h1. Introduction 

 For now please see the general core manual on the main page. This was written for other boards and has not been updated for the EclaireXL, but the background is useful.

 h1. Power requirements 

 USB B 5V input. 500mA is enough but I'd go with 1-2A to give some extra for any connected devices. 

 [[Known good power supplies]] 

 h1. Board setup videos 

 I put together some basic videos for the v2 boards:

 h1. SD card setup 

 The OS and basic rom are loaded from the flash chip in the new cores, this can still be overridden by the sd card as discussed here:

 h1. Cases 

 In theory any mini ITX case should work as long as it has a full size IO panel. 

 In practice, please check this list of [[known good cases]]. If you have success with another one, please add it. 

 h1. Keyboard 

 The EclaireXL has USB ports for keyboard and game controllers (in addition to the DB9 ports). There is no native Atari keyboard port (though the GPIOs could be used) so you will have to use a PC style USB keyboard. See below for details of how the keys are mapped, since it may not be what you are expecting!
