    Heisath reacted to Pali in MVEBU - Clearfog PCIe struggles   
    Hello @Heisath! This is known problem. QCA98xx wifi chips are buggy, have timing and detection issues related to PCIe, which Qualcomm confirmed. Qualcomm recommendation is to increase PCIe pulse detection and for some (x86) motherboards, vendors released a new BIOS which do it. To make it worse, Marvell A38x SoC has also buggy PCIe which cause other issues and therefore combination of QCA98xx and A38x cause even more issues.
     
    I'm preparing patches for pci-mvebu.c kernel driver to fix some issues, but they are not ready yet.
     
    For QCA98xx I have prepared patch which are currently on linux-pci mailing list: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20210505163357.16012-1-pali@kernel.org/
     
    Could you test it and check if it helps with new kernel versions?

    Heisath reacted to tparys in initramfs-tools not fully installed on Debian Stretch with Armbian Linux 4.19.56-mvebu64   
    EspressoBin is currently in CSC support, so best to submit bugs/questions in in Peer to Peer Support.
     
    Also need to submit armbianmonitor output. It seems dumb, but there's a lot of necessary information in there.
     
     
    However, in this case, it tells you exactly what died. You've somehow uninstalled busybox (directly or indirectly), and initramfs-tools can't work properly without it.
     
     
    Not advisable. The initramfs-tools package generates the initrd file for the kernel, which is generally a required part of the boot process. You'll want to get this fixed, and probably not reboot in the meantime until you do.

    Heisath got a reaction from gounthar in How would you implement a super precise clock with a board running Armbian?   
    Hi,
     
    how long does the time have to stay within the 1/60th of a second requirement? Minutes? Hours?
     
    I think there are tutorials out there on how to use common GPS modules (ebay search for raspi gps gives some), most of the ublox ones also have a rather precise timing output. From the website (ublox) it seems the also sell modules explicitly made for time synchro.
    Depending on how long you want to keep the devices in sync it might be acceptable to only sync them before you start filming (?) and have the device clock continue when gps goes away. 
     
    If a really precise clock is required I would maybe turn away from SBCs (boards with multithread, multiprocessors) have a tendency to have problems with jitter (obv. reasons).   If you need a precise time (as in your link) I'd suggest going for a simple microcontroller. There you can grab the GPS signal once, and then setup an internal timer - which are pretty precise considering the micro does only a thing at a time (if you go for cheap AVR ones). Afterwards just have the timer run out every 1/60th of a second and toggle a IO pin. Time reference done.
     
    EDIT: Bonus: If you are in Europe (although other regions probably have similar services) you could also use DCF77 to do the initial sync.

    might need to do 
    sudo ncdu -x /  
    Then you can navigate through a tree-view, and figure out where the size comes from. 
     
    As a general step-by-step guide:
    - use "df -h" (or something like that), to figure out which device / mountpoint is getting full
    user@builder:~$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on tmpfs 1,6G 1,2M 1,6G 1% /run /dev/sda3 79G 31G 44G 41% / tmpfs 7,9G 0 7,9G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 5,0M 0 5,0M 0% /run/lock tmpfs 4,0M 0 4,0M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/sda2 94M 5,2M 89M 6% /boot/efi tmpfs 1,6G 136K 1,6G 1% /run/user/1000 We now know, /dev/sda3 is fullest, and is mounted on /
     
    - next use "sudo ncdu -x /" to check the contents / where the space goes:
    ncdu 1.15.1 ~ Use the arrow keys to navigate, press ? for help --- / -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17,2 GiB [##########] /home 8,5 GiB [#### ] /usr 2,0 GiB [# ] swapfile 1,0 GiB [ ] /var 760,0 MiB [ ] /root 508,4 MiB [ ] /opt 251,1 MiB [ ] /boot 11,6 MiB [ ] /etc 68,0 KiB [ ] /tmp 36,0 KiB [ ] /snap e 16,0 KiB [ ] /lost+found 8,0 KiB [ ] /media e 4,0 KiB [ ] /srv e 4,0 KiB [ ] /mnt e 4,0 KiB [ ] /cdrom @ 0,0 B [ ] libx32 @ 0,0 B [ ] lib64 @ 0,0 B [ ] lib32 @ 0,0 B [ ] sbin @ 0,0 B [ ] lib @ 0,0 B [ ] bin Total disk usage: 30,1 GiB Apparent size: 28,8 GiB Items: 789697 We see that most storage goes to /home, /usr and the swapfile.
     
    As the interface is interactive, you can just navigate down the folder structure to find the culprit.

    Just to clarify, was this a problem with 21.05.1 or IS it still a problem with 21.05.2? 
    If it is still active problem, we should seek to do a Pullrequest to fully fix it in the buildsystem.

