Sunxi support

Current status

Not yet supported, but U-Boot and kernel support WIP. Since it uses the AC200 integrated 100MBit Ethernet PHY, it relies on pending mainline support for the chip to have working Ethernet.

Manual build

You can build things for yourself by following our Manual build howto and by choosing from the configurations available below.

Mainline U-Boot

Mainline Linux Kernel

Tips, Tricks, Caveats

Add MANUFACTURER DEVICE specific tips, tricks, Caveats and nice to have changes here.

FEL mode

The button on the top of the PCB triggers FEL mode mode (to be confirmed). It is reachable through the CVBS connector..

Device specific topic

If there are no further device specific topics to add, remove these sections.

...

Adding a serial port (voids warranty)

X96QPro UART pads

To get access to the UART pads, you have to open the box.

Device disassembly

To open up the case, remove the feet to expose the screws.

Locating the UART

The UART pads are located on the top right of the device PCB, between USB 1 and the CVBS socket, providing RX, TX and GND signals, as pictured. The assignment is printed on the other side. To solder some wires or pins, just remove the PCB (three screws). To route the wires outside the case, you could drill a small hole anywhere to the right on the pcb where there is an empty space in the case. Once done, follow the UART howto.
