Radxa NIO 12L

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?
    • Regarding Armbian this is currently not possible as we cannot utilize 4096 sector sizes for our partitions. Follow this issue to see what the current status is.
  • Can I make use of UFS as a Data Partition inside of Linux?
    • Yes.
  • Which kernels are available?
    • We’re making use of Collabora’s mediatek-next branch which is based on mainline Linux.
    • There is also a highly experimental BSP branch from Canonical’s Ubuntu on Genio available. This one is lacking support for various important features like GPU acceleration on Desktop and therefore is meant for developers only.
  • XYZ is not working.
    • Check this support matrix to see if that feature has been implemented already.
