  1. 1. OK

    2. Yes it works now, while cleaning the mess, as Thomas suggested, remain open.

    3. Problems are only when something is on USB in all other cases I could not reproduce - when using a proper PSU. I suspect it has something to do with power stability. If some not so perfect source is used, board might not boot. There is nothing more to be done here.

    4. I'll try to squeeze this into this release.

  2. I made some tests with latest nightly Xenial with kernel 4.9

     

    Firmware for the board is missing, since it's missing in our repository too (compiled without externals - my mistake - will be fixed in tomorrows build). After downloading it, things works as expected.

    I have to note that reconnecting to previously associated AP (after reboot as example) is slow so you need to wait some more time to get an IP. This is somehow strange ... Speed? It's a low cost chip ... from Allwinner.

     

    One more thing to note: sometimes it doesn't see my AP even it's 1m away.

  3. But after that, dhcp does not work. I use "ifconfig " to check eth interface. I can see the eth0 and it's MAC address,but no IP address.

     I guess that DHCP is disable.

     

    After setting new screen resolution or after changing .bin files? This is a temporally solution anyway. You need to adjust micro.bin (bin2fex, edit+save, fex2bin) here. Copy and past that section from file you are using now. New settings come into action at boot.

     

  4. Omega v1 had Atheros chipset while current v2 uses MT7688 ... Atheros is at least OSS friendly while Mediatek is not and "wanna be" router class at best. C.H.I.P. has Realtek 8723DS ... which is also not router class hw. Same shit, just in different package. Remember that "routerboard" Banana R1 was also advertised to run Openwrt :)

     

    Good things are extremely hard to find those days :(

  5. pratically the projects are very low prices ....this is because I'm choosing the orange pi 

    Anyway , it's a sin because the orange pi are very powerfull with ram , emmc and else 

    I will follow the tutorial where explains how to install the driver 8188eu .....

    You can succeed with low cost devices to get a decent performance. But it's usually more painful, require hard work and / or deep knowledge - to debug and fix problems.

     

    I honestly wish you good luck and remember to have fun  :P

  6.  

    Is there any way to change brightness settings on CAM500B? I can't get clear images fswebcam.

     

    Using nanopi neo air with CAM500B and Ubuntu core.

    Thanks

     

    There is different / patched driver within Armbian kernel. This problem might be the same or not ... We can't support 3rd party image builds.

  7. Let's speculate that bad support for A64 is because it was introduced by a board maker(s), which does not understand this business. They know how to generate sales, but they completely fail to establish rapport with community, which is essential for such projects. Support is terrible and they expect that everything is done by community without any input except a bunch of free boards. On the other hand Hardkernel try ... harder  ;) My first impression with Pine64 was - yet another cash collecting scheme, while for Hardkernel I can have neutral feelings at worst.

    • inexperienced vs experienced?
    • raising popularity of Amlogic?
    • right place at right time?

    None of above?

  8. This one could work: http://www.ebay.de/itm/AC1200-Dual-Band-WLAN-Adapter-WiFi-USB-3-0-WPS-802-11AC-Dongle-WINDOWS-10-DE-/222057434352 with this driver https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au on mainline kernel.

    But you need powered USB3 hub, otherwise it will not even start.

     

    If you want to use it as dual band AP, forget about. Not possible ... get a router or a router like board. Be aware that junk router boards also exists ... 

  9. Armbian supported boards with mPCI: Hummingboard and Clearfog in different variants. There are also Intel / AMD based but they are even more expensier. Recommended wifi card chipsets: 
    https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath9k (fully OSS, up to 450 Mbps)
    https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath10k (firmware based, AC)
     

    One more thing to mentioned. Not all mPCI cards support AP mode ... they are locked down by the firmware so you are forced to buy expensive "router class" cards. There is a hack for ath9k (already build into most Armbian kernels) since it's an OSS driver, while you have no choice with recent ath10k based cards ATM.

     

    Linux wireless wiki is also a good start to know more about wifi.
    https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org
     

    For general stuff get this:

  10. I am just saying that you will face similar problems elsewhere because of Linux nature / architecture. Most wireless keys will work out of the box (or after driver install) only on your PC running Windows at best. (RPi running Windows is excluded)

    What to do? Learn, explore and understand that things are not just granted to work. Someone must write a driver and someone must fix problems with that driver - support is essential ... Most chip makers does this job badly, half way. As I said, we try but already hardly manage to cope with on board WiFi chips ... which are mostly low cost.

     

    If you want some professional grade services, you'll need to switch for better hardware - check boards that fancy mPCI slot, where you can put a proper router class wireless card. (Only) Those wireless cards usually works how you expect.
