    Not working for me either (cubietruck), got ct-lubuntu-server-nand-v2.0 on the nand and then I was only able to select boot from SD and system on SATA, other options were not displayed.

    Anyone got it working?

     


    NAND install works only on legacy kernel versions.

    But after reading and trying it didn't work. Apparently you seem to think that everything that is written works for everyone which is not the case.

     

    Stable images are tested - we are not wasting your time.

     

    If you have Orange Pi Zero:


    1. Download https://dl.armbian.com/orangepizero/Ubuntu_xenial_default.7z

    2. Burn to SD and boot

    3. Login via serial or SSH and execute: nmtui-connect This connects you to wireless network in no time.

     

    If you have some other board, download appropriate image and sends us logs if things doesn't work that we can improve Armbian (and it's derivates ;) If you don't use Armbian or wrong Armbian image, manual might not work.

     

    Anyone can try and confirm this - you are doing something wrong.

    Dietpi is neatly more adapted to orangepizero for beginner and easy installation.

     

    Their "more" adaptation of Orangepizero is exactly zero.

  3. Dietpi is made from Armbian Debian server. Low level (kernel / u-boot) bugs are the same, while they certainly created new bugs in user space level due to hard modifications. Modifications also raises security risks. "unimportant" packages were removed - which actually transfer normal build into half network install - and this stripped down image provide them a reason to claim a label "lightweight" which is not true.

     

    You need to run Armbian Debian or Ubuntu to be able to make use of such low level utilities.

  4. They are build automatically every day and no one knows if images works - we can't automate this kind of testing. We label images experimental, for developers - sometimes they work, sometimes don't ... until some developer invest his time, inspect and fix the problem. 

    We already started to talk about how we will solve this "daily building problem", since it produce much more problems than benefits. People simple does not read before download or does not understand what experimental means. Support questions regarding unfinished product (we are months away) are keep coming, even it's written everywhere that we don't provide any support for experimental and development builds. It's simply not possible.

  5. Orange Pi PC+ boots fine ... except boot logo is not working. GMAC at A20 than. Will check some H3 gmac if there are any troubles.

    Huh? And older releases boot fine?

     

    Yes. I just boot PC+ with 2017.03 and it boots fine. Slim chances that it was not recognised before and it is now. 

     

    Could be SD card issue, but now I have 2017.03 and it works. Will do more tests ... 

     

    Edit: Banana PRO is real problem, reported by some user few days ago.

  7. Opi One/Lite/PC+ , the latter gives:

    Banana PRO gmac, legacy kernel IIRC

    I've read many posts here and understand the OPi0 wireless chip isn't very well liked.

     


    Opi Zero is not suitable for such complex setup. Even you manage to patch the driver (for which you need advanced knowledge) and get all this working, performance would be terrible.
     

    Consider attaching some proven USB wireless chip or get Opi Zero 2 H3, which have at least a decent wireless chip and where this might be possible to achieve.

  9. I also does not experience any screen tearing with our build. There was some in system on eMMC, one of the first Ayufan's builds.

    is it going to be possible to add a boot screen and possibly the charge indicator/power on reason screen, or is that likely to be in the too hard/unimportant and unnecessary frills basket?


    Some small rework of u-boot will be needed for that but I guess its doable. But first I wanted to solve "going to suspend when lid is closed". I think it's some xfce related issue, since lid driver is present and working, manual suspend also work, ...

    IMO this needs to be discussed separately, not in this thread.


    :)

    Than let's find out how many useful feedback do we actually get? If usually made an image and test - almost don't use them, but I use repository.

     

    Phase out process. Supported from me and S500 is the first on the list. I would only remove them from download section, where some note / link should be added - "deprecated / unsupported / .. or smth like that.

     

    3rd point. Agree.
