I did try totday the actual DietPi image.... At the first boot I had a console, but after the update (kernel 5.10.4) of the system we got the same black screen as with armbian.

@IgorI have got a 720p white non-pro Pinebook A64. I compiled via the armbian-build-system Armbian 21.02.0-trunk Buster with Linux 5.10.9-sunxi64 On my Pinebook at first it does show the armbian-logo and the text until "starting kernel" Then it goes black/dark/blank for a few seconds. After that I DO GET again the armbian-logo but this time in the middle of the screen with a Win10-Circle-Loading-Logo Now the logo and circle disappear and the backlight stays on with nothing on the screen I connected a USB-Ethernet-Adapter and logged in via SSH to get the system-information from the armbian-monitor: System diagnosis information has been uploaded to http://ix.io/2Ndg But in the next reboots the USB-Ethernet doesnt seems to be recognized anymore (Link is blinking, but no IP from DHCP)

the images are normally OK. Do you got error messages on the images which doesnt boot complete? Or do you got a TTL-serial-dongle to give us the output then your OPi PC v1.2 is trying to boot from a card? 32GB cards should also be OK, because armbian will resize the filesystem and the 4xt filesystem can handle 32GB without problems. Are you sure you have a OPi PC (H3 CPU) and not a Opi PC2 (H5 CPU)? PC: http://www.orangepi.org/orangepipc/ PC2: http://www.orangepi.org/orangepipc2/

In this second incident with the NPi K1 Plus I did check the sdcard on the Neo2 with fsck - and it tested the filesystem without problems. I also could see the UUID in the long version (with the right charcters) in /etc/fstab and /boot/armbianEvent.txt OK, it may be an unprintable character - then it would make sense that it doesnt want to start, but its interesting that on both devices the corruption does cut the UUID that the same place. Corruption due to Power-Outage is possible here in Turkey

@Igorstrange - got near the same problem this evening with a nanoPi K1 Plus (after updating to pihole FTL 5.5.1 and reboot = https://pi-hole.net/2021/01/19/pi-hole-ftl-v5-5-released-update-today#page-content ) The NPI K1 Plus is searching a shorter UUID than shown as blkid The Boot-Error does show boot-err 971c3757-23ee-42 So I did put the card of the NPI K1 Plus in my Neo2 (IP24) and monuted it on /mnt/sdb1 But with blkid and in /etc/fstab and /boot/armbianEnv.txt I ons could find the long UUID: boot-err 971c3757-23ee-42 blkid 971c3757-23ee-4281-b0cb-989e7255e3d9 fstab 971c3757-23ee-4281-b0cb-989e7255e3d9 armbianEnv 971c3757-23ee-4281-b0cb-989e7255e3d9 Everthing seems OK - so because the Neo2 had the problem in /etc/fstab I deleted (the correct one) and replaced it with (in my sight) the same text and did put back the card in the NPI K1 Plus and it worked again ?? just fine Dont know what happend - while booting- the 4 times before I removed the card... This is the second time this month with a different device... System diagnosis information has been uploaded to http://ix.io/2MCd

Sorry - this isnt a forum for supporting OpenWRT (they got an own forum) at https://forum.openwrt.org/c/devel/8 https://forum.openwrt.org/c/hardware-questions-and-recommendations/13 but you can take a look at:

@CeeGO there was a thread about this problem with a solution last November in this forum - maybe this info could help you?

I checked the (at mine problematic) OPi R1 configuration against the working OPi Zero and couldnt find a difference for 1c30000-ethernet. But I have the same flaky ethernet on a NanoPi Neo and Sunvell R69 - they are all Allwinner H2(+)/H3(?) Boards. All other boards like H5 (Neo2, K1Plus) , S905 (Odroid C2), RPi and M2 Berry doesnt got this problem - and also some normal PC do work fine on my cables/hubs.

That was a fast fix, which worked fine System diagnosis information has been uploaded to http://ix.io/2L2u @IgorDo you think there could also such a problem in the ethernet-phy-definition possbile with the OPi R1 (nonPlus)? With the last images I have the problem, that eth0 (wired to the soc) does go on and off and cant be used. The second ethernetport which is wired via USB is working for me. Is there any bootlog/dmesg where I can check this myself or can you take a quick look into the OPi R1 .dtb/dts?

the last weeks I did read about some SBCs not having a ethernet-connection after update. This time I got this with update from 5.10.3-dev to 5.10.4-dev with armbian buster I had the Network-Manager deinstalled and did see my IP which I did configure via /etc/networks but couldnt arrive the K1Plus via ssh/ping and when I used a TTL-RS232 on the K1Plus I cant ping anything in my network or the internet. But dmesg did say the networkport eth0 is up (yellow and green led are also did "work") dwmac-sun8i 1c30000.ethernet eth0: Link is Up - 100Mbps/Full - flow control rx/tx To switch back to a older kernel I had to configure wlan0, but eth0 keept the old IP and seems also did get a DHCP-IP from my IP-Range, so I had also to ifconfig eth0 down Now with wlan0 up I did switch back to kernel 5.10.0-rc7-sunxi64 via armbian-config. After this reconfiguration and a reboot eth0 does work again Without network I did a armbianmonitor -U - the result has been attached here and after the network reconfiguration I did a armbianmonitor -u : System diagnosis information will now be uploaded to http://ix.io/2KY5 armbianmonitor_offline.txt

