Free Electrons (now Bootlin ;/) have launched a Kickstarter to get the work on the Allwinner VPU (Video Processing Unit) off the ground again... https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bootlin/allwinner-vpu-support-in-the-official-linux-kernel

Selling a fully working Helios64 NAS from Kobol. It has been running continuously since purchase without any issues. Includes 4x Western Digital Red 4TB HDDs (16TB total), all in good health and used only in this setup. All original parts are included: case, power supply, cables, and accessories. Note: the 1GbE Ethernet fix has not been applied. Selling because I recently upgraded to a new NAS. Located in the Netherlands. Pickup possible or shipping within the EU. Contact me for pricing or questions.

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…

I'm selling my Helios 64 with original box and small parts. Apart from a few attempts, it's basically a new one. The modification for the network interface was made. If you interested please send me a PM. Thanks

Hello, currently I have a rasperry pi zero w with raspbian and I installed kodi on it. Playback is fine (hardware acceleration is supported), the menus are responsive but most addons are sluggish (to say the least). I saw various threads about kodi on armbian (e.g. this and this) and all say that the problem is lack of support of hw acceleration. I assume the more powerful cpu would help with the addons but, unless something has changed, without hw acceleration it makes no sense to even try. Is the situation the same now or has it improved? Maybe I should just get a raspberry pi 3b+? (it should be far more powerful than the pi zero, right?…

Accidentally clicked on kodi while looking for smtube and surprised to see it on my SPI display - no more DRI authentication errors :-) This was on a OPI Prime (H5), kernel 4.17.10.

I can't even imagine the amount of work involved on both sides of the (debian) development fence, as well as the admins, mods, community contributors, ..., here, that help make Armbian a viable SBC (ARM) whatever OS. -and here's to RISC-*, and let it not be too encumbered. My "Armbian_24.11.1_Odroidc4_noble_current_6.6.60-kisak.img" works very well on my lowly Odroid-C4. I don't know your names, but Thankyou all.

Just a small post about how to connect the PL2303HX RS-232 adaptor cable and the Real Time Clock. Do not trust the Banana pi photos as the I2C bus in the Lamobo/Banana PI R1 is inverted. As they say a picture is better than a thousand words. Often the online Banana PI/Lamobo PI diagrams can be confusing, and do not even try to guide yourself by Banana PI pinouts / photos of placement of hardware products/extensions. I will reiterate again, as this can be a source of confusion, the Banana PI is a rebranded Lamobo product, and the GPIO bus is different/rotated 180º. To scan the GPIO: $sudo i2cdetect -l i2c-0 i2c mv64xxx_i2c adapter I2C…

The nice dashboard screenshot above is used by @Fourdee to explain why DietPi is superiour to Armbian: 'With #DietPi, logs and DietPi scripts are mounted to RAM , this reduces SD card write operations vastly' -- while I don't understand the purpose to 'mount scripts to RAM' of course the idea to cache logs into RAM is great! That's why Armbian does it since 2014 already. While the above 'proof' is somewhat questionable (watching a 5 min period in a dashboard and once there's activity in one graph taking a screenshot with numbers without meaning) let's look into what makes DietPi that superiour compared to Armbian since it's always a great idea to improve even …

Being a Windows and Android casual user these days, the days of plugging a motherboard, soundcard, graphics card, installing eide drives is in my long ago past. I want to learn Linux basics and just found a site called.Linux Survival http://linuxsurvival.com Anyone recommend any other good places to learn Linux from and focused at the casual home user? ☺

should we move this to one to: https://forum.armbian.com/forum/31-sd-card-and-power-supply/ as a pinned thread? Actually I think it should be 'saved' somewhere due to it explains the reasons and opinions why Armbian recommends to use Etcher and I think it would fit best there. It might be good to have this somewhere where it doesn't get lost due to new threads showing up. only recommend a tool which validates the Image after burning.. And at the moment, only etcher seems to do this.

