Hello, I'm using a orangepi pc with armbian and I want to boot (automatically if possible) from the usb flash drive where I flashed batoceda. Is it possible? And if so, would you have step by step? Thanks a lot.

Hello everyone Friends, maybe someone will give clear instructions on how to download armbian from an external ssd on the khadas vim2 board? Now I have armbian installed in emc and ubuntu images created by the developer khadas are loaded without problems. But I can't get armbian to work with ssd in any way. I will be grateful for any help!

On my NanoPi Neo Core, the flash has the following partitions: Most of the drives I've encountered have the starting sector set as 2048, while this one has 49152. I'm assuming that U-Boot reside before the 49152th sector. How can I see what is below 49152th sector in the partition table?

Hallo liebe Community, ich versuche, da es kein aktuelles jammy release für meinen M1 gibt, eines mit Ubuntu zu erstellen. So wie es in der Dokumentation beschrieben ist. Allerdings kommt immer wieder ein abbruch: ERROR in function install_deb_chroot Und dann wird der Prozess terminiert. Warum funktioniert das denn nicht?

Hi! I installed an Armbian 22.11 Jammy XFCE on my Orange Pi One device and would like using wifi+bluetooth USB stick with rtl8821cu chipset.

Hi Guys, My Orange Pi Zero LTS H5 had a short circuit and no longer power up. worst that it seems that i cannot find any replacement for it as market is full of H2 & H3 variants but non is H5. Perhaps its time to upgrade Armbian & Hardware by inserting the SD card in one of the below boards: - Orange Pi Zero 2 1GB RAM with Allwinner H616 - Orange Pi R1 Plus LTS 1GB RAM RK3328 -Nanopi NEO3 Mini RK3328 (though not Orange pi but seems very similar) Though i'm not sure OS would boot on different CPU / board, (i remember doing such upgrade from h3 to 5h or zero 2 to lts) I would like to avoid re-building the OS w…

First off this is not a Rockpro64 it is a Rock64 Ver. 2 which the tags field would not let me enter. A couple years ago when I first started playing with the Rock64, I briefly used armbian as the OS. The flickering video was annoying so later I tried Manjaro which worked fairly well. Recently the (Manjaro/Arch) updates (as well as latest images) completely break the HDMI output. Since the system was rendered usless, I downloaded the latest Armbian Jammy hoping for better results. The image loaded from SD fine, I did updates manually fine, and it rebooted fine. The only problem I experience is that that anoying HDMI video flicker. It's worse when there is any s…

I am going to have to type a lot of words which I have no idea what they mean.... but here goes. I have bought an Orange Pi 4 LTS and the official touchscreen which goes with it. This connects via a flat ribbon cable into what is called port LCD1. I believe it is MIPI - although have no idea what that means. The screen works perfectly, but is in portrait. I can rotate the screen to landscape with randr or in the gui, but the touch doesn't rotate with it. I tried using xinput (which wasn't installed) and xinput calibrate as well, but neither did anything. I believe that the screen was installed by adding a line in a file cal…

What is the recommended way to back up a user's *.img? I ask b/c I crashed the OS (Debian 11 Xfce) after a number of hours by upgrading via Synaptic -- don't know which of the upgrade group did the damage. It was a major pain to go back through everything I had done. I tried the very nice script "image-backup" from the image-utils developed by user RonR on the RPi Forum, but it complains about the wrong Partition config. Is there a method that is known to work? TIA

Hello, I want to transfer .img files to bananapi. These weight gigabytes. I notice the eth0 interface was wrongly set up to 100Mbp/s I used ethtool to set it up correctly pi@Liberty:~$ sudo ethtool eth0 | grep -i speed Speed: 100Mb/s sudo ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on speed 1000 duplex full pi@Liberty:~$ sudo ethtool eth0 | grep -i speed Speed: 1000Mb/s Now I thought the sftp limitation of 1Mb/s was over, it is not. Are there ucap / bandwith limitation settings in Armbian? if so how to remove it? Thanks, SoSie

Good morning, Since last week I do not manage to compile armbian anymore. I checked out commit c1cfd6059bac4ced7f4901e19acc017d1e92d8ba on repo https://github.com/armbian/build.git and launched the following command : compile.sh docker USE_MAINLINE_GOOGLE_MIRROR=yes BOARD=orangepizero BRANCH=current BUILD_KSRC=no RELEASE=bullseye BUILD_DESKTO P=no BUILD_MINIMAL=yes KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no ROOTFS_TYPE=ext4 BOOTFS_TYPE=fat COMPRESS_OUTPUTIMAGE=sha,img I always get the 'htop' error: E: Failed to fetch http://armbian.systemonachip.net/apt/pool/bullseye-utils/h/htop/htop_3.1.0-0~armbian20.08.2+1_armhf.deb 404 Not Found [IP: …

Hello, I'm turning my head around this problem, I have read numerous forum posts and docs but I didn't found an answer: Following https://linux-sunxi.org/GPIO, the same pin number calculation applies for sysfs and gpiod. But, for example, for PL2 it will be 11*32+2=354, or for opi3 lts there are only 255 line numbers for gpiochip1 (as per `gpioinfo gpiochip1`) :-S Pleeease tell me what am I missing !?!

Hello! I`m very new on how SBC`s work, and wanna know if there`s some way to fix this situation: My audio is not actually being reproduced via the HDMI connection between my TV and my Orange Pi [Orange Pi 4 LTS]. I took a brief look at the solutions/instructions on the documentation page ((https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Fine-Tuning/#sound-output)), such as: # Check the available sound output options: pacmd list-sinks | less # The default will be marked with "*" # Press "q" to close # Define the new default sound output pacmd set-default-sink <NAME-OF-DESIRED-OPTION> but i only got this, and as far as i could test…

Hi I want to modify base armbian image using choot in order to install necessary software. I am also creating user during that process. My question is how can I skip or prefill the form that appears on first run? (user creation, time zone setting etc.) I was surfing the forum and found this answer. So, I came up with few options: 1) It looks like I can prefill my desired values for the form in "/usr/lib/armbian/armbian_firstlogin" file by editing it during chroot 2) I can remove user input parts in "/usr/lib/armbian/armbian_firstlogin", but preserve other important lines, since user will be created during chroot Is this valid options or there …

https://armbian.lv.auroradev.org/apt/pool/bullseye-utils/h/htop/ Nothing there. Just running basic ... apt-get update && apt-get upgrade ... upon initial install, and it fails with "failed to fetch" (404) from whatever apt.armbian.com mirror it selects (of 2 or 3 observed). Held it back with apt-mark, removed it, and built from source using deb-src. Doesn't seem to be any problems or issues running htop built from deb-src, so, not sure why its needed in the Armbian source repositories ???

From the posts that I've read i think i have made the terrible mistake of updating the software via command. It was kinda slow so I did reboot command and the board since than won't start. I've bought the uart adapter and the boot process is as follows: https://pastebin.com/Pz1xb5jc Can i get support?

I was trying to install armbian on an ssd on my orange pi5, and when I ran the armbian-config program I saw that the firmware was frozen. I chose to unfreeze it, but I think should not have done that. Can I reinstall the frozen firmware packages and then hold those packages again? If so, how? Thanks.

Hello, I am trying to make a acces point so when the orange pi has no internet i can still connect to the acces point and acces a python server that is running in a docker container on it. I managed to set-up the “hotspot” in the configuration, but once I take out the ethernet cable I cant view the site anymore from my phone that is connected to the orange pi hotspot. What can I do to make this work? https://imgur.com/a/5lecbHX

Hello, starting at Level 0 here. guess I'm just looking for a point in the right direction. want to learn how to install updates. (the short version) the long version is, I spent several hours learning I was burning armbian for my brand new libre H5 onto a Sandisk Xc V2 (oops) to re-read the instructions for the I don't know howmanith time before I noticed the detail about v2 cards are having a hard time being supported. Finally it is up and running I'm happy to say I'm currently using it which is a step in the right direction, but as I am using it to look up youtube videos to update firefox I realize I don't have audio so now I'm down a different path trying …

Hi. Armbian 21.02.1 / 5.15.74-sunxi (22.08.6 SMP) / Debian 11.5 is working flawlessly on my cubietruck for several days, and then just hangs. I've studied the armbian-hardware-monitor.log, systemlog, run a 2-minute periodic cron to watch the temperature, and even added a serial comsole in an attempt to find out what might be the cause. I have not seen any weird indications in these logs. Temperature stays between 37 and 45 degrees. When the system hangs, there are no error messages on the consoles or via the serial comm. Pings are unresponded then, and magic sysrq won't work then. Armbian is run on a sata harddisk, there are some harddisks attached via an USB hub too but …

