Board-specific installation notes

First follow the generic installation steps to get the installer image.

U-Boot needs to be copied to specific sectors on the microSD card with dd. Download U-Boot for the board (uboot-Linksprite_pcDuino3_Nano_defconfig-2015.07_u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin), and copy it to the correct location with (again, replace /dev/sdX with the correct path to the SD card device):

sudo dd if=uboot-Linksprite_pcDuino3_Nano_defconfig-2015.07_u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/sdX bs=1024 seek=8

Then, install using the installation and configuration steps.

Serial console

Notes about the boot process

USB keyboards and HDMI displays work perfectly. Also a 3.3v serial port via the 3-pin header works.
