    in case the adafruit people follow this one...
    enable i2c etc. can also be done with armbian-config, you don't even have to know how the overlays are named.. @martinayotte  spends quite some time to keep it working with it. even then.. please educate your users to read the related README.sunXi - it's not fun to explain again and again why ds18b20 on one-wire "doesn't work", whereas the proper question should be: how-to configure W1 on different pins. pip on debian is prone to mess up stuff (well in fact the user messes stuff up ), IMO a proper way is to use virtualenv (https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/) once you got fooled enough by lib dependencies which mess up your python installation on debian and you got it properly working on virtualenv you don't want to go back sudo i2cdetect -y 0 only for debug purposes - happened once to me that it messed with the pmic --> freeze (if I've it right in mind i2cdetect actually warns you that you shouldn't use it when devices are on the bus which are currently running.. check schematics if the wired out i2c aren't used for pmics as well it might lead in funny stuff happening ) if they still sell a bunch of their stuff for 5V and 3.3V (didn't follow adafruit boards for a while) tell your users that GPIOs and i2c on those boards are 3.3V, some 'tolerate' 5V by mistake but I wouldn't count on it.. (at least the W1 pin survived my last harakiri-attempt ) powered correctly and with the right SD card means a quality one for both ('my old phonecharger' is quite often not in this category, similarly: the cheapest SD-Card I found on aliexpress).. Otherwise threads of your users will quite often end here: https://forum.armbian.com/forum/31-sd-card-and-power-supply/  - spread the word Armbian (and the RPi guys since a while too) recommend etcher.io
    but one good thing: they link to their 10$ USB-UART cable It's a bit pricey but on this part they might become friends with the Canadians..

    Good news.
    New image with kernel 4.20 for Khadas EDGE, which is built using the official git Linux Next.
    It has HDMI, USB, SD and wired network.
    Thus, it is a full-fledged basic system.
     
     
    hmmm
    Added version "4.19.0-dev", it is built using the source code "ayufan". Video playback in it significantly slows down compared to the version collected from the official sources of Next Linux.

    It is extremely helpful that this is billed as a low-cost S905X.  What I've read so far just basically says it's a clocked down Meson GXL with a few missing hardware supports (Max 1 GB RAM, 1080p, simpler vdec, etc). So software support should be mainly the same drivers, just a sparser device tree (I'm obviously glossing over some specifics that could be theoretically be an issue, but this is nothing like using an all-new SoC).

    The Amlogic flash tools will be relevant when discussing La Frite as well, should we support it (I think the S805X is to the S905X what the H2+ is to the H3). I'll need to review their function (I actually plugged the eMMC in during boot of the SD to get it in a position where I could work with it the first time, not a fun task)

    Information in this topic is very outdated see this topic.
     
     
     
     
     
     
    The start system in Coreelec is not compatible with LibreELECE  Armbian  etc. If you run coreelec on your TV box, you will no longer be able to run LE and Armbian normally until the full recovery of the standard firmware via the USB Burn Tool and the new activation of the universal multi-boot, which is used in all new systems.
     
     
    The new version 5.55 of images. In this version, images with a single DE (XFCE) and a server in composition are as close as possible to the official versions. Version with a Mate and Icewm will probably be later and the gathering will be from another branch GIT (specially adapted for this DE). Since now all the images will be collected using the main kernel "4.1 x", have a common structure for the entire line of s9xxx and differ significantly in steps when configuring the system, I open a separate topic for this direction.

    https://mega.nz/#F!j9QSDQSQ!6WpasOlbZYIInfw6yo4phQ
     
    The primary steps to capture an image, activate multi-boot, and select a dtb file are common with the previous images.
     
     
    Please note that starting with the version number version 20180928.
    Major change. A new algorithm for the use of the dtb. Starting with this version, you no longer need to copy the dtb files and rename it to "dtb.img." In order to specify which dtb file to use, you need to edit the file 'uEnv.ini" (specify the desired file name for use dtb). This is a plain text file and can be easily edited. This change will make it easy to update the kernel from the "deb" file in the future. The new algorithm is now used in the eMMC system installation script.
     
    Be sure to activate multi-boot using the new image. If multiboot previously activated is required to repeat activation using files in a new image.
     
    Pay attention. To use the system with
    u-boot-2015 (regular firmware Android), you need to edit the file "uEnv.ini"
     
    When using
    u-boot-2018, you need to edit the file "/extlinux/extlinux.conf"
     
     
    For those who doubt or do not know what u-boot is used, you can specify the desired name in both files at the same time.
     
