Dear Armbian community, I like to use the RTC connector of the Nanopi R1 and i'm using an CR2032 3Volt/220mAH battery. However i can't find any documentation of the right syntax, neither on the wiki page of friendlyarm or somewhere else. I tried: The syntax of the Nanopi Fire 3 (6.16: http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_Fire3) Syntax of odroid boards (N2 and XU4) "default rtcwake" commands in armbian. I enabled all I2C pins in ''armbian-config'' Probably i need some rtc driver?? I'm using the Nanopi R1 one for an IoT GNSS logging project and i like to poweroff the board a…

Hi all, The downloads are down, your nginx (in http://mirror.igorpecovnik.com/) goes down... Please fix when you can or post me if is possible some alternative link to download the armbian for bpi-m2. Thanks

Suggestion for a (near future) product. We're still lacking a good SBC out in the wild for small clusters.. Recent SoC performance is good.. Currently all the homelab and k8s nerds are just using RPI4s because they have a header for POE support. We know there are better options. We had pitched this to orange pi but weren't receptive. Just sharing my idea here. A Lean SBC exclusively for server tasks. "The Ultimate Homelab SBC" Real 802.11at POE+ means only 1 cable for your compute node Use SPI flash for custom provisioning configuration Optimized for Compute "Ready for clustering and kubernetes" Has the …

Hello, When I log in to my Orange Pi One, I see two temperature fields. One is "CPU temp", the other is "storage temp"? I understand the "CPU temp", but what is "storage temp"? Thanks

A Beelink X2 by default boots into Android with KODI and can be interrupted to instead boot into Armbian off an SD card. It might be quite advantageous to use a microSD card to jump start Armbian installed on a USB stick plugged in. Cost is one reason: the TF cards cost what the Beelink does, and lots of us have lots of premium USB sticks at less than half the price. This way it could be easier to experiment and even have a personal USB stick for friends and family. When it comes to family media this would help everyone. Myself I'd try various home clouds and server schemes, and whatever wins, just run that from the TF slot later on. Plus if you …

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…

Brovo for a new look www page. Good job... Excellent

I'd like to migrate from SD card Samsung Evo+ to something more durable (I'm running home assistant automation on OPI PC now, mariadb, influx, etc, many writes per minute). I think that I have only two options: go with SBC with EMMC or just buy cheap 32/64 GB SSD with USB adapter. What do you think, which option gives me better durability? Can I assume that EMMC is really durable comparing to SD card? Is USB 2.0 adapter as fast as EMMC?

Odroid has announced it`s new board. The Odroid H2. Not what I expected it to be. But it does seem nice, but pricy. https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=32536 Specs - 2.3Ghz Quad-core processor J4105 (14nm) with 4MiB Cache - Dual-channel Memory DDR4-PC19200 (2400MT/s) - Total 32GiB RAM Space with two SO-DIMM slots - 4 x PCIe 2.0 for one NVMe storage - 2 x Gbit Ethernet ports - 2 x SATA 3.0 - SSE4.2 accelerator (SMM, FPU, NX, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AES) - Graphics UHD Graphics (Gen9.5) 600 (GT1) 700Mhz - HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.2 multiple video outputs

Can you people explain to me how you advertise on almost every page 48+TB storage fully knowing there is a 16TB limitation on all filesystems thanks to limitations on 32bit? I will not use whatever MERGEFS is. How exactly do you achieve 48TB storage as I currently have 4x6TB disks that I CANNOT USE. If you can't I want a refund.

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 …

Hi all, unfortunately the USB power port on my Nanopi M4 V2 has broken off and I can't see a way to reattach it securely - it looks like it's just a push fit onto the board on 4 little tabs no solder involved no wonder it eventually fell off. I've heard that it's possible to power the Nano via the GPIO pins - anyone here done that - I'm not to clued up with all things electrical but I can solder ? I'm thinking I could make a cable to connect to the pins

Hello, I wanted to "build" some kind of Libre Safebox and Libre Router (meaning as libre as possible, of course in this case). I searched around but I still didn't find anything really fully assembled (a part for the Project Turris router, but I was hoping in something more versatile, that isn't necessarily restricted to being a router), so I decide to, if possible, find/assemble a more custom solution by myself. It doesn't have to be anything particularly performing, just that it can handle 720p videos and resolutions smoothly enough, that it can be used to surf the internet even with several open tabs and maybe some basic office things. The most important thing is that…

Hi all, I'm interested in developing and selling a product containing an Orange Pi or Raspberry Pi with embedded software protected by Intellectual Property. I would like it to be as hard as possible for a customer/hacker to get root access or steal software or data out of it. I found the OrangePi to have an 8GB eMMC which would be enough for both OS and our data and probably would be more secure than SD. I'm aware of how to secure network and application layers, but how to secure the device from a customer/hacker who bought the device and thus have physical access to it? I would like to prevent or make it very hard for him to read the eMMc memory or g…

Dear Armbians I have an Odroid C4 in use in a DC with 100 MBits synchronous network connection. As I use it as dedicated networking device, bound to the internet over ethernet connection, I would like to disable the drivers for Wifi, HDMI and Bluetooth permanently. They are not necessary in my case. What would be the safest way to do this?

