hello, i need help, I'm new owner of a N2+...at the moment I trying to flash eMMC 5.0 modul...i using a old umts stick because I'm not having a micro sdcard adapter..can't find the device...
<oncle>
I found it..
<fromport>
;-)
DigitalMan1983_ has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
<oncle>
I put the eMMC modul into that adapter and plug it into the umts stick...but not sure were the emmc to find?
<lanefu>
what is a umts stick and were is it plugged in
<oncle>
a GSM Stick and plugged into usb
<fromport>
why is it relevant you have a gsm stick plugged in ?
<lanefu>
GSM like for celluar?
<oncle>
I haven't at the moment no mirco sd adapter
<oncle>
lanefu: yes
<lanefu>
k yeah failing to understand how you flash an emmc storage module with a celluar device
<oncle>
I like to flash armbian on that eMMC without a mirco sd adapter so i rape the gsm-stick
<fromport>
IgorPec: i formatted the petitboot 16kb spi, but then nothing would happen. reflashed PB again. found out there is switch at the bottom you need to keep pressed up to 20 seconds after poweron to force it to boot from sd card. first time i saw armbian boot from sd card. currently resizing the partition
<[TheBug]>
lanefu: a lot of celuar modems will actually have an sdcard slot usually USB 1.0 ish and you can use it to read sdcards...
<lanefu>
oh
<lanefu>
beyond my expertise
<[TheBug]>
back in the day I used to use an old tmobile celluar modem that was no longer usful as a modem as an sdcard reader
<stipa>
but not emmc probably
<[TheBug]>
so Ic an understand if that is what he is doing there
<[TheBug]>
my understanding was he said he used the emmc to sdcard adapter
<[TheBug]>
and then placed it in the cellular modems sdcard reader
<[TheBug]>
but I could be wrong
<[TheBug]>
oncle: is that the case
<oncle>
yes
<stipa>
yeah, his machine doesnt see the emmc
<[TheBug]>
its possible
<oncle>
yes, yes
<[TheBug]>
cause those adapters are uisually usb 2.0
<[TheBug]>
or higher speed
<[TheBug]>
it may not work in that adapter
<[TheBug]>
adapter being the emmc adapter
<[TheBug]>
as in the cellular modem has older reader
<TRS-80>
dude just go buy another one, it's good to have spares anyway
<[TheBug]>
and its not working with the usd to emmc card
<oncle>
okay, what I need to flash armbian on the nand emmc?
<[TheBug]>
well
<[TheBug]>
here is my suggestion to y ou
<[TheBug]>
the device your flashing, does it have both emmc and sdcard?
<[TheBug]>
also what device?
<TRS-80>
normaly you install to sdcard and then boot into that, and then install to emmc
<[TheBug]>
if so, put emmc on the device, get a sdcard and write sdcard
<stipa>
N2+
<oncle>
o.k. o.k.
<[TheBug]>
then use armbian-config once booted on sdcard to install to emmc
<oncle>
oh thanx
<[TheBug]>
then you not need the adapter and all that
<fromport>
I finally have a booting odroid hc4 with armbian. no ethernet though. mii-tool says "no link" unplug -> plug gives me 100Mb link on the switch. mii-tool show 100Mb/s, dhclient -v eth0 <- no ip received

fromport: you are HC4 godfather-in-armbian
<khelair>
greetings everybody. I was wondering if anyone could tell me why my 'df' command isn't showing the /var/log.hdd/ partition & disk usage at all...
<TRS-80>
khelair: probably because it's mounted as zram or whatever
<khelair>
I thought the SD card was mounted there by default during the installation. Unless I totally blanked something
<TRS-80>
Yeah, I had to just double check. But /var/log is zram0; do lsblk to see this.
* nekomancer[m]
looks to usage rktools binaries in `rockchip64_common.inc`, telss "and all that should run in chroot?" and go to watch some cartoons then sleep.
<fromport>
ouch, ww
<fromport>
;-) getting late
<khelair>
now that I'm looking a little more closely, I have /dev/mmcblk0p1 mounted both on '/' and '/var/log.hdd', it looks like. how the hell does that work?

