• The NanoPC-T3 Plus octa-core single board computer is designed and developed by FriendlyELEC for professional and enterprise users. It uses the Samsung Octa-Core Cortex-A53 S5P6818 SoC. Compared to the FriendlyELEC NanoPC-T2 the NanoPC-T3 Plus not only has all the T2’s interfaces and ports but also has a more powerful SoC. Its dynamic frequency scales from 400M up to 1.4GHz. The NanoPC-T3 Plus has 16G eMMC onboard, audio jack, video input/output interfaces, built-in WiFi, Bluetooth and Gbps Ethernet port. In addition the NanoPC-T3 Plus) has power management, on board porcelain antenna and serial debug port. To avoid overheat issues the NanoPC-T3 Plus has a heat sink with mounting holes.
• The NanoPC-T3 Plus has two camera interfaces: a DVP camera interface and a MIPI-CSI interface, and four video interfaces: HDMI 1.4A, LVDS, parallel RGB-LCD interface and MIPI-DSI interface. It supports RTC and has RTC interface pins. It has four USB ports with three being type A ports and one being 2.54mm pitch pin-headers.
• The NanoPC-T3 Plus supports muitple OS systems e.g. Android5.1, Debian and UbuntoCore+Qt. It is an open source project with rich interfaces and ports. It is born a choice for professional and enterprise users.

For more details refer to the document: NanoPC-T3 Plus Drawing(dxf).zip

• Power Jack

• DC 4.7~5.6V IN, 4.0*1.7mm Power Jack

4 Get Started

4.1 Essentials You Need

Before starting to use your NanoPi-T3-Plus get the following items ready

• NanoPi-T3-Plus
• SD Card: Class 10 or Above, minimum 8GB SDHC
• A DC 5V/2A power is a must
• HDMI monitor or LCD
• USB keyboard, mouse and possible a USB hub(or a TTL to serial board)
• A host computer running Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit system

4.2 快速从SD卡启动

首先访问此处的下载地址下载需要的固件文件：

• 您需要准备一张8G或以上容量的SDHC卡，该卡的已有数据将会被破坏，因此请先对SD卡上的数据进行备份。
  

• 将固件和烧写工具分别解压，在Windows下插入SD卡（限4G及以上的卡)，以管理员身份运行 win32diskimager 工具， 在win32diskimager工具的界面上, 选择你的SD卡盘符，选择你要烧写的系统固件，点击 Write 按钮烧写即可。
• 当制作完成 SD 卡后，拔出 SD 卡插入 BOOT 卡槽，按住靠网口位置的boot按键 (只有带eMMC的板子需要) 上电启动（注意，这里需要 5V/2A 的供电），你可以看到板上PWR灯常亮,LED1心跳闪烁，LED2不亮，这时你已经成功启动。
  

4.3 Flash image to eMMC with eflasher

• Download eflasher image file
  

An image file's name is as : s5p6818-eflasher-OSNAME-YYYYMMDD.img.zip
The "OSNAME" is the name of an OS e.g. android, friendlycore and etc;
This image file is used for making an installation SD card and it contains a Ubuntu core system and a utility EFlasher;
Download s5p6818-eflasher-OSNAME-YYYYMMDD.img.zip to a host PC and get a windows utility win32diskimager.rar as well;

• Make Installation SD Card with eflasher
  

Extract the package with a 7z utility and you will get a file with an extension ".img". Insert an SDHC card(minimum 8G or above) to a PC running Windows, run the Win32DiskImager utility as administrator, click on "Image File" to select your wanted file, select your SD card and click on "Write" to start flashing the Image to your SD card;
If your PC runs Linux you can command "dd" to extract the package and get an ".img" file and write it to your SD card;

• Operate in GUI Window: Flash OS to eMMC

Insert your SD card to NanoPC-T3-Plus, connect an HDMI monitor or LCD to your board, press and hold the "boot" key beside the Ethernet port, power on the board you will see a pop-up window asking you to select an OS for installation. Select your wanted OS and start installation.

• Operate in Commandline Utility: Flash OS to eMMC

Insert an installation SD card to NanoPC-T3-Plus, log into or SSH to your board and run the following command to start EFlasher:

sudo eflasher

4.3.1 Make Installation Card under Linux Desktop

• 1) Insert your SD card into a host computer running Ubuntu and check your SD card's device name

dmesg | tail

Search the messages output by "dmesg" for similar words like "sdc: sdc1 sdc2". If you can find them it means your SD card has been recognized as "/dev/sdc". Or you can check that by commanding "cat /proc/partitions"

• 2) Downlaod Linux script

• 3) Here is how to make a Lubuntu desktop SD card

sudo ./fusing.sh /dev/sdx lubuntu

(Note: you need to replace "/dev/sdx" with the device name in your system)
When you run the script for the first time it will prompt you to download an image you have to hit “Y” within 10 seconds otherwise you will miss the download

• 4) Run this command to make a complete image file:

sudo ./mkimage.sh lubuntu
