Hi all, First let me thank you for your work. Armbian is fantastic. Thank you. I’m surprised that nobody has asked this question or at least I’m unable to find it on the forum / in docs. My understanding is: 1. Debian x86 Linux kernel is same on all devices since regardless if it is laptop or server, it has BIOS or UEFI that will ”tell” the kernel what hardware, what buses, what addresses, etc. it has… 2. ARM boards don’t have BIOS and therefore Linux Kernel is different for every board. I checked that on my Orange Pi Zero by default the /etc/apt/source.list and /etc/apt/source.list.d/ are default Debian repos and one…

Banana Pi BPI-F2S is the first board with Banana Pi team and SunPlus, this is a industrial-grade board. use Plus1(sp7021) design. this is a industrial-grade board. SunPlus sp7021 is a revolutionary SoC that has the power of a Linux-grade chip and the integration simplicity of a microcontroller.it with ARM Cortex-A7 Quad core,ARM926 real-time core,8051 low-power core Conceived by Sunplus Technology in collaboration with Tibbo Technology, PLUS1 takes all the sophisticated elements typically found in modern industrial-grade embedded Linux chips, adds a plethora of features targeting IoT and industrial control applications, and delivers the result…

In one post here I saw a "please buy hardware we recommend" quote, and I appreciate that, but I wasn't able to find a recommended boards list - is there even one? Or should I just use the standard/platinum support filtering on the main page? Anyway, I could also use some help / recommendation for a general purpose SBC as I ... didn't by one for years. I'm looking for a more recent SBC to run a small, low power server (think pihole, homeassistant, zigbee, etc). I don't have specific requirements, but I'd like the board to have some kind of "long term support" and I'd also like to choose something that the armbian team would recommend, maybe from a manufacturer …

Hi everybody! I'm new on Linux and I have a problem. I burned the Armbian OS on an SD card for a OrangePi PC and I created an User name [dp] and a Password. When I login, instead to see the Desktop image, Armbian seems to wait for a command or something. The OS displays the following text: dp@orangepipc: ~$_ What should I type now to see the Desktop? Anyone want to help me?

I have an Odroid HC2 that will be used as a NAS. I plan to run Ubuntu 18.04, which I can get in either Hardkernel or Armbian flavor. Is there a practical difference between them? Is there a reason to choose one over the other?

Dear all, As said elsewhere, I'm interested in distributed scientific computing, namely BOINC, and more specifically the Einstein@Home project: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ https://einsteinathome.org/fr/home ARM platforms seem to be a good choice for that purpose IMHO. Even though they lack the raw power of x86_64, at least they don't use a lot of energy and don't need active cooling most of the time (I can't stand the noise of a fan ). At the moment I'm running BOINC on two ARM nodes: a Raspberry PI 3 (Raspbian) and a NanoPi M1 (Armbian). Both are quite dated now and don't allow me to contribute much to this project. …

I came across these recently and found several interesting things within, so thought I would share them. I debated posting this in Development, but wanted anyone to be able to see and reply to the thread. Anyway some parts I felt were important enough that I actually took down some notes and quotations, which I will include. Open drivers for Arm GPUs This looks like it was presentation LVC21-318 at Linaro Connect '21 on 2021-03-25. Video is available at above page, and also on ThemTube here. I found this a fascinating presentation. Alyssa contrasts the (proprietary) 'before times' with current situation whi…

I just pay attention. XFCE4 and third software eg chromium in debian 9 has more errors than in ubuntu 18.04. These are errors unrelated to the armbian. Quite simply, the debian developers probably do not test their packages as accurately as ubuntu. These are the dissapearing clocks XFCE panel, the lack of the chromium minimization button, the synaptic correction not working in the search option, and so on. They do not matter to you, but they are important when used by ordinary users in production. I see that you have a lot of images doing Debian 9. If you can already consider doing images ubuntu 18.04. Ubuntu is also faster than debian 9, really feel the difference.

https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspberry-pi-4-on-sale-now-from-35/ I'd be interested to know if it still uses the same binary blob VPU to boot from. Interested in your thoughts, especially tkaiser :-)

