Hello Everyone! I faced with some problems with csi driver on mainline kernel. The study of the Internet did not give any result. Probably someone already done the same things, and could answer on couple of my questions? My configuration: custom board based on A20 SoC (quite similar with Olimex Lime2), armbian-buster-desktop 20.05.0, Linux Kernel 5.4.41, and OV5640 CSI camera connected to CSI0 in parallel 8bit mode. My questions are: 1) Can anyone confirm that the sun4i_csi module in Mainline kernel works (with any CSI camera)? 2) Does the sun4i_csi module work with CSI1 port too? 3) If someone already run OV5640 via CSI on A20 SoC, what is the maximum fps can…

Ahoy! I'm looking for a cheap SBC with mainline kernel support (so hopefully Armbian support too) and a stereo line-level input and output. I'd like to also have atleast an ARMv7 or later instruction set (need Neon instructions) and atleast 512 megs of RAM (but 1 or 2 gigs would be nice; and I could survive with 256MB if I work really hard). My use-case is that I intend to pair this up with a cheap mixer and run a few audio plugins via Ardour. Most plugins I use (generally stuff from the Guitarix project) depend on the ARM Neon instructions. The ModDevices project seems to be based off an ARMv7 instruction set based 1GB board so it's kinda sorta my…

Hi all, I have a Rpi 3B+ where I am running Pihole with Unbound. As a secondary DNS, I am planning to use an Odroid HC1 which will also be running other stuff. Today I installed Armbian_20.05.7_Odroidxu4_buster_current_5.4.50_minimal.img and started the installation of Pihole, which went through just fine. Then I attempted to install Unbound, but got an error message. The command I run was: sudo apt install unbound -y And this is what was returned: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following additional packages will be installed: libevent-2.1-6 libpython3.7 libunbound8 unbound-anchor Su…

Hi, I've just got my fantastic XU4, and worked out that Armbian is amazing on it, thanks to everyone that put all this work in it's amazing So powerful is this little bad boy that I've started researching replacing my Windows Desktop but I need two 1440p monitors because of my eye problems. Anyway I've been looking at using USB3 Displaylink adaptors for this, am I barking up the wrong tree here? It looks like on paper the "qgeem usb3 "M7VC01" on Armbian" should do the trick, does anyone have two of these working? or even one? Cheers TIA Rich

The download page of armbian has a pretty good UI. I am interested to know how this page is generated, is there a php backend generating the directory listing? Or, is it a static html with bootstrap? link: https://dl.armbian.com/rockpi-e/

Total Armbian newbie here. Previous Dietpi user looking to acquire an Odroid N2+ for primarily serving music (Plex, Logitech Music Server perhaps). Wondering about the availability of support for routing audio through to USB DAC? In DietPi this was handled through alsamixer. How is it handled if at all with Armbian?

Hi there, I'm currently struggling to get the Cedrus VPU up and running. I have downloaded the specific version from bootlin and got the kernel up and running, however the V3s isn't supported by the Sunxi SRAM driver. This driver is important to get the VPU going. I tried altering the devicetree of the V3s to match a SoC that is somehow similiar, but it clearly failed for obvious reasons. I get this error message: [ 1.035259] cedrus 1c0e000.video-codec: Failed to claim SRAM [ 1.040990] cedrus 1c0e000.video-codec: Failed to probe hardware [ 2.478247] cedrus 1c0e000.video-codec: Failed to claim SRAM [ 2.484047] cedrus 1c0e…

I would like to announce that I am getting started on an armbian-derived project, Armbian-NG. This is not a fork of Armbian, nor a rewrite, it's a derived project that piggyback's on the excellent work by Igor and the entire armbian development team. I think of Armbian-NG as armbian's little clumsy brother, who is just learning to walk but has great potential. In as few words as possible, Armbian-NG will be a Python (set of) script(s) that runs natively on Aarch64 (64-bit ARM) hardware (running Ubuntu 18.04 or later) to build Armbian images. More details can be found here: https://github.com/AndrewBCN/Armbian-NG As with armbian, anybody is welcome to con…

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…

Sorry if this is silly question, but I can't find any straight-forward documentation on this topic. I've seen that Mali drivers was available for older kernel, but what about mainline? Asking this especially in context with this finding -- Maxime Ripard's article "Mali OpenGL support on Allwinner platforms with mainline Linux". Currently on clean Armbian install on NanoPi Neo Air I can't load mali: $ modinfo mali modinfo: ERROR: Module mali not found.

