I've been using systemd-networkd with espressobin for long. The trouble with starting i-net i-faces on boot exists from the origin. I get used adding the following to my # cat /etc/rc.local ## if necessary to activate wan i-face /sbin/ip link set dev wan up Another solution to explore : ## Jul 13 22:16:50 2018 action merged with systemd-networkd.service ## ExecStartPre=/sbin/ip link set wan down | up

This is just to report, that Image file Armbian_23.11.1_Espressobin_bookworm_current_5.15.139.img.xz is not mounting.

kernel 5.10.60 is the last version I've managed running v7 @ 1200 MHz with cpu frequency stepping. Thus, if you want the latest kernel, I fear you would need to downgrade your u-boot to 1000 MHz. I don't believe there were recent development debugging this issue, although there is a need for.

I have a working BPi M1 with [ 0.000000] Linux version 5.15.25-sunxi (root@d72d155687c7) (arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc (GNU Toolchain for the A-profile Architecture 8.3-2019.03 (arm-rel-8.36)) 8.3.0, GNU ld (GNU Toolchain for the A-profile Architecture 8.3-2019.03 (arm-rel-8.36)) 2.32.0.20190321) #22.02.1 SMP Sun Feb 27 09:23:25 UTC 2022 Due to inconvenient USB placements, I thought using OTG micro USB (the one right next to the SD slot), but it doesn't seem to be operational. I bought a Micro USB Male To Female OTG Adapter Cable, but the attached devices are not detected neither connected to OTG port, nor to the normal power-in micro USB connector (located between SATA and SATA-pwr). I attached the same Micro USB Male To Female OTG Adapter Cable to my Android phone and devices are recognized and activated. For example an external keyboard worked with the phone. What is the current USB OTG support status and what is necessary to debug its functionality? I quick look at kernel configuration: root@bananapi:~# zcat /proc/config | grep OTG CONFIG_USB_OTG=y # CONFIG_USB_OTG_PRODUCTLIST is not set # CONFIG_USB_OTG_DISABLE_EXTERNAL_HUB is not set # CONFIG_USB_OTG_FSM is not set CONFIG_USB_FOTG210_HCD=m # CONFIG_USB_FOTG210_UDC is not set root@bananapi:~# zcat /proc/config | grep CONFIG_USB_DWC CONFIG_USB_DWC3=y # CONFIG_USB_DWC3_HOST is not set # CONFIG_USB_DWC3_GADGET is not set CONFIG_USB_DWC3_DUAL_ROLE=y CONFIG_USB_DWC3_OF_SIMPLE=m CONFIG_USB_DWC2=y # CONFIG_USB_DWC2_HOST is not set # CONFIG_USB_DWC2_PERIPHERAL is not set CONFIG_USB_DWC2_DUAL_ROLE=y # CONFIG_USB_DWC2_DEBUG is not set # CONFIG_USB_DWC2_TRACK_MISSED_SOFS is not set What is necessary to make OTG working?

Sadly, there is nobody. 1.2 GHz variant of A3720 will remain flawed.

Hello Pali, Thank you again for pointing out this flaw. I recall your alert earlier this year : https://forum.armbian.com/topic/19564-making-espressobin-v7-work-in-2022/page/2/# Beware, 1.2 GHz CPU is broken and Marvell refused to fix it. Hence kernel maintainers decided to delete/deactive 1.2 GHz mode. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/20210809040224.j2rvopmmqda3utc5@vireshk-i7/ So rather stick with 1 GHz mode. Now kernel upgrade reminded this bug again. It remains yet unclear to me, why the 5.10.60-mvebu64 kernel works on 1.2 GHz variant of A3720 SOC and apparently does frequency scaling, while the next 5.15 tree does not. If init sequence related to CPU voltage configuration satisfy the 5.10 tree, why is it no more valid for 5.15? I have another ancillary issue with uboot implementation. When I followed your u-boot build guidance in February 2022, I didn't implement U-Boot distroboot feature by that time as Armbian distribution was not yet ready. Thus I haven't set default environment in u-boot so far. Armbian is currently passed from boot_targets=usb sata mmc1 mmc0 bootcmd=for target in ${boot_targets}; do run bootcmd_${target}; done instead if distroboot implementation : bootcmd=run distro_bootcmd What are implications of not setting default environment (=> env default -a) in u-boot with "distroboot Armbian"?

