Manual build

  • For building u-boot, use the "MANUFACTURER_DEVICE" target.
  • The .fex file can be found in sunxi-boards as MANUFACTURER_DEVICE.fex

Everything else is the same as the manual build howto.

Mainline U-Boot

For building mainline u-boot, use the Mele_M3_defconfig target.

Mainline kernel

Use the sun7i-a20-m3.dtb device-tree file for the mainline kernel.

Tips, Tricks, Caveats

FEL mode

The Mele A1000 can be put into FEL mode by shorting jumper 11K1. This has not been verified to work on the M3.

Adding a serial port (voids warranty)

Mele M3 UART pads

Device disassembly

When you remove 2 screws at top corners of the back side, you can simply take off the plastic cover.

Locating the UART

The Mele M3 has a 4 pin 2.0 pitch JST-PH connector available for its UART0 port (same as Mele A1000). This is the same as some 90s analog audio cables which ran from a CDROM to the sound card. More information is available at our UART howto.