I have deleted this project please see https://github.com/sgjava/userspaceio as it covers I2C, SPI and serial in addition to the new GPIOD. I posted instructions over in the H2/H3 forum, but my build project for libgpiod should work on any Armbian mainline distribution, so I'm posting a link here to my Github site. The install is scripted and comes with the ability to generate Python and Java bindings. libgpiod replaces the deprecated sysfs since kernel 4.8. libgpiod-extra project aims to make cross platform/cross language GPIO development a reality. No more one off hacked up Wiring Pi or RPi.GPIO for each SBC. I need help testing across multiple S…

Hello, I migrated my dashboard project from a BananaPro under "Buster" to a BananaPI under "Bullseye", image took from the website, verified and up to date as per Armbian-config.

Hello, I wanted to "build" some kind of Libre Safebox and Libre Router (meaning as libre as possible, of course in this case). I searched around but I still didn't find anything really fully assembled (a part for the Project Turris router, but I was hoping in something more versatile, that isn't necessarily restricted to being a router), so I decide to, if possible, find/assemble a more custom solution by myself. It doesn't have to be anything particularly performing, just that it can handle 720p videos and resolutions smoothly enough, that it can be used to surf the internet even with several open tabs and maybe some basic office things. The most important thing is that…

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 …

Didn't know this thing was ever going to see the light of day: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Lichee-Pi-Zero-1GHz-Cortex-A7-512Mbit-DDR-Development-Board-Module-Mini-PC/32931418720.html I see the original board outline is still there, but it grew a bit of a waistline A valid question is why, and I'm not sure, nor will I buy it, just thought it interesting that it popped up. With complete kernel support for VDEC/VENC/ camera this is actually somewhat interesting, so maybe some people would like to play with it. I'm sure @Icenowy knows more than is humanly possible about the capabilities and whether it's worth talking about.

I saw an indegoo campaign for the LicheePi Zero and was wondering if it'll be a useful board or chock-full-o-problems. It only has 64mbram, but may be useful if used in specific iot projects. I don't think it's available for purchase yet, but it may be soon. I would be interested in getting the add-on wifi component and driving a 2.4" tft lcd with this board.

If there are any people out there proficient in c and assembly we should all commit some time to improving the lima driver, the benefits of having an open source user space driver for the mali gpu are too high to pass up, i plan to devote two of my three sbc's to this task, one with the mali400 the other mali450, there is already considerable information on the 400 in the git repo, i know that i alone cannot do this so please look into it search lima driver on google.

Hi there, i just noticed that the link which should explain how to enter Maskrom Mode on the Tinkerboard S https://www.armbian.com/tinkerboard/ does not point to the Wiki but to a site for an online Casino.

Hi All, I'm working with a linux5.4.213 (arm) - OpenWRT based (QCA driver) Mesh AP. Currently the device is running into Out of memory and looking at the slab info, we see skb_head_cache and skb_data_cache accounting a major increase. But i don't have any clue on how to go about debugging the same. I came across similar issues discussed years ago, but there were no conclusion or methods to debug/triage the issue further. We gave a shot with kmemtracer, but that seems to pretty much point to false positives and the module itself was contributing to leak and we were asked to turn the configs off. If someone could point me on w…

Hello, I got the itch to experiment with Linux on ARM. I tried to get an Odroid N2+ bit seems to be unavailable everywhere. The best thing I could get at a reasonable cost was a Nanopi M4v2, it'll arrive in about 3 weeks. While I wait I remembered that I have an Ouya laying around and I asked myself: Is it possible to install linux on an Ouya? Searching the internet there are very old guides from 2013 to install ubuntu, had the situation improved? Anyone here tried?

Hi, i'm using a Raspad tablet-like device with a aml-s905x-cc inside and i'm experimenting some mobile interface that i can use with the touchscreen, but also with mouse and keyboard. I'm simply curious about convergence desktop designs and mobile desktop environments. The obvious choice would be GNOME, but it is very heavy, both on memory and cpu usage and my board with only 2GB of ram cannot handle it if combined with other heavy programs. I knew that Librem was developing a desktop environment for their Librem 5 linux phone. Since they focus on opensource software i thought if i can install their desktop environment on my tablet to try it and.... yes, it is possib…

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?

