gdm85 Posted December 22, 2019 Share 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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 Share 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 manually recreated missing images, but the table still needs adjustment and images needs to be tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legogris Posted February 11, 2020 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm85 Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share 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.
