[RK3399 Orange Pi]

It's from Xunlong, but boards are not yet ready for testing AFAIK.

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.

[Opi Zero MAC address issue on Mainline kernel]

Mainline = experimental, no support. Network driver will be changed.

Armbian support feels like a bunch of parrots each time one of those questions from experimental area pops out 

[Armbian on cubox doesn't detect external USB DAC any more]

I uploaded images with most recent kernel (4.11.3) - one last check if it's any better. I am not sure we have any power and knowledge to deal with such weirdo / random problem. Perhaps folks at Freescale knows more about?

 

How about old / legacy kernel? Just to see if it's working there ...

[Banana Pi M2 audio support]

Not exactly trivial, but you need to add something like this: 

https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/patch/kernel/sun8i-dev/enable-codec-opi-2.patch

to board device tree which you can find in /boot/dtb ... decompile .dtb and back.

[Nano Pi Microphone]

On board audio is most likely disabled in config (/boot/script.bin) since the board does not provide it by default.

The network is out of function even when I don't change anything at the kernel config while building the new image.

 

It looks like there is a bug / changed parameter in upstream mainline u-boot source code ... temporally workaround is to switch u-boot branch to previous, add: BOOTBRANCH="tag:v2017.03" to userpatches/lib.config and recompile.

 

Regarding your patch ... you need to fix it or find appropriate one.

I thought armbian-config was going to be useable with the last update that went out?

 

 

Update hasn't been pushed out yet - too much problems and too little time.

Kodi with Openelec from @jernej on M2+ also works o.k.

[Armbian 5.27 Ubuntu Odroid C2 2160p]

Don't know exactly - I found this at hardkernel forums. I would suspect it's related to memory reservation or we are hitting the limit. 4K is on the edge what's possible to get out from this chip.

Did anyone try overlayfs feature recently?

 

In the latest nightlies, when I enable overlayfs on my Orange Pi Zero it works as expected, when I try to disable overlayfs again, the Zero does not boot up anymore.

 

It used to work, so this looks like a bug and need to be inspected.

[wrong access rights for dpkg-deb after U-Boot build]

WIP targets might not be done to the level that they boot. In any case, support for this board is very minimal and there is no much interest or activity. I can only delete the board out of config to save us answering that we cant help at this stage.

providing them with the information they need at a certain point

Absolutely agree that we have room for optimisation here. Perhaps removing the whole welcome part and having just this at first login?

Is there a way to avoid this? I don't need a dtb for a nanopi-m1, only for the OP1.

 

Clean your build environment. It's working fine for me.

Checking whether reboot is needed or not, telling the user that a reboot is necessary with one option 'reboot' requiring [enter]. No more hassles. And all the irrelevant motd stuff becoming active only on 2nd boot.

We changed automated rebooting with this note because some other users complained on this feature. It's impossible to please everybody at once. If we remove this, believe me, we won't do much good. People will start asking ... where is this and that

I never liked this motd stuff

You are not the only one but at least this is now quick and trivial to disable withing armbian-config.

[Armbian 5.27 Ubuntu Odroid C2 2160p]

Edit boot.ini and set bpp to 16.

Wireless is not handled by ifconfig but NetworkManager ... in latest images.

Reboot.

It was this:

https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/942ad06f08db5bad4104437d1a870fe47dfc7ac9

Will be fixed in next upgrade.

 

Safe to ignore - it does nothing.

Thank you, looks like I'm on the following now:

Welcome to ARMBIAN 5.27.170523 nightly Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS 4.11.2-rockchip

 

Than inside you have three branches, default, next and dev. You are using next branch now ... try switching between them in armbian-config.

Armbian beta repository contains automated & untested daily builds.

 

Those are not accessible in normal repository.

[Cannot Install Armbian on Cubieboard 2]

If you have some more patience, we will fix this problem, because Armbian must run stable on those A20 boards. People are having years of uptime with it and main Armbian WEB infrastructure was running on one A20 board until it was possible.

 

If we would drop support, than you would be able to boot some three years old u-boot and kernel (with bugs and security holes) w/o noticeable problem. We are moving on and provide most recent kernel and u-boot. This comes with a price, which you just experienced.

 

Tomorrow morning, in about 16 hours from now, you will have two nightly desktop images for Cubieboard2, build from recent sources. Check then and see if they work.

"NAND", "stable" and "modern kernel" is unfortunately not possible.

[HummingBoard2 boot from eMMC]

Quote

Any ideas what is going wrong?

Is it neccessary to do some manual changes in the environment.txt?

For example to change the boot location, where u-boot / kernel should be installed?

You don't need to do anything but something is probably not o.k. ... Do you see eMMC when you boot from SD. Try writing boot loader to eMMC manually ...  and privide armbianmonitor -u logs.
