My #FriendlyElec NanoPC-T6 got a stand.

Need to do some fixes to it so there is a chance to learn #freecad on a way.

but thankfully there are parts of my #surfhosting tech stack which are fairly settled already:

OS: #LinuxMint; #Debian (with #LXQt if needed, or #BunsenLabs); #OpenWRT

Virtualization: #Proxmox

Hardware: refurb "1-liter" #1LPC business #miniPC from HP, Dell, Lenovo, with mid to high end CPU

Network: #GLiNet and #FriendlyElec #NanoPi routers / network-attached devices; #PiVPN

Phone: #VoipMS with dedicated SIP phone, plus softphone apps for limited use

Power: 90% of everything powered from compact #GaN USB-PD power supplies; 24/7 gear backed by ~15 year old consumer UPSes with drop-in LFP 12V batteries

Another set of patches to send.

#FriendlyElec NanoPC-T6 video outputs work fine.

Left screen is FullHD, right one is 3440x1440. Sound works on both.

Refresh limited to 60Hz (big monitor can do 75).

Booted linux-next to have all required changes.

Two monitors displaying KDE session.

Decided to bring #FriendlyELEC NanoPC-T6 a bit further with features.

USB 2/3 works now, HDMI0 output works, keys works, IR receiver works.

So let get HDMI0 sound working. Hm. kernel shouts on me.

Maybe HDMI1 output then? kernel oopses.

Maybe I should go for something else.

I see that #FriendlyElec has come out with a successor to the NanoPi M4 called the NanoPi M6.

wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/ind

I saw the #NanoPi M6 when looking at the list of boards with platinum Armbian support.

I set up Armbian and installed #LXQt on the M4 yesterday, which is a substantially slower system than the M6, and it's pretty usable for basic low-complexity desktop stuff. Youtube in Chromium with UBlock Lite is pretty serviceable.

the fact it has Armbian platinum support is a selling point. less lock-in to FriendlyElec's custom Debian/Ubuntu releases. #miniPC

hi, we're #FriendlyElec, and we put all our OS image downloads on fucking Google Drive, which blows our quota by dawn, and if you didn't get your download in before then, fuck you. lol! #Chinesium

Notes for December 23-29

Nothing much happened during the holiday season except that in an unusual turn of events, my CM3588 NAS kit killed three of the four SSDs I had in it.(...)

I ran BSA ACS on #FriendlyELEC NanoPC-T6 today. Terrible...

Had to tweak MCFG table to hide segment 1 of PCIe controller (board uses 0+1 to handle x4 m.2 connector). Then got 1024 root ports in addition to 8 existing pcie devices.

No GIC ITS in ACPI tables. And so on and on.

Will have to fork edk2-rk3588 and do some hacks.

The FriendlyELEC CM3588 NVMe NAS Kit

This one took me a long time, and it was actually the third or fourth RK3588 board I got to review–but the timing of its arrival was completely off (it was in the middle of a work (...)

Another #FriendlyElec NanoPC-T6 change merged upstream.

Enabled video output on HDMI1 port (commit says HDMI0 cause code counts them 0/1, device case has 1/2).

Video output stuff is on a way to upstream - done by Cristian Ciocaltea from Collabora.

If someone uses #FriendlyELEC NanoPC-T6 LTS then check this patchset from Jonas Karlman:

lore.kernel.org/all/2024101720

It adds detection of NanoPC-T6 variants into U-Boot so both board variants are now recognized.

NanoPi Zero2 is a tiny, versatile headless PC with Gigabit Ethernet and an M.2 2230 connector for $18 and up

The NanoPi Zero2 is a tiny single-board computer that measures just 49.5 x 4.95 x 29mm (1.95″ x 1.95″ x 1.14″) when placed in an optional case, or just 45 x 45mm (1.77″ x 1.77″) when used without a case.

But it’s a pretty versatile little machine too, with a Rockchip RK3528A quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor, up to 2GB of RAM, an eMMC socket and microSD card reader for storage, and an M.2 […]

My changes for #FriendlyELEC NanoPC-T6 are now in linux-rockchip branch.

Which means that Linux 6.12 may have DeviceTree for both versions of board (2301 and 2310) with several on-board components enabled.

I can go back to ACPI land ;P
