Hi All, in an attempt speed up my Armbian image build process I put the last build choices in a bash script ./compile.sh BOARD=nanopim4v2 BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=yes BUILD_MINIMAL=no\ DESKTOP_APPGROUPS_SELECTED='browsers editors'\ DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT=gnome\ DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT_CONFIG_NAME=config_base\ KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=jammy but I still get prompted for input when I run the script - what am I doing wrong ?

Hi all, i have install on armian buster 10 on my Helios64. After the installation and the first config OMV 5 i see only two plug ins with 0 Bytes??? I have no experience and I'm asking for help!

Hi, I think I may have posted about this in a few places, but I'm not sure where most are looking to discuss helios64 issues. The problem I am having is that the fans do not turn at all. As per the wiki, I've tried setting fancontrol off, and checking that the pwm value goes to 255, which it does but still no movement. I am using the fans supplied in the kit. There is nothing obstructing the fans, and sometimes if I disconnect and reconnect them from the board they will twitch a bit, or spin for a short while (until the connector is fully down against the board), but nothing otherwise. I've also tried heating the cpu up to ~85C (e.g `cat /dev/rando…

Hello, i'm experiencing random reboots on my RockPi 4b. I firstly recognoized this when my Squid Proxy Server was not working anymore because it had no permissions to its var/log/squid directory. What i saw (lsblk) that /var/log/ is only of a size of 50mb. Will that be the cause for the reboots? Does the system crash when the logs are full? My System is a Rock Pi 4b with 32gb emmc storage. Debian Stretch with Armbian Linux 4.4.192-rockchip64 Armbian Release 5.90 (i dont know how to change to the next version as armbian-config does not provide the switch to next button) Output or Armbianmonitor -u http://ix.io/22oZ

Hi. I'm using an OrangePi RK3399 and if the power supply from the 12V barrel jack is removed, the LTE module connected to the mPCIE port dies. Does anybody know how to make the mPCIE port work while on battery? The mPCIE dying is due to the port being powered from the main power supply line VBUS from the barrel jack (before the BQ25700a battery charger IC, according to the board's schematics). I don't know why power is not supplied from VSYS like everything else on the board. So, what I've found is that if I want to power the mPCIE port from the battery, the reverse OTG mode from the BQ25700a battery charger IC would need to be set (allowing voltage to flow from the bat…

The buster image boots up, and has both Ethernet and Wifi devices enabled. But no IP packets leave or reach the board, trying both dhcp or static setup, on ipv4 and ipv6. Ping shows destination unreachable msgs. Eth0 interface shows up in desktop GUI as well as armbian-config tool and with ip interface command Switching to an eMMC with bionic image works fine.

Hi all, has anyone managed to get wifi working on the Buster image for M4 v 1 ? Works perfectly with Bionic but I couln't connect at all on the Buster image ( eth0 on physical cable was fine ), using armbian-config lists available networks but is unable to connect ( which is what the error message is )

Hello everyone. Please help me with the following problem. I have a Rock Pi 4b 1.4 (with SPI flash). I did the boot from the NVMe SSD using the image rkspi_loader-v20.11.2-trunk-v2.img according to the instructions. I installed Armbian 23.11 Jammy XFCE on NVMe SSD KingSpec NX 1TB. I’m using a power supply Baseus 65W GaN Pro (with PD). The system loads and works well. However, the system cannot reboot. When i click on reboot, the system starts to reboot and after the reset goes into a cyclic reboot. I need to turn off the power to reboot. What could be the problem and how to solve it? UART (Serial console) log: " " $&0 f@`B@@NF0f@`B@@NF 0f@`B@@NF@@@LN`b`N" " …

I've been having HDD/SATA issues with my zfs pool, as have many others. Now my HDDs will not spin up or be recognized when on slot 1 or 2. What's wrong, how to check and what to check? Any help appreciated.

