Board revision 37NB-E60QF0+4A3 contains the Realtek RTL8189FTV, a 802.11bgn 2.4G single-chip solution. Using the mainline kernel this is supported by the RTL8189fs branch of this repo. Note this prints a lot of information to dmesg (prefixed with 'RTL871X'). Board revision 37NB-E60QF0+4A2 contains the CyberTan WC121 (BCM43362) SDIO WiFi supported by the brcmfmac mainline driver. That driver has a separate firmware and config file.
UART
UART (3.3V) is available on J4. This is located near the edge of the PCB on the top right (with the USB at bottom). The default baudrate is 115200 (8N1). There is a second UART next to it (TP198)

Replacing internal µSD
Internal µSD card can be replaced by something bigger.
Fastboot
Holding the frontlight button while powering on will give you a short time of fastboot availability. Note: if kernels are booted this may, dtb must be appended.
