A card machine is a small embedded computer, also known as a single board computer or embedded single board computer. It usually consists of a microprocessor, memory, input/output interfaces, and other peripherals that can perform a variety of computing, control, and communication tasks.
Operating steps of a card machine
The operating steps of a card machine are roughly as follows:
1. Preparation
Before using a card machine, you need to prepare the relevant hardware and software. Hardware includes single-board computers, monitors, keyboards, mice and so on, and software includes operating systems, applications and so on.
2. Booting
After connecting the single-board computer to the power supply, the system will automatically boot up and load the operating system. During the boot process, you can follow the prompts to make settings, such as setting the system time, language, etc.
3. Running applications
After the system boots, various applications can be run. For example, you can use a text editor to write documents, a browser to browse the Web, and graphics software to draw graphics.
4. Saving data
When using the card machine, you need to pay attention to save data in time. You can save the data in the hard disk, U disk and other storage devices for the next use.
5. Shut down the system
After use, you need to shut down the system. It can be shut down through the shutdown function of the operating system, or you can just disconnect the power supply.