Hi Armbian fans and developers, I want to introduce ARM single board computers into one traditional organization with corporate IT that doesn't like changes. I already know what I get from the security team if I ask to deploy Armbian that is build by a relatively small number or volunteers. Security team is OK with Debian (that is not run by commercial company) but they won't be happy with Armbian regardless my recommendation even that I personally trust the Armbian team. The solution is to build the image from source and luckily that can be done thanks to the amazing https://github.com/armbian/build. I've just tried to build image for OrangePi Zero and it…

As a test I updated on a secondary Pihole-Server (buster on NanoPi K1 Plus) the kernel to 5.11.1-dev and at startup Pihole did seem to make some trouble The server isnt getting to the login prompt and on the serial console the last info is "Starting kernel..." I updated some of my SMB-Servers with kernel 5.11.1-deb without problems. Will later try a new resinstall with buster and 5.11.1 and see if Pihole will run on a complete new installation.

I can clearly see the point for the maintainers, but there is an issue with the old boards. For example, I have a cubietruck which I would definitely like it to keep being supported, and I could probably help to maintain it within Armbian. Though I do have only one board which works 24/7. To my understanding, I can not be a maintainer, as I can't test new releases on a productive board. So If no one has two pieces, then the board can not be supported. In this case, I expect that current owners have to freeze kernel updates and keep the board for some more months - years, or try to test and use plain Debian or other distros. Is there any other alternative?

Hi, I installed armbian on my "Orange Pi Plus 2 E" With EMMC. I want to undo EMMC. how? i don't know. Can someone help me please Thanks

Out of curiosity, i have two different builds for the same board, burned it to the same sdcard and ran on the same board and the raid6 numbers are twice as fast for one case. Can anyone give some explanation what this numbers mean (if that means something running a SBC with sdcard)? I am curious to know what settings (or wrong settings) would give such a boost on this? Build one: Spoiler [ 0.625230] raid6: int32x1 gen() 189 MB/s [ 0.795324] raid6: int32x1 xor() 169 MB/s [ 0.965393] raid6: int32x2 gen() 204 MB/s [ 1.135559] raid6: int32x2 xor() 166 MB/s [ 1.305616] raid6: int32x4 gen() 186 MB…

Hello, I'm using Armbian (kernel version 5.0.21-sunxi) on an Olimex a13 SOM. I'm trying to implement wiegand interface on GPIO pins, that means that I have to fire interrupts on 50uS pulses. I solved my problem with writing down a driver capturing edge triggered inputs. So, with some readers (200uS pulses, 1.5ms between pulses) i can get all data, but with other readers (e.g. 100uS pulse, 500uS between pulses) I miss some interrupts (e.g. I have a wiegand42 reader and sometimes I get 41 interrupts, sometimes I get 39 or 36). I read that kernel fires new interrupt only when the previous interrupt function has returned, so I tested it with just addi…

This is using the second ili9341 tiny drm driver (the one not named ili9341) on kernel 5.9.14, running on OrangePi One Plus. Screen seems to be shifted, colors are also off. Seems somewhere in Panfrost it requires the screen to be at least 640 wide and the color depth to be at least 24 or it requires a different set of fonts??? If I disable Panfrost the screen gets back to normal so you can see the whole terminal and the texts are in black instead of yellow and brown. The following benchmark results are from glmark2 running in full screen mode: ======================================================= glmark2 2020.04 =========================…

Hello all. As the question, I want to use the arduino board to detect the distance in three directions at once. the code compiled, uploaded are no problem, but can only return the data on the left, the middle and right are returned 0 value, I will be the left sensor code blocked can only return the data of the middle sensor, the right is still 0 value, the left and middle are blocked can return the data on the right , that is, the three ultrasonic sensors can That is, the three sensors can work separately, but can not return data together.

@tkaiser I'm looking for advice, I'm looking to use a single board computer of some sorts, to run a lightweight linux distro as a watered-down PC. Standard things like Webbrowsing, Netflix (Youtube, etc...), LibreOffice, etc.. can run on. Additionally I've seen some interesting videos of people running Python and I don't really understand the limitations of these boards. Are one of these boards equivalent to a circa 2000 PC? circa 2005? circa 1990s? Ideally I'd like to run a small standalone PC for day to day tasks and maybe some basic python or other coding environments. There's TON's of info online..which I've tried to go through myself, but again there TONs of info on…

I was informed about Armbian today, and so far from what I am reading it looks very promising. I was on the Armbian configuration utility doc page: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Armbian-Config/ But it says nothing on how to start it. whats the command for it ?

