13:05 <Dex2x> Hi all, is there anything special needed to get a M.2 to SATA converter working? Do I need some overlay added ?

13:06 <Dex2x> oh with an orangepi 5 board

13:15 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> I think there is an overlay for sata, check /boot dtb overlay folder

13:18 <Dex2x> there is, a few actually, the orangepi-5-sata should be correct here, interesting there is already a over_prefix

13:20 <Dex2x> hopefully I can boot

13:24 <Dex2x> Rebooted, even did a `sudo update-initramfs -u` and nothing :/

13:29 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> dunno, never used sata on this board

13:30 <Dex2x> weird one forum, says I need to alter the overlay_prefix=orangepi-5 , to that, and then overlays=sata

13:30 <Dex2x> but my prefix already has rockchip in

13:30 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> prefix might be incorrect. There is inconstency on overlays across rk35xx socs unfortunately

13:30 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> You can use debug serial console to check uboot logs whether it loads the sata overlay or path/name is wrong

13:31 <Dex2x> the initramfs step is needed though right?

13:31 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> I don't think so

13:36 <Dex2x> aah yeah updating the overlay_prefix did something

13:38 <Dex2x> thanks @Werner

13:38 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> great

13:39 <Dex2x> I have a orangepi 5 ultra, arriving soon hopefully, not sure if I will do the debian image, or the orange pi OS(arch) this time

13:41 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> Armbian support for max and ultra is csc. May work, maybe not

13:42 <Dex2x> Is the debian bullseye orangepi shows, based of armbian

13:43 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> A few years ago Orangepi forked an old version of the Armbian build framework, replaced "Armbian" with "orangepi" and now building their images from this.

13:44 <Dex2x> Is that their Orangepi OS, or still just now "debian" ?

13:44 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> I don't know what's the difference, I never checked their images

13:45 <Dex2x> ha lol folder is empty :/

13:45 <Dex2x> What did you load then ?

13:45 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> what do you mean?

13:45 <Dex2x> which distro did you pick ?

13:46 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> I use Armbian on all my sbcs

13:46 <Dex2x> ah okay

13:46 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> just out of interest, but is the M.2 to SATA adapter an active PCIe-to-SATA with an M.2 connector? or is it a passive one designated specifically for that board?

13:46 <Dex2x> I know with my rpi2, I used to use armbian, but the hdmi to vga adapter just would not work well with it, swapped to arch-arm and tit just worked

13:47 <Dex2x> It's just a M.2 slot with pins weird to the sata port, there isn't any chips on it

13:47 <Dex2x> You do get with a controller on, but then its like 5 SATA ports

13:47 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> rpi2 isn't support afaik. Only 3, 4 and 5 series

13:47 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> *supported

13:48 <Dex2x> armbian used to support rpi2

13:48 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> Ah I see. Maybe that was updated at some point

13:49 <Dex2x> Okay I have no idea anywhere what I did to this OS, it reads armbian, uses ubuntu for the source list urls

13:49 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> armbian exists in both debian and Ubuntu flavours

13:49 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> because Ubuntu is really just debian with a silly hat on

13:50 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> true

13:50 <Dex2x> lol yeah

13:53 <Dex2x> Well okay, the board now lies very exposed, but it works, I can now finally run ddrescue on this drive, and not have to boot a full desktop :D

15:54 <SymbioticFemale> i'm trying to use the (community) image for Radxa Zero W3, got an issue with wifi firmware

15:55 <SymbioticFemale> rwnx_load_firmware :firmware path = /lib/firmware/aic880/SDIO/aic8800D80//fw_patch_table_8800d80.bin

15:55 <SymbioticFemale> rwnx_load_firmware: fw_patch_table_880d80.bin file failed to open

15:55 <SymbioticFemale> finally says "wrong size of firmware file"

15:59 <SymbioticFemale> (note: minor errors possible, typed all that manually)

16:18 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <nicolospingola> hiya, i'm trying to build a custom image for my banana pi m5 via the armbian build tool and I was wondering if there were any resources on how to setup everything so that I already have a default user, with some apt packages, wi-fi connection and ssh key setup. I saw something about cloud-init (i'm trying to use ubuntu 22.04 lts) but no in-depth resources. does anybody have any p <clipped message>

16:18 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <nicolospingola> ointers? thank you very much in advance for any and all help 🙂

16:19 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <nicolospingola> i've got something that might work using customize-image.sh, adduser, chpasswd and apt-get for everything but the wi-fi connection part, that's the bit I'm most unsure about

16:24 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> afaik cloud-init isn't supported OOTB, but there's https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Autoconfig/ some limited support for pre-configuring an image, and if you *really* want, you can hook the end of the script that does it to call another script

16:25 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> ideally you'd use netplan directly for networking, but the answers file supports it too

16:25 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> Either as mentioned above use first boot config or customize image while assembly using https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_User-Configurations/#user-provided-image-customization-script

16:27 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> it's a long-term goal of mine to make this easier, though i'm still not certain of how best to do it, and i feel like i'll probably get shouted at or using Nix 😅

16:33 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <nicolospingola> thank you for the directives; if I'm understanding correctly, I can use the `preset-firstrun` extension to configure the root and user accounts, and `customize-image.sh` to install the packages I desire? (PS. I'm not super sure on if it's more approriate to directly apt-get install packages there or use `add_package_to_image`, especially since I'm looking to install ROS2 packages <clipped message>

16:33 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <nicolospingola> which require a special apt repository)

16:42 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> firstrun preset is limited to the things listed in the documentation. With the image customization script you don't have limits. You can adjust users, install packages, modify files.

16:47 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <nicolospingola> are there any examples of more complex `customize-image.sh` files? i've had trouble finding any

16:48 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/config/templates/customize-image.sh.template

16:51 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <nicolospingola> i saw that, but it doesn't seem to set up users or ssh

16:53 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> users can be added with a command like `useradd -m -s /bin/bash mygreatuser` and something like `echo -e "agreatpassword" | passwd mygreatuser`

16:53 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> These commands will be executed in the image while assembly if they're put in the customisation script.

23:02 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <nicolospingola> i got it working in the end, thank you very much for helping me. this community seems very great and helpful 🙂
