Armbian as well?

Updated yesterday:

Armbian works, but its not graphic and as you recall I need OpenGLES2.0 support

My monitor is not giving any error, just the black screen.

I've downloaded it twice and burned on 2 different cards but the K1 seems to get stuck on a boot system, screen goes to black and then nothing. The green LED is pusing so something is working, but no other progress. The Friendly core image xenial image does work, though takes a while to boot, sadly ...

any update on this?

I was a little confused by the images, but then realised that I wasn't able to get it to boot from the SD card, and instead downloaded the burner version to create a new eMMC boot, which works fine My only issue with it so far is that I can't get some of my code to work, it has trouble creating an X...

I downloaded the Lubuntu desktop images file and uncompressed it but now I have 10 files, which do I burn to an SD so I can get an SD to boot, and leave the emmc as Android? Edit...ah its ok I worked it out, it seems you can't have a dual boot, so I have Lubuntu on and working fine, but... apt-get u...

I got the current latest from armbian

network is fine, checked connection was ok from other devices, maybe the board was not connecting properly I'll look again.

ok, thanks for the update, yes I know its not a simple matter to port from one to the other I will use the old one for now

thanks

I'm on a windows 8.1 machine and tried this on my NanoPi neo, installed armbrian ok, board clearly boots and the LED is blinking and running fine, but no pop up serial console... I've never used a board without a monitor before so am quite confused about how to get connected to it to log in and cont...

I do actually have a nanopi neo, and worked out it has an ip address of 192.168.178.36 on my network, but frankly I have no idea how to log into it...I've never used a board with no graphics before. if you can tell me how to log it in, I can probably help with the VS2017 issues, but until I can log ...

Strange I just set up a new project to do the exact thing and it worked no problem though on an M1, not the neo I can't see the image you are posting, so not sure what is going wrong for you, you should be able to get the hello world console project to work. send me your email in pm I'll contact you...

whats the password? I used fa as a login password for user fa but I can't do any kind of sudo operation as it refuses to accept it giving fa is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported it does however work if you login as root with password fa I should also note, that its not possible...

It was working fine in the older version of Debian, is there no way to transfer that over? Being unable to open an EGL window is a serious restriction for any form of graphic usage

Are you trying to use the Raspberry Pi toolchain? That won't work, the Raspberry ARM CPU is quite different from the Nano Pi You need to configure it to use the on board GCC build tools that are supplied on the Nano Pi Just create a new project using one of the options apart from Blink, Console is a...

The later version of Debian 4.14.0 is unable to initialise an EGL instance, giving a
"UMP: ump_arch_open() failed to open UMP device drive" error

This seems to be an error in the build rather than any kind of update I can make to it.

Is it possible to fix it?

Good to hear, but it has been out for some time do you have any idea of when? I cannot stress enought that, without graphics divers this board is painfully hampered, and it could be a class leader!

Hi I know its not very common to do graphics programming with these boards but its something I like to do. I was porting a Linux test demo to the M3 and no matter what I do I cannot seem to get EGL to initialize causing a total failure to gain graphics. There are no onboard OpenGLES2 drivers in the ...

I like this new A64 board, but I would like to buy it with a case, has one been designed yet or will it fit in an existing design?

Thanks I will try this and let you know soon.

To follow up on the OpenGL question posted elsewhere..

When can we expect to see working OpenGLES2.0 and EGL drivers available for the T3 and M3? Its a pity to have all that CPU power hampered by lack of GPU drivers?

No, these machines are not capable of running native OpenGL, they are designed around a more restricted but still quite functional version called OpenGLES2.0 Sadly though at the moment the drivers are not available on the current builds on the M3/T3, there may be some acceleration built into the cur...

No, for reasons that are related to the project I am working on, I make no changes at all to the supplised OS's I run them exactly as supplied, apart from doing an upate and updagrade on them Its actually all fine now, as with most Nano's make sure its connected to the network before you turn it on ...

Can someone tell me how to get the sound (for example from the transformers demo vid) out of the HDMI?

I can't find any settings on Debian to let me route the sound

edit....I changed the SD card, and it now boots...1st rule of new hardware...check the SD card :D As usual though, the delay in finding an IP address holds up the boot. But its up and running now, in 720p, I wish you guys would supply a 1080 build as well, not all of us know how to make new versions...

Hi can you help me with a strange problem I just received my M3 today and after burning the latest version of the Debian build to an 8GB class 10 card, and inserting it, I find the M3 does not boot The red and blue light comes on, and I get either a rainbow pattern on screen, or a Friendly Arm logo ...

Hi, sorry but I have no idea how to provide start info, I'm not a linux user and find the OS confuising, I only boot it up to allow SSH access to the machine for my projects

But I did manage to get it to aquire its IP if I left for a few minutes or hooked it up to a shared router.

Thank you that is useful.

:D that didn't actually answer my question :D Which is specifically about the GPU which is a Mali 400MP but is it MP1 or MP2 or more? I suspect its just an MP1 which is a shame. The 8 cores make this a very powerful CPU, but a single core GPU means it lags far behind the Odroid XU4 with its 6 core M...

Just a note, that this is still happening, I had forgotten that it takes a while to allocate an IP address and am currently waiting again for my M1 to finally report one....Is there some way to speed this process up?

Hi having an odd problem with my M1, it did work last time I tested it out, but today I came to use it, and hooked it up to my laptop before powering it up After powering up, I went to a terminal to enter ifconfig so I could set up an SSH connection via Visual Studio, but the M1 does not seem to hav...

Awesome, thank you, I'll let you know how I get on when the board arrives

hmm since I don't actually use Linux, I really don't have any understanding how to do this....also I am deliberately trying to use only versions of Debian supplied by board makers for my project.

Is it possible you can supply an image with a higher res ?

could it also have multi core GPU?

Thanks for that, is it single core?
MP1?

The NPi 2 does get very hot, with use, but not usually at boot up, I fitted a small heat sink on mine just out of paranoia, rather than any issues I might have. Its really not a bad thing to do on any board which has hot chips, they will last that little bit longer for a tiny investment. The stickin...

To come back to this, I hope you're not as busy now, but I know you have new machine coming out. according to the Wiki... for the NanoPi2 to alter the resolution I have to do this When the system boots our uboot will check whether it is connected to an LCD or an HDMI monitor. If it recognizes an LCD...

ok, so long as its ready when my board arrives its ok.

I'm excited by this, the other Octocore systems on the market are expensive and not always up to the task or don't provide access to all cores in an app. I hope this one turns out to be the board that really makes octocore units popular. I am still a little underwhelmed by the apparent choice of GPU...

Its always hard to get info on Samsung chips GPU, but can someone tell us what is in the T3, it appears to be a single core Mali 400 I must admit to being a little disappointed, all that CPU power but a rather limp and old Graphic system, If it had a multi core or more up-to-date Mail chip it could ...

Hi, nice to see a T3 section has been added, I just wanted to make sure the T3 Image link to google drive for download have now been fixed. At the moment it just opens up another page of the same download link.

Ah I found it, The wiki said something about WifiAP and I noticed my PC sometimes found a NanoPi2 transmitter I used this command in a terminal su turn-wifi-into-apmode no and then went back to the wifi manager and it now sees all my networks and allows a connection and update. Still stuck on screen...

Hi, I have come back to my Pi2 to try out some work, since it only has a wifi connection option I assumed it would be quite secure and easy. But after burning a fresh SD card with Debian, I find I have a couple of issues. 1 the screen res... its only 720 I would like it 1080, but this is minor 2 the...

anyone monitoring this forum?

Please fix the download link on the wiki page, it loops back to itself, so there is no way to download a T3 img

Hi, not sure if this is the right place, but you don't seem to have a T3 section yet. I just ordered one, it will be an interesting comparison with my Odroid and Banana Pi octo-core systems. But I am unable to download an OS, your google drive link seems to be faulty, can you please fix it? I'd like...

I've resolve most of them now, mainly a lack of information.

Ah I forgot to do this

apt-get install libgles2-mesa-dev

It may well still be software rendering but my code for now is working.

I'm still having issues getting hold of OpenGLES2.0 libraries and headers for the M2

the M1, was no problem, but I cannot locate anything for the M2, can someone at FA please advise?

yes I manged, but as a non Linux user I was initially quite confused by what I should replace sdx with

Its all good now that, my M1. Pi2 and M2 are all running fine. I am finding the Debian to be ok, though missing libraries for GDB and OpenGLES2, I was able to locate them though.

never mind, it just seems to be very slow at allocating an IP address, up to 5 mins....
but I have it now thanks
