Quick Start with ODYSSEY - X86J4125 v2
Before you Start
Ensure you have the following peripherals:
- An external monitor
- A keyboard and a mouse
- An HDMI Cable
The diagram illustrates connecting these items to the ODYSSEY board.
Attaching External Storage
If your ODYSSEY - X86J4125 v2 came with 64GB eMMC storage, you can skip this step. For additional storage needs, follow these methods:
There are four methods of adding storage:
- Through M.2 PCIE Connector
- Through M.2 SATA connector
- Through SATA Connector
- Through Micro-SD Card Slot
The diagram shows the locations for M.2 PCIE SSD, M.2 SATA SSD, HDD (SATA), and Micro-SD card.
Note: M.2 SATA, M.2 PCIE, and SATA connectors support operating system installation. The Micro SD Card slot is for external storage only.
Connecting Antennas
Insert the two provided antennas into the designated sockets on the ODYSSEY - X86J4125 v2.
Note: One antenna is for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, while the second antenna is for enhanced 5G connectivity.
The diagram shows the connection of two antennas to the board.
Connecting to a display
There are two methods to connect your ODYSSEY - X86J4125 v2 to an external display:
Method 1: HDMI
Connect an HDMI cable from the board's HDMI port to your monitor.
