fr3d Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 So recently I decided to use my (quite old) tinker board, I downloaded the last armbian (desktop, 4.4.213) OS, managed to install a vncserver (x11vnc) and also to use it without a screen plugged in it. And now I would like to turn it into a urbackup server, but I got some error with mdadm, "Module md_mod not found in directory /lib/modules/4.4.213-rockchip". I tried to use this forum to find a solution (https://github.com/armbian/build), but I couldn't make it work. When i tipe ´´git clone https://github.com/armbian/build´´ it stop around 7% at resolving deltas, and it just freeze. Someone could have any idea how to solve this issue?? And i can't get my armbianmonitor link to paste...... Thanks guys.
Werner Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) Maybe the md stuff is missing like it was in sunxi quite a while ago: https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/9efe564caf98454cd51ca433cdaa048d824cb709 Github running nicely for me. Must be an issue on your side. I'll take a look into. Changes:https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/583ca176109ce14137ecd288e1c8b56b8c536008 I'll build a kernel package with the adjusted config an put a link to it here for you so you can install and test it. Edit: https://armbian.laet.pw/_extra/ Grab linux-dtb-legacy-rockchip_20.05.0-trunk_armhf.deb linux-headers-legacy-rockchip_20.05.0-trunk_armhf.deb linux-image-legacy-rockchip_20.05.0-trunk_armhf.deb linux-u-boot-legacy-tinkerboard_20.05.0-trunk_armhf.deb and simply install them via dpkg -i *.deb then reboot.

fr3d Posted May 6, 2020 Author Posted May 6, 2020 Hi Werner. Thanks. I'll try it. In the mean time I tried to do it trought the cockpit terminal, and I worked, sort of. I can run all, but i get /home/fr3d/build/lib/configuration.sh: line 304: getfacl: command not found [ o.k. ] Preparing [ host ] [ .... ] Please read documentation to set up proper compilation environment [ .... ] http://www.armbian.com/using-armbian-tools/ [ error ] ERROR in function prepare_host [ general.sh:789 ] [ error ] Running this tool on non x86-x64 build host in not supported [ o.k. ] Process terminated And I've discovered I can only let it run for like 90 minutes, after that it just turn off, none of the led is on/blinking. But that's a problem for tomorrow. 'Night.

But that's a problem for tomorrow. You need a Intel/AMD 64Bit x86 CPU - the build system will not run on a 64Bit ARM-CPU-system: What do you need to get started? "x64 machine with at least 2GB of memory and ~30GB of disk space for the VM, container or native OS"
Igor Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 59 minutes ago, fr3d said: after that it just turn off, none of the led is on/blinking. Main reasons for shutting the bord down are two: - unstable power (mUSB is unstable by default) - reaching critical temperature This is my test Tinkerboard - its currently up for 3 days since last reboot and during this uptime it was exposed to many brutality Tinkerboard Linux 5.4.38-rockchip U-Boot 2018.11-armbian nightly [ 22:59:18 - 30.204 Uptime: 3 days 2:48 ]
fr3d Posted May 12, 2020 Author Posted May 12, 2020 @Werner Thanks for the links, i managed to make it work for like 5 days as my little backup server with urbackup.

Again, thank you. @Igor You were right, I plugged a Raspberry power plug, and now it work flawlessly. Before I was using a normal usb cable (old phone charger).
