Commit for the 5.3.y switch is now done !
 
https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/a00375179bbc27bac4b39927133578a3f2dae383
 

Fortunately, I've fixed the 8189fs crashes with the help of @Icenowy commit from here : https://github.com/jwrdegoede/rtl8189ES_linux/commit/50da9756282edf5008a5a567275b33c1d2f16197
Armbian is using a static copy of those drivers (8189fs but also 8723cs), so, maybe in the future, we should use @jwrdegoede directly with cloning ...
 

Thanks a lot ...!!!  to both  lgor and guidol. It is working  with this image :
https://dl.armbian.com/lime2/archive/Armbian_5.90_Lime2_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.19.57.7z.  

how long did you wait?
what kind of monitor dis you use?
or serial console?
how fast is your sdcard?
what kind of powersupply did you use?

You can try to change Armbian config/sources/sunxi_common.inc file to point to Megous branch 5.3, but be aware that maybe several current patches won't be apply properly ...

link doenst work, so please try this git command:
 
git clone -b A3700_utils-armada-17.10 https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/A3700-utils-marvell.git  

Fine that it worked. 
So armbian is using the network-manager you can also use the command nmtui to configure your network devices
(BUT keep in mind to enter the networkadress for eth0/wlan0 like 192.168.6.76/24)
 
Welcome to armbian

I did this and now I get console output! But I'm still not sure of how to fix the ssh problem.

this solution is said to work regardless of which distro:  systemctl set-default multi-user.target
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/264393/how-to-disable-x-server-autostart-in-debian-jessie
 
root@tinkerboard:~# systemctl set-default multi-user.target Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/default.target to /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.  

I've done a build Meson64-DEV with 5.2.y ...
I will commit the switch as soon as runtime test succeded !
 

Actually missing } in line 69... I have already informed @Igor via git comment

Today @Igor has merged correction that address wrong DNS server address setup. Maybe that helped you

Hi,
 
BUILD_MINIMAL is now implemented in separate branch.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 675282944 Jul 20 08:42 Armbian_5.91_Rock64_Ubuntu_bionic_default_4.4.184_minimal.img First of all I had to correct error in rootfs hash creation. In  similar way to yours.
I have also added --variant=minbase to debootstrap.
 
PR is now visible.
 
I will continue to test the changes.

I would say we need to introduce new variable BUILD_MINIMAL="yes" or BUILD_CORE="yes" which will result in new image as: Armbian_5.59_Bananapi_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_minimal.7z
few hints:
Here, https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/lib/configuration.sh#L131-L163 after each section you add if BUILD_MINIMAL then those packages
https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/lib/configuration.sh#L164-L211
you define DEBOOTSTRAP_COMPONENTS and additional packages for each release
 
Actual debootstrap starts here: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/lib/debootstrap.sh#L134

Fine
actually I did compile also for the OPi One and it worked fine - without the Network-Manager error - like on the OPi PC2 and the NanoPi K1 Plus.

rootfs was updated https://dl.armbian.com/_rootfs/ so it should be fine now.

This issue resolved itself with a new rootfs during build.

I think I will try this tomorrow - now its time for sleep  Good N8

actual - where jessie has been archived - you should start with the following /etc/apt/sources.list:
 
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org jessie/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org jessie/updates main contrib non-free and enter the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
 
then change the content of /etc/apt/sources.list to:
 
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib non-free deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian stretch-updates main contrib non-free deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free then redo:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
 
and after that for cleanup:
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
 
You have to check that there is no other sources-list or another package-list in the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d

Commits for the switching to 5.2.y is now done !
(Hoping I didn't forget too much ... Still few patches to fix, such as startup logo, but it is not an hurry ...)
 

Since the two last days, I'm working on switching SUNXI-DEV to 5.2.y ...
I'm almost done, tested few of my boards, I will do more boards and probably commit my work tomorrow !
 

because of some value changes for buster updates via apt (or buster going stable)

If you only do (like me) a apt update in a update-script - the script will  throw an error (because of the missing acceptance) and didnt load the new package-list
 
A apt update -y will do the trick in the script or you have to start it once manually and accept with Y
 
 
 

Thank you. It works now that I've connected TX <-> RX & RX <-> TX.
 
That's incredibly embarrassing. None of the SOC guides I followed mentioned which pins to link.

Hello!
 
I am just trying to set up Armbian Buster on my Banana Pi and I am experiencing a strange problem with the keyboard settings: I choose de-UTF8 for system wide locale and system wide language, I set the keyboard to German, but still I couldn't type umlaute (öäü). If I typed "ä", nothing happens. If I typed "ü", it retrieved commands from the bash history, that I typed in earlier. If I typed ö", the input line displayed
 
(arg: 6)  
After long search I finally found a kind of solution: if I uncomment this line in /etc/inputrc:
 
# set convert-meta off  
I can type "öäü", but now I also can delete as many characters from the prompt as I typed in, when I press BACKSPACE. For example the normal prompt says
 
root@bananapi:~#  
Next I type "äöü"
 
root@bananapi:~#öäü  
Now, when I type BACKSPACE 5 times, the prompt looks like this:
 
root@bananapi:  
If I type "öäü" again, and press BACKSPACE 3 times, the line looks like this:
 
root@banana  
This is funny, but at least the "umlaute" are working now.
