Nothing. Your headers are installed. Check here what is the diff: https://github.com/armbian/config/blob/development/debian-config-jobs#L148-L150 And. Next time you spam with the same question on my private channel, both questions will be ignored and deleted on the spot.

Exactly. It's good as is. Now, with a new website, things are done better and this should not be a problem. And I don't think we have one. All those signs, flags and rules are in their essence to limit (repeating) questions but its impossible to suppress them. The development progress is slow. Much much slower and way more time is consumed than the average person thinks. Only education can change this perception.

I don't think so. It's already impossible to miss those signs. Sometimes people just ignore them or choose to ignore them. Or make wrong assumptions based on weak/wrong technical knowledge or some belief. This entire project helps to understand. Remember the school days. Even teacher explained everything and wrote things on the table, somebody or more, usually always the same people, needed extra clarification. Just add remarks to the "WWW update wish list" and something can be done. Perhaps Javascript popup on nightly/preview images when clicking the download button.

"committed 8 hours ago" https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/0e7681ee250a2beab744b854062ee558e4bf1e39 Updated package will be at next nightly rebuilt but since I just tear down build server it might take more than 24h before things are back in action.

Yes, it's almost Rock64 ... but what are those small diffs, who wants to be in charge? I can build images (when we merge stable and development branches) and leave it this way: https://www.armbian.com/z28-pro/ as an alternative/for a while.

Everything looks fine. Don't you see this?

Provide armbianmonitor -u and we might get some clues.

This is the case only on 4.14.y kernel ... on 4.9.y (current NEXT) this is not needed. I will update images and add Stretch and Bionic images to the download section.

If somebody pays for R&D expenses, we can hire some help and proceed on this route. So far there was little to no interest and with current extremely limited resources this is virtually impossible. And stupid. Most likely but there is no warranty that this is not the same with Clearfog. I don't have any high power gears around. Only normal consumer grade cards and they work everywhere.

I suspect Espressobin is not be designed for such power draw. Perhaps not even to the mPCI standards? Hardware hack must be possible somehow.

High powered mPCI cards are usually powered externally.

Done. Checking armbian-config ...

Yes, your board will receive full updates. Currently, we are at kernel 4.9.y but this NEXT is about to be upgraded to 4.14.y when its time. You don't need to change anything.

I upload new images, tested today. Except for those few noted issues, board performs nice.

Perhaps here: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Allwinner_overlays/

You need to update u-boot as well.

Problems were detected when upgrading from 4.9 to 4.14 ... kernel 4.9 is just fine for and has UAS support.

Wireless chips on those boards are mostly low performance - all are 1T1R and N at best. It's probably enough for streaming video under optimal conditions. You have to pick 3rd party USB wifi module carefully since kernel 3.4.y is very old and most of the modern ones won't work there. A20 boards are not really the best choice for KODI so I would rather pick something else. A big step forward are already (cheap) H3 boards with dedicated Openelec or some Amlogics on a bit expensive side.

Because 4.14.y has issues - some people ended up in a boot loop - which is not resolved yet.

Do apt update and upgrade. I added a new version of armbian-config to the stable repository ... try once again @y52 might have the same problem.

Armbian doesn't provide a kernel that is long time deprecated. We use the latest and there https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/linux-marvell.git branch linux-4.4.52-armada-17.10 ... there is only one DTB file which works. As is. We recommend using 4.14.y kernel and not (lower quality) factory kernel. Can't replicate on the latest build. I download default 4.4.y, switch to NEXT 4.14.y and back to 4.4.y Working as expected, logs: http://ix.io/1agA This menu can be missing if you froze kernel upgrades, severely change the system or in case of network failure.

Kernel changing is super simple. Go to armbian-config -> system -> "Switch to alternative kernels". Switching between default and next should be safe, but it was not tested yet on all variants and it's good that you didn't make any changes to the boot scripts.

Yes, but you need to develop them first. Bootlin will develop required video codecs for 30.000 euros but it's not done yet. Then some changes to video driver might be needed, then implementation and debug ... few more months in the most optimistic scenario. This WLAN - when it works - is probably too slow for multimedia.

And it is stable. Wifi is another area ... we do our best but and this used to work somehow in the past ... probably its a problem with a wrong firmware since nothing else hasn't been changed. As soon as we get a working video acceleration and 3D on a modern kernel, this kernels is gone. That functionality is the only reason we keep it for download.

You can use modern kernel where wifi is operational.
