Question to the owners of Quartz64.
I have a pcie-nvme adapter. Tell me which image you want me to test if needed and in which config (link?).
-
Hi, I built my first image with the new framework. The CLI is nicer, and it seems to be much quicker (but I changed my compilation machine, since now it works on WSL2 😀).
Great work! 👏

Is this when starting with eMMC ? Which ports is the keyboard connected to ?
I tested again and from emmc and usb, the behavior is the same. White usb ports don't work before linux kernel is loaded. However, the blue and black one are working with grub and I only tested the white one.
I tried to press escape key during uefi screen but it does nothing and when I select UEFI settings in grub menu, it reboots, the UEFI screen appears and it comes back to grub even if I press escape key.

I haven't any pcie adaptor to connect an nvme module.
I tested the 4 usb ports and only 3 of them works to boot. When my usb key is plugged in the blue port, the system on emmc starts like nothing is plugged into the board.
I'm not sure what you want me to try with grub. I ran:
sudo update-grubHowever, my usb keyboard is not working during uefi and grub steps (i tested 2 keyboards), whereas it works well under ubuntu from which I'm writing this post.
Let me know if I misunderstood something.
In case it is relevant for you, here is the output of armbian-config -u: https://paste.armbian.com/ezamiyexic

Hi,
I confirm that EDK2-EFI works well on quartz64-a. I burnt the latest image on sd card, then I used armbian-config to install it on emmc. After reboot I saw efi screen and grub menu and it starts well directly from emmc.
Well done!👏
I'll make additional testing now, but don't hesitate to ask if you need more feedbacks.

I have built the BananaPI CM4 Image. It's ok to boot, but audio failed due to some DTS problems. This may be one point that Bananapi official Image not fully released for now.
I built also an image for M2S but I didn't tested hdmi audio. The second ethernet port was working, so I'm studying the device tree to check what is missing in mine.

I found bananapi cm4 and m2s armbian build github supported by its official maintenancer, https://github.com/Dangku/armbian-build/.
Good find! They fork armbian and add the board differently.
I'll look at this to check how to take the good part from it. My main issue is about the second ethernet port (RTL8111H), for which I don't see how to make it work. I tried several device modifications but without any success.
-
Hi, I don't have this board, but since it is from the same manufacturer, we can hope that the 2 boards share similar elements. For instance, the GbE ship is the same (RTL8211F), the same amount of emmc and ram.
If you have the base board and an sd card, you can try to boot it. If you don't want to build an image by yourself, you can start by trying the Radxa zero2 image that was able to start my M2S board.

Hi,
This is my first try to add a board to armbian build system.
I got a BPI M2S since several months, but only had time recently to investigate on this promising SBC.
I made a PR here, if somebody wants to try it: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/4597
The main improvements are to be done for the dts file, since I'm not an expert about such file definition. Only 1 ethernet of the Gbit ports is working, since I copy the config from vim3 that share the same hardware for it.
I didn't try to customize u-boot and I use the one for radxa zero2 that works to launch armbian on the board.
armbianmonitor -u is here: https://paste.armbian.com/piyuqajeye

Hello,
can i use image 20220220-5.16 for Station M2 with Pine64 Quartz64 ?
Thanks in advanceHi, you can try, but take care of changing the dtb to use quartz64. My last try was successful and most basic features were working well.
-
In fact, you should be able to build an image for this board by building one for station m2 and modifying the dtb file in the board config file https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/boards/station-m2.conf
To add it as a independent board, you have more files to create/modify like in the examples provided by Werner and Igor at the beginning of this thread.
-
What are you're current state?
I tested one of the lastest station m2 image from Balbes150 (kernel 5.16-rc6) and after changing the dtb in extlinux.conf to the one of quartz64-a, then it boots well.
My first impression is quite good! I'm able to boot, configure and install to emmc.
I just identify that the single usb2 and usb3 ports are not active, only the 2 grouped usb2.0 ports works.
-
It seems that 5.16 kernel has hdmi working:
-
If the main difference with original armbian is mainly relating to this code, I would prefer to fork armbian and apply similar modifications afterwards. Then, changing u-boot and kernel sources are mainly here to use specific patches, but it is sometimes difficult to understand them and combine them so that it works.
-
I suppose that most images generated by Balbes150 are from his github repository: https://github.com/150balbes/build
So you may be able to access sources and build an image by yourself.
-
Hi, you can also give a try to Balbes150 images for station m2:
In my opinion, the main problem is the dtb that should be adapted from rock pi3a or station m2, but the image should boot and some basics features (SoC related) may work depending on the kernel version. Other features related to additional hardware (eth,wlan,usb,etc.) may be different and need dts modifications.

Khadas vim2 image can be a good alternative if it works on your box: https://www.armbian.com/khadas-vim2/
But be careful and maybe don't install it on emmc.
-
Hi, I'm looking at this too, but I'm new to Ansible and starting to learn about it.
I've forked autotests and started to play with playbooks and roles. My modest additions can be viewed here: https://github.com/jeanrhum/autotests
As I understand, QA repository is the new way to go and all must be built from scratch. I'll continue my expriments on my side, waiting for guidelines on QA to see if I can help in some way.

Hi, I can help in some development tasks, but I've not enough time and experience to do more.

A note: GPU is not involved in hardware video acceleration, so tinkering with the driver won't provide any dramatic performance improvement.
Just to complete the answer of jock, you have to look at the VPU (video processing unit) support. For Rockchip Socs its name is hantro.

Your question is not related to Armbian and you should have the answer by yourself depending on your needs and use cases.
Is your laptop based on an arm soc and are you running Armbian on it?

I faced the same issue on rock pi 4c and installing slick-greeter also solved the problem.

Hi Malaga,
Your question is not directly related to armbian or any relevant OS for a given board, but it is more a question about docker itself and how it manages data: https://docs.docker.com/storage/
On dockerhub, you'll find most images where the data specific to the encapsulated software is binded to a local folder by setting the relevant volume. Look for instance to this image: https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/nextcloud where -v /path/to/appdata:/config defines the location where your can access to the config files from the host operating system and -v /path/to/data:/data corresponds to the data stored with nextcloud so that you can target any local drive properly configured and mounted from the host operating system.

Nice possibilities, have you tried something?
What are the requirements to do that (kernel version, patchset...)?
ps: a more readable version of your link (even if rst is not too bad): https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/devicetree/overlay-notes.html

I'm able to access the files from my nvme drive 👍
