1. Insert the written-image SD card that to the SD card spot on the left side
edge of the underside of the board.
2. The HDMI Type A (Full sized) port is between a USB port and a RJ45 port
of the board. Just connect any HDMI cable from the board to your TV or
HDMI Monitor.
3. Plug a mouse into the USB slot.
4. Plug a Ethernet cable into the RJ45 slot.
5. Finally, at the very left of the bottom edge is the micro-usb power
connector. Plug in a regulated power supply that is rated at 5V ± 2% and
at least 2A.
If all goes well, the R1 will boot in a few minutes. The screen will display
the OS GUI.

Step 5: How to write bootable OS image/firmware to Micro SD
card?
Windows
Windows users might want to use Win32 Disk Imager
Download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
OS X
1. Download the latest OpenWrt image.
2. Insert your micro-SD card into the Mac or card reader.
3. Identify your micro-SD card device using 'diskutil list' and do a 'diskutil unmountDisk' for the
whole disk device (disk9 for example and not disk9s1):
4. diskutil unmountDisk disk9
5. Write the OpenWrt image to the micro-SD card using ‘sudo dd’ (using the raw device:
In case your micro0SD card is disk9 then use /dev/rdisk9):
$ sudo dd if= openwrt-sunxi-Lamobo-R1-sdcard-vfat-ext4-configured
of=/dev/rdisk9 bs=10m && diskutil eject disk9
Linux
Lamobo R1(BPI-R1) User Manual

GPIO Define
We can check R1PINdefinition in this thread, including CON1, CON2, CON3, J12
and J13.
J13 contains the default serial port UART0 (UART0-RX,UART0-TX). UATR0 is
Lamobo R1(BPI-R1) User Manual
Version 1.0
21
configured to be used for console input/output. This is useful if you want to login
using the serial port. So it is the most common used PIN.
J12 also contains serial port.
CON3 contains CAN bus, SPI bus, PWM, serial port and etc. It can be configured
to be used for kinds of peripherals.
CON1 is a CSI camera connector.
CON2 is a DSI display connector.
Pictures and tables below show the specific layout and definition of PIN.
