The linux kernel Branch for NanoPi is nanopi-v4.1.y, you should switch the branch to nanopi-v4.1.y, then build it, you will get the kernel programming file arch/arm/boot/zImage.

Hello, I have been trying for a few weeks to get this LCD dsiplay (Store Wiki) to work with the NanoPi Neo Air.  The display driver required is apparently the ST7789V.

This thread mentioned the display I am using and talked about building a custom kernel. I got the build env up ran a kernel build but I was not able to find any drivers relating to the ST7789V.

Only GND and 5V on the 12-Pin land are connected and the rest pins are open. For more details on the 12-Pin connector refer to NanoPi NEO/Air/NEO2"s wiki site.

A wide variety of i2c oled options are available to you, such as original manufacturer, odm and agency.You can also choose from pmoled, amoled and tft i2c oled,

So – nice looking – I’m not sure why they chose hardwired Ethernet over WIFI – I’d have gone the other way and kept the height down – but there you are. The existing case for the NEO does not fit the new model incidentally.

One thing that worried me – and I’ve complained about this before – the requirements are: A NEO2 (obviously), a micro TFT card, a power supply and “a computer running Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit” – FRIENDLYARM – YOU MUST BE JOKING! Most of us in the west have Microsoft Windows PCs. I do have one PC running Linux – it is running MINT and I’ve no intention of changing that just for one new board!!!

So, despite desire for Debian, I downloaded the Ubuntu Core software from the FriendlyArm WIKI site. I blew the image file with Win32 Disk Imager as usual and plugged it into the NEO 2 board. From what I could read, this would expand on first use and might take some time.

I’ve now heard back from FriendlyArm on the subject of GPIO and the issues I had – they have fixed the most trivial – the temperature display – here is the link – https://www.sendspace.com/file/eqh907

NanoPI NEO is a single-board system from FriendlyARM with a RAM memory of 256 MB. It is equipped with the Allwinner H3 system offering 4 Coretex-A7 cores. Each core can operate at a frequency of 1.2 GHz. In addition, the board has a Mali-400MP2 graphics processor clocked at 600 MHz. The board is equipped with, among others, an RJ45 port, 2 USB ports (1 USB 2.0 port and 1 micro-USB 2.0 connector), a micro SD memory card slot and interface ports such as: USB (2 additional USB 2.0 ports), UART ( 2 ports RS232), I2C, SPI, PWM, GPIO and audio (microphone input and line audio output). The system is powered by 5V, power consumption according to the manufacturer does not exceed 2A. The system"s operation is responsible for the Ubuntu Core distribution, specially prepared by the manufacturer, based on the Linux kernel version 3.4. The system is not factory installed.

I may have found something that makes it a little closer to that true plug n’play goal – the 3.5″ TFT screen from NeoSec Solutions. They offer a similar product to the PiTFT however overall I’ve found it a lot easier to set up.

It’s hard to look at any small touch screen for the Pi without comparing it to the ever popular PiTFT – so rather than pretend to not be comparing it – this review will face the boards off against each other and see what’s the best screen in each category. I don’t normally do this, but it just makes sense in this scenario.

The NeoSec 3.5″ TFT is a small touchscreen LCD display that pushes on to your Raspberry Pi (Model A/B) via the GPIO pins. The screen makes use of nearly all available space above the Pi, allowing a decent 480×320 resolution. It comes packaged in a small clip-top box with everything inside.

A buzzer is mounted to the rear of the screen which makes a sound every time you touch. I found this quite annoying, however NeoSec have told me that on the latest model this is optional, in case you don’t want the ‘beeps’:

The image file is the big winner here for me. I put the image on to a blank SD card (8Gb as it didn’t fit my 4Gb), turned on the Pi, and it was ready to go. No messing around, no code – just a working screen out of the box. Compare that to the hassle of some other TFT screens for the Pi and you’ll see why I’m so impressed with this.

Whilst I dont normally compare products when writing a review, theres an obvious competitor that you cant help but compare to when you see other small Raspberry Pi screens…so this review will focus on the pros/cons of the NeoSec 3.5″ TFT compared to the 2.8″ PiTFT from Adafruit.

This NeoSec screen package comes in at $41 – that’s the screen, touchpad, pen and DVD. This is also pre-assembled. A basic package with just the screen is $25.

Verdict: NeoSec wins this one. Considering the extras you get with it, I personally think it’s a better deal for a ‘screen on Pi’ solution. (and the basic $25 package is clearly much cheaper)

The PiTFT requires assembly, including GPIO and button soldering, and taping the screen to the PCB. That tape isn’t very sticky at all so you’ll probably need to get your own – I used No Nails tape.

Verdict: I think self-assembly can be a good learning experience, but considering how many people I’ve heard complaining of the difficulty of assembling the PiTFT, NeoSec wins this one.

The NeoSec weighs in at a more comfortable 3.5″ and a clearer 480×320 resolution. The 3.5″ screen covers more of the Pi, which I think looks much smarter. That extra screen space does come at a price, which is the slightly more delicate feel it has, and no mounting holes for support screws like the PiTFT:

The font on the NeoSec screen seems smaller yet clearer, allowing more on screen, but there may be a way to match this on the PiTFT that I haven’t discovered yet:

Verdict: You can’t argue with the bigger screen of the NeoSec, and it does seem to have much better colour and clarity. It seems an easy decision when considering these two as being in the same product market – however the PiTFT certainly feels more sturdy with that PCB surround. I’m going for the NeoSec here – but it is tight.

The PiTFT has holes around it to use nylon screws as a screen support. It also has PCB area around the screen acting as a bit of protection. The PCB covers the entire underside of the screen, ensuring no light comes out of the back.

The NeoSec screen doesnt have any support holes, and has no PCB area around the screen (but its a bigger screen, which is more important in my eyes). I can’t see the NeoSec doing well on a Model A without that Ethernet port holding it up. The NeoSec’s PCB doesn’t cover the rear of the screen either, so light comes out on to your Pi.

Verdict: The PiTFT wins this one, it feels much more secure, and I’m pretty sure light bleed from the back isn’t meant to happen – even if it does look cool.

The PiTFT has an optional upside-down connector to attach a belt to breakout to a breadboard. I don’t like the whole belt thing, it feels a bit too 90’s computing for me, and the upside down back to front thing makes it hard to do something different like add a regular GPIO header.

The NeoSec is a little more traditional with the GPIO, and simply gives you a mirror of the GPIO next to the screen. This is good if you want a simple prototyping access, but perhaps not as ideal if you just want a screen, as it does stick out. It looks as though it can be removed as drill holes indicate an easy option to cut or snap it off.

Verdict: Tie – it all depends on what you want the screen for. The PiTFT may be better for breakout projects, whilst breaking off the GPIO tab on the NeoSec may be better for those looking for a simple screen solution.

The PiTFT comes ready to fit 4 tactile buttons to, however these need to be purchased and fitted separately. The blue PCB of the Adafruit board is attractive when compared to traditional colours.

Verdict: The NeoSec clearly comes up trumps with more goodies – main winner here is the touchpad. Credit to Adafruit for the refreshing PCB colour though.

The NeoSec on the other hand, was much easier to get going. I simply installed the image provided on the DVD supplied (no long download required) and it worked straight away. You have to tweak a couple of settings if you’re using a Rev1 board, but with a Model A/B it’s real easy. You also don’t seem to need to push things to the display using code – it picks up everything as default from what I’ve tested.

I thought I’d add a final section on support, as I had a few questions while writing this review, and previously had questions on the PiTFT when I first used it.

The PiTFT benefits from the massive following and fan base that Adafruit command. Their forums are full of information, and generally a lot of people buy their products, so most people have had the issue and written about it on blogs and forums.

The NeoSec screen doesn’t have that massive following that AdaFruit does, so finding information already out there can be difficult. Fortunately NeoSec counteract this by providing excellent personal support by email and also regularly on the Raspberry Pi forum.

If I could go back in time and purchase just one of these screens, knowing what I know now after having set up and played with both of these, I would personally go for the NeoSec screen.

Sure the PiTFT has that sexy blue AdaFruit styling we all love, and the screen feels more secure and has an overall better ‘feel’ to it (plus those optional buttons are very cool), but the setup involved many hours of my life that I’m unlikely to get a refund for.

The extra size and resolution gives a much better picture too – the colour and clarity are beautiful. Add to that the extras such as the pen and the touchpad, and for a extra few dollars the NeoSec feels like the better buy.
