HiKey 960 Single Board Computer Octa core - 96Boards Reference Development Platform (4GB LPDDR4 & 32GB eMMC ) Running with AOSP & Linux

Don't buy this board if you want to use the M.2 connector. The connector is such that the other end of the m.2 device when plugged in will extend out from the board like a tail. Then you have no way of stabilizing the m.2 hard drive as it is suspended in mid air with no where to affix or screw. So without evening getting into the software, a proper hardware setup is going to require me to somehow build a case for this device with a place to hold the m.2. I would say this is not usable in its advertised form without additional custom not off the shelf tooling.(I also haven't seen a official linux image although its advertised as supporting linux.)

Plugged HDMI monitor (known to work with other computers), keyboard, and provided power adapter. Green LED blinks but nothing else... Return to amazon right away! Avoid!
