4The instructions herein are valid for the FriendlyARM NanoPi NEO,
5both the 256MiB and 512MiB versions. They should also work for the
6NanoPi NEO Air, but this is untested so far.
7
8The FriendlyARM Nanopi NEO is a 4x4cm² board with an Allwiner H3 SoC:
9 - quad-core Cortex-A7 @1.2GHz
10 - 256 or 512MiB of DDR
11 - uSDCard as only storage option
12 - 3x USB 2.0 host (one socket, two on expansion pin-holes)
13 - 1x USB 2.0 OTG (also used as power source)
14 - 10/100 ethernet MAC
15 - GPIOs, SPI, I2c...
16
17Support for the Nanopi NEO in U-Boot and Linux is very recent, so only
18core, basic features are available.
19
20Unfortunately, support for the ethernet MAC and the USB OTG are not
21yet upstream, but are being actively worked on.

24How to build
25============
26
27 $ make friendlyarm_nanopi_neo_defconfig
28 $ make
29
30Note: you will need access to the internet to download the required
31sources.
32
33You will then obtain an image ready to be written to your micro SDcard:
34
35 $ dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
36
37Notes:
38 - replace 'sdX' with the actual device with your micro SDcard,
39 - you may need to be root to do that (use 'sudo').
40
41Insert the micro SDcard in your NanoPi NEO and power it up. The console
42is on the serial line, 115200 8N1.
