I seem to be running around in circles trying to make a decision about a new SBC to add to the herd. The job is currently being done by an OrangePi PC (H3, 1Gb), and is mostly about generating static web sites, which means rendering static HTML/json/js files and uploading them via SCP to a cheap shared hosting provider (the orange pi does not do the actual hosting). This means daily downloading of data from the web (a few hundred MB) and crunching this data to use it for the site. Currently it downloads my country's official covid cases data and generates per-city-daily-cases-per-capita with rolling averages in HTML graphs, this allows easier compa…

Hello, I am trying to activate and use canbus on the BananaPi M4. Since the BananaPi M4 is released half a year ago, it seems like never anybody tried this or just don't needed any help. I am googleing for days now to find any solution and get canbus to work. Hardware: BananaPi M4 System: armbian for BananaPi M4 (Debian 10 Buster Lite) Kernel: 4.9.119-BPI-M4-Kernel I want to use it over SPI like on an raspberrypi 3 there I done the following: Added to the /boot/config.txt dtoverlay=mcp2515-can0,oscillator=16000000,interrupt=6 dtoverlay=spi-bcm2835-overlay After an reboot I activated the…

Hi there, I noticed that current Raspbian distributions use an extra group called "gpio" for /dev/sys/gpio access. Somewhere I read that this coud be accomplished via udev but I also read that /sys is not affected by udev (only /dev). Anyhow, what can I do to permanently set gpio permissions to a group e.g. "gpio"? Would it be of general interest to include this in Armbian?

Hello guys and girls, I'm new around here, looking for a board to power my network storage needs. Up until now I've been running a 2TB USB3 Seagate Expansion connected to a ASUS AC68U router and things were just fine until free space started to be a problem. Recently I "inherited" a 2TB USB 2 Seagate Expansion which I was thinking of putting to good use. Some other 2.5" SATA HDD's might come my way in the future so I was thinking of taking a stone of the router and building a small NAS. The main usage will be SMB served sequential operations involving video files (daily) and occasional backups. The current numbers stay around 25-30 MB/s writ…

Hello! Firstly, I would like to thank the Armbian devs for their awesome work, without it a lot of my boards would have such a poor support... I am currently doing a school project which involves embedded pentesting, using a drone. I am looking for: the cheapest (we have a limited budget) the most powerful (to use some tools such as password cracking) the most energy efficient (it will running on powerbank/batteries) the lightest and the smallest (to be embedded in a drone) it has to have full size USB ports/OTG/headers (to connect an external powerful WiFi adapter) and if possible, has to have WiFi embedded (we might control …

Hi Armbians Maybe some of you already wanted to put your SBC in a professional data center and operate it as a standalone server for DNS, VPN, Tor, or whatever. That is exactly why I have put together a huge list of worldwide DC provider options, that are willing to colocate SBC‘s. It could certainly be of interest to one or the other. Check my list here: *** SBC colocation/ SBC hosting worldwide provider megalist ***

Recently, nothing is happening on the SBC market. Libre Computer seems to be in a bad financial condition after having failed with La frite and the kickstarter campaign. Projects on SBC on cpu amlogic S912 and S922 are dead and it is not known if they will see the light of day. Pine is busy with its smartphone and probably nothing new will not be released yet. Xunlong who lives not from sales but from subsidies from the Chinese government is also silent. Expected allwinner processors from the new A100, A200 series are just under design. Only khadas released VIM3L from the S905X3 cpu. They even have a linux image already on this board. It can be downloaded from the khadas …

In one post here I saw a "please buy hardware we recommend" quote, and I appreciate that, but I wasn't able to find a recommended boards list - is there even one? Or should I just use the standard/platinum support filtering on the main page? Anyway, I could also use some help / recommendation for a general purpose SBC as I ... didn't by one for years. I'm looking for a more recent SBC to run a small, low power server (think pihole, homeassistant, zigbee, etc). I don't have specific requirements, but I'd like the board to have some kind of "long term support" and I'd also like to choose something that the armbian team would recommend, maybe from a manufacturer …

Hey guys, I am thinking to build a wireless router from a single board computer, so my requirement is that the chosen board to support Linux to have at least one Gigabit port and also to have a PCIe port to connect an external WiFi card and antennas and eventually attach one or more SSDs. So far I looked on the Internet and I am wondering which is a better board for this project Rockpro64, Banana PI BPI-R2 or the EspressoBin. The advantages of the EspressoBin are: it has built-in networking switch with one dedicated WAN and two LAN interfaces all 1Gbps dedicated SATA interface miniPCIe slot for wireless cards stable Armbian support …

Hey folks, Wondering if anyone has come across a dual core or better single board computer that has dual native gigabit ethernet? I'm also trying to find something around $50.. so far the best I've found is the: NXP FRDM-LS1012A-PA - $50 which has good BSP and hardware packet accelerator but only single core @ 800 MHz As a last resort, I'm considering the NanoPi Neo4 with a USB to Gigabit ethernet adapter, thats about $75 with heatsink and USB 3.0 to Gigabit adapter.

At the moment I run a local Jellyfin server on an older amd64 system which @NicoD would call a giant space heater Anyway it would be nice if a proper SBC could replace this thing, last but not least to save a decent amount of space The question is which board is capable and has the proper software support? Anyone here does have experience with video acceleration on SBCs using media servers like plex, emby, jellyfin or whatever they all may called and if so which board, which kernel and how well do things work? Since the data backend is network storage the board does not need either lots of USB3 connectors (one decent is enough for caching) n…

A Beelink X2 by default boots into Android with KODI and can be interrupted to instead boot into Armbian off an SD card. It might be quite advantageous to use a microSD card to jump start Armbian installed on a USB stick plugged in. Cost is one reason: the TF cards cost what the Beelink does, and lots of us have lots of premium USB sticks at less than half the price. This way it could be easier to experiment and even have a personal USB stick for friends and family. When it comes to family media this would help everyone. Myself I'd try various home clouds and server schemes, and whatever wins, just run that from the TF slot later on. Plus if you …

Looking to find out why the Orange Pi OS Build isn't finding this file. Tried on two separate Linux 18.04 OS and neither has this file. When running Build_OrangePi.sh, right after entering the initial password, it drops out and claims the file lib32z1-dev not locate able. The only thing I can think is I need to install the SDK to build the OrangePi OS for this? Trying to do this from the Orange Pi Git Hub. https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/OrangePi_Build Thanks for any help.

Hi, I'm missing a feature on the armbian download page, that I think was existing on an older version of this website. Let's say: I'm looking for a board, that is: - Supported - Has a SATA Connector - Supports Wireguard - Supports Docker How can I do that? Despite of browsing through every board. Thanks for your feedback. Regards

Hello, There is a software I ported to armhf (32bits), running very well on a Raspberry Pi3 (probably Pi 2 will do it) and I'd like to know where I could post to obtain feedback for other arm machines ? I can provide it under .deb form, or as pre-installed in a .tar.gz or whatever on demand Thanks in advance for redirecting me if I'm on the wrong place. -- ericb

I've built my own security cameras for about 8 years (using computer vision, ML, etc.), but now I want to do something off the shelf so to speak. I just wired my attic to my office with cat 6 cable and my house is wired with cat5e, More than likely the cameras will be plugged directly into the SBC from the attic via PoE. My question is which SBC would be able to handle hardware H265 decoding using 4K cameras at 30 fps? That's about 27 Mbps per camera times 4 cameras. iperf test from my attic showed 961 Mbps using ODroid XU4. So my questions are: Which SBC can handle H265 hardware decoding of four 4K cameras? I want to have 2 1Gbps ports, so I can have camera…

Hi all, I've been working on a project in educational technology for some time now, and it's been about three months since I started looking into arm-linux and Armbian. About me Goal: sub-$100 computers with 11"or better display. Modular, easy to repair. Successor to OLPC. We will do it better. Backstory: I was with an NGO teaching English and Maths to underprivileged kids in North-East India, and I found that progress was startlingly slow. We were able to spend only two hours a week with these kids, and it was simply not enough. I was aware at the time of apps like Duolingo which were extremely effective due to fact that the student can self-learn on theit OWN TIM…

Hello ... I'm seeking for any device(s) with RTL8189FTV and RTL8211E chips. It's does not matter "what it is" ...

I have been having some long running, on and off discussion with @lanefu in IRC (and elsewhere), because I know this is his area of expertise. However he is busy, and I can appreciate he might not want to spend his free time talking about stuff he gets paid to do M-F. Then I also realized, certainly I am not the only one interested in Armbian in order to be doing such things. So I thought I would make a thread about this, instead, to open the discussion to a larger group people here in the broader community. I have my own thoughts, concerns, things I want to do, and have already done, but I thought I would make a more general thread where like …

Hey all, Selling my Helios64 as I've recently upgraded my server if anyone is looking. Fully built, original condition with all drive bays and screws. Sadly no original packaging, seem to have discarded that for some reason and it has been sitting in direct sunlight so has a slither of fading on the top but still working away fine up until a few days ago. Drop me a PM if you're interested or are looking to get some pics. Given it's size and weight I'd only be looking to ship this within the UK, possibly mainland Europe at a push. Thanks

Hi, I decided to sell my Helios64 full bundle: - Helios64 box (case, board, UPS) - 5 3.5" HDD trays (+ screws) - 2 PSU (the original one and an additional compatible Synology one I bought because I saw some posts where people reported a broken PSU) It served me well during 2 years, however the lack of official support and missing features are showstoppers for me, and I recently replaced it with a custom x86 build. I am sure people here would be interested in it. The Helios64 works perfectly and is in very good shape, it was off the most of the time, I only started it when I needed to make a backup. The board is untouched (I di…

Hi all, I'm interested in developing and selling a product containing an Orange Pi or Raspberry Pi with embedded software protected by Intellectual Property. I would like it to be as hard as possible for a customer/hacker to get root access or steal software or data out of it. I found the OrangePi to have an 8GB eMMC which would be enough for both OS and our data and probably would be more secure than SD. I'm aware of how to secure network and application layers, but how to secure the device from a customer/hacker who bought the device and thus have physical access to it? I would like to prevent or make it very hard for him to read the eMMc memory or g…

Hi, What is difference between " Server " and " Desktop"?

Hello! I want to replace my old "Server" (Pi 1B) with something more powerfull. In the same move, I want to use my server to do a lot more things than it does now. To be future-proof I would like my server to have GbE and 2 GB RAM. I would also love internal storage that I am able to do software RAID 1 with my SD-Card for security (Could I also use an simple USB-Stick instead of onboard flash?). Also I want to have a Home-NAS for Backups. (SATA; GbE) I am wondering if I should combine the two into one ... in this case, the Server-OS would be backed up probably on my workstation. Why using two devices if I could use one ... It would have lots of m…

I've noticed that since yesterday the `server` Armbian images disappeared from the product pages. Example: https://www.armbian.com/radxa-rock-5-itx/ I can no longer see them.

Hi, I developed this app just while having a look at django + angular -> https://github.com/vijaygill/wg-ui-plus I thought of sharing it with open-source communiity which has given me a lot! It allows me to have finer control over what a given VPN client can access (using IP Tables rules - managed by the code itself) I hope somebody finds it useful. It is comes as docker image (published on every push to dev / master) so updates are quite frequent for now due to tweaks / fixes. I developed it on an Orange Pi 5+ running on Armbian . The LIVE instance is running on a Raspberry Pi. …

I needed a small zero cross detector to switch SSR's efficiently and properly in my DIY reflow oven so I designed these in KiCad, and built them. They are optically isolated (5000V Isolation) and Low power (less than 120mW) so are safe to hook up to any board supported by Armbian (or any other SBC) (provided you safely wired them to the mains) and produce a nice open drain low going pulse for 1ms (50Hz AC) centred dead around zero cross. (about 0.83ms for 60Hz AC). On the digital side they will interface to any logic level between 1.8V and 5V. The thing is I only need 2, and I have spares because I had to get 10 PCB's minimum. I have decided to build them…

Hey, https://github.com/initBasti/NanoPC-T4_armbian_configuration I would really appreciate any review or comments The bottom part talks about configuring and working with the camera so it is unrelated to the armbian configuration. Greetings Sebastian

I have recently designed some UI interface for a smart home project, is there any good suggestion on what features should be added.

