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. 43
