gdm85 Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 Recently I wanted to give another try to a NanoPi NEO Plus2 but I noticed that it is marked as not supported and there is no Armbian Bionic image for it (the links in https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-neo-plus2/ return 404). So I checked about other FriendlyElec H5 boards: https://www.armbian.com/download/?tx_soc=h5&tx_maker=friendlyelec (I had to edit the URL as otherwise one cannot add multiple filters) And I picked the K1 plus as a close relative; the Bionic image seems working without any issue, I will keep testing and report back. The only minor issue that I could find so far is that htop will show 0 Mhz for all cores. I have reported in the past about issues with the 2nd USB however this is also not reproducible with the K1 plus image. May I suggest to add it at least as a testable image, with the proper tailoring? Other relevant thread:

Image is missing by mistake and the reason is there is virtually no help for boring maintenance work - wasting hours, days and weeks nobody even notice ...

I don't know about that USB port since I don't have this particular board. This problem should be addressed by someone that knows stuff and have hardware. Once patch to fix this is added I will test it (on neo2 hw) and remake images. 6 hours ago, gdm85 said: I had to edit the URL as otherwise one cannot add multiple filters Tell Content Views Pro to fix this https://www.contentviewspro.com/contact/ I already did a year ago, but didn't help.

"NO OFFICIAL SUPPORT (CSC)" as displayed in red in https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-neo-plus2/ I don't need Buster for this box; do you know where I should report the 404 missing images issue since it's missing by mistake?
Igor Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 Ahaa, you are talking about Neo2, Neo plus2 and a little about K1 No official support is because nobody around has this (Neo Plus2) board and/or claimed help - I only have ES version which is very different and am already covering way too much ... 30 minutes ago, gdm85 said: do you know where I should report the 404 missing images issue since it's missing by mistake? Its a job of maintaining this file https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/targets.conf which you can also do. The rest is semi automatic.
gdm85 Posted December 23, 2019 Author Posted December 23, 2019 @Igor I have edited the URL in first post, that was a copy/paste mistake. I intended https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-neo-plus2/ also there. Thanks, I was looking for a way to contribute specifically for this issue on GitHub, I will try.

I noticed this commit there; would they be re-created automatically given enough time? (I am not familiar with the Armbian image building process). I can volunteer for testing images on eMMC/microSD, although this device might not always be easy to reach for me in a month or so.
legogris Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 @gdm85 I'm considering this board as a wifi hotspot and I'm curtious what kind of speeds you see over Ethernet / Wi-Fi?
gdm85 Posted February 20, 2020 Author Posted February 20, 2020 @legogris I don't have benchmarks; on ethernet it is recognized as 1Gbps/Full. Generally for SBCs I care most about not having kernel panics and other instability problems. Just avoid boards which have a single silicon for ethernet/usb/sdio and you should be good.

Already placed an order last week but FriendlyELEC seems hit by coronavirus or something. 7 days now and zero communication despite reachouts over e-mail, forum PMs and phone calls. If it weren't for their track record and the lockdown in Guangzhou I'd just assumed I've been scammed. Thinking if I should do a chargeback or keep waiting :/ EDIT: What do you know, I just logged in on their webshop and the order was marked as shipped today, so I guess things are moving and they're just overwhelmed and low on english-speaking staff.
