    The -c was there before. It's yelling about the extra file on the end which isn't a .sha file ...

    Probably. Chances are low but if you notice weird behavior of your board in any shape or form verifying the image itself is a good point to start digging into stuff.

    Werner reacted to tparys in OverlayFS - read only root filesystem   
    My understanding is that the overlayfs package is provided by the Ubuntu upstream packages, and is not part of the Debian repositories. Armbian does not provide or directly support this software package.
     
    It's likely that with some minor work, it would be compatible with the base Debian image, however is out of scope of the Armbian project.

    Hi all.
    You might have already heard. Armbian is aiming to support the Raspberry Pi4. @rpardini already made well working images for it.
    In this video I talk about why we would want Armbian for the RPi4, and I show you around in Armbian Jammy 5.13 for the RPi4.
     
     
    We do need to find someone who wants to take the task on him/her to be maintainer for RaspberryPi4 at Armbian.
    For this you need one spare board that can be used for testing when new release are made.
    Here some info I gathered.

    And for those who don't like watching a video, here a short text of what I talk about.

     
    What is Armbian? What is the Armbian build framework which is one of the valued pro's compared to RPiOS? Why Armbian for RPi4? For software compatibillity with other Armbian supported SBCs, Reliabillity, ARM64, Ubuntu and Debian and their versions, great for server tasks... Accentuate this is only a preview, not full release or supported Show Armbian download page Show the NanoPi M4 and Odroid N2+, talk about their specs(short) Difference between other SBCs and RPi/ThreadX - Under Voltage problems/eMMC and NVMe possible on others(better I/O) What doesn't work yet on Armbian for RPi4. Wifi, BT and HDMI sound Show Armbian Impish, show htop, install desktops, Benchmarks between different OS's. Explain they aren't worth much since, different versions of software, different architecture armhf vs arm64, 7zip multicore doesn't play well on different sized clusters, and doesn't always give exact the same result... !!!Test the performance of the software you use to know if this is the correct tool for you!!! Show different desktop environments installed on Armbian - Not the Armbian default desktops - mate doesn't work great, xfce4 works ok, kde works but is slow(newer version should improve that soon)Change openGL2->OpenGL3, ... Performance of I/O. Better to use a good but cheap usb3 sd-card reader than on-board sd-card reader. ssd/NVMe->USB3 even better. ???Would you like to become RPi4 Armbian maintainer??? Or for another board??? Conclusion. Good for RPi community to have even more choice. Good for Armbian community to be able to use the same software on their RPi devices as on their others. Good for Armbian to reach more people and have more awareness about other boards. Having a good build environment to build your own images/kernels/patches for the RPi4.

    @NicoD
    why only for the RPI4?
    I commented out (like you said in the video) the 2GHz overclock out of the config.txt and booted the image on the RPI3b(+)
    for a headless-server-only version (No Desktop)
     
    Little problem was the /erc/rc.local where I mount my SAMBA from another pistyle-sbc, because the Network card is getting up very late.
    So I had to add a "sleep 20" at the beginning of my /etc/rc.local
     
    Armbian on my the RPi 3B v1.2 takes around 185MB for booting - so enough space to do something
     
    Because onboard audio doesnt work I used a USB-Audio with a proper /etc/asound.conf
     
    After a "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" the RPi does copy many new/current modules again and seem to setup the system better.
     
    To gain back some memory from the RPi3 I changed the GPU memory in the config.txt from 256MB to 32MB to get 950MB useable for the headless-server

    Correct. Nothing will become closed source or removed besides the pre-built binary packages like images or debs. These homemade images or packages are  unsupported like they always have been.

    Werner got a reaction from kehrnal in Rock64 official support   
    Community Supported Chip. Armbian does not do active development for this board nor does it assist if users run into issues. Depending on kernel branch it might or might not receive updates here and there but they are untested and if they break something, bad luck. Enhancements from the community via PR surely will be accepted.
    You can also volunteer to take over maintainership for your board: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/19172-do-you-like-to-see-your-favorite-board-supported/#comment-130484

    You will probably not get very far if not anybody else with some expertise tried that with this specific tablet.
    I mean in theory it would be possible if you can extract the device tree and make it compatible with Linux (Android != Linux).
    Allwinner A64 SoC support is available but the kernel needs to know what to expect from the connected components.

    Werner reacted to SteeMan in S912 Box, Internal emmc input/output error   
    Are you sure your box has emmc and not cheaper nand?  A lot of boxes cut costs by using cheaper nand instead of true emmc, and nand storage is not supported in the 5.x kernel.  I would suggest you open the box and look up the specs of the chips you find on the board to confirm what you actually have.  (I own TV boxes that have identical markings on the outside, but one will have emmc and the other will have nand).

    Recently we announced that we are going to drop support for bulk of boards to secure better quality for those that will remain. But which will remain? Those who will have at least one dedicated maintainer - anyone can become one. 

    Check new "Armbian standard" support policy:
     
    Armbian team took over what was possible while the remaining boards, which won't get a maintainer by December 1st, will loose support status and will be removed from the download pages.