Heads up. Here is this HDMI to USB 2.0 capture card, 1080p@30. Very useful for posting captures, or using your laptop as an improvised HDMI monitor. It can be get for $5, shipping form the EU, USA and Russia. Here is the link: https://aliexpress.com/item/4001019746564.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.613263c0C55RA2 It got very good reviews (unless the device looks identical on the outside but has different internals):

You mean this?

I've used Zabbix professionally and at home to monitor servers, IoT, and IP devices. I've built scripts for the server and client to automate the install process including moving the MySQL database, so you can locate it to a NFS mount instead of serving the database from the slower SD card. The deb packages do not work for ARM, so you have to build it from source using my scripts. Install Zabbix

If you know the movie "Wargames" then you may know the computer of "David Lightman" a IMSAI 8080 Udo Munk did create the software z80pack (last version from 2017 v1.36 at https://www.autometer.de/unix4fun/z80pack/ ) which does include - IMSAI 8080 - Altair - Cromemco Z1 and - cpmsim Emulation.

I am in the middle of porting a proof of concept app from Raspberry Pi/Raspbian to its (hopefully) permanent home on Orange Pi PC/Armbian, and I am really loving the new environment. Now I need to get my non-standard HDMI display working. It's a 800x800 circular display from China that works fine on my Raspberry Pi once I figured out what the HDMI timings were (they weren't even on the data sheet!). As I learned when configuring the RPi the display does not report its resolution correctly, so it won't work out of the box, but in Raspbian you have the option to force the system to use your custom configuration defined in the config.txt file. I have …

I bought a Firefly RK3399 about a year ago. Since then I have moved to Friendly NanoPC T4. I bought a second NanoPC T4 because my first machine running Armbian Bionic 18.04.4 has been working very well. I have been anti X86 and decided ARM was more interesting. Now to compile I need Armbian Build. So I bought a $100 HP 15 Laptop, a basic 4GB / 500GB Sata machine running Focal / Ubuntu 20.04. OK I have since reevaluated my situation and see more AMD machines in my future. I was able to run Armbian 20.05 on the HP and that impressively gave me a working Ubuntu Focal on my NanoPC. Except it is unoptimized and creaky. not really a working desktop…

Hi all, I am building an art project, and I love the hardware specs of Orange Pi PC for it. I have a graphical Java app (built in Processing) that runs on a HDMI display, and unsurprisingly it doesn't run well without a GPU. On RPi 3B+/Diet Pi I've got it up around 24 fps using KMS, and I'm happy with that performance, but now I'm porting it to the OPi so I'm kinda starting from scratch again. I am aware of the amazing work going on with Panfrost although I've had issues installing it on my board with Buster Desktop. In general Armbian on Orange Pi PC seems pretty great, amazing even. But I'm only getting about 1 frame every 5 seconds with my Java/Processing a…

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.

Hello, in a Overlay (compatible = "simple-panel-dsi";) I have the following proerties: reset-gpios = <&gpio8 3 1>; /* GPIO8_A3 */ reset-delay-ms = <10>; enable-delay-ms = <60>; ... in the panel-simple.c driver File I can find the properties "reset-delay-ms", "enable-delay-ms" - but not the "reset-gpios" property. Even though the reset at GPIO8_A3 is working correctly. I also had no success to find this property in another file... so I'm very confused about where or in which driver / include is this property defined/specified? I also have tried to search "reset-gpios" in all files with grep, see below, but I could not find a related …

at https://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=274 is the "new" NanoPi R1S (available as H3 or H5) and they stated armbian-support in the OS-Section.

