even concerning allwinner. running mainline is an improvement on a lot of fronts. eth being one on certain boards.
<Tonymac32>
if there are specific patch series that are accepted to the mainline, yes, or that aren't to disruptive either way
<Tonymac32>
I had to do some ridiculous cleaning on the Amlogic folder and never even touched the N2 releated stuff
<Tonymac32>
nekomancer[m] everyone has their kinks, I leave everyone's personal relationship with patches to themselves

<c0rnelius>
patches have a place. even on H5 and A64 you still need it for basic thermal support. I was just curious.
<Tonymac32>
Right, and we use a lot of
<Tonymac32>
patches
<c0rnelius>
yeah

Tonymac32: yeah its not related to any of our patches
<lanefu>
i wonder if it was like some hop from 5.7.{8-9} - 5.7.10
<lanefu>
the important thing is
<lanefu>
it works and all we had to do was nothing
<lanefu>
c0rnelius: basic model is to follow a 5.x.y branch, and patch as needed until not needed
<c0rnelius>
lanefu: I understand and follow what Armbian does.
<c0rnelius>
its all very good work
<lanefu>
lol okay
<c0rnelius>
I'm being serious ;D

lane@billroyall:~/GIT/build$ if [[ $(ls patch/kernel/meson64-current/|wc -l) -gt 50 ]] ;then echo "the fuck has been patchd out of kernel";fi
<c0rnelius>
I don't currently own a N2 but I am looking at that +
<lanefu>
the fuck has been patchd out of kernel
<c0rnelius>
I don't own a C4 which assume won't be even close to awesome for another 8 months or so.
<c0rnelius>
if lucky
<c0rnelius>
I do own a C4*
<c0rnelius>
i means
<lanefu>
minus no 1440p the Odroid N2- is pretty good
<c0rnelius>
looks pretty good
<c0rnelius>
i was thinking of replacing the NanoPC-T4 with it.
<c0rnelius>
only concerned about native aarch64 compiles and the ports
<IgorPec>
but i am not sure uploading works atm since infrastructure is beeing under heavy changes :)
<Werner>
There is only one way to find out :P

@armbian (armbian): @fkardame @AnachronistJohn @thepine64 @khadas_official ... and more important - faster and more reliable PCI to SATA connection. https://t.co/nZO4Eovrz2 SATA hat for M4 https://t.co/xiZXXoWyeE (23s ago)

@AnachronistJohn (John Klos): @armbian @fkardame @thepine64 @khadas_official I have a RockPro64, and the Pi 4's performance is roughly on par for CPU intensive work like ffmpeg: bench: utime=85279.116s stime=183.583s rtime=16395.659s RP64, six cores, 16396 seconds bench: utime=61411.913s stime=125.144s rtime=16602.675s RPi4, four cores, 16604 seconds (27s ago)

@AnachronistJohn (John Klos): @armbian @fkardame @thepine64 @khadas_official Having more memory matters, though, because with just four gigs, you can't compile NetBSD with -j 4 (or higher) without hitting swap. (28s ago)

@armbian (armbian): @AnachronistJohn @fkardame @thepine64 @khadas_official You can easily extend memory with ZRAM to cover corner cases as such. But since this looks more like a NAS to be ... check with @freenas people what do they think about USB drives https://t.co/UHyU9cJe8h (4s ago)

Hey, it worked, now to get a relay set up and to make this thing start on boot

tonymac32: I like to compile native aarch64 when I can and thats mostly all I use the NanoPC-T4 for these days. The N2+ looked like it might be a better option.
<c0rnelius>
but yes, the T4 does have way more baked in goodies onboard.
<DigitalMan1983>
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience (past or present) with the A64 processor? (More specifically Olimex's Olinuxino A64 and Teres-A64)
<c0rnelius>
only the pine a64
<PPA>
#linux-sunxi may be able to help you too
<DigitalMan1983>
c0nelius does the pine have touch screen capability?
<DigitalMan1983>
thanks PPA I'll check them out
<c0rnelius>
yeah' when it worked. haven't tried in years. currently its just used as print server.
<c0rnelius>
plus the lcd pine sold with it was garbage and had horrid viewing angels.
<DigitalMan1983>
I'm looking at it and it looks like it only has DSI
<DigitalMan1983>
my LCD is RGB, so Pine doesn't look like it fits my needs.
<DigitalMan1983>
I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with Olimex's board but it's rather unclear whether or not the touch panel was ever implemented
<DigitalMan1983>
Almost went with Banana Pi M64 but discovered it lacked the RGB port as well
<c0rnelius>
oh I see
<DigitalMan1983>
Olimex claims that there's no sense in buying the display because it hasn't been implemented in their prebuilt images. However, the Armbian build scripts I'm using install a more modern kernel (5.4) and show kernel configuration options for both the LCD and the touch panel
<DigitalMan1983>
I have a feeling their images probably have kernel 3.x from back before a lot of stuff was properly supported

Werner: do you have a project that is downstream from armbian? or do you just armbian with armbian?
<Tonymac32>
lanefu setting up weechat
<Tonymac32>
c0rnelius aha, that makes sense
<Tonymac32>
now, there are a lot of other variables to consider here, but my T4 and my N1 are actually tied with their rosetta@home average credit
<Tonymac32>
I have an NVME in the T4 that houses the root filesystem, for example
<Tonymac32>
the N2 is running on a USB3 stick (Was faster than the eMMC)
<Tonymac32>
the N2 has been 20% ahead a few times, but usually falls back again (not sure why)
<Werner>
lanefu, mostly just playing around.
<Werner>
I have one OPi One serving pihole. The other two a while ago I used as cowrie honeypots
Nakaori has joined #armbian
<c0rnelius>
Is that the N2 or the N2+? I was looking at the plus.
<c0rnelius>
Odd it's better on the USB instead of the eMMC
<Tonymac32>
N2, I don't have a +. It will be faster if it's actually stable
<Tonymac32>
I would guess Hardkernel will not make the same mistake it made on C2
