FA-Forum

On most questions, I can't answer since I am not related to FA. Beware a few things. Software and hardware development is sometimes happening in the real-time (because "we want them now" is already too late). This means things were just designed and the first prototype was made and the inf...

1. Initial RK3399 and FA support are decent and you have www.armbian.com Linux for SBCs and a strong community around the project.

Hi, I'm using my T4 as servers. I would like to have them turn back on after they lost power so I dont have to turn them on after a power lost (happened twice this week...). Is there a way to set that ? Cheers It is written in the wiki but I didn't try that. http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.p...

What about readings some docs?

You can't install Linux for Intel x64 hardware. Full potential can only be achieved with arm64 (aarch64) distro.

Armbian is always 64bit on 64bit capable devices.

Hi guys im a ultra noob in this, so i have some troubles...i buy a nanopi neo+nas, burn the image in SD, and all work fine for a few days, then all services shut down and never start again... so i have to re-burn the image and start all over again, i think that i need to expand all size in SD card ...

I had a Raspberry Pi.

One of the main reasons why we don't provide Armbian for Raspberry Pi is because we don't want to do anything with their typical user base. RPi is a toy and you have no real use case.

Hardware makers have more troubles and have to live with this.

I thought on buying this T4 but now after reading these comments, I might hold back. I was thinking of buying and doing dual boot of desktop os (Ubuntu/Lubuntu/etc) and Android, between SD card and emcc. I also thinking of connecting ESP8266 to do the dual boot selection (set high/low on the BOOT s...

Probably not since Dietpi is official image + BASH script.

This will work:

FriendlyARM doesn't provide support for Dietpi. That is official - check the wiki.

Current Armbian has enabled hugepages and all other Docker dependencies ... it this is for Docker.

It something is missing, you can recreate the image or kernel in no time.

Since there's been 2 days between my question and its publication. I found the solution for both myself. Building a kernel is part of the documentation wiki : http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPC-T4#Compile_Lubuntu_Kernel . It's easy enough as the end product is the kernel.img file to ...

Armbian has support for this chip as well. You can try building T3 ,T3+, M3, Fire3 ... most of the things work.

Use parameter EXPERT="yes" to get access to those boards - they are still officially WIP.

But a good idea, Media script for Lubuntu was posted here:

Hi, I'am using NEO Plus 2. The board is using Linux kernel 4.14.0. I need to use CP210x usb-serail adapter with this board to interface some device.

Armbian as well? Hi Igor, Armbian is working well. But I really want to Ubuntu. (I am totally noob here, just guessing; maybe in Armbian the gpu support is not working?! Because is extremely slow) What exactly is working slow? Youtube video? That is not supported on most of those boards. It might w...

It's a Westinghouse 1080p television. It worked fine with the previous version of Lubuntu. I have tried a couple of different attempts to get it running with other OSes available, including Armbian. The original version of Lubuntu release, although flaky and prone to restarts, is the only one that ...

any update on this? Bootlin guys are working on OS video acceleration routines and they have some testing KODI, which I assume it must also have GLES enabled ... this would mean its possible. I haven't tried this myself yet ... H5 is not supported yet AFAIK. https://linux-sunxi.org/Sunxi-Cedrus#201...

Hello igorp, indeed I started with Armbian. But there was the config tool broken and I was not able to enable 2nd and 3rd USB ... the menu simply displayed garbage ... well but thats offtopic in this thread :-) Well, config tool is not yet on the level to deal with more complex setups, like more th...

Or simply go with Armbian, where this chip is supported out of the box and with a better driver.

Yeah, this I do get, but answering a million years beside equals to not answering for me. And then wishing luck.... Anyway, no time to lose with all this, I got rid of the boards and bought another mark that should run what I need cheers //close I am sorry to offend you. Not my intent. I simply can...

Armbian is 100% Ubuntu compatible and in a far better state.

You will need it.

Hi! I just bought 2 nano pi neo 2 1gb ram, with wifi adapters. I'm a raspberry user, running on Windows.

New to embedded Linux, as I said. In general.Yocto or Buildroot are different, more complex build engines. You will need to invest a lot more time to get going ...

how do I go about the development process? How do I include my apps in the image? Armbain is more or less plain Debian/Ubuntu so you can do all application testing in x86 virtual machines (I also do that way).

I'm looking for some tips for development with FriendlyCore for the NanoPi NEO Core2-LTS.

Usually with nand-sata-install ... but since we haven't added this board to the officially supported list, can't tell for sure. It's not tested.

That I don't know. I actually don't use this tool. I only try it once.

I assume it just searches in your subnet, from 1-255

The "bare metal" section in the Raspberry Pi forum can give you some ideas on how-to program an ARM CPU. But for programming the Allwinner SoC we need to have details on how to create a startup.S (or similar). The ideal option is not using the U-Boot loader and have our own 'bare metal' l...
