Xunlong released Android 7 images 2 weeks ago and it didn't include a one for opi+2 which is still the same. I am still waiting for an image and I wonder if there ever be an image or not. Does anyone have any information about this?

Hi all. How many years people can count on support of 32 bit mini PC? (OS + repository ) For example Orange Pi: Allwinner H2+ Quad-core Cortex-A7 Is it worth to buy 64 bit ARM ? I wanna use 1 device more than 10 years. I know about 2038 year. And I dont want to buy devices which support stops after 2 or 3 years. Please give me a link if this has been discussed. Thanks in advance.

I have Cubieboard plus (Cubieboard 5) . But there is not available any workig links of latest Armbian based on Ubuntu 18.04 with Kernel 5.x Can anybody point to such links or can anybody build such image for the device ? I am newbie in image building. At the time I use Armbian_5.51_Cubietruckplus_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.17.4 what I could find but onboard Wi-fi is disabled and I can not still enable it. It work well in Android.

I am using my personal laptop for my work, but recently, they have degraded a lot. In the past I bought a computer with an HHD drive, because the price was cheaper. Now I need to upgrade to an SSD computer, because the laptop is running very slow. So is it possible to change the HHD drive to an SSD? If so, how many GB SSD is reasonable? Please give me some advice. thanks all

Hello! I've just recently gotten a few (okay, several. I might have a problem here.) small single-board computers and I'm thoroughly in love with them. I also purchased a few small LCDs so I could make small independent thing that wouldn't require a huge display - perhaps even portable ones. While I do enjoy using the terminal for practically anything (give me lynx, rtv, byobu and the likes and I'm happy), there are certain advantages in a graphical user interface. But let's face it, the default UIs with modern window managers are... not exactly designed for small, low-res screens. With a 800x480 screen it's plausible to use just a normal WM and be rather fine…

We may move our IRC presence to Libera.chat somewhen in future due to the weird things going on at Freenode. For now the #armbian channels on both Freenode and Libera are linked with a simple relay bot. For those who where asking how its done technically: Very simple. Supybot with relay plugin. That's it.

Hello, Please let me know what are the differences between different Armbian variants. There are a lot of them: Buster, Focal, Bullseye,etc. I was googling for more than 15 minutes and I didn't find an answer to this question.

Hi, Anyone knows how to delete the account and my data here in the forum?

so 22.04 will come out soon-ish so I have a few questions: is it known when there will be an armbian release for it? can users of focal armbian upgrade to that directly, or is it kinda needed to nuke everything? I have a rockpro64 btw

Working on an embedded SBC home automation application with a very small form factor. Size and reliability is at a premium. Just want to have a smart device at the door that will help notify and find me when someone presses the doorbell button, or detects motion at the entrance or curbside mailbox. Two way audio and outbound alerts are progressing nicely but complexity increases significantly when integrating video into the solution. For example, two widely used video trans-coding applications, ffmpeg and gstreamer, may or may not have hardware assisted image signal processing on the SBC.

I was using OPI3 as my home automation server for many months, very stable for me with Armbian. But now I've migrated to more powerful machine and my OPI3 got nothing to do So I'm thinking about connecting it to my TV and use as light linux desktop: web browser mainly. Does anyone use OPI3 2GB RAM like that? Is it powerful enough to handle browsing with 10 tabs for example? Or I should go for some cheap RK3399+4GB RAM (under $50) instead? What's your experience?

Hey guys, wanna chat about the possibilities to use TVboxes with TVheadend with VPU Encoding/hardware accelleration. There is VAAPI support for some devices like RK3229 with legacy kernel 4.4. Does anyone have any experience or experiments ongoing? I read that @JMCC did some experiments with TVHeadend. So maybe we can have some research here. Cheers and happy developing

Hi. I am developing an automation system and using raspberry pi 3 as server. But i dont want to use micro sd cards. So i bought an orange pi plus 2. But i dont know how can i use the 16gb memory of device. I am kinda new on linux. I need help with that. Have a nice day.

La frite sbc is avalaible via preorder. This board dont have micro-sd slot. It is avalaible with eMMc module. Can we expect armbian for such sbc? Can i suggest it as support board?

Hi Igor, First of all thanks a lot for all the work that you do, its awesome. I do experience some problems with the latest kernel version 3.4.110 that I compiled with PMP support with the RTL8211E PHY interface. Its something weird going on. I can ping the card but i get multiple interruptions: PING 10.20.104.243 (10.20.104.243) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 10.20.104.243: icmp_seq=1 ttl=61 time=0.362 ms x 64 bytes from 10.20.104.243: icmp_seq=3 ttl=61 time=0.300 ms 64 bytes from 10.20.104.243: icmp_seq=4 ttl=61 time=0.276 ms x x x 64 bytes from 10.20.104.243: icmp_seq=7 ttl=61 time=0.246 …

I want to get an sbc to make personal server running website with backend for me, so basically JS, Python, and other stuff. I also want to connect my microcontrollers like esp32 to make my custom smart home system, by using camera. Maybe i also could use AI to analize the image. I found one Banana pi M3(2gb ram) for under 10$, so i am thinking whether to buy it. I feel like the deal is great since i can't find other sbcs with such hardware, ram to be specific, but i heard that software support is bad. Is that true for now? Or is it usable? I am also thinking of getting Orange pi one plus(1gb ram), but it costs more and also has less ram. What shoul…

I came across these recently and found several interesting things within, so thought I would share them.

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

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.

Ubuntu LTS 20.04 will probably have XFCE 4.14, which is based on GTK3. I have XFce 4.14 installed on an x86 Arch Linux machine. Unfortunately, the GUI is heavy. Requires memory resources and a good graphics card. I have a question. In connection with the upcoming 20.04 release, would it not be better to Armbian switch to LXQT as the basic GIU. It is lighter and faster. thanks

I stopped tinkering for a while but https://magicmirror.builders/ perked my interest and been grinning at such a simple project and generally think its really great. I think they have made some odd options as the server and electron browser have been lumped together which is a really strange choice for absolutely no advantage. The server does need restarts and would seem far more often than you would expect and the use of electron means armv7l only which is a shame for the 0/1 owners. You can install using chromium and you certainly don't need the load of a desktop?! Dunno been wondering. I wanted to use a zero as love that tiny footprint and price and there are…

I'd really like to build a relationship with Armbian and Linaro... even a small one. Although most of the SBC manufactures we support aren't a member of Linaro... Armbian is a huge win for Arm as a whole, and impacts influencers who can choose to use ARM products in enterprise settings etc.

I purchased 4 new Orange Pi's about a month ago and everything I tried I couldn't get them working as I wanted, something didn't work with most of the images from orange pi . org which led me to your site and 100% success straight off the internet, no problems, everything works perfectly on all 4 OPI's so thanks and keep up the excellent work you made my year.

Hey all I recently purchased this board and tried both raspbian and Armbian. After using both I have an amazing appreciation for this os. I’m currently running it with the default desktop, I think the only downfall issue I’ve found is the lack of realvnc. I also have a raspberry pi zero w that’s running dietpi with lxde but the bananapi puts it to shame anybody else tried out this combo yet?

Hi, I have some Siemens s7-1200 plc 's at a remote site and I need a client application to read (only) from the plc registers (Mostly DB200) and tiger an alarm that will send an email. For the moment I use an ewon router for remote communication and also read from the registers, tiger alarms and send emails. I know that Snap7 is working on ARM (e.g. cubietruck) with Siemens s7-1200 plc 's, so If someone is able write an application (at a logical cost) i would be interested to pay for it. I prefer the application to be compatible with amrbian on olinuxino. Set up of armbian with watchdog and smtp server would be also appreciated.

