FriendlyARM NanoPi NEO & AIR

= Identification = Small, square board, blue soldermask, ⌀3mm mounting holes in the corners. USB type-A, Ethernet jack (with integrated magnetics) and four-pin header for UART/power near one of the edges, microSD and USB micro-B at opposite edge mounted on top side, 12 and 24 GPIO pin headers (not fitted, pads only) near other edges. Allwinner H3 and single DDR3 chip mounted on the bottom. Sticker indicating amount of RAM is placed on the Ethernet jack.

On the top side of the board, next to USB A connector, the following is silkscreened: FRIENDLYARM NanoPi NEO

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

Sunxi/Legacy U-Boot
Use the  build target.

Mainline U-Boot
Use the  build target.

Sunxi/Legacy Kernel
Use the  file.

Mainline kernel
Use the  device-tree binary.

= Tips, Tricks, Caveats =

FEL mode
No FEL button. UBOOT/FEL signal pulled-up by R254 (10kΩ, mounted on the bottom side, close to H3).

LEDs
The board has two LEDs, mounted on the top side, between micro USB and microSD:
 * A red LED, labelled "PWR", connected to the PL10 pin and to 3.3V via weak pull-up, thus being able to represent three states:
 * full brightness when GPIO is set to output high
 * reduced brightness when GPIO is set to high impedance state
 * turned off when GPIO is set to output low.
 * A blue LED, labelled "STAT", connected to the PA10 pin.

= Locating the UART =



Four-pin UART0 header is placed next to USB type-A connector. Pinout: GND, 5V, TX, RX. Pin 1 (GND) is the one furthest from the board edge. Logic voltage is 3.3V. For more instructions refer to our UART Howto.