I successfully booted this one and connected over Ethernet. Haven't checked WiFi yet. However, the observation comparing to the original Rockchip's Jammy image: the serial port goes quiet after the U-Boot fires up the kernel. The bootloader on the board and the _original_ kernel use non-standard 1500000 baudrate serial speed for the console. I haven't looked into Armbian's guts yet, but I assume it's a matter of right kernel boot arguments for this board to actually spit out kernel output over serial. What I'm not sure is if the console can be cloned between serial and UI over HDMI (console on the frame buffer if I'm right). I'm open to…

Hi all, I am used to update my systems every day, but this time.... Yesterday, all of a sudden, after an "apt update" command showed to me there was 222 updates available. Wow, there was many updates on KDE, I left it for later, but after finishing my tasks I made the upgrade. After reboot, at login screen, password was accepted but login screen reappears. I tryed many times. I noticed that login was set to "KDE Wayland"... I changed to "KDE X11" and Bingo... Login ok. But Task bar is shown everything to the left and without the apps.

When using the "boot from SD install to NVMe" option of armbian-config it offered the option to format the NVMe drive with btrfs. When I selected that option, it briefly flashed an error about the partition being too small (even though I had created a 120GB partition). The actual problem appears to have been that btrfs-progs was not installed. After installing that package and rerunning armbian-config it was possible to btrfs format and install successfully. I suggest the error message could be improved. Armbian_22.11.1_Rockpi-4cplus_jammy_current_5.15.80_minimal.img.xz

Hello everyone. I have a defunct Helm Email server which carries a Rockchip rk3399 SoC. I have flashed with a custom Armbian image provided by the Helm folks. After flashing the box with the .img file, I am able to ssh into the new armbian box and go through the basic initial armbian setup. The box recognizes my 1TB nvme drive, so I then create a primary partition and format the nvme using fdisk and mkfs. I then install armbian-config and use it to install the root system to the nvme0n1p1 by using the following option on the menu: System -> Install -> 1 Boot from SD, and chose the nvme0n1p1 partition. After that I verify the BootE…

I want to directly create an armbian root file system called rootfs.img and then adapt it to the RK kernel configuration to run compilation scripts/ Build.sh updateimg directly generates image burning I don't know if this method is feasible

With external power, orange led 9 in addition to that. FTDI chip is recognized regardless of power status, I can connect to the console. After pressing power button, green LEDs 2 and 3 and blue LEDs 4 and 5 light up immediately, and after that nothing else happens. Nothing on the serial console, no LEDs change status. Tried disconnecting the battery. Then without external power, all LEDs are dark (but FTDI chip is still visible), with external power orange LED 9 blinks, the rest is exactly the …

Greetings everyone, I am new to the forum. I have recently completed an initial boot of Armbian 20.11.3 (stable) which appeas to be Debian Buster under the skin. I have a Sabrent 256GB NVME ready to go (works on other Rk3399 boards and my Pinebook Pro). I am booting from a 64GB uSD card. Using Armbian-config, I was able to update my board's SPI u-boot to mainline and rebooted to confirm I didn't mangle the SPI. The next step was to run the nand-sata-install.sh script to get it to copy the root and boot filesystems onto the NVME drive. While everything has worked so far and I copied the latest nand-sata-install.sh script from Github yesterday (when…

On my NanoPi R6C I downloaded the Armbian 23.11 Bookworm CLI and booted the machine from the SD card. Then I installed gnome and firefox. Most things works so far, but I get no sound over hdmi (there is no headphone jack). The gnome - settings - sound shows only the dummy device. Youtube videos play ok, but somewhat laggy and with very high processor load (all cores close to 100% on the gnome system monitor).

Hi, I want to do a NAS RAID(4,1) with the M4 with SATA hat. This thing is f... damned fast with SAMBA. I meassured 60MB/s with a 1.5TB 2.5" drive I had just laying around. OK, I forgot to mention that I installed Armbian. It's been three years since my last attempt to build a useful PC with AARCH64 and many things happened meanwhile. Looks like the time has come finally. (To say good bye to x86 and Windows.) Can someone point me to a direction before I gonna buy four SSDs?

I was getting kernel panics and discovered that my 32 GB Rock 5B Blue Edition just crashes when I try to malloc 8-9 gigabtes of memory. Is there a way to specify that this board has 32 GB ram? 5.10 works fine.

Very interested in the Helios64, but can't help but to notice the rockchip cpu in it is 5+ years old at this point. Any plans to upgrade it to a more modern cpu? At this price range I'd probably lean towards an Odroid H2+ with a celeron J1114 chip which has like 2-3x the multicore performance and a similar TDP

I first made a self-built image for nanopi-r2s and everything is fine. But another self-built image of Nanopi-R2S seems refuse to boot after enabling these configurations: `DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT`, then `DEBUG_INFO_BTF` and `MODULE_ALLOW_BTF_MISMATCH` But the LED on RJ45 blinks, and I can ping the IP that I get from my router DHCP, but SSH connection refused. So I guess it may have booted, but refuse SSH connection. I have no TTL serial connections yet, I'll check it and post the logs here some time later. Can anybody help? How can I enable ssh with? Is it possible to enable it at build stage? Thanks.

