I think most important is that people make sure they can fix their own issues if a HW/computer fails. I found high-availability interesting, but for just my house (or even 2 places/countries at the same time) I found it too much to make it all work. The thing I could maybe use is DRDB, however I see v9 is under development since 2011 and it still is not in mainline kernel. Compared to that I have some script to transfer latest differential Btrfs snapshot from 1 computer to the other on-the-fly, I doubt I can really benefit from DRDB, but maybe I set up a test and see what it does. I use only ARM64 for 24/7 servers, so no x86_64 <=> ARM64 incompatibility. So same as for ZFS for example, it is external to Linux distro and my experience is that complicated issues/failures always happen at the wrong moment, e.g. also no internet and/or mains power failure etc. So I try to minimize the amount of 'external' HW/SW modules, certainly if the backing company is commercial and in whatever country far away from where I am. Proxmox is nice, but also 'external'. Same for even Docker, so I have actually no such containers. But it all depends on how much you are involved in various HW and SW. As you can see in my earlier message, I already forgot HA was available as generic aarch64 image, so that says enough. I use several custom (own) HW (like 'changed' solar inverter) and HomeAssistent does not support it, so I actually do not really use it. It is mostly C-code and Node-RED in conjunction with various micro-controllers. A good test is to disconnect internet (power-off fiber-RJ45 box in my case) and/or also do an ad-hoc power cut (no cheating with UPS). And then see if you can get it all running again within a certain time frame (what you think is acceptable, like before temperature in freezer gets > -10 or so).

@humanus You are a very nice guy!

Hi team, I am on the latest vendor release of gnome installed via armbian installer. Kernel is linux-image-6.1.115-*-rk2410. When I look for audio drivers I do not see card 3: rockchiphdmiin [rockchip,hdmiin], device 0: fddf8000.i2s-dummy_codec hdmiin-dc-0 [fddf8000.i2s-dummy_codec hdmiin-dc-0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 I got the board very recently and the forum is a little mesay about the hdmi rx functionality. It would be a great help if anyone can help me out on this, let me know if i am missing anything.

The eMMC is still not detected. Kernel log: [ 4.621568] mmc2: error -110 whilst initialising MMC card [ 4.627066] mmc2: Failed to initialize a non-removable card Working devices: [ 4.502846] mmc0: new high speed SDXC card at address aaaa [ 4.508907] mmcblk0: mmc0:aaaa SC64G 59.5 GiB [ 4.551951] mmc1: new high speed SDIO card at address 0001 The system boots correctly from the SD card, but the onboard eMMC (mmc2) is not initialized. There are also still Ethernet issues. After connecting through PuTTY, the system sometimes hangs when running dmesg, and the network connection becomes unstable or unresponsive. System information: Thanks

Hi @Tavares R You should definetly check the "Media framework installer v0.1" by Jock, on this link -> https://forum.armbian.com/topic/34923-csc-armbian-for-rk322x-tv-box-boards/page/10/#comment-102655 Also, this other link contains a repo to install some patched libs to at least use decoded video -> https://forum.armbian.com/topic/32449-repository-for-v4l2request-hardware-video-decoding-rockchip-allwinner/ Hope it helps, but reality check is the rk3229 is just too weak to properly handle a full DE running a modern browser... Something also worth trying is to enable the "cpu-hs" overlay. it will "overclock" the rk3229 from 1200Mhz to 1400Mhz, giving some extra performance, but keep low expectations... PS: Are you brazillian by any means? Tavares is a very common last name in Brazil.

@Morales Morales when I have more free time.. busy with work the next couple of months.

@Droll, something worth to check out is the SMB version your server is running... They have slightly different authentication, so the mount command differs a bit: SMBV1: sudo mount -t cifs -o vers=1.0,username=your_username,password=your_password //server_ip/share_name /mnt/myshare SMBV2: sudo mount -t cifs -o vers=2.0,username=your_username,password=your_password //server_ip/share_name /mnt/myshare

Suggestions will be very appreciated.

@Arthur Gu Thank you for the effort and congratulations for your success. I will try it in the next days.

yet still giving enough to write a answer. flaming over LPEs (or any vulnerability) does not solve any issues. I suggest to read the license again to get a clue who's responsible about fixing things in general: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/5e60c0183d035bfd5179373e1eac284790e08904/LICENSE#L265-L268 Both parties also shall read the terms of use again, the very first bullet point in particular. I will not give this hint a second time. fixes will land upstream, stable builds will adapt four times a year. For everyone wants things faster, options were provided.

https://github.com/hillac/jetson-nano-armbian-build/blob/main/jetson-armbian-26.md I got a 26 trixie image with the 6.18.29 kernel booting headless. No hdmi. Boot logs over uart were showing 'tegra-pmc 7000e400.pmc: failed to get resets for venc: -517' so I just removed the problem reset from venc in the dtb. This reset was in the dtb for the working 23.8.1 image, so it's not the root cause, but at least it boots properly.