I used Igor's advice for another issue : Workaround: armbian-config -> system -> Other -> Switch to other kernels , pick previous, freeze, wait | |linux-image-current-mvebu64=22.08.2 5.15.69-mvebu64 | | | |linux-image-current-mvebu64=22.05.3 5.15.48-mvebu64 | | | |linux-image-current-mvebu64=22.05.1 5.15.35-mvebu64 | | | |linux-image-current-mvebu64=21.08.1 5.10.60-mvebu64 | | <<-- CPU scaling is not broken I progressively downgraded to kernels 5.15.69, than to 5.15.48 and 5.15.35. None of them allowed to fix CPU scaling. This is rather strange, as I run another espressobin, which doesn't loose CPU scaling with kernel 5.15.48-mvebu64. This second espressobin is version 5 and u-boot running at 1000 MHz. This could give a clue to fix broken CPU scaling in kernel 5.15.xx.

armbian-ramlog & armbian-truncate-log are not executed due to an error parsing the XTRA_RSYNC_TO=(--delete) from /etc/default/armbian-ramlog This results in quick saturation of /var/log. I've made some advancement in debugging "armbian-ramlog & armbian-truncate-log" complex, based on the master tree here: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/packages/bsp/common/usr/lib/armbian/armbian-ramlog Your /usr/lib/armbian/armbian-ramlog has a syntax error in the array expression ${XTRA_RSYNC_TO[@]+"${XTRA_RSYNC_TO[@]}"} The 1st array lacks a closing } curly braces. Secondly, I can't figure out, why the same array is duplicated. Even if you parse a variable XTRA_RSYNC_TO=(--delete) from /etc/default/armbian-ramlog, it will result in : --delete+--delete Another problem comes, when you call /usr/lib/armbian/armbian-ramlog write >/dev/null 2>&1 from /usr/lib/armbian/armbian-truncate-logs. It actually produces the error: # /usr/lib/armbian/armbian-truncate-logs /usr/lib/armbian/armbian-truncate-logs: 23: /etc/default/armbian-ramlog: Syntax error: "(" unexpected I believe there is a syntax error in the way the call is made, where the XTRA_RSYNC_TO=(--delete) variable is not accounted for. Otherwise, if the XTRA_RSYNC_TO=(--delete) variable is remarked in /etc/default/armbian-ramlog and "--delete" option is hard coded in /usr/lib/armbian/armbian-ramlog, the complex starts running without raising exceptions.

This fix is incomplete. It fixes only XTRA_RSYNC_FROM=() procedure declaration in /etc/default/armbian-ramlog But this procedure IS NOT called in armbian-truncate-logs : /usr/lib/armbian# vi armbian-truncate-logs ... # truncate, save and clean logs if they get over 75% of the /var/log size # working only when armbian-ramlog is enabled treshold=75 # % JOURNAL_SIZE=5M # size to shrink systemd-journal [ -f /etc/default/armbian-ramlog ] && . /etc/default/armbian-ramlog [ "$ENABLED" != true ] && exit 0 logusage=$(df /var/log/ --output=pcent | tail -1 |cut -d "%" -f 1) if [ $logusage -ge $treshold ]; then # write to SD /usr/lib/armbian/armbian-ramlog write >/dev/null 2>&1 # rotate logs on "disk" /usr/sbin/logrotate --force /etc/logrotate.conf # truncate /usr/bin/find /var/log -name '*.log' -or -name '*.xz' -or -name 'lastlog' -or -name 'messages' -or -name 'debug' -or -name 'syslog' | xargs -r truncate --size 0 /usr/bin/find /var/log -name 'btmp' -or -name 'wtmp' -or -name 'faillog' -or -name 'firewalld' | xargs -r truncate --size 0 /usr/bin/find /var/log -name 'mail.err' -or -name 'mail.info' -or -name 'mail.warning' | xargs -r truncate --size 0 # remove /usr/bin/find /var/log -name '*.[0-9]' -or -name '*.gz' | xargs -r rm -f # vacuum systemd-journald [ -d /var/log/journal ] && journalctl --vacuum-size=${JOURNAL_SIZE} fi Thus armbian-truncate-logs still produces the same error : /usr/lib/armbian# ./armbian-truncate-logs ./armbian-truncate-logs: 24: /etc/default/armbian-ramlog: Syntax error: "(" unexpected Despite that variables are well parsed from armbian-ramlog : armbian# [ -f /etc/default/armbian-ramlog ] && . /etc/default/armbian-ramlog armbian# echo $USE_RSYNC true armbian# echo $SIZE 50M armbian-truncate-logs script doesn't contain XTRA_RSYNC_FROM=() procedure. Could you show both fixed /usr/lib/armbian/armbian-truncate-logs script and /etc/default/armbian-ramlog ?

