Over at https://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=165    7 inch capacitive touch screen LCD 800x1280 (HD702)  $ 30.- plus shipping (around $ 9.-), instead of $ 65.-
Check Matrix for supported devices.
 

hmm, UUByte DMG Editor, does this software verify the flash process bit for bit, like USBimager does?
 
Defects, good point. There is a section in the Documentation how to check the SDcard for proper function.

This is a tag, not a prefix. I did not remove any existing tags. They just can no longer attached to existing or new topics.

Since 5.9 is ahead I'd suggest to focus on that since this will become next LTS kernel.

Currently, FFmpeg only supports HW decoding for rockchips, not encoding. Acceleration on mainline kernel is a work in progress, so I still recommend the legacy 4.4 kernel for video tasks.
 
 
You need the legacy kernel for these codecs to work. And, again, they are only for decoding.
 
If you want HW encoding, then you need to use gstreamer with the rockchip plugin.

Aaaaaaand it's out: https://www.armbian.com/newsflash/armbian-20-08-caple/

You explain nothing about that command - good for you to know exactly what it does.

And maybe take a course in how-to-choose-a-proper-topic-title

I soldered these to my PowerSupply, you could as well solder it to an USB-Connector... DC Power Plug Male Connector 4.0x1.7mm Male Socket With Cord Cable,DC pigtail 4.0/1.7mm /Free shipping/10PCS
US $6.64 / lot (10 pieces)  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1927392841.html
 
I didn't test them on "how many cycles" they last, but I like the sealed barrel. To solder the barrel was always the weak spot to me.

just lately I searched the forum about it.
There was a PR that fixed the bigger trouble we had.
However, I guess this automatic feature was built in in good faith, but I guess the script should ask/support the user like: You seem to live in TR, do want to set this as ur locale?
And if the user says no, give him the standard ncurser  selector.
What do u think  @igor?

No warranty. No support

Thanks for testing ! I guess we can include this patch in the next release, then.

Applied the patch, left the rk3288 with 5 hours of this:
 
it worked without an itch, dmesg was clean.

Sooo, I tried to fix the issue, using a 5.8-rc3 kernel... While the frequencies are back, there's some heavy glitches with Panfrost drivers and I don't know if that's due to kernel changes (entirely plausible) or if that's due to the patch.
I'll try test a 5.8-rc3 kernel without this patch, just to check who's the culprit.
 
Meanwhile, here's a patch that brings 500Mhz frequencies back for Mali GPU on RK3288 boards : https://gist.github.com/Miouyouyou/0dad9c4a321349166bbc9d49ffec315a
From 73258d32daf3a661281bb5c77c5e2e06c7ff714e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Miouyouyou (Myy)" <myy@miouyouyou.fr> Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2020 02:02:18 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] arm: dtsi: rk3288: add GPU 500 Mhz OPP again Undoing the very bizarre mainline kernel patch, 75481833c6dbab4c29d15452f6b4337c16f5407b which main purpose is to sync some 3.14 kernels hacks to mainline kernels, for reasons that only matter for a few Chromebooks, and shove it down the throat of every RK3288 user. If you need to avoid the GPU going to 500 Mhz on Chromebooks, remove the OPP entry inside the DTS that actually matters to RK3288 Chromebooks. Meanwhile, the 600 Mhz operating point can prove to be unstable on some RK3288 boards, while 500 Mhz works fine. https://forum.armbian.com/topic/13515-panfrost-on-rk3288-and-gpu-on-600mhz-problems/ Signed-off-by: Miouyouyou (Myy) <myy@miouyouyou.fr> --- arch/arm/boot/dts/rk3288.dtsi | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/arch/arm/boot/dts/rk3288.dtsi b/arch/arm/boot/dts/rk3288.dtsi index a66412547..ef7457f79 100644 --- a/arch/arm/boot/dts/rk3288.dtsi +++ b/arch/arm/boot/dts/rk3288.dtsi @@ -1312,6 +1312,10 @@ opp-400000000 { opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <400000000>; opp-microvolt = <1100000>; }; + opp-500000000 { + opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <500000000>; + opp-microvolt = <1200000>; + }; opp-600000000 { opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <600000000>; opp-microvolt = <1250000>; -- 2.27.0  

Will need to try this. And talk with @gprovost about it, regarding their time for helios4.
 