I just released my multi-system game emulator (GameBoy+NES+GameGear for now). Optimized for directly outputting to SPI LCD displays (e.g. ili9341). Runs on any CPU type, but has optimizations for ARM+X64. I wrote 100% of the code, so it might be behave differently than other game emulators. GB+GG are nearly perfect. NES is missing some popular mappers. The code is very optimized to begin with, but also uses a dirty-tile system to minimize the data sent to the SPI bus. This allows inexpensive SPI displays (e.g. ili9341) to run at or near 60 frames per second for many games even though the SPI bus can only do 30FPS of full screen updates. https://github.com/bitbank2/sg_fre…

I am using an ATX SMPS to power my Orange Pi Plus 2 via 5V supply. It worked fine for a couple of days without problem until yesterday. I happend to connect my audio amplifier TPA3116 which worked fine. After which when i was switching some cables i happend to short the 12V supply. The smps immediately shut itself down. Now i removed the short and disconnect the audio amplifier from 12V supply. After this when i started the orange pi there was no more any indication. I wanted to know that if the 12V short let to an inrush current spike at the 5V power section. If any one on this forum is aware of fuses present on the orange pi board.

Hi, I have some Siemens s7-1200 plc 's at a remote site and I need a client application to read (only) from the plc registers (Mostly DB200) and tiger an alarm that will send an email. For the moment I use an ewon router for remote communication and also read from the registers, tiger alarms and send emails. I know that Snap7 is working on ARM (e.g. cubietruck) with Siemens s7-1200 plc 's, so If someone is able write an application (at a logical cost) i would be interested to pay for it. I prefer the application to be compatible with amrbian on olinuxino. Set up of armbian with watchdog and smtp server would be also appreciated.

Wherein I explain my conversion... Pine64 was barely on my radar in the past. There are so many SBC and companies just trying to sell crap it can be hard to tell who is who some times, until you look into one company / board / device or another, a little more in depth. I have been following Librem 5 development for a long time, so I was aware of PinePhone, but they seemed in my mind back then a bit like a "Johnny come lately" who were just trying to capitalize on whatever Purism were trying to do. Then @lanefu was raving about his PineBookPro in IRC, it was only then I started really poking around their forums the last month or so, a…

I've seen TKaiser make reference to different SOC's as good, bad, etc. and was wondering if there is any info available on the forum about the different SOC's. The good, the bad, the ugly, etc. would be really good. I've gotten several boards, but later I found the armbian site, and the forum where I've seen bad comments about different SOC's. I might be looking for a new board to play with in the future, and knowing which SOC is good, or bad would be really nice to know before starting the research on the next pi like device.

I am thinking of connecting up to four 1080p IP cameras and recording to a SATA HDD. Is it better to use a faster H3 board but with slower USB/SATA bridge (say, Orange Pi Plus 2), or a slower A20 board with faster SATA (say, Banana Pi M1+)?

Hi, from armbian-config I can install several programs, e.g. softether VPN Server. The version installed is rather old now (nevertheless it is still working).

Hi folks, I upgraded my server towards a bigger machine and unfortunately neither my parents nor brothers need a reliable fileserver. So this little machine goes on sale. - Helios64 with all trays + 2 SSD inserts - Fully assembled - Original packaging - Changed the two fans for Noctuas in order to get an even more silent server What's missing is the Battery for UPS. Mine was faulty and caused me some random reboots. Condition is mint / very good. System is stable with 5.15.93 running OMV6. If you would like pictures of the machine itself please drop me a note.

Hello there, I have been doing research in regards to finding software or a script that has the ability to monitor the microphone noise and compare it to a wav file I have previously recorded. I've found a technique where someone uses SOX and identifies the maximum amplitude of the noise using a ruby script. It sounds like it should work but I'm worried about false positives. I'm curious if there is something out there that compares the microphones sound spectrograph with the wav file in real time? My end goal is to be able to monitor my basements sump pump usage. When the pump runs, the PI listens then, hits a URL using curl which then insert a…

I am using STM32F103CBT7 for my design with HAL functions at a 72MHz system clock. SPI 1 is configurated as Master, 16-bit data width at 18 MBits/s. When sending data out, there is a data bit on the MOSI pin, but there is no Clock pulse on the SCK pin. I can't figure out what is wrong. Any suggestion?

The past few weeks I did see a lot of anger and frustration on this forum. Key contributors of the forum (.. Armbian developers) seem to struggle with the level of their audience. People ask for functionality which is not around because of bad hardware, people aspect certain things from Armbian which are not possible, people expect “out of the box” solutions, no feedback from users, etc., etc. I personally think this is getting more and more a problem. The risk is that key Armbian developers get frustrated and not motivated to continue their absolute fantastic contribution to the development of “THE NUMBER ONE OS” for SoC Arm boards! I think it is best t…

That way the Google server will be queried first, which I think is wrong, considering privacy implications. Why is it hardcoded anyway? As I understand it, it comes from /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head? this should not include anything. Would be nice If somebody could clarify why it is implemented that way. Thanx

Hi, I installed armbian on my "Orange Pi Plus 2 E" With EMMC. I want to undo EMMC. how? i don't know. Can someone help me please Thanks

Hi - I flashed a new nanopineo2 with debian9 ( Armbian_5.44.180510_Nanopineo2_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.40 ) and set this to stable build before updating to latest "stable". Next step after reboot is to configure my static network ( eth0 ), but here things tend to be a bit different than previous flash ? Previously in advanced I edited /etc/network/interfaces to add my DNS-servers but in this build it seems " Network is managed by NetworkManager " so I instea I used " nmtui " to set these for "Wired Connection 1". Unfortunately I still see in /etc/resolv.conf : " nameserver 8.8.8.8 " first before my entries. I like to get rid of this nameserver but I am unable to…

Full disclosure: I was one of the winner of a free Station P1 and they ask to provide a few postings about it. So this will be my first one where I unbox it. Funnily I did expect some kind a cardboard box but instead I received a plastic bag. Well, I take it. Within the Fedex bag was another bag from DHL. No idea what happened there... Anyway inside the bubble wrap I found a HDMI cable, a remote control a flyer presenting various products and (finally) a car Apparently I received one of the first products since mine has the serial number 000049 After opening the box I was greeted with the Station…

Here a YT video about the new Station P2. I love the design. SATA and NVMe now fit in the case. A bit more usb is great. Dual Gbit ethernet, wifi 6 and up to 8GB ram. RK3568. I hope they'll also make an rk3588 model.I like their metal cases a lot.

Guys, is this ever happening? Jessie on C1+ doesn't work good enough, throws kernel panics and so on. Is Stretch still happening?

Hello, I want to test Armbian Buster with OMV on my Bananapi M2U / Berry but it´s not stable and I can´t install OMV. So I want to install Stretch minimal again but I can´t find the image. Can someone tell me please, where I can download the Armbian Stretch minimal Image for Bananapi M2U / Berry? Thank You!

This post is to share my successful webcam installation with Armbian and one of my SBC’s (orange pi plus). I’ve used a Logitech C270 which can be purchased from eBay for roughly 20 Euros. Also el-cheapo shops like lightinthebox sell the C270. Benefit of such a cam is that you now have a cable from your SBC to your cam which makes (physical) cam installation easier IMHO. Also IMHO the C270 is a better camera than the famous GC2035, but it is also more expensive. Price / 'bang for the buck' ratio is more or less the same for both camera’s if you ask me. You get what you pay for. Enough talk now: the installation All I did was a fresh Armbian desktop v5.20 …

Hello. I've been playing with several low-cost SBCs for a couple of weeks now and I'm totally hooked on these incredible little things. Most of my boards are Orange Pi's simply because of the low cost (but I do have ODROID XU4 and a couple RPis too). Somehow one of my favorites seem to be the little OPi Zero (H2+), I'm using it as a "shell account" for if and when I need access to linux command line (most of my "big machines" are Win-based). However the Zero's POE implementation is... kinda non-existant really. You can read more about it elsewhere, let's just say it isn't usable without additional hardware. For my purposes, the OPiZero H2+ is powe…

So I see lots of comments re how bad the A64 and H5 SBCs are. Is anyone having good luck with any ARMv8 system? I will note that I had decent stability using the Odroid C2 with Hardkernel's own images, which run 64-bit mode. But maybe something better has emerged?

