Hi, the situation with Lamobo is very bad. I understand reasons, why you drop support for the board, but you should provide last working configuration for possible upgrades. All devices with next kernel will die after apt-get upgrade. This happened to me today. In archive is nothing working with kernel 4.x, which I need. So is it possible remove R1 from build target and in download section offer last 4.x kernel with switch support? And block kernel upgrade using apt? Thanks, Petr

1.29 is good and stable, it was big step forward from previous version.

Everything depends on what do you need. I required two 1280x720 cameras at 10FPS, three 640x480. The reason was, that our old dual core xenon server was overloaded, so I tried to move the system to ARM. But generally, if you dont need so high framerate, one board should be enough for several cameras. For zoneminder is one important rule - more cores are better Other things you can tune up by software. Thats my experience. But finally I replaced dual core xenon by quad core xenon and the system load drops down to 10%. PM

Hi, I tested zoneminder a time ago with two RPI3 as image processing and Lamobo R1 as storage and SQL server and results was really nice But it's not easy to configure it the right way See printscreen! PM

Try to compile it from source. It is easy with armbian, everything is preinstalled and you don't need to wait for somebody to fix it. Or, did you find another solution?

It seems to be ok: root@TVheadend:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tvheadend.list deb https://dl.bintray.com/tvheadend/deb wheezy release root@TVheadend:~# In the meantime I compiled tvheadend from source, but I have another issue with uploading firmware to USB dongle: [ 8.725304] dvb-usb: found a 'Leadtek WinFast DTV Dongle Gold' in warm state.

Kernel 4.4.1-sunxi has no problem with uploading firmware ....

Hi, I am trying to install TVheadend using Debian-micro-home-server, but no success. Armbian Wheezy with legacy kernel. See printscreen. Any idea? PM

Hi Patcher, you are absolutely right! Take a look on the second picture, A20 without heatsink

Hardcore solution :-))

Hi Tkaiser, USB-to-Ethernet dongle is not the only solution. People with PPPoE are without problems, as the people with tagged wan. If you have a switch at home with two unused ports, you can tag your wan and everything should be ok. PM

It looks like big step forward I will try it on my lamobo during weekend

Hi Rui, it looks impresive, but I had similar results with some drivers a time before. How many devices do you have connected to the AP? Try to connect for example 3 or 4 wifi devices, some of the far from the AP and generate network traffic simultaneously. If your driver will handle it without speed drop to minimum, congatulations!!!! Petr

Ok, I will let it run as it is. Thanks.

The question is, if the device will overlive till evening. System is running on SD card and HD is only for data. Is the linux log so clever, that when there is no space for logging will flush logfiles?

Hi, after pure installation Armbian_4.5_Lamobo-r1_Debian_wheezy_3.4.109.zip, the log is full of GMAC messages: [43099.518189] GMAC TX status: VLAN frame [43099.521192] GMAC TX status: VLAN frame [43099.524646] GMAC TX status: VLAN frame [43111.775611] GMAC TX status: VLAN frame [43112.963963] GMAC TX status: VLAN frame [43112.980989] GMAC TX status: VLAN frame [43112.986370] GMAC TX status: VLAN frame [43112.989681] GMAC TX status: VLAN frame [43112.992410] GMAC TX status: VLAN frame [43112.996184] GMAC TX status: VLAN frame [43113.002038] GMAC TX status: VLAN frame [43113.973308] GMAC TX status: VLAN frame [43113.976078] GMAC TX status: VLAN frame [43114.143583] GMAC TX status: VLAN frame [43114.487643] GMAC TX status: VLAN frame [43114.700444] GMAC TX status: VLAN frame [43115.015755] GMAC TX status: VLAN frame [43115.188027] GMAC TX status: VLAN frame Bug? Or I configured something wrong? PM

Hi, look at label on the disk, there should be power consumption. I have tested R1 with ordinary mechanical disks with consumption <500mA. In this case is USB power strong enough. If your disk have consumption ~1A, USB is not enough.

You need probably the same configuration as cfi700. So follow his steps in this forum and everything should work.

Hi, there is more cases, how the interface can be down. It can be physicaly unpluged, it can be can be up, but without connection to the internet etc. If you want real failover connection, you have to write some script, which will check connection availability. Something like this: if ping -I eth0 8.8.8.8 then ip route change default via eth0 gateway else ip route change default via ppp0 gateway I did this for my friend a time ago and it works fine.

:-) the board is so bad and so good... Goethe is right

:-) I was in the same situation several months before. Lamobo can work perfectly, as both of my lamobo does, but you must: (thanks to Igor, Patcher, Tkaiser etc...) - Operate Lamobo verticaly - put high profile heatsink to BCM switch (under the harddisk) - put heatsink to A20 If you use ordinary HDD with consumption 500mA, no USB, no WiFi, no HDMI and you have good USB power cable, you don´t need secondary power via battery connector. :-) It works ))) PM

You must convert /boot/script.bin to fex by bin2fex tool, edit and convert back by fex2bin tool. What device do you want to connect? I have piface with LCD display, which is also connected by SPI (MCP23s17 expander), I tried it some time before with my R1, but without success. If you will make SPI working, post your experiences here, please

I found some documents on the net, but they did not help ... So I did it my way :D

The key is to reverse compile dtb to dts, then you get easy readable format of the file. So when you want to change this led to PH20, try this: in first section: allwinner,pins = "PH20" in second section: gpios = <0x1a 0x7 0x14 0x0>; This should work. I found this way by reverse engineering, but once more gpios parameters: 0x1a - I dont konow 0x7 - port group, group is "H"=7 (A=0 etc) 0x14 - port number is 20 (PH20) and when you convert 20 to hexadecimal = 0x14.
