Sold on Reddit.
Hello,
looking at selling my Helios64.
Mostly looking at getting a price check (what's the device still worth) and gauging interest.
Device is in pristine condition, standard fans were swapped for Noctua NF-A8. (standard fans will be included)I'd prefer to keep this EU only as shipping is going to be a pain. -
Haven't tried it myself. There is an Ubuntu Hirsute based image running kernel 5.13.x available for download if you want to give it a spin.
-
Stable kernel for the Helios64 (rockchip64) is kernel 5.10, edge is kernel 5.13.
-
Finally managed to catch something. Had to reset the device after this:

Now that the Kobol team has pulled the plug, I doubt these issues will ever get fixed.
-
Seems risky to me to upgrade now: Bullseye support is coming but might take a few months.
I'll stick with Buster for now as I already have enough stability issues. -
I might have missed something but it looks to me like voltage tweaks are no longer required according to gprovost's comment from March 10th.

I've had a secondary device connected to my Helios64 over serial for the last couple of months. Unfortunately, even at verbosity 7 it dies so suddenly that the output doesn't actually provide any valuable information:

This is what my uptime looks like over the last 90 days. Again, none of the reboots were triggered by me.
Reboots wouldn't be such a pain the backside on their own if 90% of them didn't retrigger a mdadm RAID resync...
-
Strange that the website doesn't display properly for you. You might have a rogue extension installed.
Here's a screenshot of installation step number 7, which is the step that takes care of fans.
-
Helios64 assembly instructions have you mount the fans as to pull fresh air trough the front grill: https://wiki.kobol.io/helios64/kit/#step-7-install-back-panel
-
Had the issue happen semi-regularly to my Helios as well. Same "gibberish" saved to ArmbianEnv.txt as in your example.
Haven't been able to figure out where the issue comes from unfortunately.
-
Good shout, my Helios64 is unfortunately in a location where I can't easily plug in another computer to get serial access. Might try to dig out an old RPi...
-
This is what my uptime looks like. OMV5, plex and r/rutorrent with 5 12TB WDC disks (LVM).
None of these reboots were triggered by me...
Wish I could find were the problem lies, can't read the logs for debugging as the reboot is so abrupt that nothing gets written to disk.
-
Nicely done. Corruption of the armbianEnv.txt file is one of the remaining nagging issues on the Helios64.
I suspect it is linked to the system instability but I've not been able to pinpoint the exact issue so far.
-
Can you try to boot from the SD card again, mount the eMMC and edit the /boot/armbianEnv.txt to increase verbosity (defaults to 1 which means less verbose, maximum value is 7).
Please then post the logs.
-
I've already asked the question on Twitter but I'll ask here as Twitter might not be everyone's cup of tea:
QuoteI wonder what the rationale is for going with the 4-core RK3568 and still limited to 4GB of RAM instead of the 8-core RK3588 that can support up to 32GB of RAM.
-
Try and restart your Helios64 while connected to it via serial, you should then see the boot logs.
If you need to increase verbosity of said logs, edit your armbianEnv.txt to contain the following:
armbianEnv.txt
Report back with the logs.
Hope this helps. -
Try kernel 5.10.16, that seems to fix most of the stability issues for me compared to 5.10.12.

@slymanjojo Is your install on microSD card or eMMC ?
My system is on a microSD card as armbian-config never managed to configure the eMMC correctly (never took the time to debug the issue unfortunately).
My system did crash at some point while I was at work today but no logs have a trace of the crash. System just froze, solid blue 'System' LED.
I'll probably downgrade to an earlier kernel... -
SOLVED!!!
Of course this was due to armbianEnv.txt being corrupt. Restoring the file from backups allows the device to boot cleanly again. -
Just applied the latest update to my Helios64, here is what apt reported:

The blue 'System' LED is on but doesn't blink. What can I do to help debug/fix this? -
No, don't need to perform fix if you're only ever going to use the 1Gbps interface AFAIK.
-
I've been running into the same issue for about a week or two, haven't had the time to dig into it though.
armbian-config says the "Boot from eMMC - System on eMMC" step went fine but device won't boot after that. Haven't hooked a serial cable to it to see where it fails.

From the wiki:

[Selling] Helios64
in Rockchip
Posted
Hello,
I wasn't clear enough indeed: I'm selling my Helios64 and am gauging interest on here before I put ut up for sale on /r/homelabsales and the likes.
Drop me a DM and we'll talk
