Use of a USB keyboard is optional. Instead of an AR1335 camera module, you can use a USB camera/webcam. The Starter Kit also has a DisplayPort™ interface if you want to use it instead of HDMI.

You will also need the following to interact with the KV260 starterkit:

  • Host PC running Windows, MacOS, or Linux

  • Ability to write a microSD card image (through integrated PC slot or USB card reader)

  • Local area network with internet connection used for software and application updates

Important: Perform Shutdown Command Before Removing Power

Running the shutdown command enables Linux to bring the system down in a secure manner, ensuring that disk writes complete before storage devices are unmounted. For best practice, this should be performed each time before removing power

sudo shutdown -h now
