  1. I think the idea is great, the implementation might be a challenge. I'd say: leave it to up to someone else as even if Armbian Staff isn't involved, potential issues might reflect bad on the Armbian project, especially coming from armbian.com. If the interest was really that high, there would already be a dedicated subreddit full of people selling SBCs. (/r/homelabsales might count)
  2. From the wiki: Source: https://wiki.kobol.io/helios64/sata/#sata-controller-diagram
  3. I've been running OMV on my Helios64 ever since it's been delivered, without issue (even on the older, buggy kernels). Could you share your logs (in a spoiler then code block works fine) or on a Pastebin-like service?
  4. I'd be delighted if the Helios64 gets hardware encoding/decoding as it would greatly increase perfomance when running Plex (or any media streaming service). I'll be following this thread closely and will be available for any testing or debugging.
  5. This is actually really smart. @gprovost could something along these lines be added to the default setup?
  6. I haven't done any particular testing of 20.11 but I've been running it since Wednesday 10:30AM (UTC+2) without any issues.
  7. 5.8.x had been running fine on my device for about 9 and a half days then randomly crashed. No logs seem to have survived the crash so this is going to be nearly impossible to debug.
  8. I'm also running kernel 5.8.17-rockchip64 and haven't encountered any such issues. Did you start out on 5.8.17 or did you upgrade from previous versions? Earlier versions of the kernel has severe stability issues and in such cases (had this happen to me as well) a clean install of the system helped.
  9. Sure thing! Here it goes: With the Noctua fans, this config makes the Helios64 silent most of the time while keeping SoC temperatures below 75C and HDD temperatures below 35C.
  10. Also running Noctua NF-A8 PWM for about a month now with "custom" fancontrol config. @gprovostis there a way for /etc/fancontrol not to be overwritten at every kernel update until the instructions to control fan speed based on HDD temperatures are live?
  11. Nice catch, that did the trick! Still have to figure out how to prevent updates to /etc/fancontrol then I'll be golden.
  12. Thanks a lot! Something's up though because that's exactly the APT source list I have as well. I've even checked the htop version to make sure: root@helios64:~# apt-cache policy htop htop: Installed: 3.1.0-0~armbian20.08.2+1 Candidate: 3.1.0-0~armbian20.08.2+1 Version table: *** 3.1.0-0~armbian20.08.2+1 500 500 http://apt.armbian.com buster/buster-utils arm64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.2.0-5~armbian20.08.14+1 500 500 http://apt.armbian.com buster/buster-utils arm64 Packages 2.2.0-5~armbian20.08.1+1 500 500 http://apt.armbian.com buster/buster-utils arm64 Packages 2.2.0-3~armbian5.92+1 500 500 http://apt.armbian.com buster/buster-utils arm64 Packages
  13. Weird, htop on my Helios doesn't seem to be the armbian version anymore: no temperature, no frequency. Could you please share your APT sources.list so I can check I didn't accidentally overwrite mine.

  15. Wait, this can't be right. That's a 30°C delta over the standard fan configuration :O
  16. @gprovostI'll do just that: I have a full SD Card backup of 5.8.13 around so I'll give that a spin. Quick question: as I'm not running the stock fans, is there a way for /etc/fancontrol not to be overwritten at every update?
  17. Managed to run armbian-config to downgrade to kernel version 5.8.14. Thought that would be good enough to fix it but now the device just hangs at "Starting kernel ..." Can't access it via SSH either. Here's the output of the serial console: EDIT: tried to fix the system via chroot, downgraded to kernel 5.8.13 but that's even worse as it just kernel panics on boot:
  18. Ouch, this is what I currently have: root@helios64:~# ls -la /etc/udev/rules.d/ total 32 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 21 15:43 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Aug 30 20:58 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8821 Sep 14 18:07 99-openmediavault-dev-disk-by-id.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1348 Jan 7 2020 99-openmediavault-md-raid.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1647 Jan 7 2020 99-openmediavault-nonrot.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1378 Jan 7 2020 99-openmediavault-scheduler.rules I can't downgrade using armbian-config because it exists as soon as I confirm I'm okay with the "risk". Is there a way for me to downgrade using apt? ( don't know the list op packages that need to be specified). If a downgrade isn't possible, can I reconfigure the ones currently installed? (again, don't know the package list) EDIT: after about 30 minutes, my Helios now reboots on it's own because of Kernel panic with the following logs: Even though subsequent serial console logs say that the kernel is starting, I can't access the device over SSH or serial anymore and have hard reset the device using the physical button.
  19. Managed to boot again. Adding fdtfile=rockchip/rk3399-kobol-helios64.dtb to boot/armbianEnv.txt wasn't enough as for some reason the dtb-5.8.16-rockchip64 directory in /boot had vanished from my system. I've still got some issues as fancontrol fails with the following error: The system gets quite hot as a result, for now I've temporarely hard coded some values in /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon*/pwm1. I also get the following logs in the serial console: Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? EDIT: I've also attached the console log files from boot:
  20. I've been booting from the SD ever since I setup my Helios64. From the logs, it seems I'm missing the .dtb file so I'll try and get my hand on it.
  21. Sadly, 20.03.13 / 5.8.16 completely broke my system. This is the error I see over serial: ### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ### Here's the full output:
  22. Just the standard Noctua NF-A8 PWM (Chromax.Black.swap because I'm a weeb :D). No dust filter for me yet: I think it might impede airflow too much but I'll see over time.
  23. 42°C for me with 5x12TB WD drives with OMV, Plex and rtorrent/rutorrent running. I did change the fans for Noctua ones and have tweaked fancontrol to suit the upgrade.
  24. Operating temperature for the Rockchip RK3399K SoC is -20°C~85°C. Don't know about the rest of your questions as I haven't taken my Helios apart (yet ;) ).