Hello guys, After seeing a friend bought and tried a Raspberry Pi 5 device, I am very excited about what can be done with such a small single-board computer. So now I'm interested in getting a suitable single-board computer to buy. What SBC is suitable to buy if I want to use virtualization sofware such as VMware ESXi for ARM? Running multiple OS at once, is my mainly use. Getting used to Intel CPU & Windows and now I want to switch to ARM and Linux environment. Thanks in advanced.

Hi there, I was playing around with the new sun6i-csi driver and was able to capture up to 800x600, but if I try to capture with a higher resolution it will always fail: fswebcam -S 5 -d /dev/video0 -r 1600x1200 -p YUV420P test.jpg --- Opening /dev/video0...

is it possible to support 1440pi 2k resolution, where it is possible?

HI, what do you (Igor) think about supporting e.g. the following devices from Rikomagic with your nicely developped DEBIAN image: http://www.rikomagic.com/en/product/showpro_id_59_pid_19.html CPU: RK3288 Quad Core http://www.rikomagic.com/en/product/showpro_id_70_pid_22.html CPU: Allwinner A80 Octa Core Regards, Ireng

Greetings everyone, A couple years ago, I did my research and followed the recommendation here and on linux-sunxi to purchase a Cubietruck and have had excellent results. I use my small low power GNU/Linux sever for all manner of things including self hosted "cloud" (contact, calendar, file synchronization), XMPP messaging server, media server, etc... It has been such a success in fact that we are putting more and more of our valuable personal files on there like pictures, etc. and that has me thinking more and more about reliability, backup, etc... I became very interested in ZFS but my understanding is that it requires 64-bit, but th…

Hi there, I've been contacted by KoVu Inc. regarding their RK3328 "SwiftBoard", which should be a great candidate for NAS applications. Any thoughts? https://www.board-db.org/news/2018/01/08/kovu-swiftboard-data-nas-single-board-computer-sata-hdmi-2-0-emmc-gbe-android-armbian-openmediavault/ P.S.: I should receive a sample of this board in the next weeks, if you're interested in further updates. Cheers!

Is possible, in future release, to switch from .7z to another format directly compatible with Etcher? Like .zip, .gz, .bz2 or .xz Thanks

Looking to purchase a tablet with Android to run Armbian Desktop on. Any suggestions? Looking at the FreakTab forum and see a bunch of tablets listed but no subtopics of removal of Android. Here I was able to install Ubuntu just fine on my Intel based Pipo X7.

Hello, its posible to make ArmBian for Jetson TK1 ex. based on tool https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib ? Im use Armbian on Cubieboard and Orange Pi PC. Its great distro ! I have also Jetson TK1, but NVIDIA dosnt support it well. I want use on Jetson TK1 the almost newest kernel ( https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/NVIDIA/Jetson-TK1). Regards Pawel

A brief internet search revealed that Invision board software is supposed to accept bbcode. I wish there was a way to preview this, but it does not appear to be so. Since I prefer to edit my post in Emacs using bbcode mode before posting (I just lost a big post I was working on due to an errant keypress) I hope that it is alright I am testing this functionality. Feel free to delete this once it has been posted... unless somehow you feel it is useful? Well, here goes... Size 150 Size 200 bold italic underline link to google A paragraph. Another paragraph.

I am running on fedora as can be seen here. Fedora is not device-specific, only architecture-specific. If you want to experiment, drop in a distro-boot capable u-boot for your device in the firmware area and you should be good enough to go. I have never tested my image on a different device so YMMV.

