Just got my NanoPC-T1 seems a nice unit, having some issues with the HDMI interface, but I am sure it's OK just have to try a different cable maybe. Connected up via the Android ADT and seems OK. Anyone else been testing one yet? Phil
I recall there was similar on the ORDROID U3 platform ... just maybe: http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=3323
Thanks Dave, ideally I want to run it on my VGA monitor so I got hold of a HDMI to VGA converter. But it does not work, I will get hold of a different converter this weekend and try it again. Phil
I am not sure how to fix an "Input signal out of range" that my monitor is complaining about when running the NanoPC via an HDMI to VGA adapter. Presumably the monitor cannot achieve the 1080 resolution hence the error message, but are there any boot options I can change in the NanoPC? Currently it is set to "LCD-Type = HDMI1080P30" anyone know what options are available so that I can run with an old monitor? Phil
I am aware that other similar boards seem to have trouble with 1080. I can only suggest searching the RaspberryPi and Ordroid U2 forums for some clues. Looks like you have to register: http://forum.odroid.com/search.php?keywords=vga The U2 and U3 have a slightly more capable 4412 chip and there were 5 pages of VGA related postings.
If you use HDMI by linux (not android), friendlyarm's 4412 boards don't support HDMI output. I tried to port odroid kernl 3.8 to tiny4412 because of using HDMI port. I failed why odroid's 4412 board works with secured firmware(I'm not sure.). I don't have any imformation about secure code. I just confirmed some part of secure firmware stops tiny4412 on booting linux.
********SOLVED******** Finally solved the HDMI problem. Change the LCD-Type to HDMI720p60 in the FriendlyARM.ini file. see below LCD-Type = HDMI720p60 LCD-Mode = No CheckCRC32=No However the USB WiFi on the NanoPC-T1 like the Tiny4412 is still not working, can anyone give an update of when Friendlyarm will get this working? Phil
I also just received the NanoPC-T1 in hopes of making a XBMC client out of it. First impressions say that there will be quite a bit of development work still needed to get Android stable on this board. The connection through HDMI straight to my TV is working, but I do get the occasional glitch in the screen. I am also experiencing lag in the mouse cursor along with lag while playing HD video. I had to purposely set the resolution to 720p to remove a lot of the lag associated with the graphics. There also seems to be a decent bit of lag over the network (I've streamed HD through 100mbit no problems before but the NanoPC-T1 seems to want to buffer a lot). That, and the unit itself is getting really hot as well. Any help?
Some discussion on another forum pointing out the lack of a heatsink on the 4412 in this product. I guess I would be verifying that the CPU is the culprit and see what one could do about heatsinking and/or fan. A large amount of traffic on that same forum has to do with video related issues. Sounds like you are getting similar performance c.f. other similar product. Good luck!
Dave, Which forum is that? I am trying to find the most information I can about this product. I take it I can use the tiny4412 sources? It looks like the unit was flashed with the tiny4412 android kernel and base system. As for getting hot, it might be something to do with the software side of things. The case they designed for it is open air and this processor is currently in a phone and tablet or two, no? While a heatsink is a good idea and I'll be adding one along with a fan when I 3D print my case, but I don't think the chip itself should be running that hot.
http://forum.odroid.com/index.php It is 4412 based but the Prime version. I would expect it to be quite similar to the 4412 in this product. > it might be something to do with the software side of things. What, overclocking or different power management setup? Has their forum sprung into life?
Dave, At least with a quick browsing of Odroid forums, it looks like they are having better success with Debian along with Mali drivers/xorg. If I can find out how to boot into debian with this unit, I would do it. Right now I am downloading the tiny4412 DVD, which I hope is in english.
Hi,All We are porting the Odroid software to NanoPC-T1, and going well for now. P.S, Why not Odroid use the Linux kernel 3.8 to higher in android? since it has appeared in Ubuntu 1304 for Odroid. And, the samsung Galaxy S3-i9300 has updated to Android 4.3, I guess Odroid will do that soon, but still Linux-3.0. Mindee
Mindee, That sounds great! I'm sure Android will be a fine OS once it is cleaned up and optimized. I've been running KitKat on my S2 Skyrocket and it's amazing. With extended battery, I am getting close to 5 days out of it and for being years old now, it's smooth as butter and can run XBMC just fine (small screen though). I think that is with a modified 3.0.101 kernel too. Another question I have is the heatsink. Do you think I could get away with running one of those cheap 2 dollar stick on ram heatsinks that are all over ebay and use a quiet fan mounted a top to draw that heat out? I'm hoping that will be enough because other components on the board won't allow a bigger heatsink to fit over everything (height issues).
Hi, Rusty We didn't use heatsink ever, since it's a mobile SOC, and so many mobile phone use it. I don't think it is necessary to overclock. Mindee
Hi Mindee Any news when we will be able to use the usb WiFi with Android on the NanoPC-T1? Phil
Hi Can you help me and answer some questions. How do i get a NanoPC-T1. On this page http://www.andahammer.com/t1-nanopc/ i can add it to card. After this i pay it. But where do i put my address and where are the cost for shiping to germany?
Hi, Phil We are porting the Odroid software to T1, for now the Ubuntu can run very well with HDMI output, we'll release a new ROM soon. for the Android, it will take longer time, anyway, we'll update an Android rom that can use USB wifi correctly, please wait. Mindee
Thanks Mindee, Can you post here when you have a new ROM available for the 4412. Phil
Hi，Phil... we just made a Ubuntu(from Odroid) image for NanoPC-T1/Tiny4412, it is too big, and need a 8g SD card, please try: Linux kernel version: 3.8 Ubuntu: Xubuntu 1304 https://www.dropbox.com/sh/thiub5kgcm7tq4g/xDQkYdru8r Mindee
Hi Mindee The link seems broken. You can email me phil_in_china at yahoo.com Thanks Phil
Hi, Phil Sent, please check mindee
Hi, Mindee Is is available to display by HDMI in Xubuntu 1304 ?
Hi, smile It is Xubuntu 1308
Hello, I just received mine today, nice board, do you know if there is support for Linux + Qt for this board, if so where to get the image? Thanks!
I want buy this board in India, where can i get it...?
Hi please give me a proper channel to buy this board in INDIA. We are waiting for this board. Please send me details at my email id : embedded.555@gmail.com
Hi Mindee, I read that you made an ubuntu image for nanopc. Can I get image please? And how can I install it? Thanks Fabio
Hi Mindee Just installed the latest Android 20140412 (4.2.2) but still no USB WiFi. Any idea when this is going to be fixed on the Tiny4412 and NanoPC Regards Phil
The Android support the USB WiFi, we have test it. It can support Some USB WiFi , but no all USB WiFi. I think the USB WiFi you used is not support by the NanoPC Android
Could you tell me which one's do work. Regards Phil
Mindee, Will the new Ubuntu image work on the new super4412 boards? If yes, where can I get the image now? The dropbox link above is dead. Thank you.
NanopcORG or Mindee Can you tell me which USB WiFi units will work with the NanoPC? I have four different ones' and none of them will work. Phil

Hi james_ind I just purchased a HDMI to VGA convertor locally (no name) and it seemed to work. Maybe try setting the resolution as low as possible. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Phil