I've done some load testing of my first prototype power "mezzanine" board (can't say "hat") The voltage drop of powering the RPi touchscreen off of the GPIO while the tinker is on micro-USB is insane, I was reading 3.9 Volts on the USB ports when I ran minerd --benchmark. I may have finally worn out the Micro-USB connector... This is a project for learning the ins and outs of kicad and get an idea of the capabilities of the PCB houses I have reasonably fast access to (Chinese ones unfortunately always get stuck in customs for a week or more on top of the normal shipping and fab times, so the cost savings is lost in time) I have some more interesting thing…

Hey all! Just signed up. I had been thinking of converting an older T.V. box and was hoping I could do it with Debian. Debian has been my preferred OS for some time now. I have never dealt with these boxes or arm for that matter. It looks like it may be possible to install armbian on this box and I started reading some of the documentation. What I would like to ask before I go down the rabbit hole is, based only on the specs below, if it looks possible? Would it be a good candidate for armbian or would there be too much non-cpu bits that surely won't work. If you folks thinks it's a capable box then I will put on my boots and get into it. Just an honest opinion. Also…

Hi Igor, I'm fresh owner of CB5 (CT2+) board and I'm interesting about your opinion regarding this board. I hope that in near future you will start new branch of Armbian for H8. At this moment, best option for me is still using CT as a production appliance but maybe CT+ will be faster... (instead SATA USB bridge access of course).

Hello, I'm trying to use Armbian with a Nanopi NEO Core (Allwinner H3) mounted on its Mini Shield. I was able to use the CAN controller MCP2518FD through SPI1 and CS1. Now I need to use, always on the same SPI1, the demo board TPM SLB 9670 TPM2.0 that I have already verified on a Raspberry Pi. I found the tpm_tis_spi Kernel module by compiling Armbian Bionic 5.4.37, but I was unable to locate the DTB overlay needed to set-up the following pins: SPI1 MOSI SPI1 MISO SPI1 CLK SPI1 CS IRQ (from SLB9670's demo board to Nanopi NEO Core) RESET (from Nanopi NEO Core to SLB9670's demo board) Can anyone help me?

Yesterday i did install Armbian_5.86_Aml-s905_Debian_buster_default_5.1.0_20190514.img from @balbes150 on my Sunvell T95KPro (S912). While installing Pihole the Installation does break when trying to start lighttpd. After checking with journalctl -u lighttpd it turns out that the file /usr/share/lighttpd/create-mime.assign.pl is missing, because in the newer lighttpd-version of debian buster the file has be renamed to /usr/share/lighttpd/create-mime.conf.pl (see also https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/lighttpd-does-not-start/6207/11 ) Pihole doesnt know/use the new name with debian buster, so it fails to start the lighttpd …

Java Periphery has finally been released! Java Periphery is a high performance library for GPIO, LED, PWM, SPI, I2C, MMIO and Serial peripheral I/O interface access in userspace Linux. This will replace User Space IO. I'm seeing GPIO write speeds of 500K/s from userspace. Compared to User Space IO and libgopid speeds of 2K/s. I switched from JNA wrapper generation to JNI wrapper generation. The build process is much simpler (only single install.sh) and building libgpiod is no longer required. The API follows c-periphery, python-periphery and lua-periphery. This should cover the widest array of SBCs and languages around. Java Periphery should work on Armbian/Ub…

I just released a new C library for communicating with those inexpensive 4-digit 7-segment LED displays: https://github.com/bitbank2/tm1637 They can run on 3.3V or 5V and draw between 1 and 15mA depending on the brightness setting. I purchased mine from an AliExpress vendor for 68 cents each with free shipping. They use a custom 2-wire communications protocol and must be "bit-banged" from 2 GPIO pins. In my demo, I assign pins 38 and 40 on my Orange Pi Lite.

Hello, I'm currently running Gentoo on my BananaPIs (M1). I'm using one as graphical Dashboard using DirectFB. Unfortunately, DirectFB is deprecated, not anymore supported and facing some compilation issue. Time to change. I tried with SDL configured with KMS but it's crashing. I don't want to install X because it will take ages to compile without any garanty it will work at the end. So ... probably the time to change. So, is DirectFB still supported on Armbian ? If not, is SDL2 working without X support. If not, with X support ? And if so, is X accelerated ? Thanks Laurent

Hi , there Im , jeremy It seems like manufacturers should want to sell as many chips as possible, and it seems like they could sell more chips if they released the documentation to allow anyone to implement their product. But many devices or peripherals (i.e., ARM Mali, Allwinner CedarX, etc.) are undocumented and need to be reverse engineered. I noticed this when when I was looking at the RK3399 data sheet and saw all of the features this chip has. It's a shame that of all those features, the only ones that will be used on most SBCs are the ARM cores and the simple I/O peripherals (SPI, I2C, GPIO). I don't have the skills yet to write an OS driver, but…

