[Armbian for tv box Z28]

On next weeks I'm going to have a Z28 RK3328 Quad Core 2GB RAM 16GB https://www.banggood.com/Z28-RK3328-Quad-Core-2GB-RAM-16GB-ROM-Android-7_1-2_4G-WiFi-100M-LAN-4Kx2K-60fps-H_265-HEVC-Android-p-1133993.html?cur_warehouse=CN

I´ll try to test armbian on this.
Finger cross.

Is impossible, if you want KODI keep using the Android provided by the vendor is not the last version but is usable.

[Tritium - new board from Libre Computer creators of Le Potato]

Some time Raspberry Pi will move to USB-C and everybody will do.

An eMMC module standard can be another game changer.

And of course, except you guys, nobody is putting a serious effort on improve the OS side of this computer board world.

... but GPIO x 26 not 40?

[Tritium - new board from Libre Computer creators of Le Potato]

Tritium is a set of boards based on Allwinners H2+, H3 and H5 from Libre Computer creators of Le Potato.

Opinions? Hopes?

Any question about cpu performance.

Running sysbench test (only for basic stress the borad) I find the CPU info only reach 648MHz and a marginal 0.04% at 1,01GHz  with interactive governor.

 

Is this the normal behavior or it can reach high frequencies during more time?

At least this is understandable on the surface - apt-update is running in the background automatically when the board starts the first time.

OK, sorry for this mistake.

[H2: Sunvell R69 Android TV Box (AliExpress)]

Some minor issues related to @tkaiser armbian image, both of then:

• lock the /var/dpkg after first apt update , so I need to manually fix before run apt upgrade
• I can't make the system boot directly to armbian, I need to start Android -> insert the uSD card with armbian > go to a Terminal previously installed on Android > switch to root user (my device is factory rooted) > reboot
• I configure the screen using h3disp with 1080p60 as I use with other boards. With the Desktop image, the tty are 1080p  and Ok but the Desktop is recognized by the TV as an 1080p but only room 3/4 of the screen.

Today, I received my Sunvell R69 and complete basic info on Sunxi page, including pictures.

From Desktop image provided by @tkaiser the eMMC can be browsed, ¿any petition?

 

[H2: Sunvell R69 Android TV Box (AliExpress)]

OK, I try to update Sunxi page this evenig. So many tanks!

[H2: Sunvell R69 Android TV Box (AliExpress)]

OK, I started the Sunxi wiki page ... http://linux-sunxi.org/Sunvell_R69

Is a pice of crap, yes I know.

Hi @guidol may I use your board images in the wiki?

Anyone interested in sent me info to fill the info.

Thanks!!

Any chance of having Official support for this board?

thanks

[Installing FTP server bananaPi M1]

OK, following commands was never tested on my armbian boards but I used long time ago on Raspberry Pi with Raspbian:

sudo apt-get install vsftpd

Edit and config the server:

sudo nano /etc/vsftpd.conf

Uncomment this lines:

local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES

Save the changes and restart the server:

sudo service vsftpd restart

Now you maybe can connect to the insecure ftp server using:

the IP of your armbian machine

the user and password you configure in the first run.

 

Here you can found more info about vsftpd: https://itsfoss.com/set-ftp-server-linux/

 

[Installing FTP server bananaPi M1]

If you have SSH enabled you have sFTP installed and ready to use. Check if yo can reach ftp://your-server:22 (don't forget to add the 22 port at the end because is dfferent form normal FTP port, the 21).

[Docker not starting after installation]

Maybe Balena www.balena.io has a better support for your board.

I preffer Lakka.tv:

[BananaPro won't power off]

I use the OMV armbian based images from @tkaiser and I don't have this problem. The system always power off correctly and I have active the ethernet and the wireless connection simultaneously. The link to the images is http://kaiser-edv.de/tmp/NumpU8/ 

[rk3066:Issue configuring X over fbdev]

No, my kernel is 3.0.8+ older than galland version.

I saw the new merged commit to the mainline but I'm not considering to spend time compiling or whatever. The boards works for me and ... if it works you don't  need to fix it.

This evening or tomorrow I try to copy xorg.conf and share in paste.bin but I don't have a clear idea about the conf because I don't want to mingle with my config files: https://askubuntu.com/questions/4662/where-is-the-x-org-config-file-how-do-i-configure-x-there

Can you specify what files do you want?

[rk3066:Issue configuring X over fbdev]

I have a UG802 running Ubuntu 14.04 at full screen without problems in this post you can see my uname : https://raspberryparatorpes.net/rivales/no-mas-actualizaciones-para-ug802-rk3066-picuntu/

I can't update to 16.04 because the old smelly kernel.

Almost forgot: Software support efforts needed for HC1 (or the other variants MC1 or HC2) are zero since Hardkernel kept everything 100% compatible to ODROID XU4

kudos for hardkernel !!!
... and of course to @tkaiser thanks for sharing this mini review.

To be honest, it has helped less

OK, TL;DR;

An UAS or UASP capable USB interface like these: http://amzn.to/2vmQVq7 can bring you performance near to the SATA but using USB3 and in most cases USB2. But you need a proper driver or be included in the mainline kernel, as occurs with armbian.
