| 3 | +## Description and resources |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +The [Quartz64 Model A](https://pine64.org/devices/quartz64_model_a/) is a SBC |
| 6 | +based on Rockchip RK3566 and produced by PINE64. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +Additional resources for the board: |

| 10 | +* [PINE64 |
| 11 | +documentation;](https://pine64.org/documentation/Quartz64/Further_information/Schematics_and_certifications/) |

| 16 | +## Serial port access (Zarhus OS debug console) |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +Numerous types of software can be used to communicate via serial ports. On a |
| 19 | +host machine with Linux-based OS it can be `minicom`, Windows users can access |
| 20 | +that with [PuTTY](https://www.putty.org/). |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +There are only two parameters that depend not only on hardware but on software |
| 23 | +as well: baudrate and serial port number. In case of Quartz64 Model A port - |
| 24 | +Zarhus OS gives access to console via serial port 2 with baudrate `1.5 Mbps`, so |
| 25 | +you can connect to the console by connecting the UART adapter to pins `8`, `10` |
| 26 | +and `10` of |
| 27 | +[`CON40`](https://files.pine64.org/doc/quartz64/Quartz64_model-A_schematic_v2.0_20210427.pdf) |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +And use following command on your host Linux distribution: |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +```bash |
| 32 | +$ minicom -b 1500000 -D /dev/ttyUSBX |
| 33 | +``` |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +Where instead of `/dev/ttyUSBX` there should be the name of your UART adapter |
| 36 | +under your host Linux distribution. |
