[Does anyone actually have a stable system?]

Solid as a rock. Running omv and a bunch of containers.

[OMV Issues]

Don't feel frustrated and inadequate. Computer things may look too scary and overwhelming but often that's the only problem. If you do not have time to invest or the funds for proper hardware (I mean Tenda.) there is always the option for hiring one of the "fan boys" to setup your system.

I'm pretty sure you will be able to sell it plenty of people in germany would like to get it of your hands.

If you, like myself, installed on eMMC and are experiencing the crashes on 20.08.14 - I booted up via a 20.08.10 sdcard and fixed the environment on emmc

 

 

@aprayoga It's probably unrelated, but while working through the above I noticed that I ran out of space on /boot.

I installed to eMMC the first version that was working, if that helps. I chose f2fs when I installed on eMMAC and this is the resulting partition layout

mmcblk1      179:32   0 14.6G  0 disk 
├─mmcblk1p1  179:33   0   96M  0 part
└─mmcblk1p2  179:34   0 14.3G  0 part
mmcblk1boot0 179:64   0    4M  1 disk 
mmcblk1boot1 179:96   0    4M  1 disk

Sadly I didn't grab enough info from what was in the boot partition before I nuked it and reinstalled the appropriate packages.

 

 

I choose ext4 resulting in this :

mmcblk1      179:32   0  14.6G  0 disk  
└─mmcblk1p1  179:33   0  14.4G  0 part  
mmcblk1boot0 179:64   0     4M  1 disk  
mmcblk1boot1 179:96   0     4M  1 disk

The LED brightness is not adjustable. You would need to use semi transparent plastic/tape to reduce the brightness, or change the resistor on front panel board.

 

 

 

10x for the answer - I was actually trying to turn them off completely, but only the blue status light and keeping them going to red on errors etc.

My only concern now is the CPU temperature. It sometimes runs up to around 65-70 C. I got a spare 2-pin cpu fan that I bought for my Raspberry Pi 4 and I think it could be installed onto the Helios64's heatsink. I just have to figure out where should the two power pins be put onto.

 

CPU temp: 45°C on average for me. 5 WD disks inside omv and few containers running

As soon as my copy of my backup to my new RAID5 is finished I will update and test the part with the eMMC right away!

 

edit:

Perfect, the update went through cleanly and installing/booting from eMMC now works without problems.

Controlling the LEDs.

 

Hello, I am looking for the proper way to control the LEDs. (box facing front next to the TV etc.)

Operating System: Armbian 20.08.9 Buster
Kernel: Linux 5.8.13-rockchip64

 

What I get is :

 

root@helios64:/# echo "0" > /sys/devices/platform/io-gpio-leds/leds/helios64:blue:hdd-status/max_brightness
-bash: /sys/devices/platform/io-gpio-leds/leds/helios64:blue:hdd-status/max_brightness: Permission denied
