    Don't know, I never experienced such issue with either FAT or NTFS partitions

    ok got it working by plugging the SD card into one of my 'already working' boxes initially, letting it resize the partition, then back to the PC to copy the image onto........bizarre

    right got too many boxes now....x3....lol.....I found they are really good for running adguard dns in a docker container......

    anyone else running any interesting/docker stuff?

    cheers

    hi folks, any idea why the MULTITOOL partition on SD keeps getting 'corrupted'? ie I can boot the TV box, the partition gets resized but then becomes 'inaccessible'.......error 'failed to mount' when plugged back into PC

    I've used this procedure fine before but bagged another cheapo box.....this problem is doing my nut in lol...tried different PC, different card......

    hi folks, I've ended up with a difference of opinion with my 2 boxes somehow lol

    how do I change from 'untested automated build' to 'community creations' and vice versa?

    tried armbian-config and it doesn't seem to do anything....cheers

    Exhibits:

    BOX1 - this is an RK3318

    Welcome to Armbian 23.11.0-trunk.41 Bookworm with Linux 6.5.2-edge-rockchip64

    No end-user support: untested automated build
    BOX2 - this is an RK3328 - a H96 Max+

    Welcome to Armbian 23.8.1 Bookworm with Linux 6.4.13-edge-rockchip64

    No end-user support: community creations

    ok so I played with my RK3318 box yesterday...

    first I switched to 'beta repository' in armbian-config and ended up with 6.4.13-edge-rockchip64

    then I updated to bookworm.....all good

    today I changed the sources.list.d as I noticed docker was still pointing at bullseye

    after an update I ended up with:

    Welcome to Armbian 23.11.0-trunk.15 Bullseye with Linux 6.1.51-current-rockchip64

    it was on trunk.7 yesterday but can't recall if that said Bullseye or Bookworm, doh

    I went back into armbian-config, changed to stable build, back to beta build but it's still on 6.1.51

    any way to get back to 6.4.13?

    not urgent, it's more for learning as much as anything else :)

    thanks

    EDIT: update next day.....back to working, must have been a glitch in the matrix :mellow:

    hi guys, I see that this has been merged with mainline now....

    so I did an apt update and upgrade and I'm now on kernel 5.19.5 ( i think it did about 35 packages) BUT should I be putting these packages on 'unhold' now to get rid of this message? cheers

    ------

    2 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.
    root@rk3318:~# apt list --upgradable
    Listing... Done
    linux-dtb-current-rockchip64/bullseye 22.05.4 arm64 [upgradable from: 22.05.0-trunk]
    linux-image-current-rockchip64/bullseye 22.05.4 arm64 [upgradable from: 22.05.0-trunk]

    can't spell durrr

    hi guys, hope you're all having a great time :D

    thank again to @jockfor this great software, I've now got a HK1 max and a H96max+ working and I want to set up a couple of servers with some USB sticks to backup and dump data to....just using NFS shares cos I'm a linux user :thumbup:

    the H96max+ box doesn't appear keen on an intenso stick formatted with ext4....I've just got the round HK1 max to mount one of my sticks formatted with exfat

    is there a recommendation for what format to use?

    cheers

    I use dockers extensively on my unRAID server.

    On a box like this, what environment are you running the dockers in?

    I mean, what's the process for doing from 'bare metal' to running Docker? I'd be very interested in hearing about this... :)

    easy peasy!

    ie

    apt install docker.io apparmor

    docker pull adguard/adguardhome:beta

    docker run blah blah

    eg https://hub.docker.com/r/adguard/adguardhome

    have fun!

    edit: to add a bit more...

    with docker you download images then you 'create a container' which you then just stop/start

    so ie I've just created a jellyfin container with

    docker pull hotio/jellyfin:release

    docker run --rm \ --name jellyfin \ -p 8096:8096 \ -e PUID=1000 \ -e PGID=1000 \ -e UMASK=002 \ -e TZ="Etc/UTC"  \ hotio/jellyfin

    now I just point a browser to ip:8096

    keep a list of useful docker commands like

    docker images

    docker rmi <image name> (to remove an image)

    docker ps -a (to list your containers)

    docker rm <container>

    docker stop/start <container>

    many thanks to @jockand other devs for this build!

    just bought a used HK1 Max (the round one) for less than 20 yuros delivered after reading jock's recommendation; the 'conversion' couldn't have been easier!

    if anyone is still wondering what to do with these, get familiar with docker....the way you can just download images and then spin up containers is crazy simple

    ie I've got a beta Adguard home running, been messing with Plex (which has got far too bloaty for my likes lol) so next on the list is having a go with jellyfin

    I had a go with yunohost but to my mind the docker way is the future.....you just create and destroy containers at will and it's not messing with the rest of your config!

    PS the device I got has 4gb! 4/32 for less than 20€!! at least the central bank induced inflation hasn't hit tv boxes yet :lol:

    Anyone have any ideas?

    I'm in the same boat with too much hardware......I took an old AMD mb with a half decent cpu, bought a gb SSD and built a bitcoin node......check out runcitadel on twatter

    I also run homeassistant on an odroid c2.....features I like:

    talks to some cheap bluetooth temp monitors scattered around the house...here the temps can be high in the summer and low in the winter so that keeps me amused

    runs adguard and I recently learnt about running dot and/or doh ie secure dns.......something I read recently said you don't really need a vpn with secure dns, not convinced, I dl stuff from tpb still using transmission...

    also wireguard is very interesting, mainly cos of the speed which makes openvpn redundent....

    opensource routers are very interesting too, mainly cos governments are using convid as a power grab and I don't want to be beholden to some corporate shysters who are in the bed with them and want to track my every move and oppress me :(

    I have used my box as a mini router, just editing some parameter in sysctl.conf for preventing strange result in overhead and interrupts. It's good to use it for home proposal.
    The only problem is integrated 100M ethernet that is slow. An usb 3.0 gigabit ethernet adapter, is a solution, but i noted that it is not fully working in the 5.14 kernel.

    I've been messing with openwrt on a BT router, as in UK sourced......I wish I hadn't bothered, the internet went down from about 98mb to 65mb......probs cos the useless POS kept losing the connection and the ISP did something :wacko:

    Now I'm back with the Orange SA router (vive la France :thumbup:) and I wish I'd never bothered lol

    although I think something like this https://www.dfrobot.com/product-2242.html is an interesting solution for a router

    @mkultra

    you must give the right path
    e.g. rkdeveloptool db /home/mickeymouse/miniloaderall.bin acodrlying where you have your miniloader

     

    cheers but no difference, same error

    edit: the only slight change I had to do was this cos the program wouldn't compile at first:

    Edit the main.cpp line 1491 from
    static inline uint32_t convertChipType(const char* chip) {
    char buffer[5];
    memset(buffer, 0, sizeof(buffer));
    to
    static inline uint32_t convertChipType(const char* chip) {
    char buffer[558];
    memset(buffer, 0, sizeof(buffer));
    No more error.

    making a bit of progress lol

    It goes into 'mask mode' without shorting anything.....just toothpick and diy bodged male to male USB cable in the USB2 port

    Bus 005 Device 008: ID 2207:320c Fuzhou Rockchip Electronics Company RK3328 in Mask ROM mode
    BUT when I try and flash I get an error that I can't solve at the mo :(

    sudo ./flash_tool.sh -c rk3328 -p system -i image/image.zip
    PARTITIONS OFFSET: 0 sectors.
    The device does not support this operation!
