debianwrt

@eselarm I agree with you, it's a fabulous device. And like you, hours after the post, I realized that I only need a VM host. I was thinking about the M6, but why get stuck with Windows ARM when Debian and Android also work on Intel? These bonsai devices are really appealing, but for now I've returned it to Amazon. I bought it as a gateway-media server, to have priority on the LAN and lighten Android TV, but I realized that with MediaTek there is a huge gap in network management, so I put it on the LAN, and Debian in VNC was running strong, I wanted to speed it up with Armbian. Apart from the fact that they call their community “third parties,” it still seems like a good idea to me. I could install the generic Arm64-xfce with mesa-vpu... engineering-wise, it's incredible in 6 square centimeters, but an i7 tower is more convenient for VMs.

@Werner Sorry to open it again, but that the download in the middle of the page https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-r5c/ is third party, I realized it now by re-reading in the middle of the page. Can I ask you for an opinion? Given the type of device (one of many Pi), I would have a better ratio (hw-performance / sw-conflict), running: 1) this fork; 2) the official; 3) debian 12. Compared to Debian 11 desktop factory iso, this fork increase very few performances. Does it make sense, in your opinion, that I improve with Armbian Stable? Thanks anyway! PS: also for the previous post, I re-read in the middle of the page and you say to give the archive.xz to usbimager. But considering that people generally flash iso's (windows, linux and even Nano Pi factories), for Pi's newer it is not obvious, it should be reiterated in parentheses.

Hi all, I discovered this distro through FriendlyElec and I think it is the perfect hybrid of deb and wrt, but the only image is a file system, it doesn't even boot. All FriendlyElec's official ones are from 8 partitions with: boot, rootfs, kernel, etc, this one has everything in one and I don't think it's good for a mini device that runs in blocks like any openwrt. Has anyone installed on the r5c? How, is there a clean way to recreate the partitions? (note on boot: I turned on with sd and mask calc, steady red light, and eth mail router doesn't see it either. With friendlywrt and bullseye everything was working) Edit light blinks, I was confused between usbimager, balena, winimager and I had put an empty sd when hoprovided rufus. But it remains that it doesn't go to dhcp, and the doubt about the blocks (maybe it creates them at installation). Edit: Not dhcp matter, eth don't see any link. There's a best way to image sd? (Initial question) Solved: if you want, delete the topic but take it as a recommendation for the installation guide. Extracting the archive.xz from explorer in windows 11 24h2 the content corrupts and win32diskimager (recommended by FriendlyElec) or usbimager (recommended by you), doesn't notice it, balenaetcher instead warned, so I tried to give it the archive.xz, it extracted it by itself and started. Thanks anyway for creating it, but warn about using balenaetcher on archive.xz to windows users, and delete the topic. Greetings! Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
