hello
<Guest6>
Hi everybody. İ have tried many images but couldnt boot them correctly. its booting android recovery mode only...
<Guest6>
My device is x96 mini 2/16
<Guest6>
I've renamed u-boot.ext and changed extlinux.conf correctly. But never boot yet. I boot up only android recovery mode. Please help.

I'm still looking for an out-of-the-box home router solution. Similar to banana pi r2/r64, but more powerfull.
<IgorPec>
out-of-the box = mikrotik? :)

ubiquiti or openwrt...
<IgorPec>
openwrt - depends on hw
<p0g0_>
yeah, but the table of hardware has a lot of entries.
califax has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]
califax- is now known as califax
<IgorPec>
i am affraid a lot half working
<p0g0_>
fwiw, even if you don't install openwrt, the data in that table, what radios, RAM etc, is good stuff.
<p0g0_>
sure OpenWRT doesn't solve all things for all radios..
<IgorPec>
we have here the same problem, just different target. if base things doesn't work on device X and its unstable, it can't be better with openwrt
<IgorPec>
they are router / networking oritented. so they can live without HDMI or some video acceleration support, but the rest must work
<p0g0_>
well, I've been around the OpenWRT folks since MadWifi (the early Atheros 2.4 Ghz stuff), a lot of devices work well.
<IgorPec>
and i have been closely when a flood of cheap general SoC flooded market in past 10y
<p0g0_>
Sure, lots of vendors won't play well with an open source outfit. It's not a perfect world for FOSS.
<IgorPec>
atheros is known to be good
<IgorPec>
but routers of todays can't run around Atheros on 600MHz
<p0g0_>
fwiw, the question was about out-of-the-box stuff, and that obviates OpenWRT. The table of hardware and wiki are still an excellent resource for choosing devices.
<IgorPec>
i would not trust that table
<IgorPec>
its still roughly about 10-15% of surprice factor
<nekomancer[m]>
<p0g0_> "ubiquiti or openwrt..." <- apple of router world
<IgorPec>
espressobin is there, bananapi r1 as well. both are just garbage
<p0g0_>
IgorPec, do you have a better list of devices and their features?
<IgorPec>
no. just saying that "big list" doesn't means great value at the same time
<IgorPec>
i am just sharing my knowing about devices.
<IgorPec>
most of things on the list i have no direct experinces, so i can't tell anything about
<p0g0_>
yeah, like I say, I did tech support for the MadWifi driver, and have known a fair bit about OpenWRT. I don't know of any better wiki about wifi hardware. No arguement that there are flaws and gaps, it is nigh all volunteered data.
<IgorPec>
openwrt is just fine. it not about that
<IgorPec>
its about putting some solution on a hardware that is either total junk or not approriate
<IgorPec>
you can run NAS on Rpi or Router on Rpi. But is this even close to optimal hardware?
<lanefu>
Nanopi r4s is the only thing I think in SBC that has respectable potential
<lanefu>
But I like then edgerouter series from ubiquity. They're a fork of vyatta / vyos
<IgorPec>
clearfog as well, but its in higher price range
<adeepv>
IgorPec with debian/ubuntu inside. mikrotik no-no-no)
<adeepv>
lanefu I saw vyatta come into the world. I'm too old)
<adeepv>
I have my eye on clearfog, but I don't really understand the performance of their ClearFog GT 8K
<IgorPec>
i only have armada a380 here. which works fine, but its not very performant
