Hi all, I've been building armbian images for my nanopim4 boards for some time with great success, however I refreshed the build scripts today and I'm seeing LOADS of errors flashing by and then It crashes - my build machine is an intel nuc I5 with 16gb RAM running Debian bookworm - I hope I've got the log url correct

@Gunjan Gupta - I rebooted and all was as it should be. Thanks for replying

Hi All, I wanted to add some dtoverlay lines to the pi's config.txt which was in /boot/firmware/config.txt and I notice the folder is empty ? WTF the pi is running ok - how can this be ?

@lanefu does this use NetworkManager ?

Hi All, as all my other boards run armbian I thought it only right that my raspberry 4b should run it, has anyone here successfuly installed Armbian on one ? I don't want to use Bookworm as it has Audio problems - my main use of the pi is to host Logitech media server running squeezelite TIA

@SteeMan - I ended up setting the environment variable BOARD_NAME in /etc/defaults/armbian-motd for the V1 boards - thanks again

Thanks @SteeMan I'll have a look

Hi all, I have several NanopiM4 SBC's, some are Nanopim4 and others Nanopim4v2. I use the Nanopim4v2 image on all of them and it works beautifully. When I ssh into the boxes I see which doesn't look great on here but it's basically NPIM4V2, I would like to change it to NPIM4 for the non M4V2 boards - anyone know how this is generated ? I don't even know what to call it ! Splash screen ? Logo ? Hope this makes sense

@SteeMan that was a cut paste error , well spotted though 👍

@Werner the same as you would be asked for normally, choose your board , choose kernel etc etc... I though if you supplied the values on the command line you wouldn't be asked for them by the script

Hi All, in an attempt speed up my Armbian image build process I put the last build choices in a bash script ./compile.sh BOARD=nanopim4v2 BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=yes BUILD_MINIMAL=no\ DESKTOP_APPGROUPS_SELECTED='browsers editors'\ DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT=gnome\ DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT_CONFIG_NAME=config_base\ KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=jammy but I still get prompted for input when I run the script - what am I doing wrong ?

Just to let people know that the NanoPiM4V2 build works on both NanoPiM4 and NanoPiM4V2 boards

I've worked out a very inelegant way of achieving what I want, once the compile.sh script has done its thing, I dd the image to an sdcard I have ready in a reader, mount the card, then copy a pre crafted NetWorkManager system connection file to the mounted card. Horrible I know but it works ( well it's worked once ).

Having successfuly built and installed an Armbian image I would like to configure the WiFi connection as part of the process. Currently on first boot I have to connect a network cable to the SBC and run armbian-config to configure the WiFi manually which is a bit of a drag when I'm updating 5 boards. Is this doable ?

Thanks @Werner but I want to have a go at building my own

Success - wow that was easier than it used to be

Hi all, I'm following a tutorial by @NicoD on building an Armbian image, the problem I have, is, my board ( NanoPiM4V2 ) isn't shown in the picklist - I 've tried one of the many RK3399 offerings ( Rockchip64 ) but whilst it built ok it didn't boot, anyone here know which board I should use ? Edit I found if you pass EXPERT=yes as a parameter to the install script the board is listed - I'm building it now and will post back the result End edit

@Igor thanks

Goodo - what is the latest image that will run on my board ? I tried Armbian_24.2.1_Nanopi-r4s_jammy_current_6.6.16_minimal.img earlier on and whilst it booted there was no wifi which is a must for me. I'm sure the Nanopi4 used to have its own image on here , but as it's no longer manufactured I guess it's not worth the effort, Thanks for all your effort on here

As the title states - I've been away for a while and can't remember where I should post 🙄

Pretty sure I did all that (without mc) and couldn't find anything of note - I've had this before and ended up reflashing - i would like to get to the bottom of it though.

Hi @going I gave up an reflashed in the end - the du -hs /home command gave me 200k all I had in /home was a folder with .bashrc in it - there is no way that card was full - thanks for trying to help me

@going the card is now back in the NanoPi and still reports that it is full up - thank you for your time and patience When I ssh into m4v203 I see this

Thank you very much for your detailed instructions I will try them when I get home and let you know how I get on
