# 02-Quick\_Start\_Guide

This guide aims to help users quickly get started with the motherboard, covering power-on, display connection, debug serial port, ADB, SSH connections, and more.

## Powering On the Board

### Power Supply Methods

The K4B supports TYPE-C 5V power supply, as shown below:

### LED Status

The development board is equipped with two LEDs. By default:

* **Green LED**: Power indicator (remains lit when powered on).
* **Blue LED**: Heartbeat indicator (blinks continuously after the kernel boots).

**Troubleshooting**:

* If the power indicator is off, check the power supply.
* If the heartbeat indicator does not blink, the system may be malfunctioning.

## Display

The motherboard supports **LVDS** and **MIPI** displays.

* The default system is configured for a **7-inch LVDS screen**. To switch to other displays, burn the corresponding image by following [Image Burning](https://github.com/tan-zhihao1/kickpi-book/blob/master/t113-s3/en/03-%E9%95%9C%E5%83%8F%E7%83%A7%E5%BD%95/README.md).

**Important**: Always power off the motherboard before connecting a display.

## Debug Serial Port

### Baud Rate

Set the debug serial port baud rate to **115200**.

### Debug Cable Description

The provided debug cable has four wires:

* **Red**: VCC (do not connect)
* **Green**: TX
* **White**: RX
* **Black**: GND

**Connection**: Only connect **TX, RX, and GND**. Ensure your debug tool supports **115200 baud rate**.

## ADB

ADB (Android Debug Bridge) is a debugging tool for Android systems. It supports USB or network connections for app installation, file transfer, and command execution.

* For usage details, see [ADB\_Tutorial](../../../common/en/adb/adb_tutorial)

## SSH

SSH (Secure Shell) enables secure remote access over a network.

* To connect, obtain the board’s IP via the serial port or router admin page.
* For instructions, see [SSH](../../../common/en/linux/ssh)
