[NanoPI NEO / AIR]

Ok,

 

It looks that the first task to have a decent cross-compile environment and be able to build is now in place

 

Builded on a new Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS my first Jessie 3.4.112 image, it numbered Armbian 5.21.

Flashed on a SD card and is up and running.

 

I do not know what that "setsockopt IP_TOS 16: Invalid argument:" is though..

 

Any way, tried to use a WiFi dongle (RTL8192CU) but was not as easy as expected, although I see it with lsmod and dmesg

root@nanopineo:/home/christos# lsmod

Is there something I could do about it, any relevant how-to page in armbian for the 8192cu wifi?

 

 

Thanks anyway for the help so far.

ok, will do.

 

Yet, is the compile.sh process meant to load the necessary toolchain?

[NanoPI NEO / AIR]

Ok, tried to have a from scratch build here.

 

Got Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x64.

Followed the instructions on armbian documentation and specifically the things mentioned in https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib.

 

Started the build and after a while got this error

Actually this happens when I choose any variant, NanoPi NEO or other board.

 

 

Does the compile.sh script downloads the necessary toolchain or should I do it prior to start compile? if so, which toolchain should I use?

The one thing does not work (the USB port) has to be fixed by using the dtc tool ..

 

Ok, thanks for clearing out these.

Just one more question though, any actual link for the 'dtc tool' you mention here? what exactly is it?

 

Thanks again,

Christos

 

 

P.S.

I might give it a try on my own to build and test from scratch..

[NanoPI NEO / AIR]

... i used the vanilla jessie image here: http://www.armbian.com/donate/?f=Armbian_5.17_Nanopineo_Debian_jessie_4.6.7.7z

 

so far so good..

 

 

 

Is there any page that shows a list of created images (even test ones), like this one? apart from this direct link I could not find any relevant site page.. 

 

Also, tkaiser's link is not working so not able to download its image.

Hi,

 

I 'm new to Armbian forum and at first I would like to thank all of you admin&devs guys here for your work!

 

Got my 2xNanoPi-NEO v1.1 yesterday and would like to jump into armbian releases.

Seen the relevant NEO downloads page and in there are Jessie and Xenial with kernel 3.4.112.

 

 

Can someone please point me to the latest available NEO images with kernel  4.7.x?