@fosspost (FOSS Post: Linux & Open Source): @lanefu @armbian Used it on Orange Pi PC2 and Orange Pi Zero Plus, very great and working like a charm. Plug-and-play. What was more interesting is that the download size of their images is extremely small (~300MB) because of the compression on them. (22s ago)
<ArmbianTwitter>
@DieZuckerbude (Ben Zucker 🍰): @fosspost @lanefu @armbian It is not only the compression, also the optimization scripts that allow the initial small file system to expand across the whole SDcard at first boot. (15s ago)

_whitelogger has joined #armbian
<rneese1>
Quiet morning
<Werner>
Indeed
<rneese1>
Well I hope to go home monday
<rneese1>
so then I can get back to working on things
<rneese1>
So what issues u having other then it looks small kernel issue
<Werner>
That basically nothing works except boot and network
<rneese1>
That's h2+
<rneese1>
Look at the nanopi duo 2 board code
<rneese1>
Or the nanopi duo it was h2+
<Werner>
OPi Zero is H2+, Nanopi duo might be as well. Zero2 however is H616
<rneese1>
Ok h616 ?
<Werner>
relatively new soc
<Werner>
Well it was the same for H6 almost two years ago. Very basic support came with 4.17. 4.17.14 IIRC was first Armbian supporting H6. ethernet was working until 4.18.0-rc7 and and it took a few month until I think 5.1 (?) brought it back. So it will take quite a while until H616 will be in good shape
<rneese1>
The duo2 is a h617
<rneese1>
H616
<Werner>
Um no? It's H3?
<rneese1>
Ok but the opi zero2 says it's only h2+
<lp0-on-fire>
er, where ? 0-2 I saw was definitely h616
<Werner>
XR819 always sucked but with the 3rd party driver Armbian integrates for quite a while now it became halfway usable
<rneese1>
Why is it orandpi n nanopi same chip an and board size did companiea
<rneese1>
They should just merge
<rneese1>
Lol
<lp0-on-fire>
nanopi at least don't put crappy wifi on their board… cough
<rneese1>
But the code for duo might help
<rneese1>
It's h2 plus
<rneese1>
The duo board did but the duo2 fixed it
<lp0-on-fire>
Werner: lucky you I guess ;) the first time I tried to use that stupid xr819 chip, the board froze spectacularly. I went with a rtl8811CU wifi dongle
<rneese1>
I miss my first board
<rneese1>
My beagle bone
<lp0-on-fire>
I miss running my odroid c2 :) it was really a nice board
<rneese1>
I have a c2 somewhere

it ran for almost 5 years without any problem, its just that where I am now I don't have any way to put it back up
<Werner>
lp0-on-fire, when did you try?
<lp0-on-fire>
Werner: hmm… about 2 weeks or so ago
midnight has joined #armbian
<lp0-on-fire>
I tried and tried different drivers, finally used the armbian one and… board took about 15 minutes to completely freeze to death
<lp0-on-fire>
it took its sweet time to lock up
<lp0-on-fire>
first thing to go was serial, but all in all it took 15 minutes for even pid 1 to freeze and sto feeding the hardware watchdog
<lp0-on-fire>
*stop
<Werner>
You could give it another shot with newer firmware blob
<lp0-on-fire>
buildroot was on rev 455d6b6701178dafe7fd0168eb4a4ef78a8d24a3
<Werner>
Dont know about buildroot
<lp0-on-fire>
yep that's the one I tried last
<Werner>
okay
<lp0-on-fire>
buildroot integrates the armbian firmware git repo as a package from which you can select stuff, and this is the commit it points to in the latest buildroot release
<Werner>
The firmware blob I mentioned above is not merged into the firmware repo yet
<ArmbianTwitter>
@Poddingue (Bruno Verachten 🍰): @DieZuckerbude @armbian @orangepixunlong Already ? Mine is still stuck in the customs... Guess Armbian will be it's first os after unboxing... 😍 (12s ago)
<lp0-on-fire>
right, so I would have to grab it as a patch and apply it on top
<lp0-on-fire>
can be done easily
<lp0-on-fire>
how fun I just noticed my opi 0 is the 256 mb ram version not the 512 lol
<ArmbianTwitter>
@A13_technology (∆13🏳️🌈): @Poddingue @DieZuckerbude @armbian @orangepixunlong I'm not the only one having problems with customs. 😶 (26s ago)
<ArmbianTwitter>
@DieZuckerbude (Ben Zucker 🍰): @Poddingue @armbian @orangepixunlong Don't expect too much. Besides boot and network mostly nothing works yet 😕 (30s ago)
<Werner>
simply replace the current firmware blob and reboot
<lp0-on-fire>
ah, yeah
<lp0-on-fire>
but I meant for packaging if it actually works
<Werner>
Will be merged soon anyways
Toast has joined #armbian

