Didn't know about that. Thanks!

 

@dony71

 

Try now.

compile finished, however cannot boot with image burnt into sdcard

mount image "sudo mount -o offset=1048576 -t ext4 /media/sdcard" shows failure image wrong format

what is the format of image?

If you are building on Ubuntu 16.05 you are not following the guide (you are running an unsupported host) and the only proper answer is - you are on your own to find a problem.

 

"compilation environment is highly recommended to be Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 x64 or Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 x64 (other releases are not officially supported)"

 

Stick to Ubuntu 16.04 x64 LTS, Xenial and we will help and fix problems in no time if they occur.

I know about it. My system initially was "Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 x64". I tried to collect under her, the same mistake that it is given by me above. Then it has decided to be updated till Ubuntu 16.04 x64 LTS  (Excuse I I have peed the pants in the message above. At me 16.04), the result hasn't changed.

The message of "I make image under Ubuntu 16.05.1 LTC. " should be read how "I make image under Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS. ".

It looks like deboostrap process did not finish properly. Remove cache and try again would be my first idea. If you are running upgraded Xenial from Trusty you are facing with another risk. It should work but ... :)

 

I just tested to build and it works fine.

I tried. I deleted output/cache/rootfs then restarted compile.sh, a mistake similar. I deleted output/cache then restarted compile.sh, a mistake similar. I won't understand in what a problem. Can be that Ubuntu under VMPlayer?

If you can, start from clean image within virtual machine. Get Ubuntu Xenial base image and our script makes the rest. This way it works 100% ... unless you got some network issues. In this case deboostrap process also fails ... but you won't get that far without a net anyway.

Ok. Thanks for answers. And I will make. I don't see other way

Please check if your custom apt-cacher server works, also look at console output (or use PROGRESS_LOG_TO_FILE=yes) to get exact error message when debootstrap fails.

I understand that "debootstrap" doesn't fulfill up to the end as the "$CACHEDIR/sdcard/" catalog isn't created therefore the script of "debootstrap-ng.sh" comes to the end on a condition:

 

[[ ${PIPESTATUS[0]} -ne 0 || ! -f $CACHEDIR/sdcard/bin/bash ]] && exit_with_error "Debootstrap base system second stage failed"

 

I don't understand why it occurs?

hi

I bought a Orange Pi Plus 2E and install ARMBIAN 5.25 stable Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 3.4.113-sun8i.

I want use it as a TV-Server with Astrometa DVB-Stick (MN88473) link . So i need a Kernel 4x.

I try this 

root@orangepiplus2e:~# wget -q -O - http://upgrade.armbian.com | bash

But get this error: [ error ] Unsupported hw

I read this:
  

HARDWARE=$(cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep Hardware | awk '{print $3}')
if [[ !( "$HARDWARE" == "sun7i" || "$HARDWARE" == "Allwinner" || "$HARDWARE" == "sun4i" ) ]]; then
    echo -e "[\e[0;31m error \x1B[0m] Unsupported hw"; exit;

But 

root@orangepiplus2e:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep Hardware
Hardware    : sun8i

 

Can anybody help me

 

ciao nepo

 

P.S. sorry for my english

This tool was made for older boards, is deprecated in any case and is about to be removed.

 

Upgrade for H3 boards from legacy to mainline is not yet ready for end users ... kernel is still in development stage and you can run into various troubles, for which its impossible to provide end user help since things are changing on daily basis. If you still want to try, check this page: https://www.armbian.com/kernel to see which packages you need to change and do some forum search. It has been brought up few times.

It's possible that all those H3 boards are not fully supported yet in new (development) kernel since each board needs it's own hardware configuration config.

 

We haven't done that yet for all boards.

hi

I will try it (and have no fear :blink:)

Quote

And the question is: what will be support?

I don't need everything, "only" emmc, network(cable), usb and everything for dvb.

I will see ...

For server usage its O.K. for some time (with minor problems) and you could use it. Kernel is more or less o.k., but I would not recommend to use it in production environment. Not yet, we need more testing, so welcome to join ... I use one H3 board with this kernel for my IPTV server for example.

 

The actual problem here is, that exactly this board is not yet properly configured and tested.

Hi

 

I want to say Thanks !!!

At the moment, everything is OK (vdr-server, nfs-server ...) -> pretty good :) Great job!

 

One questions:

Can I use dist-upgrade, if a new armbian-version exist or  I must compile the new version with your script again ?

 

Bye nepo

In general yes, but since you are using an unsupported development version which will once become stable, update will stop one day ... we don't provide auto update from development to stable. Package naming is changed from DEV to NEXT or DEFAULT -> you will need to change packages when you notice, that we pushed out stable versions.

hello again :D

 

I tested this image Armbian_5.27_Orangepiplus2e_Debian_jessie_dev_4.10.3, everything ok only the Tv-Output.

 

I have the same problem to fit this description :

That build was the first one that used the new 4.9.0 kernel. I noticed a somewhat rare, intermittent video corruption when watching 1080i h.264 TV channels - usually a flash of green artifacts. Those video artifacts appear once in 5-10 minutes (sometimes more frequent). (I use it as tvserver with RPI3 (Raspian Jessie and Kodi) as client.

So I want to try another kernel.

I read this post and I insert in my compile.sh 

KERNELTAG="v4.4.58"

Of course, nothing happen, still the same kernel 4.10.3. so I read your documentation about patches , kernel configs and ..., but I understand nothing (not at all)  :(. I'm "only" a user - copy and paste try and error.

Can I build a kernel e.g. v4.4.50 (like my raspi) and if how I can do that ?

H3 support in 4.4.x kernel is close to zero, so the only way to go is forward and wait for the stable mainline releases.

 Thanks for fast answer :D

4.4.50 is only an example, higher untill 4.8

The problem is that until most things hit mainline we'll be using 3rd party branches (i.e these) with a lot of patches on top, so switching kernel versions could not be done without changing/rebasing the patches, in other words it won't be as easy as setting KERNELBRANCH='branch:orange-pi-4.8' in the build system

I will try it.

Change configuration.sh

Quote

ARMBIAN_MAINLINE_KERNEL_VERSION='4.10'
MAINLINE_KERNEL_BRANCH=tag:v$(wget -qO- https://www.kernel.org/finger_banner | awk '{print $NF}' | grep -oE "^${ARMBIAN_MAINLINE_KERNEL_VERSION//./\\.}\.?[[:digit:]]*" | tail -1)

in

Quote

ARMBIAN_MAINLINE_KERNEL_VERSION='4.8'

'KERNELBRANCH='branch:orange-pi-4.8'

Right ?

And like this post

Quote

When you go back with version, patches might break. You will need to deal with that ... check output/debug/patching.log for details and fix patches. In case patches are not important for you, disable them.

No other way.

  How I can disable patches - in configuration files or during the process of compile (configure kernel)
