4.2 Lagringshåndtering

The 32GB eMMC storage can become tight, especially with Windows 10 and additional development tools like Visual Studio. To manage storage effectively:

• Regularly clean up temporary files and unnecessary applications.
• Utilize external storage (USB drives, microSD cards) for large files og prosjekter.
• Consider setting up a shared network drive if working with other computers.

4.3 Programvareoppdateringer

Ensure your Windows 10 operating system is kept up-to-date with the latest security patches and feature updates. This helps maintain system stability and security.

5. Feilsøking

5.1 Board Not Powering On

• Strømforsyning: Verify that you are using a 5V power adapter with at least 2.1A output and a good quality MicroUSB cable.
• Strømknapp: Ensure you are pressing the correct microswitch for approximately 1 second. Short or multiple presses may not initiate boot.

5.2 Overopphetingsproblemer

• Avkjøling: If the board feels excessively hot or performance degrades, consider adding passive heatsinks or an active cooling fan.
• Ventilasjon: Ensure the board has adequate airflow, especially if enclosed in a case.

5.3 Treg ytelse

• Lagring: Check available storage space on the 32GB eMMC. Low space can significantly impact performance. Refer to Section 4.2 for storage management tips.
• Bakgrunnsprosesser: Close unnecessary applications and background processes in Windows 10.
• Termisk regulering: Overheating can cause the CPU to throttle, reducing performance. Address cooling as described in Section 5.2.
