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. -)

Hi there, is it possible to change screen resolution of the screen without changing/replacing script.bin and rebooting? could we just avoid rebooting and somehow force linux to change resolution?

hello dear experts Where would you recommend me to store the Keepass-file? Well - for most of the use-cases usually i have all my personal documents in my cloud account. The pro: i can access it from everywhere in the world. With any device. But besides that i am not so sure if this is safe. Especially if it comes to such things like keepass: Some friends mentioned that it is not so safe: Question; would it be safe to use the cloud for the keepass-file? Can i secure it even further, by adding another (extra) layer of security by encrypting the file. the generalized question is this: How safe is it to store the keepass-file in the (wrong pla…

I needed a small zero cross detector to switch SSR's efficiently and properly in my DIY reflow oven so I designed these in KiCad, and built them. They are optically isolated (5000V Isolation) and Low power (less than 120mW) so are safe to hook up to any board supported by Armbian (or any other SBC) (provided you safely wired them to the mains) and produce a nice open drain low going pulse for 1ms (50Hz AC) centred dead around zero cross. (about 0.83ms for 60Hz AC). On the digital side they will interface to any logic level between 1.8V and 5V. The thing is I only need 2, and I have spares because I had to get 10 PCB's minimum. I have decided to build them…

Hello! I have the NXP i.MX7Dual developer board for Android Things (ARM Cortex-A7 + M4, 512MB DDR3L, 4GB eMMC flash; you can find the reference guide here). Is it possible to run Armbian on it?

Recently, first when updating the OrangePi 3B, and now the BananaPi M2 Ultra, the /ect/os-release file, *PRETTY_NAME=*trunk.XXX*, has stopped updating correctly. XXX doesn't change and doesn't match the current value. (rolling release)

Dear all, who can help me to understand why there are these files ? Is mandatory to install it? thank you a lot

Hello, I hope this is the right place to ask .I have worried a few days.Don't know whether it is appropriate to ask here. I am using the LM95071 in a simple application to measure ambient temperature of our product. The normal temperature range is approx 15degC through to 50degC. In general the part is working well, however intermittently I will read a value of -22degC. The spurious values occur around once every 100-200k reads. Typically a valid read should be 0x0eab, however I am occasionally getting spurious values of 0x0f4b3, 0x0f4a7, 0x0f4a3 or 0x0f4b7 I am reading the LM95071 every 4ms, which is much faster than its conversion time, however t…

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.

I am looking for enclosures (cases) to mount Orange Pi boards in. I have the original enclosures, but they do not have any space for additional boards / wiring etc. And there is no way to mount the enclosure... I am wondering what other people use to mount the boards. If there are no enclosures available for OPi boards, maybe there are some available for other boards. I am not interested in Raspberry enclosures since I don't want to use RPis .

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?

Hi, I have a quectel ec 20 4g modem and I want to install it on espressobin. There seems to be some low cost solderless products like this or this. Is there any suggestion for SIM Card adapter?

I just released a new library to act as a DNS filter. This differs from pi-hole in that it runs as a user-level program and doesn't depend on dnsmasq. This allows you to run it on a machine without changing your network configuration. It hasn't been rigorously tested, but appears to work properly. It can either proxy the packets to a trusted DNS server or spoof the return address using RAW sockets to route the response back to the requestor. It can fool web pages (like CNN) as it blocks ads and replaces dynamic ad script requests with innocuous javascript responses. https://github.com/bitbank2/bb-hole

I am thinking of connecting up to four 1080p IP cameras and recording to a SATA HDD. Is it better to use a faster H3 board but with slower USB/SATA bridge (say, Orange Pi Plus 2), or a slower A20 board with faster SATA (say, Banana Pi M1+)?

The picture below is the driving circuit, the output of the FPGA is driven to drive the push-pull converter, Is it right?

I must say that im suprised. I installed Armbian 5.59 Bionic on Nanopi T4 and found little cores A53 overclocked 1.80GHZ and big A72 cores clocked 1.90GHZ. Im using double radiator 3.5 cm x 3.5 cm. It is not very hot. I was not expecting such good job from Nanopi. On Firefly RK3399 i must to use third 3.5x 3.5radiator and it is getting hot at clock speed 1.4ghz a53 and 1.81ghz a72.

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.

dear community i own a udoo quad which Armbian does fit to this hardware? love to hear from you

Nothing like a good weekend challenge to occupy my inner nerd. I love this web interface NODE JS along with this relay plate RELAY PLATE and have it working with Raspberry PI3, but now I want to take advantage of the additional ram I have with Rock64. The process did not go without a hitch. I list the latest version of NPM in my machine and the web interface is working. I don't think the relays are getting triggered even though I painstakingly crossed the power pinouts and the gpio pinouts. Not sure if this can be adapted or if it has been done before. I am good at following those that know more than me, but do not consider myself knowledgeable enough to blaze new trails.…

Hi all, first of all thanks Igor for this great distro, but is for say that i succesfully passed from my old Armbian based on debian wheezy, to a new Armbian but based on devuan that is a fork of Debian without systemd, so if you don't like systemd now you have a choice.

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. Is any form of image signal processing within scope when a board is supp…

HI. 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 ?

Hello All, I was wondering if I could get some help with this project https://github.com/jhdewitt/sltk This is a tool to do structured light 3d scans with a webcam and a projector. Currently the only way that I found to do this is with $1000+ commercial scanner. John De Witt is just a single developer and I am just a tester with limited skills. I currently have the tools compiling now on a s905x box with Armbian on it. I have compiled the tools but i am struggling with helping on the coding part and relaying information effectively and getting them to run properly on other hardware. This tool would bring structur…

Hi Gang, would it be possible to get some Armbian gear at redbubble or somewhere else, so that we can show our love while supporting the project? I suppose the logo maker gets some money when someone buys the T-Shirt/design. Thanks.

Orange Pi 5B subforum has recurring threads about eMMC boot loops, WiFi/Bluetooth regressions on mainline kernels, and the general "what image actually works on this thing" question. Joshua-Riek's ubuntu-rockchip was a common answer to that for a long time, but it was archived recently. This is a personal continuation fork in case it's useful to anyone working through those same issues. What this is: - Fork of Joshua-Riek/ubuntu-rockchip (archived) — same vendor 6.1 kernel base, not mainline - Therefore: onboard WiFi/BT works (no mainline driver regressions), eMMC boots reliably - Scope: Orange Pi 5B + Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble) only. jammy/oracular/plucky suite conf…

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.

Hi all, I'm running DietPi on an Orange Pi Zero 3 (H618, sunxi64), which repackages the Armbian current-sunxi64 kernel. I use a USB DVB-T2 dongle (HanfTek Astrometa RTL2832P, VID/PID 15f4:0131) with tvheadend for over-the-air TV. After a routine update the dongle stopped working entirely, and I tracked the root cause down to missing kernel modules. ## Problem Starting from kernel 6.18.x (package linux-image-current-sunxi64 version 26.05.0-trunk-dietpi1 and all subsequent builds through dietpi5), the following modules are absent from the kernel package: - dvb_usb_v2 - dvb-usb-rtl28xxu - dvb_core …

Now the picture is complete, and it's better news than the September note suggested. Three things in Firefox's own code: 1. There's a fallback chain already, and it's three deep. CreateTexture tries zero-copy import first; if that fails it has CreateTextureViaCopyYUV for NV12 and CreateTextureViaCopyP010 for 10-bit. 2. Those fallbacks already use the external-texture machinery — the exact mechanism a whole-frame import needs: aGLContext->fBindTexture(LOCAL_GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL, srcTex); aGLContext->fEGLImageTargetTexture2D(LOCAL_GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL, mEGLImage[aPlane]); So Firefox can bind a dma-buf as an external texture. It just does it …

<prompt> "Talk to me about it." <claude> Good question, because the honest answer has layers, and most of the "8K" in the ads lives in only one of them. What's real: the decoder. The RK3588's video engine (RKVDEC2) really does decode 8K: HEVC and VP9 at 8K@60, H.264 and AV1 at 8K@30, in silicon. That's not marketing. It's the same block Deep Ink talks to for our 4K HDR work, and 8K is just more macroblocks through the same pipe. So "8K video decoding" is a true statement about the chip. Where it thins out: the display. The VOP2 display controller's big port (VP0) tops out at 8K@30 or 4K@120, and here's the nugget: those are the same number. …
