Попалась мне NanoPi Neo3 на 1GB RAM, НО по очень приятной цене, не смог устоять и приобрёл. Больше железа богу железа, как говорится. Да и в конце концов, будет на чём продолжать изучение и эксперементы с #Linux соблюдая разнообразие.
Ну, не могу я себя держать в руках при виде миниатюрных компьютеров и инструментов. Слабости и умиление побеждают прагматика во мне.

NanoPi NE03 Plus is a tiny, headless single-board PC for $24
The FriendlyELEC NanoPi NE03 Plus is a tiny single-board computer (SBC) that measures 48 x 48mm (1.9″ x 1.9″) and features a 2 GHz Rockchip RK3528A quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 processor with Mali-450 graphics.
While the little computer isn’t exactly a speed demon, it is cheap. The NanoPi NE03 Plus available now for $24. But while it’s a nice step up from the original NEO03 Plus that launched in […]

wow, my Armbian first boot experience with the FriendlyElec NanoPi M6 was WAY ahead of what I went thru with the M4 - clearly a ton of work has been happening!
here's what I did:
1. write the @armbian image to a microSD.
2. connect all necessary peripherals to the #NanoPi and insert the microSD.
3. turn on the power.that's all. it Just Worked. #Armbian

Are there any small form factor (#SFF) #SBC with case, like the #NanoPi which support: 1. #OpenWRT (or other WiFI routing/networking software) 2. other #linux distributions (like Alpine Linux) and 3. has WiFi (preferably WiFi6, but any WiFi is better than none in this situation).
The #BerylAX seems like it may not be sufficient with 512MB RAM, but it is a pretty light weight small portable travel router.If anyone is curious why, I could go into details in the comments.

Перетряхнул домашнюю сетку. Роутинг окончательно переехал на #nanopi #r5s - одна сеть для хозяйства, другая сеть для домашних.
#friendlywrt поменял на #debian 13 - вроде норм всё. Сбросил и настроил точкой доступа #r5c - но можно и что-то попроще использовать для этого.
Адресация и ipv6 остались на месте.

I'm very happy to announce that thanks to a donor who wishes to remain anonymous, I have in my hands a FriendlyElec NanoPi M6 - in this configuration, a tiny fanless desktop #microPC based on the Rockchip RK3588S processor.
I've had my eye on this device to fill the role of ultraportable desktop PC, especially in the event my laptop ever breaks or is lost/stolen, which would instantly render me unable to work if I didn't have a backup.
because of this generous gift, I'll be able to put the #NanoPi M6 to the test, and answer my top-of-line question: just how usable is this device as a light-duty desktop PC running Linux right now, in 2026? how well is the hardware supported? will I have problems getting work done?
I'm looking forward to having answers to all that and more. be sure to keep an eye on the Peertube channel @surfhosting.cc in the coming weeks and months ... and thank you so much to my donor, you know who you are!

Последние пару месяцев экспериментировал с настройками и решил сделать небольшую перестройку в домашней сети
OpenWRT служил хорошо, но за последнее время всё чаще стал ощущать, что он ограничивает возможности. Особенно когда нужно что-то нестандартное - например, подключить сторонние сервисы, настроить сложные правила фильтрации или использовать какие-то новые средства ;) . Поэтому решил перейти на Debian 12. Пока всё работает стабильно, и есть ощущение, что теперь можно будет гибче подходить к задачам.
Также поменял железо: BananaPi BPI-R3 ушёл в запас (надо будет выставить на продажу). На его место пришёл NanoPI R5S. Почему он? потому что 3 порта и лёгкость в установке
Wi-Fi теперь раздаётся отдельным устройством — TP-Link Archer C7, который стоит в более удобном месте. Покрытие квартиры стала равномернее, почти нет зон с плохим сигналом.

I have this #nanopi R3S LTS for several month now. Today I realized it has buttons on its side 😂

updated the #NanoPi M4 with Armbian's armbian-config and it appears to have gone flawlessly ... and Youtube playback performance in Chromium on trixie is a LOT better than it was on bookworm.

My hard work has paid off! I successfully booted FreeBSD on the NanoPi R2S Plus. FreeBSD automatically detected and resized the root filesystem, and I can now access it through the debug console.
My next challenge is creating a flashable image, since my current setup only works when I manually intervene during the boot process. Second problem, LAN port not detected due incorrect clock.

