Power & Source of Big Ideas

CVBS (Composite Video Baseband Signal) is a connection for CVBS/FBAS Video Output and not for a clock-battery:

Can you power the NanoPi Duo2 with the 5V In/Out pin and a ground instead of using the USB input?


Yes - you can power your Duo2 via these pins ;)

Hi.
Can I use the board NanoPi NEO Air with Ethernet?

Directly not, but ypu can buy a WiFi Bridge (like Vonets) and connect the Air to the WiFi on the WiFi Bridge and on the other side of the bridge is a Ethernet-Connector....

Did you take a look at the wiki-page for the 1307-matrix-rtc?:

because the R2S is supported by armbian you could use the armbian-build-system to generate u-boot and linux for the R2S:

you can check that if you only install usbip - if you could fine then the complied modules on your system.

It look like this package does have the modules compiled from the source-package.
I think the next should be the H6 because of the QuadCore A53 (like the H5).

The H5 isnt displayed anymore at the Allwinner H-Series page:

The blue connector isnt VGA. Its a DB9 serial-RS232 connector.
The NanoPi Neo2 hasnt Video-Out - so you cant connect VGA or HDMI.

The NanoPi Neo2 is build to use it headless (without a monitor) and only remote or via the serial Debug-Port.

with armbian the PCM5102A hat is working with
mainline kernel 4.19
AND
dev-kernel 5.3.3

I used the debian buster version of armbian for that ;)

there you could see on the upper left 2 Pins for +5V IN/OUT (5V VDD) and then after the 3.3V (OUT-Pin - do connect nothing to this) is GND = Minus/earth

Hi!
What's the best option to connect a monitor to the Zeropi?
I have either a USB monitor, or a monitor with HDMI or VGA connection.

because there is no VGA/HDMI you could only use USB or a remote-desktop session (RDP/VNC/SSH)
