Step4: Set up your Banana Pi M2
According to the set up diagram below, you can easily set up your Banana Pi.
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. On the bottom "edge" in the middle of the board is the HDMI Type A (Full
sized) port. Just connect any HDMI cable from the board to your TV or HDMI
Monitor.
If you don't have an TV/Monitor with a HDMI or DVI-D port you can use the
yellow AV jack located in the middle of the "top" edge and the 3.5 mm stereo
headphone jack to the right of it.
3. Plug a USB keyboard and mouse into the USB slots located on the right edge.
4. Just under the USB ports on the right edge is the ethernet connector for anyone
who wants to plug the Banana Pi into a wired network.
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 ±5% and at
least 700mA (or 0.7A). Any number bigger than 700 mA (like 1000mA) will
also work. Avoid using the smaller chargers used for small GSM phones, as
these are often unregulated, even if they claim "5V 1A", they may do "5V"
and may do "1A", but not at the same time!
The mini-USB (on the left) is the wrong one. It's thicker and looks like a
trapezoid with its sides pinched in. The micro-USB (on the right) is the
correct one. It is thinner and also looks like a trapezoid except it's sides are
rounded outward.