Goodmorning, i would like to ask if someone have ever tried to use musl libc with Armbian. From some research appear that using it instead of glibc make programs consume a lot less ram and less space on disk. I never tried personally, but i'm curious about that because it could be especially useful for single board computer with less than 2gb of ram (like mine ). Since, from what i know, programs do not statically link to glibc, but dynamically link to a generic libc at runtime, could be possible to use musl as drop in replacement for libc, without rebuild everything? From what i know there could be some incompatibilities because glibc does not fully respect the…

I'm experience a really weird problem on a very experimental setup: the system is an Armbian build for an unsupported board (Rockchip RK322x) and Ubuntu Focal 20.04 with mainline kernel 5.6.4. The system has issues to boot when enters into systemd: it is slow but all of sudden it goes farther. Many different systemd services are complaining, expecially the journal and the chrony NTP client. Finally I found that the root of the problems is the system time which is abruptly moving back and forth even by months. Subsequent calls to date may report 20 June, then 4 March, then 18 August and so on... The kernel log is fine and, most of all, the very…

Hi all, I want to isolate Nextcloud on my BananaPro with a virtual machine. (Background: I want to open the port in the router to sync with Nextcloud from the internet. To protect my other data (NAS with OMV, Smart Home with fhem) Nextcloud should run isolated by a virtual machine or in a Docker container.) I have found a lot of information about Docker in this forum, but not about virtual machines. Is, perhaps, "Own your bits" a good solution? Currently running Debian Stretch with Armbian Linux 4.19.62-sunxi on Banana Pro. It is a headless server without desktop, so the virtual machine has to be installed and configured only with CLI.

Hi, I wonder if there exists one method to make the end user a friendly way to access the web server. So I have Armbian with hotspot enabled, if I want to look at specific web page running on the board, I have to know the IP of the wlan0 and specific port of the web server. For example in google chrome I have to insert: http://172.24.1.1:3000 This is very difficult for end user, who has minimal knowledge. Is there any way, that for example you log on the hotspot, then open google chrome and start browse for any arbitrary page (let's say www.google.com) at port 80 and then it's automatically redirected to port 3000, except for all other web servers on the same…

I would like to check the authenticity of the Bionic image I downloaded for my Cubieboard 1. However the downloaded .xz file only contains an .img file.

Hi there, I am about to use an OrangePi Zero to handle the temperature and display some information on a custom contraption related to network. The problem I have is that this contraption will be powered on and powered off at will, without notice. So... I guess that after some time, the Zero running Armbian won't be that happy about being shut off brutally. I have seen some setups with supercapacitors for Raspberry Pis, but has anyone in here tried something similar with the OrangePi Zero? Or anything else that would delay the power loss, so that the board can shutdown properly? I made searches about supercapacitors with Armbian, but only found some…

I also purchased a few small LCDs so I could make small independent thing that wouldn't require a huge display - perhaps even portable ones. While I do enjoy using the terminal for practically anything (give me lynx, rtv, byobu and the likes and I'm happy), there are certain advantages in a graphical user interface. But let's face it, the default UIs with modern window managers are... not exactly designed for small, low-res screens. With a 800x480 screen it's plausible to use just a normal WM and be rather fine…

I have a supported build host running, and successfully building and testing kernels for a few targets that I have examples of. I'm looking to extend my repertoire to building complete armbian images. I think I also want to use EXTERNAL and/or EXTERNAL_NEW to configure additional packages into the image. This has led me to this stanza: BUILD_MINIMAL (yes|no): set to “yes” to build bare CLI image suitable for application deployment. This option is not compatible with BUILD_DESKTOP=”yes” and BUILD_EXTERNAL=”yes” I can find no BUILD_EXTERNAL referenced elsewhere, should this be simply EXTERNAL ? or have I missed so…

Hi there, I'm looking for a USB power supply that would be mounted into a rack, so that I can power up quite a few boards at the same time. These boards would also be in the same rack. I found a big rackable USB hub, but that's not what I am looking for, and 2.4A max per slot may be too weak for some of the boards. I could hosts several smaller USB hubs too, but that does not sound really enticing. My other option is to make it by myself with salvaged server power supplies, a patch panel, bits and bobs, but it will take longer... Would you have any recommendation? Thanks.