On my journey to finding the best solution for cross SBC/cross language GPIO support I went through the same issues as Python by the C side author did it seems and landed on CFFI. This is faster than ctypes and seem more natural to program with. ctypesgen (the code generator) doen't really support Python 3, so I've hit a dead end there. It seems like JNA is still the best choice for Java bindings, so I'm sticking with that for now. In any event I threw together a button press app that uses CFFI and libgrpiod. I'll be updating my bindings project to support this soon. libgpiod version 1.1.devel Name: gpiochip1, label: 1f02c00.pinctrl, lines: 32 Press button…

Hi there, I'm trying to better understand GPIO (in general) and to use what's available on the OrangePi Zero with Armbian. For the time being, I managed to get an I2C screen to work. Now, I'm about to try InfraRed (before using SPI). I already have the OrangePi extension hat (somewhere in the office), but it won't be really handy, as the IR receiver could be a feet away from the board, so I thought of using a general purpose IR receiver. I know there is a module pack listed on OrangePi store, but I'd like to get just the IR part... Is there a schema somewhere that lists the kind of circuit and part I should get? I was not able for the time being to …

If I modified a specific release of Armbian to have a root filesystem of zfs or perhaps btrfs, where should I publish the image?

I've noticed that since yesterday the `server` Armbian images disappeared from the product pages. Example: https://www.armbian.com/radxa-rock-5-itx/ I can no longer see them.

Hi all, One question here. I am making an electronic design that was previously completed by a third party. It has a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W attached, an Ethernet controller module based on the ENC28J60, and an RJ45 connector.

Added: ENC28J60 's Main Specs ref: https://www.kukelec.com/products/ENC28J60-I--SS.html The issue is that the Raspberry Pi is unable to establish a network connection via Ethernet, as the ENC28J60 chip is not even recognized. I have checked the Raspberry Pi’s configuration, and it is correct and consistent with the chosen SPI pins. While …

Hello all, I'm doing a project which is essentially a lighted cube, that communicates status through different colors, where I get this ides from Basic Projects with Arduino (link removed). So when the light goes below a certain level it turns a certain color, when temp goes above a certain level it turns another color, etc. I'm figuring I'll probably need anywhere from 2 to 4 LEDs per color to get a nice intensity, and the colors would breathe, which is pretty easy with PWM on the arduino. What I'm thinking is that I'm going to leave all the colors in phase. So that the intensity ramp on red is the same as yellow, is the same as green, etc. That would requi…

Hi, i need a gpio to trigger a key stroke. I had an raspberry pi zero and this worked for setting up an gpio to trigger a key stroke. For some reason I am not able to port this to my orangepi 3 lts H6 board. I think there is some confusion because there are two pin-controller? Do I have to set the right one anywhere? I thought the setting will be listed here like the raspberry did root@orangepi3-lts:~# cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio gpiochip1: GPIOs 0-255, parent: platform/300b000.pinctrl, 300b000.pinctrl: gpio-79 ( |usb0_id_det ) in hi gpio-102 ( |gmac-3v3 ) o…

I just released some new code on github to play animated GIF files directly on a Linux framebuffer or SPI LCD (using my SPI_LCD code). It doesn't have any 3rd party dependencies and can easily be made to run on systems with no operating system or file system. This is part of my imaging library that I've been working on for more than 20 years. I'm slowly releasing parts of it as open-source. This code was sliced out of a much larger project which supports a whole bunch of image formats. https://github.com/bitbank2/gif_play Comments/feedback welcome.

Hi I'm looking to emulate an industrial device such as eWon or ESA router by using an sbc with dual eth and tailscale/headscale. What is the best and cheapest board? better if with a decent chassis. I'm interested in something like nanopi Rx or orangepi Rx. Any idea? thank you

is it possible to support 1440pi 2k resolution, where it is possible?