Yesterday 1 of my 3 NanoPi Neo2 didnt boot complete anymore. Because I had i the last time - I thought that the internal 2.5" HDD has died and couldnt mounted anymore from /etc/fstab Today I checked the 2.5" HDD externally and its fine So I connected a TTL-RS232 for the boot-output and did get: Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done. Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done. Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done. Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done. Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done. done. Gave up waiting for root file system device. Common problems: - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?) - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) ALERT! UUID=47f29e2a-b4bd-451d-88 does not exist. Dropping to a shell! (initramfs) The NanoPi Neo2 isnt finding the UUID for the root-filesystem = my sdcard? I did pu the card in a reader on my other NanoPi Neo2 and used blkid to check the UUID - and did get: /dev/sdb1: UUID="47f29e2a-b4bd-451d-88a9-35998f669cd1" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="53e18e13-01" in /etc/fstab there is UUID=47f29e2a-b4bd-451d-88 and here at the "remote" system UUID=47f29e2a-b4bd-451d-88a9-35998f669cd1 Why and when has this UUID extended/expanded (and why isnt it booting with the short version?)? So I did put the new/longer UUID for root in the /etc/fstab on the sdcard and put it back in the half-booting NanoPi Neo2. armbianmonitor -u System diagnosis information has been uploaded to http://ix.io/2KOz Now this Neo2 is booting fine. Should I check my other 2 Neo2 and compare blkid to the /etc/fstab ? On my second (512MB) Neo2 I got the same long UUID for root: UUID=47f29e2a-b4bd-451d-88a9-35998f669cd1 / ext4 defaults,noatime,nodiratime,commit=600,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/mmcblk0p1: UUID="47f29e2a-b4bd-451d-88a9-35998f669cd1" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="53e18e13-01" but on my third (1GB LTS) Neo2 the UUIDs didnt match and it DOES boot and mount root: UUID=47f29e2a-b4bd-451d-88a9-35998f669cd1 / ext4 defaults,noatime,nodiratime,commit=600,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/mmcblk0p1: UUID="4e972167-ea53-4c61-9d49-a67b1f839f5f" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="d2f285f3-01" [EDIT] edited /etc/fstab to 4e972167-ea53-4c61-9d49-a67b1f839f5f as seen in blkid and it boots also perfect (maybe a differnt u-boot in "flash"?) System diagnosis information has been uploaded to http://ix.io/2KON Is it normal that all 3 Neo2 got 47f29e2a-b4bd-451d-88a9-35998f669cd1 as root-UUID? (UUID of the flash image - should this change after resize?) The 1GB Neo2 does use a Focal-dev-image and the other use a Buster-dev-image.

@Igor zsh itself doesnt seem to affect a "very low" memory-sbc (only zsh-common installled) - and OK its not armbian but pure debian

@Igorin means of MegaByte - how much is zsh bigger? I dont think another shell does use more CPU-power? or only while typing in the command? from the 60-pages presentation: zsh-syntax-highlighting (page 56) HMM: as bash-replacement my colored (ansi-escape-sequences) prompt doenst work in ~/.zshrc How have I to convert that?

just an idea.... you could try to (because wlan0 is renamed to wlxe84e06870185 ) disable power-save for your wifi-device: iw dev wlxe84e06870185 set power_save off

Does your router have a free DHCP-lease for your OPi3 or did you configure a static IP via nmtui? please provide a log-link for the command armbianmonitor -u

@jeyjey For supported SBCs the easiest way to get minimal or server-only images of armbian is to setup a own armbian-buil-system on a 64bit Ubuntu or a VM: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ with the armbian-build-system you will have a menu driven selection if you want to create a image for the type minimal, server or desktop you can select between ubuntu and debian flavour of armbian and the version of ubuntu or debian...as long your SBC is supported by armbian.

change of .dtb (activating 1c22000) & creating overlay (armbian-add-overlay ./sun8i-h3-I2S-out.dts) does also work on uname -a Linux npi-neo-25 5.10.0-sunxi #trunk SMP Wed Dec 16 17:45:03 +03 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux package bsp-kernel[21.02.0-trunk] u-boot[21.02.0-trunk] dtb [21.02.0-trunk] firmware [21.02.0-trunk] config[21.02.0-trunk] branch[dev] like before on kernel 5.9.0

Heureka Today I compiled kernel 5.10.0 (no rc) for the NanoPi Neo2 and now it works agan with my Neo2 and Ubuntu focal where it did work before only with debian buster but also with 5.10.0 rc2 - rc7 The sambsa-server from focal also work with the final 5.10.0 without problems System diagnosis information has been uploaded to http://ix.io/2IjU

via SSH? when I try this I do get there "Loading keyboard submodule ..." and then it will fall back to the personal menu - but it works when Iam directly connected via TTL-serial

This image does boot for me and I can use it after generating locales. This does also work for the newer image Armbian_21.02.0-trunk_Orangepizero_buster_current_5.8.16 and Armbian_21.02.0-trunk_Orangepizero_buster_current_5.9.11 @Igor BTW: Is there a chance to change the following behavior? (why is armbian - like many webpages on the world- thinking I want a TR locales only because Iam in turkey? ) - I want to select a de_DE.UTF-8 or a en_US.UTF-8 - I want a german keyboard - and why we cant change the locale keyboard in armbian-config via a ssh-sesssion? Detected timezone: Europe/Istanbul (+03, +0300) At your location, more locales are possible: 1) ku_TR.UTF-8 2) tr_TR.UTF-8 Please enter your choice:2 Generating locales: tr_TR.UTF-8 Adding console keyboard layout: tr

it seems to be only for a memory-remap function and not for the whole system

looks like a problem with the DHCP-Server - so your sbc isnt getting an DHCP-IP but also get a timeout from the DHCP-transaction.

seems to tbe a problem on devices with A64-CPU We got the "same" problem with Pine64 and the NanoPi A64 Maybe you could get a idea for a solution by checking the attached .dts for the NanoPi A64 in this message?:
