friendlyarm/nanopc-t4: init
As suggested by @Mic92 in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/111034 I'm submitting my fixes for the FriendlyARM NanoPC-T4 device. I'm not sure if forcing a specific kernel version is kosher, but on the other hand I don't know if my kernel config changes will work on any other version. I'm open to suggestions as to how to do this better. Also unusure if I should call the folder `friendlyarm` or `friendlyelec`. Signed-off-by: Jakub Sokołowski <jakub@status.im>

# Description
|
||||
|
||||
This document on how I configure [NixOS](https://nixos.org/) on [NanoPC-T4](https://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPC-T4).
|
||||
|
||||
# Installation
|
||||
|
||||
To install NixOS on you can follow the [official instructions](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/NixOS_on_ARM/NanoPC-T4) and use the [pre-built images](https://github.com/tmountain/arch-nanopct4/tree/main/images/) from @tmountain. You can also build the U-Boot image yourself from `nixpkgs` based on changes added in [#111034](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/111034).
|
||||
|
||||
## NixOS on NVMe with ZFS
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible to migrate the OS from the eMMC storage to the NVMe.
|
||||
|
||||
In my case I migrated `/`, `/nix`, and `/home`, leaving `/boot` on the eMMC.
|
||||
|
||||
Create the ZFS pool and three filesystems on the SSD:
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
zpool create -O xattr=sa -O acltype=posixacl -O mountpoint=none rpool /dev/nvme0n1
|
||||
for VOL in nix root home; do
|
||||
zfs create -o mountpoint=legacy rpool/$VOL
|
||||
mkdir /mnt/$VOL
|
||||
mount.zfs rpool/$VOL /mnt/$VOL
|
||||
done
|
||||
```
|
||||
Then sync the original filesystem on eMMC to the new volumes:
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
rsync -rax /. /mnt/root
|
||||
rsync -rax /nix/. /mnt/nix
|
||||
rsync -rax /home/. /mnt/home
|
||||
rsync -rax /boot/. /
|
||||
```
|
||||
Afterwards create a configuration that looks like this:
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{
|
||||
# TODO: Make sure to update the eMMC device UUID!
|
||||
fileSystems."/boot" = { device = "/dev/disk/by-uuid/1234-5678"; fsType = "ext4"; };
|
||||
fileSystems."/" = { device = "rpool/root"; fsType = "zfs"; };
|
||||
fileSystems."/nix" = { device = "rpool/nix"; fsType = "zfs"; };
|
||||
fileSystems."/home" = { device = "rpool/home"; fsType = "zfs"; };
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
And rebuild he system:
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
sudo nixos-rebuild boot
|
||||
```
|
||||
:warning: __IMPORTANT:__ After that it's necessary to run all the four `rsync` commands again to sync filesystems.
|
||||
|
||||
Once everything is synced you can finally reboot.
|
||||
|
||||
You should also clean up `/boot` afterwards.
|
||||
|
||||
# UART Debug Console
|
||||
|
||||
Device provides a Debug UART 4 Pin 2.54mm header connection, 3V level, 1500000bps.
|
||||
|
||||
To connect to you will need a USB to UART converter/receiver that supports the speed of 1500000bps.
|
||||
|
||||
The serial port parameters are [8-N-1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8-N-1).
|
||||
|
||||
A reader using `CP2102` chip did not work but `FT232RL` works fine:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You can use `minicom` or `picocom` to connect:
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo minicom -b 1500000 -D /dev/ttyUSB0
|
||||
sudo picocom -b 1500000 /dev/ttyUSB0
|
||||
```
|
||||
But you'll need to disable flow control with `Ctrl-A x`.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a good overview of UART USB-to-Serial adapters:

||||

|
||||
* https://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Documents/DataSheets/ICs/DS_FT232R.pdf
|
||||
|
||||
Pin layout where #4 is next to USB-C port:
|
||||
|
||||
| Pin num.| #1 | #2 | #3 | #4 |
|
||||
|---------|-----|----|----|----|
|
||||
| Purpose | GND | V5 | TX | RX |
|
||||
|
||||
Remember that the `TX` and `RX` ports should be swapped between UART adapter and the board.
|
||||
|
||||
The V5 pin does not need to be connected if you're powering the board from another source.
|
||||
|
||||
See the full board diagram for more details:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You can access the recovery console by holding the __Recovery__ button and then pressing the __Power__ button.
|
||||
For this to work the device will have to be off, which requires holding the __Power__ button long enough.