I didn't notice at the time, but a new @armbian release with Debian Trixie as one of the images dropped in August:
https://9to5linux.com/armbian-25-8-released-with-support-for-linux-kernel-6-16-and-debian-trixie
I found this out because I started poking at the #NanoPi M4 at 2am after asking my housemate for access to his media box. I started cutting back my consumption of Youtube sludge a month ago or so (using the #Unhook browser extension), and as a result might start watching some TV again after like 4 years with no TV or cinema. and the NanoPi is in the perfect spot to be a media player.
I probably won't upgrade to Trixie on it unless playback performace of HEVC demands it, I previously spent like 3 days getting the desktop set up how I like, and Armbian recommends a fresh install rather than a Debian style upgrade.

interesting, some #NanoPi R4S units have some fairly problematic issues with recent #OpenWrt ... problems rebooting, problems with ethernet interfaces not coming back up, etc.
meanwhile, the R6S has been fully supported for a while...

NanoPi R76S is a 2.5 inch router board with dual 2.5 GbE LAN ports, HDMI, and a RK3576 processor
It’s been less than two weeks since FriendlyELEC introduced the NanoPi R3S-LTS as a cheap, tiny router board with a Rokchip RK3566 processor, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, and an HDMI port for video output.
Now the company has introduced a new model that’s a tiny bit larger, but significantly more powerful. The NanoPi R76S has a Rockchip RK3576 processor, support for up to 16GB of RAM, dual […]

NanoPi R3S-LTS is a cheap, tiny router board with audio and video output
When FriendlyElec launched the NanoPi R3S last year, the tiny single-board computer was positioned as a router board that packed two Gigabit Ethernet ports and a Rockchip RK3566 processor into a board measuring just 57 x 57mm (2.24″ x 2.24″).
Now the company has added a new model to its lineup that adds a few features the original was missing: including an HDMI 2.0 port for video output, as […]

but thankfully there are parts of my #surfhosting tech stack which are fairly settled already:
OS: #LinuxMint; #Debian (with #LXQt if needed, or #BunsenLabs); #OpenWRT
Virtualization: #Proxmox
Hardware: refurb "1-liter" #1LPC business #miniPC from HP, Dell, Lenovo, with mid to high end CPU
Network: #GLiNet and #FriendlyElec #NanoPi routers / network-attached devices; #PiVPN
Phone: #VoipMS with dedicated SIP phone, plus softphone apps for limited use
Power: 90% of everything powered from compact #GaN USB-PD power supplies; 24/7 gear backed by ~15 year old consumer UPSes with drop-in LFP 12V batteries

btw, after my experience with the FriendlyElec #NanoPi M4, I will be attempting to get and review the NanoPi M6 in the configuration shown: 16GB RAM, 64GB eMMC, metal case without LCD. it has "platinum" Armbian support last I looked.
some of these #SBC vendors have got their shit a lot more together than what I'm used to from Cubieboard days.

Sadly our Samsung ML-1665 monochrome laser printer has reached the end of its life, we got it in 2010 which I think is pretty good going.
Ive replaced it with a Brother HL-1112 and connected it to a #nanopi which we had been using as a #CUPS #print server.
But now I've got an old printer, any suggestions of what to do with it? #hack it up perhaps?

I gotta say, apart from the broken stuff when venturing off the garden path with Armbian install/config scripts, I'm very impressed with the distro after installing it and spending a couple weeks pushing the NanoPi M4 to its limit.
it doesn't support LXQt as a desktop out of the box - meaning installing #LXQt isn't a curated option in the #Armbian install script - but just adding it as one would typically do on a bare Debian machine works fine, there are few to no obvious bugs, and the desktop is very snappy on the #Rockchip RK3399.
I will try to get a #NanoPi M6 eventually, as 4 GiB RAM is just not enough, but for now the M4 is doing very well in the role I have it in.

But it's not all failures. Some other customer sent in his NanoPi NEO 512. It a was nice, fast and easy fix - MP2143DJ IC got hot up to 150+° C, so I ordered and replaced it right away ✅.
Again - life is so much easier with schematics:

I see that #FriendlyElec has come out with a successor to the NanoPi M4 called the NanoPi M6.
https://wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_M6
I saw the #NanoPi M6 when looking at the list of boards with platinum Armbian support.
I set up Armbian and installed #LXQt on the M4 yesterday, which is a substantially slower system than the M6, and it's pretty usable for basic low-complexity desktop stuff. Youtube in Chromium with UBlock Lite is pretty serviceable.
the fact it has Armbian platinum support is a selling point. less lock-in to FriendlyElec's custom Debian/Ubuntu releases. #miniPC

shot the #NanoPi R5S first boot video. shall I spoil the outcome? it's an extremely typical outcome for an ARM SBC.
I suppose if people don't wanna hear what happened til I edit & post the video, there are still details that I can share without spoiling it...
