it's just the one, and they're all plugged into the same usb hubs... which are plugged directly into the 5V rail of a 300W power supply. :)
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> That's clearly linked to broadcom hw libs

<��𝖊𝖔𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖗𝖑𝖊𝖘> Yeah I’m thinking I’m going to toss in the towel on the specific usage I’m going after And use this for something else

<parabyte>
where is the kernal images and initrd images?
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> You can try to emulate it, but I don't know how much libs this program use
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> Compile box64 and try the x86_64 version
<parabyte>
i boot some sunxi box's with fel, and i usually use Debian to bootstrap the system to dd armbian onto its flash
<parabyte>
does armbian have any image files available so i do not have to use debian?!
<parabyte>
i am aware i can compile armbian to get said image files, but at the moment im hitting a bug with the armbian build system on my Devuan box
<parabyte>
its complaining about lack of systemd
archetech has joined #armbian
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> Okay
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> Let me try it on my own
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> I will answer you on a sec
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> Noo... it use an insane amount of libs
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> So emulation isn't an option.. at least it's not easy
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> This is the propper workaround
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> Even rpi doesnt use that libs anymore
<Armbian-Discord>
<��𝖊𝖔𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖗𝖑𝖊𝖘> I’ll check that out.
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> So they had to use that to wrapper the lib
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> And yo ue mesa instead
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> I assume you use mesa
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> Also, remeber you need a 32 bit system or at least userspace
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> Also, if you dont have mesa maybe gl4es will do the trick, or you can modify the wrapper.
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> The software isn't up to date even for rpi
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> That's for sure!
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> Bc as today, it will need a wrapper on rpi4
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> Same for parsec, etc..
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> Rpi doesnt use those blobs anymore
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> Hopefully you will get it working

ok, and my power issue last night? looks to have been a bad power delivery cable.

<derekdon> fuuuckk
<Armbian-Discord>
<derekdon> well, you saw what I said @lanefu , erh, said that from the new AU location lol
<parabyte>
oh i see there is people alive here
<parabyte>
so where is the kernel images and initrd images?
<parabyte>
for armbian
<parabyte>
i cant be bothered building from source as precompiled binaries are perfect
<juri_>
i believe we just ship SD card images. :P
<parabyte>
that is so annoying juri_
<parabyte>
i flash box's all the time
<parabyte>
and i find allwinner android tv box's always seem to have faulty sdcard circuit and a problem with usb and the only way to bootstrap armbian into the system is with booting via sunxi's fel
<juri_>
I agree, but i'm new here.
<juri_>
just doing what i can.
<parabyte>
what you trying to do?
<juri_>
I'm re-building a synology disk array, using allwinner chips that have SATA to control the disks.
<parabyte>
i use these armbian box's as general purpose box's for all sorts of things, and sometimes sell them on ebay as a rasp pi alternative
<IgorPec>
parabyte: check repository
<parabyte>
iv looked on download mirrors for armbian IgorPec
<parabyte>
got a url to point me in the right direction?
<parabyte>
im using debian arm to bootstrap armbian onto these box's
<parabyte>
!!!!
<IgorPec>
apt.armbian.com
<parabyte>
initrd and kernel image be in there IgorPec ?
<IgorPec>
nope
<IgorPec>
kernel only
<IgorPec>
init rd is created dynamically
<parabyte>
ill continue using debian's installer to bootstrap armbian
<IgorPec>
well, i can't help you here. don't use that
<parabyte>
IgorPec, got any ideas on how i can bootstrap using sunxi's fel with a armbian stock image?
<juri_>
parabyte: which TV boxes are you using?
<parabyte>
i would rather do that IgorPec
<parabyte>
juri_, cheap chinese box's last night i flashed armbian onto a mxg pro 4k allwinner h3 box
<parabyte>
today i did 2 amlogic 905x box's
<IgorPec>
cheap tvbox support we don't do here
<IgorPec>
that os on forums only
<parabyte>
IgorPec, nah im patching armbian myself
<parabyte>
i have the technical know how to figure that out
<juri_>
parabyte: just wondering, cause i have three of those around the house myself.
<parabyte>
juri_, they are easy to figure out
<parabyte>
juri_, extract the old firmware and carve out dtb from that and uboot's variables
<parabyte>
sometimes i have to edit the dtb, usually i am lucky and can just drop it straight into armbian /boot/dtb folder
<parabyte>
sorry the user overlay folder which name eludes me right now
<juri_>
nice. thanks for the tips. :)
<parabyte>
the dtb is dynamic and changes on kernel updates!
<juri_>
I'll get around to those eventually.
<IgorPec>
dtb is in a separate package
<parabyte>
IgorPec, sorry i am a debian user. i been using armbian for approx 1 month
<parabyte>
juri_, how much ram do those box's have?
<parabyte>
IgorPec, has anyone here upgraded ram on these box's?
<IgorPec>
no idea, core armbian team is avoding tvboxes
<parabyte>
whats the hate for them?
<IgorPec>
don't know if anyone was changing ram chips
<IgorPec>
no, its not hate
<IgorPec>
its sanity
<parabyte>
lol yes as i said earlier i get sunxi tv android box's and no matter what they will not load uboot from sdcard
<juri_>
parabyte: I went for the big ones.
<IgorPec>
we want to keep mental health ;)
<parabyte>
so yes i can understand that you would get lots of users pestering you about stupid issues
<Armbian-Discord>
<derekdon> what's a mental health?
<juri_>
parabyte: hey now, i'm one of those pestery users. :P
<IgorPec>
parabyte: if you really wanna know
<IgorPec>
<parabyte> sometimes i have to edit the dtb, usually i am lucky and can just drop it straight into armbian /boot/dtb folder

parabyte: check that FAQ. Even you are advanced user, it will be interesting things to read
<parabyte>
thanks IgorPec i will give it a read in abit

IgorPec, so me selling armbian ex android box's on ebay is making the armbian team weap!?!!!
<parabyte>
i did mention on the auction to contact me for support as the box's are not supported by armbian at all
<qu454|2>
<IgorPec> no idea, core armbian team is avoding tvboxes <-- because there are so many obsurce versions of them?
<parabyte>
and weird electrical issues!
<IgorPec>
yes, that too. we have too many SBCs alreaedy
<juri_>
I'm going to be a pain there. every SBC i own is unsupported. :)
