1*4882a593SmuzhiyunIntro
2*4882a593Smuzhiyun=====
3*4882a593Smuzhiyun
4*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe instructions herein are valid for the FriendlyARM NanoPi NEO,
5*4882a593Smuzhiyunboth the 256MiB and 512MiB versions. They should also work for the
6*4882a593SmuzhiyunNanoPi NEO Air, but this is untested so far.
7*4882a593Smuzhiyun
8*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe FriendlyARM Nanopi NEO is a 4x4cm² board with an Allwiner H3 SoC:
9*4882a593Smuzhiyun  - quad-core Cortex-A7 @1.2GHz
10*4882a593Smuzhiyun  - 256 or 512MiB of DDR
11*4882a593Smuzhiyun  - uSDCard as only storage option
12*4882a593Smuzhiyun  - 3x USB 2.0 host (one socket, two on expansion pin-holes)
13*4882a593Smuzhiyun  - 1x USB 2.0 OTG (also used as power source)
14*4882a593Smuzhiyun  - 10/100 ethernet MAC
15*4882a593Smuzhiyun  - GPIOs, SPI, I2c...
16*4882a593Smuzhiyun
17*4882a593SmuzhiyunSupport for the Nanopi NEO in U-Boot and Linux is very recent, so only
18*4882a593Smuzhiyuncore, basic features are available.
19*4882a593Smuzhiyun
20*4882a593SmuzhiyunUnfortunately, support for the ethernet MAC and the USB OTG are not
21*4882a593Smuzhiyunyet upstream, but are being actively worked on.
22*4882a593Smuzhiyun
23*4882a593Smuzhiyun
24*4882a593SmuzhiyunHow to build
25*4882a593Smuzhiyun============
26*4882a593Smuzhiyun
27*4882a593Smuzhiyun    $ make friendlyarm_nanopi_neo_defconfig
28*4882a593Smuzhiyun    $ make
29*4882a593Smuzhiyun
30*4882a593SmuzhiyunNote: you will need access to the internet to download the required
31*4882a593Smuzhiyunsources.
32*4882a593Smuzhiyun
33*4882a593SmuzhiyunYou will then obtain an image ready to be written to your micro SDcard:
34*4882a593Smuzhiyun
35*4882a593Smuzhiyun    $ dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
36*4882a593Smuzhiyun
37*4882a593SmuzhiyunNotes:
38*4882a593Smuzhiyun  - replace 'sdX' with the actual device with your micro SDcard,
39*4882a593Smuzhiyun  - you may need to be root to do that (use 'sudo').
40*4882a593Smuzhiyun
41*4882a593SmuzhiyunInsert the micro SDcard in your NanoPi NEO and power it up. The console
42*4882a593Smuzhiyunis on the serial line, 115200 8N1.
