I looked at that part again, did you make every step, every?
I am also asking you to delete files.
by standard armbian keeps two hostapd files for different devices. We will now remove all these files and create a new one:
cd /etc/
rm hostap* it will only remove the .conf file, not the directory.
nano /etc/default/hostapd
activate the daemon, set the absolute path to your hostapd configuration
DAEMON_CONF="/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf" # point to configuration file
You change the path to your new .conf file: nano /etc/init.d/hostapd
DAEMON_CONF=/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
In this step you create the hostapd.conf file
nano /etc/hostapd/hostapd.confwhen you stop the hostapd, you can run this:
check your config file: hostapd-rt -dd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
-
here you find some more findings about the R1
-
Well, the tutorial is for the excact version of armbian 3.4 Kernel - hostapd and kernel can drive you crazy.
This is the reason that I gave up on Bananian 15.08, I spent a couple hours but it would not work - so I gave up.
However, please comment the part in the document where you expect some error, I will check this.
Thx for coming back with your findings.
-
careful Igor, he has
ht_capab= all to 40, if he didn't change some code before compilation of hostapd, it can get some error.
You find the explanation in my manual in the hostapd.conf, cannot remember the details.
A good question about power, Philipp - do you have a HDD or SSD already attached to the R1 ?
-
This is the reason I blocked the update function for the kernel - it will work just like this :-) , may be you could have get it up and running just as it was written and then use the automatic Kernel update?
Your configuration file looks like a little bit of a mix of all available.
If you go in my manual to hostapd, at the end there are some check commands:
- Stopp hostapd service
- hostapd -vv .... (I cannot remember the excat command you will find it)
You will now see some lines flying by...
The output will be rather long, you can use "Special BBcode" button then 'spoiler' to paste it here.

I just googled, may be this helps you.
scroll down to this answer:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/122113/copy-to-usb-memory-stick-really-slow
Found the fix all i did was unmount, remove drive, and run sudo modprobe ehci_hcd in the Terminal. Insert drive and agian sudo modprobe ehci_hcd when I put the drive in and wow 20/mbs thought i would share. Hope I dont have to do it every time... but it's not to hard...

Which image / kernel do you have installed
uname -a
Have you stopped transmission and set the chache to 12MB and restarted? -
hmm, I have the Banana R1 = A20 SoC with SATA and relatively fast Network.
If you want to spend less you get the same with Banana Pi.
I ordered on eBay a HDD 750GB (which was never used, Laptop upgrade to SSD) for this I spent about € 30.-
The Banana comes with a lot of RAM so I have set Transmission to 12 MB
-
The boards (bought an OPC and a one).
With which Kernel did you run these devices while testing?
Did you install RPi-Monitor or how did you collect the data about storage speed?
Transmission-Daemon with Webinterface - this just out of curiosity?

I meant what I wrote: SoC. It's basically the same crappy SoC than on the first SBC they sold
to repeat wrong information does not make it correct.
There are two questionmarks written by me, one you answered, the other I answered by my self, "this is quite obviously".
WTF, should I care about 8b10b - does it change the number by factor 10? If not I give a BS about it I just want to have +- figure in MB.
(symbol Mbit/s or Mb/s, often abbreviated "Mbps") the / is missing I give you that, but based on the calculation you should actually understand it anyway.
a specific ARM generation dictates maximum RAM (it's the VideoCore GPU/VPU that is not able to initialise more than 1 GB)
Again wrong. What I was refering to is the fact that with 32-Bit you can easily address RAM upto 3 or 4 GB, no need for 64-bit.
If you had listen to the podcast I recommended you - you already knew that it is not their intention to do so (more than1GB & Aarch64).
-
Raspberry 3? Pretty easy: It's the same SoC as on the 1st RPis from 4 years ago
Such BS - did you mean SBC ?
Here is the table incl. SoC architecture
RPi was ARM11 v6 were as RPi 2 is v7 and the RPi 3 A53
Everybody knew, that Ubuntu doesn't run on RPi 1 because this architecture was not supported, but why does nowadays Ubuntu Mate run on RPi 2 ?
ARM v7
ARM v7 32-bit which is enough for 1GB RAM
USB2.0 = 480 Mbits / 8 = 60MB/sec sufficient to support the 100 Mbits ethernet port, as long as I/O is not an issue.
This is a tinkerer device, not a multimedia System, not a NAS or anything else with high load.

