QUICKSTART GUIDE
The MicroSD slot (7) must contain a card featuring a valid OS image. See: Preparing a microSD
card
Connect the HDMI connector (2) to an HDMI compatible TV/screen.
Connect any USB peripherals to the micro-USB host port (8). This may require a powered USB
hub to provide sufficient power for the peripherals.
Connect the Cotton Candy USB connector (6) to a USB port providing power for the device.
The device will boot up to the default OS and be ready for use.
USB PERIPHERALS
Peripherals such as keyboards, mice, touch panels and other USB devices can be connected through
Cotton Candys micro-USB host port.
A powered USB hub should be used to connect devices that do not have a dedicated power supply.
Cotton Candy will not be able to supply sufficient power for most devices over the micro-USB host
port.
Cotton Candy relies on standard OS functionality for USB peripherals and can be used with any device
which is supported by the currently running OS / drivers. This might mean that some devices are only
supported under one of the OSes. The best way to check whether a particular USB device is
supported is to consult the official documentation for the selected OS, or simply connecting it to see
whether it works.
BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY
Cotton Candy relies on standard OS functionality for Bluetooth connectivity and can be used with any
devices, such as keyboards, mice and headsets, that are supported by the currently running OS.
This means that some devices may not be supported under all operating systems.
The best way to check whether a particular Bluetooth device is supported is to consult the official
documentation for the device or simply attempt to connect it to see if it works.
WIFI CONNECTIVITY
Cotton Candy supports 2.4GHz wireless network connectivity. Network configuration is performed
through the standard mechanisms in the currently running OS.