    Heisath reacted to tparys in I want to use the arduino board to detect the distance in three directions at once   
    Not that I have experience with these sensors, but looks like the general flow is this:
    hit the sensor with a pulse (low/high) count cycles until a response (pulseIn) As it's a microcontroller, pulseIn will probably not return until there is a response. The second call to pulseIn() probably starts counting after you're done printing the value from the first. Considering your output pulses happen within 2-10 ms of each other, I bet this happens:
     
    digitalWrite(center_Trig, LOW); digitalWrite(right_Trig, LOW); a=pulseIn(left_Echo, HIGH) / 58.00; Serial.println(a); // <- 2nd, 3rd echos arrive here b=pulseIn(center_Echo, HIGH) / 58.00; // <- timeout Serial.println(b); c=pulseIn(right_Echo, HIGH) / 58.00; // <- timeout Serial.println(c);  
    Maybe pulse the second sensor after you're done reading the return from the first? Then the third when the second is done?

    Heisath got a reaction from tparys in I want to use the arduino board to detect the distance in three directions at once   
    To add to @tparysexcellent answer:
     
    The original code with commented problems:
     
    const int left_Trig = 1; const int left_Echo = 2; const int center_Trig = 3; const int center_Echo = 4; const int right_Trig = 5; const int right_Echo = 6; float a; float b; float c; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); pinMode(left_Trig, OUTPUT); pinMode(center_Trig, OUTPUT); pinMode(right_Trig, OUTPUT); pinMode(left_Echo, INPUT); pinMode(center_Echo, INPUT); pinMode(right_Echo, INPUT); Serial.println("Ultrasonic sensor:"); } void loop() { digitalWrite(left_Trig, LOW); delayMicroseconds(2); digitalWrite(center_Trig, LOW); delayMicroseconds(2); digitalWrite(right_Trig, LOW); delayMicroseconds(2); // Why the delay when turning them all off? Why not just turn all low at the same time? digitalWrite(left_Trig, HIGH); delayMicroseconds(10); digitalWrite(center_Trig, HIGH); delayMicroseconds(10); digitalWrite(right_Trig, HIGH); delayMicroseconds(10); // Delay after turning each one on, guarantees at this point the left one was on for 30µs already, the center for 20µs and the right one for 10µs that cant be right? // maybe again turn them all on, then wait 10µs? digitalWrite(left_Trig, LOW); digitalWrite(center_Trig, LOW); digitalWrite(right_Trig, LOW); // this seems ok a = pulseIn(left_Echo, HIGH) / 58.00; Serial.println(a); b = pulseIn(center_Echo, HIGH) / 58.00; Serial.println(b); c = pulseIn(right_Echo, HIGH) / 58.00; Serial.println(c); // this has problems because as tparys assumed pulseIn blocks. So the first pulseIn waits for the first echo, but then the second and so on might have been already missed! // https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/language/functions/advanced-io/pulsein/ a = (int(a * 100.0)) / 100.0; b = (int(b * 100.0)) / 100.0; c = (int(c * 100.0)) / 100.0; // not sure what you are trying to do here? Multiply by 100 then divide by 100 just gives 1. So might just scrap it? Serial.println(a); Serial.println(b); Serial.println(c); Serial.println(); delay(10); }  
     
    Improved code, using one function to get rid of duplication and read one sensor after the other:
    const int left_Trig = 1; const int left_Echo = 2; const int center_Trig = 3; const int center_Echo = 4; const int right_Trig = 5; const int right_Echo = 6; float a; float b; float c; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); pinMode(left_Trig, OUTPUT); pinMode(center_Trig, OUTPUT); pinMode(right_Trig, OUTPUT); pinMode(left_Echo, INPUT); pinMode(center_Echo, INPUT); pinMode(right_Echo, INPUT); Serial.println("Ultrasonic sensor:"); } void loop() { a = getEchoTime(left_Trig); // use a funtion here to get rid of the duplicate code b = getEchoTime(center_Trig); c = getEchoTime(right_Trig); Serial.println(a); Serial.println(b); Serial.println(c); Serial.println(); delay(10); } float getEchoTime(int channel) { digitalWrite(channel, LOW); delayMicroseconds(2); // turn channel of, and wait digitalWrite(channel, HIGH); delayMicroseconds(10); // turn channel on, then wait 10µs digitalWrite(channel, LOW); // turn off, total pulse time 10µs return pulseIn(channel + 1, HIGH) / 58.00; // use +1 here, as the echo channel seems to be trigger channel + 1 }

    An even better way would be to use interrupts (either external or pinchange) as this would allow you to fire the pulse and then do something else while waiting for the echo. I'm sure there are plenty of tutorials out there on how to read ultrasonic sensors in arduino without blocking.

    You can plug the circuit in some simulator (like falstad.com, LTSpice or similar) to check what the parameters do. 
    I did that for you here: https://tinyurl.com/yemxbzmt  As you guessed R6 in combination with LM358 B does work as a schmitt trigger.

    @pierre LED 8 is the power led, if nothing else shows (not even LED1 / 2 which are system / error) I'd assume your board is not even starting and your SD card might be corrupt. 
    For further debugging you'll need to attach a computer to the micro usb and listen with some serial terminal to the output (and post it here). Or you could burn another SD card and try with that one.
