Hello,
FriendlyCore is a derivation of Ubuntu Core use by the manufacturer of the NanoPi, so unfortunately no armbianmonitor on it. But as a arm linux system it's very close to armbian which has the biggest community so. While continuing my research, I was hopping to get enough information from to community to complete my searchs and then work from there.
My aim is to get more information about the kernel process, when and how it take control of the GPIO, and how to modify the default behaviours.
