Dear all , I would suggest everyone to share his experience with M.2 SSD recognizable by NanoPC-T4 . From internet I found that these models should work: LITEON T10 120GB SSD Samsung MZ-V7E2T0BW SSD 970 EVO From my personal experience: "shorty" Toshiba KBG30ZMS256GA is not recognized by T...

Yes, I know that zRAM is available by default. But how can I configure this?

By editing /etc/default/armbian-zram-config

Because my nanoPi NEO has only 256 MB RAM, I want to create compressed ramdisk uzing zRAM feature (not for SWAP). It is possible as I know in Ubuntu but how can I do it on Xenial taken from Friendly Elec ?

This comes with Armbian by default.

Hello FriendlyElec,

maybe any response? Ideas? Tipps?

Perhaps try https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-fire3/
It comes with more recent kernel and many additional fixes.

Hi, I have tried the out the old kernel you mentioned. In this case g_ether is also missing according to modproble. Is there a manual way to add g_ether? I did not find g_ether mentioned in the Armbian documentation. Armbian documentation does not cover all possible kernel related functions. For th...

from that statement it would seem "All non-armbian users are wrong." ...well....thanks anyway.... Undo my relation to Armbian and think, explore and make your own conclusion based on science, facts. There was a lot of research on this topic and if you would invest some time to find that, ...

MIPI camera support should also work since we use the same kernel (default images) with a few fixes. it's not working, since RkISP and both camera sensor drivers, which can be used with NanoPi T/M/Neo 4 (ov13xx and ov46xx) disabled by default. (so user need to recompile kernel). the bigger problem ...

Nope. It doesn't. Debian packages update is irrelevant.

It's demo/proof of concept image and (Dietpi) is a rebranding (with some user space mods) of the same creation. Without any low level change.

Yes, you have all rights to be wrong

Update: Just a final test before actually giving up, I did try to install UbuntuCore from the Friendly Elec software download section and after installing checked the max CPU freq using lscpu ~# lscpu Architecture: aarch64 Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 4 On-line CPU(s) list: 0-3 Thread(s) per c...

Armbian supports Docker OOB.

Wifi works on M4 and MIPI camera support should also work since we use the same kernel (default images) with a few fixes.

Does the NanoPi NEO support DHT22 temperature-humidity sensor connected via 1wire bus?

Thank you.

OK. But I have no choice. Just 120 measuring units with FriendlyElec Linux distro on it. No way to change to another distro. Why?

OK, thank you for these links. I actually tried 4.19.20, but g_ether did not work. Does it matter if I use bionic or stretch download.

So is it worth waiting for a "non-amateur solution"? Stable and fast core for this chip / board. Yes. As I understand it, the RK3399 is not bad at all, on its basis almost all manufacturers have made ready-made boards. And the board (M4) in the Raspbery factor is generally an ingenious de...

Thanks for sharing your recommendation. Armbian looks like a nice project. I'll keep an eye on it. For now, it looks as if the image for this platform is not up to the point where I can use it. Hardware support (particularly gpu-side) seems to be behind the friendlydesktop image. Most of people beh...

1. The armbian image is a work in progress and thus not fully supported. 2. It is based on a similarly out of date kernel. Armbian has higher standards and takes word support seriously. Since kernel features for this platform are not fully done, builds have a label "testing". In Armbian s...
