Digital Signage Player, based on Webbrowser, WordPress, LAMP - using archlinux|ARM. Sounds cool and as it has been tested on Raspberry Pi 3B, I guess it should easily run on any mainline Kernel supported SBC beautiful step-by-step setup. Quite funny is the name of the repository for german speakers: https://github.com/boschkundendienst/raspisignage this means: BOSCH customer service ... while his avatar is not Edit, link to the images: http://os.archlinuxarm.org/os/

Which is making an internet connection necessary. Your current update including the icon is my preferred method. As mentioned before I would look for SVG as this scales smoothly. I stopped looking for icons of SVG because of your comment before. - any changes on your side? You have edited my suggestion (PR) for the ReadME.md and removed the installation procedure I put there. To simulate my initial situation on Ubuntu Mate 18.04.4 I did remove: sudo apt-get remove sshpass iperf3 jq The test is running twice, my root user credentials are given. My phone is laying around bluetooth enabled, WiFi on the router is on - Rock Pi 4B. I got 2x Syntax error and 1x [ err. ] Wrong sources were installed plus the missing software `dpkg -l sshpass git iperf3 jq`

I installed it and let everything as it is. Two things I don't like: 1a. To start flashing or writing, the button says in german: Ausschreiben (terrible translation), just 'Schreiben' would be much better 1b. When it finished it says. Done. Picture (Bild) written successfully instead of 'Abbild'. I wonder if a human did the translation. 2. It doesn't remember the window size. It is good it starts small, but I have 24" and I like to see the path-to-the-folder I am about to write. It lists the right devices: I attached an USB-Stick and an SDcard and only these two I was able to choose And finally, it wrote the Kubuntu 20.04 2,3Gb within 1 min and this inlcudes the writing-verification to my understanding 2300/60 = 38MB/s Aside from being fast, Zero-Load on the CPU In opposite to Etcher, it is not ejected at the end of the process. Well, if USBImager ensures proper termination of the process it shouldn't harm if the user unplugs it before ejecting it.

straight to the point: The ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore is a 32-bit processor core - did you buy the wrong SBC for your project? Or you help them (Mayan) to port it to 32-bit, as they ask for in the gitlab link provided by Igor - so everybody gets a solution not only armbian.

IS ANYBODY OUT THERE ??? I have improved the How To, Igor improved the Tool even more. Will you please give it a chance and test your Single-Board-Computer (SBC) - who doesn't like to test and tinker ;). If you depend on your installation do a backup of your SDcard first and then, please give it a try: https://github.com/armbian/autotests Report back here or on github if bad or good. If good even more, who doesn't like to hear it works well. Thank you

I learned about Etcher and the writing verification from TK and since I still use: etcher-1.2.1-x86_64.AppImage based on their release page in the year 2017. I will now start to use/test USBimager, I read the manual and it sounds just good. I hope you help us testing too?

because u joined armbian after we got everybody to use writing verification? // sent from mobile phone //

Hi @Igor, before I sent my PR I was searching the files for mhz & ghz but couldn't find it. So, my PR only contains the readme.md

Ubuntu's Icon set: https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru Gnome's Icon set: https://www.gnome-look.org/browse/cat/132/order/latest/ Some "Free" ones: https://www.freeicons.io/ https://www.flaticon.com/search/2?author_id=141

Honestly, I don't know what else is available with writing & verification, but studying the readme reveals that this tool is so small cause it uses standard tools: https://gitlab.com/bztsrc/usbimager#authors which is something I like. And it is written in C https://gitlab.com/bztsrc/usbimager/-/blob/master/src/main_x11.c so it should small and fast. However, before we get to excited - we need to test it, test it and test it. Favorably on Linux (it offers a .deb), Windows and Mac. So, please go to the website download it https://gitlab.com/bztsrc/usbimager/-/releases and DO NOT FORGET TO SET THE TICK ON: Verify. Please report back about your experience with it. Let's go and get it Edit: PS: nice Preface in the documentation

