### Power supply
The board is powered with a DC12V/3A supply via the DC power jack. It can also
be powered via USB Type-C with 12V/3A.
### Serial console
The board has a serial (115200 8N1) console connection available on the
`UART0 Debug` connector.

### FDL button - download key
For remote bootmode control, the FDL button (`SW2` - download key) can have
soldered wires. Note that this isn't just a GND pulldown, but a pull up when
pressed.

### Bootloader
The Banana Pi BPI-F3 still lacks of upstream u-boot with ethernet support. In
order to enable tftp-booting, the vendor u-boot bootchain is used. Artifacts
can be downloaded from:
