The LCD

• 1024×600 high resolution
• Capacitive touch control
• Supports Raspberry Pi
• Supports Banana Pi / Banana Pro, comes with Lubuntu, Raspbian images
• Supports BB Black, comes with Angstrom image
• For other mini-PCs, driver is required and should be developed by users
• Not only for mini-PCs, it can work as a computer monitor just like any other general HDMI screen
• HDMI interface for displaying, USB interface for touch control
• Back light control to lower power consumption

Note: to use the LCD with following mini-PCs, additional cables are required and should be purchased separately:
Raspberry Pi Zero: HDMI cable, USB-type-A-receptacle-to-Micro-B-plug-cable
BB Black: HDMI cable

For revisions under Rev2.1:
