No and no. If some progress is made you can follow here and here.

Origin: https://github.com/armbian/config/issues/120 Description: Recently our download mirrors were regrouped into continents. An option to select the best matching mirror group via code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } armbian-config would make it perfect.

Sadly needed measure to fight spam. You received a like. Your limit should lift within 24h.

Aside from all the unheard user wishes we decided to create a new dedicated room for specific tasks with defined clear goals. Topic creation is limited to collaborators.

You have to think more like somebody who has not that much knowledge. This form guides step by step. You dont have to keep track of your path in a chart. Also I think having it in that way it is also more user-friendly (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_Make_Me_Think). As stated I used Google forms for this implementation because it was handy, not because I like it much. Ideally there would be some kind of integration into our places where to post issues and this form needs to be used in order to be allowed to open a report. Have no clue about how to do that atm though

Lots of board have similar issues. Debt of compactness. Thankfully you can get adapters for cheap.

No idea which link you may have seen. Anyway here you can edit your newsletter preferences: https://forum.armbian.com/notifications/options/

We can consider once everything works again

AFAIK it is more important to have the clock fixed to a specific value. Does not necessarily need to be the highest clock available.

This did not happen with the old version?

This tells me everything I need to know.

Expanded the thing above a bit Working on a simple integration into google forms (since I could not find a better tool in time): https://forms.gle/YVtzksCf1wTzrnaY9 - Done. Took me an hour to put all the crap into the form but it seems to work.

Yes, it is the new version.

I think I have minor brain damage or something, does not want to work as straight and focused as I would like but I try to collect something anyways. Or this topic is so extensive that I don't know where to start...probably both I think one issue is the decentralization that evolved over the years. Forums (Boards, userspace and build script (Build framework forums)) Jira (read-only for the public) Github issues I know this makes partially sense since at least Github issues covering different topics. I will not go into more detail here. The point is that either try to centralize issue management in whatever way or create a better guidance for users where and how to report. I was thinking about some kind a Q&A forum that guides through. This will a) communicate info and b) reduce invalid bug reports (missing code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } armbianmonitor, upstream bugs, wrong forums/place....) Hi. This forum will guide you through all necessary steps to create a proper issue report at the right place containing all necessary information. It will also guide you through steps to do in advance to avoid trivial mistakes. Please read the steps careful and double-check your stuff. Avoidable issue reports due to negligence will be marked as invalid. Abusing will make your permission to create issues being revoked. Do you have an issue while building Armbian or with Armbian running on a single board computer? Issue building 1. Make sure you read the docs: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ 2. start over with a clean code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } git clone Also make sure to clear your ccache: code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } sudo ccache -C 3. if some download fail retry later once again before continuing 4. Go to https://github.com/armbian/build/issues/new and create an issue mentioning the information asked for in the issue template Issue running Where did you get the image you having issues with? Somewhere on the web (includes Armbian Forums!) Invalid bug report -> Unsupported image I built the image myself Invalid bug report -> Unsupported image from download.armbian.com Okay, were the image AND the board marked as supported? No, CSC, WIP or EOS Invalid bug report -> Unsupported image Yes, supported Does the board boot? No Watch the quick start video and read the documentation about preparing your sd card: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/ Properly power your board: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/4767-powering-through-micro-usb/ Try different power supply as well as different cable Hook up a serial console to your board to get an idea what is going on under the hood. When tinkering with development boards it is highly recommended to have an USB-UART adapter handy since it greatly increases the chance to debug boot issues. Issue reports lacking of serial info are not accepted! Read: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/5699-how-to-provide-and-interpret-debug-output/ Include serial console output, if any, in your topic you create here: https://forum.armbian.com/forum/36-board-doesnt-start/ Yes Run code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } armbianmonitor -u and copy the generated URL If you have issues with network use code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } armbianmonitor -U and copy the content an online paste service like https://paste.debian.net/ Issue reports without this information are considered invalid! Do you have an issue with a hardware function does not work properly (HDMI, SPI, USB...) Create a new topic describing your issue here: https://forum.armbian.com/forum/1-bug-tracker-supported-boards-only/ a software package I installed via apt/apt-get Userspace issue:https://forum.armbian.com/forum/25-common-issues-peer-to-peer-technical-support/ and so on...

Debian was always known to be rock-solid. Even their testing branch is usually working very well so feel free to give Bullseye a try. Or as workaround for you simply consider building transmission from source.

Thanks. Hopefully somebody like @martinayotte has a chance to play with the collected information and create some basic Armbian support with it

I split the topic at this point since I just wanted to showcase a bit what the software is capable of doing with a bit of playing. As stated and mentioned we already have multiple places for issues (which is an issue by itself but needs to be discussed in a/the other topic) and could at max replace the bug tracker forums here to get slightly more organized. But even that won't happen since the necessary license costs money and it is I think not worth atm if we dont consider do more with it like integrate the whole homepage as well as the docs into it which will most likely not happen either.

Armbian does not provide this package. It comes from upstream. So it might be wise to encourage Debian/Ubuntu to backport it to Buster/Focal. Or you use an Armbian flavor that ships version 3 with which would be Bullseye or Groovy.

Some first work on U-Boot: https://github.com/jernejsk/u-boot/commits/h616-v1

I did not expect that it will be used. Last but not least because we do not own the necessary software. This was done with a demo install from Invision.

This kind a bug tracker thingy has been created using the Pages feature of Invision (which we do no have atm). Just as an experiment.