     
    To change the used MAC address.
     
    1 options
    You can add the required parameter to the startup files (uEnv.ini and extlinux.conf). To do this, at the end of the line with the launch parameters, you need to add a parameter specifying the desired MAC address.
    For example,
    mac=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx 
    or
    ethaddr=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

    Install Armbian to eMMC.
    1. Be sure to activate multi-boot using the new image. If multiboot previously activated is required to repeat activation using files in a new image.
    2. Run Armbian from external media, run "ddbr" and create full backup eMMC.
    3.  install Armbian on eMMC execute script “/root/install.sh”.
     
    Please note, this is a test installation, which was tested only on a few models. Possible errors (Armbian will not boot) when you are working on unverified models which used non-standard distribution of partitions in the eMMC. Therefore, be sure to back up the "ddbr" utility before running the scripts.

    The triple boot works like this: you modify the Android TV boot so that it checks the SD slot, the USB and finally the internal eMMC. Once this is done, if you turn on the computer with an SD or USB with the image of Armbian prepared by @balbes150 will be the partition that boots and from it you can choose Kodi or Linux Desktop, and if you do not place the SD then starts the Android serial.

    You can only use RPi (1-2-3) for video and audio if you already have RPI. Spending money now to buy PRi3 for multimedia content = this is the worst choice.  Look at Amlogic S905X2\D2 S922 or Rockchip RK3328 RK3399. Series RK32XX-outdated and not worth it to buy now.  If video playback is the main task (other tasks to run Linux are secondary), it is better to look for the TV box. You will get all the necessary components at once and do not have to spend time and money on the equipment (remote control, power supply, housing, good eMMC memory, etc.).  I have no LePotato with S905X, but I'm sure Libreelec (KODI) can work perfectly on this model.

    Care to provide numbers from a quick iozone benchmark as described here: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/954-sd-card-performance/?
     
    I tested some 'quality' pendrives last year and was highly disappointed about the performance after some time or usage. Nice performance when starting to use them but after some time or amounts of write performance really started to suck. The only 'pendrive' working flawlessly so far looks like this for me:

     

     
    A real M.2 SATA SSD with heatsinks to prevent overheating/throttling on a JMS578 adapter. Without heatsink and with enclosure closed also unusable since the SSD overheats too much (sequential transfers then drop from 400 MB/s to ~30 MB/s)
     
     
     
    Why should everybody have the same needs? Users might want to attach a HDD to the USB3 port then 'booting from USB3' is not an option any more as long as you want the HDD to spin down. Putting an USB hub between host and disk is always a great idea to introduce problems.

    I'll check that. I've used 7-zip to compare the Bpi-zero to the rpi zero/3b. But the versions are different. I think because of that the numbers aren't exactly comparable. But it is a lot better than most other tools.
    The best way for me is to use as many different programs. Some do better with 32-bit architecture, some better with 64-bit. Then take an average of all the results and your close.
    Any way of installing exactly the same version of 7zip on all sbc's?

    Orange Pi runs Armbian Linux. With little effort you'll find equivalent or most likely vastly superior replacements for 'simple Windows applications'..
    Emulating Windows on ARM is not a satisfactory experience, WINE is a tweaked emulated X86 WIN-environment and the Raspi infomercial you mention tries to sell you their proprietary version of it. QEMU is a possibility to install some WINDOWS 'Operating System' in a X86-emulator - it 'works' but you will hear your beard growing.

    The major difference between those three images is:
     
    Stretch : modern 4.x (14? 17?) kernel, based on Debian
    Bionic: modern 4.x (14? 17?) kernel, based on Ubuntu
     
    Xenial: legacy 3.4 kernel, based on Ubuntu
     
    The modern kernels are generally pretty-close-to-mainline linux, thanks to the hard work of the guys in the linux-sunxi group.
    Since not everything has been reverse-engineered, it doesn't (yet) support all the device features.
    h3consumption will not work with the modern kernels, so is not included
     
    The legacy kernel is based off a vendor-provided kernel that has been cleaned up and had a few dozen (hundred) security patches on top of it.
    It's based of the now end-of-life 3.4.y kernel tree that was initially released in 2012 and was marked end-of-life in 2016 following the final 3.4.113 update
    All the hardware should work with these kernels, but the anything that relies on a modern kernel (eg. btrfs) won't work, and you'll be missing the last 2 years of security/stability updates.
