I purchased 10 and will most probably buy more in future. :-P I had no issues with U-Boot 17.10 despite intensive testing. If you are in Germany, I can offer you a tested EspressoBin v7 1GB.
Can you send me a message or how do we make this happen?

I think I might have to take you up on this offer. I don't stay in Germany but I am sure I can be shipped to.

Any chance you have a USB3.0 Flash dongle around, to check if at least you can detect. Mouse is only USB2.0.
I happen to have a USB 3 device. An odroid emmc writer. When I plugged it to my laptop and ran a lsusb -D here is what I got

3A Max budget. Budget is both ports. So if one draw 2A, only 1A remains for the other one.
Do you have another USB device connected ? If not, then there is no reason it doesn't work.
What's the HDD model you are using ?
I am using it with a 2.5 WD slim 5v 0.55A drive. 1tb capacity. I am really confused. I could make a video. It works on my laptop and it is not even detected on via lsusb and the device led stays off. My mouse is detected right away though.
Could this be a power supply issue I have been reading about issue some people had with the power supply that came with the Helios4.

Could be that the power used from all USB devices exceed the max power budget of the USB power rail.
Do you have more than one device connected ?
What Orico model you are referring to ?
I used it with this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LY97QE8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The drive is a 1tb mechanical drive. No other device is connected. what is the max power budget and is it possible to increase it?

Please I noticed the USB 3 interface on my helios4 does not detect an external drive. When I plug in a 2.5 inch drive through an orico sata to USB 3 device. Nothing happens, even lsusb shows nothing.
Same drive is detected on my (Ubuntu 18.04) laptop.
Interestingly, the Helios4 detect a USB mouse, I could see it via lsusb and the mouse led lights up when connected.

@bigbrovar You are asking a general Linux question, this is not hardware specific.
Search for 'linux iscsi server' and you will find plenty of tutorial online.
It doesn't matter that the client is a different architecture.
Thanks. Just wanted to be sure.

Hi guys, what do I need to do to setup the Helios4 as a iscsi target and allow other computers connect to it. I am running latest armbian (buster)
Also would I be able to connect the Helios4 target to a 64b OS or it is doesn't matter.

Hi everyone. Been running my helios4 since last year. Runs like clock work. I currently have 2 WD Red 4 terabyte drives and I am looking to add an additional 2 1tb ssd drives (using a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter) the SSD are meant to be a storage for VMs I would be running on my laptops but shared via NFS. This got me wondering if having SSD shared over NFS through a Gigabit ethernet would bring any added advantage. If the ethernet card would limit my maximising the potential of the ssd drives (in write shd read speeds) Can can I get a second ethernet (over usb 3) and have a bond interface with the onboard nic..
Would appreciate insight on this.

Despite of all the seemingly bad news, I boldly ordered a batch of 10 EspressoBin V7 recently. Globalscale promised to test them for me for stability (I am not interested in squeezing out the last bit of performance), and I tested them again after reception: They all seem to run stable with Ubuntu Xenial (the "newest" image provided by Globalscale) and with Armbian kernel 4.19.59-mvebu64.
Since there is still a few weeks till they go on duty, if anyone is interested in a particular test on them, I am willing to do so. I am not into kernel development, so I would need some instruction. ;-)
Hey, I am considering getting this board as a openwrt router. How where you able to get them to commit to testing it before purchasing. Also have you had any issues since?
Dead Helios4 Board?

Hi all,
I got my helios4 sometimes in 2019 and it was one of the best purchases I ever made. It has served and was solid as a rock. Unfortunately all that ended couple of days ago when I noticed the Helios was not powering up properly, think it was the power supply not connected well (because I just recently changed the location) I removed and fitted the PSU a couple of times, I could see the led light come on but still it would not boot properly.
By the time I found out what the real problem is things had gone worse, the reason for the incomplete boot was the SD card has been removed. Unfortunately, it seems my constant removing and refitting the PSU to the board most have done some damage because right now the board has refused to come on.
I used a multi-meter to check the reading from the PSU and it is constantly at 12.5v but the molex for the sata is are all completely 0v. Same for the fan ground and 12v pin for the Fan male header. Curious enough, the control and sense pin out for the FAN reads about 4v. This is pretty much the only thing I was able to get reading from. Rest of the board just seem dead, no LED, no indication whatsoever that PSU is connected to the board.
I am aware that the PSU was one of the weak side of the Helios4, But like I said, the pin out of the PSU reads 12.5v so I am thinking maybe this is an issue with a blown mosfet? I am a total newb when it comes to computer hardware. There are no device out there (arm based and DIY) That comes close to the Helios so I am pretty much stuck. Any advise on how to troubleshoot this would be very much welcome.
