Hi all, recently searching on how to connect raspberry pi 3.5 inches TFT display (wave share 's clone) .And lucky for me, i have success to make the display show up the console( according to this post ) Sorry for my bad English Thanks for reading this

Hello Armbian community, Here is a project of adjusting the Kobol Helios4 case for a Raspberry Pi 3B and either 2.5" or 3.5" HDD, as well as a 92mm FAN and a USB hub. This is my first SketchUp project (I've used the 2016 trial version). The Raspberry Pi will be screwed in the bottom and powered through the micro usb. That's why I've left more room on that side. We can fit either 4x2.5" or 3x3.5" at any "deep" level. I've left room for a USB hub because I want to reuse my existing spare one. We can maybe come with a better idea, more universal (eg. dual output 12v and 5v of at least 90w, or a Molex fanless PSU unit. The latter would b…

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…

Maybe someone here knows the 8-Bit Guy and the project of his Dream-Computer - the Commander X16 You could see the actual state of the real hardware at YT-Video from the 8-Bit Guy: (Building my Dream Computer - Part 2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sg-6Cjzzg8s Since the hardware isnt ready/completed yet there is a Emulator which uses SDL2 and can be compiled now (since r30) also on Linux ARM Github-page of the emulator: https://github.com/commanderx16/x16-emulator https://github.com/commanderx16/x16-emulator/releases Source: https://github.com/commanderx16/x16-emulator/archive/r30.zip or https://github.com/commanderx16/x16-e…

This was a bit of a buzz back in late Dec 2018, and things got kind of quiet after that... Rumour was that the SoC was the SocioNext SC2A11, which is a Japanese chipset (and from experience, Japanese chip vendors are very particular about who they work with)...

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 I know how to write bare-metal embedded d…

I wonder if somebody can help me make a good choice. I'm sorry if I'm a bit rambling but I spent a good part of the weekend looking at different SBCs. I've played around with the early Rasperry Pi, then later on I got a Cubietruck (which still faithfully does network stuff at home) and a Cubox. (Which I wasn't that happy with because I needed a little bit more omph, it was *mostly* fine though) What I'm looking for is an ARM based setup I can do some browsing with, run some lightweight X11 (jwm window manager and some very light programs mostly dependent on X-libraries) and watch videos up to 720p. The screens' resolution would be 1280x1024. It'd b…

Greetings, I have scoured every source I could find, but could only find images that hinted at it. I need 1) to know the pinout of the 4-pin debug usart port on the NanoPC T4, and possibly 2) to find a good alternative to PuTTY that can handle the high(?) bit-rate I see in dmesg output (under Armbian debian Stretch). I've tried those implied by the images, and though my Windows 7 PC sees a new COM port (and the driver installed clean) for my new DTECH USB to TTL Serial 3.3V Adapter Cable (TX RX Signal with 4 Pin 0.1 inch Pitch Female Socket PL2303 Prolific Chip for Windows 10 8 7 XP Vista (6ft, Black)), I'm unable to access it v…

So, finally today I am getting around to pulling trigger on (2x) ODROID-XU4, I go to AmeriDroid (US supplier), put 2 of them in cart and go off looking for emmc modules, only to come across: https://ameridroid.com/collections/storage-emmc-and-microsd/products/emmc-5-1-module-blank Has anyone seen / tested these? My internet search says no, but I thought I would ask anyway. If not, I guess it's my turn now to be the guinea pig. I think I will maybe get one of these and one "regular" emmc...

Can you people explain to me how you advertise on almost every page 48+TB storage fully knowing there is a 16TB limitation on all filesystems thanks to limitations on 32bit? I will not use whatever MERGEFS is. How exactly do you achieve 48TB storage as I currently have 4x6TB disks that I CANNOT USE. If you can't I want a refund.

