Start the System
Make Linux SD Card to Startup System
Update time：2018-03-19 (http://en.t-firefly.com/doc/product/info/471.html)

I hope this last step will be obsolete, configuration mode never appears, don't know how to start a "serial console" on Windows or Linux. Using this Upgrade Tool changes nothing. Do i need to have a PC with RS232 and to use Debug Pins RX2 TX2 or what the hell is to do at least? Please explain it.

Start the System:
Insert the SD card into the ROC-RK3328-CC board and power on (monitor recognises hdmi, black screen, backlight on!). The first thing you need to start in the serial console is to press Enter key to enter the configuration mode, run the following commands to make gpt partition table for SD card, the system will restart again and automatically load the rootfs file system.

gpt write mmc 1 $partitions
boot

Edit: None of this images work. Today Debian and LibreElec disappeared, Station OS not available, got it from Homepage. For Ubuntu i tried to start the system with serial console (putty, gtkterm, ttyUSB0) and nullmodem connection without handshake , no board online.

After inserting the SD card into the ROC-RK3328-CC board and power on the Board gets only extrem hot near micro-usb, black screen, waiting for what? I think the board is bricked. Android is the minimum which has to work (only flashing sd-card).
