  1. Eventually the changes above to my interfaces file did have the effect of setting the MAC address and getting a consistent IP address upon reboot of the device. For the first couple of reboots it was inconsistent but now it is. I can't explain this specific behavior but I'm happy it is working now.
  2. Wow this board looks really promising. And the form-factor is so tiny! I will definitely order one for testing - thanks so much for the info!
  3. Yeah my name is definitely a reference to Datsun vehicles. I own several of them and a few Nissan's too. Based on your posts around the forum you seem like you're a fan of the Amlogic stuff. Is Le Potato at the forefront power-wise around the $35 price point or is there something comparable? The rockchip devices all seem to be significantly above that price.
  4. That's fairly interesting. I can't quite accommodate something quite that tall but I can probably get close. I know you made that one by cutting up a larger heatsink but do you have any suggestions that might be commercially available? Is there a heatsink manufacturer with a good reputation I should be looking at? I know the materials used ha a big affect on the effectiveness. Also on your other point about the Blob - does that mean there is more CPU power potential that is currently locked away to keep the temperature down?
  5. Were you ever able to complete your testing? I am interested in passive cooling options for my Le Potato boards. My current setup is rack mounted with no cases and I would prefer to stay with a heatsink unless fans are much more effective. I don't want more power draw from the fans if I can avoid it.
  6. For my application, my LePotato is outperforming my raspberry pi 3bs and 3b+ by a very large margin. All my pis are running pi64 lite so maybe some of the gains are being realized by running armbian instead but I am very impressed with the LePotato so far. Is there any other SBC that does even better around the $35 price point or is the LePotato leading the pack right now? My application is CPU intensive and not memory intensive.
  7. I was able to source some info from googling but it's for other linux distros. The total contents of my interfaces file looks like this now: source /etc/network/interfaces.d/* auto eth0 iface eth0 inet manual hwaddress ether DE:DE:DE:DE:DE:01 After my first reboot if I scan for IPs I do get one with that MAC address. Then when I connect to it and reboot again I end up with a new MAC address and IP. My goal is to permanently set the MAC address and get a consistent IP address to connect to as well. If the IP changes occasionally that isn't a problem but I don't want it to reset on every reboot.
  8. I'm finding that my LePotato is resetting it's IP address on reboot. Is this normal behavior for this board and/or Armbian? Is there a way to stop that from happening?
  9. Aside from the difference in memory (1GB/2GB), are there any other hardware differences between the two LePotato models? If I am using the LePotato for CPU intensive work that is not at all memory intensive can I expect similar performance between the two boards?
  10. I just got my lepotato up and running with Armbian and I have a noobish question. Does this board need a heatsink or fan or am I ok to run it without? Does the board automatically throttle performance if it starts getting too hot to allow itself to cool down?
