A20 / Wich board to correctly move O...

Last post by oly - October 12, 2026, 02:24:18 PM

Hello,

Five years ago, I bought a LIME2 SERVER package (no more available) with

- 1 A20-OLinuXino-LIME2
- 1 metal box for it
- 1 metal case for SATA HDD
- 1 shield to connect HDD to OlinuXino, linking the box to the case
- 1 power supply


Nowdays, your product line offers many references for A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 with different options.
I've just bought a T2-OLinuXino-LIME2-IND and tryed to use your tool 'olinuxino-sd-to-sata'.
Doing so, I discover that without SPI flashmemory, I need to keep the SD card pluged inside the board so that the system can boot from HDD.
This is not what I want ...

Should I buy the T2-OLinuXino-LIME2-s16M-IND  version in order to use it only from    an SATA HDD (without SD card) ?

Hi all,

My Prophet server for the Neo6502 is online: https://prophet.3617.fr

It works with bocianu's prophet.neo client:

Code Select Expand

set server prophet.3617.fr
set port 8998
You can also browse the catalogue in a web browser and play most programs there. Wolfenstein 3D (beta) is available too.

Feedback welcome!

I got Debian 13 trixie on mine. The rootfs is on the SD card, and I forgot how I installed it. Probably I did upgrade from bookworm image to trixie at some point. I also have LVM + LUKS set up at boot.

ESP32-P4-DevKit seems to be in stock at Digikey USA. You can also purchase it directly form our web-shop, we ship to the US.

Can you share where you purchased it?  I can't find it at Mouser or Digikey in the US.

Hello,

Thank you for your help.
I confirm it is the /etc/default/keyboard file (corrected in my initial post).

I'll try this ASAP and let you know.

First, can you confirm whether the filename is /etc/default/keyboard rather than /etc/default/keymap?

Please then try:

sudo setupcon --save-only
sudo systemctl restart keyboard-setup.service

If this changes the keyboard to French, reboot and check again. keyboard-setup.service can load a compiled keymap from /etc/console-setup/; that cached map may still contain the original US configuration. If reboot still restores US, please post what you get with these:

systemctl status keyboard-setup.service --no-pager --full
systemctl is-enabled keyboard-setup.service
journalctl -b -u keyboard-setup.service --no-pager
ls -l /etc/console-setup/cached*
grep -E 'loadkeys|cached_.*kmap' \
    /etc/console-setup/cached_setup_keyboard.sh 2>/dev/null

A20 / Persistent keymap doesn't work

Last post by oly - October 07, 2026, 09:10:25 PM

Hello,

I use the last A20-OLinuXino-bookworm-minimal-20260323-113959.img on a fresh new SD card with a LIME2.

By default, on system start, the keyboard seems to be mapped with US (or GB).
I use a french keyboard so I tried to set the correct keymap and locales.
No problem with locales but I didn't achieve to get persistent FR AZERTY keymap.

The /etc/default/keymapkeyboard seems correct :

Code Select Expand

# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="fr"
XKBVARIANT="azerty"
BACKSPACE="guess"
XKBOPTIONS="terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"

I tried many things from https://wiki.debian.org/Keyboard :

https://wiki.debian.org/Keyboard#Basic_keyboard_configuration_.28Kernel_and_X.29 => no change, still US before and after reboot.
https://wiki.debian.org/Keyboard#Manual_configuration_of_keyboard => no change, still US, still US before and after reboot.
https://wiki.debian.org/Keyboard#How_to_set_keyboard_layout_in_initramfs => no change, still US before and after reboot.
https://wiki.debian.org/Keyboard#How_to_dynamically_activate_Linux_console_settings => changed to FR but not persistent. Go back to US after reboot, as supposed.

Any idea or help welcomed
