Yanling - XSK NUC Intel Celeron J3160 with OS/2 - ArcaOS 5.0.7

(1/3) > >>

Andi B.:
Just installed ArcaOS 5.0.7 on this little toy - https://www.banggood.com/XSK-NUC-Intel-Celeron-J3160-4GB+64GB-or-128GB-SSD-Mini-PC-Quad-Core-1_6GHz-to-2_24GHz-Pfsense-AES-NI-p-1620981.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN&ID=6135319

Installation went flawless which was a big surprised to me. Only problem - this NUC does have only 2 USB connectors. So when installing from ArcaOS stick there is no connector left for a mouse. You have to do it with the keyboard only.

This NUC has 4 Intel LAN ports on the back which was one reason I bought it. Installer detects them and installs the drivers. I've to test if this NUC works stable with at least 2 NICs and heavy network traffic. Another Advantech board with 2 NICs which I'm using now for my firewall crashes now and then with heavy network load.

Hi Andi B.

Please post the PCI.exe report, so I can include it on the wiki.

Everything is working? The 4 LAN ports? Audio?, Video?
What about the two HDMI ports, does it only works one or both display the same video? Which video driver are  you using?

About the installation, did you have at hand some USB hub to connect the mouse and keyboard on the same USB port? Maybe it can work.

Does the com port works? What is that? a serial port in RJ45 format?

Thanks for sharing.
Regards

Update: Opps, wrong link, it had been corrected.

I'm still setting up the system to my needs. Not much tested until now. All 4 LAN ports where detected and driver was installed. The seem to work. But no clue if the work stable with much load (this is the problem with my current PCM9310 and the reason why I play with this NUC) Currently I use only one port but need 2 LAN ports in the future.

Panorama. Install with default values. I've attached a 1600x1200 monitor which works. As expected the connector which have the monitor attached at boot time gets the video signals. Not tested with 2 displays. No reason for that. What would be the benefit of 2 displays showing the same picture? We don't have multi head since ages. There's no ancient Matrox and ATI card inside so I see no reason to test SNAP in VESA mode here.

I've made a quick test with an unpowered USB3 hub but that did not work. I don't have any other spare hubs here to test.

It's good to know that the ArcaOS installer needs the <ALT> key additionally to the usual accelerator key. F.i. use <ALT> <N> to press button ~Next.

Not tested until now but I'm confident it will work. Will do it sometimes. In BIOS the default definition is for the usual COM1 settings. In c't magazine the pinning is described for the RJ45. I definitely need it when the other things work reliable. Testing stability with 2 LAN ports is the first step for me.

Btw. mem -v show nearly 3GB. There's a setting in BIOS which defaults to 2.75GB. I set it to max. 3GB.

Thanks Andi B.

I had updated the Wiki page: https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php/Yanling_XSK_NUC_Intel_Celeron_J3160

It seems that you need to update the database file (PCIDEVS.TXT) for pci.exe since a lot of the devices on the report show was Unknown, but I was able to list the ones that you report are working.

Just a little question, Does this device has UEFI Bios? did you put it on "Compatibility mode"?

Are you going to use this as a firewall? I would love if you can let me know on the future, once you finish this project and get the results, which software are you using on this ArcaOS machine and see if we can make a little article on the wiki.

Regards.
