I backuped the boot dir. So I don't need booting from Sd-card, armbian-install will format emmc and copy from where the boot dir? Afterward it moves the system to emmc. If I am running armbian-config there's a message "Warning: The current OS (bookworm) is not supported or not listed" it's the latest version "Armbian 21.02.1 stable 6.12.32-current-rockchip64 (Debian bookworm)" apt-get install armbian-config armbian-config is already the newest version (25.8.0-trunk.330.0708.120916) I can't see any option to install/update system

Dear Werner, I am booting without a sd-card and can use armbian-install with just an option transfering system from ssd to emmc and emmc won't be formatted? Which option should I chose? boot frm emmc / system on emmc? https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#how-to-install-to-emmc-nand-sata-usb Armbian Installer support those storage scenarios: boot from SD, system on SATA / USB boot from eMMC / NAND, system on eMMC/NAND boot from eMMC / NAND, system on SATA / USB / NVME Boot from SPI - system on SATA, USB or NVMe Install/Update the bootloader on SD/eMMC Install/Update the bootloader on special eMMC partition Install/Update the bootloader on SPI Flash Install system to UEFI disk thank you for clarification!

Actual booting from eMMC and system including OMV from Sata SSD. Running boot & system from eMMC should be possible now and I would like to transfer system from SSD to eMMC without losing my config and starting from scratch again. That way I'll have a sdd beside the hdd for OMV. How can I manually transfer the system including OMV from SSD to eMMC and what configuration files need to be altered?

I could solve the instability problems and I am using the 2.5Gbit port now without having errors and with full speed! changing the swich Flow Control On for 2.5Gbit devices ethtool -K <LAN-device> sg off sudo ip link set dev <LAN device> mtu 9000 using the actual dtb file posted above cp rk3399-kobol-helios64.dtb /boot/dtb/rockchip/ update-initramfs -u nano /etc/default/cpufrequtils ENABLE=true MIN_SPEED=600000 MAX_SPEED=1800000 GOVERNOR=ondemand nano /etc/rc.local for cpufreqpolicy in 0 4 ; do echo 1 > policy${cpufreqpolicy}/ondemand/io_is_busy echo 25 > policy${cpufreqpolicy}/ondemand/up_threshold echo 10 > policy${cpufreqpolicy}/ondemand/sampling_down_factor echo $(cat policy${cpufreqpolicy}/cpuinfo_transition_latency) > policy${cpufreqpolicy}/ondemand/sampling_rate done for i in $(awk -F":" "/ahci/ {print \$1}" < /proc/interrupts | sed 's/\ //g'); do echo 10 > /proc/irq/$i/smp_affinity done for i in $(awk -F":" "/xhci/ {print \$1}" < /proc/interrupts | sed 's/\ //g'); do echo 20 > /proc/irq/$i/smp_affinity done exit 0 nano /usr/local/bin/make_nas_processes_faster.sh #!/bin/sh -e for i in `pgrep "iperf3|smb"` ; do ionice -c1 -p $i ; taskset -c -p 4 $i; done # >/dev/null 2>&1 running as a service

Is there a way to copy the system from sda1 [M2-Sata SSD (2280)] to emmc (uboot) from the running system without losing the configuration? If it's possible, how can I do this including configuring the changes? What is the maximum size for the M2-Sata SSD (2280)? https://wiki.kobol.io/helios64/m2/

tested sd card: No difference iperf3 from client to Helios around 20mb/s I tested another local 2.5Gbit transfer client (arch arm) - server (armbian) 2.34Gbit/s (292mbit/s) and reverse 326mbit/s (40mb/s) Maybe a setup problem with the switch or with arm-arch client drivers Nevertheless thank you for your help! ;)

I switched back to actual kernel 6.12.22 and if I need to transfer from NAS to Client I'll just use another LAN-cable with 1Gbit and have around 100mb/s And you are right, installing a new image would be the best. But configering OMV again and can't use a simple settings-backup is a nightmare for me I upgraded from Debian11 to 12 (Bullseye) and the upgrading process worked without issues, but maybe that upgrading could bring up the speed issue. sudo ethtool -i end1 Cannot get driver information: No such device In /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/ are all firmware versions... Is ther anything I need to fix?

