Sorry, I was away. I'll try to fix it ASAP

Congratulations!   Are you marrying S905X?    

Hi! reminding everyone of meeting
 
 

That is correct. Support: https://docs.armbian.com/#what-is-supported creates costs which are 99% covered by us, which means it will wait for a free slot. This can be stretched from days to years. You have to understand that this vendor never covered us a single minute for supporting troubles their customers have by using (one if not the best available) OS for their hardware. Nor "you" see and feel the necessity to cover support costs you make. Since none of you see value in getting help, there is no warranty we will fix this and you might need to wait months ... 
 
Workaround = use old builds.

Search the forums. Don't expect official documents: as we have stated several times, Rock64 is not supported by Armbian, and therefore we won't put resources into it. If you, or any other community member, wants to work on documenting the problems or fixing them, feel free to do it. I don't even own the board.
 
And please start a different thread on the "Peer-to-Peer Support" subforum. Any further post about the Rock64 problems will be deleted from this thread.

I'm just starting to get into the specifics of Allwinner, so my interests in this area are limited to H6 and H5 (in the future, H616). A year ago, I was interested in the possibility of acquiring PinePhone and PinebucPro, but due to the peculiarities of delivery in my area, Pine64 politely explained that this is not possible (I have no complaints about them, this is their business, they decide how to run it).

Update to version 20210319. Using kernel 5.10.24. Added support for Firefly-rk3399 in station-p1 images (for proper operation, you need to configure DTB in extlinux.conf). With the correct DTB setup, the HDMI audio LAN WiFi BT works in kernel 5.10. In kernel 4.4 worck remote control and analog sound.

New version of Armbian 20210311.
Based on the main core 5.10.23.
Now anyone can build their own version of Armbian for Jetson Nano without an external PC, the entire process is completely performed on the Jetson Nano itself.

 

Good news. 
Thanks to the work of many, there is now a real opportunity to run the Armbian system with the main core on Jetson Nano, and more importantly, it is easy to integrate the image build process into the official GIT Armbian. In the near future, I plan to post ready-made images with the latest kernel 5.10.22 on the download site. To run them, you need to update u-boot to Jetson Nano. This is very easy to do, just run the latest official version of Ubuntu for Jetson Nano from the SD card, it will update itself in SPI (?) u-boot to the latest version (2020.04), after that you can run Armbian from any SD card or USB media. The new u-boot supports automatic system startup from both media or over the network. Also, now you can build an Armbian image for Jetson Nano yourself, easily build the latest kernel with the necessary options, etc.

Good news. You can now use the main core to run on Jetson Nano. I have already added the necessary data to the build system and you can build an image for Jetson Nano using the official sources of the main core.

I understand your point, but I just want this to have 1 wire for my POE switch.  My cluster is pretty reliable for my nomad workloads at home.

If the cluster is needed for real productive work, and not for "try and practice". Need to look at the correct configuration of the entire complex. Required elements.
1. High-quality metal housing for use in racks. The metal of the housing shields the interference, ensures proper cooling and stability of the parameters.
2. Power supply unit. There is not even anything to discuss here, only a high-quality product and it is very desirable with hot replacement and redundancy. If the cluster is running, it is not allowed to interrupt it due to a power drop.
3. Smart cooling system (passive radiators on the elements and a general active fan system with control sensors). It is a "system", and not a set of mismatched fans with difficult docking and control. Independent hardware management.
4. Easy extensibility and scalability (different modules by performance and configuration from minimum to maximum). And the free build-up (addition) of modules without complex reconfiguration of the entire system.
Firefly R1 R2 servers are well suited for these requirements. But this is for those who really understand that they need the maximum cost / result ratio from the cluster system. For those who only want to practice and learn the principles-you can use any model, up to the simplest TV boxes. 

Release Planning: April 3rd. Meeting in IRC channel #armbian on freenode. Meeting starts at 2pm GMT.
(let me know if this is a bad date, because it is around easter holiday in Germany for example)
 
Code Freeze: 2021-04-19 (Monday April 19th)
Release Date: 2021-05-09 (Sunday May 9th)
Release Candidate: https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/v21.05.0-rc
Changelog: https://docs.armbian.com/Release_Changelog/#v2105-2021-05-09
Coordinator: @Heisath
 
The goal of this thread is to discuss testing, bugfixes, and the overall quality of the release. 
 
Open topics:
- complete desktop branch merge into master (this seems generally done, but might need fine tuning)
- enable 3D support (also done? Bugfixing)
- discuss support for desktops (IIRC it was planned to have a longer supported LTS desktop version, we need a maintainer for that, if it happens)
- check if remaining boards can / have been updated to LK5.10 (some were left out last release)
- check possible u-boot updates
- complete remaining Jira issues
- cycle and check board support status (espressobin for example needs a new maintainer (otherwise EOS) @Pali maybe?)
- late topics: 
- business meeting schedule
- kernel config changes on arm64
 
Release Planning Meeting Agenda:
 
Please add developers and more topics below, I will then also add them here.

On the TX6, I removed the bottom cover of the case and use this model upside down (so that the radiator looks up and has a good run for air movement). I do not know what kind of idiot designs TV boxes in China, they put the board in the case with the radiator down, this is complete idiocy. Apparently, these "engineers" did not go to school and do not know the laws of physics at all - hot air always moves up (if there is no fan). Therefore, with passive cooling (without forced air supply from the fan), it is necessary to place the radiator so that the air passes to it as best as possible and the heated air freely goes up.

Good!  Let them read some books, lest they never become as studious as their father! 

ArmbianTV is an extended version of the official Armbian.

New images are available for rk3188 (20210301).  https://disk.yandex.ru/d/bmsU1aueVGLPjA?w=1
Anyone can build their own version, I added build support for rk3188 and rk3288 to my GIT.

Here's the video.
Thank you @balbes150 for the images and @JMCCfor the media script.
Now I can start with something else

I'll add your use case (sd + nvme) to install, but you  have to check it yourself.