This would make it comfortable, on the other hand, that makes it running unnecessarly as sudo, each time. I would rather do the install once and thats it. Unless you come up with an idea I am not creative enough with your bash-magic

I would change 'drive' to storage. And adding something like read/write Maybe in the same moment Mhz to MHz Ghz GHz ICONS: should it be SVG so it would scale on displays with high resolution? Spent the morning writing this (pasted it in markdown), if this is fine with you I can try a pull request

@Igor, while collecting data to enhance the ReadMe - I found this: A re-run will delete the previous results - move files to a archive folder? Creating manually an archive-folder inside 'logs' will erase it toghether with all the files. Another idea, add a time stamp column and amend the new file/results to the old results. for the ones who want to try: Prepare your system To run the bash-scripts you need 4 small softwares, check if they are already installed on your PC: dpkg -l sshpass git iperf3 jq If the result shows 'ii' at the begin of the line, you have it installed. If dpkg-query: returns with: not found, you can quickly install these small programs: sudo apt-get install sshpass git iperf3 jq

Hi, A small discussion started here, but I would like to lift it to here. The question and tests should be. Are there alternatives to Etcher? A must was - standard writing verification. IIRC this was back in the days an option you had to set a 'tick' on Win32 DiskImager.. and so not an option. Before we change anything - proper testing and writing down the steps to achieve a great result is a must. Multiplatform, would be nice, but we can as well recommend 2 or 3 SDcard writing programs. Can you please help to write a table of available programs (you can do a table in the forum, but consider quantity of lines & rows first). And whether or not the software is an equivalent replacement for armbian? Please help us to collect here your knowledge and expericence Of course your recommendation should support the minimum mentioned above - otherwise it is not a recommendation but Spam Thank you in advance for your participation on this challenge

I thought so. In the event I have already done it, could I fix this by adding the password and username I have already given? like: USER_ROOT="root" PASS_ROOT="password I chose before" USER_NORMAL="username I chose" PASS_NORMAL="again Passowrd I chose" NAME_NORMAL="name I chose" ROOM_NORMAL="Red" WORKPHONE_NORMAL="" HOMEPHONE_NORMAL="" OTHER_NORMAL="" or could I delete a certain file, execute a command to return to the state 'nothing' ?

You are already ahead of me. Shall I do a first login, change the password, create a user or not?

smart move, I like that. To improve the How To: After flashing the SDcard. Put the SDcard into the SBC, starting the SBC, waiting until the device has booted.

#me too ... soon after the power connector died https://forum.armbian.com/topic/6909-pi-factor-power-solution/?tab=comments#comment-52516 But some day I will amend the power-HAT from @TonyMac32 cut out the middle part in KiCAD and see if I can get it manufactured in China. So this great board, with the gorgeous heat sink gets back to live :-D

Well, you asked I only answered. I was just testing the script - two things weren't easy to begin with why do I need to: set test subnet or IP address(s) (is this the counterpart Network-Device to test?) - I have DHCP so I tried without.. $HOST not defined. Exiting. Bluetooth MAC-Address: Android, I looked first in the device pairing section - nothing. Then a lucky strike, in the settings/ about my phone I found it. I think it would be valuable to add this, in the config file and README.md. I am still a noob on Github.

With the board from @Hijax or what does it look like? Different Symbol, for: not working / not applicable/available on the board would be nice. // sent from mobile phone //

I think they are a bit 'overkill' and quite expensive. See the answer below. Means, unless you want to run at maximum all the time, a cheap heat sink should do the job. I guess this is correct and IIRC with the idea in mind helping to spread the heat (increase the surface of the SoC) for short high load. With the idea to have sane settings to throttle the SoC and keep the temperature on a healthy level software wise.

I got a pack of these: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2031287967.html USD 2.99.- (8 pieces/lot) back in 2017

u r welcome. I did this a lot for others, back in the days and left the edit note: pls do thst urself next time

edit your post, drag and drop the code block into the spoiler. As I already wrote // sent from mobile phone //