Sorry to ask, does anyone have a howto make a h6 board (orange pi 3 lts) work with 264 hw DECODE? All howtos i can find uses old mainline not available to the LTS version Im trying to use VLC and MPV but no hwdec is working.. there is a custom launch parameter? Thank you in advance

I got an older Toshiba AC100 with Tegra processor. Is there a possibility to get Armbian running on this netbook?

I have recently stumbled upon an #armbian channel at FreeNode and noticed that there is a small, but growing, Armbian user community gathering there. It doesn’t seem any developers are there, but since the number of participants has already in double digits, it is fair to say that it is at least an unofficial Armbian user channel. In case you are an IRC person, you are hereby kindly invited to join our idle chatter at: irc://freenode.net/#armbian NB: The forums are still the official communication channel and I made sure to include that in the channel’s topic.

Hi, I am about to buy my first orange pi (PC 2, PC or PC Plus) and I have no idea what case to buy. I plan to use it as VPN server connecting remotely from time to time for three hours to stream video. Are the ones from Xunlong ok? Does it need a fan at all? Are heatsinks a must? Any experiences with Geekworm acrylic ones? I am thinking something like this with a fan: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orange-Pi-PC-PC2-PC-Plus-Acrylic-Case-5V-3A-EU-Power-Adapter-Cooling-Fan-Heat/32818782336.html Since I am here.. I would also ask about the power supply. Are Xunlong ones ok or better go with Geekworm and buy the bundle? Al…

The Orange Pi 4G-IOT page suggest that board uses a 4g module, since in the pic its written "4g module" and an arrow point to a chip. But it's SoC MT6737 has an integrated cellular modem ! So does it uses a module or the integrated modem ? All the chips are covered with a metal shield, so I can't tell.

Hello! Sorry for too high-level description, I'm not an experienced embedded engineer, just an enthusiast. I'm going to try to run a project to build an affordable home video recorder/player and I need a brief insight on the current ones available. I'm currently using A20 and I'm looking for a possible more powerful solutions. Requirements: - At least twice powerful computing power comparing to A20 - Video chip with hardware acceleration support in Linux (not planning to use Android) - SATA with at least 40 Megabytes per second throughput (NOT crappy usb<->sata built-in adapters) - Network stack with at least 300Mbps bandwidth that does NOT affect C…

Hi. Sorry if this is not the best place, I couldn't figure out where to put this. I wanted to download Cubieboard 2 image but all the links I get redirected to lead to 404 (all are linked to v5.24 images). I tried a few others, where Cubieboard (A10) has the same problem while Olimex Lime A10 images download fine. I didn't look at most other boards but I assume some other might be having the same problem.

Hi all, I've been working on a project in educational technology for some time now, and it's been about three months since I started looking into arm-linux and Armbian. About me Goal: sub-$100 computers with 11"or better display. Modular, easy to repair. Successor to OLPC. We will do it better. Backstory: I was with an NGO teaching English and Maths to underprivileged kids in North-East India, and I found that progress was startlingly slow. We were able to spend only two hours a week with these kids, and it was simply not enough. I was aware at the time of apps like Duolingo which were extremely effective due to fact that the student can self-learn on theit OWN TIM…

Hi. I want to experiment building own WiFi-router so it definitely need stable Ethernet and WiFi. Next I want build something like home automation withing this board, so I think it should have a 2GB ram and A53 cores(64bit+performant). Think Sata is not important yet. Maybe way later I will try casting something to tv via WiFi(not HDMI). Of course I'm looking at OPi win plus/prime or Nanopi k2. They are very cheap, but are they of enough quality? Or I should choose something else?

A while ago I did create a armbian-package-information for at the motd of the login: Now the line for the kernel does show 2 versions because there are "Version:" and "Config -Version:" root@npi-neo2-24(192.168.6.24):~# dpkg -s linux-image-$BRANCH-$LINUXFAMILY|grep Version Version: 5.96 Config-Version: 5.96 root@npi-neo2-24(192.168.6.24):~# dpkg -s linux-image-$BRANCH-$LINUXFAMILY|grep Version|cut -f 2 -d ' ' 5.96 5.96 So I had to find another way/command to get the information once I did go back from "dpkg -s" to "dpkg -l" and greped there the version-info: root@npi-neo2-24(192.168.6.24):~# dpkg -l | awk -v env_var="linux-image-$BRANCH-$LINU…

Was looking through Twitter and saw that a message can appear stating that Jammy LTS may be unsupported userspace? I'm presently (with preset kernel build options used and no customisations) Armbian 22.05.0-trunk Focal with Linux 5.15.32-sunxi Apparently my build is on 20.04 LTS? ~$ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=20.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=focal DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS" What would be any advantages and/consequences if someone invokes do-release-upgrade on or after the 21st of April on their SoC board?

