- While holding it, connect the USB cable and press the Power button five times
- Release both buttons
Installation
For this initial testing phase, follow the Installation guide and select a device with the same SoC, like INet Tek D70 A33. Install it to the SD card, since internal storage seems to be not recognized for now.
Features
WiFi
Its wireless network capabilities aren't included in the SoC. It seems to use an Espressif ESP8089 chip - there is a driver being maintained here, but I haven't managed to build it yet.
