Hi all, I try to use a SATA/SSD connected via USB instead of a SD Card or eMMC, but it doesnt boot at all. I tried to use U-Boot for Rock64 on SPI: Release 2017.09-rockchip-ayufan-1065-g95f6152134 · ayufan-rock64/linux-u-boot · GitHub (flashed to SD Card and successfully booted on Rock64), but without success. I flashed the same Image to SD Card, eMMC and SSD. Booting from SD Card and eMMC works without problems, SSD is visible from Rock64, correct UUID is written in "armbianEnv.txt" on SSD. But nevertheless - it doesn´t boot. I use the Rock64 for my Home Automation and want to use the SSD because it should be more stable long term as a eMMC or SD Card. Kind Regards Martin

Ok-sorry... got it!

Hi all, I installed the newest bookworm image (Armbian_community_24.5.0-trunk.250_Rock64_bookworm_current_6.6.22_minimal.img.xz😞 flashed it to SD card, booted... Rock64 boot was okay, via PuTTY it asked me to log in, but I have no PW, not any credentials, of course. Shouldn´t it ask me for a root PW first??? BR Martin

Hi Werner, thanks a lot for yor reply, Now I see all the things more clearly. I work as an Engineer mostly with Windows, Having not much experience with Linux derivations, unfortunately. This is a chance to force me to dig a little deeper into Linux. IoBroker is a framework for home automation, driven by a community, Combining a system of adapters for several interfaces to Commercial sensors and actors with a historian, Visualisation and scripting agent to control actors depending on sensors, daylight, time and so on.

To be more precisely, I run my system with ioBroker... KR Martin

Hi Werner, What do you mean with outdated? Armbian Stretch? Armbian in general surely not... I run my home automation system on Rock64 and need to update npm to 8.xx anf nodejs to 18.xx I succeeded to update npm, but not yet nodejs, is it because Armbian? How can I change if needed to be future proof? Kind Regards Martin

Hi all, I have a Rock64, running ioBroker, and want to update the npm/nodejs to update all the adapters - mainly MQTT with which I have some problems.
