service NetworkManager start But go to activate and it's all blank on it's WiFi. That's because network-manager gracefully ignores all interfaces defined the old/anachronistic way in /etc/network/interfaces. Armbian for NanoPi Air ships with an empty /etc/network/interfaces and a serial console on ...

I will try to call others, but the main problem is if it is sufficient to 2A M3 power at full load? With proper adapter and cable, it sure can as in my case. Did you ever try to run cpuburn-a53 on your device? https://github.com/ssvb/cpuburn-arm BTW: Very nice read why Micro USB to power a board is...

Is there anyway to change the throttle threshold? By installing cpufrequtils you can at least increase performance by defining the upper cpufreq treshold in a sane way. Since throttling always clocks down to the lowest value possible (800 MHz) adjusting the upper value in a way so that no throttlin...

85°C: https://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/1285-nanopi-m3-cheap-8-core-35/page-2#entry13803 :D No wonder it kept steady around that temperature. Seems to throttle down for a short moment to 700/800MHz then goes back up to 1.4GHz. Is there anyway to change the throttle threshold? The throttling...

P.S. Does anyone know the temperature limit whereby the M3 will start to throttle down?

So even a 3A wall plug to micro-USB will not provide the system with enough juice for full load How should this work? Micro USB is crap for powering devices that need juice. It's rated for 1.8A max (9W) and when there's heavy stuff running on all 8 CPU cores consumption exceeds this limitation whil...

Ok, vendor has no clue how to turn off backlight or adjust brightness. LCD use cases therefore not possible.

I can try with other cables. But the main issue is if 2A is enough to power the M3 at full load? Forget about Micro USB for anything needing more than a few mA. This stupid connector is rated for 1.8A max (not enough for running heavy stuff on all 8 CPU cores) and most if not all USB cables are cra...

BTW: Since I spotted NanoPi M1 Plus a while ago we added the board already to Armbian: https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/commit/acbbd441902d9dbe42f1574c7f5804bd4fedbac8 (no pre-built image but using our build system a Wheezy, Jessie, Trusty or Xenial image can be created easily). Just in case you ...

Could you ues the iperf tool to test network signal? I prefer iperf3 for obvious reasons but anyway: Test against a Linux connected with GbE to AP/router. Position of both NanoPi exactly identical. NanoPi M3 has to use the onboard thingie, NanoPi Air uses the ultra cheap antenna Xunlong sends out w...

the M3 integrated on-board ceramic antenna，you can use directly. Is this a joke? Realized it now that there's no connector for an IPX antenna any more. The ceramic antenna requires moving the M3 2-5 m next to the AP to get a stable connection and any throughput that is worth the name (even with WiF...

Found some more notes. Seems to you have to have software PWM enabled. If you can re-compile the kernel I can give you the boxes you have to tick. Best to check you have a /sys/class/leds/backlight first Thank you. But there's nothing there, only led1 and led2 (led1 is the blue led on NanoPi M3, le...

I also tried out LCD-HD700 and LCD-S700. Same problem: I neither know how to adjust backlight but more importantly I've no idea to completely turn the LCD's backlight off. Even when I issue a 'poweroff' on NanoPi M3 and the board shuts down the connected LED remains active and wastes unnecessarily 3...
