Hi All, Yep, it's my report on the worst named arm computer, that runs good :)
Anyway I have two reports. ** 1st report ** From all my tests, the PCDuino3 Nano Light "just works". I installed the F23 XFCE image, followed the uboot instructions with just one change, I used the PCDuino3 Nano uboot, cuz Lite is supposed to be the exact same. The graphical first-boot came up, I set it up, and XFCE came up. Not a bit of extra twiddling on my part.
I am currently updating the system to see if it will automatically boot into the newer kernel. Since the regular PCDuino3 Nano automatically boots into the newer kernel, I am 99% confident this will too. But I don't like to say it will without testing it.
echo "deltarpm=False" >> /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
Use that to speed up your update by at least 20 minutes.
** 2nd report ** PCDuino3 Nano Light is currently $15 on amazon.

CPU: AllWinner A20 SoC, 1GHz ARM Cortex A7 Dual Core DRAM: 1GB Full size HDMI port 1000 Mb/sec ethernet (take with a grain of salt, but it is faster than 100 Mb/sec) SATA port (no cables) SD card slot. Says it only handles 32Gig, I run mine with 64Gig sd cards No on board flash - The big difference between Nano and Nano lite.
Sorry that I sound like an ad. It's just that it's a decent arm computer that runs straight F23, for only 15 dollars.

The lite has no nand and no ir receiver. Otherwise they are the same. I got one also, but so far no luck booting it with rawhide.

Troy,
I received my PCDuino3 Nano Lite this week and am now trying to figure it out.
First, how to power it? One of the OTG ports on the bottom is outlined in red. Is that the 'power plug'? And they had to use the more expensive smartphone sized OTG, rather than the more common mini-USB like the Cubies use. But how to power is the first question.
Second is where is ttyS0? Is it the 3 pins sticking off the side, and if so which is which (TX, RX, GRD)?
Does it need a heatsink like other A20 SOCs supply?
By the time I add the heatsink, power cord, and sata adapter, how much cheaper is it than my Cubieboard2s that come with all of that? ;)
thanks for the pointer to Amazon for this board. I hope.... !

I suggest you go to their forums and wiki/docs for all of the above answers as I'm sure they're all very well documented there. Coming to the Fedora ARM distro list is just being a bit lazy when I'm sure with a quick google you could find all of the above out quickly for yourself.

I erred in that I did not want to blast the list, but only send it to Troy. Was working too late last night. Though not a good excuse.
I spent at least an hour there going through their little documentation on that board. Did not find anything.
Asked on their forum. Still no answer. And very little traffic on their forum.
This morning, I tried again. This time I looked for just the psDuino3 nano, and there was a diagram of all the hardware connectors. I am going with that.
Probably in an hour after I did my test I was going to report here where to get the diagram for the board, as it is not clear from their documentation. At least it was not for me.
Here is what I finally found:

Fedora 23 booted up just fine on my pcDuino3 Nano Lite with one caveat.
I am not getting any response on the debug port. I followed the schematic to connect a USB/TTL adapter and am running screen as I do with my Cubieboards. Nothing.
Is there anyway I can figure this out from my login on the monitor/keybd? I am assuming it is /dev/ttyS0 as it is for F23 on my Cubieboards. Can I probe that somehow?
And anyone that has a nano, perhaps get with me privately to point out what I might have connected wrong.
thanks.

I haven't put a heat sink on any of mine and had them all compiling packages for weeks at a time with no heat issues. They aren't in a "well ventilated" area (has air blowing over them), they are in an open area (nothing covering them).
By the time I add the heatsink, power cord, and sata adapter, how much cheaper is it than my Cubieboard2s that come with all of that? ;)
Yep, that is a consideration. For me, I have a ton of micro-usb chords sitting around, so no cost there, I don't use heatsinks, no cost there, and I originally started using them because they have Gigabit network, not for the sata, so I never bought any of those chords. So for me, a $15 machine was a $15 machine ... though I paid full price for my original ones.
thanks for the pointer to Amazon for this board. I hope.... !
From the sounds of things (not just this email, but other correspondence) it's not working the best for your situation. I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you are able to find the board(s) that fit your needs.

I am treating this board as a Fedora/arduino board, and dropping any work on Centos7-arm on it. It runs Fedora23 well enough, and for that I really do not need a console port. So now I am trying to get the arduino ide from Fedora supporting the board, so I can do some arduino control stuff with it. Thus my post just a while ago.
But I will play around with the image you pointed out to me.
thanks
The debug port is now working and I can log into serial console.
Seems my problem was with one of my wires not making contact. Go figure...
Also why once I have the console working, I keep the adapter connected.
