    Tido reacted to Werner in Boot time - Anything similar to "Boot without waiting for network connection"?   
    A RaspberryPi and any board that is supported by Armbian cannot be compared really.
    At RaspberryPi a lot of people working with just a few boards while at Armbian just a few people working literally on hundreds of boards which not even share the same sources. You see while at their place they have plenty of time to tweak every aspect Armbian simply cannot do that due to lack of ressources.

    Tido reacted to sgjava in Using Zabbix to monitor all your IP devices on Armbian server   
    Actually Zabbix is monitoring software that collects telemetry and allows actions such as emailing, texting, restarting services or servers based on conditions and escalations. I've totally automated network admin type roles with it and things at home like monitoring the power state of my beer refrigerator in the garage. It's super flexible and easy to add stuff to the agent for client specific needs. It can also scale to millions of devices or just a handful at home. Also, the agent is now golang, not C.

    Cockpit looks more like Webmin on steroids. It's also Linux only from what I can tell. Zabbix is cross platform if you ever have to manage a mixed environment with Linux and Windows servers.

    Tido reacted to guidol in Update PHP ?   
    @Club AC-News
    I checked on my old FOX G20 with Kernel 4.9.124 and debian-stretch and in the normal debian-repositories there is only PHP v7.0
     
    But it seem that you are not the only one who needs >= v7.3 on stretch
     
    And YES you have to add something manually:
    before you can install a new php-version: ========================================== sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt install ca-certificates apt-transport-https wget -q https://packages.sury.org/php/apt.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - echo "deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ stretch main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list after that for PHP v7.3: ============= sudo apt install php7.3 sudo apt install php7.3-cli php7.3-common php7.3-curl php7.3-mbstring php7.3-mysql php7.3-xml or for PHP v7.4: ============= sudo apt install php7.4 sudo apt install php7.4-cli php7.4-common php7.4-curl php7.4-mbstring php7.4-mysql php7.4-xml for additonal informations (like configuring Apache/Nginx-Webserver to run PHP) check the following URLs:

    Tido got a reaction from Werner in Mark TV-Boxes forums as CSC   
    I don't think this was @Werner 's intention.  IIRC, since Beelink where they just replace parts we agreed that TV-Boxes are CSC only.
    Let us be consistent, do not invent anything new that is arleady there, and just place a line below the TV-Box-Section as Werner suggested at the begin.
    SUPPORTED
    SUITABLE FOR TESTING (WIP)
    SUPPORT ENDED (EOS)
    NO OFFICIAL SUPPORT (CSC) are devices which are supported by the 3rd party. We usually don’t have hardware samples nor conduct any tests but they might work. There is no support whatsoever.
     
    I copied that from the download FAQ section.
    I still hate TLA's  (three-letter acronym) without explanation. I cannot remember what CSC stands for !   and!!! and it is not explained on the FAQ, what is a bloody FAQ for if it raises a question.

    Version 20200519.
    This version is fully built not mediocre on the ARM platform (rk3399).
    I checked how the images work on different models, and no problems were found. The system works identically to the version built using the old scheme via cross-compilation on x86. While these images do not have u-boot and to run from the SD card on RK3399 add u-boot, as described at the beginning of the topic.
    Now anyone can build their own version of ArmbianTV not mediocre on their device.

    Important notice (One-way-ticket)
    There are many fundamental changes between Pi-hole 4.x and 5.0 – as such, this is strictly a one way operation.  
    Once you move from 4.x to 5.0, there is no way to go back; you will need to restore from a backup.

    To update to this new version from version 4.x,  run pihole -up

    Tido reacted to sgjava in Java Periphery released!   
    Java Periphery has finally been released! Java Periphery is a high performance library for GPIO, LED, PWM, SPI, I2C, MMIO and Serial peripheral I/O interface access in userspace Linux. This will replace User Space IO. I'm seeing GPIO write speeds of 500K/s from userspace. Compared to User Space IO and libgopid speeds of 2K/s. I switched from JNA wrapper generation to JNI wrapper generation. The build process is much simpler (only single install.sh) and building libgpiod is no longer required. The API follows c-periphery, python-periphery and lua-periphery. This should cover the widest array of SBCs and languages around.
     
    Java Periphery should work on Armbian/Ubuntu/Debian, but also other non-Armbian distributions. If you run into issues please use Github issues to report.

    @Igor @RussianNeuroMancer for the chronyd-bug with ubunutu focal you could take a look here

    where they found a problem/solution:
    * Chrony can't start on platorms that map gettimeofday to clock_gettime64() * This is due to syscall filtering being correct on some but generic enough to cover all areas. as a temporary solution they wrote:
     
    So we will need to whitelist the clock_gettime64() system call in chronyd’s seccomp filter. I’ll send a patch upstream. Meanwhile, you can disable the seccomp filter by running (as root): # sed -i '/DAEMON_OPTS=/s/"-F -1"/"-F 0"/' /etc/default/chrony # systemctl restart chrony.service BTW: My NanoPi A64 with  armbian focal  kernel 5.6.12 is running

    Tido reacted to guidol in Very Small Platforms - Rockchip 3308 and Allwinner V3s   
    For Retro-reasons:
    I did buy a old Acme Systems FOX G20 (because it was cheap (10EUR) -
    normally I would like own a Acme Systems Arietta G25 because of the formfactor / pinout).
    The Fox has only 400Mhz and 64MB of Ram (Arietta has 128 or 256MB but same CPU-Speed)
    but could boot a wheezy (Sorry no armbian) in 9MB
    I do find it very cool this very low memory useage - while running the SSH/FTP-Server.
     
    Also I like the company name  
    Reminds me at the companys allways could be seen in Cartoon series
    (ACME Co. = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acme_Corporation )

    The original image on the companys webpage was "infected" with emdebian wheezy-grip which is long EOL
    So I had to multistrap a new rootfs from the pure debian archive wheezy and transplant the modules/firmware to the newer rootfs (kernel is the same).

    Was something nice to learn here while staying home

    It was difficult to get a proper plot, so that gThumb doesn't crash. I reached that goal by disabling:   sudo systemctl disable rk3399-bluetooth.service ;  the plot reduced from 1,4MB to 181kB.
    However, the boot itself takes an eternity, here some more details, from serial-getty@ttyS2.service (at 66 seconds) to launch  user-1000.slice  (at 134 sec.)  Booting completed at 145 seconds.

    Please contact the administration to move this topic to the TV box section. I would like to (as far as possible) continue this direction (native Armbian build directly on ARM devices). For skeptics. Recently, I completely moved the LivreELEC build to the ARM platform (i.e. the entire process of creating LE images and Addons now takes place on ARM rk3399\s922x devices). My dream is (perhaps) to try to transfer the ArmbianTV build completely to the ARM platform and get rid of the x86 dependency.

With the slower speeds, not so much. You can also do square wave 1 bit PCM sound too. I'm going to date myself, but I was doing this on a C64 in the 1980s. https://github.com/sgjava/garage/blob/master/commodore/c64/digisound/src/digisnd.asm Then you only need a simple piezoelectric speaker.
     
    There are probably a bunch of other uses, but this should give you an idea. Just the fact that I'm half the speed of Bulldog with many more platforms is a good thing. I was shooting for a generic high performance solution instead of coding directly to the GPIO chip like Bulldog.