You shouldn't be getting into android recovery. How did you burn the image to the SD card? On what platform? The fact that I'm seeing things like "System Volume Information" and "box-config" which aren't directories that should exist on an Armbian image, it looks like something strange has happened to your SD card image.

@Joao Cordeiro Thanks for your reply. You are right, Amlogic S905X3 seems to be a good hardware without much issue for running Linux servers.

Glad that you got it fixed and figured out a way to set this up. 🙌. I went with similar method, used USB Male to Male cable, Factory Flash Tool and maskrom pins to load the image that I have mentioned in above post, However I am still stuck with no HDMI and LED Display is not showing the clock, but a script which shows the IP address. This was part of the image created by the one who complied it. If you could share steps to get the one that is working (HDMI, Clock, Etc.,) for you would be helpful.

You have the lspci verbose output so you can work back to get the non-verbose output as well. Should I have anything connected to the PCI lane or not? I know my USB devices work, at least with the internal controller, the question was about what exactly is the output/situation you need me to test.

I see it is this board, quite new: http://www.orangepi.org/html/hardWare/computerAndMicrocontrollers/details/Orange-Pi-4A.html You can see at https://github.com/armbian/build/commits/main/config/boards/orangepi-4a.csc that no manintainer is defined, so up to yourself to figure out what is wrong. You need to start with attaching a serial debug cable (see 3 pins next to power key) Also I see this board has SPI-flash, there might be an old U-Boot variant in there that does not work together with mainline based 7.0.x kernel.

To my knowledge, there are two versions of this device: the "old" version and the new version, which has a 6031 Wi-Fi chip. Here are the two DTS files extracted from the original android tv firrmware for each hardware version. Hope it helps. Tanix_TX1_6031_DTS.txt Tanix_TX1_DTS.txt

Hi guys 1: First, I'm happy to register on your forum. 2: I needed to root my TECLAST T60 IA tablet to test it with some software, and I found this post on your forum. 3: My problem is: #: I followed the rooting steps up to step 5. #: Thinking it was better to install the new firmware first and then proceed with rooting. #: My big mistake was starting the firmware update with PhoenixSuit and the bootloader unlocked. After a while, I got a firmware error, and after restarting, I got this message. 4: I tried to enter fastboot mode by pressing the power button, volume down button, and volume up button, but I can't get into fastboot mode. I hope you can help me figure out how to enter fastboot mode, install the firmware, and then try to root the device.

Hi everyone. I have this RK3318 chip box running Ubuntu, but I can't enable SSH to reinstall it. It doesn't have a display output port. Is there any way to reinstall the OS without desoldering the eMMC to reflash it? (I don't know how to put it back if I take it off). I've already tried flashing via USB and the RX/TX/GND lines, but neither worked. Model: AROP-01 CPU: Quad-core ARM processor Memory: 2GB System Storage: 64GB eMMC Network Interface: 1 × Ethernet USB Interface: 1 × USB Type-C Power: 5V/2A Dimensions: 103 × 103 × 20 mm Package Contents: 1 × Manual, 1 × Ethernet Cable, 1 × Power Cable Thank you.

Great question — I’d really like to know too! Have you tried a lightweight Android image like LineageOS-microG inside Waydroid, or tweaked the GPU rendering settings?

Hi, I am assuming that you have a standard Q1 TV Box (Allwinner H313 based). 1) Download Armbian Imager here; 2) Install the version for your operating system; 3) After installing, choose "Manufacturer=ALLWINNER", Board="X96Q TV BOX", Operating system="minimal Trixie current" and Storage ( I suggest a good quality Class 10 SD card); 4) After writing the image, insert the SD card into the available SD slot; 5) Insert a wooden toothpick or a Q-tip into AV/Reset input; 6) Click (kindly) and hold the toothpick and connect the TV Box power supply to the power entry; 7) Release the toothpick after 8-10 seconds. if the HDMI connector is plugged you should see the Armbian initial boot process Note: some TV Boxes don't need items 5, 6 and 7. I hope it helps.
