    A13 System on Chip Module, 512MB DDR3, microSD, UART Console

    The A13-SOM-512 is a small System-on-Module board that is capable of running Linux (Debian, OpenWRT). It measures only
    61 × 33 mm,
    requires just one 3.3V power supply and consumes about
    200 mA.
    The module contains the Allwinner A13 ARM Cortex-A8 processor, power management, 512MB DDR3 memory, a microSD card slot, and a UART console header. All A13 signals are brought out to four 0.05"-pitch female connectors for attachment to your own system or to the
    A13-SOM-WIFI-4GB
    , which provides an LCD interface, a mini-USB interface, a WiFi module, and 4GB NAND Flash that makes running Android possible.

    Creating a complete, working system
    Purchase this A13-SOM-512 module, the
    A13-SOM-WIFI-4GB
    , the
    A13-LCD7-TS
    LCD with touch screen (or other size; see
    all A13-LCDs
    ), a
    2×20-pin IDC cable
    and optionally the
    LCD7-FRAMEKIT
    .
    Download the
    A13-SOM-512 Debian Linux Image
    and follow the
    instructions
    for writing it to a bootable microSD card.
    Note:
    If you choose a display other than the 7-inch, refer the bottom section of those instructions to learn how to set it up for the other LCD sizes. Also, the suggested Win32 Disk Imager may not work properly on 64-bit Windows 7 and Windows 8; try using
    SD Imager
    instead on those platforms.
    As an alternative to Linux, download the
    A13-SOM-512 Android Image
    which can be written to the NAND Flash of the A13-SOM-WIFI-4GB. (Android image requires the 7-inch LCD.)

    Only the first of the options shown below actually connects to this module!
    The other options connect to that expansion board (apart from the LCD Frame Kit which of course is for mounting the LCD). They are all listed here for convenience of ordering.
    Instead of connecting a mini-USB cable from the expansion board to your PC for powering, you might consider the
    5V, 1A
    or
    5V, 2A
    power supplies that have a USB connection, so you can instead run a mini-USB cable from the expansion board to either of those wall-mount supplies.