Hi,after search around the internet i found out that is nearly impossible to enable I2s interface with new armbian kernel so searching a little bit more i found another solution that i have to rebuilt another armbian kernel by my own to enable but i don't know how. So I'm writing this to ask every pro member in this forum to show me the way or guide me to make the i2s interface success. Thanks all for reading this. P/s sorry for my bad English

Recently, a new SBC, the Rock Pi S by Radxa, was launched. Here's it's wiki page: https://wiki.radxa.com/RockpiS It's a 4 core A35 design. I'm debating getting one, but I can't find any information anywhere as to whether or not it's supported on Linux, or Armbian. Of course, if it's not listed in the download section it's not supported, but there's a difference between, "I need to add 100 lines of code and it will work." to "Geez, I need to redesign most of the Linux kernel after pulling my hair out." I did search the sunxi wiki and the local armbian wiki without success. Anyone know anything? Thanks!

The Eltechs webpage is down https://eltechs.com/ Anyone knows something. Its only by curiosity.

spent most of today trying to get a USB-wifi adapter working on my OrangePiOne... connman_ctl wpa_supplicant (with and without wpa_cli), iw... you name it, I've probably tried it. Then, when restarting for the umpteenth time, in a rare moment of diminished stupidity, I actually read the "message of the (every) day" which is shown when you login successfully, It mentioned 'armbian-config' ... which i decided to give a try... Five minutes later I had working wifi - which works again after a restart without further configuration! So, a note to myself: be sure to RTFM (= Read the Fabulous Message of the day)! At least this was on my home pr…

Hi everyone, I am new to the forum so my topic might be misplaced/already answered. I have armbian running on BananaPiPro and I am completely satisfied but this build is not supported anymore. I was am checking if I have the capabilities and/or the time to extend its support. How does it work? What is the main job I should do in order to maintain it/contribute to it? Thank you!

Hi, my rpi 4 with 4GB ram is now on my desk but I cannot find armbian for it: looking at github build repo I do not see any file regarding raspberry pi in general. So... is anyone interested to help me to work on it? Is there an armbian interest in having a Raspberry PI build? Why historically I cannot see any sign of interested in those boards? Please... I know of all of their HW limitations... but they sell millions of boards each year... it is clear that some million people out there find them useful so we (as community) should to deliver an armbian build for this SBC. Any thought? Any starting point? *Ciao …

Hi, I am trying to use a tinker board S as a Logitech Media Server for my multi room installation. The server runs well when streaming radio for a whole day or more. As soon as I start to stream music from the attached USB drive it stops after a few minutes for some seconds continuous then and stops again. After a few of this itterations it stops completely. I tryed to install all available server-OS. At the moment I run BIONIC. I looked in the LMS logs but found noothing. As I am new too this kind of topics I do not know how to find the issue. Can you point me in the right direction?

Hi, tell me please how to properly enable RUART (S-UART) on Orange Pi 3. The Armbian Bionic build (kernel 5.1) is installed, RUART (S-UART) is enabled via raspbian-config, but does not work. What are the options? Required to connect the UART device. UART 3 is working, RUART (S-UART) does not work. Image: Pin (08, 10)

Its a just a proposal. It would be nice to have a anonymous telemetry result that summarize boards and armbian popularity (distro, kernel, CPU from /proc/cpuinfo and memory size, board name if available) Another board's popularity source that is also interesting is a poll about boards in use (board name, development tools) Please star/mark this post to make it important for @Igor

Hey all, wasn't sure where to post this so I figured here is fine. I was wonderng: Is there a repository of older armbian releases? Specifically: Tinkerboard S Armbian Bionic 4.19.y Desktop Kernel. For the past couple months I've been developing on my ASUS Tinkerboard S running the Armbian Bionic 4.19.y Desktop release. However, sometime recently, the updated 4.4.y release came out for Armbian Bionic Desktop. I tried it, and it turns out one of the updates actually break a decent part of my system I had working (partly due to the lack nodm on the system now, which was warned). I'll update my system eventually, but it's not really worth it for the …

Lets speak about new supported boards. Orangepi 3 is now supported, is the pcie problem fixed ? Maybe progress for the orangepi 4g-iot ? I remember that the bigest problem was the gpu (Mali-T720 MP1).

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.

