    Orange Pi Zero NAS Expansion Board with SATA & mSATA

    in Orange Pi Zero

    Posted

    The JMS578 is only an USB-to-SATA bridge making use of some SPI flash and containing voltage regulators (1.2V and 3.3V -- the latter necessary for mSATA). But there's no hub. Steven mentioned USB would be multiplexed (so maybe if you use only a mSATA SSD you get USB on the left USB jack and when using only the SATA port the right USB jack exposes the respective signals?)

     

    BTW: There's is also some information/speculation in the other thread: https://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/2808-orange-pi-zero-went-to-the-market/?p=23532

    OK, thanks. You discover to me in other post the boards using USB to SATA converter and the bad decision of buying this cheat way of having SATA connections.

    More proper testing - better Armbian experience

    Back to topic. We finally manage to establish and test a system, which should help conduct the process of testing. First stage is to fill out as much boards as possible. You will get actual call for testing once in next 1-2 weeks and than at next release ..., when we decide to move release in its testing phase. But now we need to know who will actually step in.

     

    @jeanrhum @wildcat_paris @mrneilypops @Zammy @manuti @Nixes @Jimmy Belanger - you all were saying something in this post :)

    ... and of course anyone, that has spare board, time and wish for doing this.

    Really proud to be part of this!

     

    I have OPiOne, OPiLite and Beelink X2 with on-board Wi-Fi RTL8189ES. 

    I think in test Beelink X2 because the OPiOne and Lite are quite popular but if at the end of this recruitment these boards are orphans I can addopt another one.

    Wifi Access Point

    in Allwinner sunxi

    Maybe you can use an Omega2 board because is an access point hardware with a router oriented OS, openwrt, and is cheap and is configured as access point by default.

    Also the C.H.I.P. board has an on-board Wi-Fi with a decent community and a lot of tutorials explaining how to configure as access point, including the capability of run by battery.

    XFCE in Spanish or any other language

    In the end you always had in Spanish the system and the desk.

     

    Manuti, al final conseguiste tenerlo siempre en castellano el sistema y el escritorio.

     

    Yes. is completely and always in Spanish, the XFCE GUI and the Terminal. You can check here https://raspberryparatorpes.net/comandos/armbian-en-espaol/ but I repeat also just below.

     

    The steps are:

     

    1. Remove and reinstall the locales from the Terminal / console / CLI:

    sudo apt-get purge locales
sudo apt-get install locales

    2. Configure the locales choosing Spanish, es_ES UTF-8:

    sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

    3. Confirm that everything is OK using locale command:

    locale

    If some line is not es_ES.UTF-8 you must change doing:

    export LANGUAGE=es_ES.UTF-8 
export LANG=es_ES.UTF-8

    4. And after that regenerate the locales:

    sudo locale-gen es_ES.UTF-8

    5. And finally install the language pack for the common apps like LibreOffice and Firefox:

    sudo apt-get install libreoffice-help-es libreoffice-l10n-es firefox-l10n-es-es

    How to check temperature of OrangePi PC

    in Allwinner sunxi

    Posted

    That is so Kool.  but is does lead me to question is a CPU core temperature of 62 degrees too hot?

    Yes, the Orange Pi normally run hot, but is normal and using a passive heatsink is enough to keep temperature in a reasonable range.

    These are recommended by @tkaiser https://es.aliexpress.com/item/10PCS-Lot-Computer-Xbox360-PS-VGA-Graphics-Card-DDR-RAM-Video-Memory-Cooling-Cooler-Aluminum-Heatsink/32229488356.html?detailNewVersion=&categoryId=708041

    To get cpufreq-info, temperature and throttling you need a kernel that has the patches for these drivers. The beta currently is still build with a kernel that doesn't have these patches. You can build your own kernel / image which do include these patches. https://github.com/megous/linux

     

    I've build my own image with this kernel and it's running nicely, with throttling, temperature/cpufreq readout and btrfs. When these patches either get mainline, or integrated in the armbian build system for the beta the One/Zero boards can run 4.9 kernel as well.

    Thanks for the info, is to much for me by now.

    I can wait for a mainline kernel with patches for the Orange Pi One.

    I tested Orange Pi PC on Orange Pi One, I don't know if this is useful:

    uname -a shows:

    orangepipc 4.9.0-sun8i #56 SMP Wed Nov 23 01:04:34 CET 2016 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux

    armbianmonitor - u uploaded data to : http://sprunge.us/UPAE

     

    I don't know if you also want such format for feedback, but here it is:

     

    Card                        Boot         Network         HDMI         Install         Date                  Performed by
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Orange Pi One        yes             yes               no               yes            25.11.2016        manuti

     

    I update the image and install docker from the default repositories, in the webpage from armbianmonitor I can't see the temperature and of course the HDMI is not working.

    Geany: cannot open display

    in Allwinner sunxi

    Posted

    Thanks! I tested the desktop version. It works :)))

    However when I connect with SSH client and give startx, I can't see it (desktop) in the SSH client. Is it possible to see it in the client at all?

    Connecting from a Linux system you can use: 

    ssh -X user@ip_address

    and then launch the app, for example: 

    geany &

    See this video to see how this thing works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYhxqWmQqNE

     

    If you connect from a Mac or Windows is a good idea install XRDP and connect by Microsoft remote desktop (from Mac store) or included in Windows:

    sudo apt-get install xrdp tightvncserver