Hi, I have two Opi1 that are taking dust, here in italy we are under quaratine, and I want to do something stupid, like: setup an old OPi1 to be useful. So my first attemp was to try retrorangepi, but 4.3 version is really laggy and kodi is based on matrix alpha and there are so many error with python 3.0 dependancies, I can't even install youtube addon. 4.1 and 4.2 usually works better, but kodi again is the problem, and gamepad as a known problem with deadzone. android beta 7 gives me a lot of error on google play...but don't ask me what error is because it's written in chinese. Now, I think I will never find an OS perfect for me so I was…

Dear Armbian community, I like to use the RTC connector of the Nanopi R1 and i'm using an CR2032 3Volt/220mAH battery. However i can't find any documentation of the right syntax, neither on the wiki page of friendlyarm or somewhere else. I tried: The syntax of the Nanopi Fire 3 (6.16: http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_Fire3) Syntax of odroid boards (N2 and XU4) "default rtcwake" commands in armbian. I enabled all I2C pins in ''armbian-config'' Probably i need some rtc driver?? I'm using the Nanopi R1 one for an IoT GNSS logging project and i like to poweroff the board a…

I've installed a wireless alarm system, but I want to use all my old wired stuff from my original alarm system. I started down the road of using an ESP8266, but GPIO.INT was flaky and GPIO pins limited, so I ordered a MCP23017 and figured Why not just do everything with one NanoPi Duo? I have a few of them and they are made for breadboard prototyping. Plus with the built in Ethernet I can have wired primary and wireless backup networking. I even rolled my own Ethernet adapter since the breakout adapters cost $5+. If you have already done this and have any wisdom to share I'd like to hear it. No turning back now!

Hi, i own a Libre Computer Le Potato (AML-S905X-CC) board and i would like to compile my own customized kernel to try patches for bug fixing and experimenting unstable "features", like lima driver. The problem is that i currently use this board as daily driver and i would like the possibility to have a backup kernel (a stable one) in case something goes wrong. So the question is: it is possible to have multiple installed kernel and decide which one boot (like GRUB behaviour) using the uboot bootloader? If it is impossible, i'm sorry for the stupid question. I don't know how exactly the boot sequence works, from a low level point of view. Thanks a …

Is there any? Intended use: LUKS.

I heard about this today. https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift sounds pretty neat..

Today I had a chance to test OV5640 on mainline kernel 4.17.2 and see the status of OV5640 and CSI drivers, thanks to FE work and the author of the driver (help name here...). I tested on NanoPi K1 Plus (H5) to verify the images in very low light conditions, so don't expect good quality. I could take some images using fswebcam and you should expect basic v4l2 functionality already works if not all. I think motion (did not test / had time to test it) can work with current OV5640 on mainline kernel. Grabbing Image is very fast, currently, Image size I can get are 320x240 and 640x480 pixels, above this i get a dark image. I have not looked at the driver source cod…

What you guys think of the Unisoc SC9863A ? 8 cores arm with integrated LTE modem, getting mainline support. This unisoc look like a company like mediatek... But the point is, the the modem is opensource or uses a blob ?

I was using OPI3 as my home automation server for many months, very stable for me with Armbian. But now I've migrated to more powerful machine and my OPI3 got nothing to do So I'm thinking about connecting it to my TV and use as light linux desktop: web browser mainly. Does anyone use OPI3 2GB RAM like that? Is it powerful enough to handle browsing with 10 tabs for example? Or I should go for some cheap RK3399+4GB RAM (under $50) instead? What's your experience?

Where are the Odroid C1 images? This page is empty: https://dl.armbian.com/odroidc1/archive/ What is/was the latest stable Debian? I don't need Desktop but sound should work over HDMI. Its to bad the C1 has no support anymore. Seems to be the only board that does up to 384kHz Audio.

