    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.

    Written Armbian image correctly on 64 GB micro SD but it's not using full available space

    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.

    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.

    Cannot Install Armbian on Cubieboard 2

    in Allwinner sunxi

    Posted

    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

    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.

    running latest version of nightly


    Those images are containing unfinished / development / experimental kernel which is noted at download page. If some functionality is missing, it's possible it has to be done and in general we don't try to support kernel which is changing on daily basis. I have no idea if 1-wire is already done.

     

    This status matrix will help you understand: http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort ... for H5 everything is either WIP or 4.12+

     

    There is some legacy kernel for H5, where those things probably work, but we don't have much interest nor capacity to bring it to Armbian.

    Stable SBC with ubuntu and 4.4>= kernel for btrfs?

    in Beginners

    Posted

    Some ideas:

     

    Allwinner A20 based

    Cheap and solid, limited read / write SATA speed (as most those cheap boards), but provide full battery backup, also for single 2.5inch drive:
    https://www.armbian.com/olimex-lime-2-emmc/

     

    Marvell Armada 38x based
    Expensive but full SATA(via mPCI) or M2 speed:

    https://www.armbian.com/clearfog-base/

    And even more options:

    https://www.armbian.com/clearfog/

    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/helios4/helios4-personal-cloud-the-worlds-1st-open-source#

     

    Both platforms are very well supported in modern kernel.

    works but might not be a real solution.


    Exactly. I don't want to put this into the build. Let's put this behind - here in the forum as a tip - since it's not that urgent. Current browsing experience is already very nice - I haven't try with adding this tool.

    Did you look already through the list

     

    Looked yes, implemented not much. I am also having some thought regarding services in general withing a build system. We already have some and not well organised ... I put first one here -> build/scripts/services, but do we need to separate further? What would be the best future proof way?

     

    Currently struggle with hall / laptop lid and audio ...

    Powering Opi Lite

    in Allwinner sunxi

    Posted

    Stay away from powering via micro USB at all costs - if there is an alternative option to power via GPIO you always go for that.

     

    If you don't secure proper powering to the board, you will run into various odd problems. You seek troubles.
