Just power ON/OFF switch then the circuit ready to work but I am worry that when power off the switch I will get incorrect data logger.
Our system is prepared for general usage and if you want to achieve this you'll need to alter few things. First is mount option commit=600 for root fs (/etc/fstab). Remove or set to 0. And the most extreme / safe thing is setting file system read-only. In this case you should not loose anything. -

Thanks, unfortunately I am not capable of image DIY
, so I have to use the ugly Debian image from official website.
OMG. Why don't you just use our Xenial? Bad software = bad / wrong experience.22 hours ago, ImmortanJoe said:Something broke in USB in the last couple of days. I just updated to the nightly kernel etc. and the hub no longer worked.
Possible, but this looks like you are having not sufficient power supply. Are powering via USB perhaps? -
Added to nightly builds from tomorrow.
login and type

Also I have ported raspi-config to OPi-config, working currently to fully test and add some more usable bits. I dont know how to contribute it (yes I am a HW guy learning SW).

Welcome to join the party

Some things will go out and some are not working.

Mainline support for XU4 is not perfect / still fixing things at the moment ... please try daily kernel builds to see if this is fixed by now. We use Hardkernel branch, more or less unchanged.
Check this thread at hard kernel forum for more wisdom.

Step 1 would be to get the newest version of uboot to compile and test it successfull.
Basic mainline U-boot support exits for months, but it lacks of some very important feature - smp. You can boot the board (I did my Banana M3 which is very similar) but only one core is running. There are some patches for this but am not sure if they work or if they were merged anywhere. If / when this will be fixed, you could run those two boards for basic services ... except SATA related since its crappy by design / hw.

It must be related to permissions. It's working under root.

how about debian image, on the way?
We only provide testing images at the moment ... those are as is. If you want Debian -> DIY -> https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib -
- our nand-sata-install utility can switch your OS to mSATA or whatever but boot remains on SD card.
- boot directly from mSATA ssd is theoretical / advanced function. We don't support it.

Those are hardware limitations. To determine what should be max. speed, search here and around. I don't recall doing any tests. -

Didn't thought people will actually watch it, so when I'm back of my vacations I'll make another videos about the board (got a tripod and I'll try to make something without talking understandable by anyone)
I do search and watch them deliberately. They are valuable source of feedback, they provide different perspective, gives 3rd party opportunity to learn something .... and make me feel good.

First Rockchip RK3399 based board from Orangepi maker - under development, not much news except what can be scrapped from pictures. Chip: http://rockchip.wikidot.com/rk3399

Bump.
https://github.com/igorpecovnik/Debian-micro-home-server
Script reworked - need some testing.
Known bugs: ISPconfig fails to install on Ubuntu Xenial.

Some problems with server. Working on.

Just noticed: no image from armbian, any schedule to release image?
https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-pc2/ -> Nightly releases. Working pretty decent, check this video:

Forums email notifications are temporally limited until we get a proper email sending service. We need some help to solve this.

I actually tested on Opi PC+ with 4.10.x but it was crashing all the time. I didn't investigate why, while on XU4 it was working. Linux i386 applications were working good while apps under Wine also, but they had some strange refresh. Usable, but still need some work.
I started to talk with Eltech folks to see if something can be done to ensure better support on Allwinner boards. -

Igor, maybe the solution: do you know which uboot version Pubuntu uses? This could solve my problems!
It uses Allwinner stock u-boot and I am not sure you can just switch to it and boot. This means you are fixing one problem but might open a new set of problems. We never even try to use this u-boot and jumped directly to mainline. Your problem is usually also somebody else problem and eventually somebody fix this. Hopefully. We know that some boards have such troubles and there are no quick fixes. Most Orange 2+e works O.K. so it's hard to find a fix. -

It seems I never receive any notifications for updates on this forum thread.
SMTP daily sending limit exceeded once this week. Need to upgrade to some reliable service.. -

will it automatically do 2GB on boot or is it specifically limited?
Yes. Don't worry ... regarding schematics. We don't collect them here, but it's collected at linux-sunxi. All board related information can be found 1st at board download page. There you have a link "Hardware details". Follow that, you get to sunxi page with all hardware details and possible schematics. There is no schematics for this board, at least not on usual place, but you can check this one: https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-plus-2e/ since exists and it's familiar. Only diff is USB2SATA bridge and larger eMMC AFAIK.We ditched the idea to have some general config for boards since hardware diversity, which we deal with, is huge, we have more kernels and maintaining this would be nightmare. SPI and I2C drivers are present and ready to use. Old and new kernel has different approach - do some forum search.
Regarding your code ideas and contributions, check this.

I stopped using ubuntu (not even mint) on my laptops/desktops some years ago, just use Debian
Development boards are another world. We don't have unified ARM kernel here, which would cover all boards ... in most cases there is one (old) kernel per board, per board family. Same goes with u-boot. Chip manufacturer prepare some basic and immature kernel / SDK. Those sources are usually junk and combined with blobs, when they are released, usually by board makers. Board makers and various ROM bakers usually takes this first uncleaned and unfixed / toxic code and produce (glue binaries together) every possible Linux derivative, which is full of bugs and never receive any kernel update. This practise is widely spread. Than community (might) hacks blobs, fix code, ... and some boards even gets to mainline Linux. But this take a lot of time an efforts.
Currently I would recommend you to use Ubuntu Xenial, because it has newer package base than Debian Jessie. It works better. Our desktop is junk free, so don't worry about and forget what you know about Ubuntu from X86. -
If you don't need headers, you can kill that process that upgrade can continue and repeat headers compilation manually later. -

I Installed Kodi with the right command in the terminal window, but when I try to open Kodi in The Armbian desktop it crash all the time.
How do I manage to fix it?
- those images are preview without official support,- none of core team members has this board yet,
- video acceleration features comes at the end and if we find time to fix them,
- KODI is not trivial to install on any platform and general operating system.
How to fix this particular problem? Don't know. At this moment.

If your system works fine - which means you have last version and no errors on file system or similar crazy problems ... than this looks more like a general pi-hole-install issue for Pi hole support line if exists, unrelated to this particular hardware and probably also unrelated to the system. (Debian, Ubuntu, Raspbian, ... )
I only installed this Pi-hole once, some time ago and since it worked out of the box I didn't learn anything about it
I used to run some very complex scenarios within Armbian Debian version, so I doubt there is any related problem with Armbian.

For me, auto detection (mostly) works fine - it works out of the box. If and when it doesn't work, follow this thread.
VPN Server Questions

Yes. You open a port on your router and forward it to the local IP address of your VPN server. A20 is a bit slow for this job, so rather get some cheapest / smallest H3 board. If you are not an expert, check Softether VPN server, also accessible from our simple install tool.