Hello, I'm going to industrialize a project using currently the Olimex Lime2. This board is great and have exactly what I need, among others, battery charger and SATA capability. However I figured out that I can not use this board as there is no CE compliance and thus can not be sold as a product. I'm looking for the fellowing specifications : Run on battery for around 5-6 hours, so the board needs a battery charger Good computation >= 1Gz at least 2 cores Large RAM >= 2GB SATA connectivity: We need to load large amount of data, between 250Go and 1To, so a SSD driver connected to a SATA port is required Good…

I have a need for a low-cost machine for my daughter. I could buy a Raspberry pi and run Ubuntu on it, but I have a few Amlogic boards at hand, and for the most part they work perfectly with Armbian (OK I know they are not a supported board, and I don't run an official build). My concern, though, is that lack of hardware support (audio, video decoding) which makes low-profile hardware quite sluggish to use in the daily life. My point is that I am tired of seeing perfectly usable (in theory) electronic products to to landfill (and create an environmental disaster) just because software is falling short. Not even software in fact, bu…

Hello, I hope this is the right place to ask this question (if not, or if there are better places please let me know) I am looking for a very compact single board computer(SBC), that has at least two usb hosts, a low power consumption and ideally a thin form factor. I want to run to make a usb2.0 scientific camera wireless using a virtual usb server (https://www.virtualhere.com) which will compress (LZ4) and transmit the information via wifi. I have measured the usb data rate, it is about 23.5 megabytes/second. Thus, a wifi-ac dongle, connected to the SBC should be adequate for this purpose. Since I do not want the camera to share the USB host with the wi…

I am looking for an affordable SBC card that will work as a solid NAS system that I can also run alongside either TrueNas/FreeNAS/OMV such as Grafana, VPN, Docker. Anything above $100 USD is unfeasible for me right now.

I'm looking for an enclosure for my espressobin. I tried to find a suitable enclosure based on it's form factor Pico ITX, but couldn't find any. Is anyone here using an enclosure for the board? Thanks.

Hello, I am looking for one board in order to build one NAS. I already have one bananapi pro, I am happy with it, the hardware used to be quite better than raspi boards, but it does not seem to still be marketed. It is just a matter of plugging a 2.5" hard drive on it (usb or sata). So the board would require : - be cheap - credit card format - not interested in video performances - the usb and ethernet not built on the same bus (this is why I say bananapi pro is way better than raspi boards) - can be cooled silently - one sata port - good support from armbian (not talking about video) …

I'm looking for current and upcoming PXE bootable SBCs. I guess if it has uboot on a SPI chip (like ROCK64, PINE64, espressobin, opi r1 ...) this is already a good indicator that it will support PXE boot. But I'm not 100% sure if PXE will really work, it seems to be rarely used for such boards. The only board I know which does not have uboot but can boot via PXE is the rpi 3. Maybe there are other ones. Some other boards like the nanopi duo could boot via a SPI chip attached to the respective GPIO pins. Maybe someone here knows other boards with PXE boot support or has tested it already?

Hello Everyone 🤗, I'm not too familiar with Armbian or ARM-based platforms in general. I'm working on an endeavour that calls for creating a unique kernel module, thus any advice or materials you could offer would be really helpful.

My objective is to create a unique kernel module that communicates with a particular piece of hardware—a temperature sensor attached to the I2C bus. The module's job is to read sensor data and provide user-space applications with access to it. Actions To Date: K…

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…

Good day everyone. I'm looking for your recommendations on a not too expensive ARMs powered board. - Preferably 16 or more cores (big.LITTLE mix is fine) - Cortex-A53/A55 or better. - 16GB of RAM or higher - NMVe support - Support for mounting several boards on U1 shallow spaces (depth of 25cm [10 inches] or less) - Support for booting Armbian and CentOS/Fedora Main purpose - system development (Linux, Java, Scala, Go, RUST), Kubernetes, database and overall platform tinkering. The Bamboo Systems - PANDA B1000N looks really nice, but I'm not sure it is in the modestly priced range - unless thinking that paying upfront for the…