This is a different issue. Operand below from the script executes without error on its own. [ -d /var/log/journal ] && journalctl --vacuum-size=5M The current error comes from some sort of syntax error in the script as it explicitly raises : Syntax error: "(" unexpected

u-boot compiled from mainline sources logs the following error when booting Espressobin v.7: kernel: spi-nor spi0.0: unrecognized JEDEC id bytes: e7 60 16 00 00 00 kernel: spi-nor: probe of spi0.0 failed with error -2 It seems, that U-Boot found the flash but couldn't find its JEDEC ID in its table. Typically this means support is not compiled in, and you need to add support in the U-Boot configuration. Will it be taken care of in future mainline sources, so that new spi id's are added to uboot?

I wonder if mainline u-boot is capable booting ZFS file system and logical volume manager? It is worth considering setting up Armbian directly on the ZFS as SSD and SD cards are far from being reliable. I've experienced a series of hard setbacks due to their failures. Apparently, only those file systems are supported : => fstypes Supported filesystems: fat, ext4, btrfs, squashfs

We discussed this issue on Feb. 10th here: eth0 is the internal switch interface. It is not used in providing user network functionality. It has neither any PHY interface, no it requires any ip address. If DHCP is left enabled, it inquires a supplementary address from the DHCPD server, like it was my case here : Mar 12 10:16:01 tiger dhcpd[981]: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:51:82:11:22:00 (espressobin) via lan Mar 12 10:16:02 tiger dhcpd[981]: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.1.244 to 00:51:82:11:22:00 (espressobin) via lan Mar 12 10:16:05 tiger dhcpd[981]: DHCPDISCOVER from 6e:05:2a:97:c4:0c via lan Mar 12 10:16:05 tiger dhcpd[981]: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:51:82:11:22:00 (espressobin) via lan Mar 12 10:16:05 tiger dhcpd[981]: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.1.244 to 00:51:82:11:22:00 (espressobin) via lan Mar 12 10:16:06 tiger dhcpd[981]: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.1.243 to 6e:05:2a:97:c4:0c (espressobin) via lan Mar 12 10:16:06 tiger dhcpd[981]: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.1.243 (192.168.4.15) from 6e:05:2a:97:c4:0c (espressobin) via lan Mar 12 10:16:06 tiger dhcpd[981]: DHCPACK on 192.168.1.243 to 6e:05:2a:97:c4:0c (espressobin) via lan Despite it, espressobin is accessible through x.243 only.

User can switch between them if he prefers NetworkManager.

I was building on Debian 10 host. It would be quite cumbersome to reinstall everything. I don't have currently another spare host. I am waiting for the cable for my new espressobin setup running Bullseye. Once it gets delivered, I'll be able using it for the new build. Will it be possible to build image on an Arm system? Alternatively, could I reproduce the last failed step from Bullseye@espressobin, thus creating the image on a different host ?

Could you provide with more detailed directions for the above tasks, so that they could be executed? Our recent experience with @Pali building mainline u-boot could serve as a good example and practice.

Could you be more specific if anything needs to be done.

It doesn't help either. Log mount is saturating VEEERY quickly. While I was installing different services, I was blocked several times with the log mount reaching the limits. The whole armbian-ramlog service needs to be revisited.
