Bakebit OLED display was originally included in Friendly ARM Linux distro for NANO Pi. I try to print on display non-ASCII characters, included in TTF fonts provided by Bakebit. Based on included samples I wrote such code in Python2.7: #!/usr/bin/env python #-*- coding: utf-8 -*- # Added for UTF-8 s...
I use on my nanoPi NEO Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS (Xenial Xerus) from FriendlyELEC. I want to disable watchdogd from start because I use hardware watchdog (based 4541 timer). How can I do it. I think that files /boot/boot.cmd and/or /boot/boot scr should be modify. I know that it is possible in Raspbian but...
Strange. Since the last update i have no /var/cache/apt/archives/ dir. So I created it at this time manually. Will see what happens.
My "/" dir consist such files/dirs: bin opt boot partial busybox_1%3a1.22.0-15ubuntu1.4_armhf.deb pkgcache.bin daily_lock policykit-1_0.105-14.1ubuntu0.5_armhf.deb dev proc etc root home run hostapd_1%3a2.4-0ubuntu6.4_armhf.deb sbin lib srcpkgcache.bin libpam-systemd_229-4ubuntu21.21_armhf...

I did not try it on nanoPi M1 but on my nanoPi NEO2 in the newest version of npi-config there is option to set boot device from attached USB storage.
Yes, I know that zRAM is available by default. But how can I configure this?
Because my nanoPi NEO has only 256 MB RAM, I want to create compressed ramdisk uzing zRAM feature (not for SWAP). It is possible as I know in Ubuntu but how can I do it on Xenial taken from Friendly Elec ?
Yep, but my measuring unit are located country wide. I agree that if it would be possible to have 120 cards in the same place - OK. The next problem is possibility to make changes in app software. Nobody knows at this moment what it should be done. The soft is already well tested and works. But I ne...
OK. But I have no choice. Just 120 measuring units with FriendlyElec Linux distro on it. No way to change to another distro.
I have more then 100 pcs nanoPi NEO already installed and solder inside measuring units, with several sensor connected to each one. Because most of them has only 256 MB RAM, I must to increase amount of memory. I use Linux distro from Friendly Elec. It is not possible to solder something in already ...
It is possible. The newest version of npi-config has option "Boot device". I did not try to boot from already attached SSD HDD but this option offers such opportunity. In my solution, SD card is practically read-only. All changing files (including whole Domoticz) are located on SSD HDD. Bo...
Is it possible to use IR and SPDIF ports as "ordinary" GPIO input/output ports in nanoPi NEO? Ports are optionally labelled as PL11 and PA17. If so, what are the numbers for BCM and wPi, because this ports are not listed by "gpio readall" command.
How can I mount NFS share form NAS to nanoPi NEO. As I can see, there is no nfs client in Ubuntu Xenial distro. Probably I have to install something from repo. Any idea?
Is it possible to boot nanoPI NEO H3 v1.3.1 from USB attached SSD HDD instead SD card? I think about solution similar to Raspberry Pi 3. Any idea?
Is it possible to use console dedicated UART as "ordinary" UART, to connect additional measuring device, necessary in my project in my NanoPi H3 ver 1.3? Below output from dmesq: root@NanoPi-NEO:~# dmesg | grep tty [ 0.000000] Kernel command line: console=ttyS0,115200 earlyprintk root=/dev...
