Many.  I think the feature was suggested by someone in China.  Honestly the first time we've received negative feedback  on it.    
 
I know we do webseeds, but I've never dug into it.    
 
Is it illegal to connect to torrent trackers in Australia?

Seems like Armbian would be big enough to apply for this: https://www.fastly.com/open-source/

Dear all,
 
Ok ok, I realize my previous post with $100 for this task is a bit low. Please do keep in mind, that this is only my personal hobby project.
 
With that in mind, I hereby offer $500 to anyone, who can update the DTB file to work with the current version of Armbian.
 
BTW, I have a freelancer.com account with a 5.0 rating as employer (as well as freelancer): https://www.freelancer.com/u/LeHawkDeLaNight - I can start a new project for you there, so there is no doubts about getting payed the $500.
 
Thanks again,
Roy
 
Original post:
 
Dear all,
 
I have an Android TV-Box which is not a common type (but brand new). No existing DTB file that I tried works properly with Armbian (Ex. WiFi & Bluetooth missing).
 
I have managed to extract the original DTB file from the built in Android (Pie, I believe), but as I read somewhere else, these DTB files are for older Linux kernels, and Armbian refuses to boot with it.
 
My question: would anybody here like to attempt to update the DTB file, so that it adheres to the current Linux kernels standards for DTB files? I will offer $100 to anyone who can make it work.
 
Technical specs of TV-Box:
 
Amlogic S905X3 CPU
4GB RAM
64GB eMMC
2 X USB 2.0 & 1 X USB 3.0
Micro SD Card slot
HDMI 2.1
AV out
SPDIF/Optical
WiFi 2.4G/5G
100M Ethernet
Bluetooth 4.1
 
P.S. Please download the DTB/DTS files from here: 
 
 
Regards,
Roy

Regardless if we go for release or not a name has to be choosen: https://www.codenamegenerator.com/
Do you thing and let us know how we have to call what we may abandon anyway!

I would still go on with the February release, we skipped last one, lets get this one done.
 
Am targeting 2022-01-29 (Saturday, 29 of January 2022) for release meeting, and then about 4 weeks later 2022-02-25 (Friday, 25 of February 2022) for actual release. 
Release meeting earlier than 2022-01-25 is not possible from my calendar.
 
 

I would like to buy TWO (bundles of) HELIOS 64:
- ONE to DONATE to the developers of ARMBIAN (my first priority). 
- the SECOND for me myself and I ;-) since I need a backup because my setting is a bit flaky.

Since I am an egoist - I would donate the device as soon as I am able to get hold of a second helios64
(I hope this increases the chances a little bit to get one.)
- of course I would take over all costs to deliver it to the ARMBIAN devs.
 
Thanks, Amix

@Igor etc....
 
Should we hold off on Feb release?

Sure! Many things was extracted from there (armbian docs), I will put some uncovered topics there.

hey thats nice stuff...   are you interesting in putting some of that info in our main docs https://github.com/armbian/documentation ?

Thank-you @lanefu. Your pointer to a solution worked, but it took some time for me to learn how to do this.  Finally came across this one page that explained how to automount a share using systemd.
https://anteru.net/blog/2019/automatic-mounts-using-systemd/
 
This worked for me:
root@loki:/etc/systemd/system# cat zeus-raspi.mount [Unit] Description=/zeus/raspi [Mount] What=//192.168.0.160/raspi Where=/zeus/raspi Type=cifs Options=rw,auto,uid=1001,gid=1002,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755,vers=3,credentials=/etc/.smbcredentials_raspi_01 DirectoryMode=0755 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ----- root@loki:/etc/systemd/system# cat zeus-raspi.automount [Unit] Description=/zeus/raspi [Automount] Where=/zeus/raspi [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target  

Hello Everyone
 
This is my first topic here. To help myself in the future I did a guide to adjust armbian configuration and settings. This guide contains topics like:
Maintaining the board updated Adjusting personal settings (keyboard, timezone, locale) Setting the sound output (default sound output to HDMI) Disable the desktop environment Setting the numlock to "ON" at start up Dealing with 4k video resolution  
It was based on my experience dealing with Orangepi PC (H3), but many things could be reused to others boards.
 
I hope this guide may be helpful: https://github.com/lbmendes/armbian-settings/blob/main/README.md

Already creating this release topic for 22.02, to discuss upcoming changes, no longer maintained boards and help new people get into the release / maintain flow.
 
Current steps:
- Refine supported/WIP/CSC/etc. board status
- Update maintainer list
- Onboard new maintainers / contributors
- Move Jira issues to new release
- Select release name

Pls. ping developers I forgot  

Armbianmonitor: http://ix.io/3JQi I loaded both the Raxda Debian OS and the Armbian OS on the Rock Pi 4A+ (4GB RAM / 32GB eMMC) integrated eMMC chip and both boot fine. I then ran the Phoronix pts/scikit-learn benchmark and got a big discrepancy in performance: https://openbenchmarking.org/result/2112285-NE-2112281NE08
 
The Raxda Debian OS (noted as rockpi4a+raxdadebian in the benchmark) performs basically the same as the Rock Pi 4A version (noted as rockpi4-rk3399 running Armbian), as expected. The Armbian OS (tested multiple times as rockpi4a-emmc, rockpi4a+, rockpi4a+governor, and rockpi4a+armbian) all perform terribly.
 
Thoughts?

@lanefuI love the device tree (the one with the boards welded on). I ended up using a storage box with little drawers I got off Amazon and made the cut outs with a rotary tool. This was right after I had it complete. Those Android sticks were quad cores running Linux. That's how I started before most SBCs were sold. Note the active cooling
 

I do not have any other A20 board. I will ask around my colleagues for a spare one.
Though If indeed there is a spare cubietruck to be provided by any forum member I would gladly help maintain this board.

Anyone can use the Armbian Build Tools to produce their own kernel debs or images.  The code will remain.
