Did you installed all with the sripts included in NAFABox config ?
And what about bluetooth. Did it worked just "out of the box" after installation ?

Thanks for the feedback Petarm, we do need it to improve and cover various issues that may arise.

Could you confirm as Patrick mentioned that the Nafa image worked fine? Or how you managed to get keyboard / bluetooth resolved?

Is the ethernet port on the USB bus?

What does lsusb command say?

ok, Ill go through my process:

1. The first thing i tried was your image NAFABox.img. That all worked ok except for BT and I still cant get BT to work.

2. I then flashed the ELARSystem image, downloaded the NAFA confi zip from git and installed it via ./go/sh went through the whole install process fine. I could VNC to the tinkerboard. After a restart, the VNC would not work, so i tried to reconfigure it with the desktop scripts that were create and the scripts would not run, see images below. Doing this on the NAFABox install (point 1 above) the scripts ran ok and I could reconfigure my hotspot. Other than the hotspot issue with this install method, everything else worked, i could connect to the mount and joystick via BT, my CCD worked etc.

3. In both installations what it did notice was that when my mount connected, it would automatically start to slew at about 64X slew rate, so i had to manually Abort the process. Could not work out why.

Anyways, thank you all for your help.

Hi Sebriviere, only BT did not work for me on the NAFABox.img and i still have not resolved this.

To change the language, i looked at my rpi3 ubuntu mate install to help me navigate through the French version on NAFABox. I noticed that English was installed on the NAFABox image. So i did this and was able to change the language. Again, all manually.

Hi kecsap,
Ill check this as soon as i can and post the output of lsusb.

Hi all, i will try this method over the weekend, refer to steps 3 and 8:

Hello Petarm
Thanks to your efforts. I guess the install issues come essentially from 2 sources: first, language which condition some install options; second, the original image Armbian or ELAR that might not have the same kernel nor same initial Desktop. I will try in next days to install a full english version using ELAR and Armbian image. Might be the reason of the BT dysfunctionning too. I am now testing the last compiled Armbian version which use the 4.12 kernel. I hope BT will work. If all looks good this could be in the next image. I plan to build 2 images one in french the other in english.

His patdut.

So I tried all those things in my posted with no luck. I'll wait for your new image and try again. Its very cold here and clear. Perfect for imaging. Have a good weekend.

Thanks Petarm for your tenacity.
You're lucky with cold clear skies, french brittany is stormy right now.
hopefully means clouds will clear faster.

hi patdut,
i noticed that some changes have been pushed to NAFABox to GIT. Should i try again?
regards

No worries, unfortunately for my sanity, i dont give up.
So the next thing i tried was creating a staticIP to try to RDP to it (which is how i view my desktop on my rpi3). Again no luck.
My laptop could see the hotspot and connect to it, but i could not RDP to the tinker board (even though i went through the exact same process to create the static IP on my rpi3, which runs ubuntu mate 16.04).
regards
