    not on actually looking into the issue but resisting to and reasoning against.

     

    Solving bugs can eat a lot more time - you contribute nothing to - and require a lot more energy then casual chatting with forum newbies. We have prepared FAQ for your welcoming. Make friends, then ask for help. There are 1000 people before you asked extremely limited and expensive resources for something ... why your problem is more important ?

    Feature / Changes requests for future Helios64 board or enclosure revisions

    I am creating an archive.org archive, so that if the Mirrors or what so ever will go down


    Software support - the most expensive part of hardware product - is pure Armbian and without Armbian this project would never get this far. Also there is no need to create any mirrors since Armbian keeps archives at many places. :P Also you can rebuild images from sources at any time.

    nanopi neo - problems with u-boot

    in Allwinner H2 & H3

    Posted

    FYI the 2020.10 u-boot is also partially broken


    I know - it was triaged - since this solution covers the most important aspects - you can boot the board and it doesn't freeze. Which is not nearly granted feature and its not secured when u-boot goes up with its version. For more polishing we ran out of time ... and FYI supporting fixing bugs can cost a lot more. Also doesn't align with carefully planned time expenses for R&D.

    tl;dr; With limited time and no budget  it is not possible to fix everything. There are others, more important problems waiting to be addressed.

    BananaPi running image for BananaPi Pro?

    There are Images for an old/original Lemaker "Banana Pi" up to 03/2021

     

    Archive contain older images. Use the one from the download section - images that are aligned with your model regardless of the date diff, read FAQ, get support to give some fraction back ... and wait for:

    some software (iobroker) afterwards, so I'm not sure if this might be caused due wrong images  being used.


    Hard to tell. A question for them.

    nanopi neo - problems with u-boot

    in Allwinner H2 & H3

    First of all, the u-boot versions are different. The prebuilt image has "U-Boot 2021.04-armbian" and the second one - "2020.10"


    It's not a bug but bugfix:

    Is there any fix for this problem?


    Sources are available so I would assume its fixable. Its probably just a configuration or patch issue. Dig in. If you find and fix the problem and when you are sure it doesn't break any other board, send a patch.

    Problems with the RTL8192cu driver

    Recompiling was useless.


    Also for other reason. We keep well known and those a bit less known wireless drivers in best possible shape and bundled with kernels we provide. In theory - users should not need to compile exotic drivers that Linux doesn't support (well enough) on their own, but all dependencies are ready (kernel headers, compilers) - so you can. For things we don't cover, can't bundle (zfs) or for experimenting ...

    root FS on ZFS, feasible?

    as it seams to be really ready.


    For having a rootfs, a bit more work has to be done.

    Fun? :-)

     

    We pushed it very far but here fun stops - its impossible to waste months working only on this and without receiving anything in return. Bills has to be paid ... If you have strength, capacity and will to pick it up and push forward:

    https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/2414

    https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/2410

    This is needed if you want to have zfs rootfs.

    Compiling RTL8189es driver

    Is the source to the 5.10 kernel (with sunxi extras) available ?

     

    armbian-config -> software -> source_install ... and it downloads + unpack + add config which was used ... ready to compile. Only deb packing part is not solved yet. 

     

    Older kernels sources are only in our offline archives. tl;dr; We recently had some repository crash and after big waste of time solving nothing ... I restarted with minimal repository containing only last packages. Which was successfully build.

    odroidhc4 with 5.13.9-meson64, missing ZFS modules

    Cannot figure out what the problem is.


    https://forum.armbian.com/search/?q=Hash Sum mismatch&quick=1

    We need to extend repository index synchronisation timeout from 1 day to several days since mirrors doesn't get in sync in this time frame. The problem is that current main rsync server is slow (only 50Mbps upload in total), but is cheap and has no traffic limits.

     

    We know how to solve this, but we lack time: https://armbian.atlassian.net/browse/AR-789

    please help!

     

    Please don't bump topics without adding value. This is not commercial technical support for your private problems, but community forum and those are its rules and recommendations. Putting a pressure is a very bad strategy when asking for help where precious resources you don't support are wasted - better start here or here or just wait and hope someone that has time and knowledge that can help.
