Hi Vojta,
I don't have any experience with these boards. Both have SD card and
Ethernet, so booting using U-Boot should not be a problem. Also in both
cases there seems to be UART connected to the GPIO port, which will be very
useful (with the proper cable). An important consideration is how well the
board is documented. Quartz64 seems to have excellent documentation
available. NanoPi ... I'm not sure, there is some documentation, just not
sure if it has all you might need.. you want to make sure (in case of ARM
the important things are .. memory map, cache architecture, I/O port map...)
Regards,
Jiri

Předmět: [HelenOS-devel] Single-board suitable for HelenOS?
"Hello,
we are discussing a potential student project where we would like to
play with some recent single-board machine and bring HelenOS to it.
The student has come up with Quartz64 model A board [1] and with
NanoPI NEO [2]. Both are ARM architectures, both with Ethernet
connectivity.
[1] https://pine64.org/devices/quartz64_model_a/
[2] https://www.friendlyelec.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=
132
None of these is directly supported AFAIK but both ARMv8 and ARMv7 are
known to HelenOS.
So my question is if someone has some direct experience with these and
if you can spot something that would be a major blocker for running
HelenOS on any of these boards? Or if you have some other tips, they
would be more than welcome.
We are somehow leaning towards the cheaper NanoPI NEO but it is still
in early phase at the moment.
Thanks in advance for any hints :-)
Cheers,
- Vojtech
