the board itself is ~$60 US the L-band antenna is ~$24 US. Its a bit of a specialty board, but has lots of enthusiasts.. They are a bit tight with technical info, i'm not sure if its worker bandwidth or intentional, schematics certainly are not public. I would think a physical sample would be a requirement for official support..

yea we are recommending those (apt-mark hold) be added manually after the initial image is booted the first time. Its not really a solution though...

yea thats the company that makes the boards, many people blindly did apt upgrade and got burned... just trying to track down a solution.

Ok, No problem, that explains alot.. This is on their website "Fully mainline (4.10) kernel and Uboot (2017.01) support!" did it *ever* have mainline support? I find nothing on armbian.com about it..

Hey all, The DreamCatcher Board had an armbian image (Linux dreamcatcher 4.10.14-sunxi #21 SMP Sun May 7 22:37:19 UTC 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux) that worked fine, doing a apt upgrade completes, but prevents the system from booting... any insight to resolution is appreciated.. Currently were putting holds on the following for updates... linux-dtb-next-sunxi linux-headers-next-sunxi linux-image-next-sunxi linux-firmware-image-next-sunxi error...