I just wanted to support you in your move from ROM to Distro. Having up to date kernels, learning to make up to date kernels and absolutley great compile updates are what separate what you've been doing from other projects. I know quite well that it's not easy doing your own funky tech thing, and wish to congratulate you on seeing it through! Best wishes, a fan of your work! -Jake

Hardkernel team released ubuntu 18.04 mate 1.20.1 for odroid c1, c2, and XU4, on kernels respectively 3.10, 3.16, 4.14. Let's say that the C2 odroid still works. but ubuntu 18/04 at 3.10 C1, with heavy MATE 1.20 it does not really work. It's a misunderstanding. First of all there are problems with graphics and where the rest. Bows to Igor. -)

Hello all, I've been recently burned by a failing SD card (armbianmonitor -v possibly saved me a much worse fate!) and I'm now trying to proactively avoid a similar situation. I found that WD has a line of cards that claim a health status feature that "Helps in preventive maintenance by signaling when the card needs to be replaced". One of them is the Purple QD101 that seems reasonably priced at $15 for 64GB. I'm not finding much in the way of details of how this is exposed though. Is there any way to get access to this information on linux?

Stumbled across while digging through Github. https://github.com/sharkdp/bat Its like code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } cat but has syntax highlight and other cool stuff. Nicely they provide arm and arm64 binaries for lazy people

Hi all, If anyone is interested, I have a Helios64 backup battery pack lying around that I did order back in the day, but never got around to installing/using it. (Have a separate UPS.) From my guess this thing is <6 years old, but again, never seen any charge or discharge. PM me when interested. Groetjes, PS Available for pickup in the San Jose, Bay Area, CA (USA) or can send domestically thru USPS.

Great page, great work ! It would be nice if there were a note, wether a downloadable packet contains GUI. Better still, if there were a list (dpkg -l) of installed packets. I'm looking for a minimal packet like minibian for RasPi for OrangePi PC.

FriendlyARM does introduce the term LTS for SBCs For the following NanoPis the will now promise LTS: - NanoPi NEO Core2-LTS = http://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=69&product_id=211 - NanoPi NEO2-LTS = http://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=180 - NanoPi NEO Air-LTS = http://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=69&product_id=151 This is a quote from their webpage and this products:

Hello, In my work I have 3 or 4 old PanaBoard-ES's which are waiting for purpose to live. https://eu.mouser.com/new/pandaboardorg/pandaboardES/ Is there any way that I can somehow install armbian? I don't want windows and stuff - mainly I'm interested to use it as some kind of servers (i.e. play with Home Assistant). Could someone show me the way? Where to start? Br, Marek

I have several cheap USB to barrel plug (to fit OrangePis, 4.0 x 1.7) adapters here and some seem to start failing. o cut a long story short, does anybody have recommendations on what product to buy to get such a cable with better quality?

Hi Scrolling through the forum I realized how old this SBC is that I purchased but I had no choice since basically all other options are out of stock in my country with lead-times past this year... I am looking for someone that can assist me. I replaced a failed Raspberry Pi 4 with this Banana Pi bpi-m4 board thinking that it would perform and work as a like-for-like replacement. Unfortunately, it is not the case but I am stuck with it. Is there anyone that can assist me to build a 64bit Armbian image? I enjoy Armbian on an Odroid XU4 but the generic and existing Banana Pi images does not work on the bpi-m4. Sadly my software engineering skill…

I would like to consolidate some of my devices into a singular device. I am having trouble coming up with a system which could work. currently my cubietruck crashes all the time, so much that it is now on a 2 hour reboot cycle and still manages to crash. I assume it's a power issue with the 3.5 harddrive. Could also be 3Terbyte drive is too much? Also 60mb/s is a bit slow. I have an asus rt-ac87u which does 802.11ac mimo wireless, but I do not like it's operating system. Also the wireless has issues. So, basically looking for something that can support 802.11ac mimo wireless(extra power?) ethernet ports 4-5 sata drive. I have been starting to look at…

Anybody know a way to reset board (OPI PC) immediatly not going through shutdown process? I'm already logged in (ssh session). I've overwritten SD card by mistake, whole fs has gone, and I cant perform reboot or shutdown command (not found)

Since yesterday I suffer from very poor performance of forums like very long page loading times. Disabling ipv6 on my devices fixes this. Can somebody confirm this behaviour? If so please state where you are connecting from (country).

