I believe the nand is not supported. This is not a great loss as it is flaky and unreliable. Not sure about the rtc. Do you have a battery?

This is likely a $PATH issue. usermod is in /usr/sbin which is probably not in your user's $PATH. If you su without adding - you do not get root's $PATH but with sudo you do.

That does look like a bad SD card. If another one works that would tend to confirm it.

I would guess you have fiddled with /etc/fstab or copied your root partition from elsewhere without fiddling with your /etc/fstab. Or maybe /boot/armbianEnv.txt At any rate, the kernel is looking for a partition with UUID=0b77.... to mount at / but isn't finding it. So you need to either change the UUID it is looking for to the one your root partition has, or change your root partition to have the UUID it is looking for.

You could set up a cron job to reboot it every so often. Log in with PuTTY and type sudo crontab -e This will open the default crontab in an editor, probably nano. At the end of the file add the line 0 * * * * systemctl reboot to reboot every hour on the hour. It needs to have a newline at the end, ie. a blank line at the bottom of the file. man 5 crontab will tell you more.

I haven't tried it lately but it didn't work last time I did. It looks like everything is in place but it does't actually work. My conclusion was it is a bug or at least a lack of support for the hardware.

A better power supply might fix 1 and 2, they can go bad over time. 3 is a bug, sometimes you will get a connection, but mostly no carrier.

CONFIG_GMAC_TX_DELAY seems to have been added to uboot in 2015 so the question is is it being set in armbian? I don't know if it can be set in bootEnv.txt or you have to set it at build time. I don't have access to my cubietruck right now...

That looks like it is working to me. I have been fiddling with my cubietruck recently and I notice that it doesn't always connect to the network too, so maybe the problem has nothing to do with your carrier board.

I have no clue, but maybe you will find one in the system logs.

I don't believe mainline kernels support the NAND, and aren't likely to as it is flaky. I would try whatever the current image is and see what you get.

Why not use libgpiod? Or try to port mraa?

You are probably going to need a share name after the IP address smb://10.10.2.101/sharename Running smbclient from the command line will give you more feedback and allow you to search for shares.

Normally your router will be responsible for translating the hostname to an IP address. So if it stops working you should look at your router's DHCP and DNS. Often both will be handled by dnsmasq. Rebooting your RockPro will renew its DHCP lease.

I haven't seen modules like those before but I've used the typical 'terminal server' in a metal box. They work, the only caveat I would mention is that they can have old and non-standard web interfaces for configuration. Some of the cheaper ones I've used can only be accessed with Konqueror, not Firefox or other more common browsers. I don't know about VLANs.
