seen in the picture, colors are as following: Green-TXD, Orange-RXD, Yellow-FEL, Black-GND. The A64 uses 3,3V CMOS signal levels, so make sure your UART adapter does not use 5V, see UART howto for more information.
