    More proper testing - better Armbian experience

    Option B:

     

    - daily builds is more my quick typing. will be aligned to nightly

    - warning can be add when selecting. i already have javascript here to hide "torrent" link since it's n/a for nightly

    - if we choose to put recommended downloads, we need to add one field into board config, yes, but on the other hand this looks a bit more complex to me: https://www.armbian.com/bbb/

     

    I'll try to produce option C in the morning with moving things apart a little bit. It looks cluttered in both cases.

    I know you weren't talking about server load, but I wanted to ask, is there a particular reason Armbian doesn't provide magnet links for downloading images? It's pretty simple to generate them automatically (mktorrent) and it's possible to include web seeds (http sources) as well.

    It would maybe help @Igor who runs the download server if you explain to him why you weren't able to find the correct OS image (I've a theory but gave up long ago, IMO it would need an UI designer to look at this stuff)

     

    Torrents for all stable images are operational, but we need to rework download section.

     

    I was playing a little today and come up with this testing design:  https://www.armbian.com/aaa/ It's WIP, data is partially incorrect but provide real download links upon select.

    Shell we proceed into this direction?

    If there is no nightly image for your board, you need to build one. You need a whole image, not just kernel update as already stated:

    Stable image switched to beta repository will not have required changes, so nightly or user built image is required.

    , otherwise it wont work and we are wasting time.  Is this now clear?

    I don't understand how do you try to achieve that ... in hostapd CLI or within Network manager?

     

    You can switch to our beta repository and try if you can make hostapd work with our "armbian-config" (still in making). If wlan is properly recognised (that modules is loaded and firmware present), tool tries both possible hostapd variants and give you option of bridge / NAT network config if probe went o.k.

    try to post somthing with code inside spoiler tags


    If I do that to clean post, eg. SPOILER -> INSERT code, than it works. If there is anything else, than I can't add code. Well, I'll check their forums or file an support ticket.

    Hence, my assuming it didn't include the driver. given that the driver is present, any suggestions for getting it to work?

    I didn't went further with diagnostic part, since the core of this tool, basics what I wanted to achieve, is getting ready and now I am running it over and over again to find troubles. The main problem regarding enabling AP is that hostapd at regular repository is missing config file, while this is fixed in beta. That means if you don't switch to beta, this detection is broken for all standard wireless chips. Next it would be good to print out some debug info when detection fails in both cases ... but on the other hand if hostapd with most primitive settings doesn't work, than there is nothing we can do. If wireless is not detected, you should not get here anyway.

    Download pages are not perfect. Zador already helped make them better, but I guess, none of us is UX design pro. I think they should be as simple as possible, while important data should be close to / exposed at download buttons area. Well, perhaps staring into download page for few hours strait might bring up some ideas :)

     

    BTW. Yesterday I put together torrent server and all stable images can be download via torrent. We will have few dedicated seed spots around the globe, but at the moment, we seed them only at download server. This adds another item to the download page :)

    (i.e. with mainline u-boot environment can be edited from the OS using fw_setenv)


    I am puzzled with calculating offset. I found some parameters, which looks properly calculated, but it looks like it doesn't write to the right place, since u-boot stuck at prompt.


    /etc/fw_env.config 

    # Device to access      offset          env size
/dev/mmcblk0            0x88000         0x20000


    This is a bit old but numbers looks alright ? https://blog.night-shade.org.uk/2014/01/fw_printenv-config-for-allwinner-devices/

    For proper debugging, you need to get a serial console.

     

    Most likely everything is fine. For a typical setup, just make sure you have a wired connection to your router when you power the board. Than check IP on the router and connect via SSH. The other way is serial console, since this board is headless by default. Well, the board also has some composite video out, but that's another story. I am not sure if it's enabled at this board.

    Does anyone know why the current nanopi neo 2 image does not include the ath9k_htc driver? The nanopi neo image included it. 


    Nanopi Neo 2 uses different chip and architecture (H5, arm64) kernel and configurations are not and can't be always the same. This is config for Neo 2 kernel and it looks like this module is there:
