FAQ / TAO / TAO 1tiny Power And Upgrade

TAO 1tiny power, camera, and upgrade checklist

TAO 1tiny power, camera, and upgrade checklist

Overview

TAO 1tiny issues usually come down to power specification, camera compatibility, or firmware sequencing.

Applies to

TAO 1tiny

Power requirements

  • Use a charger that supports PD or QC.
  • A practical target is PD 12V / 1.5A or higher, with 2A preferred.
  • Screen flicker is often a power-specification problem rather than a display fault.

Camera behavior

  • TAO 1tiny is designed around matched camera hardware. Third-party cameras can behave unpredictably.
  • If the camera indicator is on but there is no image, re-check the HDMI cable, display chain, and the camera connection itself before moving to firmware steps.
  • TAO 1tiny can provide 5V / 1A forced output power for its matched tiny camera, so an extra power feed to the camera is not normally required.

Firmware upgrade process

  • Use a U-disk connected to the USB 2.0 interface.
  • The device upgrades automatically when it finds the valid package.
  • Do not disconnect power during the upgrade.
  • Some higher versions require an intermediate version first. For example, version 1.15.5.22 expects the unit to already be on 1.13.5.16.

Control and service notes

  • Camera control is expected through an external Bluetooth remote connected via USB 2.0.
  • The housing is not intended for replacement service.