Hi Guys, Most of us have powerfull (compared to Pi's) unused phones on the shelfs just because we got a new one or for other reasons. I have (a not so old) samsung S7 edge with broken screen siting on my shelf that I would love to use as server for my home automation projects. There are many options to keep android and run some Linux Distributions in chroot but it is still somehow limited. Since most of phone use ARM architecture I was wondering if there is already anything or interest in creating Armbian port for unused phones. My S7 edge runs a samsung exynos arm SOC. Thanks, Diogo

I've had a cheap JMB321 port multiplier on my EspressoBIN for more than a year. I've used it with a BTRFS RAID0 configuration on two 1TB harddisks. This worked fine so far. The day before yesterday I added another 1TB drive. I added the first partition and balanced it. No problems. Next partition, same thing, no problems (this was my web-partition with all my web-sites. Balanced fine). Next partition was almost unused, added it and balanced it and ... segmentation fault. This is not the fault of BTRFS! No commands were available, I had no rootfs anymore. I rebooted the board, nothing. Started from SD, couldn't see anything but …

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

I'd really like to build a relationship with Armbian and Linaro... even a small one. Although most of the SBC manufactures we support aren't a member of Linaro... Armbian is a huge win for Arm as a whole, and impacts influencers who can choose to use ARM products in enterprise settings etc.

Hi, I wonder if anyone has experience using an sbc (or tv box) for remote controlling a server. I think the necessary pieces are there on many boards (many have camera inputs which could perhaps be used for video, it looks like some even have an hdmi in). I found this [1] project, but it uses some extra hardware I'd like to avoid. https://github.com/Fmstrat/diy-ipmi Has anyone done anything similar? Note I'm mostly looking into this to gain knowledge, not to put this in production in a real world situation.

Hi, I have a OpenVPN server running on the broadband router installed at my parents house. My router at home connects to this and I mirror my complete NAS over this connection. My brother also has a laptop on which he uses VPN occasionally to copy important stuff there. Since the router has only a small dual core MIPS CPU, VPN speeds are limited to about 18Mbit/s. The connection at my parents home is 100/50Mbit/s and mine at home 250/80Mbit/s, so it could work faster. Also, the VPN takes up all the CPU so for example DNS resolution is slow if the VPN is saturated. For this reason, I'd like to buy a inexpensive small device tha…

Hello everybody, I am new to this forum, and stumbled upon Armbian while looking for OS options for the NanoPi M4 board. Great work! The board is running well now, but I do have a few questions: Armbian is WIP, but as NicoD says it's actually very stable. Any idea when it's going to "supported" officially? I did have an issue with the 4.4 kernel, which I worked around. How is your experience with more recent kernels, is it advisable to upgrade? Or will the official image be upgraded from the LibreElec kernel? (Compiling a kernel still seems a little bit daunting to me, although I did it on x86 chips years ago). What timeframe i…

Folks, has anyone tried using one of those 5V DIN rail-mounted PSUs (eg Mean Well HDR-XX series) for powering the boards and HDDs? My "server" stack has grown to 10+ boards (many thanks to this forum!) and I am thinking of getting a couple of powerful industry-grade 5V units, but not sure if they provide computer-grade output, especially 12V for HDDs. Any thoughts?

od day dear all, i _2019_06_05_Verses_for_google_calendar.ods!? see the differnt formats - in calc- and in a printed sheme.... or in other words - ready to print. question how to arrange to port to the google-calendar!? i guess that i need to make sure that the Start Date column is formatted MM/dd/yyyy. Since i only need all day events i guess that i'll just need a, Start Date column, not the End Date or Time columns. I'm not sure if i need to work over the multiple "Description" columns though... guess that i have to merge them into a single column I suppose. well it does not work at 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…

Hi Igor, First of all thanks a lot for all the work that you do, its awesome. I do experience some problems with the latest kernel version 3.4.110 that I compiled with PMP support with the RTL8211E PHY interface. Its something weird going on. I can ping the card but i get multiple interruptions: PING 10.20.104.243 (10.20.104.243) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 10.20.104.243: icmp_seq=1 ttl=61 time=0.362 ms x 64 bytes from 10.20.104.243: icmp_seq=3 ttl=61 time=0.300 ms 64 bytes from 10.20.104.243: icmp_seq=4 ttl=61 time=0.276 ms x x x 64 bytes from 10.20.104.243: icmp_seq=7 ttl=61 time=0.246 …