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?

I've installed Armbian on the SD card for X96mini ( 1GB/8GB ). I only would like to get USB-cam video ( MJPEG/30FPS 1920x080 or 1280x720 ) to hdmi display. But I don't know where to begin with the solving of some issues: 1) S905W should support 4x2GHz cores, but cpufreq-info "says", that 1,2GHz is max. possible clock frequency 2) if I start mplayer with -vo null the USB seems to be to slow. I've got max 10-20 fps. On the PC I get about 30 fps with 1920x1080. ( AUSDOM 620pro ) 3) The less number of picture per seconds looks also not very good on tv screen ( very slow ). I tried with mplayer -vo fbdev 4) I've tried also under X11 with qv…

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

Hi there, i just noticed that the link which should explain how to enter Maskrom Mode on the Tinkerboard S https://www.armbian.com/tinkerboard/ does not point to the Wiki but to a site for an online Casino. Seems that tinkerboarding.co.uk does not exist anymore. Maybe someone could remotve that link.

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. Is it a bug, or something expected from now on. I also noticed the https://armbian.chi.auroradev.org/dl/rock-5-itx/ folder is empty.

Alpine is not nearly as feature rich as many other distro's, I mainly see it deployed in containers using Docker... https://www.alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.9.0-released.html They do have a very good wiki article on how to onboard ARM SoC's including some good stuff on u-Boot (that might be useful for folks working to onboard a new board into Armbian) https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/DIY_Fully_working_Alpine_Linux_for_Allwinner_and_Other_ARM_SOCs

What does determine the software available in softy, found in armbian-config? I easily installed NextCloudPi (ncp) using softy on a Buster based image for the OrangePi4. However it lacked an up to date python version needed for Home Assistant. I reinstalled Armbian using the Focal based image. Sadly softy did not list ncp as an option anymore. So I am a bit puzzled what software to expect from softy. The documentation ( https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Armbian-Config/#software ) did not mention anything about availability.

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. Here the Ethernet controller module is similar to the GeeekPi ENC28J60 Overlays HAT V1.02 board. 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 …

"Eventually..."???? How about WiFi on OPi0 first, or is that too much? Plus would this eventual Uboot on SPI eliminate the need for SD cards? Why not urge Xunlong for eMMC as for other boards?

For those interested I made some improvements in the GLES display backend of uae4arm: https://github.com/Chips-fr/uae4arm-rpi I tested it on Armbian on my orange Pi Pc+ (H3), was able to get 50fps for some games. The only remaining issue is that vsync is not activated and tearing occurs. Does anyone know how to solve this ? Feel free to try on others boards...

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…

Thinking about buying a couple pcDuino3 Nano Lite's for $15 each and installing armbian on a SD and then connecting an external usb powered 2.5" HD to it. Think the USB port could even handle that? The pcDuino would just be powered by a 2A adapter. Want to see if I can try creating a glusterfs cluster with two of these.

Hello Igor! I am using your excellent ARM- based DEBIAN distribution on all of my 3 cubietrucks and I am very pleased with ist. At this time i would like to express my deepest gratitude to you and all fellow users and supporters of ARMBIAN. Recently i discovered a new INTEL based platform: INTEL Compute Stick e.g. STK1A32SC, STK2MV64CC or STK2M364CC all without any OS. Most of them are not yet available (in Germany), however they will be available - hopefully - within the next three months - or so. These Compu Sticks getting so powerful - including Core 5 M processor, 4 GB of DDR3 RAM, 64 GB eMMMC and a slot for microsd (up to 200 GB), WLAN AC, BT 4.2, 3 x…

Hello all. I've finished my video on the NanoPC-T3+. I forgot to mention a lot of things as always. But it is how it is @IgorWith what I promised. I hope it'll help. Thank you.

Hi, I'm missing a feature on the armbian download page, that I think was existing on an older version of this website. Let's say: I'm looking for a board, that is: - Supported - Has a SATA Connector - Supports Wireguard - Supports Docker How can I do that? Despite of browsing through every board. Thanks for your feedback. Regards

This was a bit of a buzz back in late Dec 2018, and things got kind of quiet after that... Rumour was that the SoC was the SocioNext SC2A11, which is a Japanese chipset (and from experience, Japanese chip vendors are very particular about who they work with)...