Lets discuss this in its own thread, as this is not coupled with 20.08 release. @Hijax and I are still testing / discussing this. Current plan is to order a few board (4) (assembled) from JLCPCB just for us to test. 

and just in case, but I guess Martin already solved your problem.
 
Within armbian you find following User-Supported options for GPIO and more:
ArmbianIO (sysFS) or
UserSpaceIO (libgpiod),
pyGPIO accesses 'pins' directly through /dev/mem

 ArmbianIO API - in C
https://forum.armbian.com/topic/5655-armbianio-api-proposal/
 
 User Space IO - is Python 3 and Java 8 bindings for user space GPIO, SPI, I2C, PWM and Serial interfaces

That said, I run the script on a Rock-Pi 4b:  Armbian buster with Linux 5.4.45-rockchip64
 
Why Python 2 ?

Script, if this step is done as a first step (not the install, but adding the repository),  apt update  would only be done once == quicker?

configration in Firefox was smooth, thank you @PittPC & @guidol 
root@rockpi-4b:~# timedatectl show -p TimeUSec --value Sun 2020-06-28 23:20:53 CEST I have added/plugged in the MemoryStick when was on the dialog site, it wouldn't refresh. So I went one step back, it lost the name of my NAS. One step forward it showed now the MemoryStick in the pulldown menu.
 
A good idea: Yes Collect Statistic Data
 
I would appreciate an information like: This is the last questionaire, an automatic reboot will be done for you to complete the configuration process.
Enable Cookies to login after the reboot with: administrator
 

 
When I install an App like NextCloud or Bitwarden. Is this from DEB, Docker or any other package format?
 
 
EDIT:  After the install of NextCloud, the webinterface was dead, after a reboot NC was available and it worked as expected.
 

Hi @guidol We figured it out, it had nothing to do with the networking but how it created volumes when using other devices other than HDDS like USB Sticks and mmc memory it would not detect them properly since we were using smartctl to scan for storage devices, now we have used a much better approach using lsblk to list all block devices. I noticed because of the screenshot at the top you sent me had garbled info under select disk. Please give SimpNAS one more shot of testing when you get time. Your testing is helping the project tremendously and we appreciate you!!

NOPE doesnt work....

I got a working network-configuration (static) via /etc/network/interfaces...

But the install-routine via web-interface is also asking for the complete network-configuration (cant take the actual).
After going through the webinterface-setup the webinterface say reboot. ssh is also disconnecting BUT the BPi M2 Berry isnt rebooting (is pingable).... and after power off/on the BPi M2 Berry doenst boot anymore
 
Grandma would be very anry with Grandpa 
 
Tested on a BananaPi Me Berry with armbian debian buster Kernel 5.6.16
 
Now I will return to my manually installed working SAMBA-Server  
 

If you could provide this as patches for Armbian to include into the building process it would be appreciated

Hello, following the steps to add audio support to h3, v3s, a23 modified sun4i-codec to add support for r40, and if anyone else wants to try:
 
Video
 
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/juanesf/codec/master/compile-codec.sh | sudo bash /dev/stdin  

From my Bell Fiber TV Decoder, but I'm using HDMI splitter ...
Yes ! Actually, I'm using currently a HDMI Capture box purchased a year ago (at US$80), which store the capture on USB dongle, which I then copy files into a NAS, but current limitation is that files are splitted into 2GB FAT chunk (around 20mins of recording) instead of single files. I then need to concatenate them into single one using ffmpeg.
Then, I convert them into DVD with "dvdauthor" to give DVDs to my mother ...

Anyway, next steps to save time are:
- completely remove NetworkManager (you need to do your network config the classic way then). 
- remove armbian zram and ramlog (which can be done via apt remove or just disable the services) 
- make sure your device does not run a fsck on every boot 
- remove u-boot 'prompt timeout' (the time the bootloader waits for user input before booting the system, I guess thats 3s default on armbian) 
 
Btw. no guarantee that your system works perfectly after above steps - there's a reason for every service running.
