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

| How to build |
| ============ |
| |
| $ make nanopi_neo_defconfig |
| $ make |
| |
| Note: you will need access to the internet to download the required |
| sources. |
| |
| You will then obtain an image ready to be written to your micro SDcard: |
| |
| $ dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M |
| |
| Notes: |
| - replace 'sdX' with the actual device with your micro SDcard, |
| - you may need to be root to do that (use 'sudo'). |
| |
| Insert the micro SDcard in your NanoPi NEO and power it up. The console |
| is on the serial line, 115200 8N1. |
