The reason that the OPi1+ doesn't clock higher than 1,48 GHz with the recent kernel versions isnt (just) the cpu opp table itself,
the entries for 1,8 GHz (and even 1,6 GHz in 5.4.20) exist.
The problem is that in the DTB, the max microvolt value for dcdca or vdd-cpu is lower than what's needed for the cpu to switch to 1,6 GHz or higher.
 
dcdca { regulator-always-on; regulator-min-microvolt = <0xc5c10>; regulator-max-microvolt = <0x107ac0>; (1080 mV) regulator-name = "vdd-cpu"; phandle = <0x6>; } opp@1640000000 { opp-hz = <0x0 0x61c06a00>; opp-microvolt = <0x11b340 0x11b340 0x11b340>; (1160 mV) clock-latency-ns = <0x3b9b0>; }; opp@1800000000 { clock-latency-ns = <0x3b9b0>; opp-hz = <0x0 0x6b49d200>; opp-microvolt-speed0 = <0x11b340>; opp-microvolt-speed1 = <0x10c8e0>; (1100 mV) opp-microvolt-speed2 = <0x10c8e0>; }; I tried this myself with my OPi1+ with kernel 5.5.0 by raising regulator-max-microvolt to 0x11b340 (1160 mV) and it successfully clocked to 1,8 GHz. YMMV. Sorry if this has already been mentioned elsewhere.

Can't access others terminals, need to boot from sd and mount eMMC to see the logs.
 
The problem was missing/corrupted libwayland_egl.so, so lightdm was aborting (missing something like  wl_window_destroy), copied the working library from sd and now OK again.

I've started the work of switching SUNXI-DEV to 5.6.y, as usual, few DT duplicates and fixes ...
But I've faced also a big change related to 'file_operations' been changed to 'proc_ops' in all places over the kernel, which cause that all our EXTRAWIFI needs to be fixed.
I hope to get it done by the end of this evening ...
 

Aight, I was able to do some testing with the powerbank mentioned above and I guess I was lucky I did not kill my board with it.
An overview:

 
From the left to right.
First the SBC was powered by the powerbank with close to 5 volts.
Then I attached mains 5v to the powerbank and got a 9 volt spike which luckily was short enough (around 1ms with inclined edges) to not cause any damage.
While charging the voltage drops a bit and seems quite rough.
Then I disconnected mains again and you can see a voltage drop that causes the board to restart. Here it is in high resolution:

The voltage came as mentioned above not very high already, very close to undervolage. The drop to two volts finally kills it and let it reboot as soon as the voltage rises again.
 
tl;dr: I'll discard the idea using the powerbank to create a crude UPS.
 

Since - in my eyes - at least - there is a likelihood of confusion regarding the "Supporter" tag of members that actually (recurring) donating to the project. People could think "Supporter" means staff member that actually support people with their issues. The real staff rank, Moderator and Administrator to say, is "hidden" in their individual profiles. Since I like the idea of flat hierarchy I do not suggest to make the actual staff visible in forum postings but simply rename the Supporter to something like "Donator" to make it clear that these people donated to the project but are not necessarly involved into it.
 
Tell me what you think,

Being rude does not solve issues faster. However there ARE ways to accomplish this. Please consider studying the "Support" section here: https://github.com/armbian/build#support

I was not expecting you to put more time into it. It was more directed at the original poster, to address the issues pointed out by you. And to give him an idea what he could do to make it work with a powerbank...

I'm still getting nowhere with it. After installing panfrost onto Armbian Bionic and reboot I get this result. (OPi3)
I think I'll throw in the towel. 
If anyone fas more succes then I have, please let me know.

Surprise!    About a month is what we're shooting for.  Sorry for the poor communication.  We're still learning how to manage this process.  Ideally we will start a bit earlier and release closer to the beginning of the month 
 
 
Master will continue on as a rolling release.  You'll see that its version is already v20.05-trunk on master.
 
Relevant fixes applied to v20.02 going forward should be cherry-picked to master.   Although so far we've actually been cherry-picking fixes from master to v20.02.  
 
Going forward we'll update v20.02 for major bugs and stability issues until v20.05 is released.
 
rc0 and rc1 branches will be deleted.  Rc1 ended up being a rolling branch this time.  Not sure how we'll handle this next time.  A lot will be on how manage publishing test images.

if it does not have to be a all in one package you can still achieve this by reducing the 5V supply to 3.3v somehow (like putting 4 1N4007 diodes in series to create a drop of 2x 0.7 volts and yes, that would be a very crude hack ^^) and put it on a GPIO pin. If there is an outtage the board recognizes it.

I'm just curious.. what do you use 1500 orange pc plus for?

