Install Deskling

You only do this once, with a cable. After that, Deskling updates itself over Wi-Fi.

1 · Plug it in

  1. Use a USB-C data cable (some cables are charge-only).
  2. Plug it into the USB-C port on the board that's labelled UART or sits next to the CH340 chip. If nothing shows up in step 3, try the next port.
  3. On Windows, if no port appears, install the CH340 driver. Macs already have it.

2 · Which screen do you have?

Look at the label on the back: the number in brackets after the SKU, e.g. SKU:10153001 (2521).

Install a file instead

For test builds: pick a -full.bin (the whole flash image). Leave this empty to install the latest release.

Something not right?

    
Black screen, or stuck? This restarts Deskling and shows what it says while it starts up. Plug into the same USB-C port you installed through, click the button, pick the port, and send the log to whoever's helping you.
