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.... !

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.