Interesting. The downside I noticed so far is that the loading current seems to be limited to .5 amps which is not enough if you run certain SBCs with a decent load...

That was also my first idea and it redirected me to a thread on reddit which was not that helpful.
I also could not find anything in the ebay description that could suggest such a feature. Probably because it is not fully functional due to the voltage drop mentioned above.
 
Maybe I can find some time and put an oscilloscope in between to see what we are dealing with...

Wait. The PCB was broken, the cells not. And I fixed it that time.
It can be charged and discharged the same time. The problem is that as soon as I disconnect mains the SBC restarts probably due to voltage drop on switch-over. This may be fixable using a small capacitor or something. I found the PCB I bought: https://www.ebay.com/itm/5V-2A-Power-Bank-Charger-Board-Charging-Circuit-Board-Step-Up-Module-Dual-USB/362589551623

it's not the distributor - it's the company behind NanoPi boards..
 
IMO the whole thread can be moved to: https://forum.armbian.com/forum/31-sd-card-and-psu-issues/
 
NanoPi M4 being not PD-compliant and therefore might be troublesome is mentioned on the dowloadpage:
 
linking to
btw @Igor or @lanefu we might add the same disclaimer from nanopi m4 to the orangepi 4 cause this board will have the same issues (I updated the thread but forgot my credentials to the WP admin board to do it on my own - feel free to remove my rights there anyways I didn't do much maintenance of it and honestly don't plan to change that in the future).
 
(hidden cause not really an advice more a hack to maybe achieve what you want but not what you should - having a sane powering for your setup)
 
3 amps at 5V is sufficient for the NanoPi M4 in most scenarios I had. But if you look at their "expansion hats", the USB3 and the SATA "hat" provide a barrel plug and for the sata hat additionally a ATX12V 4 Pin connector indicating that even they do not recommend using USB-C for such set-ups.. 

This settings is tied to a particular group. Now we have:

- validation (each posts must be approved)
- users (everyone)
and groups like developers, moderators, ...

We need something in between. We need to define (automatic) promotion rules and there are many ways to do that.

Recently we been finding some very clever spammers who register, make some post(s) that sound at least somewhat on topic, and then come back days or even weeks (!) later and edit them in order to insert spam links. Some examples:
 

 
Some times they put them alongside otherwise legitimate links:
 

 
Other times, they sneak them into quotes or lists, etc.:
 

 
Now, above examples have red background from being deleted (which is not how they will look to you normally) but you get the point.
 
There is no way for us currently to detect this kind of spamming, without enacting draconian measures of moderation, which we are certainly not going to do. So instead we ask for your help. The only way to really find these is to happen upon them while browsing the forum. If you see one, please click on the little flag at the bottom and a Moderator will take care of it. It only takes 2 seconds, and you can help out in keeping the forums a nice and useful place.
 
I also want to mention that something does not have to be Spam, or otherwise "bad" for you to Flag it. Anything that you feel deserves Moderator attention, such as off topic, or a diverging thread that needs to be split up into 2 or more separate topics, etc. can be Flagged.
 
Any forum Member can do this, it requires no special permissions whatsoever.
 
Thanks for your help!
 
Note: This post is geared toward every Member / user of the forums. The corresponding post geared more toward Moderators about how to deal with these kind of posts (once Flagged) can now be found here.
 

Need to limit the time for regular users to edit messages to 2-3 hours or 1 day.
 
I don't see any reason for regular users to be able to edit messages after 1-2 days.

This will be the Moderator counterpart to the Announcement thread I made about the same issue where I asked for help from regular forum Members. In this thread, I will discuss methodology I developed to deal with these sort of spammers, once someone has Flagged such post(s).
 
Humor
 
But first, some humor. Does anyone remember this guy? Anyway, that old infomercial kept playing over and over in my head today while I was working on this. I think we stumbled across some of his students! OK, carrying on...
 
What Not To Do
 
First thing to probably point out, let's not simply edit out these links one by one as we come across them. That doesn't really solve the problem. In fact it makes it worse by eliminating the "trail of bread crumbs" so to speak, the easiest way we have to "get them all" (which is by recursive searching). Allow me to explain...
 
These links seem to be posted in groups, by a small number of spammers. Once you catch on to one part of a cluster of them, it is actually pretty easy to methodically work your way through and find quite a few more, and "get them all" (within a given cluster).
 
Modus Operandi
 
But let me back up even more, for those who are totally unaware of this issue. What these people (we think they are human) are doing, is to register, and then post some at least seemingly relevant information in some topic, at least enough to get their post(s) approved. Then they come back some days or even weeks (!) later, and edit their post(s) to insert spam links. To see some actual examples, have a look at the Announcement post linked in the beginning.
 