but otherwise i guess its contigent on whatever RAM is used

are you being serious?
<lanefu>
yes
<TRS-80>
If so, I think like what I replied to that guy "it depends on the application"
<lanefu>
no i'm beign specifc RK3399 SOC
<TRS-80>
I don't know if that can be separated from the implementation (SBC) however?
<nekomancer[m]>
<lanefu "but otherwise i guess its contig"> and cooler system, for sure
<lanefu>
mostly ram
<TRS-80>
as all those other peripherals seem to me also to have such a combined effect? (I/O comes primarily to mind)?
<lanefu>
and cooling/powermangment
<lanefu>
rk3399 has some differnetrram optons
<lanefu>
PBP is working so well, i'm thining about pivoting to RK3399 desktop SBC
<lanefu>
since N2 sitll isnt there
MrFixIt has joined #armbian
<TRS-80>
I know man, you been raving about it. Great news!
<TRS-80>
But NicoD said he didn't like N2 because it's I/O bound. And he is more of desktop daily user. I dunno if you checked out any of those videos I linked to?
<TRS-80>
assuming I am recalling correctly, but I think it was N2
<TRS-80>
or N2+ or whatever
<archetech>
pfrost is in the hands of some kooky kids
<archetech>
watched a video of them at college
<TRS-80>
even though N2 "on paper" sounds more powerful (and maybe is, in terms of raw power?)
<TRS-80>
archetech: I probably don't even want to actually know

sticks fingers in ears and yells LA LA LA LA LA LA

<TRS-80>
your N2?
<archetech>

<TRS-80>
"I make you good deal!" :D
<lanefu>
yeah raw CPU N2 spanks everything
<lanefu>
man i've got a rockpi 4c with all the kit in a cart
<lanefu>
gonna sleep on it
<lanefu>
and think about all the thing si dont need lol
<lanefu>
like i literally have an opi4
<lanefu>
i could put it out of cluster service and use it and be fine
<lanefu>
and its onboard emmc is fast
<lanefu>
4C as a minidisplay port out, which is appealing for my KVM situation
<TRS-80>
Certainly you know by now that just because something looks good "on paper" (exciting specs, etc.) does not actually mean jack shit, depending on implementation and software support, etc... That was like lesson #1 to me and why I started coming around Armbian in the first place, I think.
<lanefu>
ha yeah
<lanefu>
well honestly when i used the N2 with the lgacy kernel
<lanefu>
it's just dandy for my uses
<lanefu>
but kernel 5.10.0rc6 w/ rk3399 has been such a gamechanger on this pinebook
<lanefu>
that it's making me rethink
<lanefu>
and also i should be using N2 for testing

the TLDR on the pinebook pro is it's obviously abit of a community science project, and in general the fit and finish on it is better than it should be

hi, can someone tell me whats current state on armbian for odroid n2? especially audio passthrough on hdmi?
<TRS-80>
Hi tete_
<TRS-80>
https://www.armbian.com/odroid-n2/ says "Supported" and there are no obvious disclaimers, of course that does not mean it works, necessarily of course. I suspect this is some problem you are aware or already? Or?
<TRS-80>
No specific results on forums about?
<TRS-80>
Someone may be able to answer specifs if you hang out long enough, but it can be hit or miss.
<TRS-80>
depending who's around; and it's less busy here on weekends
<tete_>
well, there were some problems with hdmi out, guess it was because of this panfrost/bifrost thing
<tete_>
thought i'll ask and maybe someone can give me a hint if h265 etc. works
<tete_>
or if its just too early yet
