@NicoD @lanefu don't you have pbp for a quick test?

Are you sure that the last batch was an Orange PI 3, not the new Orange PI 3 LTS - similar names but slightly different boards with different Armbian builds.

@mcb777 Please note that posting such resources (i.e. the ophub build "amlogic-s9xxx-armbian" above) in this forum can be insulting towards Armbian developers since the developers behind ophub do not participate in the Armbian development effort nor these forums.  In fact they use the Armbian name for their fork without permission.  The concern being that users of these other code bases will turn to these forums for support not knowing the code they are running is not Armbian and burden our already scarce resources. I would ask you not to post such links in the Armbian forums in the future.

ver 20220309 update config kernel, work LAN, WiFi, BT, HDMI sound, analog sound, SATA

Correct. That way of installation has been removed by HASS and therefore broke our installer which then got removed:https://github.com/home-assistant/supervised-installer/commit/ece9fcc9468be41c67d052e043a9e70bad16a67a
 
You have to figure some manual way of installation. No idea though what packages are available and so on.

It's not supported on H6 yet.

The .xz file is the image.  The .sha file is the checksum.  I think you should google and learn about the purpose and use of checksums, to understand what the .sha file is for.

sha contains the checksum for the image which you can validate locally.

:~$ lsmod Module Size Used by option 57344 0 usb_wwan 24576 1 option usbserial 65536 2 option,usb_wwan wireguard 147456 0 zram 36864 2 sprdwl_ng 438272 0 sprdbt_tty 40960 2 uwe5622_bsp_sdio 294912 2 sprdbt_tty,sprdwl_ng  
Looks like wireguard is available.
 
Anyway maybe I can use iptables with this build.

sudo update-alternatives --set iptables /usr/sbin/iptables-legacy sudo update-alternatives --set ip6tables /usr/sbin/ip6tables-legacy  
 

I think many of us want to use arm sbc as NAS, but remember, your data is expensive, but you put it on cheep server...
at least you need an arm device designed for NAS, not any SBC.
 
 

Sorry for again disappearing.  It took up much more time and energy than I thought to find a new place (very tough market here) and get moved.
 
On the up side, I have my own separate bedroom/office now, where I can hack away on my mechanical keyboard late into the night (previously my battle station was in the bedroom and The Missus is a light sleeper, lol)!
 
Still unpacking and getting settled in, still need to build a shed, etc. but at least my battle station (and SBCs) are back up and running again now!
 
 

Who's that weird guy in the woods

Hello,
 
==> UPDATE: I finally managed to fix the issue by moving away from current kernel and installing the edge one:
on armbian-config, install "edge" kernel (5.17.5-meson64) install manually the kernel header (armbian-config only install "current" kernel header, i.e., 5.10.*): sudo apt install linux-headers-edge-meson64 sudo apt remove zfs-dkms sudo apt install zfs-dkms sudo apt install zfsutils-linux Then I managed to recover my zfs pool with:
sudo zpool import -f mypool sudo zpool upgrade mypool Now it's working again! 🥰
 
It's me again. I have been busy since my last attempt to fix my ZFS issues, but now I found some time to start from zero:
 
grabbed the latest version from https://redirect.armbian.com/odroidhc4/Jammy_current, installed on my SD card with Balena Etcher, and recreated my system from zero.  
I installed the kernel headers with armbian-config, as it was not activated by default, and then, I followed the same steps as described above in @Igor's post:
 
 
 
Then started apt upgrade:
 
 
While doing apt upgrade, I had 2 issues appeared, saying /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net were different from maintainers. I assume it's not a big deal, installed from the maintainer and continued:
 
 
Then it continued the upgrade without noticeable issue:
 
 
Then I tried to install zfs... and it doesn't work:
 
sudo apt install zfs-dkms  
It starts by showing a message about licence incompatibility. I select 'OK' to continue... and then, it crashes!
 
It says "Unable to build an empty module":
 
 
What did I do wrong?!
 
I would be grateful if someone could help me to solve it. All my NAS data is bricked. 🥵
 
I don't understand why it's so difficult to have ZFS running on my ODROID HC4 (but it worked in the past with an older version) ... this raises another question: shall I move away from ZFS for peace of mind?
 
Thank you, guys! And sorry to bother you again.

It's ARM9 core, so it's very old architecture. Only BSP kernel exists, but who knows where source can be found. So, even if sources for kernel can be found, it would be a waste of time to support it in Armbian.

Hello Everyone!
 
Recently @NicoD has been helping to release some videos on the Armbian community as well he usually keeps up with reviewing and documenting single board computers.
 
This got me thinking it would probably be awesome to have a central place to document Armbian related videos and documentation that exists.
 
I will try to post any good Armbian related channels or videos my self, but I would invite anyone else who would like to contribute to this thread as well! 
 
Are you a creator that loves Armbian and has made some videos about it?? Let us know and share here!
 
To get things started I will include NicoD's most recent videos:
 
 
This video is about an important Armbian community member which if you have been around the forum for any period of time you have probably heard from, or in some cases, had to deal with
 
Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule @Wernerto do the video!
 
Additionally, NicoD has just released a video on the Rock 5b including some benchmarks:
 
NicoD had reached out and asked if he could give the new Rock 5b sample I had received for a  spin, and well... I couldn't say no!  Great job breaking things down NicoD!
 
Well those are the two I will start out with, if this thread takes off I will try and update it with many more videos!
 
If anyone wants to see more pictures of the crafty case I made for the Rock 5b, let me know and I can attach them in this thread
 
Cheers all!

Yeah that is one of the sections that are still missing and nobody took the challenge yet to make a write-up. However you can dig through old PRs that added support for a board to get an idea where things got added or adjusted.
Examples:

Hi Nexus. It seems you're trying to build on arm64, but my code is using the u-boot + rkbins from HardKernel, which unfortunately only work on x86 / amd64. 
Also, you're better off building from "armbian/build" branch "armbian-next' instead of my "extensions" branch, which is very (very!) volatile.

usbimager is preferred to flash image to microsd. Please keep in mind Odroid C1 don't work with every microsd card (Sandisk Ultra is ok)

Hi all.

Werner has made a video where he presents himself and talks about how he got into using Linux, SBCs and Armbian.
A very interesting video.
 

This is a serie of video's. Igor and Lanefu also have made a video like that.
You can find the other video's here.

If you're willing to make a video like this. I am willing to edit and help out.
Greetings, NicoD

Version 20220710 for SfarFive.
Important change, Ubuntu\Armbian switched to using UEFI. Debian\Armbian will be switched to using UEFI in the near future, while several packages necessary for UEFI are missing in Debian network repositories for riscv64, with the release of these packages in Debian network repositories or I will temporarily use DEB EFI packages from Ubuntu, Debian images will also be completely switched to the UEFI startup system (grub). It is welcome if there are participants who are ready to help with porting the necessary DEB EFI packages for Debian. By the way, Rick is actively working on adding new DE for RISC-V in Armbian, several new DE will be ready soon, if you are interested in specific DE, write to this topic, it will help determine which direction to do first.