I was able to build the property file for the NanoPi M1 in about 20 minutes, so now basically you can do ~2 MHz GPIO square wave on all Allwinner and S905 CPUs (you listening @TonyMac32?) without any special code or adapters. All other libraries require one off code to support GPIO register access thus they only support limited boards. In my mind this is the holy grail for cross platform GPIO performance. I plan on going through some more diverse boards, but I'm happy with the results so far. Since only one core is utilized you'll average 25% CPU utilization on quad core systems. That may be another goal using two threads to improve performance further. I have currently m…

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 have managed to build FFmpeg with Cedrus on Armbian and it seems working. It would be nice to see some benchs and how would be the best use for this AW Encoder. I have not much experience with FFmpeg.

Hi all, first post here. Im Ivan, its nice to meet. So i finally came to install Debian Jessie stable, and it's good to be back. My installation is brand new and i have not a wired connection avalaible, so ill have to make things works nowired. As the title say, my card is an Intel i217-V, which in the beginning was not recognized at all by the OS. That was normal and expected, because in the installation phase Debian told that i was missing firmware files named rtlwifi/rtl8821aefw.bin. After a few search i came to download from windows (im in a dual boot system) the following packages: firmware-iwlwifi_0.43_all.deb and firmware-realtek_0.43_all.deb. I also installed …

Hi, UPDATE 26 of May 2018: minor text for better reading, Document section added tools, repository idea SITUATION: In our "day to day" exchange on Armbian we are probably to close to look at it the way it looks for a firsttime visitor. Many members of the community have seen that as well and wrote about it in the Forum - but they didn't come up with a solution. Now, neither do I have a solution nor do I have nice document, but I think we need to set some standard pillars of FOSS projects in order to overcome some of our well known problems. For the ones who joined armbian a while ago (me for example May 2015) have read about missing dev…

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.

I realised thise high performance SBC. Tend to over heat very easily. Anyone has good recommendation?

This looks very interesting, kswapd is essentially a cpu hungry process in nearly most common tasks that move memory around, glad to hear there is interesting work on to bring down cpu usage and make page swapping better. I would like to bring the patches in for some kernel and see if things would improve for light/medium desktop workloads. Anyone has some experience about?

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'm sure @tkaiser has something like this already, but for the rest of us ;-) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C34MT32/ This should work, of course you need to power the drive, I've ordered one so I can get a look at those partially hidden headers spots, looks to be a sata power pattern (15 places) May need some solder time to get both headers and (I would guess) the heavy pads are for the various power rails if you want to "spin rust" as I've seen it written. Finding the SATA power socket could prove challenging for the hobbyist, I'll pull up the Molex number for it I stand corrected, my search through the usual channels show …

Noob question - Forgive me here, I'm quite new to u-boot. I made a change in my /boot/armbianENV.txt and my Tinkerboard won't boot. I know exactly what to fix, except I'm not accustomed to not being able to find the file. I've mounted the SD Card on another Linux OS and can see/mount all my partitions, I have them mounted but none of the /boot directories are what is typically there when armbian is booted. I'm assuming u-boot is an image and /boot gets dynamically created. Done some searching but not making much sense of what I'm seeing. How/Where do I find the /boot/armbianENV.txt file with the SD Card mounted to another machine? Thanks in advance.

Hello I am having a hard time trying to find some of the boards in Europe. Odroid and NanoPI are rather common, but Banana Pi, Orange Pi, Tritium, Olimex ... seem to be hard to find. Can anybody point me to a list of vendors, or maybe post them here (if it's OK with the forum rules)? Regards, Patrick

Hi, I added an USB3.0 adapter to my rockpi4a , which results in: " enx000ec667f0a2 " ( eth1 ) Since NetworkManager is being used I tried to update this name using : " nmcli c modify armbian connection.interface-name "eth1" " But alas that does not seem to be picked up while nmconnection config file has been updated: cat /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/armbian.nmconnection [connection] id=armbian uuid=8f61a97c-d0f1-4cb2-be4a-3fe2b4c08e7c type=ethernet interface-name=eth1 <snip snip> Ideally this could be changed in armbian-config, but I realise this is a low-low rockpi-4…

Hi, my Cubieboard 1 was burned, so I'm looking for next board. What I need: - ownCloud (newer had yet); - MPD; - spdif; - SATA (alternatively via USB?); - maybe simple www server. I don't need video , but I would like to connect some extra modules, like nRF24L01 radio via SPI or alphanumeric LCD via IIC etc. Odroid C2 is powerful, but without SPI, SATA and audio outputs. So maybe C1+? A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 is OK, but Allwinner again... What else? And the most important thing: Armbian:)

