You have two kernels which is a recipe for problems. Remove (old) one.Hi, can you please describe the process for removing the old one? Also, how can I update armbian-config's database to reflect a newer choice of Kernels in the 'switch kernel' section?
Thanks

I'm not sure what happened, but after running an apt-get upgrade recently, it bricked again.
Here is a serial dump:

Next I rebooted, ran apt-get update and upgrade and it found only one 176kb package which was a new DTB. I installed it and rebooted.
Everything's working fine.

You forget to install linux-dtb-next-sunxi package ... plug SD card somewhere and extract content of deb file and make a symlink from dtb -> dtb-5.0.13-sunxi (or whatever your version is).Thank you, that fixed it.
You need to boot into Linux on a computer with the SD card inserted into the computer you're booting from. The best way to do this is to download a distro that you can burn to a DVD. You then boot from the DVD when you restart your computer. I used kubuntu-19.04-desktop-amd64.iso.
Next, after you boot from the DVD, make sure your internet works (you will have to connect your WiFi in the Kubuntu desktop) and then you need to download the Armbian package that contains the DTB that corresponds to the kernel you updated to. In my case it was Kernel 4.19.38.
Open Firefox in Kubuntu, and navigate to https://apt.armbian.com/pool/main/l/
This is a list of directories. The directories you're interested in are the ones that are formatted as such: "linux"-(version)-"platform"
In my case, I needed to navigate into the "linux-4.19.38-sunxi" directory.
If you don't know or remember the kernel version you installed before your device was bricked, then look at the dates of the directories. In my case, I installed the latest kernel two or so days ago, and the date listed for 4.19.38 is 03-May-2019. The latest version isn't necessarily the newest version. Later beta versions can have a newer version number but an earlier date. I'm not sure how important this step is, but it's worth mentioning nevertheless. Make sure you also get the 32-bit version if your Linux install is 32-bit. In my case, the NanoPi Neo is strictly a 32-bit device, so there was no room for error there.
Next you need to download the correct .deb package from within the directory, in my case it was "linux-dtb-next-sunxi_5.83_armhf.deb". Firefox will by default save the file in "/Home/Downloads". For the purpost of this post, we'll use this directory as a reference. After the file finishes downloading, you can click 'Open Containing Folder' and it will open the directory. Now right-click on 'linux-dtb-next-sunxi_5.85_armhf.deb' and click 'extract here'. It will create a directry called 'linux-dtb-next-sunxi_5.85_armhf, open that directory. Right click on 'data.tar.xz' and click 'extract here'.
Next, you need to move this directory into the SD card, but depending on how you have the SD card connected to the computer, you may need root access. You should be able to do this without root if you have it connected to the computer through a SD to USB adapter. We'll be focusing on a scenario where root access is required.
You now need to open a terminal in Kubuntu. Click on the 6 dots at the bottom left corner of the screen, this opens up a screen of programs. On the right side, click on the second dot, this will display a second page of programs. You should see a program called 'Terminal'.
Click it, and this will open a terminal window. Type 'sudo passwd root'. Enter a password, and then again to confirm it. Next, type 'sudo -i'. You should now have root access. Now you need to move one of the subdirectories from the directory of the archive you extracted earlier to the boot directory of your SD card. First, you will need to go into the 'boot' directory of your Armbian Distro in your SD card. Don't confuse the 'boot' directory of the Kubuntu root directory for the one in your SD card.
To access the boot directory in your SD card type the following:
cd /media/ubuntuls
Now you should see a long string of numbers and letters, enter that directory. In my case, I need to enter:
cd 86e484d0-fa19-48d4-903a-a085a676e65b
cd boot
Now we need to move a directory from the archive you extracted earlier into the boot directory and then we need to create a symlink. Type the following:
mv ~/Downloads/linux-dtb-next-sunxi_5.85_armhf/data/boot/dtb-4.19.38-sunxi . (<-- the period after the space is important!)
ln -s dtb-4.19.38-sunxi dtb
Next type 'ls -l'
If you've done things correctly, you should see this entry in the resulting output:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 May 7 15:21 dtb -> dtb-4.19.38-sunxi/
To confirm, type 'cd dtb', then 'ls'. You should see a bunch of files.
If you do, type 'shutdown now'.
Put your SD card back into your device and boot it. If you did things properly and it now boots, SSH into it and run 'apt-get install linux-dtb-next-sunxi'
That installs some other stuff into the dtb directory that uboot complains about during boot. Not sure what they do, but it's probably a good thing to have.
You should be good to go. Good luck :-) -
So I did the following today:
Spoilersed -i /deb/s/jessie/stretch/g /etc/apt/sources.list $ sed -i /deb/s/jessie/stretch/g /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get dist-upgrade
Everything went fine except at the end where it complained about busybox not being there and it failed the update of initramfs... This was no issue. I installed busybox, rebooted, ran apt-get autoremove and then autoclean and everything worked fine. I was still on kernel 3.x, so I ran armbian-config but I did not see the latest kernel present in the switch kernel option.
I ran apt-get install linux-image.next.sunxi (or something similar) and it installed, so I then rebooted. Now it's bricked. I'm attaching the serial console output. Please help.

Thank you.

Can someone please tell me if I need a latency patch?
Here are my results:

and here's my current kernel:

Sounds good.
I locked myself out of Webmin last night and the SSH isn't accepting the default password, so I'll have to access it via serial console (It's not made perfectly clear in the documentation, but you need a serial to TTY converter for this to work). I already used the console for the initial install so I know that it works perfectly (Use something like ExtraPutty in UTF-8 mode to get a nice colorful console).
My next step will be to apply the latency kernel patches...
Thanks for mentioning armbian-config. I'll definitely have to install that, as it looks like it offers similar functionality to confconsole from Turnkey LAMP, and I was missing that.

I recently received my kit, which consists of the Neo, heatsink, and acrylic shell.
Installed Debian_jessie_default.7z with Etcher onto a Kingston SDCIT/8GBSP.
PCB 1.3+ uses a more sophisticated voltage regulator than earlier revisions... The temperature is excellent so far (only 40c). I can run some more tests if someone provides instructions.
So these boards do not in fact require a heavy copper plane for heat dissipation.
I did use a superior heat pad rather than the one that is provided with the heatsink kit. Ideally, you would want something like a 4mm or so copper shim with good quality thermal paste applied to both sides. I also considered thermally coupling the RAM to the heatsink but decided not to.
I am running Webmin with Apache and PHP for some very basic web server functionality (media relaying server).
All-in-all, I'd highly recommend the Neo if you need a simple headless server. This was my first experience with a development board, and it was a good one.
Cheers

Ok, the old one has been delete, everything works fine:
I noticed that the idle temperature has increased from around 39°C to 47°C from the old kernel/version to the new one. Could the heartbeat feature (blue led flashing) be causing that (this wasn't present in the last version)?
