Which board do I have?

Every board has its model and revision printed on it, next to the Kulp Lights logo (for example K16-Max v4.1.0). FPP also shows the model on its Status page and under Help → About.

To tell them apart at a glance:

Older Kulp boards

This manual covers the PocketBeagle 2 boards and the BeagleBone Black and Raspberry Pi boards Kulp Lights sells now, plus the retired K16A-B and K32A-B. Some older BeagleBone Black and PocketBeagle 1 boards have their own manuals:
