If you have time and a spare Allwinner H3-CPU system (like the Orange Pi One or PC (not PC2 because of H3 CPU) you could try the BASIC Engine NG for H3-PiComputers/Boards. The - bare metall - BASIC seems to have very powerful commands - see the Online-Manual A forum in BETA state is at this URL I downloaded and booted the SDCard-Image from the 14.10.2021 (compressed size 5.4MB) from this directory Image was written with Balena Etcher to the SDCard Have fun and write new BASIC-programms!

Which Device should i go for ? My use case :- 1. 24x7 Torrent Downloader. 2. Jackett , Sonarr & Radarr. 3. Use is as headless server. 4. Plex - Stream on Fire 4K. 5. Must provide max Samba speed with windows around 90 Mb transfer rate. 6. Must Support Direct Play 4K HDR , I'm not too fussy about audio and can switch to AAC if there is any transcoding. But would like to know whether it can play TrueHD. 7. I already have C2 which i use for same purpose but it clearly goes into transcoding whenever i play any 4K HDR movie which is more than 25 Mb Bit rate. 8. Should be easily available in my country India The options I could think …

This mini-tutorial is for those interested in running OpenGL applications and games on OpenGL ES. Most (maybe all?) SoCs around support OpenGL ES, which is almost a stripped down version of OpenGL. OpenGL ES is mainly used by smartphone apps, but on Linux and generally on desktop computer OpenGL clients are the most common. This tutorial is very simple and will teach you on how to download and compile GL4ES (github: https://github.com/ptitSeb/gl4es), a nice piece of software that converts most OpenGL calls into OpenGL ES counterparts to achieve some degree of compatibility and let your apps run on our SoCs. The target of this tutorial is the Rockchip RK3288 SoC …

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

Suptronics/Geekworm sells RPi add-ons for a long time. They started with an add-on using the crappy/slow GL830 USB-to-SATA bridge but switched to a good JMS578 after some public complaints (see there also for the issues with GL830) Now they offer a metal box with fan kit and for their X830 USB-to-SATA board for less than 30 bucks. Power input: 14 to 40V DC via 5.5/2.5mm power barrel jack, the SBC can then be powered through GPIO header pins.

I don't know where to write it, but if there is someone looking for MC1 at discount price, there is a big sale going on. I took 5 of them to build a h.264 encoding farm.

For the last few years I have been working on some hardware projects based on ARM SBCs. Every board I work with seems to have different kernel/overlay/GPIO/etc issues. So my question is - Which SBC, or chipset, has most complete and stable Armbian support? In other words if you had to pick a board to go into battle to run Armbian, without knowing any specific requirements, which SBC would it be?

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

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

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…

Java U8g2 is a high performance library based on U8g2: Library for monochrome displays, version 2. Rather than try to code the JNI by hand I used HawtJNI to generate the JNI wrappers.

Make Atheros drivers ignore regulatory domain set in EEPROM I found the bottom link https://sites.google.com/site/twisteroidambassador/linux/ath-user-regd "For my purpose I need these two patches: 402-ath_regd_optional.patch and 404-regd_no_assoc_hints.patch. The first one ignores regdomain set in EEPROM, and the second one disables "picking up regulatory domains" from other APs." How can these two patches be included in official images on ARMbian?

dear community i own a udoo quad which Armbian does fit to this hardware? love to hear from you

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!

OK, playing around with NanoPi Duo (H2+) to see what kind of performance boost I can get using MMIO (/dev/mem) instead of gpiod (forget sysfs) and it was pretty impressive. I used pre-calculated offset to run a square wave (rapid on/off) on pin 203 IOG11 and I hit ~3.8 MHz compared to ~500 KHz using gpiod. You can take a peek at the source at https://github.com/sgjava/java-periphery/blob/master/src/main/java/com/codeferm/periphery/demo/MmioTest.java. So the idea is how to make this generic with boards with multiple GPIO chips and different register configurations. The cool thing is the underlying MMIO stuff is kernel cross platform. Any ways I've been thinking about this …

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

Hi, I just got 2 of these. Everything is fine but you need to order power adapter 12V 2A with 3.5mm x 1.35mm connector. Unfortunately due to earlier version of BIOS compare to same looking GeoBook 1E but with dualcore Celeron N4020 it cannot boot from microSD card. Speakers are rubbish but it could be good for some low powered machine projects. And one advice. Do not change "Quick boot" option in BIOS setting or it will not boot and you will need to unplug battery to reset BIOS. It work with both Windows 11 or Linux with no extra drivers mods needed. 5Ghz wifi and bluetooth also included. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166222480445

Nothing like a good weekend challenge to occupy my inner nerd. I love this web interface NODE JS along with this relay plate RELAY PLATE and have it working with Raspberry PI3, but now I want to take advantage of the additional ram I have with Rock64. The process did not go without a hitch. I list the latest version of NPM in my machine and the web interface is working. I don't think the relays are getting triggered even though I painstakingly crossed the power pinouts and the gpio pinouts. Not sure if this can be adapted or if it has been done before. I am good at following those that know more than me, but do not consider myself knowledgeable enough to blaze new trails.…

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).

Hi all, I've a minimal LINUX on a ARM board here (COREELEC on an ODROID N2). It does not use any 'apt--' based software control system. ( I do not know how its actually called ...) I would like to add all the tools of ARMBIAN and its rich software kingdom into this minimal LINUX. COREELEC does not know about 'apt' by purpose and thats' fair enough and respected. And there are lots of reason to discuss why to do so or not. But that is beyond the scope of this thread. Any hint would be helpfull. Thanks Gerry

Hi again, For a dedicated digital audio system (squeezebox) I would like to set up my Pine64 board with a preemptible kernel.

There is an opensource wm that I'd like to use with Armbian. I have compiled and installed it, but would like to have it as a package. I have forked a repo that makes a .deb of this wm and built it with Shippable (so aarch64). I don't have any Debian mirror to host it... so... What is the standard way to build a package for Armbian? There are also other libraries/tools (like pacman, libarchive) that I have compiled (because I could not find them)... Thanks.

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

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'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 Armbians As the title already says, I would like to know what the best 5V SBC`s are to be used as network relay? The board should have a minimum of 1,5 GB RAM and it should be able to handle about (or even more then) 50 MBit/s synchronous network bandwidth by ethernet plug 24/7. My standart board for this use is the Cubietruck/ Cubieboard3. But this one is only able to handle traffic about the 25 MBit/s range. Same for Banana Pro by Lemaker. It can handle a little bit more then the CT, but not that much. I also have a Khadas VIM Pro (V1) and a Hummingboard by SolidRun avaliable but never tested them for this szenario. Maybe ther…

Greetings, colleagues! When I connect a Wi-Fi USB adapter, the system assigns it a terrible interface name! I'm used to the fact that a well-bred Linux gives them names like wlan0, wlan1, etc... Armbian gives the name according to the following scheme: "wlx<MAC-ADDRESS>"! It is very uncomfortable! How I can persuade him to give names according to the traditional scheme? I am grateful for the answers on the essence of the question, Ogogon.

For example, what is the name of the two 2GB DDR 4 ram on the nanopi neo3 board?

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.

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…

The Z80-MBC2 is powered and accessable via a USB-TTL-serial-adapter (configured to 5V - not 3.3V) type CP2102 seen as /dev/ttyUSB0 The easy way would be to connect the USB-adapter to a Pi-style computer wth armbian, login via SSH and start minicom for the port. But that way doenst look as good - to me - as the following way First we need to install ser2net and telnet (telnet doesnt seem to be installed as standard) in armbian via apt install ser2net telnet Then we have to edit /etc/ser2net.conf (delete all lines after the comments and in…

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) …

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

https://github.com/open-sdr/openwifi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW6-6N_EtrY The goal is to release open source technical blue prints of an 802.11 wifi card. Ready for manufacturing. Hiring people for the task would be about 400000usd. At the present time such funds are not at hand. Openwifi got a nlnet.nl grant. Next move is to build a fpga wifi card device. Please comment if you think there will be a market for such a device? Which price should it have? Should a crowd funding get started, do you know companies willing to join a double up crowd funding? Thank you.

Hi all. I've just finished a new video where I polish the heatsink of my Rock Pi X with sandpaper. This because there's a rather thick powdercoating on the heatsink in the spot where it makes contact with the SoC. This caused a lot of thermal resistance. The SoC would get hot and overheat, while the heatsink didn't warm up. And the top of the board was the hottest spot. Here my video. On the NanoPi M4 and M4V2 there was a thermal pad included. This also was pretty bad. I raplaced those with a copper shim and some thermal paste and improved the thermals by about 10C. If you like to use your board passively cooled it can be important to look f…

Hi All, I wonder if anyone ever succeeded in getting the USB 2.0 port of this board work properly. I'd like to (try to) use it as a *very* low cost ADS-B receiver using an external RTL-SDR dongle, but despite the fact that the port is claimed to be a 2.0 (and recognized by the OS as a 2.0 Hub) when I attach the dongle (which is a high speed 2.0) no driver are loaded and is instead recognized as a full speed device, therefore the RTL-SDR library stops working with transfer errors, since it needs the 480M transfer speed of the 2.0 port and is unable to work with the 12M speed of the "full" standard. Here is my dmesg | grep usb …

Instruction on how to use wireless WoL (Wake on LAN) using RTL8189FS example in Armbian 23.x Bookworm (This wireless WIFI adapter is installed in Oprange Pi Lite/Oprange Pi Plus(2E)/Orange Pi Zero Plus/Oprange Pi PC Plus/Oprange Pi 2/etc...) 1. First of all we need to change the device tree configuration file dts file for our single board. The point is that for most WIFI drivers for SDIO interface there is a normal configuration of single board wake-up via interrupt and therefore there is no need to go into dts. In the driver for RTL8189FS (aka RTL8189FTV) there is NO such feature as "host-wake" interrupt and we will have to make small changes to wake up the…

I would like to install a small mpd server (Music Player Daemon) that would read files from a usb disk, stream webradios and possibly be controlled by ir. What is the most lightweight and cheapest board that would exist and could do that ? The orange pi zero with an extension board or a usb audio card would have been perfect, but I read several posts about the lack of software updates and the never resolved kernel issues. How bad is it really ? And then what else would do the job?

Hi, Why not Armbian image for Banana Pi M2U?

Hi, I was checking the Rock Pi 4C, because of it’s dual display capabilities (I have two monitors and will like to use them in extended mode) But according to this: https://shop.allnetchina.cn/collections/frontpage/products/rock-pi-4c-board-only-2-4-5ghz-wlan-bluetooth-5-0 a mini DP to HDMI is not supported, both of my monitors are HDMI only. I thought that the conversion was merely hardware. Could someone explain this or give me a recommendation for an ARM board supporting multiple (hdmi) displays? Thanks

To monitor and restart boards, we could use the FOSS Android app RasPi Check. However, Armbian needs to reply to all requests from the app (with a valid or dummy value). I looked into it a while back. Perhaps there are more people interested in it from the Armbian community. Let me know if you want to work on this too.

I just build the build the driver for my RTL8188FTV that supported by rtl8188fu. It works as wifi hot spot but has some problems with nmcli . I share what is done and I hope it be useful for others. 0. Install dkms , make and git: apt install dkms make git 1. Remove any existing source and dkms config for module : dkms remove rtl8188fu/1.0 --all rm -f /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8188fufw.bin rm -f /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8188fu.conf rm -r /var/lib/dkms/rtl8188fu 2.

Anyone can sell me one or more NanoPi M4 4GB?

We have community member in France who needed an RPI3 for $dayjob. They found one and dont need one. But it turns out @NicoDhas some RPIs for sale and more. Help support Nicod and channel by purchasing all the crap in his office so he can clean up his camera angles ! 😂😂😂

Made some power consumption tests of different USB-Ethernet 2.5G, 1G and 100M dongles. Test bed: Orange Pi Zero3 with 480 MHz CPU speed locked, connected to the PC over UART, Armbian 26.11.0-trunk.30 6.18.48-current-sunxi64 AVHzY CT-3 for power consumption monitoring Intel I226-V as another Ethernet side First I set a baseline Orange Pi consumption with USB Host enabled. The absolute minimum I could get is with a Logitech radio keyboard dongle plugged in — 0.934 W. Then I plugged in USB-Ethernet adapters and recorded its idle power consumption without cable connected, idle power with cable and En…

Hi guys . Im new on this, but I just install armbian on my orangePI litle and after wifi connect with my router the wifi icon disappear. how i canfix this . Thanks for any help.

Hi, please suggest your advice for the best laptop as of today, while keeping the following considerations in view: i) Purpose: General Home Use but I will use some high end software like PHotoshop, Adobe series ii) Range: $600 max iii) Brand Preference: Dell or HP or any other you suggest iv) I will also watch movies on the same Suggest please. Thanks

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.

Congratulations. Armbian is adedd to the distrowatch list. https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=armbian Already 2 years ago I submitted you to the list but then they refused to listen to me, despite the fact that RaspbianOS was placed a long time ago. I think that this will further influence the popularity of the venture.

WOW, I was really unhappy when I saw this, just goes to show you not to trust even projects like ARMBIAN on where they will connect to from your network, advise before anyone finds themselves in trouble having to explain why some of these connections..... I was downloading Armbian image and then got a warning that I couldn't connect to site called "FOREVER PIRATES" and became concerned... You can read it yourself... https://imgur.com/a/IQyzlvr

Hi, Is there any plan fro Armbian to support Rockchip processors like RK3288 or RK3399? Any guide on how to port Armbian on them? These processors have official support on GPU (both openCL and openGL ES), HW video codec (like H264 encoding and decoding with gstream), and also open-sourced Kernel 4.4.x. And most important thing is they are willing to support opensource community and fix their bugs continuously. I've got a RK3288 proto board which was able to run Linux 4.4 + Debian with HW accelerated desktop and video playing, and it worked perfect. The only thing that troubled me is the Debian system that maintained by Rockchip is suck.…

Hello everyone! I am here to ask for knowledgeable suggestion: I am looking for a possibly armbian supported board capable of hardware transcoding a single 1920x1080 hdmi source at 15 fps. Source is coming from a usb UVC video grabber in raw yuv422 format. Hard requirements is to produce a rtsp stream at original resolution/framerate of the source. Soft requirements is to have also an HTML5 embeddable stream to use in a web application without needing a plugin. Tipically, this would be a MP4 (h.264 codec) and a webm (V8 codec) streams (possibly both to ensure best browser compatibility). This would be used for monitoring purposes by the user, so 5fps…

Just a quick note to help other users that may have the same problem: Recently I've added the 2 USB expansion board to my Orange Pi Zero running Armbian. As the new USB ports did not get listed by lsusb, I've looked into /boot/armbianEnv.txt: It started with samba configuration (?) and a bunch of NUL characters (!). I assume it was corrupted by some wrong power outage. Anyway, recovering the armbianEnv.txt file from original armbian image solved the issue. For reference, this is my current WORKING armbianEnv.txt file contents: verbosity=1 logo=disabled console=both disp_mode=1920x1080p60 overlay_prefix…

Yes. Cubieboard 1 I am doing various testings on OS level to find bugs related to last changes and I wanted to see how current latest Armbian assembly works on an older, officially unsupported, board, which we usually don't use any more. Especially not for a desktop replacement.

Hi, I am trying to run ubuntu 14.04 on a rk3066 SoC. I am having trouble with X not configuring itself properly. The Screen is limited to left half of the momitor. I may not have the most appropriate driver since I only have fbdev but it is enough for my purposes -general browsing. I dont need 2D/3D hw accelaration etc. I tried to work driectly with the framebuffer (/dev/fb0) using fbi image viewer and it displays full screen. The resolution reported is correct too -1920x1080 but for some reason Xorg runs at half screen. I cant seem to change x settings via xrandr -it looks like there is a bug in xrandr when fbdev is used. (google failed to get size of gamma fo…

First post here... apologies in advance for any questions that might sound dumb. My plan: buy Android TV boxes and install Armbian to run browsers and remote control using AnyDesk. I chose Android TV boxes - everything is complete and contained in a small box + very cheap. For £35 for example, I can get with power supply - with 2GB RAM - not sure about processor though. - Should I consider other options? Like Orange Pi? I've got a 3rd generation Raspberry Pi - that is so poor for speed, chokes on one or 2 browser tabs. (I haven't tried Armbian - I will be doing shortly.) - Need recommended hardware. Whether it's an…

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…

I have zyxel NSA325v2 nas right now, with custom OS (Debian Buster) which is based on single core armv5 cpu. It handles 2 wd red HDDs quite nice, just as RAID 1 volume (mdadm). But when I installed OMV 5 his "horsepower" was...well, nonexistent [emoji2955] Simple file upload via samba takes about 80% of cpu at load ~2.0, downloading at load 1.5 and iperf indicates about 650-700Mbps speed. So I started to wonder - as an user of a few OPIs - if it would be possible to upgrade my NAS in very cheap manner [emoji16] Let's say at $50 max. Does any setup - beside USB-to-SATA card - comes to your mind? Any real SATA sbc at this price is available at all? Or sbc + pci-to-sata c…

So, I've been doing some reading, and found this ... https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/overlay-notes.rst Looks like a mechanism to dynamically load or unload device tree overlays live. Really the only change is that .dtbo files need to be compiled with symbols (-@) like this: dtc -@ -o myoverlay.dtbo myoverlay.dts And then you can load/unload those overlays after (or during) boot by doing something like this: # Creates the dynamic overlay mkdir /sys/kernel/config/device-tree/overlays/myoverlay # Load the dynamic overlay cat myoverlay.dtbo > /sys/kerne…

Just FYI: the first interesting Banana board since ages: BPi R16 based on Allwinner's A33 SoC (R16 is just a relabeled A33 with a different Allwinner business unit being responsible for). For R16 exists a horribly outdated 'SDK' made by Allwinner's BU5: https://github.com/tinalinux/linux-3.4 (relies on unpatched kernel 3.4.39 which might contain more security flaws than features in the meantime. Their tinalinux approach combines this with an outdated Android 4.4 and somehow also a smelly OpenWRT version for reasons unknown to me. Surprisingly they also rely on their own proprietary LiveSuit image format no one on this planet outside of Allwinner wants to use). …

Hi to all, I have a OPi One and I just have a question: I'd like to use it as mediacenter but als like retroconsole. So, my doubt is: 1. do I need to have 2 sd card one with openelec and one with retropie? Or can I have one that do both? I don't know maybe openelec can execute retroarch with lakka gui? I know that I could use armbian with kodi and retroarch installed, but I try to find something that is confortable to use with a tv. 2. this question is related to the previous one: Opi1 has 1 usb port, can I use a normal usb hub or I need to use an hub that has external power? I plan to attach 1 hdd, a wifi key and a bt key. 3. where I could find a list of su…

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 …
