4 The instructions herein are valid for the FriendlyARM NanoPi NEO,
5 both the 256MiB and 512MiB versions. They should also work for the
6 NanoPi NEO Air, but this is untested so far.
8 The 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)
17 Support for the Nanopi NEO in U-Boot and Linux is very recent, so only
18 core, basic features are available.
20 Unfortunately, support for the ethernet MAC and the USB OTG are not
21 yet upstream, but are being actively worked on.
27 $ make nanopi_neo_defconfig
30 Note: you will need access to the internet to download the required
33 You will then obtain an image ready to be written to your micro SDcard:
35 $ dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
38 - replace 'sdX' with the actual device with your micro SDcard,
39 - you may need to be root to do that (use 'sudo').
41 Insert the micro SDcard in your NanoPi NEO and power it up. The console
42 is on the serial line, 115200 8N1.
