[Is RK3399 (OPi 4) supported by Armbian?]

So shouldn't some of admins change forum name? To include OPi4 chip?

[2 OPiPC+'s, same /boot, different results]

GREAT, thats what I may use in script :).

As one of my OPiPC+ repeatedly hangs, despite heatsinks, but it is in plastic enclosure, so I may suspect overheating.

Now I will add not only date/time but temperature too to a "logfile".

 

Changed uSD card from Toshiba to Samsung (A1) same. System is not the "old upgraded one" with whitch I had problems, but a clone of working OPi.

Last thing is power, but there is SMPS 5V 3A + UltraCap 1F/5.5V, but who knows, cable is short (10-15cm) but poor quality (more than 1ohm @ 1m).

 

But a bit strange, other one, w/o heatisinks, shows temp 74950 (I guess it is miliK) but runs (for now) for 8 days w/o problem.

[How do I configure an WiFi AP on OPi3?]

This one: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/89803/access-point-as-wifi-router-repeater-optional-with-bridge/89804?newreg=e46b9f0f237d4913b4b807b2369df10c

looks promising as it covers AP AND STA setup, don't know about WDS.

root@orangepi3:~# sensors
No sensors found!
Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.

:(

[2 OPiPC+'s, same /boot, different results]

Ooops, installed but sensors-detect finds nothing. It suggests to verify if all needed kernel modules are loaded.

?

[2 OPiPC+'s, same /boot, different results]

Got to the readme finally.

Installed linux-source, then libncurses-dev, then compiled. Works.

A bit too complicated (not suitable for script use, IMO). Do You know anything better suited for scripts? Eg 1 line per temp? Or just do a grep on tmon output?

[How do I configure an WiFi AP on OPi3?]

Just checked:

root@orangepi3:/var/motion# apt list hostapd
Listing... Gotowe
hostapd/buster,now 3:2.9-102~armbian20.05.2+1 arm64 [installed]

root@orangepi3:/var/motion# host
host         hostapd      hostapd_cli  hostid       hostname     hostnamectl

So hostapd IS there, "only" need to know how ("manually") configure it, OR enable it in menu-driven armbian-config.

Maybe You used later (broken?) image?

[Orange pi 3 - Switch boot between EMMC/SD]

Martin, do You remember, how "we" divide people?

- those that DO backups,

- those that WILL DO backups :)

 

So it would be better to first save what You want to clear.

 

Regards ;p

Is this "simple Makefile" project? Can be found by google?

[How do I configure an WiFi AP on OPi3?]

Are there somewhere "howto's" on setting hostapd config "manually"? Directly editing needed config files?

 

I didn't say "hostapd does not work", I just said "there is NO 'menu entry' for this on OPi3 armbian-config".

With all Soc from Allwinner, the SDCard has priority over eMMC....

Isn't it that way, that they HAVE, but also have to find bootloader on uSD? I remember there were instructions on forum to clear xx first kB on uSD to prevent booting from SD after installing system on eMMC. Don't remember numbers. But this case one should copy these xx kB to a file, then clear it to switch to eMMC, doing reverse (copy from file to SD) for revert to uSD booting?

[How do I configure an WiFi AP on OPi3?]

Guess it works, but don't know how to configure it.

There is NO "hotspot" submenu in armbian-config/network...

[2 OPiPC+'s, same /boot, different results]

Don't have "tmon" (as root), what should I install (package name)?

[Is RK3399 (OPi 4) supported by Armbian?]

1). Do You know, when it will be supported? Half year? More? Less? (based on earilier such situations).

2). Are they laying about Debian 9 "supported"?

[Is RK3399 (OPi 4) supported by Armbian?]

Hi there,

is the RK3399 (OrangePi4) already supported by Armbian?

The manufacturer claims support "Debian 9" but current Armbian is Debian Buster 10 - based.

Anyone tried this board with success?

[Strange e-mail for root on OPi3]

Hi there,

as I've connected my laptop e-mail client (Thunderbird) to my OPi3 I started to receive strange emails "from root ("cron daemon") to root":

Subject "Cron <root@orangepi3> /usr/lib/armbian/armbian-truncate-logs"

 

"error: syslog-ng:8 lines must begin with a keyword or a filename (possibly in double quotes)

error: unattended-upgrades:10 lines must begin with a keyword or a filename (possibly in double quotes)"

 

What should I do?

Line 8 in armbian-truncate-logs is comment, so error is not there.

[OPi 3 display problem(?) [partially SOLVED]]

Just realized, that I may try it with "real HDMI" TV of my neighbour. BUT same converter, same VGA monitor WORKS for OPiPC+...

[How do I configure an WiFi AP on OPi3?]

Hi there,

how do I configure / start an WiFi AP on OPi3?

In armbian-config (found using google, and found on OPiPC+) from my current Buster (OOB + update / upgrade) there is NO option to set up an AP.

I may configure it "manually" (edit config files) but I need some tutorial if there is no "menu style" config.

[2 OPiPC+'s, same /boot, different results]

Stopped after 5 days :(.

This MAY be temperature issue:

- found system in "dead" (but graphic login screeen displayed, mouse & kbd dead) state, no even ping.

- after power-up cycle system restarted (with OpenHAB2 "starting"), in htop core temperature 80+*C.

- case was REALLY HOT.

 

In few days I expect to get fan for this (originally for RPi3 but I think I can adapt it, it is 3.3V/5V). Drill the ventilation holes then return to testing. Have spare heatsink will attach it to processor too.

I also made "1 liner shell" running, sending date every minute to a file, so I'll be able to tell when it started and when stoppped. Someone knows how to get core temperature (like on ssh login screen & htop screen) from shell command line?

 

Also stopped OpenHAB2 -> for eating 280MB RAM.

[2 OPiPC+'s, same /boot, different results]

As for now (24+h) running OK, still 4 cores in htop.

[2 OPiPC+'s, same /boot, different results]

Ok, cloned "working" uSD (dd + gzip + scp + unzip + dd over the network).

At least problem with only 1 core is "gone", will do "burn in" test for few days.

This also will give me possibility to attach to serial and record boot sequence (swapping cards).

 

But I think it is system problem.

It would be interesting to find WHY it gone bad? (after upgrade from Jessie).

 

Anyway I am migrating OpenHAB2 and PostgreSQL to OPi3, more MHz, 2x more RAM. It is too heavy for OPiPC(+). Final target will be OPi4

[2 OPiPC+'s, same /boot, different results]

Yes, I did. My power circuit is quite complicated: battery backed SMPS PSU @ 12V, then SMPS converter (rated 3A) to 5V. Switched to other 12/5V converter/cable, same result.

Will also try to replace SD card, but they are both Samsung class 10 32GB.

[2 OPiPC+'s, same /boot, different results]

Ok, forgot.

Just copied now, on "non working" there are now /lib/modules/ for 5.4.31 (from NEW board, stock Armbian Buster) AND 5.4.35 (which shows - surprise on OLD board). Rebooted, no change in htop, differencies in lsmod...

Does it say something? No encryption/LVM on new may be caused by fact, it was now connected to USB HDD with LUKS/LVM partitions (the old one was).

From the "non-working" one, I'll get this probably during weekend, as I have physical access to it. The other (working 100%) one is at my neighbor, so will do it in few days.