If you want the fans of your Helios64 to start spinning earlier, look no further. This will allow the fans to spin at a constant speed from the earliest stage of initrd until fancontrol is started by the system. My use-case is for full disk encryption and recovery in initramfs, sometimes I can have the machine powered on for quite a while before fancontrol starts. Or, if the boot process encounters an error the fans may never start, this prevents that. Step 1: Tell initramfs to include the pwm-fan module echo pwm-fan | sudo tee -a /etc/initramfs-tools/modules Step 2: Create a new file at /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/fan with the followin…

Hi all, For most Nanopi devices there are packages in the registry which contain the u-boot files, for example: https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/armbian-apt/pool/main/l/linux-u-boot-nanopi-r4s-current/ Is there a reason these packages aren't present for the Nanopi R6S? The reason behind this question is that I used to extract the u-boot from these packages to experiment with other OS'es which have no official release for a certain device. Of course I can get the u-boot from the downloadable images its first couple bytes, but downloading just the package is way smaller. If there is another source to obtain the u-boot blobs I am all ears. …

Hello. I'm using a NanoPi M4V2 with 4GB of LPDDR4. Before installing Armbian, I tried FriendlyElec and the total amount of 4GB of RAM was detected. When moving to Armbian Buster with kernel 5.9.14-rockchip64, the system is detecting only 2GB of RAM (MemTotal: 1964780 kB). I searched the forum to see if anyone else was having this problem but strangely I found no more reports of this issue. I also tried Armbian Focal, but the problem remains. Thank you.

Hey guys, First of all I would like to let you know that the default DTB has an issue, the GPU status is disabled by default. I've changed this & now my GPU is detected & working fine so far. (Armbian Jammy current) But I'm also facing some other Issues.... not all USB Ports are working, just 2-3 & the working ports sometime are randomly switching after a reboot. Bluetooth isn't working at all I guess these Issues are also related to the dtb file because I didn't find any entries for BT in the DTB. I also tried the other DTB file: rk3399-rock-4c-plus but I dont have any video output with it but there…

Hello! First time poster. Been slowly learning linux over the years. Kind of a noob but maybe at an intermediate to advanced noob level. I've been having trouble upgrading firmwares. As title says, 24.11.3 breaks display. Luckily I was able to SSH in and determine 24.11.1 is functional. I'm not sure how to tackle this. I can tell you, I have many errors on startup which i have attached. I should note I do have issues interfacing with this display. While resolution is read by armbian correctly, the refresh rate is NOT. I use a capacitive touch display that can support 1200x600@60hz. Armbian attempts to use only 75hz which does not play nice. I have attempted to…

Hello together, i experienced network problems with Helios64 and latest Debian Buster Image. I cannot setup a static ip address after installation of OMV5, moreover it crashes on install.

After the crash OMV is in fact available, but the network configuration is broken and a static setup doesnt work over the OMV UI, nor armbian-config, also the boot takes about 2-5 minutes due to whatever reason. armbianmonitor http://ix.io/2PPJ

HI all I just received my Helios64 and built it this weekend. I followed the instruction and everything was going well. After installing OMV i tried to access it via the network and realised that my unit wasnt connecting over lan. I have tried both ports on the back and i am unable to connect just get the flashing orange light (no green light). I have tried using different cable and different ports on the router, a network restart, system restart but noting. If anyone can offer a suggestion of what else to try it would be appreciated.

Hello all, After some time without touching it, I came back to my Rockpi 4B. I installed the latest armbian bionic image on a samsung 64Go card. All seems to work fine for the first boot. But when I try to restart the system I don't get any display on screen. To get it back I need to unplug HDMI plug and re-plug it. Didn't found any conversation about that trouble? Is it a bug or is there something I can do to fix it ? Thanks for your answers. Pat

Hi all, unfortunately the USB power port on my Nanopi has broken off and I can't see a way to reattach it - it looks like it's just a push fit onto the board on 4 little tabs no solder involved no wonder it eventually fell off. I've heard that it's possible to power the Nano via the GPIO pins - anyone here done that ? I'm thinking I could make a cable to connect to the pins

I get Kernel Panics when i do a reboot of the device with the reboot command. I don't get any Panics, when doing a normal boot of the System by powering it. The Panics don't occur on Manjaro. Updating the kernel to 6.1, did nothing for me and the Panic messages are always different and occur at different points of the Boot process. The System runs stable for days, when it boots. I don't have any clues what is going on hear, but i it seems that the device and sdcards aren't broken.

Hello, I installed OMV on my Helios64 and created a share. The device stays online and works well for hours and then at some point eth0 goes offline and no longer communicates. The only way to restore connectivity is with a reboot. I looked at the logs and dont see anything jumping out at me as to why this happens but I could very easily be missing something or the log didnt capture the event. I have not yet tried to console in through the USBc port when this occurs but will try next time. Has anyone else seen this issue or fixed it?

Hey there, for quite a while I was using my Station P1 aka T-Firefly ROC-RK3399-PC-PLUS (with a nice case welded around) as crude NAS and wanted to do something new. However for unknown reason I cannot boot from microSD. I am used to that the Armbian boot loader should switch to microSD when detected so other OS can be used. Does not work though. It always starts booting from SPI which is fine in theory and then jumps to eMMC which boots fine. With SD inside it does the same. If I remove the eMMC module u-boot stucks to PXE which obviously fails and then drops to U-Boot shell. I played with that shell for a while including recovery…

I understand that this problem is not related to armbian. I tries asking NexDock but they don't know how to make it. So, I just wonder anybody knows how to let armbian on Rock PI4B work with NexDock 360's keyboard ? I know when using Raspberry PI, I can add a line dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host to /boot/config.txt. But when using armbian, there is no config.txt in /boot. Thanks.

Can someone please help me understand how Armbian for Rock64 is developed? In the past, there was an image for the Rock64 that was a server image, not a desktop image. Now, I see Ubuntu and a Debian Stretch desktop images, no server image. Is there a plan to build a server image going forward? Also, will a newer kernel be built at some point? Not trying to stir the pot or cause trouble, just trying to understand where the Rock64 support is going in the future. Thank you for all the spectacular work the Armbian team does.

Hi all. i got Armbian for luckfox, compiled by builder, and also tried downloaded img binaries. but cannot find clear and complete instruction how to write thtat img to eMMC and for SDCard . what tools and steps should be used for get Armbian img boots and works on that board. thanks in advance PS. BigTreetech CB2 same problem - no clear info about flash eMMC and SDCard.

There seems to be some issue with the very early bootup on the rockpi-S using the dev or current target (not the 4.4 kernel) It hangs and requires a reboot, something like every 4th bootup works. I have a bunch of logs with various errors like: Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: add_uevent_var+0x12c/0x130 [ccff800010110d58] address between user and kernel address ranges Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: vsnprintf+0x724/0x728 This usually happens about 2.7 - 2.8 seconds into bootup. I have been building from source with a custom config and this (or something similar) and I believe 5.4 w…

Hi together, iam realy desperate and hope someone can help me with my problem. I think something crashed while I disconnected the USB-Cable in U-Boot Mode with helios64. Now Iam not able to see my m.2 SATA SSD in U-Boot Mode as USB Storage in my PC. I use the U-Boot mode from a SD-Card with a boot image. When I start some armbian System from SD-Card the m.2 SSD is visible and ready to use. I dont know what kind of logs do you need for my Problem. Sorry for that. :-( The only thing I want to do is to use my SATA m.2 SSD as armbian system drive with OpenMediaVault again. best regards sommer11 Infos to my device: https:…

I have been trying to compile some packages that do work on the x86 platform and versions of Ubuntu and Debian but it seems like this define is missing so the program in question cannot compile a specific syscall in the file. Is SYS_getdents defined in the standard location unistd.h? I looked at the header but had some difficulties working through some of the defines. Thanks, Carter.

Hi, I am testing mesa panfrost on RK3399 and I am facing an odd problem. When joint the chroot as root I get mesa working but if I join as pi, the user, I cant get it working and I've receive just a soft render (llvmpipe) How this could be fixed?? any experience??

