Board overview (draft): [TBD]

The board can be combined with several predefined capes that add functionality.

• LCD cape can be used to add a 3inch LCD/Touch with 800x480px resolution.
• GPS cape adds GPS/GNSS/GLONAS capabilities
• GSM cape adds GPRS connectivity.

A13 features a few power rails:

• VDD-CPU - TBD - from AXP209
• VDD-INT - 1.2V - from DCDC
• VDD-GPIO - 3V3 - from AXP209
• VDD-DRAM - 1V5 - from DCDC
• AVCC - 3V - from AXP209

The datasheet states that AVCC and VDD-DRAM must be present at all times (even standby). VDD-INT and VDD-CPU can't be tied together because VDD-CPU is DVS enabled.

A13 DRAM controller doesn't provide DDR-CS. On the memory side the pin is tied to GND. Memory tuning should be performed as described here

Build U-Boot and Linux kernel + rootFS - TBD

Flash to SDCard - TBD
