Installation Steps with A8625MY1

Pre-installation Checklist

Before installation, confirm the following items are ready:

• A8625MY1 AI compute card x 1
• Debug baseboard (A8625MY1-SUB-REVA) x 1
• 12V/3A power adapter x 1
• Type-C data cable x 1 (for serial debug)
• Ethernet cable (Cat5e or above) x 1

Installation Steps

Step 1: Insert the compute card

Align the A8625MY1 Mini PCIe edge connector with the Mini PCIe slot on the baseboard. Insert at about a 30-degree angle, then gently press the card down to the horizontal position and ensure the latch is locked.

Warning

Wear an anti-static wrist strap before operation and make sure installation is performed with power off. The compute card is sensitive to static electricity, and improper handling may damage the device.

Step 2: Connect the debug serial port

Use a Type-C data cable to connect J7 (DEBUG) on the baseboard to a PC. This interface breaks out the A8625MY1 UART for system login and debugging.

Step 3: Connect network

Use an Ethernet cable to connect J8 (RJ45) on the baseboard to a network switch, router, or directly to the host board.

Step 4: Connect power

• DC jack power (recommended): connect a 12V/3A power adapter to J4 (DC jack) on the baseboard.
• Type-C power: if using 12V Type-C power, solder a 22.6K 0402 resistor at the corresponding board position first (see the adapter board hardware document for exact location), then connect to J10.

Step 5: Power on and boot

After power is connected, the system boots automatically. The serial terminal will print Linux kernel boot logs.

Note

Power on the baseboard first, then connect/power the host board (for example Raspberry Pi).
