Throughout this document, references are made to certain board connectors, headers and switches. There are also six activity LEDs on the board. These items are described further in this section
+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------------+
| Board Identifier | Description | Behavior |
+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------------+
| J8 | Low Speed Connector | This connector contains |
| | | low speed peripheral |
| | | signals just as UART and |
| | | GPIO. In context of |
| | | this document, we use it |
| | | for connecting the UART. |
+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------------+
| S6 | 4 channel Dip Switch | Located on the back of |
| | | the board, this Switch |
| | | provides some manual |
| | | configuration settings. |
| | | In context of this |
| | | document, it is used to |
| | | select boot order (SD |
| | | Card first or eMMC |
| | | first) OTG modes. |

Located by the USB ports are a series of LEDs used to provide information to the user. Their usage is defined as follows:
When Debian-based images are installed, the following table defines the LED usage/behaviors.
+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------------+
| LED Board Identifier | Description | Behavior |
+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------------+
| User LED 1 | Heartbeat | Green: This LED is |
| | | should always be |
| | | blinking about once a |
| | | second. If solid off or |
| | | solid on, the board is |
| | | not executing correctly |
+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------------+
| User LED 2 | eMMC | Green: This LED blinks |
| | | during accesses to eMMC |
+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------------+
| User LED 3 | SD | Green: This LED blinks |
| | | during accesses to SD |
| | | Card |
+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------------+
| User LED 4 | currently unassigned | N/A |
+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------------+
| Wifi | Wifi | Yellow: This LED blinks |
| | | during network accesses |
| | | over Wifi |
+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------------+
| BT | Bluetooth | Yellow: This LED blinks |
| | | when Bluetooth is being |
| | | used |
+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------------+
When Android-based images are installed, the following table defines the LED usage/behaviors.
+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------------+
| LED Board Identifier | Description | Behavior |
+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------------+
| User LED 1 | currently unassigned | Green: |
+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------------+
| User LED 2 | currently unassigned | Green: |
| | | |
+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------------+
| User LED 3 | currently unassigned | Green: |
| | | |
| | | |
+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------------+
| User LED 4 | Boot | This LED illuminates at |
| | | at the start of boot |
| | | and turns of after |
| | | completion of boot. |
+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------------+
| Wifi | Wifi | Yellow: TDB |
+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------------+
| BT | Bluetooth | Yellow: TBD |

On this board, both USB Host and USB On-The-Go (OTG) are available, however they cannot be used simultaneously. OTG is used by the bootloader for fastboot. USB Host is also supported.
To use USB OTG:
- plug a micro USB cable in J4 connector and the other end of the cable plugged into the host PC. Note that if either end of this cable is disconnected, USB OTG mode will not be entered. Nothing else is required as the software auto-detects the USB connection and places the DB410c into OTG mode
- Note the when in this mode, devices such as keyboard and mouse may not work on the DB410c
To use USB Host:
- unplug the micro USB cable from J4. The software will auto-detect no connection on J4 and will enter USB Host mode.
- plug one (or more) USB devices into J2 or J3 such as a keyboard, mouse, etc.
Note that several keyboards, mice, USB Memory sticks, ethernet adaptors and other peripherals have been tested. However, there is still as chance that your device might not work properly. If this occurs, please submit a bug to the 96Boards bug tracking system located here.
If you use an ethernet dongle, once you configure the USB in HOST mode, and insert the dongle, the physical ethernet connection should automatically be established (generally as eth0, assuming that an active physical connection exists on the ethernet cable):
