This HowTo section is the index of our Photo-Tour illustrated, How-To posts.
Intended as a visual solution to spanning the multi-lingual gap.
Each entry here has a short abstract with an in-line link to that page.

1. Locating the board interface connections

Photo detail of the HDP-R1 and HDP-R3 interface connection points.
Note: The eJTAG connection points are not confirmed to be where shown.

2. Opening the HDP-R1 and HDP-R3 Media Players

The Opening the O!Play photos are taken of the HDP-R3 (O!Play Air) and the minor differences to the HDP-R1 are noted.

3. O!Play thermal management modification

The Realtek SoC is well known to be a hot running chip.
This thermal management modification Photo-Tour illustrates how to improve the SoC cooling.

4. Adding external serial port connector.

Several ways to add external access for the serial port.

5. Adding external Wifi antenna connectors.

The O!Play Air has rather small, internal, duplex antennas.
This modification is covered in three blog posts:
Rubber Duck (what the external ears are named) Parts links
Location of external connectors: External Connectors Home
For better range and/or better signal strength, adding connectors for external Wifi antennas is one solution.

6. Opening the PoppPC MS-30

A quick photo tour of opening the PoppPC, PoppStar MS-30 Media Player.
