NanoPi NEO2 NAS Hat

[MrLimoAK]

Has anyone had any success with running a current/semi current OS and the NAS/RTC Enclosure/Hat from FriendlyElec.  I was never impressed with the NAS/OpenMediaVault image that shipped with the board/hat.  I have attempted to strip OMV out of the device and move the device forward with some success.  The the Kernel is stuck at v4.14.52.  But I would prefer to load a clean current OS and potentially use the correct overlays to enable the extra USB Ports, USB to SATA Bridge and RTC features.

Question is does anyone have any information/guide to use a current version of Armbian/Community and the correct overlay file(s) to allow the the JMicron USB to SATA interface and Realtime Clock to be enabled.

It is here https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-neo-2/

But I don't know the details of the NAS Hat.  Maybe post an URL.

 

It is AllwinnerH5 I see, so 64-bit and if NAS HAT is basically a JMicron USB-SATA chip, it should work more or less out of the box. For get about that old Friendlyelec image I would say.