I just released a simple library for the MAX7219 LED matrix controller. It allows controlling any number of cascaded controllers in a very simple way. I tested it on an Orange Pi Lite. Even though it says it needs 5V, I ran the board @ 3.3v, it worked fine and didn't require any 3.3v->5v level converters. Here's the code: https://github.com/bitbank2/MAX7219 And a video of it in action: https://photos.app.goo.gl/iO66bsy6Wk13lT1y2

just want ask is Wanke Cloud NAS is use armbian? I bought this thrift item

I am using an ATX SMPS to power my Orange Pi Plus 2 via 5V supply. It worked fine for a couple of days without problem until yesterday. I happend to connect my audio amplifier TPA3116 which worked fine. After which when i was switching some cables i happend to short the 12V supply. The smps immediately shut itself down. Now i removed the short and disconnect the audio amplifier from 12V supply. After this when i started the orange pi there was no more any indication. I wanted to know that if the 12V short let to an inrush current spike at the 5V power section. If any one on this forum is aware of fuses present on the orange pi board.

As previously recommended by @NicoD I have been trying to download Vivaldi browser for my Allwinner Tanix TX6 TV Box (arm64 architecture) However, the official stable version seems to provide armhf (ARM 32-bit) build only. After some digging, it appears Vivaldi does provide a snapshot build (think of it like trunk / daily build) for arm64 architecture. It can be found here: https://vivaldi.com/blog/desktop/snapshots/ Just select "Snapshot" under the "Desktop" section, and you will always have the latest Vivaldi snapshot build to download and install. Both armhf and arm64 builds are available for your selectio…

Hi, I'm developing a port (or "platform") for the Godot game engine that targets single board computers and I would really appreciate some feedback. I have already posted on reddit, but I got no replies so far: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_devices/comments/8a3to5/godot_export_template_frt_looking_for_feedback/ I was hoping maybe to have better luck posting here. See the reddit post, but essentially I have an executable that you can test (but you can re-create it yourself if you prefer; everything is open source https://github.com/efornara/frt ): https://sourceforge.net/projects/frt/files/demos/093_214_2d_platfo…

Just wanted to announce that Armbian-NG (https://github.com/AndrewBCN/Armbian-NG/) has been chosen as the OS to power the new CNX Election Meddling System (https://www.cnx-software.com/2019/04/01/introducing-cnx-election-meddling-system/). Why? Because Python. Have a nice day and don't forget to vote!

I heard about this today. https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift sounds pretty neat..

Tested with a few drives, and different operating systems. Also a couple power supplies. The harddrive runs extra hot 107F on the outside for the last one I measured myself. It dies during heavy loads. a simple fsck will kill it. But put it in my main computer and I can write /dev/zero to it all day long. My first thought is that I had a power issue with some power supplies lying about their actual amperage. So I found "FSP Net 36 Universal Netbook Power Adapter 12V 36W for ASUS Eee PC" in the discount bin and modified it to work in a 12v adapter. Still the crashing persists. However if I don't use the 3.5 addon package and I use a 2TB samsung laptop drive, no …

Hi All, I'm working with a linux5.4.213 (arm) - OpenWRT based (QCA driver) Mesh AP. Currently the device is running into Out of memory and looking at the slab info, we see skb_head_cache and skb_data_cache accounting a major increase. But i don't have any clue on how to go about debugging the same. I came across similar issues discussed years ago, but there were no conclusion or methods to debug/triage the issue further. We gave a shot with kmemtracer, but that seems to pretty much point to false positives and the module itself was contributing to leak and we were asked to turn the configs off. If someone could point me on w…

Hi there, Has anyone tried openRGB with armbian? I found a few references to Raspberry Pi and openRGB, but nothing really usable. I would like to build a Kubernetes cluster and use an RGB fan to display the status of the cluster (and of course try to cool it down). Thanks.

Hi all. I've finished my review video about the Banana Pi M2 Zero. I talk about Armbian a bit. If anyone has got tips and tricks to improve my videos, please let me know. Like : Could I use the same version of 7zip on 32-bit and 64-bit environments? Thank you for all the help. Here's my video. Greetings.