If I understand the custom-image script is run as a chroot after the image is built. So didn't see anything specifically in the docs but can I ONLY run (from compile script) the custom image script on an already already built image (in /output/images)? Along the same lines can I chroot at any time to the image via the compile script? I should mention that I am using the docker container build for arm on my amd machine. (i.e. ./compile.sh docker.... )

I wanted to build the cli version but didn't see an obvious way to do that with conf variables and the docs don't illuminate that choice. so I tried BUILD_MINIMAL=no BUILD_DESKTOP=no and that seems to do force the cli version. Just suggesting that this might be easier to grok if the variable was say BUILD_TYPE=(desktop|cli|minimal|custom) with maybe default cli where custom might be a rootfs that is custom (like one I put together) and thus doesn't need to be reconstructed from the custom-image script. Maybe setting custom then RELEASE could hold the path to the tarball? If that seems better mayb…

Hello everyone, I was going to purchase Rock Pi 4 model B+ (with WiFi/BT and eMMC chip). I see that Rock Pi 4 family is supported by Armbian (https://www.armbian.com/rockpi4/), however, there is no mention of models A+ and B+. There are just A, B and C+. Could you please confirm/refute that Rock Pi 4 B+ is supported by Armbian and point me to the image for that model?

armbian-config has a way to update the kernel within a major version but can one upgrade from 5.15 to 6.1 (current/edge). I assume if not then I have to build my own image? What I am after is jammy or bullseye with 6.1 kernel to support some hardware not supported in 5.15. I know the rolling releases (Lunar/Sid) have this kernel but I need a LTS release with 6.1.

Hello, i have an Issue with my Touchscreen on my Banana Pi running Armbian Bullseye. The colors are not correct ... everything shows with a ?brown / red? touch and the Position are not correct ...

im using orange pi with armbian and i try to rotate display by seeting in boot/armbianEvt.txt fbcon=rotate:3 it only rotate the console message. but when i run startx (startx installed via sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends xserver-xorg x11-xserver-utils xinit openbox ) is still default mode not rotated It makes me angry to know that i have achieved it without any difficulty with a RaspberryPi 3 simply by adding display_rotate = X in /boot/config.txt and that there is no way for Armbian.

Hi, I have a few Orange Pi PC Plus using Armbian bulldog and have two questions / issues. its my 1st post and not sure where best to ask 1.

Hi everyone! I'm software developer but have no (or little) clue about electronics & electricity, and would like to dive into the SBC world. I still don't have a goal other than have fun and support this community during my free time. I probably need to buy some devices (my budget is limited): A voltmeter A soldering station. Which filler material is more appopriate? An USB-to-TTL adapter to debug the serial output. Specs? Last but not least: an SBC! Which one is good but currently lacks support from this community? Something else? Thank you for your advices!

Hello, I'd have a question, please. My goal is to setup the VNC server on Pine64 board to be able to connect to it remotely via RealVNC.

Hi, I'd really like to set up an affordable pi hole on my new network. I think I have it narrowed down to three choices, but I'm not sure which to select.

I am currently attempting to compile a device tree overlay, in connection with an OPi Zero 2. But my questions here are of rather general nature (with regards to DT compiling), so I posted it here. ------- Goal: Creating a DT overlay to enable certain hardware currently not working on the board: wifi and HDMI output. Alternatively, compiling a "full" .dtb file for the board, replacing the one currently used during boot.

I am attempting to format and mount a 256GB MicroSD as an external USB device on an OPZ.

Hi, Need to interface a multichannel codec to an OPiPC, having 8 channels out and 6 channels in. So trying to find any example of an overlay for H3 with TDM usage on simple-audio-card giving more than 2 channels in/out.

Test version 20221216-legacy for rk3399 (Station P1). The kernel 5.10.11 is used instead of 4.4. Some of the functions are not working yet. Switching to this version will get rid of a very outdated version of the BSP 4.4 kernel.

Anything involved with screen blanking /MUST/ be removed or disabled, on the bpim5, and it exists in so many places it took me 2 days of poking around to stop the no recovery except reboot if un-used for more than 15 minutes regardless of what it happens to be running at the time. When a blanker kicks in, the monitor powers down and the bpim5 goes inactive with only the red pwr led on steady, and nothing wakes it up except the reset button. These things use so little power that it doesn't bither me a bot to leave them running. I have an rpi4b running a big metal lathe that works as intended, with uptimes in years, this should be the same. It w…

Hi! I need to use the UART1 port on my NanoPi NEO. This usually means just adding "uart1" to the `overlays` in `/boot/armbianEnv.txt`.

