Hello AndreaN.
In theory, you can connect it, but there are some points:
- in the current builds of the operating systems from Friendly there is no support for the SPI interface, and it is the main one for transmitting the image to the display;
- in the current builds of the operating systems from Friendly there is no support for the image output mechanism (terminal or Desktop) via the SPI interface, i.e. will have to use solutions from other manufacturers (this is the smallest problem.)

Sincerely, Pavel.

thank you very much for the help,
can I hope in a future support or not?

You should turn to the alternative operating system "Armbian", there it seems to solve the problem of including SPI.
And of course, taking the opportunity to ask the manufacturer a question - friends !!! Make a normal assembly of the system, rewrite the "npi-config" under the chip RK-3399. After all, you have already done a lot!

Thank you Pavel,
so such support depends on OS? (sorry for the dumb question)
I know Armbian but I want to use Android (since I want to use the 13.2MP MIPI Camera Module which seems to work only on Android), what about support on Android?
thank you

The motherboard manufacturer doesn’t very quickly optimize the operating systems of his build, but they do it and they’ll have to do it anyway, since the boards are not badly sold and new modules for it are released (for example, this one http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_M4_SATA_HAT), so we are waiting for patience.
On Android, it will not work with a probability of 99%.
The 13.2MP MIPI camera works on Lunux while it's crooked, but it works.

Thank you
what about the support for this camera on Armbian?
I am thinking to install this OS at this point
