hi all
<DigitalMan1983>
Having some U-Boot woes, using the U-boot generated by the build scripts, I'm trying to modify a couple of the environment variables by entering the U-boot menu at boot time, but when I try to saveenv the changes I get Saving Environment to FAT... Unable to use mmc 1:1... Failed (1)
<lanefu>
not using armbian image then?
<lanefu>
you should just edit the vars manually in boot.ini before booting
<lanefu>
armbian doesnt use FAT for boot
<lanefu>
s/should/could try/
<ArmbianHelper>
lanefu meant to say: you could try just edit the vars manually in boot.ini before booting
<DigitalMan1983>
where is boot.ini located?
<DigitalMan1983>
this is a trunk I built myself
<lanefu>
in /boot
<lanefu>
sorry wait
<lanefu>
what board is this
<DigitalMan1983>
Lime-A64
<lanefu>
right sorry no boot.ini there
<lanefu>
edit boot.cmd and run the command it says to run in the bottom of the file
<[TheBug]>
I would tell you if only want to stream / view and not record video
<[TheBug]>
use Android on a board that has video blob and use the app for your device, it will provide the best results for what you are wanting -- as per in Linux, again, as long as it supports hardware accel then you should be able to open the stream in a Xwindows client or a web browser and it not have issues with decode
<[TheBug]>
A lot more SBCs will have video accel in Android than they will in Linux because most drivers are blobs -- now there are some opensource drivers being worked on but I am not sure the status on that
<[TheBug]>
and which device currently has those drivers integrated if any
<[TheBug]>
I know for example there are LibreELEC/OpenELEC that have open source drivers for a bunch of devices but that isn't a Linux desktop, its a specialized distribution to run kodi
<[TheBug]>
but if video playback is what you need maybe there is some way you could manipulate the image to your use case

* lanefu
lets cameras handle motion detection, and use api triggers for recording
* lanefu
also got tired of F-ing with zoneminder, shinobi, etc. and forked out $$ for synology surveillance station licenses
<[TheBug]>
Actually I ended up going
<[TheBug]>
I got 3 cameras
<[TheBug]>
on a CherryTrail z8350 w/ 4GB ram and 64GB emmc
<[TheBug]>
run win 10 with BlueIris
<[TheBug]>
anything more than 3 cameras though is a little much for it
<[TheBug]>
but Blueiris is worth the 60$ one time license if you ask me
<[TheBug]>
assuming your okay with running windows for it that is
<[TheBug]>
I tried many solutions like you mentioned lanefu, with those same tools and couldn't get it to be reliable
<[TheBug]>
I originally tried using motion on a RPi3 and such

mistiqe: just build from complete empty dir image Armbian_20.05.6_Odroidn2_focal_current_5.6.19.img with btrfs. It not boots too.
<nekomancer[m]>
but I remember somebody there build btrfs image not long time ago and it boots on N2?

[TheBug] thanks... I was looking for a Linux solution. Also to learn a bit... I guess the best option is the Raspberry Pi.

with rpi you will learn ... nothing :)

TiD91: if you can provide additional information on what your trying to accomplish it would be easier to make more specific suggestions... your request was pretty broad so the answer was as well

IgorPec, I might by off here but your lastpatch pull from tobetter was 9 days ago theres stuff added 5 days ago
<IgorPec>
for xu4?
<archetech>
and otheres
<IgorPec>
xu4 is broken, others are attached directly
<archetech>
ok
<IgorPec>
this stuff is for after the release in any case. i don't want to mess up with their changes
<IgorPec>
as you can see i had to set commit it. its a dirty hack, but no other choice if i want to build kernel without spending a day fixing problems they made
<archetech>
yeah I dont want 5.4.y myself
<archetech>
thought maybe slap it on dev
<IgorPec>
well, its the only alternative
<lanefu>
dev is already 5.7
<lanefu>
with a terrible performance regress for data transmit
<lanefu>
:P
<IgorPec>
yeah, does it work well?
<IgorPec>
aha-a :)
<lanefu>
works great if you're not transmitting data
<lanefu>
its hella bad
<archetech>
its receive thats broke
<archetech>
I didnt lok close but maybe thats in the last tobetter stuff