I'm currently on the hunt for the cheapest decently reliable board to use for building a glusterfs cluster. Requirements are simple: GbE, SATA port, arm64, preferably low power. While helios64 is obviously the way to go for a NAS when it lands, it's totally overkill for a setup like this and I just realized that ODROID HC2 won't fly due to being 32-bit only. Most other 64-bit boards require expansion boards for SATA, which drags up the total cost. Finally I realized that the PC Engines APU boards fit all criteria, and come with what I understand to be performant GX-412TC CPUs. This one, for example, for 86EUR (maybe a bit on the pricey side, but I have…

I noticed that on the Duo I can select 5.5.0-rc6-sunxi in dev. Is there any idea when 5.5.0 will be the default release? Also, I noticed that there's no matching 5.5.x kernel source. I'm playing with linux-headers-dev-sunxi to see if I can compile libgpiod master which requires 5.5.0.

I'm looking at the NanoPi R1S, R1, or Orange Pi R1 as a simple bridge device for Zerotier. They all seem to have some limitations that likely mean ~100Mbps either from the 100M ports or the R1S' USB2 connected port so that's fine. I'm most drawn to the R1S for price and included case. Questions are: 1) Are these the only decent <=$30 devices for this task? 2) Is one of these known to be more stable/reliable? 3) Is there a likely software support issue with any of them? The deployment model is pretty simple. Plug WAN in to and DHCP port, have the firewall locked down tight, and bridge a ZT network into the LAN port.

howdy community, I am very keen on installing motioneye on my orangepi PC - Question: can i try Orange Pi PC Beta image with Xenial and mainline kernel with the Orange Pi One and Lite. i have heard that Motioneye (not os) works very well with Orange Pi PC when installed on top of Armbian-OS. It is told to be great for multiple network cameras as they are cheap and can run 2 cameras per SBC comfortably. i got 2 orange pi pc How should i go ahead: - installing ffmpeg. Otherwise it was the raspbian instructions on armbian. - Did anybody get armbian up and going properly before installing motioneye? btw: which camer…

I split this off to it's own topic, as it became more about Librem 5 which was offtopic from the original discussion. Being someone aware of Libreboot for some years now, I was never a fan of Purism and the BS they pulled with their laptops, which meant either: they knew fully libre firmware was not possible, and lied (or) they really wanted to do as stated, but ran face first into a wall due to lack of knowledge / research beforehand (about Intel IME issues) And so, back then I never really paid much attention to them, thinking (like you do) that they were just another company "cashing in" as you say, and everything from them is all …

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…

I'm having some success installing Debian on Raspberry Pi 3B+ and thought I'd proceed with making an Armbian build in order to have equivalent environments with other boards in my cluster. Is there any process/channel for this or should I just make a PR on the repo? What are some particular prerequisites I should be aware of that might block it from merging? I am very aware of armbian's stance on Raspberry Pi, and I understand you do not want to support it officially (if nothing else because you'd have difficulty handling the incoming clueless users), but I think there are a lot in the intended armbian audience who have Raspis lying around who would be ha…

Cross-posted from here... At FOSDEM 2020, in roughly a few days (at 2pm, Sunday 2nd of Feb, Brussels time), there will be a livestreamed explanation given of the “FOSDEM Video Box” HDMI capturing devices. They use almost 60 of these ARM-based devices during the FOSDEM conference to capture both the video output of all presenters laptops, and the video and audio of the camera filming of the presenter. Serious video hackery accomplishes this. I would encourage anyone interested to check out the bio of Luc Verhaegen, one of the presenters. Using these "Video Boxes", FOSDEM inexpensively streams 720p videos of all 800+ presentations! This is a small m…

Wow! I read already on other sites that this armbian community has some weird views about what's allowed and what information will be depublished or simply that they are 'famous' for censorship. I actually run directly in it as my thread was directly deleted and just later on - after complaints - released with a deleted link. But why then get's my thread just locked now after 15 replies and not directly deleted? Or why does have one person in this forum the right to tell what's interesting for the community or not? Funny (or sad?) enough that even in the first link in my the thread you can read about the armbian moderators …

I've posted in the Armbian forums in the past about Kerberos.io video surveillance software. For some reasons it was (at the time) not always that easy or impossible to compile or get it up and running. But: Times have changed (for the good this time!) and I've tried it again on a H3 1GB memory OrangePi plus with kernel 5.4 using a *FRESH and CLEAN* Ubuntu Bionic Server image. I was able to get the Kerberos software 2.8.0 up and running straight away, just by *EXACT* following the instructions on the website of Kerberos.io (Generic installation Instructions page). It takes some time to compile ffmpeg and the machinery module, but it is certainly worth the eff…