After shutdown client, Nas, switch I tested the NAS with the downgraded kernel 6.6.87. Using the dtb for 6.6 from here https://forum.armbian.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=13745&key=de08de7cf5b1684faa2f41605ea19a5f Including your optimizations here /etc/rc.local -> done No difference! Speed from NAS to client remains at 200Mbit/s! :( armbian-hardware-optimization is disabled on your system -> how do i do this? make_nas_processes_faster.sh "if iperf3 tests are performed or if helios64 is mounted as a remote drive I call the following script that assigns a big core and a preferred" -> I copied the script to /usr/local/bin/make_nas_processes_faster.sh but how should it'll be started? ./make_nas_processes_faster.sh pgrep: pattern that searches for process name longer than 15 characters will result in zero matches Try `pgrep -f' option to match against the complete command line. Anything I can try?

Dear ebin-dev, I downgraded, got an error concerning linux-headers-current-rockchip64, could solve it with sudo apt --fix-broken install, but hesitating to reboot if I am not shure if the downgrade was 100% sucessful Is there any possibility to check before reboot if anything is well and system will reboot sucessful? sudo dpkg -i linux-* dpkg: warning: downgrading linux-dtb-current-rockchip64 from 25.2.3 to 24.11.0-trunk (Reading database ... 52529 files and directories currently installed.)

Dear ebin-dev, the rtl_nic firmware from your link are already in /lib/firmware/rtl_nic - anything I should do? the modified dtb for 6.12 are installed already in march - without any changes. Your suggestion should be to downgrade the kernel, but how can I downgrade from actual kernel 6.12.x to your recommended deb-package 6.6.87 without getting into trouble and how I should disable kernel updates?

Today I did also the hardware fix for the 2.5Gbit Port & I can confirm nothing changed concerning the speed: Helios64 -> client around 200Mbit/s Client -> Helios64 2.35Gbit/s but unstable connection compared to 1Gbit Port, the transfer drops The switch monitoring indicates now 1 error. My Conclusion for 2.5Gbit Port: Not usable at all!

If I transfer from Helios64 2.5Gbit Port to a client 2.5Gbit port I'll got a very slow transfer rate (Helios -> client around 200Mbit/s), vice versa full speed, switch is 2.5Gbit (Rj45 ethernet Cat7 cable).Testet with iperf. The switch monitoring indicates always 2 errors. I know about the Hardware issue of Lan-Port2, but it only effect 1Gbit transfer. Nevertheless in the Network are also mixed with 1Gbit clients. Is there anything I'll can try to get full 2.5Gbit speed?

Hello thank you for your efforts, it's very kind from you! I bought an adapter and a Molex PicoBlade with two red and black wire and soldered that to the adapter. The fan works well, but it's only active if the cpu temperature gets up I think 50 degrees Celsius blue (PWM) to (1) and black (GND) to (2) to the two-pin connector It's safer to change this to Yellow +5V -> fan 5V pin1 (Black - GND -> fan pin2) And the fan wouldn't be active all the time and only if the cpu temperature raises to 50 degrees?

I think the easiest way should be just using an external NVMe-Drive and cloning the USB-drive from a X64-PC/Laptop. The other way could be to flash a different boatloader with UEFI-support, but I couldn't find any stable U-Boot.

Thank you going! Yes, I would prefer the 2pin fan connector, but I need to find out getting the right adapter from 4pin Noctua NF-A4x10 5V (black & blue wire to the left & right) to Molex PicoBlade 2pin connector

Thank you for your efforts royk! Sorry, I mention the Opi5 Plus and this is the correct 40pin table (page 233 actual manual) Can someone please help to find the best connection for a 4 Pin PWM Fan (NF-A4x10 5V) to the 40pin interface? Yellow +5V -> 5V -> pin2 or pin4 Black - GND -> pin6 ???? Blue PWM Signal -> pin7 (GPIO_D6 / PWM14_M2 febf0020)

Can someone please help to find the right connection for a 4 Pin PWM Fan (NF-A4x10 5V) to the 40pin interface? Yellow +5V -> 5V -> 1. pin right side Black - GND -> 3rd pin right side Blue PWM Signal -> 6. pin left side GIO04_B2 PWM14_M1 How does I configure wiringOP in this case? Best wishes Greg

Does the Opi5 Plus provide more than 60Hz in 1080p with HDMI 2.1 or USB-C Alt DP-Mode? Is there any possibility to make an image backup of you system (NVme SSD) i.e. CloneZilla Arm64 booting? Are there bootloader images who support USB-Booting? Best wishes Greg

Dear Forum, I am using a Helios64 with armbian Debian 10 (Buster) Linux-Kernel 5.15.52 and OMV 5.6.26-1. If I want to have further Updates from OMV I need to upgrade to Debian 11, because OMV6 isn't compatible to Buster. Any recomendations how I should upgrade? The H64-System is on a SDD. Should I try a cli system upgrade or installing everything new with a bullseye image, if this is available (Where?)? Best wishes, Greg
