The board boots NixOS from eMMC and will also load NixOS via its integrated microSD reader.

The official documentation, which is comprehensive, can be found on the FriendlyElec wiki.

U-Boot for this board is not entirely open, incorporating a binary blob for the tertiary program loader (TPL). Compilation instructions are featured in section 15.7 of the FriendlyElec wiki, and a build target is also provided in upstream u-boot (nanopc-t4-rk3399_defconfig).

Pre-built u-boot images are available here.
