Is there a way to increase the default size of USB boot

[dinhchinh82]

As current setting, the size of armbian partition after booting is only around 2.5GB even the real size of USB boot storage is 16/32GB. Is there away to increase the default size of armbian partition to 4-5GB? This setting will be better for installing some application/lib before cloning the whole data from USB to eMMC. Thank you.

sudo ./rebuild -d -s 5000 -k 5.4.160

Fork repo, custom rootfs size compilation.

https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian#detailed-build-compile-command

Specify the size of the root partition in MB. The default is 1024, and the specified size must be greater than 256. Such as -s 5000

Great. thank you so much for very quick support .

@ophub I have used Mac M1. Is able to build your armbian firmware directly under Mac OS M1?

[ophub]

My local is built on ubuntu installed on esxi of x64. Currently the whole process can be implemented on github Actions. Maybe you are the first builder on M1.

I'm trying to build on the Ubuntu 18.04 on my Oracle cloud first. If it takes much time, I will try to build on M1 later. Thank you.

I've tried to build on Ubuntu 18.04 and got the error as below

When compiling locally, install the missing dependency packages according to your local situation. your error: ./rebuild: line 91: svn: command not found Not downloaded to the kernel file

I've tried to follow your instruction but got stuck here

The dependencies currently installed on each machine are different. Some have already been installed on your machine, or there are alternative software packages, just ignore them.

https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian#use-github-action-to-build

This project can be compiled directly on github. Same as local compilation. I heard that Oracle’s free cloud host is free forever, but the account will be blocked somehow. When using Oracle, I’m not sure if I can connect to it next time.

I guess the reason may be from I'm using Ubuntu for ARM version, not x86.

I will try to use Github action tonight.

It's fine to close this issue now.

for ARM:

sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get full-upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install -y $(curl -fsSL git.io/armbian-kernel-server)

[dinhchinh82]

for ARM:

sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get full-upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install -y $(curl -fsSL git.io/armbian-kernel-server)

Let me try. Thank you so much.

[dinhchinh82]

sudo apt-get install -y $(curl -fsSL git.io/armbian-kernel-server)

I've passed the above command for Arm but still got error as below. Please suggest any solution if any.
