April 4 Build Available
Looks like there is a new Ubuntu build available Here
Not sure if it's because I FUBARed up my March 15 build, but I'm idling about 200mA lower than I was before. Now at 418mA with a 3TB drive spun down. I got sustained SMB reads in the 94MB/s range (60MB/s avg). 
Nice work guys!
Comments
I've noticed with this build, as with the prior that
shutdown -h 0doesn't work. Is this expected? It seems thatshutdown -r 0is reliable.the lower USB2 port is working from the start for me with this build
Wifi is working at least better than before. Anyone else try to run wifi standalone from bootup? I can get wifi to connect fine, but only when/after ethernet is plugged in. I get a driver rejection error in wpa_supplicant if i try to run wifi without ethernt connectivity first. Once ethernet is plugged in, poof the supplicant error goes away and wifi connects. I can disconnect the ethernet and the board stays on the network (decent throughput too, for a cheap 1x1 802.11ac adapter) until it reboots and then the error comes back. Im not sure if its a loopback thing or what (maybe needs ipv4 of some sort before supplicant will work?) I didnt get much time to troubleshoot yet.
I downloaded it and used Etcher to flash it to an SD card.
It boots automatically when I plug it into the board and turn it on... Is there any way to slow it down? I'd like to change the disk layout if possible. (If this is not possible... does anyone have any suggestions on how to do it from windows before I start using it? Windows disk management tells me I have 27G unalloted space, and I can't do anything at all on the board because it says I am using 100% of my 4G of disk space...)
firefly posted another build today 16.04-20180514 and some news about mainline

@navyblue the partition and filesystem should extend automatically when it first boots up. I never saw issues with this not happening in the releases so far. If its not doing that for some reason, you can do it yourself pretty easily with growpart and resize2fs.
ANyone have any idea what the new
Armbian_5.45_Roc-rk3328-cc_Ubuntu_xenial_default image user and password is?
The readme.txt says firefly/firefly. That doesnt work. Nor does root/root or root/firefly any ideas?
Nevermind.
It was root/1234
This image seems even slower than the Ubuntu one when browsing.
I have heard that ext4 wears out flashram a lot quicker due to the nature of journaling filesystems. Is there any reason why BTRFS or something else that is designed with flash memory in mind not used?

Thanks - the newer build worked without issue.