Today's project is trying to get my game emulator to run on the NanoPi NEO Core board. Lots of exposed I/O, but I'm getting random hangs and some odd behavior with the latest Armbian. In the photo is a ILI9342 (landscape version) 2.3" display and some ugly protoboards I created to allow reliable wiring + sockets for the Core board. I just updated my SPI_LCD project to include support for both the ILI9342 and the Core board's strange header: https://github.com/bitbank2/SPI_LCD I had to wire the USB-A socket to the header because the OTG port is not properly enabled (in the available Armbian build). If I spent some time messing with it, there's probably a bunch …

I purchased 4 new Orange Pi's about a month ago and everything I tried I couldn't get them working as I wanted, something didn't work with most of the images from orange pi . org which led me to your site and 100% success straight off the internet, no problems, everything works perfectly on all 4 OPI's so thanks and keep up the excellent work you made my year.

Just a quick note to say thank you to the Developers for all that you do and have done to make our favorite Arm Linux Distro a success! My only wish is that you guys supported Raspberry Pi's, lol!

Hi, Just joined to say thanks to all to those that are involved in the development of Armbian. I recently bought an Orange Pi PC after reading the internet full of people bitching about non-booting devices, HDMI issues, overheating and general crapness. Decided to buy a Orange Pi PC nonetheless, found an old crap micro SD card, burnt Armbian (the internet has made it clear to not bother with the crap on the official Orange Pi website!) onto it and the thing booted without any issues! Typing this message from it as we speak in Iceweasel! The thing only cost me 9 quid, so decided to donate what I would have wasted in cash on a Raspberry Pi 3 (which is anything b…

is it css challenged at the moment or is it me? it looks like this here where the options to the right are overlapping making them difficult to use:

Hello, I am wondering if someday tutorials will be made available for ones who like the idea of using single board computers for projects, but have not learned to write their own code. Raspberry has an overabundance of people sharing what they have created [this for example https://tutorials-raspberrypi.com/setup-raspberry-pi-node-js-webserver-control-gpios/] I have made use of what I have searched and found to make my website again [my site], but at least for the computer hosting my relay interface I want to use better boards with more RAM. Should I learn to write some code and get the satisfaction of making it work by myself or should I wait for a future…

https://sites.google.com/site/zberrysbc/ Is it worth it? Assuredly not, but you can't help but smile if you have any sense of nostalgia. It also doesn't help that the entire thing can be implemented in an FPGA, although that may actually turn out to be more expensive...

I have Cubieboard plus (Cubieboard 5) . But there is not available any workig links of latest Armbian based on Ubuntu 18.04 with Kernel 5.x Can anybody point to such links or can anybody build such image for the device ? I am newbie in image building. At the time I use Armbian_5.51_Cubietruckplus_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.17.4 what I could find but onboard Wi-fi is disabled and I can not still enable it. It work well in Android.

Hi guys! Thought I'd let you know about a new board that I've just released - called the mmBoard. Has all the features that SBC hackers have been wanting, plus more. https://www.mickmake.com/post/announcing-the-mmboard-a-mickmake-sbc-with-all-the-goodies Let me know if there's any questions about it. Would be happy to answer them.

Hello all, After reading the Pine forums and having @tkaiser point out a few things I overlooked and/or missed I figured this might be a good place to ask a question that I've been trying to find the answer to. Please note that I'm not much of a hardware guy, I know the basics, enough to be dangerous. I am primarily a web applications developer and I use Raspberry Pis currently as testbeds for my server code. How do I accomplish this? Well I have (currently) a 7 Pi docker swarm based on hypriot's swarm image (I think it's a really cool package). Now for my question: I've been fine on CPU usage with only a few spikes, usually from an issue in the code I've written,…

I came across these recently and found several interesting things within, so thought I would share them. I debated posting this in Development, but wanted anyone to be able to see and reply to the thread. Anyway some parts I felt were important enough that I actually took down some notes and quotations, which I will include. Open drivers for Arm GPUs This looks like it was presentation LVC21-318 at Linaro Connect '21 on 2021-03-25. Video is available at above page, and also on ThemTube here. I found this a fascinating presentation. Alyssa contrasts the (proprietary) 'before times' with current situation whi…

I think I made a perfect device for people who have problems with SD cards on H3 Orange Pi or similar Allwinner based boards. Or for people who just hate the SD cards Why using a SD card if you can use your favorite USB flash drive instead with a small addon board that can be attached to the "RPi compatible" pin header?
