NanoPi NE03 Plus is a tiny, headless single-board PC for $24
The FriendlyELEC NanoPi NE03 Plus is a tiny single-board computer (SBC) that measures 48 x 48mm (1.9″ x 1.9″) and features a 2 GHz Rockchip RK3528A quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 processor with Mali-450 graphics.
While the little computer isn’t exactly a speed demon, it is cheap. The NanoPi NE03 Plus available now for $24. But while it’s a nice step up from the original NEO03 Plus that launched in […]

I'm very happy to announce that thanks to a donor who wishes to remain anonymous, I have in my hands a FriendlyElec NanoPi M6 - in this configuration, a tiny fanless desktop #microPC based on the Rockchip RK3588S processor.
I've had my eye on this device to fill the role of ultraportable desktop PC, especially in the event my laptop ever breaks or is lost/stolen, which would instantly render me unable to work if I didn't have a backup.
because of this generous gift, I'll be able to put the #NanoPi M6 to the test, and answer my top-of-line question: just how usable is this device as a light-duty desktop PC running Linux right now, in 2026? how well is the hardware supported? will I have problems getting work done?
I'm looking forward to having answers to all that and more. be sure to keep an eye on the Peertube channel @surfhosting.cc in the coming weeks and months ... and thank you so much to my donor, you know who you are!

Booted #FriendlyELEC NanoPC-T6 again.
One minor DT patch sent.
HDMI Receiver can be enabled but all I get are errors:
```
fdee0000.hdmi_receiver: hdmirx_wait_signal_lock: signal not lock, tmds_clk_ratio:0
fdee0000.hdmi_receiver: hdmirx_wait_signal_lock: mu_st:0x2, scdc_st:0x0, dma_st10:0x10
```I have no plans for further investigation of this. Sent patch anyway.
There is also NPU enablement to do. Simple, but not looked yet how to test it.

NanoPi R76S is a 2.5 inch router board with dual 2.5 GbE LAN ports, HDMI, and a RK3576 processor
It’s been less than two weeks since FriendlyELEC introduced the NanoPi R3S-LTS as a cheap, tiny router board with a Rokchip RK3566 processor, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, and an HDMI port for video output.
Now the company has introduced a new model that’s a tiny bit larger, but significantly more powerful. The NanoPi R76S has a Rockchip RK3576 processor, support for up to 16GB of RAM, dual […]

NanoPi R3S-LTS is a cheap, tiny router board with audio and video output
When FriendlyElec launched the NanoPi R3S last year, the tiny single-board computer was positioned as a router board that packed two Gigabit Ethernet ports and a Rockchip RK3566 processor into a board measuring just 57 x 57mm (2.24″ x 2.24″).
Now the company has added a new model to its lineup that adds a few features the original was missing: including an HDMI 2.0 port for video output, as […]

FriendlyELEC NanoPi M5 : une autre SBC sous Rockchip RK3576

My #FriendlyElec NanoPC-T6 got a stand.
Need to do some fixes to it so there is a chance to learn #freecad on a way.

but thankfully there are parts of my #surfhosting tech stack which are fairly settled already:
OS: #LinuxMint; #Debian (with #LXQt if needed, or #BunsenLabs); #OpenWRT
Virtualization: #Proxmox
Hardware: refurb "1-liter" #1LPC business #miniPC from HP, Dell, Lenovo, with mid to high end CPU
Network: #GLiNet and #FriendlyElec #NanoPi routers / network-attached devices; #PiVPN
Phone: #VoipMS with dedicated SIP phone, plus softphone apps for limited use
Power: 90% of everything powered from compact #GaN USB-PD power supplies; 24/7 gear backed by ~15 year old consumer UPSes with drop-in LFP 12V batteries

Another set of patches to send.
#FriendlyElec NanoPC-T6 video outputs work fine.
Left screen is FullHD, right one is 3440x1440. Sound works on both.
Refresh limited to 60Hz (big monitor can do 75).
Booted linux-next to have all required changes.
-
Decided to bring #FriendlyELEC NanoPC-T6 a bit further with features.
USB 2/3 works now, HDMI0 output works, keys works, IR receiver works.
So let get HDMI0 sound working. Hm. kernel shouts on me.
Maybe HDMI1 output then? kernel oopses.
Maybe I should go for something else.

I see that #FriendlyElec has come out with a successor to the NanoPi M4 called the NanoPi M6.
https://wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_M6
I saw the #NanoPi M6 when looking at the list of boards with platinum Armbian support.
I set up Armbian and installed #LXQt on the M4 yesterday, which is a substantially slower system than the M6, and it's pretty usable for basic low-complexity desktop stuff. Youtube in Chromium with UBlock Lite is pretty serviceable.
the fact it has Armbian platinum support is a selling point. less lock-in to FriendlyElec's custom Debian/Ubuntu releases. #miniPC

the #FriendlyELEC NanoPi R5S, tiny #OpenWRT ethernet router, #unboxing

I ran BSA ACS on #FriendlyELEC NanoPC-T6 today. Terrible...
Had to tweak MCFG table to hide segment 1 of PCIe controller (board uses 0+1 to handle x4 m.2 connector). Then got 1024 root ports in addition to 8 existing pcie devices.
No GIC ITS in ACPI tables. And so on and on.
Will have to fork edk2-rk3588 and do some hacks.

The FriendlyELEC CM3588 NVMe NAS Kit

Another #FriendlyElec NanoPC-T6 change merged upstream.
Enabled video output on HDMI1 port (commit says HDMI0 cause code counts them 0/1, device case has 1/2).
Video output stuff is on a way to upstream - done by Cristian Ciocaltea from Collabora.

If someone uses #FriendlyELEC NanoPC-T6 LTS then check this patchset from Jonas Karlman:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/2024101720[email protected]/
It adds detection of NanoPC-T6 variants into U-Boot so both board variants are now recognized.
