The DietPi installation for the FriendlyArm NanoPi NEO works a treat. I have it running with all of my usual tool - Node-Red, Mosquitto etc etc… LOVELY. And all on WIFI.
Today I opened the new NanoPi NEO AIR - which has no Ethernet but has WIFI built in. Sadly FriendlyArm only supply Ubuntu - not interested. So I took my SD from the DIETPI NEO and plugged it into the AIR - worked PERFECTLY first time - WHEEEE. Then I noticed - no WIFI - and it will be down to a missing driver for that particular WIFI…
Has anyone come across this yet and do they have a way to install the driver without WIFI (as there is no ETHERNET on this board)??
I’am still waiting for FriendlyARM to send me sample boards for NEO Air (been over 3 weeks with many email follow-ups). Once/If they arrive, I’ll create a DietPi image for it and support it. Until then, give the ARMbian image a try, its Debian: Nanopi Neo Air – Armbian