Does this Armbian image have all the "standard" packages and utilities installed? Are their any other general packages/app that I need for a general server image? An…

I stopped tinkering for a while but https://magicmirror.builders/ perked my interest and been grinning at such a simple project and generally think its really great. I think they have made some odd options as the server and electron browser have been lumped together which is a really strange choice for absolutely no advantage. The server does need restarts and would seem far more often than you would expect and the use of electron means armv7l only which is a shame for the 0/1 owners. You can install using chromium and you certainly don't need the load of a desktop?! Dunno been wondering. I wanted to use a zero as love that tiny footprint and price and there are…

I was thinking about buying small handheld with keyboard that could be used for small linux terminal, for some quick administrative & diagnostic work (login here, login there, put some commands, see webpage for help, etc). Something inexpensive with small qwerty keyboard.

The MiQi is the same size and price as a Raspberry Pi 3, but this little single-board computer/developer board features a Rockchip processor, up to 32GB of built-in storage, Gigabit Ethernet, and a few other features that help set it apart. http://liliputing.com/2016/04/miqi-is-a-35-single-board-computer-with-rockchip-rk3288.html

Strangely I am unable to view my message on this forum now.

Hi, a few months ago I have build a USB to UART "multiplexer" device, to monitor my multiple Orange Pi PC's using only one USB connection to a separate Host [1]. You can connect up to 8 hosts to the device simultaneous. And you can switch between the different inputs. Only one USB connection is needed to your host you want to use as master. A commandline tool is available to control the device. Its also possible to send data through the device to the connected hosts. It works like a normal USB to serial adapter. It is not possible to read the incoming data from all connected hosts simultaneous. I am use it to log the boot process of my cluster nodes [2]…

dear fellows, what is aimed: on Raspberry Pi i want monitor the CPU temp at a command line, there is the vcgencmd command. Well We can do this in bash: To read CPU temp at a command line, we can use the vcgencmd command. Example in bash: echo "The CPU is at $(vcgencmd measure_temp) degrees." The CPU is at temp=45.5'C degrees. i think that we can do this with Python as well: import re, subprocess def check_CPU_temp(): temp = None err, msg = subprocess.getstatusoutput('vcgencmd measure_temp') if not err: m = re.search(r'-?\d\.?\d*', msg) # a solution with a regex try: …

Just In case anyone is interested I have pushed HTOP 2.2.1 to github, so it is possible to monitor big.LITTLE cores in real-time. You can view the big.LITTLE in action, Vcore, Cpu thermal throttling and Cpu frequency for each big or LITTLE core. HTOP is a nice console graphical tool for system-monitor, process-viewer and process-manager. DEB package and source code in case you want to extend or fix things. Be aware the process list and task can be very intrusive if you want to monitor many things at once. It has been tested on NanoPi M4 (thanks to FriendlyElec for the samples) but should work on any SBC just adjust the Vcore path for differ…

Just in time for FOSDEM some more infos on the new Pine64 H6 and RK3399 boards are available now... https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=5614

On the main armbian.com page are three boards depicted as "Popular downloads". I was just wondering, what are the most popular downloads, perhaps the top five downloads over the past month? Might be interesting to someone looking for a popular and well supported board. Besides Raspberry Pi, that is...

Hello All! I am considering to change my Banana Pi to most powerful board (but with sense of cost), so I have question: what is currently mass produced board that is best in CPU performance and also supports Armbian? Other question about SD port: does these powerful boards support fastest SD cards which have R/W capability at 200MB/s? Which board supports these cards? Thank you

Dear all, As said elsewhere, I'm interested in distributed scientific computing, namely BOINC, and more specifically the Einstein@Home project: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ https://einsteinathome.org/fr/home ARM platforms seem to be a good choice for that purpose IMHO. Even though they lack the raw power of x86_64, at least they don't use a lot of energy and don't need active cooling most of the time (I can't stand the noise of a fan ). At the moment I'm running BOINC on two ARM nodes: a Raspberry PI 3 (Raspbian) and a NanoPi M1 (Armbian). Both are quite dated now and don't allow me to contribute much to this project. …