1. Check Profile
 
So, once I found one such post / Member, the first thing I would do is look at their profile. Typically they will have from 1-5 posts or so. I would right click, and open each new post in another tab. Sometimes you will have to search then in the thread (using your browser search function, Ctrl-F in Firefox) to find the post. You will quickly be able to determine whether they are a spammer or not (you will see all the spam links in all their few handful of posts).
 
2. Flag as Spammer
 
Once you are certain they are a spammer, there are a couple ways you can "Flag as Spammer." Since you already have their profile open, you can click that button in there. Other way is to mouse over their avatar, and then the gear at bottom right opens another little menu that gives you the same option. This should be the first real action you take, because it does a couple things all at once (which will save you some time):
it Hides (not Deletes) all their posts, and Bans them from the site (permanently)  
Note that the above are subject to Admin settings, and these are the current settings as of this writing.
 
3. Being Thorough
 
Now, if you like to be thorough (I do) I will also kind of go through the threads that contain their spam posts (especially after their post(s)) and look for the following:
did any other user (usually unintentionally, or on accident) quote the spam links? if so, edit out those spam links by hand and leave a note what you did make sure no actually useful content was hidden (I have yet to find this in even one case)  
4. What Must Be Done (at Minimum)
 
However at a very minimum, you should be taking down a list of all these spam links you come across. This is key to the whole process. Methodically complete all of the above for each spammer and each of his posts. When you are done you should have a list of spam links, and one or more Banned spammers, with all their posts Hidden.
 
5. Working our URL List of Spam Links
 
Next step, we do a regular search on the forums for each of the spam links in turn. I like to leave this search window up, and again right click and open each result in a new tab, do whatever I need to do, and then come back to the main search result list, and keep going. Some pointers for this phase:
Some results will be ones you already discovered Other results will lead you to additional spam posts and/or users. Take care of each of them in turn (as above) and continue to add to your URL list. Scratch each spam URL off your list once you have worked your way through all the results for that particular spam URL. Some times you may have to "massage" the URL a bit if it is too close to common search terms shorten to base URL add quotes around it prepend "https://www." etc...  
6. The End
 
Get yourself a cold, tasty, delicious adult beverage of your choosing. You earned it. You have made the world a slightly better place than it was this morning. You have Maintained Civilization. Etc. 
 
I think that just about covers it. Any questions, comments are welcomed.
 
One thing I would like to re-iterate, if you don't have the time / patience for this, just Flag the post(s) and leave it for someone else who does. I think it's better to handle these properly and thoroughly than to half-arse it, deleting few links and then handicapping our ability to "get them all" later on.
 
Thanks!
 
EDIT: As an example, I will include my working list, below. This is what I came up with in a couple of hours this afternoon, all starting from one link that @Igor sent me in IRC (this is a bulleted checklist and table from org-mode; names of non spammers vindicated in my search have been removed):
 
 

Etcher don't need to format sdcards. If Etcher produce errors, maybe you should throw that sdcard in the trash bin ...

I started contributing a few dollars per month to help defray server costs. I might like to increase this amount to help out in purchasing hardware, etc. As I stated before, I have almost no time for anything, but happy to contribute few dollars here and there as luckily I am in a position to do so.
 
I couldn't help but wonder however, how much the PayPal fees and exchange rate were eating into my little contribution each month? And if it's significant, maybe we can figure out a better way to transfer funds. I have a strong dislike for middle men taking a cut anyway. Parasites.

Did you try a software based reset what does not involve the power line?
Something like this:https://askubuntu.com/questions/645/how-do-you-reset-a-usb-device-from-the-command-line

The OrangePi One is an sunxi board, the M4 is a RK3399. Cannot be compared
 
Anyway, I took a look at the schematics and at least from the powering point of view there is no way to toggle them by software. The 5V sys voltage is fed into a RT9724 rate controlled load switch (basiclly the overcurrent protecion) and then connected to Pin1 of the USB (VBUS). So no possible switch inbetween.
If you are really (REALLY, probably just forget about it) good at soldering you could desolder the EN of the RT9724GQW and add some kind a switch through the GPIOs there.....
 

Somehow "request not receiving attention" got turned into "TRS-80 not receiving attention" which was not what I said. I do not need attention.
 
@Werner, I think you said something in IRC once ~ about certain aspects of Moderation only being for autistic people. I want you to know I got a nice grin out of that. I don't take offense, and I think I am probably on the spectrum somewhere. In fact, I think it makes me perfectly suited to the job of getting the forum in order.
 
But as it stands, this fuzziness and (to me) disorganization is driving me nuts... REEEEEEEEE
