Hi everyone, I try to set up a PN532 (correctly set to HSU mode) module on a NanoPi Neo Air with UART. I'm using a 3.3V output, ground, and UART1_TX/GPIOG6 connected to PN532 Rx and UART1_RX/GPIOG7 connected to PN532 Tx. I'm trying to read serial with : cat /dev/ttyS1 (I've tried S0,S1,S2) or with ...

Hi everybody,

I want to load ubuntu 20.04 to core4418 (s5p4418). Is there any image file.

Tahnks.
Good Day.

If you can come up with something like this:
https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/1416
you will also have all future versions.

Hello

You have a really great product R4S. Thanks for it!

How do I get the board out of the housing? I would have to go to the UART interface

I might want to evaluate M4 and have my truck all set. I've been glancing through the discussion and couldn't discover anything.

Is there a connector I have to run nvme ( M.2 2280 ) on the NanoPi M4?

That's on T4. With M4 it comes with a case / addon.

Hi

If there is a sdcard the NanoPi R1 boots of sdcard.

I want boot from emmc first.

I want this boot sequence.

1) emmc
2) sdcard

Thanks

I've been using a R2S board for a while and after rebooting it to apply a new configuration option (port forwarding), the device's power LED started blinking. 2 blinks per second approx.

Thank you I know about armbian... but the support and compatibility is not the same as with a specific image including all available peripherals. Its not the same true, its probably better. Hardware wise and also on userland level. Legacy kernel is the same: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/ma...

I think you are biased toward armbian. I want to figure out the exact steps without using third party tools Yes I am biased, but I am showing you the fastest track to build and learn.

To me, https://github.com/friendlyarm/sd-fuse_rk3328 seems more digestible than armbian. Armbian is a huge codebase. Understanding a huge code base is more difficult than reading documents. That code base is preparing things to compile u-boot. With Armbian you run ./compile "u-boot" and i...

For that you will have to look elsewhere.

Things are far more complex

Armbian kills great portion of that complexity and I agree it could be done more.

Ok, understood. I can send the rk3328-nanopi-neo3-rev02.dts if I have an email address. Please note, the rk3328-codec is not supported on Neo3, instead the pcm5201a codec has been configured, this works fine. This https://docs.armbian.com/Process_Contribute/ is best/recommended/most convenient way....

not clear what you are trying to express Armbian implementation could be few months quicker and we already provide mainline 5.8.y based kernels with many specific and general problems fixed. armbian did not work either. Yeah, DT is the same. https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/board...

You will need to contact Allwinner for that info. IMO for right quantity, no limits.

Hi,

can anybody tell me the Longevity Strategy support of Allwinner H3 SoC? It looks like it was released in 2014.

Don't worry about. Support is almost fully mainlined by now.
