Debug Serial UART over USB J1600 (12)
The UART connection used on the Open-Q 845 is a USB micro B connector (J1600). This debug UART is
available over USB via the FTDI FT232RQ chip on the carrier board. To get the serial terminal working
with a PC, user needs to ensure that the appropriate FTDI drivers are installed. Use latest FTDI drivers
https://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm
instead of system update. See item 12 in Figure 1 for the
location of J1600 on the carrier board.

USB 3.1 Type C (for ADB) J2300 (11)
The Open-Q 845 carrier board contains one USB 3.1 Type C connection (J2300). This connection is used
for Android debug bridge (ADB) functionality. To get the adb shell, ensure that the board is up and
running and connect the Type C cable between the board and the PC. Type the command adb root and
adb shell on the PC prompt to exercise the adb shell functionality. While ADB utilizes only the high-
speed channel, this USB type C connector supports the USB 3.1 specification including the super speed
data channel. This USB connection is also uses as the charge source when the dev kit is powered by a
battery and battery charging is enabled (see section 3.7.3 above). See item 11 in Figure 1 for the location
of J2300 on the carrier board.
3.7.10 USB 3.1 Type A Connector J2400 (5)
The Open-Q 845 carrier board contains one USB Type A connector J2400 situated on the north side of
carrier board, which exposes USB 3.1 host functionality. This USB connection is designed to provide up
