Hi,
I have a J4205-ITX board, base on Apollo Lake, HD graphics 505, and have probleme to run Volumio. Boot is very slow. USB key is working well on other PC, but not on J4205. I have also sometime issue with Daphile for exemple, slow boot but finally works on USB key or HD. But not Volumio. I try to use unetbootin, USBwriter, Rufus… , to boot in UEFI or standard, still with no succes. I have one previous version that was finally working (I do’nt remember which one), but no more with 2.201 or 2.164.
Current version of Ubuntu works well on J4205.
Driver issue? Graphic?

AsRock j4205 with 8GB of Ram (overkill i know) and its running on a 64GB Sandisk extreme usb3.0 drive.
The system is painfully slow and sluggish to respond. Tried to play some FLAC files from another usb stick i had lying around (as mentioned away from my main system so can’t really test mounting NAS drives). Listening through on-board audio device (recognized as Intel in the menu). The music would have so many stops and hiccups it was not possible to listen to. Played some mp3’s as well just to test if file size was an issue. Nothing changed.
Overall the whole experience is extremely slow, even more sluggish than on an rpi3 with a 10K library loaded
Tried a restart to see what gives. I got to see the progress bar of “Started load kernel modules”, it was loading that slow. Even the startup sound was played with a gap. After reboot the system seems to be even slower than the first boot after install.
I am sure the hardware is fast enough, so this must be a software issue.
Any ideas?
I dont have a problem yet,
I want to buy the same board. To avoid if there are still problems with it.
THANKS
sorry, i had to re-read the thread to see what the issue was and how far we got (too long ago).
The situation is as follows, there is no sufficient support in the official Volumio release for Intel Apollo based boards right now, some work, others don‘t. It is very firmware and kernel dependent.
After the feedback I got from the thread, no further test versions were done, so a new status can only be given after we have a next beta image with the latest kernel and firmware.
We are still working on that version, it is based on Debian buster.
Progress is not far enough to give a beta date.
Ok, tnx. I try another platform.
