Hi.
 
Firstly, is anyone working on building Armbian for the Quartz64?
If no one else is I would love to give it a try.
What I already have:-
A Quartz64 running slarm64 (or the default manjaro)
Kernel source for above and a dtb file.
A build environment that seems to work (I just built an image for Rock 3a on it).
 
Can anyone give me some ideas on how I clone an existing device in the build environment and start modifying it so that it can build something new?
 
I notice that the legacy kernel that it produced for the Rock 3a is version 4.19.193 which looks good for the Quartz64 as well.  The advantage of this older kernel as used on slarm64 is that the HDMI output works,
 
Any help for a newbie at this would be appreciated.

Just for the record here is the first "release" message archived!
https://web.archive.org/web/20140102083415/http://www.cubieforums.com/index.php/topic,1275.0.html

I believe what is required is this commit added to the meson64 patch set. https://github.com/tobetter/linux/commit/a026e2e9f55116e81ed49f48d918fdb91e28eff6

@SteeMan you are really good person  it works when I selected through `Update and Backup` app. Thanks a lot

I do not have any other A20 board. I will ask around my colleagues for a spare one.
Though If indeed there is a spare cubietruck to be provided by any forum member I would gladly help maintain this board.

@chinhhut
Will try to explain you what loader is with an analogy: in normal pc you have bios and master boot record. Well, maskrom is bios and is contained in the soc itself, loader is a sort of master boot record and it enables the emmc and ddr.
You can have a look here

I did extract it by a working firmware using a tool that unpacked the whole firmware. Try to google for RK3xxx_firmware_tools_5.23.1_by_SergioPoverony.zip and leave alone that github since it is just one piece of the puzzle. The detailed infos how to get a working loader are in the rockchip instructions

 

Of course and the command would be rkdeveloptoo rl 0x0 etc etc etc ( try rkdeveloptool -h to get the help)
But if you are lucky that works multitool, well that is the easiest way to clone and clone back

I created PR: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/3240

I'd be happy to assist with Pinebook Pro maintenance. github.com/seclorum
 

Hi, I'm looking at this too, but I'm new to Ansible and starting to learn about it.
I've forked autotests and started to play with playbooks and roles. My modest additions can be viewed here: https://github.com/jeanrhum/autotests
 
As I understand, QA repository is the new way to go and all must be built from scratch. I'll continue my expriments on my side, waiting for guidelines on QA to see if I can help in some way.

Just joined as contributor,
 
I was reviewing https://github.com/armbian/autotests and some of the task can be automated with Ansible very quickly, is there any work on the go or should I start a new repository?
 
Any special format for the html reports?
 
I will be setting up an env to test the actual code [autotests] will report back with doubts and questions...

Hi Igor, i started to write such a tool for the same ûrpose as yours, it was a log time ago, for exactly the same target as yours (many things to talk;) )   it under Apache License and github, usung python and simple unit test. BTW i know verwell Ansible, and i'll be very happy to help you
 
The tool is available under https://github.com/wbonnet/sbit
 
It looks empty a first i need to push several things if you are interested, i will provide doc and some board auto test. The simpliest is maybe to start talkinng about it here or on IRC. deb packages are also availables online from the DFT project (githhub) also

i'll look forward to you about this subject in the next days, i my have several other thing to share and contribute
cheers William

Yes, but fear not, _fragments_ lives on in my branches. I will try to upstream it again eventually, maybe together with more useful features/refactoring based on it.

On a local network, NTP tends to have an offset/jitter of around 20-50 ms.
 
Distributing PPS to all your computers (may require signal buffering / EMI shielding) should get it down to <10 ms.
 
You can also consider Chrony w/ PTP support, but will require all your network switches to support it to get the best performance. I don't recall offhand if it requires driver/kernel support.
 

You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means
 

No PoE at that end, I just bought a cheap splitter off AliExpress for a few bucks to separate the Ethernet from power at that end.
 
Yep, using same W5100 module.  Not even a "shield" I just connected it with dupont wires.  But a shield is probably a more reliable connection, now that I think about it.

Thanks for this wise reply, I already loose too much time with computers.
My wife thanks you very much
Have a nice day

I want to add to the list the topic userpatches organization #2915, which @TonyMac32 started.
This is a fundamental principle and it requires attention.
 

I guess I felt like that great discussion in rpardini's PR was sort of shut down prematurely.  Maybe the forum is a better place where we can take the long view over time and build more consensus about some of these bigger changes.
 
Here, everyone have a beer and relax, get into right frame of mind.

Hello! The OPI3 manufacturer in the manual directly warns not to be supplied through OTG. Too thin conductors! Alternatively, check these electrical chains and restore. If it does not help, then the AXP805 is destroyed. You can, of course, replace it if there are skills. OS is not exactly here.
Sincerely, Viktor Chekasin.
P.S. Sorry, this is a machine forever from Russian into English.

Yes it's a bit of an architectural change.  But one I actually prefer.  In fact, I have MQTT server running on one SBC, controller (OpenHAB in my case) running on another, etc...  But you could just as easily containerize things (and one day I probably will, too).
 
You can also position the gateway in a more ideal location (for the radio).  Mine is centrally located in our home.  I actually bought a PoE switch and run the power and data to it all in one wire.
