Usecase : LP Alpha 864s, with activated Win10 - Put a new win10 install on a new M2 SSD with all the original drivers in place.

Problems #1 : I saw all the problems described in this forum thread. The LP alpha images on dropbox are not usable etc - I am not even sure what images they are; I think they are rstrui images, not bootable install images. The microsoft man page to create "bootable USB disk" is also not useful because that method requires an iso image for the bootloader to mount.

Problem #2 : Installed new win10 20h2 on SSD using win10 installation media creator. Easy enough. But then I ran into the unknown and misidentified driver issues. The only recommendation from LP team was to do the intel chipset driver update, which only took care of BT driver. The Intel Gaussian mixture model/1911, serial IO, XR21 USB-UART, ReakTek drivers were not recognized. I needed the SIO/USB UART drivers.

My solution : Luckily, I left my emmc untouched (just disabled it in bios), so I could always boot into the as-shipped drive. I copy/pastad the system32\DriverStore\FileRepository into my SSD. When I booted back into the SSD, I could use devmgmt to update unknown/misidentified drivers using the filerepo location. Funnily, it worked - like it should have if I had been smart about it yesterday. (Usually there's reg hacks to take care of, but this is exactly the same machine and no major reg changes between 20h2 and 1803)

Outcome : Got the superficial results I wanted - No unknown drivers and everything looks like in as-shipped install. Still need to check if the system behavior is at parity.

Opens : Long-term influence of wuaclt on sys behavior; HW stability w installed drivers;

As stated in the subject, my dream is to create a 7" PDA-phone like the Gemini PDA (https://store.planetcom.co.uk/products/gemini-pda-1) or better the "now crowfounding" Cosmo Communicator (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/cosm ... #/comments).

Ok, I know this is not a simple project, but that is what I need: an all-in-one 7" notebook + smartphone + physical keyboard. So, why not to buy the Cosmo Communicator? Since I think it has a main drawback: I don't want to "open it" just to answer a simple Whatsapp message while I'm walking: the 2.5" display on the front simply (obviously) won't support an "on-screen" keyboard.

So I studied a case where the (single) 7" LCD is on the front, and the keyboard simply "slides out" from the bottom, while lettin you tilt the screen (I don't know if I made it clear...)

Anyway: do you think LattePanda could be the right board for this project? Those shoud be the "main" components needed:

- board
- LTE shield
- 7" LCD touch screen
- keyboard
- battery

But here is the "first main" question I'm thinking about:

will the installed Android be capable of managing the rest of the hardware? Mainly the LTE shield: I was thinking about an Arduino shield..., but also the 7" LCD touch screen)

This is only the question I'm thinking about right now, but I know there's a lot of other problems.

So please let me know what do you think about it.

Thank you.

either not getting DC12V feed (or voltage is too low thus only seeing Red-Arduino-LED blinking), <-- check with a multimeter
or
the DC 4-pin part of power path is broken.

^^^ I am assuming the USB-C power feed is functioning normally (Blue LED blinking, and after pressing the POWER button, Blue_LED turns into sold Blue) which means the LPA main board function is still okay.
