Yeah. no fancy output this time

We had some troubles with the usual tool, but backup is this:

You should state in the topic title and in the post in which corner of the globe you life. This can be done with abbreviations like EU, US, ASIA and so on. This will help reduce unnecessary further inquiry of items location. It also also a good idea to state if you are actually looking for or offer something. You can use offer or request in both topic title and posting.  
I tried to create a select box that handles this for you but I have to admit it did not work out as I was expecting it. I may revisit this in future.

I think in the point of view of Armbian at least there is no need to strip anything down since it has enough power to handle all that stuff with ease.
Add 10 bucks and get 4GB of LPDDR4 instead of 1GB of DDR3 FYI.
 
Just a copy of the R2S. Better grab original

I recently configured the build script to create a Buster Desktop image for all Rockchip boards, so with next Armbian update it should appear in the download page. In the meantime, as @TonyMac32 said, you can download the server image and use "armbian-config" to install the Desktop easily (it's under System -> Default Desktop).

Board does now properly boot on current and dev branch.

Here how to use the media packages from JMCC on Armbian Buster Legacy for the RK3399. This gives Chromium hardware acceleration, and installs Kodi.
This also works for the Tinker Board and Rock64.
 

LOL No, man, I'm not that old!

Stumbled across while digging through Github.

Its like code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } cat but has syntax highlight and other cool stuff. Nicely they provide arm and arm64 binaries for lazy people

Werner, thanks a lot, did not know that, I wanted to use the Balena Etcher anyways to write the image to my sd card... 

You can monitor your ZFS speed by issuing "zpool iostat x" with x being the time between each report in seconds. You can put some crazy value there, like 0.001s.
There is one catch... I think the read/write values are the cumulative speed of each disk (with the parity), and not the true usable data R/W of the pool.


On my helios, I'm getting about 140MBps true reads and 80MBps true writes for a raidz2 on 4 very old and already dying hdd.

WRITING TO from dd point of view:

 
The same write from iostat point of view




And wow, ZFS is learning fast... Files get cached on RAM. I get crazy reading speeds after successive reads on the same file:




I also tried to copy a large folder from an NTFS USB SSD to ZFS and the write speed reported by zpool iostat was about 140MBps. So yeah. This is not a definitive answer about write speed. But our measurements are on the same ballpark at least.
I believe the write speed could be optimized but only at the cost of general purpose usability. For my use cases it is enough speed and redundancy. I won't go into a speed race to find later that I trapped myself in a corner case.
 
Edit: it is looking like the caching is actually done by the kernel in this case (I have not configured any ZFS cache).

If someone want to do make an automated read/write test script, you can flush the kernel like described here:

I think you must be interested in it.

Yeah balbes already mentioned here: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/15693-get-for-free-station-p1-rk3399-m1-rk3328/?do=findComment&comment=115737
 

Give it a try but as stated basically nothing but booting and ethernet works. not even USB can be used at this time. Dont expect any support in this case.

You can try this. Create a new activity stream with the settings you like:

 
 
Then subscribe to it via RSS:

Good. I am also working on some multimedia kernel-related stuff for legacy RK3399's, I am planning to push the changes very soon too. BTW, I understnad it is conveninet to make a Jira issue for it, because that way it is easier to incorporate it into the changelog, correct?

Yes for the next batch we will finally offer board only purchase option ;-)

Because there is no real driver for using the rockchips videoengine yet. It uses software transcoding which obviously needs lots of cpu power.

This problem should be fixed by now.
 
One of our mirror is "Kubernetes Native, High Performance Object Storage Amazon S3 compatible" and there we had to use different sync method. We also synched from there further since host has a fast connection ... 
 
tl;dr; Wrong sync parameter 

DEV version is fixed now / new u-boot. Need testing on other boards ... 

Moved to tv boxes
