    Werner reacted to lanefu in armbian-config RFC ideas   
    Well we have a big arm server already configured as a github runner. I suppose we could chroot an armbian rootfs or place in a container 
     
    So i guess something that can test armbian-config works as expected

    Werner got a reaction from TRS-80 in Changing default Armbian shell to ZSH   
    IMHO I would not ship zsh by default. Simply because one of Armbians goals is to provide a mostly unmodified experience known from a fresh vanilla Debian/Ubuntu installation on other platforms. Providing as pre-configured and easy to install enhancement is perfectly fine.

    Werner reacted to Igor in Using different desktop environments on Armbian   
    Commercial Rpi OS is based on: https://wiki.lxde.org/en/Main_Page which is IMO not near more modern and project they have forked, seems dead. But it certainly appears more modern than its fork ... perhaps more than XFCE. Subjective.
     
    Our current amateur desktop is more or less stock XFCE with custom theme and wallpaper and was not changed since years - except internal version, applications within. We only make it to provide something clean, light and stable. It has those most important properties, which is important for serious deployments. Distro hoppers or Rpi users are not our target group and on most hardware we support, Armbian is usually best choice for different reasons.
     
    But as @Werner pointed out, for about a year we are developing desktop upgrade - but its again for our internal needs, to make more desktop options and to make package management easier. We hope someone will step up and tweak desktops further so they will look nicer but if not, they will remain as is.
     
    If you want to trade stability and security for nice design, just say it  It is way way cheaper to make desktop looks nice then keeping OS functional. We can't cover everything and in any case - there is no reward except internal satisfaction.

    What I can say for sure about the NanoPi Neo3 so far, is, that it does a good job in the datacenter. Ramping up the traffic may not be complete after 7 days, but at this point, it handles 50 MBits traffic in both directions  easy. CPU temp. is with a small fan and some aluminium heatsinks+ full AC in the colo room at 42 *C. System load: 8%

    Werner reacted to NicoD in RK3399 Legacy Multimedia Framework   
    I've just installed the media script on the Station P1. Video playback is 2x speed. Either in Youtube with Chromium, or with MPV and a normal video file.
    Everything sounds like the chipmunks.
    I also think not everything went correct with the chromium settings. 

    Problems are haunting me on the StationP1.  I've been trying for a month to make a video about it and never was able to have everything working. When not filming it often worked. But when filming... Quantum mechanics are against me.

    Werner reacted to jeanrhum in Recommendation needed for affordable sbc   
    If you want integrated wifi, several sbc can be used and some others will require an usb wifi dongle. The key
    For instance, the pineH64-B with 2 or 3GB of ram may do the job quite well and you can add an emmc module: https://www.pine64.org/pine-h64-ver-b/
    A similar device is Orange Pi Lite 2.
    If you want something closer to a tv box, station M1 is also a nice choice even if it is only community supported for now: https://www.firefly.store/goods.php?id=130
     
    If you want a stronger cpu, any of the armbian supported sbc based on rk3399 will answer your needs (check for wifi in case it is not integrated on some boards, eg. rock pi 4A).

    Werner reacted to JMCC in Board Bring Up Station P1 rk3399, M1 rk3328   
    I would like to bring something to attention. Right now, Station P1 and M1 legacy are being added as new kernel packages. I think ideally, the changes should be merged into some of the existing RK3399/Rockchip64 legacy kernels. We were aiming to reduce the multiplicity of RK kernels, but now we are introducing two new kernel packages, station-m1 and station-p1, one of each for a single device.
     
    Of course, I understand all the work involved on bringing up a new board, and how frustrating it is when new kernel configs or patches conflict with the existing one. But it is probably worth the effort to try and merge the changes for P1/M1 into Rockchip64, if that were possible.

    Werner reacted to piter75 in Booting ROCK Pi 4(A/B/C) with mainline u-boot in SPI, NVMe and Armbian v20.11.x   
    With Armbian v20.11 one can write mainline u-boot image to board's SPI and enjoy booting nvme drives without any mmc devices.
    Prerequisities: ROCK Pi 4(A/B/C) v1.4 or 1.3 with SPI soldered in (v1.3 comes without SPI flash from the factory).
     
    If you already have Radxa's u-boot written to SPI you need to short pins 23 and 25 for Armbian to boot Boot fresh image of Armbian v20.11.x for ROCK Pi 4(A/B/C) Add the following lines to /boot/armbianEnv.txt overlays=spi-jedec-nor param_spinor_spi_bus=1 Reboot If you shorted 23-25 pins in 1.) then: disconnect them after the ROCK Pi 4 fully boot's  enable spi-nor by executing (as root):
    echo spi1.0 > /sys/bus/spi/drivers/spi-nor/bind verify that the SPI mtd interface is enabled by running
    ls /dev/mtdblock0 if the last command does not list any file then something went wrong between 3.) and 5.) Run nand-sata-install choose option: "Boot from SPI - system on SATA, USB or NVMe" choose NVMe partition, eg. /dev/nvme0n1p1 accept erasing of the choosen partition with "Yes" choose fs type (tested with ext4) wait a few minutes for rootfs transfer to chosen partition choose writing SPI bootloader with "Yes" confirm that you want to flash it with "Yes" wait ~60 seconds for writing choose Exit Reboot Enjoy Armbian booting with SPI / NVMe  
    Why bother with mainline u-boot?
    It is known to boot some NVMe drives that legacy u-boot from Radxa has issues with, eg. SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus and SAMSUNG PM981.
    This does not mean that all NVMe drives are supported, YMMV.
     
    Which NVMe drives are known to be working?
    Corsair MP510 240GB/480GB/960GB
    Gigabyte SSD M.2 2280 PCIe x2 Model:GP-GSM2NE8128GNTD
    HP SSD EX900 M.2 NVMe 120GB. Model: 2YY42AA#ABB
    Intel SSD 660p Model:SSDPEKNW512GB
    Kingston A1000 SSD 240GB (PHISON PS5008-E8-10)
    Kingston A2000 M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe
    PNY 250GB XLR8 CS3030 M.2 NVMe SSD PCIe Gen3 x4
    Sabrent Rocket 256GB NVMe PCIe M.2 2280
    Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD 250GB M.2 2280, PCIe 3.0 x4, NVMe, 3500/2300 MB/s
    Samsung PM981 256GB
    XPG SX6000 Lite 128GB (ASX6000LNP-128GT-C)
     
    Why not using Radxa's u-boot SPI image?
    Ambian's u-boot configuration is incompatible with Radxa's SPI image
     
    Why Armbian is using u-boot that is incompatible with Radxa's?
    It uses mainline u-boot with Open Source TPL/SPL/proper and BL31 from Rockchip packaged into u-boot and we may switch to using open source ATF instead of the BL31 in the future.
     
    Can I boot Radxa's images with Armbian's u-boot written to SPI?
    Yes. Armbian's SPI u-boot is compatible with Radxa's images available here: https://github.com/radxa/rock-pi-images-released/releases
    It may not be compatible with some older images (released before July 2020) because of the device tree filename change.

    from scratch... I'm working out the exact process now to automate it.  When I have the scripting worked out, I'll format it into proper Armbian format and submit a PR. It was all pretty straight forward to accomplish manually.  Wipe the NVMe and setup several logical partitions to use as encryption stores, add them to fstab, etc. It's all working now.  My biggest gripe is which kernel is supported... so far this is only working on legacy 4.4 and I really want to use 5.7+

    I have Wayland/sddm/Sway working as well and will be integrating that as my default managers.