Igor, Like the new direction... you have the best image for all boards, and I like how you're formalizing it. One thing I noticed, you don't have any SSL during account creation and login. Granted this isn't a bank, but it would be nice if you enabled SSL during login and account creation. Especially these days with all the security breaches we have. Cheers.

A case for "Sticky" Subjects I see a need for "Sticky" Subjects, or a board category for some appropriate discussions: WishBoard support: Let user's provide both a wish list of boards they would like to support, and what they might be willing to do get support for a board. Let me start that on out: How about a NVIDIA Jetson TX1? The drivers are avialable, there is probably good support for getting it off the line, and I would be willing to try to get someone a dev board to work with: http://www.nvidia.com/object/jetson-tx1-module.html Publicity Support: Publicity for armbian means awareness and donations. Let's not forget there must be manufacturer'…

Hi Experts, I am using opi zero with Armbian Ubuntu Xenial image. Wireless is working fine with DHCP but I am facing following issue. If I run ifconfig wlan0 down followed by ifconfig wlan0 up, my network connectivity is not restored. Can anyone please let me know why it is happening?

Hello, is there something like a VirtualBox that can emulate a BP(M1) hardware, that can run Armbian inside? I'm looking for a way to set up a new Armbian system for a BPM1, without having to shut down the running one longer than absolutely necessary. I have done this before with Linux servers: I installed and configured a hole server inside a VirtualBox alongside my normal computer work, then I copied the image to the real disk and swapped the disks, with a downtime of only about 5 minutes. So I was wondering if this was possible with the BananaPi as well.

Hello, I am wondering if someday tutorials will be made available for ones who like the idea of using single board computers for projects, but have not learned to write their own code. Raspberry has an overabundance of people sharing what they have created [this for example https://tutorials-raspberrypi.com/setup-raspberry-pi-node-js-webserver-control-gpios/] I have made use of what I have searched and found to make my website again [my site], but at least for the computer hosting my relay interface I want to use better boards with more RAM. Should I learn to write some code and get the satisfaction of making it work by myself or should I wait for a future…

Hi there, I am about to use an OrangePi Zero to handle the temperature and display some information on a custom contraption related to network. The problem I have is that this contraption will be powered on and powered off at will, without notice. So... I guess that after some time, the Zero running Armbian won't be that happy about being shut off brutally. I have seen some setups with supercapacitors for Raspberry Pis, but has anyone in here tried something similar with the OrangePi Zero? Or anything else that would delay the power loss, so that the board can shutdown properly? I made searches about supercapacitors with Armbian, but only found some…

Hi, I am trying to run armclang on Ubuntu (running in WSL2 on Windows 11). I have downloaded and installed Arm Dev Studio 2022.1 for Linux, by following the instructions in the Getting Started Guide: getting_started_101469_2021.2_00_en.pdf I ran: $ armds-2022.1.sh followed by: $ run_post_install_for_Arm_Development_Studio_2022.1.sh The install appears to have completed ok, but I don't know how to add the license. One would normally use the IDE to do so but I can't get the GUI to work in WSL2 (theoretically WSL2 on Windows 11 supports graphical apps). Is it possible to configure the license from the command line? A long shot: has a…

I copied the system from http://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-pcto a 8GB SD and installed it in OrangePi PC, which works OK withe some other distros. - No connection with SSH - No visual (The card HDMI might be broken.

In order to do a new image in armbian, what is the correct docker baseimage to as parent? The ones I found are for rpi. As i have a bpi, to get it all working do i need a specific bpi baseimage to it?