These days i did install on some devices debian buster (via armbian-build-system generated). On the Orange Pi One this did work also fine with the cpu-temperature (showing via armbianmonitor -m) On a Orange Pi PC2 and a NanoPi K1 Plus this doesnt work. First I did think this is a problem of the dev-image with debian buster where /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp doesnt show an output via cat or more - but its filesize does show a 4096 bytes size (also on a working device - and also rights 444 = rrr for the file): -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 May 20 10:47 temp BUT NOW after a apt update & apt upgrade I also got thi…

I am currently trying to set up the PICAN GPS+ACC Rev B on my NanoPi M4 in order to receive CAN connections. I have previously set this up on a Raspberry Pi with no issues, but because the NanoPi does not have /boot/config.txt and /boot/cmdline.txt I am at a loss at how to set up the module. Any information as to how I can go about using the module on the NanoPi would be much appreciated. The guide I used to set up the module on the Raspberry Pi is here http://skpang.co.uk/catalog/images/raspberrypi/pican/PICANGPSACC_V1.pdf Thanks

hello dear experts Where would you recommend me to store the Keepass-file? Well - for most of the use-cases usually i have all my personal documents in my cloud account. The pro: i can access it from everywhere in the world. With any device. But besides that i am not so sure if this is safe. Especially if it comes to such things like keepass: Some friends mentioned that it is not so safe: Question; would it be safe to use the cloud for the keepass-file? Can i secure it even further, by adding another (extra) layer of security by encrypting the file. the generalized question is this: How safe is it to store the keepass-file in the (wrong pla…

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 …

I was just going to build a custom image for btrfs rootfs since I failed to get my SBCs with U-Boot to boot with it with an existing install for some reason even after moving /boot to an seperate etx4 partition ... OT: I really hate U-Boot and it's documentation, especially on the EspressoBin.

Hi all! I'm new on armbian and my first (second, because the first is rasperry p3 but it runs hassio) is orange pi 3. I would like to know about gpio, but i cannot write on thread of orange pi 3. Maybe, because i'm not a programmer, but i try to ask in some case. Tnx and sorry for bad english!

So the question is "why does disconnecting and reconnecting power cause a shutdown SBC to boot?" If I have an SBC and I shut it down (e.g. using "shutdown now") then it enters an inactive state. However, I haven't done anything with the power supply - the board is still powered. So what changes in the state of the board as a result of cycling the power? If nothing changed then it would continue in the same inactive state as before? But instead, it boots up when power is restored. I'm guessing the answer varies by board. On the Raspberry Pi it seems that on doing a shutdown the shutdown process writes a volatile magic number that can be read by the …

Anybody know a way to reset board (OPI PC) immediatly not going through shutdown process? I'm already logged in (ssh session). I've overwritten SD card by mistake, whole fs has gone, and I cant perform reboot or shutdown command (not found)

I have an Odroid HC2 that will be used as a NAS. I plan to run Ubuntu 18.04, which I can get in either Hardkernel or Armbian flavor. Is there a practical difference between them? Is there a reason to choose one over the other?

I am looking to replace 3 OrangePi boards with a H3 CPU with one board. Every board has a RTL-SDR USB stick attached to it, and the software tends to load up the CPU a lot on at least one core, in some cases the total load is high on 2 cores. To make it all easier / simpler I would like to replace the 3 with one board with enough processing power, but nothing extreme. The goal is that it will be in an enclosure up the antenna mast, POE fed, so not easily accessible! I even looked at the Atomic Pi, but I am not so sure about processing power in that unit.. (I might be wrong though!) Browsing the options online, I saw the NanoPi M4 which looks like a good candid…

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.

