4 Get Started
4.1 Essentials You Need
Before starting to use your NanoPi A64 get the following items ready
- NanoPi A64
- microSD Card/TFCard: Class 10 or Above, minimum 8GB SDHC
- microUSB power. A 5V/2A power is a must
- HDMI monitor
- USB keyboard and mouse, and a USB HUB would be better
- A Host computer running Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit system
4.2 TF Cards We Tested
To make your NanoPi A64 boot and run fast we highly recommend you use a Class10 8GB SDHC TF card or a better one. The following cards are what we used in all our test cases presented here:
- SanDisk TF 8G Class10 Micro/SD TF card:
- SanDisk TF128G MicroSDXC TF 128G Class10 48MB/S:
- 川宇 8G C10 High Speed class10 micro SD card:
4.3 Make an Installation TF Card
4.3.1 Get Image File
Get the following files from download link to download image files (under the officail-ROMs directory) and the flashing utility(under the tools directory):
Image Files nanopi-a64-core-qte-sd4g.img.zip a Light Ubuntu-core system with a Qt Embedded GUI library nanopi-a64-ubuntu-mate-sd4g.img.zip Ubuntu with a MATE-desktop Flash Utility: win32diskimager.rar Windows utility. Under Linux users can use "dd" PhoenixCard_V310.rar Windows utility for flashing Android image. Attention: the "dd" command under Linux doesn't work for flashing Android image HDDLLF.4.40.exe Windows utility for formatting a TF card
4.3.2 Make Ubuntu-Core Image Card
- Extract the nanopi-a64-core-qte-sd4g.img.zip and win32diskimager.rar files. Insert a TF card(at least 4G) into a Windows PC and run the win32diskimager utility as administrator. On the utility's main window select your TF card's drive, the wanted image file and click on "write" to start flashing the TF card.
- After this writing process is done insert this card into your NanoPi A64's TF card slot and power on (with a 5V/2A power source). If the green LED is on and the blue LED is blinking this indicates your NanoPi A64 has successfully booted.
