It all depends on the device itself. You have shitty flash drives and good quality sd cards and vice versa. So if you need endurance, you should stick to high endurance versions or flash drives, that use good quality 3d tlc flash.
With ordinary cards, even with sandisk ultras, it's always a gamble, what kind of quality bin you will get. Their purpose is to meet the speed spec, not endurance. It would not surprise me, if such card would die with a couple of 100s rewrites.

Its not an Orange Pi Zero - these are NanoPi devices.
The small (red) one is a 32Bit NanoPi Neo (H3/512MB) and the blue one is the 64Bit NanoPi Neo2 LTS (H5/1GB Ram) - see:

Awesome, that makes sense!
Still, not cool of them to not mention software they're using anywhere on their github page.
-
So i came across this mysterious vpn/network box thingy and it was suspiciously looking like an orange pi zero with a fancy case and some nice gui frontend.
To nobody's surprise, digging at the firmware image, it confirms my suspecion. It uses armbian!...
Looking at their github page, absolutely no mention of either armbian or sunxi team (even though their project would not exist without them).
Is armbian/sunxi team aware of this?
-
I wonder how chinese will respond. This is much better hw wise compared to the likes of orangepi3
-
You mean PI3 right? PC3 isnt released yet.
-
Devices with modified drivers should work, so it's not like its totally useless.
-
a second working sbc can also double as a serial adapter.

I've used the OPi3 Debian server and desktop image it works, but based on 3.10.65 kernel so a bit out of date, but it works for most things and Ethernet works, and USB3.0. So something to build upon, never had problems booting it. I've only managed to get one version from this post to work and that was @krachlatte version 06, none of the others.
So good luck on the next revision guys.
Awsome!
Thats really what im after. Replace my current ITX amd setup for opi3. SInce this is only a storage server, i don't really care for other than networking and usb3.Idea is to build as cheap storage server as possible using existing itx case (having a small opi sized board gives me room for more drives) capable of gigabit network transfers (so usb2 is out of the question).
OPI3 and Rock64 currently seem like the cheapest option. Rock64 being better supported and 5$ cheaper, but slower CPU and less usb3 ports
-
Question; is the original Ubuntu from xunlong or amrbian usable enough, so that at least usb3 and network works ? I'd really only need it as a storage server, so i don't need anything else.
Figured might as well get usb3 to sata bridges for my drives (insteado the pcie sata solution mention above), should work well enough for 2.5" drives.
-
Guys, would something like this
work on opi3, given how funky pcie is on H6 ?
That would make it a pretty awesome cheap NAS setup, if capable.

almost agree with you... I'll be keeping emmc.
About USB, If I remember correctly H6 only has 1USB2 and 1USB3 so just those too would be good (no need for internal usb hubs).
yeah, less usbs would help with cost. maybe 2x usb2 (use one from usb otg) and 1x usb3 (no need for a hub).
Id reserve emmc option for PC3+ model.
-
Still waiting for the cheaper PC3 variant, but this is one step closer. Nixing pcie, emmc, wifi and usb port (and maybe x2 usb2 / x2 usb3 setup) together with simpler pcb i can see this at ~25$ or perhaps even 20$.
That would make it an awesome ultra budget NAS setup, capable of gigabit speeds. Obviously, once H6 support is ironed out.

@gnthibault
I think this is kernel related. Since you had the box booting in older 3.14 kernel, i'm gonna assume the new 4.x kernel does not have the appropriate mmc/nand driver to boot from internal.
Personally, i've given up on armbian for this box and went with lakka instead. Since i'm only using this box for retro gaming, it's fine and nand install works flawlessly. I just wish lakka past version 2.0 would actually work properly.
-
Is there an armbian based retroarch distro ? Im currently using lakka on my s905 devices, but its pretty poor past version 2.1.
similar to retrorangepi

..you are sure that you got eMMC on your box?!-many got problems if it is nand instead, which needs somehow another attempt..
Thats a very good question. I though NAND and eMMC are treated the same, no ?
-
Funny enough, when i have sd card installed (with armbian) it boots fine and i can see and edit emmc partitions
-
Does eMMC booting work on latest versions ? I tried Armbian_5.67_Aml-s9xxx_Ubuntu_bionic_default_4.19.7_desktop_20181228 on my Sunvell T95X and while sd boot works flawlessly, when installing to nand using /root/install.sh script it finished installing successfully, but after i reboot the device, it does not boot (stuck at amlogic logo). Am i doing something wrong here ?
Prior to installing armbian i reflashed the device with stock firmware and activated multiboot using aml_autoscript zip.
-
My goal is to have a retro setup on my tanix tx3 mini running from NAND only.
-
Is there any way to flash armbian (or other linux distros) to Nand flash ?
all i see is option to boot from SD. While this is fine, nand flash seems to be faster than most sd cards + its wasted otherwise.

350 had plenty of problems, it's biggest strength was how cheap it was. The Mopar 318/340/360 was/is a far better engine series.
@Tido@chwe next time say $6. :-P
The thing I see with the V3s is the fact that it appears to be in the same price arena as the H3, and without full vdec/venc/camera support it doesn't have a single benefit over the H3 or a decent micro (esp32, etc)

for a cheap device it has the benefit of lower power and built in ram

Even without a Turbo, a GM LS V8 is an excellent option - one of the better motors GM has done...
350 would like to speak with you

Assuming anyone wanted to make a profit I don't think that's feasible. Now, if the boards' literally a microSD card, USB port, and 40 pin header, it might be close, but my guess is even soldering down the camera connectors would make it tight.

It would be interesting to see someone try. I'm sure it can be done, if raspberry is doing it with 512MB of ram (probably the bulk of the BOM).
-
Someone needs to make a V3s board targeting rpi zero formfactor and price (5$). That might just make sense.
-
Yep, only H6, H5, H3 and older chipsets dont support 10bit
Optimizing for Power consumption
in Allwinner sunxi
Posted
I have a solar application for PC, so my goal is to reduce the power consumption in idle as much as possible. How would one go about this with the latest armbian distros?
