How to install
Radxa-Nio-12L uses EFI Boot via Grub with DeviceTree. To make use of it follow this Guide from Collabora to flash Uboot onto the UFS storage. Then you can flash one of the provided images onto a SD-Card and power on the SBC which will automatically boot into Armbian. Keep in mind the Boot order has UFS at first place so you need to erase any OS you have on on UFS to boot from a SD Card.
Q&A for Genio-Family:
- Can I boot from UFS?
- Yes just make sure to use the Armbian image with the UFS extension as these are partioned with 4096 sector size instead of the 512 used commonly for SD-Card / NVMe / etc.
- Which kernels are available?
- We’re making use of Collabora’s mediatek-next branch which is based on mainline Linux.
- XYZ is not working.
- Check this support matrix to see if that feature has been implemented already.
Hold power button for about 7-8 seconds to power the device up. Boot log: http://ix.io/1r19
