[Anyone managed to successfully install OMV5 on Helios4?]

@_slayer_ Yes OMV5 is not officially stable.

 

I would personally recommend a fresh install of Armbian Buster and then install OMV5 via armbian-config tool.

 

FYI a new major Armbian release (20.05) is coming up in the coming days.

Do you have a rough estimate when Armbian 20.05 is going to be released?

I'm having a hard time clarifying if OMV 5 is stable on Helios 4 and if there are any successful builds out there.

 

Since there doesn't seem to be an upgrade path from OMV4 -> OMV5 and so requiring a full rebuild, I want to understand as much as possible before actually trying this new version out.

 

Any successes out there?

Issue Resolved!

 

By keeping the connection active and performing a reboot, I was able to connect in successfully!

I've installed the driver on both.

Update on this, as I've not made any progress yet...

 

I've now tried using puTTY from a Windows VM, but it just hangs on connecting...

Hi everyone.

 

I'm going through the setup process of my Helios4, but am encountering issues with the termina/serial login, which appears to be a character set issue of some type, which I can't figure out. Here is what I have so far:

sudo picocom -b 115200 /dev/tty.usbserial-DJ00JLDH
picocom v3.1

port is        : /dev/tty.usbserial-DJ00JLDH
flowcontrol    : none
baudrate is    : 115200
parity is      : none
databits are   : 8
stopbits are   : 1
escape is      : C-a
local echo is  : no
noinit is      : no
noreset is     : no
hangup is      : no
nolock is      : no
send_cmd is    : sz -vv
receive_cmd is : rz -vv -E
imap is        :
omap is        :
emap is        : crcrlf,delbs,
logfile is     : none
initstring     : none
exit_after is  : not set
exit is        : no

Terminal ready

Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS helios4 ttyS0

helios4 login:
Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS helios4 ttyS0

helios4 login: r?????p?????????????p?????????????~p?????????????????????~p??????????????????p?????????????p?????????????~p?????????????????????~p?????????????
Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS helios4 ttyS0

 

when I try to enter the root login details, the character set is obviously not set correctly, but I am not sure where to begin troubleshooting this, and there is nothing in previous threads or in the Wiki.

 

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

 

thanks!
