thanks a lot for the hint. my usage is headless too. no wifi no network-manager but maybe with usb sometimes. your blacklist would be great help.

Hi: I am new to Armbian Buster. I understand the legacy h3consumption is gone now. I wonder if I can do something similar under Armbian Buster like: 1. only allow 1 or 2 core 2. lower ram frequency 3. disable hdmi

Hi Werner & Igor: thanks a lot for the advice. now I understand Armbian buster will be my best choice. thanks again for your kindly help!!

Hi: I am using debian jessie on orange pi H3 boards and I am very satisfied with it. but I need to upgrade now since jessie is out of support. i want to upgrade to debian buster since my pi is using as a server without any display attached. but I wonder maybe there is something good I missed from ubuntu: like 10 years LTS support? or perhaps most developers are using ubuntu so it is more mature? just need some advice. thanks a lot!

yes debian jessie is still there. but the armbian jessie packages are gone. like "linux-image-sun8i_5.75_armhf.deb". I got some of them. I just hope I have last chance to sync these great packages.

hi: I have old allwinner H2/H3 boards which work very stable with armbian jessie. although I can still get debian jessie packages, I found armbian jessie packages are gone from apt.armbian.com. is there any place I can sync these armbian jessie packages? thanks a lot for your help!!

how about the temperature of the new orange pi zero LTS? orange pi zero ver 1.0 is cool. ver 1.4 and ver 1.5 are hot.

Hi: thanks a lot for your hint!! google "armbianEnv.txt" I learn a lot of things. BTW, I can use "extraargs" to add boot parameters now. thanks again for your kindly help.

Hi: sorry for asking it again. anybody know how to add boot parameter to legacy armbian 3.4? do I need to re-compile something to do the work? thanks a lot for help!!

Hi: I want to add "nowayout" watch dog parameter to my orange pi pc. I think the syntax should be "sunxi_wdt.nowayout=1". but I don't know how to add this to kernel boot parameter in armbian? is there a config file to add boot parameter? BTW I found if I shut down my orange pi PC normally, I can not restart it unless I unplug/plug the power cord. is this behavior expected? thanks a lot for help!!

Hi: sorry I don't have name. there are tones of converters in the market and they basically looks like the same. the new and old one both use SP3232EEN.

Hi: thanks for the hint. it is easier to do the test. today I got new converters and they are fine. I don't know what happened to my original converter. I saw some people said there are many fake chips which can only do 9600 bps. but since the new converter works fine, I don't want to bother what happened to my old converter. thanks for all the help!! now I can minicom my routers!

hi: I have tried to use UART1 to connect UART0 directly, and I can get login screen. so I think UART1 configuration is fine, at least TTL to TTL.

Hi: there is some difference in hardware. when I minicom from PC to SBC, the SBC is using UART0. when I minicom from SBC to router, the SBC is using UART1. I have test the router and it only need RX/TX/GND to work, no need for CTS/RTS/DTR/DSR. after more searching, I found maybe my converter is not good enough. so I ordered more converters to see if there is any difference. it will take two days to arrive so I can continue the experiment. thanks a lot for all the help! I will report the results later.

Hi: I tried 3.3V and 5V VCC. and I use wires to connect the pins one-by-one, so I can switch tx/rx at each side easily. since I can use the converter from RS323 to TTL, I think it is working. it just can not convert from TTL to RS232. after observation, I think one side of the converter is "tx,rx,gnd,vcc"(TTL) and the other side is "tx,rx,gnd"(RS232). maybe I should try more converters for testing. could anyone test his converter if control the router/switch via SBC works?