Hello guys, I hope, I picked the right section. I'm looking for a most suitable SBC for DVB-T2 decoding. Here in Germany is DVB-T dead, so the successor DVB-T2 is there. BUT, the codec here is H.265 and not H.264... So, my idea is to use an PCTV tripleStick 292e, which is supported by LinuxTV sind kernel version 3.16. This stick is able to decode H.264 in hardware. So, to decode H.265 I need a SoC which is supporting H.265 in hardware. The suitable SoC are i.e. Amlogic S905 (Odroid C2) and RK3266 (Asus Tinker). Which SBC would you take for it? I would like to use mainline kernel, if it's possible. Wha…

This is rather a general question and thus I post here. If not, I am hoping any mod here will kindly move it to a more proper sub forum. I am wondering if ARMbian does support any Android devices based on an MT6582 (4-core 1.3 GHz) CPU. This CPU is mainly used on either an Android smartphone or tablet/phablet. I sure would like to try ARMbian on my tablet with an MT6582 CPU. Anyone?

Noob question - Forgive me here, I'm quite new to u-boot. I made a change in my /boot/armbianENV.txt and my Tinkerboard won't boot. I know exactly what to fix, except I'm not accustomed to not being able to find the file. I've mounted the SD Card on another Linux OS and can see/mount all my partitions, I have them mounted but none of the /boot directories are what is typically there when armbian is booted. I'm assuming u-boot is an image and /boot gets dynamically created. Done some searching but not making much sense of what I'm seeing. How/Where do I find the /boot/armbianENV.txt file with the SD Card mounted to another machine? Thanks in advance.

Seems that hardware accelerated Videodecoding & GPU usage is the new 'hot topic' at the moment. A lot of this stuff is discussed in various topics and threads and subforums here. As nice at it is to bring this topics up, it's hard to follow them across the forum and when those questions come up from users you have to link the to a bunch of topics which they probably don't read cause it's simply to much to read (I now that this is a shitty argument, but reading is boring for most people in those days.. ). So why does it make sense to open another thread targeting this topic? This should summarize the things that work, no suggestions what could work, should work,…

Hi, I have one specific problem without reasonable solution. When I put two aliases on ethernet interface, boot time is much bigger, eg. 2-4 minutes. Here is my cfg file: Is there any solution, please?

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 …

Hi all, One question here. I am making an electronic design that was previously completed by a third party. It has a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W attached, an Ethernet controller module based on the ENC28J60, and an RJ45 connector. Here the Ethernet controller module is similar to the GeeekPi ENC28J60 Overlays HAT V1.02 board. Added: ENC28J60 's Main Specs ref: https://www.kukelec.com/products/ENC28J60-I--SS.html The issue is that the Raspberry Pi is unable to establish a network connection via Ethernet, as the ENC28J60 chip is not even recognized. I have checked the Raspberry Pi’s configuration, and it is correct and consistent with the chosen SPI pins. While …

Dear all, First post here I just wanted to thank you for the up-to-date image you made for the pcDuino4 Nano (a.k.a the NanoPI M1): https://armbian.hosthatch.com/archive/nanopim1/archive/ It's much better than the stock image provided my LinkSprite, based upon Debian 8 "Jessie": https://www.linksprite.com/pcduino4-nano/ I only had one issue so far with your image, certainly related to the default overclocking at 1368 MHz, which didn't play well with the CPU intensive, NEON optimized tasks I threw at it (BOINC) I lowered the frequency to 1296 MHz and it's been running stable for a couple …

Hi all. I've seen a lot of questions here about what sbc to buy. So why not put a few links here to my videos about SBC's. The first is my latest video about the desktop experience with the Odroid XU4. This video is about the Rock64(with Armbian) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oX7TabSROw This about the Rasp 3b+ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UbapdFXpqE&t=2s Khadas VIM2 MAX https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3ue7mmpVoU&t=188s Asus Tinker Board + Odroid C2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PT17hiELHLE I also can use the views. Thank you. Have a nice day.