EDIT: I hate to have to admit this, but I completely forgot that the nanopi m4 v2 needs external antennas for its wifi to operate properly. (I bought just before the coronavirus hit, and it was several weeks before I got back to setting up the board. First board I've had that needs that.)

I have a weird issue where I have everything working as I want it a few different services running in docker (Pi-Hole, Motioneye, Home Assistant, Emby) and all their individual management pages are accessible. However as soon as i move the install over to emmc, all networking seems to break, with services no longer working, but some admin pages report everything is fine. Pi-Hole for example shows as running but no devices accessing the dns cant load webpages and the pi-hole management pages stop showing any further queries received. ive repeated the process of doing a clean install to sd , everything fine. move to emmc stops working ☹️

On the LTS version of this board, there is no other chance than to run the vendor-rk35xx kernel if you want to see something on a screen. I noticed strange behaviour when this SBC was attached to a 2k QHD screen with the latest vendor kernel. Display size was limited to FullHD instead QHD and Firefox were crashing. When I switched from desktop to terminal I saw the top left corner of the QHD terminal cut to the size of FullHD which was quite a problem because I could not see what I was writing. Today I tried kernel downgrade from 6.1.75 to 6.1.43-vendor-rk35xx and now I can see QHD on QHD and the Firefox stopped crashing. Hopefully, they will patch the ke…

Hello, I try to use armbian image on SD card for my nanopi r6c, it is without emmc, can only boot with SD card. However, armbian can't boot correctly. It stop at pre-mount while booting up, please refer to attached screenshot. I tried the images that can download from armbian web site and build armbians image with my PC, none of them can work, all are same issue, but Dietpi image for r6c can boot successfully.

I don't know if this is the right subforum for this question. Would Armbian be possible for the PineTab2?

Hello, I received recently an Helios64 from a new friend, However, when I get home, I plug it in, turn it on (already I have to press the power button for 4 seconds to get some life) and I get the following LEDs lit up: - LED1 - LED2 - LED3 - LED5 - LED6 i got nothing on the serial line (tested on MacOS and Windows), and no reaction when I do quick and long press on Recovery nor Reset. Is there some electronic schematic that could help me to debug hardware or procedure to get JTAG access to the RK3399 ? Regards,

The images Debian Bookworm "Minimal/IOT images with Armbian Linux v6.12" generate what I understand is bad partition information. Once flashed to the SD card, the partition won't be recognised by Linux hinted by the message "couldn't find valid filesystem superblock", therefore they can't be mounted. The desktop image is fine though and the partitions generated after flashing into the SD card are recognised by the "disks" application. I've also tried with the Ubuntu-rockchip image which also generates correct/mountable partition information. I've tested this for the minimal images for OrangePi Max as well as OrangePi 5 Plus. The images were flashed with…

Hello, I have been able to boot the offical debian image recommend for the rock pi 5b from a NVME SSD. This is after updating the SPI using the windows software. I now cant seem to get armbian to boot from NVME or SD card. I have serial access to the Rock 5b and get the following see attached. Anyone able to point me in the correct direction. I think i need to flash the rock pi so it boots from SD once more. Thanks Matt Rock 5b Armbian fail.txt

When plugging in a RTL8153 gigabit ethernet adaptor, it shows up when using lsusb, however there is no driver found for it. I also went to the Realtek website and tried to compile the proper drivers for it, however, the Make process always fails. Do you have any suggestions as to how to get this to work? The adaptor says it is supported on the Armbian website. Thanks!

Hello, I have a rockpi4 whit armbian 20.08.0-trunk.68 nightly (based on debian buster), I have managed to configure all the system whit out problems and I will admit it's of my liking, but there is a problem I cannot solve whit the headphones. So, the headphone port is detected by pulseaudio, once the hdmi audio is turned off in the configuration the software indicates that the sound is being outputted through the headphones, but it is not, not even garbage sound comes out. I have also tried vanilla debian in the board and the headphones worked perfectly, but whit debian some garbage sound came out even when there was nothing reproducing, witch makes me suspect the headph…

Hi! I am working on a project in which audio is transmitted over the I2S bus to TAS6424-Q1 chips. I am using the Radxa Rock S0 board, the latest stable Armbinan 6.6 kernel and an additionally compiled dummy-codec module. 1. If I use the following overlay // Definitions for 8-ch-output /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "radxa,rockpis", "rockchip,rk3308"; fragment@0 { target = <&i2s_8ch_0>; __overlay__ { #sound-dai-cells = <0>; rockchip,clk-trm = <1>; status = "okay"; }; …

Hello everybody ! I'm a newbie RK3288 and Miqi board. When using this board I'm get a idea "Why bring all firmware on SD card into eMMC", because Miqi board will run faster than using SD Card. But, I haven't found any guide to solve this. So, I hope you can help me. Thank for your reading TonyHCM.