Hi! Are there any ways to donate Turkish Lira? I've been using this operating system for a year now. I would want to support Armbian a little bit (around 5-10TL) occasionally. I know that it is not a big money but I'm a student And I believe that support is support.

I've had a cheap JMB321 port multiplier on my EspressoBIN for more than a year. I've used it with a BTRFS RAID0 configuration on two 1TB harddisks. This worked fine so far. The day before yesterday I added another 1TB drive. I added the first partition and balanced it. No problems. Next partition, same thing, no problems (this was my web-partition with all my web-sites. Balanced fine). Next partition was almost unused, added it and balanced it and ... segmentation fault. This is not the fault of BTRFS! No commands were available, I had no rootfs anymore. I rebooted the board, nothing. Started from SD, couldn't see anything but …

I have recently designed some UI interface for a smart home project, is there any good suggestion on what features should be added.

This scripting sesh I worked on ways to make 3d intersection possible in flash as3, not many resources out there will help you with 3d intersection at all, now you can look forward to better lightweight 3d games on armbian os clients and browsers. Try the demo here: https://rpguy.weebly.com/uploads/2/0/8/5/20854550/3d_intersecting_rotation.swf This is the first version and only lets you do 1 intersection, but in future versions you will be able to do many movieclip intersections.

Noobie interested in learning the simple basics of how single board computers are built? While I have a Orange Pi, have bought a cheap China made Ardunio, with header and USB cable with delivery for under 3 quid ( mad how they do these pieces 😀) and just starting to learn as a maker. I want to learn more basics about how these SBC board work, are built, but I am not technically trained. Years ago I could put a Windows machine together from boards, parts and install operating system. So does anyone know a good forum to ask questions and read up on SBC boards in easy to understand English language. I would love to know how they design the GPIO and connec…

HI , there I have a system on emmc protected by overlayroot. Sensitive data are written to sd card. Everything works as expected. The question is: Is there a way to temporarily access the root filesystem from python script ? Of course, I can temporarily deactivate protection by ‘overlayroot-chroot’ command from terminal and make changes, but that's not what I mean. I have a web server application written in a flask framework. On one of its pages, users can set network parameters, e.g. IP, mask, dns . Is it possible at all, eg when the user accepts changes to disable protection, save changes to root filesystem and immediately enable protection ?

Java Periphery is a high performance library for GPIO, LED, PWM, SPI, I2C, MMIO and Serial peripheral I/O interface access in userspace Linux. Rather than try to build this from scratch I used c-periphery and HawtJNI to generate the JNI wrappers. This saves a lot of hand coding and allows for easier synchronization with c-periphery changes moving forward. I believe this is the only userspace IO library that supports the new JDK 17 LTS (and still supports JDK 11). I had to fork HawtJNI to make it work with JDK 17. The only caveat is that ARM32 supports JDK 11. For some reason I cannot find a JDK 17 for ARM32 or information on why is was not supported. The insta…

Hello dear all, I want to make some experience with linux and my rasperry-Pi. Well - on the Raspberry Pi, (alert-) messages and notifications are a great option: These messages help in any case of automation: The ways and methods being sent are various: These messages can use a broad variety on communication channels (e.g. e-mails, SMSs and i love MQTT). A bunch of APIs are at hand that help to collect data from sensors can be the source for alert emails. With the Raspberry Pi and the the setting of terminal commands. The alert-messages also are able to be configured to be sent by Cron-job. Sometimes using email, is called ugly it's…

I've had this going for quite some time now regarding Rockchip RK3588 boards, specifically for me, the somewhat PC-alike Firefly ITX-3588J, and trying to see if it is possible to create or refine the various software out there so that it could be made to work like a PC, e.g. with EFI booting off USB sticks, GRUB, etc. for loading an OS without needing an external computer. This has been tried on and off over the past year, without much luck owing to how incomplete the software for this board type is. However, it seems that in the most recent versions of mainline U-Boot (i.e. U-Boot 2023) at least, there's enough RK3588 support to get it up and running, and I have my machi…
