			** Detach all wiring.
			** Hold volume and power for about 3 secs. Screen will remain black, but green light should turn on.
			** Connecting USB and running lsusb should give you a device with an ID of 1f3a:efe8
			** Build sunxi-tools and "$ ./sunxi-fel ver" should return a string like: AWUSBFEX soc=00001625(A13) 00000001 ver=0001 44 08 scratchpad=00007e00 00000000 00000000