I'm augmenting my iBook G3 with my pcDuino3 Nano to act as a wireless gateway and host for a development toolchain. It's working fine so far and once I'm done it will be completely powered by the FireWire port The only downsides are that it is a bit big and at idle it's taking ~250mA which I'm going to have to play with at some point and see if I can get it down any more.

Hi everyone, I'm building a micro server based on orange pi prime and armbian, after reading a lot about sd card wear out, I started thinking how could I improve that in my project. For my project it is ok, if data would be physically written to card, every 1 minute instead of on every commit. Now, what I can't find: is there a way to generally configure such memory buffering for a filesystem, so that I don't have to configure this for a database engine?

Hello dear experts at Armbian well the mysql_connect_error-script is a great help: It returns a string description of the last connect error ( see more infos here: https://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.connect-error.php ). The mysqli_connect_error() function returns the error description from the last connection error, if there is any error-note. the return value are the following ones: a. A string that describes the error. b. an empty string if no error occurred. at least this goes for the Version: PHP 5, PHP 7 well - if we run the code below we can get the info bout the option to connect to the db. What if we run this as a …

Hi, is there a way to automate how the nand-sata-install works - for example, if my image is on an SD card and I want to flash my emmc card on boot - can that be automated somehow? I tried looking at the documentation, but no luck. Thank you!

I know that you have a lot of to do, because there is a lot of new single boards... For considerate for the future support.: Nano pi k1 plus with H5 allwinner cpu. And also renegade single board from libre computers based on Rockchip RK 3328 the same as rock64. Both cpu's are supported in other boards so it will be easer.

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…

Hi, I'm new to the SoC / Armbian world, and I'm trying to connect to my NanoPC-T4 via UART (Armbian 20.11.7 Focal with Linux 5.9.14-rockchip64). I'm using an ADAFRUIT Industries 954 USB-to-TTL serial cable. The NanoPC-T4 pin spec indicates SPI1_TXD/UART4_TX(3V) as pin 19, GND as pin 20, and SPI1_RXD/UART4_RX(3V) as pin 21. I have hooked up my ADAFRUIT accordingly with the white receptacle (RX) to pin 19, the black receptacle (GND) to pin 20, and the green receptacle (TX) to pin 21. The full NanoPC-T4 pin spec is here: http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPC-T4. The kernel command line is as follows: [ 0.00…

At first I compiled today armbian buster dev with kernel 5.10.10 and had no chance to connect eth0 nor wlan0 to my network Only a USB-Ethernet did connect instantly via DHCP. I did try to go back to kernel 5.9.1 via armbin-config, because with older installations with kernel 5.9.1 (up to 5.9.5) it did work, but also cant connect via onboard ports But onboard ethernet get a link and did show the right speed and wlan0 is also displaying the available WiFi networks. Next try was to build the armbian buster current (which gave me also kernel 5.10.10) and it also doesnt connect with onboard devices (here not via Network-Manager nor /e…

At a first glance NanoPi Duo looks like a combination of Lichee Pi Zero (form, idea) and Orange Pi Zero (ingredients: H2+ and XR819 Wi-Fi). But once combined with the Mini Shield (RPi form factor -- connector and mounting hole positions), USB hub to provide 4 USB2 ports, Fast Ethernet exposed and a short mSATA slot behind a JMS567 USB-to-SATA bridge) it starts to get interesting. More information in FriendlyELEC's wiki/Github: http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_Duo http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/Mini_Shield_for_NanoPi_Duo Device tree file

CNX software gave me the heads up on it, https://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=244 More or less looks like a Duo with the following adjustments: 256 --> 512 MB RAM base H2+ --> H3 (uncertain why this matters on a DIP package) Garbage Wifi --> AP6212 Other than WiFi I'm not sure I see a huge reason to go for one over the other. If you're building around a dual-inline package, multimedia is probably low on priorities. On the bright side, supporting this should be trivial if there's a demand, it should more or less only require a device tree for the wifi.

So in armbian-config I can enable /dev/i2c-0 /dev/i2c-1 /dev/i2c-2 but there is only one hardware I2C onboard. Are the other two software driven? If so what pins do you use for SCL and SDA?