I once had openmediavault (nas software) and citadel-server (groupware software) running together on an x86 computer with Debian operating system. When I try this on Helios64 running armbian (Debian 10 Buster) and kernel 5.8, then the package manager does not allow it. That means, when I start with an installed openmediavault and want then to install citadel-server as well the package manager removes openmediavault first. Does anybody have an idea or a solution to the problem?

I just bought a FriendlyElec NanoPi Neo4 having had loads of experience with Armbian on Allwinner (OrangePi) boards. My preferred method for getting boards "up and running" is simply to connect a serial terminal to the debug port and power on. I tried this with several Armbian Buster images and found that I couldn't log in as root on any of them. Checking the SD card on my laptop, the debug port (ttyFIQ0) was missing from /etc/securetty. Editing /etc/securetty and adding ttyFIQ0 on a new line at the bottom of the file and all is well and I now have Buster up and running on the Neo4 :-) root@nanopineo4:/etc# diff securetty~ s…

Hello! First of all I want to thank everyone in Armbian for making OS that works, I am testing Armbian Jammy 23.2.7 Cinamon Desktop and so far it is much better than ones from FE. My intentions are using R6C as Home Assistant server (that works), NAS, Kodi Multimedia player with audio passthrough. But important question this time is how correctly to transfer OS from 32Gb SD card to built in 32Gb eMMC memory? I was trying several times sudo nand-sata-install method, but every time while "Cleaning up ... Almost done." it finishes with error: Error while creating U-Boot loader image with mkimage grep: /mnt/nand-sata-install.YRXC4e/bootf…

Greetings! Is there a way to permanently increase USBFS size in Armbian?

I saw the official document of NEO4 that FriendlyDesktop had full hardware acceleration support, including video decoder, opengl, built-in Chromium browser, etc. So does this ARMBIAN NEO4 have the same complete hardware acceleration support?

I have the newest Armbian 28.08.0-trunk image running on a NanoPi R6C with a 4TB NVMe SSD. The NanoPi is only connected to power and 1G ethernet via the 1G WAN port. When using the machine as NAS with Samba and a Windows client connected there is a strange problem when receiving large files. The files are stored on the NVMe SSD with ~450MB/s read/write via PCIe 2.1x1. When transmitting files from the NanoPi to a SMB client the 1G ethernet is maxed out but when receiving files the connection drops down to ~60 MB/s every few seconds. This instantly gets fixed when using the 2.5G LAN port instead of the 1G WAN port. On that po…

Hello everybody, im experiencing a similar problem. Sometimes my WD RED 12 TB HDD is not recognized in that slot its in, when i change it to any other it works again.

At least for legacy kernels, it possible to use Radxa's overlay for the 25W PoE hat.

After 2+ years of hard work the fan of my M4V2 (in metal case with NVMe adapter) has stopped with specific burning smell. I ordered the same fan model (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003989901083.html), replaced it and there is no rotation at all. Fan has been controlled by bash script from here: Has anybody got the same story? How it has resolved? My suspicions are on NVMe adapter, through which fan is powered - some draft scheme can be found, showing 5V/12V convertor and P-MOS switch: https://wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/index.php/NVME_SSD_Adapter_for_M4 SBC in this case works well w/o fan (~45 degrees of Celsius) during winter, but …

Hi. I'm new here and have a small issue. Situation is: I'm using the T4 board for an amateur radio repeater controller. The repeater works in an unmanned relay station 10 kilometers from the my home. To have access by remote even if the boot hangs for some reasons (maintenance mode), I have connected the debug uart (ttyS2) to a serial-to-IP adapter to have access anyway. Because the IP adapter cannot set up to 1.5 MBps, I have reduced the speed down to 115 kbps by changing the kernel argument in the boot.cmd from console=ttyS2,1500000 to console=ttyS2,115200. That worked well with the Armbian 5.69 stretch 4.4.167 kernel. Now I have made…
