Note to anyone else who happens to want to set up an #ODroid N2 using the HardKernel images: somehow their Ubuntu 22.04 image comes with an obsolete version of FFmpeg installed, that takes precedence over the one that is installed by Ubuntu.

I ended up having to randomly rm files from the filesystem to make it work right >_<

I wonder if I should have looked if anyone had a more sensible image instead.

I just moved my instance from N2+ (aka Home Assistant Blue) to a VM. It was as easy as backup and restore, thanks to a VM creating script from here: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/installing-home-assistant-os-using-proxmox-8/201835

This guy’s experience with using a 5 as a “regular” desktop computer was interesting. Fun to know that you can do so many things with a computer just a bit bigger than a tin of Altoids. I have an N2 gathering dust here which used to be my media center interface before I graduated to Firesticks and , I might stand that up as a play PC one day when the man cave has a bit more room.

We finally printed the right brackets and attached the speakers. The comb for scale; printed after calibrating the hyper PLA used for the case.

Homemade console: Speakers added with brackets for game sound.

After a week of late nights, I confirmed a software stack for hardware accelerated 2D game development on the ODROID-N2L: Linux 6.1, Panfrost driver, Ubuntu 22.04, Wayland, Bevy Engine 0.10. So today, we assembled for a demo.

Touchscreen unit, single-board computer and components before assembly.
Connecting the units with HDMI and USB-micro cables.
Assembly complete. Holding the units how they should mounted into a case.

Spent the evening assembling a replacement for my small home server/NAS.
It went together pretty easily and the form factor is nice and small.

I went with:

  • Odroid H3+
  • 32GB DDR4
  • 256GB NVMe SSD
  • 2 4TB WD Blue SSDs
  • type 3 case

Photo of the Odroid H3 and 2 WD Blue 4TB drives installed in the type 3 case without the sides attached.
Front of the type 3 case with installed power button.
Back of type 3 case with Odroid H3 I/O exposed.

nice, followed the advice to disable uas due to stalling/performance/logspam trouble on the #odroid which turn now gives me full smart readings and ... well ...

hm do i read correctly that its quite common to get oops with #btrfs on #odroid machines? at least coming from manjaro, now being on debian with kernel 6.3, i can reproduce. its fine for very lightweight operations but its not a fan of rsync or timemachine.

Auf welchem System habt ihr #homeassistant laufen... bei mir bleibt manchmal der Raspberry Pi 4 hängen und nur ein reboot hilft.

smartwater,

@firestar

Habe ich mit einem pi3 auch, jeden Montag früh hängt er.
Habe seit locker 2 Jahren auf einem N2 mit Karte an laufen. Läuft dort einwandfrei. 👍

I just cannot believe how cheap these streaming sticks are now! Two or three years ago I bought an n2 to play streamed content from my PC and also locally off a HD. Separately had to buy a FLIRC infrared dongle so I could control it with a separate Logitech harmony remote. N2’s don’t have built in wifi so had to get a USB 5G standalone rabbit ear adapter. And a separate HDMI cable. And MicroSD card to hold the device OS. And it doesn’t support Dolby Vision. And all up it cost me around $150.

are selling Amazon 4K models right now for $17. With remote, hdmi cable, power and built in , and 802.11ax Wi-Fi. SEVENTEEN DOLLARS FOR EVERYTHING. I just got back from a trip where I plugged the FS into the hotel TV and was instantly able to pick up where I left off on a couple of shows and stream all my bookmarked shit, no muss nor fuss. If I had Plex installled I’d be able to stream off my PC at home as well. Purely insane.

Everyone remind me that tonight I have to swap SD cards in my C2 based thing. It's dying and I'll lose everything if I don't do it. Which would mean no printing, no media, no DNS... no nothing. My life depends on the survival of a tiny 128GB card.
