    You expect a lot for free. This is open source, please submit a PR for improvements. The level of your involvement is what makes open source work or not work. Anyone around here would agree our doc is poor.
  4. SteeMan
    Get involved and submit a PR to: https://github.com/armbian/build

    You are using Orange Pi provided doc, but using Armbian and you expect the one to work with the other? Either use Armbian provided docs or use Orange Pi provided builds. Mixing the two is going to be a problem. I will advise that Orange Pi is not very well supported by Armbian due to the manufacturers unwillingness to work with Armbian.

    Let's start with basic information. What build are you using? What manual are you following? Did you first try running from an SD card?

    @ebin-dev Thanks for the explanation (i failed to notice that you were setting io_is_busy to a different value). I know that you are still working to stabilize this board. But at the end of this process, it should be possible to submit a PR to incorporate your settings into the base builds. Thus I'm looking for things that will make that difficult. I just added a comment to PR6507 stating that the way io_is_busy is now set doesn't allow it to be overridden if needed.

    FYI. This is now included in armbian-hardware-optimization as of the 24.05 release of Armbian. which I no you are disabling. Why are you disabling armbian-hardware-optimization? What is it doing that is conflicting with your settings?

    @cad 435 No you aren't really missing anything. In the stable channel, kernel .debs generally only get pushed out every three months when a new stable release is put out (24.05 will be out the end of this month for example). If you want to get regular updates of kernels you need to switch to the nightly builds repository in armbian-config. Right now there is no in between.

    That board is no longer a valid armbian board. It is EOS status (end of support). So there is no Armbian support and no community support for that board.
  11. SteeMan
    If you are running the community build you should be able to use the standard Armbian way: armbian-config

    I thought you might be interested in the following PRs: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/6120 https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/6507 In Armbian 24.02 the default governor was changed to schedutil and recently it was changed back to ondemand. There is a lot of discussion about why in these two PRs.

    @R Tech Moved your post to the correct thread.

    Installing the uboot package shouldn't have any impact. In fact from my understanding installing the package just downloads the files. You need to run armbian-config to actually install the uboot files.
  15. SteeMan
    That looks correct for your current situation. What is the contents of your /boot directory? And the output from : apt list --installed | grep linux and apt list --installed | grep armbian (I.m used to using the apt command instead of the dpkg command)
  16. SteeMan
    What are the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list? I have seen it happen that the upgrade will prompt you to delete obsolete packages and will consider the armbian packages obsolete and remove your kernel (which obviously is a problem)
  17. SteeMan
    Looks like you have the vendor kernel package installed. If you want mainline kernel, then you need to install the current kernel package. Run armbian-config and see what it tells you are the available kernels for you. Now realize that going from vendor to mainline kernel you might loose some functionality (there is an FAQ item on this), but you can always switch back to vendor kernel if it is important.

    Here is the most recent thread on s805:
  19. SteeMan
    There are is no Armbian support for s805 based tv boxes (only s905 based boxes).
  20. SteeMan
    @A J I'm not sure which image you have burned, but most images do not have a separate boot partition, they just have one ext4 partition that contains everything. Images that have a separate /boot partition do that either because of limitations of the u-boot version being used, or because they want to provide easier access to the /boot via a non linux platform (i.e. windows) for accessing the contents of that partition.
  21. SteeMan
    Yes dd will work
  22. SteeMan
    Armbian doesn't support TV boxes. Of the three major cpu families alwinner has the least support (practically no activity on alwinner). You can look at other threads in this forum discussing the h616.

    Moved to correct forum

    Because there really is no maintainer for this code. There has been a plan to rewrite it from scratch for a couple of years that hasn't moved very far either. So it just languishes, works sometimes and not others.
