-Introduction
-###############
-
-This document is the *System Reference Manual* for BeagleBone AI-64
-and covers its use and design. The board will primarily be referred to
-in the remainder of this document simply as the board, although it may
-also be referred to as AI-64 or BeagleBone AI-64 as a reminder.
-
-This design is subject to change without notice as we will work to keep
-improving the design as the product matures based on feedback and
-experience. Software updates will be frequent and will be independent of
-the hardware revisions and as such not result in a change in the
-revision number.
-
-Make sure you frequently check the `BeagleBone AI-64 git repository <https://git.beagleboard.org/beagleboard/beaglebone-ai-64/>`_ for the most up to date support documents.

-*********
-We are starting with revision B based on this being an update to the BeagleBone Black AI. However, because this board ended up being so different, we've decided to name it BeagleBone AI-64, rather than simply a new revision. This refers to the Seeed release on 21 Dec 2021 of "BeagleBone AI-64_SCH_Rev B_211221". This is the initial production release.

-Main Connection Scenarios
--------------------------------
-
-This section will describe how to connect the board for use. This section is basically a slightly more detailed description of the Quick Start Guide that came in the box. There is also a Quick Start Guide document on the board that should also be referred to. The intent here is that someone looking to purchase the board will be able to read this section and get a good idea as to what the initial set up will be like.
-
-The board can be configured in several different ways, but we will discuss the two most common scenarios as described in the Quick Start Guide card that comes in the box.
-
-* Tethered to a PC via the USB cable 
-  
-  * ``Board is accessed as a storage drive and``
-  * ``a virtual Ethernet connection.``
-  
-* Standalone desktop 
-  
-  * ``Display``
-  * ``Keyboard and mouse``
-  * ``External 5V > 3A power supply``
-
-Each of these configurations is discussed in general terms in the following sections.
-
-.. _tethered-to-a-pc:
-
-Tethered To A PC
--------------------------
-
-In this configuration, the board is powered by the PC via the provided USB cable --no other cables are required. The board is accessed either as a USB storage drive or via the browser on the PC. You need to use either Firefox or Chrome on the PC, Internet Explorer will not work properly. :ref:`tethered-figure` shows this configuration.

-   :alt: Connect miniDP to DP or active miniDP to HDMI Cable to the Board
-
-   Fig: Connect miniDP to DP or active miniDP to HDMI Cable to the Board
-
-The connector is fairly robust, but we suggest that you not use the cable as a leash for your Beagle. Take proper care not to put too much stress on the connector or cable.
-
-7. Booting the Board
-
-As soon as the power is applied to the board, it will start the booting up process. When the board starts to boot the LEDs will come on. It will take a few seconds for the status LEDs to come on, so be patient. The LEDs will be flashing in an erratic manner as it boots the Linux kernel.

-
-   Fig: BeagleBone AI-64 LEDs
-
-While the four user LEDS can be over written and used as desired, they do have specific meanings in the image that is shipped with the board once the Linux kernel has booted.
-
-* **USR0** is the heartbeat indicator from the Linux kernel.
-* **USR1** turns on when the microSD card is being accessed
-* **USR2** is an activity indicator. It turns on when the kernel is not in the idle loop.
-* **USR3** turns on when the onboard eMMC is being accessed.
-* **USR4** is an activity indicator for WiFi.
-
-8. A Booted System
-   
-   a. The board will have a mouse pointer appear on the screen as it enters the Linux boot step. You may have to move the physical mouse to get the mouse pointer to appear. The system can come up in the suspend mode with the monitor in a sleep mode.
-   b. After a minute or two a login screen will appear. You do not have to do anything at this point.
-   c. After a minute or two the desktop will appear. It should be similar to the one shown in :ref:`figure-16`. HOWEVER, it will change from one release to the next, so do not expect your system to look exactly like the one in the figure, but it will be very similar.
-   d. And at this point you are ready to go! :ref:`figure-16` shows the desktop after booting.

-BeagleBone AI-64 Overview
-###############################
-
-BeagleBone AI-64 is the latest addition to BeagleBoard.org family and like its predecessors, is designed to address the open-source Community, early adopters, and anyone interested in a low cost 64-bit Dual Arm® Cortex®-A72 processor based Single Board Computer (SBC).
-
-It has been equipped with a minimum set of features to allow the user to
-experience the power of the processor and is not intended as a full
-development platform as many of the features and interfaces supplied by
-the processor are not accessible from BeagleBone AI-64 via onboard
-support of some interfaces. It is not a complete product designed to do
-any particular function. It is a foundation for experimentation and
-learning how to program the processor and to access the peripherals by
-the creation of your own software and hardware.
-
-It also offers access to many of the interfaces and allows for the use
-of add-on boards called capes, to add many different combinations of
-features. A user may also develop their own board or add their own
-circuitry.
-
-BeagleBone AI-64 is manufactured and warranted by partners listed at https://beagleboard.org/logo for the benefit of the community and its supporters including the current BeagleBoard.org Foundation board members