I have a running obsession with sensors/motors/SBCs and have been creating a collection of C libraries as I learn/conquer each new device. I recently added a few that might interest some of the forum residents here. They include a C library to talk to the RPI Sense Hat, ST Micro VL53L0X time of flight distance sensor, and CCS811 air quality sensor. You can find them all here: https://github.com/bitbank2 If anyone has a sensor/add-on that they would like to program in C from their Orange Pi and there isn't any code available, let me know and maybe I can add it to my collection.

What is the best board below 20USD price range?

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, so moderators, please feel free to move my post. I'm involved in getting some new development boards onto the market and we've based our software as so many others, on Armbian. What would be needed to get official support from Armbian? We're currently on a mix of Armbian with Ubuntu 18.04 and kernel 4.18.x. A bit of information about the hardware can be found here https://project-x.com.tw/ We haven't opened up our git as yet, but it'll be done soon.

Hi, I have been studying Armbian's build script, and I have managed to extrapolate a standalone u-boot build process for my NanoPC-T4 by cherry-picking the relevant commands / patches from the builder repo: https://github.com/tmountain/u-boot-nanopct4 This works well, and it opens the door for additional flexibility for those who need it regarding making the most of their hardware. That said, it raises a few questions. 1) My NanoPC-T4 will not boot without the Armbian patches. The vanilla u-boot does not work out of the box. I reported this issue here, but I'm wondering if the Armbian folks ever try to get patches back into …

I'm setting up a new Armbian system from a cold start. I ran armbian-config and used the personal > welcome option to set the MOTD_DISABLE options in /etc/defaults/armbian-motd. It did not do anything to the welcome screen. I asked for the header tips and updates to be excluded. Looking at the resulting /etc/defaults/armbian-motd file : netadmin@ups-monitor:/etc/update-motd.d$ cat /etc/default/armbian-motd # add space-separated list of MOTD script names (without number) to exclude them from MOTD # Example: # MOTD_DISABLE="header tips updates" MOTD_DISABLE="" ONE_WIRE="" # yes = show 1-wire temperature sensor…

dear friends , fellow pi-experts, i have some old 2.5 and 3.5 HDDs here - its still slightly cheaper than buying new ones off-the-shelf USB HDD drives of the same capacity. So - for the NAS i will use the old ones - and I get to select the HDD of my choice for that enclosure. i use Armbian on several systems - bananapi - udoo-quad - orange pi and others more. I love Armbian! plan; building up a NAS based on a Raspi 3 with a 3.5 " HDD. I just want to set up a samba server in linux (raspbian, armbian, or in debian, in opensuse; here we can do 95% of the config in the graphical YaST tool, only for smbpasswd the…

Hi everyone! I was asked by tkaiser to share something about my PHP control of GPIO pins. I can tell you that I will be happy to do so. Mostly because I'm really extremly good in one thing and that is forgetting how i did something. Now let's cut bulls**t down and start with small introduction of what I'm up to. I'll decsribe what I'm doing and what is working for me so it should all click together as project documentation and tutorial. Also all I'm going to describe is being done on Cubieboard2 (A20) but i guess that it can work almost on any ARM SBC running Debian or Ubuntu. Introduction / Motivation Basically, I'm really interested in connecting low-level …

I'm looking for experience / ideas around an update system. I could pull source from GitHub. I could package up zips, pull them with wget, unzip and overwrite files in the file system with the contents of the zip. Maybe include a script_pre.sh and script_post.sh to run before and after the file copy/replace routine. Any other ideas, suggestions, frameworks?

Hello, Wanted to know if the new orange pc plus pi is supported by armbian??? sorry for my bad english

Wow ... I just discovered "nmtui" to configure Wifi from the CLI / ncurses. No more difficult file editing for Wifi. Nice! nmtui -> "Activate a connection", then select the Wifi network you want to connect to, fill out the password, and you're done. After configuring, the settings appear in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ Only after finding 'nmtui', I found this page https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#how-to-connect-to-wireless Hope this helps others.

Since my current board (Cubieboard 2) has been kicked out of the game, it's time to move on to a new one. Is there any chance to see an Armbian version for the Banana Pi R2 someday? This board is winner for me because of the Dual SATA feature (the router, not so much). If there are no plans for this board, please tell me for how long you'll support the Cubietruck, since it's my second choice. Thx in advance...

I would like to check the authenticity of the Bionic image I downloaded for my Cubieboard 1. However the downloaded .xz file only contains an .img file. The getting started page says all images should be signed. Are the .asc and .sha files typically missing in images for boards without official support?

