Nano Pi teardown
A short hardware teardown pass for a Nano Pi device: open the enclosure, remove the SD card, expose the board, and identify the visible chips, ports, debug pins, and power path.
Summary
The transcript turns the stream into a board-level inspection note: how the case opened, what chips were visible, and which service points were worth recording.
The main SoC is identified during inspection, with nearby memory and storage-related footprints checked next.
The board has two Ethernet ports, visible Ethernet chips, USB-C, a reset button, and an SD-card slot.
The teardown finds TX1/RX1 markings, power points, LED indicators, and a power-management chip marking.
Steps
- 01
Start the stream workflow: main computer for notes, phone camera for hand work, and desk view for context.
- 02
Remove the label/case cover, then remove the SD card before forcing the board out.
- 03
Expose the board and identify the Rockchip RK3328 SoC, memory, SD-card slot, USB-C, and reset button.
- 04
Compare the board with reference images to label the debug port, LEDs, Ethernet chips, and unmounted flash footprint.
- 05
Record service points: RK805-style power-management marking, power pads, and TX1/RX1 TTL pins.
Transcript notes
The main chip is identified as Rockchip RK3328.
The board inspection calls out two Ethernet ports and two Ethernet chips.
USB-C and reset are visible; the back side has mostly smaller components.
Reference images help label the debug port, SD-card slot, and three green LEDs.
The power manager is identified, followed by power points and TX1/RX1 TTL markings.
