After launch this X720 board, it is popular with raspberry pi lovers with its combination of
multiple functions.
For the shell script for X720, include safe shutdown and real time clock script, you can refer to: github.com/geekworm-com/x720-script , and we test this shell script base official Raspbian '2018-11-13-raspbian-stretch.img' version;
Also there is a X720 aluminum case is specially designed to intall X720 board and your