Hi! First of all I want to thank the people behind this project, you are doing an excellent job. Second, I am new, like very new to this world of SBCs and Linux, decided to experiment new things while being furloughed from my job, as airline pilot in North America. I bought a Rockpi 4C and at first I installed the image from Radxa and joined their forum, and bumped into an post from Igor in which he suggested to try Armbian because things were more easier, and boy was he right about that?! Yes I flashed Armbian Focal (CLI) to my emmc and armbian-config really does the job.. it makes your like way to easier. The image I flashed was the 20.11.6 Focal…

I posted in "Armbian build framework" when it should be in "Allwinner A64, H5 & H6". (It might be useful for other newbs like me if in the right place) https://forum.armbian.com/topic/8192-where-how-can-i-edit-boot-environment-on-the-spi-nor-flash-on-zero-plus/?do=findComment&amp;comment=61853

@JMCC I'm trying to recreate some of this setup for the Rock Pi 4B running Balena OS (based on Debian Buster) and not getting very far. All I need is for Chromium to recognize the GPU for acceleration. I downloaded the .deb files and tried them, but I killed the OS. I'm willing to hire you to do it. Or anyone else if they understand what to do.

Hey, we made a tool that allows us to configure the wireless connection of a headless systems using just a smartphone. The reason was that we often ended up in situations where we prepared a headless system with our full stack (see https://nymea.io) and handed it over to someone else to just it in their WLAN. The target group are end users which are not able to use a console. In an attempt to return something to the community we've created a standalone tool for this to share it with others, BerryLan. At the moment it requires to add the nymeas debian repository and install nymea-networkmanager. You can find all the details about it on https://berrylan.app. I…

Hello, Apologies if this posted in wrong section. I'm running Armbian buster with Linux 5.4.20-sunxi on an Orange Pi 0 (512) and recently I decided to install openmediavault. So I added a 32G USB flash memory and both lsblk and lsusb failed to display the device. So I followed instructions at with no avail. Now I know that USB ports used to work a couple of months earlier and I have cleaned the dusty ports and tried many different UDB flash memories and no result. Appreciate any help and thank you.

Hi everyone, I am developing an industrial system using a Raspberry Pi 5 (Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm). Because it is deployed in an environment with abrupt power cutoffs, I am facing an issue where the default pink and white splash screen randomly reappears during boot, overriding my configuration. Here is what I have already implemented to prevent this: Disabled Splash Screen: Added disable_splash=1 to /boot/firmware/config.txt. Read-Only File System: Enabled the native Overlay File System via raspi-config to protect the boot and root partitions from corruption. Industrial Hardware: Tested with high-end storage to rule out basic SD card degradation…

Hi guys! I tried this http://linux-sunxi.org/Xenomaion bananapi and when booting with original u-boot either on sunxi-uboot : it doesnt work when the kernel is loaded. Can anyone share his experiences?

Even applying thermal patch cpu temperature stays at 80+C which initiates core shutdown. Currently I am on armbian 5.04 and ambient temperature is 33C which may go upto 45. I am working on video streams with OP that consumes lots of CPU and other resource which triggers temperature. Planning to stream from moving vehicle (OP will be fitted in moving vehicle). Please help/guide me to select heat sink which should accept some vibrations and jerks from vehicle. Note : OP don't have provision like screw hole or attachment for heat sink. Thanks, Yogesh

Hello, Is OTG running on Orange Pi ONE? I try to run Gadget_Printer what setup am I supposed to validate? I setup OTG support and Gadget Printer during kernel compilation. No USB device is recogonized by host. Am i missing something? Thanks a big lot! Mecagigi.

Hi All, time ti work and play with Pii also, at time i am using Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, what Image to use to get started over? Regards && thx

“IT guys are boring/lame/low-key/robotic”. I’ve heard of things like this a lot. What do you guys think? And how should I respond to those judges?

Hi there, I've been contacted by KoVu Inc. regarding their RK3328 "SwiftBoard", which should be a great candidate for NAS applications. Any thoughts? https://www.board-db.org/news/2018/01/08/kovu-swiftboard-data-nas-single-board-computer-sata-hdmi-2-0-emmc-gbe-android-armbian-openmediavault/ P.S.: I should receive a sample of this board in the next weeks, if you're interested in further updates. Cheers!

