Power & Source of Big Ideas

My new power supply for my R5S just arrived! It's a TEKERA 11 Port USB 3.2 Hub with a PD 20W port. In recent weeks, I've been getting numerous USB drive disconnects. I've got a 4TB USB SSD connected to the R5S. I've been using a 30W phone charger to power the R5S, its internal NVMe SSD, and its exte...
I did something like: root@FriendlyWrt:~# vi /etc/rc.local # Put your custom commands here that should be executed once # the system init finished. By default, this file does nothing. mkdir -p /mnt/nvme0n1p9 mkdir -p /mnt/sda1 mount -a nvme0n1 is my internal SSD sda1 is my USB SSD I've got my file s...
Anyone using a 2.5Gbps port as the WAN port on the R5S? As from September, we'll have 2Gbps internet available. I'd be keen to know how to setup one 2.5Gbps port as the WAN port and the other 2.5Gbps port as a LAN port. I'd be interested to know the throughput too. Edit: I manually edited /etc/confi...
How is this progressing?

Does rk3568-sd-friendlywrt-24.10-docker-20250228.img.gz support the apk package manager?

I'd like to update sometime, but don't want to break everything.
I did something like: # Setup Mount Points mkdir -p /mnt/nvme0n1p9 mkdir -p /mnt/sda1 mount /dev/nvme0n1p9 /mnt/nvme0n1p9 mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 # we can find the UUID of the drives... blkid vi /etc/fstab UUID="49346f6f-6e91-435f-8224-77641d72b5fc" /mnt/nvme0n1p9 ext4 defaults 0 2 UUID=...
My R5S has 4GB RAM, 16GB Flash
Are you trying the images here: https://download.friendlyelec.com/NanoPiR3S ?

Also, FriendlyWrt, you need to connect remotely. So, get it on the network then I think it's http://192.168.2.1

Make sure your USB power supply is good too. Maybe try a different one.

Docker forwards various ports that don't show up in Luci: forwarding.png You can restrict access to the LAN by specifying the NanoPi IP address in the docker-compose.yml adminer: image: adminer:latest restart: unless-stopped ports: - 10.0.0.1:8082:8080 networks: - my-network This can be useful if yo...
After finally getting my R5S running from NVMe, I've been having much better success with Docker. I thought I'd share some of my config. My R5S is running off an internal 500GB NVMe, a 128GB would be adequate. I've setup a 14GB swap partition, but I've never seen its use go over 20%, so I imagine a ...
This is working after upgrading to rk3568-sd-friendlywrt-23.05-docker-20240703.img

Maybe that's just a coincidence, but whatever, it's working.
When I run `docker stats` I get: WARNING: No memory limit support WARNING: No swap limit support WARNING: No cpu cfs quota support WARNING: No cpu cfs period support WARNING: No cpu shares support WARNING: No cpuset support WARNING: No io.weight support WARNING: No io.weight (per device) support WAR...
This is how I got my NanoPi R5S booting from NVMe: Tips: If the Pi isn't booting after installing NVMe try a better power supply. If your SD Card gets corrupted, stick it in a digital camera to format it. Use small SD Cards, like 2GB or 4GB. The firmware img file is a copy of a drive. Inside the img...
I made a new img with dd sudo losetup -fP rk3568-sd-friendlywrt-23.05-docker-20240606.img losetup -a # check your loop number here and use it instead of 39 sudo dd if=2.dtbo.img of=/dev/loop39p3 bs=1M ls -al This new image is just to point the SD Card to the NVMe. We've just replaced partition 3 wit...
I can't mount the partition: root@FriendlyWrt:/mnt# mount /dev/mmcblk0p3 /mnt/mmcblk0p3 mount: /mnt/mmcblk0p3: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mmcblk0p3, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. But I can extract rk3568-sd-friendlywrt-23.05-docker-20240606.img with 7-zip...
My R5S has crashed a few times when I'm trying to setup an external USB 2.5" SSD as a network share. I can create the EXT4 partition and map it on Windows, but when I try to use it, the R5S crashes. Is it a power issue or something else? Edit: I tried with a different drive that has its own pow...
So, I installed my NVMe today and I cloned my SD Card to it like so... # check out your drives first with fdisk -l # or lsblk # copy away... it's best if you've used the smallest SD Card possible in this step. dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/dev/nvme0n1 bs=1M status=progress # then expand the last partition....
How did you partition the NVMe? I notice the SD Card and the eMMC have like 8 partitions? Are they all necessary? I'm hoping I can skip the eMMC step and go straight from SD Card to M.2. Can you just clone the SD onto the M.2? I haven't entirely decided what dist I'll use yet. I just want to run Doc...
