Hi all, I can't find any documentation (i prob just don't know where to look), so just a quick question: I have a Mi Box S, and i can run Armbian fine on it, it uses "booti ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramdisk_addr_r} ${fdt_addr_r}" to load the kernel images, i'm assuming they are all unsigned. But i would also like to run unsigned app images (openElec/emuElec/etc) which use "bootm <kernel_addr>" but those return an error: aml log : Sig Check 1467 So my question is are you guys doing any "magic" to get it to load, or does "booti" not do a signature check where as "bootm" does? Thanks.

Hi can anyone explain how this can load on a secure box (mi box S) but i cannot load android based images such as libreElec or lakka? I'm guessing it's has something to do with the dtb signing but just wondering if someone can explain or if it's documented anywhere. Thanks.

I figured it out, basically there is zero power going to the USB port, so i had to use a usb splitter cable and a hub. 1: Hub, USB Revision 3.0 - u-boot XHCI Host Controller - Class: Hub - PacketSize: 9 Configurations: 1 - Vendor: 0x0000 Product 0x0000 Version 1.0 Configuration: 1 - Interfaces: 1 Self Powered 0mA Interface: 0 - Alternate Setting 0, Endpoints: 1 - Class Hub - Endpoint 1 In Interrupt MaxPacket 8 Interval 255ms

Hi all I have UART connected to my MiBox S (which doesn't have a SD card slot only 1 usb). I'm trying to see if it can boot from USB, but it says there are no storage devices connected. Is it possible or am i just wasting my time: U-Boot 2015.01-g9a75fc5-dirty (Jul 11 2019 - 19:46:21), Build: jenkins-oneday-699 DRAM: 2 GiB Relocation Offset is: 76ed3000 gpio: pin gpiodv_24 (gpio 43) value is 1 gpio: pin gpioh_3 (gpio 52) value is 1 register usb cfg[0][1] = 0000000077f5db98 [CANVAS]canvas init MMC: aml_priv->desc_buf = 0x0000000073ed3b40 aml_priv->desc_buf = 0x0000000073ed5e60 SDIO Port B: 0, SDIO Port C: 1 emmc/sd response timeout, cmd8, status=0x3ff2800 emmc/sd response timeout, cmd55, status=0x3ff2800 init_part() 293: PART_TYPE_AML [mmc_init] mmc init success aml log : R1024 check pass!

I do not have /proc/sys/crypto on my x86 box (running debian) or my renegade (running armbian) or my rpi (running raspian). My guess is it's installed with the FIPS module, which i believe is not free.

over scp, i average around 30-35MBs: root@chromebox:/home/jmandawg# scp random500MBfile renegade:/mnt/data/ root@renegade's password: random500MBfile 100% 500MB 31.5MB/s 00:15

There is a patch here: https://www.mail-archive.com/freeipa-users@lists.fedorahosted.org/msg03711.html I would suggest asking on freeIpa forum.

try: mkdir /proc/sys/crypto echo "0" > /proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled then start it.

ssh in and reconfigure it or fail safe method: re-flash the sd card

What are the results with openssl with the patches applied?

Quick question, what happened to Debian Stretch images for Renegade, it seems there is only ubuntu images for download now. Does armbian perfer ubuntu rootfs for server images now?

I've actully did more test this morning and i'm getting full 100mbs over vpn (with the isolated cpu). There is probably less traffic on a sunday morning. Also i think i might be connected to a better server. when you run your speed test make sure it uses a different core than the openvpn: taskset -c 0 python3 speedtest.py root@renegade:/mnt/data# taskset -c 0 python3 speedtest.py Retrieving speedtest.net configuration...

Download: 95.08 Mbit/s Testing upload speed...................................................................................................... Upload: 10.55 Mbit/s Another option to prevent anything from being scheduled on your openvpn core is to modify the /boot/boot.cmd and add isolcpus=2 to the bootargs (you will still need the CPUAffinity setting in the systemd openvpn.services file to run it on core 2): setenv bootargs "root=${rootdev} rootwait rootfstype=${rootfstype} ${consoleargs} panic=10 consoleblank=0 loglevel=${verbosity} ubootpart=${partuuid} usb-storage.quirks=${usbstoragequirks} ${extraargs} ${extraboardargs} isolcpus=2" Then run: mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.scr and reboot. Let us know what speeds you get from wireguard, i wish my provider supported it, but you shouldn't have to do any of this crap to get full speed with wireguard.

Looks like the latest download on that page is bionic, i'm on stretch any easy way to update or better to just do a clean install.

Thanks, I think there are too many variables at play using the Windscribe servers, as even the iperf3 results vary from 20-60Mps...

Hi, on the renegade page: https://www.armbian.com/renegade/ It says we can run this cpu at 1.51Ghz, but when i follow the instructions nothing happens, is there a step i'm missing?: root@renegade:/mnt/config# sed -i "s/MAX_SPEED=.*/MAX_SPEED=1510000/" /etc/default/cpufrequtils root@renegade:/mnt/config# service cpufrequtils restart root@renegade:/mnt/config# cpufreq-set -g performance root@renegade:/mnt/config# armbianmonitor -m Stop monitoring using [ctrl]-[c] Time CPU load %cpu %sys %usr %nice %io %irq CPU C.St. 12:41:39: 1392MHz 1.37 17% 4% 7% 0% 3% 1% 65.4°C 0/6^C Is there an updated dtb file or overlay somewhere?

So I ended up isolating cpu core 2 in systemd so that the only thing that runs on it is openvpn, and confirmed in htop. Now i'm getting much better performance but it flucuates ALOT depending on which server i get connected to (between 30mbs and 70mbps). I don't know how accurate the speedtest-cli is compared to just downloading a file. Hopefully WIndscribe starts supporting wireguard soon. Hopefully this helps the OP. root@renegade:/mnt/data# python3 speedtest.py Retrieving speedtest.net configuration... Testing from QuadraNet Enterprises LLC (167.160.172.18)...

I don't think the tinkerboard has hardware crypto. I think the VPN connection should be a lot faster with the RK3288 hardware crypto.

Thanks for the suggestion but my vpn provider doesn't support wireguard yet.

Hi all. Is heatsink required for the libre 3328? When I log in to armbiam temp says 60 but it is in red text.
