fr3d Posted May 6, 2020 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted May 6, 2020 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted May 6, 2020 Share 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 ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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).