Hi guys, I'd like to install an heatsink on my OPi1. 'cause on summer ambient temps are too high... Can I install an heatsink taken from a mobo chipset on the OPi1? the heatsink is bigger than the h3 cpu, it cover either the cpu and the ram, does this (one heatsink for ram and cpu) will be bad for temp? If I want, instead, buy an heatsink for h3, 14mm or 15mm? ceramic, copper or aluminium? thank you so much

Hello all, I am eyeing this board to make an access point. Wondering if somebody could tell me how good or bad the wifi actually is? In the past with orange pi, the performance was poor. I hope Rock Pi doesnt have this issue. Please let me know what your experience is. Thanks!

This does not look good... Did someone forget to renew the certificates?

Hi Igor and everybody. No access for ADC ? I try "modprobe adc" but no module ADC Thx

Hi, I created an Armbian article on Wikipedia. It's just a basic entry. Please help improving it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armbian Thanks!

Purpose: Discuss displays that at least someone has tested and/or use, particularly touchscreens/strange resolutions/sizes/alternative technologies (DSI, parallel TFT, SPI, etc) Goal: Have some kind of "This at least worked with this version at that time" resource. Over and over people post things like "I have a Waveshare <XX.YY.ZZ> and Armbian can't do what the vendor kernel that uses a crap kernel full of security holes and crusty drivers can". So, point them here and say: "By the power of Google, I beseech thee, search!" And I have some random stuff lying around.

Just In case anyone is interested I have pushed HTOP 2.2.1 to github, so it is possible to monitor big.LITTLE cores in real-time. You can view the big.LITTLE in action, Vcore, Cpu thermal throttling and Cpu frequency for each big or LITTLE core. HTOP is a nice console graphical tool for system-monitor, process-viewer and process-manager. DEB package and source code in case you want to extend or fix things. Be aware the process list and task can be very intrusive if you want to monitor many things at once. It has been tested on NanoPi M4 (thanks to FriendlyElec for the samples) but should work on any SBC just adjust the Vcore path for differ…

Hi All, I am looking for the steps to build custom Linux preferably OpenWrt distro (otherwise Ubuntu or any other distro should be fine at this moment) for Orange Pi R1 H3. I searched it in https://www.armbian.com/download/?device_support=Community maintained&tx_maker=xunlong for the same. But did find anything for Pi R1 H3 board. Thanks in advance for helping me... Warm regards, Manoj

Use case: simple NAS Boards to consider: anything with at least UASP, better yet, USB 3.0 or SATA. But stability (under heavy disk I/O and load average) matters over speed! Also, Gigabit Ethernet is a must. For all the SBC's which are listed as Supported, to what degree can I trust that I won't get kernel freezes, or filesystem errors, when disk I/O gets thick and furious? I completely understand if the disk I/O slows down to a crawl, as the load average gets high, but I'm wanting to feel assured that a board marked as Supported won't "flake out" on me, potentially destroying all my files, should I decide to use it for a simple NAS. Here is…

Good day everyone. I'm looking for your recommendations on a not too expensive ARMs powered board. - Preferably 16 or more cores (big.LITTLE mix is fine) - Cortex-A53/A55 or better. - 16GB of RAM or higher - NMVe support - Support for mounting several boards on U1 shallow spaces (depth of 25cm [10 inches] or less) - Support for booting Armbian and CentOS/Fedora Main purpose - system development (Linux, Java, Scala, Go, RUST), Kubernetes, database and overall platform tinkering. The Bamboo Systems - PANDA B1000N looks really nice, but I'm not sure it is in the modestly priced range - unless thinking that paying upfront for the…

I'm running Armbian from a emmc 16GB card. When I use the web browser the mouse constantly flickers, is there any way to get this to stop? Is there a graphics driver I should have enabled? When I select Additional Hardware Drivers none show up, so maybe there isnt a GPU accelerated driver available. Also switching between desktops feels sluggish. Maybe Im expecting too much performance from a $50 SBC. Thanks for your help & time in making this distribution. Im just looking to make the best user experience possible.

Long time Linux Journal Editor and CSO at Pur.ism, Kyle Rankin recognized Armbian as a source of hope on his article about the challenges of RPi alternatives. Linux Journal: Downsides to Raspberry Pi Alternatives. https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/downsides-raspberry-pi-alternatives
