It will help you everywhere. Not just here. Armbian is community backed non-profit project. It doesn't need advertisements, contrary. I only try to help you since you are failing and there are not many people that will jump into this code. We use 4.19, 5.4.y and understand how those chips works ver...

When I brutally comment-out all mention of UART3 from the DT, it seems to help. The "chipselect 0 already in use" error disappears. The others remain for now.

This is, I believe, the second time I ask a question here and get a response from you advertising Armbian, Igor. I did toy with it the last time, but I don't see how it can help me here - I would still need to write and debug a custom overlay. Not sure how adding an OS switch to my work will help.

I'm trying to enable and use SPI1 on a Nanopi neo core 2, using the Friendlyarm kernel. I understand that SPI1 is multiplexed with UART3, and is disabled by default. But simply enabling SPI1 in the device tree while disabling UART3 didn't do the trick (there was no attempt to bring up spi1 during bo...

In general.Yocto or Buildroot are different, more complex build engines. You will need to invest a lot more time to get going ... Armbian is good for most general purpose cases, where you don't need deep control over packages/subsystems. It really depends on your specifics needs. Thanks, I'll need ...

I'm using yocto for Nanopi development ; support for buildroot may exist too for Nanopi. As explained by igorp, I started with ubuntu or armbian distribution on nanopi. Since I need to modify three or more components provided by the distribution (kernel config, audio subsystem replacement, boot ord...

Armbain is more or less plain Debian/Ubuntu so you can do all application testing in x86 virtual machines (I also do that way). When you are done, use this: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_User-Configurations/#user-provided-image-customization-script There is also one working example for a...

Perhaps try community development engine. It is more user-friendly and it supports most of FriendlyElec boards: https://github.com/armbian/build https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ Thanks, Igor. I was able to build an Armbian image, but my (again, generic) question still sta...

I'm looking for some tips for development with FriendlyCore for the NanoPi NEO Core2-LTS. I don't have too much experience deploying embedded Linux, so my very basic (and rather generic) question is: what should my workflow be? How do I cross-compile custom applications for the processor on my (Ubun...