The project is a module to generate weird and wonderful drone music/sounds (example here) Because of the fact that it's nearly impossible to got hold of the Raspberry PI Zero 2W, I want to "port" the project to an alternative and available board with the same footprint and pinout; the BPI M2 Zero would be perfect. I have quite a challenge though; See image: The exact setup below with an Raspberry PI Zero 2W (O/S: Bullseye 11) and the install procedure described here, runs absolutely fine --- but now I want this setup to run on the BPI M2 Zero (O/S: "Armbian_20.05.1_Ba…

Hello, is there an armbian available for Tinkerboard 2 (RK3399)? Mainly I need to setup a headless system with working i2c, pwm and gpio . Thanks!

When i run from sdcard on first boot it asks a series of questions and sets up the sd card. Image from here: https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-4-lts/ I then run ambian-install to install to emmc, then reboot. At this point it asks for a login, and the default (root 1245) doesnt work, or the ones i created on the sd card do not work! How can i login to the device after install and configure it?

I have a Banana Pi mk1 that I'm trying to add a usb wifi adapter to so it can run klipper wirelessly. I'm still relatively new to linux and I'm having trouble getting it set up. "lsusb" shows that the wifi dongle is connected and is reading, and I copied the appropriate .bin file to /lib/firmware/mediatek. I can't get NetworkManger to show any wireless devices and I'm stuck. I've tried "nmcli device show" and it will only display my ethernet connection.

I am new to arm devices. I'm trying to build a fully working armbian system for the pcduino8-uno which uses the Allwinner a83t/h8 soc. I know these are not the best, but I got it from amazon for $18 and it runs home assistant very well. I built a new u-boot which appears to initialize the hardware properly as it sees all the usb port as well as obtains an ip from my dhcp server. Using sun8i-a83t-allwinner-h8homlet-v2 as my starting point.. I built a new kernel from 6.1.0-rc6. Everything seems to work properly except the ethernet controller. I can use a usb ethernet dongle, but I would like to get the onboard working Dmesg shows " [ 1.59462…

- To my surprice I was able to upgrade odroid-n2+ to kernel 6.0.10 on a debian bookworm install. Had previously tried to compile kernel 6.0.9 and 6.0.10 from kernel.org and also through the armbian build with no success. The 6.0.9 and 6.0.10 from kernel.org did work but did both lack wifi connections - did try many dongle without success.

Hi, I try to connect a tft 240x240 display via SPI with my BPI m2zero and i am looking for a suitable library written in C. The display uses ST7789 driver and it will be used in combination with thermal camera. I've tried to use producers library for RPi https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/1.54inch_LCD_Module but the screen only blinks when i run a program with test bitmap. I tested it on Arduino and the display works fine. If someone was able to run such a display, can you share your library? Thanks for all the help

Hallo, Ich habe noch ein Tinkerboard rumfliegen, welches für Office-Anwendungen reichen sollte. Ich suche jetzt schon seit einiger Zeit ein OS dafür, bisher habe ich leider aber noch nichts derartiges gefunden. Vielleicht kennt ja jemand ein entsprechendes Image oder hat Tips wie ich es selbst erstellen könnte Ich bin allerdings bestenfalls Beginner mt Debian- Schon mal vielen Dank

Maybe someone will be interested in it. https://bbs.stationpc.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=343&extra=page%3D1%26filter%3Dauthor%26orderby%3Dlastpost The uniqueness of this model is in the mechanism of a very simple installation of a standard SATA SSD drive. p.s. According to information from one client who uses this equipment in serious industrial operation - P2 worked without problems for many days with a full load (24\7) in harsh conditions without failures and failures, at the same time, they tried to use R4S, which froze and turned off after 20 hours.

Hi, I'm trying to use ZFS but the kernel I'd like to use doesn't support loadable modules. The version is 22.08.4 at the moment (5.10.147) Can I use zfs-dkms on linux-image-current-meson64? And I'm curious why loadable modules are not supported by default for linux-image-current-meson64, is it same with every model? or probably Odroid-HC4 is one of the models in which loadable modules are not build by default? System diagnosis information: https://paste.armbian.com/ezisijedob Thank you, Gunwoo Gim

I have an Orangepi PC with OS: Armbian_19.11.6_Orangepipc_buster_current_5.4.8_desktop... I'm trying to communicate hardware through the UART1 ports (GPIO198 and GPIO199, respectively pins 8 and 10), but I'm not able to enable the ports, I've tried modify the file "un8i-h3-orangepi-pc-plus.dtb" but I couldn't, I also tried the solution proposed in this topic: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/1524-orange-pi-one-how-to-enable-uart/ but I couldn't find the script.bin file in the boot folder... I also tried using Minicom, and the message Offline appears. I need to activate UART1 and configure it with 19200,8,1,N. Any tips?

I am trying to build an old debian stretch image for checking my BananaPi M3 boards. I had it and Jessie running fine for years, but buster is causing issues with soft boot and reboots failing. So wanted to check the boards integrity with stretch. I have tried git checkout -b v20.02 remotes/origin/v20.02 which I thought was around the right time but I am just getting Buster being offered. I am using Ububtu Jammy for building.

The /sbin/armbian-install script that ships in Armbian_22.08.7_Odroidn2_bullseye_current_5.19.17_minimal.img.xz has a couple of faulty lsblk arguments that cause it to exit instead of allowing the user to select the installation target partition. The script works properly after both instances of the string MOUNTPOINTS are changed to MOUNTPOINT which is easily done with sed -ie s/MOUNTPOINTS/MOUNTPOINT/ /sbin/armbian-install

I would like to make myself more familiar with the early linx boot process on ARM (u-boot, device trees and co.) and my idea was that I will start tweaking with something which actually works. I tried to figure out how to obtain the source package for u-boot (in my case for linux-u-boot-orangepi3-lts-current) but the armbian package repository seem to contain obly binaries. Any idea wherethe source packages for this binaries are located (e.g. what deb-src line do I need to add to the armbian.list to make "apt-get source" to work)?

does anyone know of a version of armbian that would work on a samsung galaxy book go with a snapdragon 7c gen2? i traid the generic version and it booted to the grub, and then it restarted like all other distros i've tried. i can not find a distro to boot on this dang thing. anyone have any ideas on what to do or try? i've hit a dead end i gotta dig deeper to figure something out, so any thoughts on this would be helpful .. thanks in advance

I used https://github.com/piter75/armbian-build for building images via vm-kvm for my Orange servers. Now I want compile application hostapd with forcing 40MHz, but I don't want build/compile it on orange pi servers. Is possible use environment armbian-build for building mentioned application? Or some docker container with armbian in which I can mentioned application to compile?

I am able to rebuild the kernel for this board and the image runs fine, but it appears that is does not support the UART on the GPIO. Does anyone know which kernel files need to be modified for this? It looks like its one of the .fex files in the pack-uboot folder. But there are multiple folders in that folder with multiple .fex files that all reference the uart. (sun50iw6/sun50iw9). How can I tell which .fex file the build is using? Thanks for any help, -Rich

Hi, I want to make my orange pi 3 lts work in a similar way to the way Wifi manager works on esp8266 projects The idea being that if there is not a valid Wifi connection found then an AP is activated so a user can connect to a captive portal and enter the wifi ssid and password anc click connect. the pi then reboots and tries to connect. if that is successful then it works as normal if it is not then it reactivates the AP. I found various different partial solutions but none of which seem to work well with my setup. this might be either due to the orange pi or Armbian. The most promising i ahve foudn so far is https://github.com/b…

Hi, I'm interested in getting a compact ARM-based processor (something like a RPI or ASUS TinkerBoard) that can output a 2560x720 output resolution. The current available documentation seems quite sparce and Google searches are littered with people having problems with establishing their chosen video resolutions so I am sceptical! Any pointers would be gratefully received. Thank You, Dave

Hello everyone, Over the past year or so, I've been getting back to my utilite pro board that bought quite a while back. After asking a few things to Compulab, and figuring out some of the bad download links to get their latest resources, I could finally upgrade to their latest Ubuntu build, that was based on 12.04. So not so recent. I am not the most aware user when it comes to arm devices, but a page on the Debian wiki pointed out to running buster on the board. Then, I came across the armbian ecosystem, and thought, well, I'll give it a try. Kudos to the work done. This looks impressive. The past days I've been trying to co…

Hi! Have limited knowledge in linux, all self learned so bear with me if I sometimes sound like an i**ot in my wording. I have used lots of different Raspberry pi's but since they are near to impossible to get your hands on I figured I'd try out some of the alternate boards. Got myself a nanoPiNeo2, orangePiZero2 and an orangePiPC2 just for the fun of it. I have tried this on the nanoPi and the opiZero2 and run into the same problems, havent even opened the opiPC2 yet but I suspect it will be the same problem on that board. Downloaded armbian for each separate board (instead of debian) because I want to use the same system o…

Hi! After update to kernel 5.15.75 via apt upgrade, boot fails. Though I can flash an older image, I would prefer trying to recover existing setup and rollback to a previous kernel.

