You can try use a used 4.3inch TomTom display for cheap on Ebay

Im waiting for 7inch 1024x600 screen also

@ftp-bin2fex Yes, here is a 4.3 inch 800x480 screen, the default image has it enabled for uboot. (im still waiting for my screens) https://www.banggood.com/Lichee-Pi-5-inch-LCD-Display-RTP-800480-Resolution-With-4-wire-Resistive-Touch-Screen-p-1340806.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN https://licheepizero.us/ Also the Zero Dock board with Ethernet https://www.banggood.com/LicheePi-Zero-1GHz-Cortex-A7-512Mbit-DDR-Development-Board-Mini-PC-p-1337966.html

@tpc010 oh thank you! for building, i will send link to where to store image (personal message)

I don't have other u-boot configs to try and the previous version do the same

I did blacklist the pwm_bl on the card, but it just stuck at Starting Kernel... Did you need to set via u-boot console the disp parameter at all? it seems my bootup want to change video mode ?

@tpc010 is it possible for you to share your last known working image ? I found a YunTab 7, but my build stuck at starting kernel....

Ok, understood.

@gprovost refer to these links for detail around how cjdns uses it's own CryptoAuth protocol with ed25519, poly1305, and salsa20. https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns/blob/master/doc/Whitepaper.md https://github.com/hyperboria/bugs/issues/112 To see if the encryption task the CJDNS uses benefits or not from cryptodev hw acceleration

@gprovost thank you for effort with the guide. Could you possibly include some CJDNS benchmarks ?

@nikkov also not armbian related, any chance you tried this or want to try ? NanoPi-NEO2 の I2SでMCLK出力 & 384kHz, 768kHz, 1536kHz, 8kHz https://qiita.com/blue-7/items/d643cc9e441ca594a01e http://www.single-ended.com/Nanopi-neo.htm

@tpc010 unfortunately my A33 tablet, does not start at all from sdcard no matter what A33 image or u-boot i try. fel-storage does not work for me either, so im stuck NeonNiQ NQT-7W tablet from South Africa, running Android 5.1 7inch 1024x600, 512mb ram, 8Gb storage

You will also find some USB flash drives work (respond quicker) better than others for USB booting from u-boot .

@tpc010 What specific tablet you are using ? Are you able to boot a Armbian build image directly from sdcard now?

Thank you kindly, for your feedback, will try once I have my A33 Soc device

@zador.blood.stained is this a miniroot ? what is required to rebuild the kernel and initrd ?

What would one need todo to add support for A33 SoC ? @zador.blood.stained

@ozdemirkulaoglu what output does running this command give with and without crypto engine libraries time openssl speed -evp aes-128-cbc -engine cryptodev what crypto module you using "sun8i-ce" ?

Ok, thank you @tkaiser. I also wanted to suggest adding the "time" command to the benchmarks show more execution details time openssl speed -elapsed -evp aes-128-cbc time openssl speed -elapsed -evp aes-192-cbc time openssl speed -elapsed -evp aes-256-cb

What is the current status of crypto support with Armbian? It still not stable enough to include ?

Stefan kindly share link for the i2s dac aliexpress. I think i had 1 of these

FriendlyARM recently made their NanoHat PCM5102A DAC Hat work on their H5 chipset baord with 3.4 and 4.x kernel http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/NanoHat_PCM5102A

Thank you for the very useful info. My issue seems to be power related (current/voltage drop) I installed a large heat-sink on my board and had to use DuPont (less than 6cm) wires to use the usb/mic/sound expansion board (not the NAS board) , mounting it without the DuPont wires solved the problem (it however has no issue with the legacy kernel)
