Booting

  • Solder wires to the debug UART to get a root shell
  • The preinstalled U-Boot is next to useless. If you can get a U-Boot shell (by deleting or patching bootdelay in the U-Boot environment), you will face the problem that it doesn't support Ethernet, USB or µSD.
  • The boot ROM boots from a µSD card, if one is inserted

Hardware

  • Allwinner H313/H616
    • 4x Cortex-A53
    • Mali Midgard GPU
  • Two RAM/eMMC configurations are advertised:
    • 1 GiB RAM, 8 GiB eMMC
    • 2 GiB RAM, 16 GiB eMM
  • What is actually observed (in jn's unit) is different:
    • 1 GiB RAM (but the vendor kernel fakes 2 GiB in /proc/meminfo), 14.6 GiB eMMC
  • exposed debug serial port
  • AXP305 PMIC
  • XR819 WiFi
  • read/green status LED
  • IR diode for remote input
  • 2x USB, Ethernet, HDMI, µSD slot, AV jack, IR jack
