Hi! I need to make sure that my GPIOs remember the last state when my Tinkerboard reboots. Is it possible to modify the bootloader and avoid GPIO.cleanup? If yes, then how? Thanks!

@CryBaby Could you please advise how to make a separate partition on Armbian for "/boot"? I was tinkering with attempts to make /boot read-only via u-boot CLI, but had no luck. I mean not only making a partition as such, but also telling Armbian that /boot is on another mmcblk. I am using Tinkerboards EMMC. Thanks!

@JMCC Would you please share the Chromium-browser that comes with Buster? Maybe you've got .deb package so that I could try it on Bullseye?

@JMCC It's rather hard to give up the latest kernel and already configured SBC and roll back to Buster Is there any chance to install Chromium that supports Web GL 2 on newer distros?

Are these repos sudo add-apt-repository ppa:liujianfeng1994/panfork-mesa sudo add-apt-repository ppa:liujianfeng1994/rockchip-multimedia suitable for all RK chipsets? I have RK3288 (Tinkerboard S R2.0) and would like to install Chromium with Web GL 2 support. Can't find the proper repo with this browser for RK3288.

I'm struggling to find the proper PPA with "chromium-browser" that would work with WebGL2 on Tinkerboard S (RK3288). Snap version does not support Web GL2. Does anybody know the good PPA with Chromium for RK3288?

@Igor Not yet:) I am using Tinkerboard to automate a house boiler room so far. But, nevertheless I just joined the donators as I consider this forum helpful! I am OK to be Tinkerboard S R2.0 tester to make it fully supported by Armbian.

@CryBaby Thanks! Is this action enough to prevent corruption of bootloader during unexpected power outage?

@jock I do appreciate your valuable hint regarding 8723ds driver adding in manual kernel compilation, but everytime I do sudo apt full-upgrade eventually I get my driver wiped out from the system. Could you please advise what should I do in this case to avoid it? Should I manually patch kernel manually again?

How can I make sure my /boot is protected against power failure making eMMC of Tinkerboard corrupted? Is it possible to mount read-only /boot while leaving the rest of FS writeable? I know about Overlay root FS, it's OK, but I need to protect only boot. Please help to mount it properly. Thanks!

I reinstalled snapd, rebooted and the problem vanished. Don't understand why it appeared though.

@Werner Yes, squashfs is listed in lsmod, but it does not seem to be mounted.

I try to install chromium and get this: root@tinkerboard:~# sudo apt install chromium-browser Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information...

Any way to solve without rebuilding image?

@SteeMan Could you be more specific, please? How do I specify the bmp in the patch?

Is it possible to install Multimedia Framework for Armbian CLI images? I have to run Chromium with Web GL 2.0 support and don't need Desktop things.... In my case under latest Armbian Debian CLI image I have packages not found. root@tinkerboard:~# sudo apt install media-buster-legacy-tinkerboard --install-recommends Reading package lists...