I have a question concerning replacing this unit, the "MT5572 wifi-modul wl-um01ebs-5572-v 1. 0 27*17.7mm usb 2.0" comes with Band(s): 2.4GHz, 5GHz.
Is there also a working solution (preferably tested) that comes additionally with Bluetooth ?
-
Hi Jacob,
Well, in my signature you see the basic setup.
I have also:
- RPi-Monitor
- LAMP
- mini Webmin
- Dyn DNS @ afraid.org (and batch file that works finally
) - CSF Firewall
- Textpattern (for Website)
- Transmission-daemon (BitTorrent client) (that was also kind of difficult)
-
Hi Lothar,
Since the invention of GUID Partition Table (GPT) you no longer need extended and logical partitions
So I would delete the current PT and create a new /fresh Partition Table GPT. I guess here you find all the tools you need.
I have at least 3 partitions, /root /swap and for data.

Thank you for a nice read before falling asleep, with a relaxing grin.
monolithic and others in your writing has been discussed a million times before and it will be in the future.
I could now give you some examples for these and that | pros & cons, but I guess you already know the answers.
In the Film Matrix he says, people don't like to live in a perfect world.
Just one thought, I setup a Linux PC with fast USB3 Stick and SSD in 4min, incl. all drivers and programs.
Beat me with Windows and Microkernel

Testing Orange Pi PC and Plus individually already makes no sense at all (same SoC, same settings --> same performance results to be expected) and publishing results that vary that much is alarming: either your benchmark must be wrong or the conditions or the tester.
Well, I didn't look at the device, but if the PCB design is better or worse (PC vs. Plus) it can influence the performance.
What I want to say, it can make sense to test both to see how they compare.
Beside, I protect Michael Larabel that he cannot have deep knowledge in every IT topic i.e. ARM.
Again, I didn't look but did you leave a comment on his website about ARM v7 / v8 and throttling - I guess you did.
So he can pickup from your knowledge and do it better next time.
However, considering how broad he is reporting about IT - it is impossible to tweak all the devices.
In conclusion, like on the website of SinoVoip people will believe in 8cores and 2GHz and buy the shit!
Shit happens
Thank you for this detailed posting, it will help beginners - if they see it before they purchase on Aliexpress
-
Small update or let's better say a quick look at the direct competition:
65x65mm in size, GBit Ethernet, 1 GB RAM, AP6212 WiFi/BT
The good news: Since we're already supporting H3 with Armbian only minor modifications should be necessary to support these 2 new boards when they're available.
If you want to see this M2+ powered with a coaxial power connector, watch the video.
I guess before they sell it, they will replace it with a high-quality MicroUSB connector *ironie*

