  1. Hot take that might not be that hot...

    If you are a self-proclaimed teaching channel, you have the duty to do your due research.

    Case in point, you do NOT tell people to use an alternative #SBC to the RPi whose OS was last updated mid-2025, is still running Debian 12, its vendor is stuck on Kernel 6.1, and the SBC has been unavailable anywhere (because thank you very much AI) when you post the video (today!).

    And you don't even bother talking about #Armbian, which would remediate at least part of those issues, because let's face it, if it weren't for Armbian, most of the non-RPi SBCs would not have an even remotely proper OS support.

    And lack of proper OS support will only lead to bad experiences for the users sooner or later.

    Do better.

  2. The all-new armbian.com is live!

    We’ve redesigned our home to make finding the perfect Linux build for your ARM & RISC-V hardware faster than ever. Check out the sleek new board search, updated docs, and v26.02 Goa release! 🐧💻

  3. Far from perfect, but #ChatGPT can be helpful faster than #Radxa support.

    I got some Radxa Rock 4B+ boards with AW‑NB197SM WiFi module and turns out it was some custom batch or smth.

    So they removed support for this module in Radxa OS r4 and onwards, though it works on r3.

    Also WiFi works great on #DietPi and #Armbian, so not a hardware fault.

    After fiddling for quite a while ChatGPT made me a shell script that fixes - feel free to use it: github.com/in-sympathy/radxa_r

  10. Now that I’ve successfully avoided FPGA-hell (thanks Quentin!) I used my copious free time to slide into GPIO-hell. I don’t have a screen or serial console at the moment on the Rock 4 SE, but whatever magic @armbian is trying to do in the fixup script to get 1Wire configured didn’t work here (see also github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/iss) and turned my GPIO4_D2 into "gpios = <0x8a 0x04 0x00 0xae>;” instead of “gpios = <0x1a 0x1a 0x00>;” that I need. Yay for handwritten DTSs!

  13. RE: mastodon.social/@derdreschi85/

    Attempted to dive into and adding this as userspace to #armbian, but it seems like the package index of #ubuntu doesn't list #resolute yet. Guess, I'll give it a few more days...

  15. I'm considering a rebuild of the #armbian #matrix service from scratch using #synapse instead of #dendrite.

    Initially I considered Dendrite over Synapse for its better fit for small instances. However it seems that Synapse received some optimizations for that in the mean time, also allow scaling up more easily.

  18. Status update 2 of 2: The mini #Debian file server is currently sprawled out all over my desk. I have one of the drives connected and running data recovery. We’ll see how things go. When I attempt to attach one of the drives to my main computer I got “unknown file system” errors.

    #MDADM would not work for me to reset up the drives. Reinstalling Debian didn’t work. I tried #ARMbian and #Ubuntu to no avail.

    Maybe when I made tweaks to #Cockpit I scrambled the drives?

  20. Insgesamt ist der #BPI M4 ZERO ein interessantes System, passt auch tatsächlich in die meisten RasPi Zero Gehäuse (allerdings muss man bei den USB-Ports teilweise etwas nachfeilen).

    Aber mal wieder typisch BPI... #Bluetooth, worfür ich ihn gekauft habe, ist unter #Armbian noch nicht zum Laufen zu bekommen. Und die Images von BPI selbst (irgendwelche Binaries auf Google Drive) will ich nicht nutzen.

  21. ok, so I installed ubuntu 24.04 from Joshua, because #armbian is not yet decently installable on my Orange pi 5b version.

    armbian works as it should from an SD card but I have to tweak to have wifi, I CANNOT install armbian to EMMC within my orange pi, the emmc is visible only when inserting the sd card with the previous os(ubuntu) installed on emmc, but once you try to install on emmc it just disappear and never be shown again.

    If they solve the #emmc install I'll put it on my #orangepi

  25. Funny thing about SBCs.. you never truly know what uboot and kernel combination is gonna be stable and stay online until you run it.

    (I actually have this thing running in a colo 1000 miles from me--hence my hesitancy to update)