I'm only just getting started with this project. So far I have gotten a lot of help from some great people and looking to get further along with this project as time goes on. My main goal is to turn the tinkerboard into a linuxcnc control system with a drop in SDcard/EMMC image(s). The images will be preloaded with everything needed to setup a cnc machine for different control systems such as GPIO, ETHERNET, SPI depending on one's choice or needs for control. The gpio will provide direct step/dir, end stops, router power control signals, etc.... the normal cnc machine control logic one would expect when using a parallel port. Ethernet and SPI will be options for anyone u…

with the armiban-build-system I did build some dev-images. Sometimes I see in other threads, that later build images have newer kernel or package versions. While trying apt update && apt upgrade I didnt get these newer packages So my first try was to use the armbian-build-system and do use the function for creating u-boot and kernel that will give me some .debs in ./build/output/debs/ like this: linux-u-boot-dev-nanopineo2_5.82_arm64.deb linux-dtb-dev-sunxi64_5.82_arm64.deb linux-image-dev-sunxi64_5.82_arm64.deb linux-headers-dev-sunxi64_5.82_arm64.deb linux-source-dev-sunxi64_5.82_all.deb install these (mostly I didnt do…

Hi all! I'm happily using Armbian on Cubieboard2 working as home server (samba, 4(!) LXC containers with Deluge, tor, owncloud and some other small apps) + VPN client. Pretty happy with it, especially for internal SATA. Recently found that Cubietech releases Cubieboard6 on S-500 CPU with same form-factor and SATA. That means, that all casing/housing can stay intact. LXC containers also can be migrated since CPU is still ARMv7. But at the same time found somewhere on this forum, that board is not really good quality... Cannot argue or agree with this since I don't have a board and it looks costly. So my question - what is advis…

I own Chuwi Hi12 tablet based on Atom X5-Z8300 which was a bad guy due to keyboard/overall handling. I've successfully got rid of windows & android from eMMC and installed Ubuntu Server x64 So I decided get rid of some components as touchscreen, speakers, cameras, battery and use it as SBC headless server. Sadly ribbon cables were glued and I damaged one or two of them, so this is one-way trip now I think. But I can't power it on now :/ There is no reaction to power button at all. Does anyone have some experience with such boards? What components are required to be connected in order to boot it up? teardown pics 1 teardown pics 2

hi ya all . i have orangepi one with armbian set up as web site server ... All good seems stable and cool despite being housed in the little cardboard box it arrived in. Now because I am on alternative power and sometimes this is in greater supply than others I would really like to reduce power consumption as much as possible Not interested in reducing processor power or memory speed or other things that may impact on its primary task of serving web pages and processing php. however the only connections to the board are ethernet and power I do not want or need any graphics camera USB or whatever nor do i need any services other than ssh and …

hello dear all, I've been using the lm-sensors tool for years now - first time in Ubuntu and now i want to use it in Manjaro - my actually fav system LM-Sensors - it does a lot: It monitors CPU temperature, the fan speeds, and - additionally - also the motherboard voltages that could be measured. After using it for some time in Ubuntu - my previous fav-linux.i now want to use some advanced uses of lm-sensors - i have heard that we can use it in combination with some graphical interfaces to interact with it. first i have to do the Installation: step one: Install lm-sensors, then run it with no options to see what it does: $ sensors co…

This could be old news, but my plex update today threw a message out on the console (apt upgrade) that official armv7 and armv8 packages are available. This should be a pretty solid performance boost for most of us I would imagine, the old packages were fro armel NAS boxes. Testing it out on my XU4.

Hi Everyone. I'm having trouble updating to TLS 1.2 on my pcDuino 3 and cannot connect to any website other than Google.com or pinging 8.8.8.8 See attached return from my terminal when attempting to run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade openssl" Seems http://www.wiimu.com from what I can tell is a server from a company called LinkSprite. I think the company has disbanded and no longer offers any services… Also seems LinkSprite was lead/CEO by a guy named Jingfeng Liu who is the creator of pcDuino. Also Link Sprite does not monitor their forums nor respond to queries of any sort. There’s got to b…

I must say that im suprised. I installed Armbian 5.59 Bionic on Nanopi T4 and found little cores A53 overclocked 1.80GHZ and big A72 cores clocked 1.90GHZ. Im using double radiator 3.5 cm x 3.5 cm. It is not very hot. I was not expecting such good job from Nanopi. On Firefly RK3399 i must to use third 3.5x 3.5radiator and it is getting hot at clock speed 1.4ghz a53 and 1.81ghz a72.