I have tried the RPi 2 and the LeMaker, both don't show up on my old, but good display:
Fujitsu Siemens, SCENICVIEW P19-1S
Grafik-Darstellung (abhängig vom Grafikprozessor)
1280 x 1024
1024 x 768
800 x 600
640 x 480Textdarstellung (abhängig vom Grafikprozessor)
Pixel (max. 70 Hz)
720 x 400
Non of the resolution listed in your 'spoiler' shows a resolution of my display, have you experience if it does work anyway?
You made me curious and as my R1 is just behind the display, I connected it.And it showed the text-output
in squeezed 1920x1080 (as the onscreen display of the monitor says) but hey it was readable plus/minus. AWESOME -
On Kickstarter: PINE A64 is the world's first 64-bit expandable Quad Core 1.2Ghz
Why do you write: Pine64+ is this a new model?
HDMI-to-DVI - I have never tested my R1, but the AS s500 also suffers of this capability.
Maybe this feature is not implemented in the hardware? -
Hi,
Maybe you didn't come across this posting, LeMaker has now updated the Kernel for the GUITAR.
@TK, this message is not for you
-
Aha, I thought the A20's information about it is already reliable - good to know.
The OPi One is the answer to RPi Zero, so I just compared them on size and prize. I stay with my answers given in the threads above.
If you do IoT seriously, with quantity and maybe with SCADA and such - you better have standardized, reliable tools (SBCs).
If you just do some home automation, your approach is fine.
ToC (total cost of ownership) is not just based on purchasing.
I own an R1, LeMaker Guitar and a RPi 2 - I am not a collector.
What R1 is for, is clear.
Guitar and RPi I am uncertain, some Retro-Game console would be fun and or for music, maybe with display in conjunction of the R1.
My time given there is more than enough to do. So why would I care about every product out there, why?
Same for Linux Distro's, there are big ones, Fedora, SuSE, Ubuntu and 1000 more.
I run an Ubuntu derivate, because I know APT and such - and I am happy with this.How about you set up a list on your Website how many devices you already had or have had (SBCs) in the last 24 months.
And which of those were really good :-) (the very very short part of this list :-) )
-
around 10° sounds interesting, while booting my A20 gets pretty hot, above 80 and so I guess if a thread gets stuck it can heat up quite good.
Thank you for the tipp to find these.
I would also suspect if you try to buy 100 or more you can make a good deal
A good deal ?
In my daily live I am a senior purchaser and I would never buy more than 10-20 without knowing the manufacturer and their principles (i.e. child labour), plus without
guaranteed BOM, plus at least a couple pieces for free because of warranty return does not make sense.
And this list is not exhaustive.
All these parts are Toys. Maybe an Odroid or Olimex is different, but all the others I would not trust.
Probably with SinoVoip, with a contract, you can work something out, but the way we met them, no way (I speak for myself).

Ethernet works with kernel 3.4.x. Mainline driver for Ethernet in H3
But thx for mentioning heatsinks: I normally use one for A20 (20x20 mm). These fit on the PC but won't fit on the Orange Pi One due to placement of other components.
And it's simply a matter of the use case. For the project we're currently developing the One can always be used instead of the PC when only one USB port is needed
Most importantly: Would you use an SBC that is not capable of running Armbian?!
This is good to know as not everybody needs the latest kernel.
Heat Sink, can you tell how well your heat sink works on a A20, I mean how many degrees it does reduce the temperature?
This is what "I" meant; in order to take a OPi ONE over the OPi PC you have to have a really big quantity or no space, otherwise these $5.- do not really count
if you talk about 5-10 piece.
The major show Stopper, no armbian on RPi zero, but I have to admit that there are a couple nice mini distro's out there for the Pi.
I wonder how much longer it takes until really everything works as OSS for the RPi (beside the license key for HW decoding MPEG2 & VC1).
-
Thank you for your review and update on the current software development from the community.
My conclusion of this is, that the Orange Pi PC is the far better choice for only $5.- more, but without Ethernet-Driver kind of useless.
The OPi One may be smaller in size but same height as OPi PC, so the advantage of the RPi-Zero is not given here.
I wonder if Orange will sell again the A20 Model.
Did you attach the heat-sink or did they come with?
fatrace (file access trace)
in Off-topic
Posted
Hi,
I have heard in a podcast about: fatrace “file access traceâ€, not “fat raceâ€
fatrace: report system wide file access events
Part of our efforts to reduce power consumption is to identify processes which keep waking up the disk even when the computer is idle. This already resulted in a few bug reports (and some fixes, too), but we only really just began with this.
I cannot find it in the repositories of my: Armbian 4.2 3.4.108-banana
apt-cache search fatrace
apt-cache show fatrace
I was wondering if only I am interested in it or if it would be interesting to add it to the repository ?
Cheers
