You need to recompile Device Tree Blob (DTB to DTS) and enable the second UART in a board configuration. Its not related to kernel recompilation or changes to boot scripts. If you want to make use of the first UART you will need to patch and recompile u-boot. Possible more complex. In your device tree /boot/dtb/im6-hummingboard.dts ... (convert to the source, edit and convert back) search for: https://github.com/linux4kix/linux-linaro-stable-mx6/blob/linux-linaro-lsk-v3.14-mx6/arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6qdl.dtsi#L256-L265 and change status to: status = "okay"; Reboot.

Hans is a trusted person/source so try to work out there. I'll check when possible.

Monitor mode is considered as extended function and usually, on those low-cost chip/driver, found on those boards, does not work out of the box. Perhaps some patching is needed but this is out of our mission zone - when wireless works (decently) as a station and AP mode, our job is done. In some cases, even getting here requires an insane amount of time. We are Linux for development boards, not a WiFi for Linux development boards project ... but this field is quite well supported in Armbian. We tend to include as much 3rd party USB/mPCI WiFi drivers+firmware out of the box. If you want to use monitor mode, get 8811/8812/8814 based USB adaptor. Monitor mode works out of the box on all modern kernel 4.x+

Yes, it makes sense.

Yesterday update was focused on stable builds only. Go to armbian-config -> system -> hardware configuration and enable USB ports on your own. Simple as that. If it doesn't work we need to look closely ...

You need to run a script with additional parameter EXPERT="yes" since it was added as .csc (community supported configuration).

We already have an option to sort however we like and I don't think that is a problem. We only lack a search function for a random user which doesn't find a board. Mission tag is a bug - I fixed but ... we have mSATA and SATA. Shell we rather merge this for practical reasons? Adding yet another confusion while we have to cut them down. Who - except us - are familiar to board makers? There are too many of them. Reducing this makes this page more usable. But which one to ditch and merge? Now we came to database design

Huh. I tried with the reported image and it worked for me out of the box.

Cosmetic issue. All images are labeled user-build since I have build parameter in a file and that file (lib.config) is read within configuration.sh later than this: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/lib/main.sh#L69 Moving(or copying) read configuration up?

Tested and works out of the box, check your router settings, cables, ... First boot: http://sprunge.us/jOIZ After apt update and upgrade: http://sprunge.us/WNYI After switching to next 4.13.16 kernel (armbian-config -> system -> alternative kernels -> next): http://sprunge.us/Igfc I would start reading here: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/ https://forum.armbian.com/forum/31-sd-card-and-power-supply/

OK. Let's leave this option on the table.

Back on topic We are talking about redesign, not about changing technology. I don't see much point in that and I also want to keep the task manageable. With "unified on all pages" I mean something far more simple. Top menu and items in it should always be in the exact same spot. This is HTML/CSS design problem. On www.armbian.com, forum.armbian.com, dl.armbian.com and docs.armbian.com. If you look at http://www.mkdocs.org/ entry page. It should be made exactly this way, only with our top menu and CSS(colors and fonts). Markdown is parsed with this raw php library which is probably used in some fancier CMS products. It works fine and things which do their job fine, I don't have the intention to break apart. I use some other library in the past and had lots of troubles. Good idea. It's definitely better this way from UX perspective. Currently, we use Contentview PRO for showing results - check what is possible to do without extra coding, the search is possible to add. I already implement it for testing.

Upcoming week I am having an initial meeting with WEB/UX redesigners, which should focus on overall navigation, entry, download ... The quick Armbian intro video is also in the making process by somebody else - to replace those 4 images on the entry page. I know we already talked about those problems, some issues were resolved, some not. Since ideas are scattered around many topics I am opening a new one. Roughly: Navigation: unified on all pages. Entry page: rework + intro video Download selection: search on devices must be somehow implemented Download board page: rethink and rework Documentation under common theme Put your ideas under numbers. 1. I think that ... 2. ...

And this does not happen in Ubuntu image?

Added. From my perspective, we can ditch temper.

Done and I put a link to "Known issue" to this thread.

yes. perhaps sun4i too?

Video playing will break on sunxi legacy unless adding cma=96M to kernel boot parameter.

Possible. They were made 22.11.

Cubietruck 5.31 on NAND, apt-upgrade, apt install armbian-config ... works http://sprunge.us/cYVJ cma=96M and also video works.

You need different/updated u-boot.

Actually, with recent drivers, anything that hears on 8811/8812/8814 performs really nice also in AP mode. AC speed.

We have kernel 3.4.113 and for that one you need to adjust patch - place it to userpatches/kernel/sun4i-default and you will need to get used to with build tools - how to read debug output, etc. https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ Leave everything else as is. Then it might work.

OK, running ...

I am running out of specifics - basic tests are done, problems fixed ... I have .debs ready up to latest sources and can rebuild repository. Images can be made during the night. I think current stable images have more (tiny) bugs than those waiting in the line .... since we have mainline H3/H5/A64 out of this picture. And it's also perfect timing 4.13.y is EOL ... and we push an update when 4.14.y comes into the decent state.