Hello, I have installed the Armbian image for Rock Pi S (https://www.armbian.com/rockpi-s/) released 19th of October 2022 on my Rock Pi S and it boots fine. However, if I update the linux kernel (using apt-get install linux-dtb-edge-rockchip64 linux-image-edge-rockchip64) this breaks the image and it will be stuck on starting kernel the next time I reboot. These packages are not installed automatically, but are listed as kept back. However, since they break the system they should maybe not be possible to install.

Dear guys, Recently i am trying to install Armbian on orange pi pc plus using Mobaxterm but for some reason after finishing the installation it shows only Armbian-config screen but not the GUI interface. I don't know if I installed it right or wrong. Hope everyone can help me because this is a subject project of mine in university. Thanks so much.

This is for those experiencing a similar issue on the Rock Pi 4B (possibly RK3399 in general) who don't have a fix yet. On Armbian Focal current for the Rock Pi 4B the sound from both HDMI and the audio jack stopped working and became undetectable to the system (Both Pulse-audio and ALSA couldn't detect anything except hdmi-sound and even then HDMI sound did not work). I fixed the issue by rolling back to the latest "current" kernel version in armbian-config (5.10.63-rockchip64). Now the system sound has gone back to normal.

Since 23 hours, 23 views, no reply's. So I have ordered a 4 pack of the latest 4gig bananna pi's, and would like to know: 1. if Armbian will work on them, and 2. If octoprint-1.8.6 can be installed in a python venv so I can get back to work on a room full of 3d FDM printers. off topic, I have been running an apt update at about 8 hour intervals on the rock64's but while error msgs are, or were displayed on the hdmi output, no xserver appears to be start-able, the hdmi display has now gone dark without its declaring a loss of signal so I have to assume it is generating a synch signal of some sort. I can ssh -Y into both f…

Hello Armbian community, I recently purchased a Odroid N2+ board and am trying different OS. I flashed Armbian_22.08.1_Odroidn2_jammy_current_5.10.139.img.xz on eMMC card. The first boot up works fine. I was prompted to set root password, new user credential and locals without any issue. I then used 'armbian-config' to navigate the different settings. In the system security menu, I applied the firmware update (that's what the menu called), I assume it runs apt update && apt upgrade. After completion, it prompts me to reboot. So I did. Then the Armbian cannot boot up anymore. I am using Odroid N2+ headless, so I can only see the board blue led not flashi…

Dear Members, I want to play around with docker on my NanoPI R4S, and while doing that I don't want to kill my micro SD card. For this reason I connected a USB SSD, formatted it with ext4 and mounted it onto /data. Now, I want /var to use /data/var as a bind mount, in order to lessen the burden on the SD card the system is running on. What is the right way to achieve this with Armbian? Thanks! Janos

I don't know how to explain this, so I start with my hardware: Two Odroid HC1. I love swapping Kernels, default was 5.4.199 but that was "too old" because I like it bleeding edge. Did upgrade both to 5.17.5 and it works like a charm! Really good performance and some errors from dmesg disappeared too! However the problems did not wait for long: Kernel 5.19.x broke fstrim commands on my SATA drives so I rolled back, everything was good on 5.17.5 again. My logs showed TRIM was supported and running again, cheers! Now to the actual problem at hand and this might be my own doing. I froze the upgrades in armbian-config. Thinking this would prevent upgrading to the n…

Good afternoon! Tell me about the case, please, the post is great, but maybe I'm initially going the wrong way. Initial task: data exchange between a remote server and equipment with a USB interface and CDC RS-232 or HID protocols. Putting a computer / laptop next to it is not an option. I did not find any ready-made solutions, there are only options: 1. Single board computer. Fast, cheap, angry, easy to make a case and PoE power from ready-made components on the market. 2. Arduino - to assemble from prototyping boards is long, difficult and expensive. To develop something of my own - the navel will be untied with my knowledge. 3. Hardware "e…
