I Just did a fresh install from a docker build, and copied onto emmc with armbian-config on my renegade elite. I chose btrfs as the format for the emmc, so it has created a btrfs root partition and ext4 boot partition. I tried to upgrade the kernel using apt but it fails, as the boot partition is full. It seems to have been resized to the exact size of the files when it was copied to emmc. Is this a bug in armbian-config? Is there a way to resize without removing emmc?

Is that one you compiled yourself, or downloaded?

I searched and thought updating uboot might help, searching on my system it says: linux-u-boot-roc-rk3399-pc-dev/now 20.05.0-trunk arm64 [installed,local] Uboot loader 2020.01 but message above says:

It does work, I have had it running since 20.04 was released with no difference from the official docker build I was using in 18.04. The main reason for me using the official version before was the one in the Ubuntu repo was too old before.

I think docker-ce is only if you have the docker repos added, which may not have 20.04 versions yet. docker-ce-cli is the one from the Ubuntu repos which is version 19.03 which I think is the latest version anyway.

Still waiting for my usb ttl serial dongle, tried 5.6.11 and it successfully booted with the 5.6.11 dtb. Upgraded to 5.6.12 and now after it is powered on a get a 2 blink pulse from the mezzanine green led for approx 20 secs then no LEDs and network is down still. Like previous unsuccessful versions the ethernet interface only comes up once, no change when LEDs stop Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk

I have installed syslog-ng which removes rsyslog, now I am trying to filter using journald as docker is set to log to journald. If I create docker.conf in /etc/syslog-ng/conf.d with: filter f_dockerd {"${.journald._COMM}" eq "dockerd"}; destination d_docker { file("/var/log/docker.log"); }; log { source(s_src); filter(f_dockerd); destination(d_docker); }; Everything is logged go to docker.log, not just docker logs. The journal source is already setup with system() I think as if I try to add a journald source I get the error there can only be one.

I tried with my usb ttl serial lead and just got question marks with terminal on macOS with 1500000 and 115200, I don't think my lead supports 1.5mbs so have ordered another one.

It's a mikrotik crs326-24g Poe switch, and a cat5e cable I crimped myself. I am not using USBC to power it. Probably going to be very tricky to access the serial pins with the mezzanine on, I will have a look later and see if they can be accessed. Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk

I have a POE mezzanine and the last dtb that works with is 5.5.11 I think, someone else posted this issue before. Just tried 5.6.10 and it doesn't boot, on my poe switch a normal boot is Ethernet interface up, then down, then up again and that's when networking comes up. The current draw is also around 80mA when running. With a newer dtb it shows interface up, it never goes down and networking doesn't come up. The current draw stays around 40mA after initially going up and down a bit. If I turn it off and remove the SD card and remove the dtb link in /boot and point it back to 5.5.11 as other post suggested it boots the newer kernel, and nvme is working on mezzanine.

Have you tried reducing the max speed with cpufrequtils, I think you can do it inside armbian config as well. Might be more stable at a lower speed Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk

Here is some instructions for a raspberry pi https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=132674 It has a local and remote network tho, not just a bridge.

On the u-boot website it says the custodian for Rockchip support is: philipp.tomsich {AT} theobroma-systems {DOT} com Have you tried them? Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk

nvme support works now, you need a 5.5 kernel and the mezzanine dtb file. There are two dtb files for the rk3399 now.

Was just a suggestion, I used to use 'screen' alot but haven't connected via the serial port in a long time. Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk

If you want to try lots of different versions and distros docker is great for that, you can spin up a container with your source directory mounted into it and install versions of packages you need. Then when you quit your host computer is unchanged. Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk

Are you using a terminal emulator to connect to the serial port? Some of them let you change settings on the fly Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk

I think kde and gnome both have a kiosk mode which is to just run one app and not allow the user to quit it etc

Yes that worked, with fdisk /dev/nvme0n1 I created a partition which is now /dev/nvme0n1p1 Thought it was like sata with sda being the first drive etc. Thanks Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk

I got an NVME one now, and it is recognized! Did a dd speed test and got 370mb/s on the nvme drive and 13.8mb/s on the SD card. I created an ext4 filesystem on the already existing single partition it had as if I do: sudo fdisk /dev/nvme0 I get the error Illegal seek and it exits. If I try: sudo parted /dev/nvme0 I get Error: The device /dev/nvme0 is so small it cannot possibly store a filesystem or partition table. Perhaps you are using the wrong device. But I can create a filesystem on /dev/nvmen1 mount it and dd a1gb file without errors. Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk

Thanks, didn't actually realize there was 2 kinds of M2 devices! Think I will put that in an enclosure and look for NVME then. Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk

I hope it's because it not powered, it's a western digital "green" M2 SSD. It's supposed to be a low power usage one. Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk

I tried 20.02 with kernel 5.5.6 to see if my m2 ssd would be recognised, it’s powered by POE and the switch is saying it is powering it at 52v. I changed the dtb file to the mezzanine one and now I get (when doing a dmesg | grep pci) [ 1.527318] vcc3v3_pcie: supplied by dc_12v [ 2.751978] rockchip-pcie f8000000.pcie: no vpcie12v regulator found [ 2.752081] rockchip-pcie f8000000.pcie: f8000000.pcie supply vpcie0v9 not found, using dummy regulator [ 3.305332] rockchip-pcie f8000000.pcie: PCIe link training gen1 timeout!
