  1. Recently I've bought small box which is kind if "wireless interface" for wired AA: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006001314624.html It works quite nicely with my Ford S-Max but I'm very curious man and got it open (aka teardown). Chips cannot be identified, they lack any marks. But there is DEBUG UART First I connected it into my PC. Removable disk appeared with a few files that keeps my phone's BT address and such information. Nothing really interesting. Then I powered up device when holding the button, it didn't start but went into some "flashing mode" I think - it was identified as USB\VID_1F3A&PID_EFE8 which means sunxi SoC OTG connector in FEL/flashing mode as far as I could google it. So Allwinner inside? At last I soldered pins to UART but I got only "U-Boot(01/24/2024)" and nothing more 😕 It doesn't react to keybord at all. I'm not experienced in "hacking" such ARM things, so maybe someone has any idea how to break booting and get into some console? Any idea what could I do to get into OS?
  2. I'm running octoprint on my OPI PC and I'd like to buy some cheap usb camera for printing time lapses and visual inspection. FHD resolution is sufficient. As far as I can see, octoprint uses mjpg-streamer. Does someone use such camera? Is H3 capable of process FHD videos at 30fps?
  3. No, I haven't. I favour board replacement to gain more horsepower for OMV (which is slow on 1-core right now).
  4. I have zyxel NSA325v2 nas right now, with custom OS (Debian Buster) which is based on single core armv5 cpu. It handles 2 wd red HDDs quite nice, just as RAID 1 volume (mdadm). But when I installed OMV 5 his "horsepower" was...well, nonexistent [emoji2955] Simple file upload via samba takes about 80% of cpu at load ~2.0, downloading at load 1.5 and iperf indicates about 650-700Mbps speed. So I started to wonder - as an user of a few OPIs - if it would be possible to upgrade my NAS in very cheap manner [emoji16] Let's say at $50 max. Does any setup - beside USB-to-SATA card - comes to your mind? Any real SATA sbc at this price is available at all? Or sbc + pci-to-sata card? What's your cheap nas setup?
  5. I was using OPI3 as my home automation server for many months, very stable for me with Armbian. But now I've migrated to more powerful machine and my OPI3 got nothing to do So I'm thinking about connecting it to my TV and use as light linux desktop: web browser mainly. Does anyone use OPI3 2GB RAM like that? Is it powerful enough to handle browsing with 10 tabs for example? Or I should go for some cheap RK3399+4GB RAM (under $50) instead? What's your experience?
  6. So effectively wlan0 down is the same as commenting it out in DT, right?
  7. I do not use wifi at all, so I'd like to disable it completely. It's not configured right now, but I wonder if I could power down whole chip, ex. commenting it out in DT file? Does it save some power or not?
  8. As far as comments are somehow meaningful it's perfectly fine. Consider this example: $ sudo apt list --upgradable Listing... Done armbian-config/bionic,bionic 5.98.191022 all [upgradable from: 5.98.191016] It would be nice to know what has changed in armbian-config package version 5.98.191022 compared to 5.98.191016, if it's worth to upgrade or just dangerous to me (like kernel/uboot). Commit comments are sufficient, I can just go to github repo to investigate it further. I really know that any hands are welcome, I've been tracking project for more than year and still have no time to participate (kids, kids, kids, work, building a house) :/ But maybe...some day...:P
  9. Diff would be really nice and 100% sufficient for me [emoji108]
  10. How to track changes in armbian packages, especially for dev boards like OPI 3? I know there is Changelog in docs site but it's not really up to date... For example apt reports me now that there are new packages to be updated: linux-dtb-dev-sunxi64 linux-image-dev-sunxi64 linux-u-boot-orangepi3-dev. How can I tracka/see changes made in them?
  11. This directive is deprecated now. But I've set realtime=no and this error has gone.
  12. So it seems we (users) can buy this SBC now, thanks a lot [emoji12]
  13. Is anyone using watchdog on OrangePi H3 family? I've tried to set it up on OPI 2 (almost the same as OPI PC but with wifi) and I'm getting some trouble with watchdog service startup: cannot set scheduler (errno = 1 = 'Operation not permitted') May 10 09:29:23 opi2 systemd[1]: Starting watchdog daemon... May 10 09:29:23 opi2 watchdog[12308]: String 'watchdog-device' found as '/dev/watchdog' May 10 09:29:23 opi2 watchdog[12308]: String 'admin' found as 'root' May 10 09:29:23 opi2 watchdog[12310]: starting daemon (5.15): May 10 09:29:23 opi2 watchdog[12310]: int=7s realtime=yes sync=no load=0,0,0 soft=no [cut!] May 10 09:29:23 opi2 watchdog[12310]: watchdog now set to 16 seconds May 10 09:29:23 opi2 watchdog[12310]: hardware watchdog identity: sunxi-wdt May 10 09:29:23 opi2 watchdog[12310]: cannot set scheduler (errno = 1 = 'Operation not permitted') May 10 09:29:23 opi2 systemd[1]: Started watchdog daemon. I'm using latest armbian: Welcome to ARMBIAN 5.85 stable Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS 4.19.38-sunxi It looks like problem with realtime schduling: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime and I've tried to add Delegate=cpu option to watchdog.service file but still no-go. Anyone was facing this issue?
  14. I own Chuwi Hi12 tablet based on Atom X5-Z8300 which was a bad guy due to keyboard/overall handling. I've successfully got rid of windows & android from eMMC and installed Ubuntu Server x64 So I decided get rid of some components as touchscreen, speakers, cameras, battery and use it as SBC headless server. Sadly ribbon cables were glued and I damaged one or two of them, so this is one-way trip now I think. But I can't power it on now :/ There is no reaction to power button at all. Does anyone have some experience with such boards? What components are required to be connected in order to boot it up? teardown pics 1 teardown pics 2
