Hi guys, I'm posting this because there are no linux images available for the Nanopi-k2 out from Friendlyarm yet, I've spent the last few days playing with the board and getting help from the great guys over at Armbian and managed to get a workaround to loading Armbian on the board for now. The board runs very well and i'm sure you will enjoy it.


Check out the video and downloads are in the description.

Thank you so much kicker. We'll have a look of linux on k2.

There are also official armbian images too, legacy and mainline kernel. Experimental.

Hi guys, I´m using the last armbian image, but I didn´t patch them, and of course the image doesn´t have hw acceleration for video. Could you please explain me the process to patch the image to have hw aceleration on video?
Thanks in advance

Diego.
