The power led on the board also lights up slightly. When connected to CB/CT and the board is powered off the RX LED is lit. (You can also check the " Cubieboard/TTL" article to use it with a Cubieboard). When connected to CB/CT and the board is powered off the power led on the board is dim (not off completely).

If you don't know what to buy, consider one that explicitly has 3.3V and 5V printed on the board - it will probably be compatible with both 3.3V TX/RX. They all are supported by mainline Linux. Many cheap chinese dongles come with either of these or a CH340 based design. Popular chips for such modules are the Silicon Labs CP2102 and the Prolific PL2303HX which are both cheap and relatively easy to find. It is much much easier to just buy a 3.3V USB UART module.Ĭurrently, all of the available sunxi hardware requires a 3.3V UART.

If you buy a voltage stepper module ("level shifter") you might get away with attaching it to the serial port of your IBM PC (RS232), but this is rather cumbersome. Even a rather small ESP8266 might run out of power with some USB UART dongles.Ĭurrently, all of the available sunxi hardware requires a 3.3V UART. Note that the UART power wire probably won't deliver enough power for powering a large SBC.