HI , there I have a system on emmc protected by overlayroot. Sensitive data are written to sd card. Everything works as expected. The question is: Is there a way to temporarily access the root filesystem from python script ? Of course, I can temporarily deactivate protection by ‘overlayroot-chroot’ command from terminal and make changes, but that's not what I mean. I have a web server application written in a flask framework. On one of its pages, users can set network parameters, e.g. IP, mask, dns . Is it possible at all, eg when the user accepts changes to disable protection, save changes to root filesystem and immediately enable protection ?

It so happened that I removed the Tinker OS (Android) and now when you connect it to the monitor the screen is black and the PC can not recognize it can you help me install the OS in Tinker ? I found out that Android has its own utility type(BIOS) on the phone it turns on when you press the appropriate buttons but since I work on the Tinker it becomes a problem !

Is everybody being hit with custom & handling charges via royal mail? Added a total of £11.72 to my OrangePi H3 plus2 £3.72 customs and £8.00 handling charge. Its no bother as just curiosity with Smaller format boards but just wondering is this a Brexit shape of things to come?

Just wanted to announce that Armbian-NG (https://github.com/AndrewBCN/Armbian-NG/) has been chosen as the OS to power the new CNX Election Meddling System (https://www.cnx-software.com/2019/04/01/introducing-cnx-election-meddling-system/). Why? Because Python. Have a nice day and don't forget to vote!

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, 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've been travelling a lot lately for work (IT conferences). I don't brag. Don't get me wrong, I like meeting new people, sharing about technology, but the "travel" part of this travels is the worst for me. And having to use the bad hotel wifi without any protection is not my cup of tea... Working with my phone's 4G tethering is cool, but I feel "naked" anyway... And it does not solve my other devices connection problem. I was almost ready the other day to get a 4G/Wifi travel router to solve it, but as I tend to use SBCs for just about everything, I was wondering if I could make one my travel router, giving me WIFI through a VPN on top of Armbian. It would use free w…

Just a tip for something that has helped me from getting a heart-attack over the many years of online discourse.... Back in the day (ugh-really?) there were only TWO rules for participation in the store-and-forward Fidonet system: 1) Thou shalt not excessively annoy others. 2) Thou shalt not be too easily annoyed. Breaking *either* rule, got you kicked out. Strangely enough, rule #2 was broken more often than #1. And it helps you grow a skin, no matter what is said. Most importantly, it keeps you hacking, and not getting a heart-attack. For Devs, maybe the OpenBSD philosophy can cut through some of the angst: …

Hi, I am looking for a device, which has the following hardware: - 2x wifi adapter - 2x ethernet adapter - CSI connector for camera - 2x USB port or 1x USB and 1x USB-C port I know it would be very hard to find such a device, but an option would be to use one USB port and WiFi dongle instead second build-in WiFi and another USB to connect ethernet dogle into it. And for USB-C I can use use an USB-C-to-USB adapter... So at least I would like to find a device with: - 1x wifi adapter - 1x ethernet adapter - CSI connector for camera - 2x or 3x USB port Any ideas?

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 have a OPI PC+ with i2c BMP180 sensor, and since the last kernel update (4.19.20), I can't load the driver (modprobe failed, pressure drivers are removed) How can I restore/add BMx180 drivers? thks.

I have an OrangePi Prime with 2 GB RAM. I'm running a server-like node.js app that does constant writes to .json files and text log files. Let's call it "database storage". The app is not otherwise RAM intensive, can run fine on 512 MB boards. I'm thinking of putting all my RAM to use and move the database storage to a RAM disk made with Zram. Do you see any potential problems and interference with the way Zram is configured for this board?