I received the BPI M2 Ultra a couple of days ago (thanks to Nora Lee for the board) and worked a while on the BSP to learn and apply some of our changes on the ov5640 driver to be able to use Auto Focus and see if i could get Guvcview working on it. Here are some of my findings: * Working with the BSP is very similar to what we were used to on the Cubieboard A10/A20 era, those who worked with BSP at that time will feel very comfortable. * As usual, the BSP used arm-linux-gnueabi to compile the u-boot and kernel, i think is the Android way, and parses FEX to build a DTB. (Thanks to my old dual-core PC running Lubuntu). * It is hard to know where to change in the …

For anyone stumbling accross CVE-2017-6074 and thinking about whether Armbian installations are affected or not: we're most probably not since CONFIG_IP_DCCP is enabled as module only on some kernels: root@armbian:/var/git/Armbian/lib/config/kernel # grep 'CONFIG_IP_DCCP=' * linux-cubox-default.config:CONFIG_IP_DCCP=m linux-cubox-dev.config:CONFIG_IP_DCCP=m linux-mvebu-default.config:CONFIG_IP_DCCP=m linux-mvebu-next.config:CONFIG_IP_DCCP=m linux-sun8i-dev.config:CONFIG_IP_DCCP=m linux-sunxi-dev.config:CONFIG_IP_DCCP=m linux-sunxi-next.config:CONFIG_IP_DCCP=m root@armbian:/var/git/Armbian/lib/config/kernel # Details about this local root exploit: http://seclists.org/os…

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

Hey folks, Wondering if anyone has come across a dual core or better single board computer that has dual native gigabit ethernet? I'm also trying to find something around $50.. so far the best I've found is the: NXP FRDM-LS1012A-PA - $50 which has good BSP and hardware packet accelerator but only single core @ 800 MHz As a last resort, I'm considering the NanoPi Neo4 with a USB to Gigabit ethernet adapter, thats about $75 with heatsink and USB 3.0 to Gigabit adapter.

od day dear all, i _2019_06_05_Verses_for_google_calendar.ods!? see the differnt formats - in calc- and in a printed sheme.... or in other words - ready to print. question how to arrange to port to the google-calendar!? i guess that i need to make sure that the Start Date column is formatted MM/dd/yyyy. Since i only need all day events i guess that i'll just need a, Start Date column, not the End Date or Time columns. I'm not sure if i need to work over the multiple "Description" columns though... guess that i have to merge them into a single column I suppose. well it does not work at all

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.

The past few weeks I did see a lot of anger and frustration on this forum. Key contributors of the forum (.. Armbian developers) seem to struggle with the level of their audience. People ask for functionality which is not around because of bad hardware, people aspect certain things from Armbian which are not possible, people expect “out of the box” solutions, no feedback from users, etc., etc. I personally think this is getting more and more a problem. The risk is that key Armbian developers get frustrated and not motivated to continue their absolute fantastic contribution to the development of “THE NUMBER ONE OS” for SoC Arm boards! I think it is best t…

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.

Hi! I'm using Banana PI and latest Armbian_5.00_Bananapi_Debian_jessie_3.4.110. SInce it came without xservert and fact that I like to only use board in "kiosk" mode, I should execute only couple of application which use xserver. One is matchbox-keyboad and other is pyQT application. So.... Using apt-cache search xfce I got list of packages for xfce desktop. So I presume i have to install at least: xfce4 - Meta-package for the Xfce Lightweight Desktop Environment xfconf - utilities for managing settings in Xfce xfwm4 - window manager of the Xfce project xfe - lightweight file manager for X11 Since I'm newbee in linux I'd like to know what I have to ins…

In case anyone wants to use Netatalk with Armbian, I'd like to let you know how I succeeded. For a long time, I've wanted to run netatalk on a Linux box. Even though it always built, I could never connect/log in. Today I tried building it on Armbian (CubieBoard2 is the host), and it was very easy to get it to work. I basically followed the official HowTo. -But with some modification for the ./configure line. I got an error when using --without-tdb and --without-libevent, so I decided to remove --without-tdb and then do a sudo apt-get install libevent-dev. I also had problems with the spo…

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…

I've been seeding torrents on my CubieBoard2 earlier; in Juli I moved to one of my EspressoBIN boards. I allocated 128GB for the torrents (since it was stated that I needed at least 60GB for Armbian). -But now Armbian seem to take up 123GB on my dedicated transmission partition: $ df -h . Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sdc13 128G 123G 4.5G 97% /transmission It seems I have 388 completed Armbian files (and no other files). -Does this mean that something went out of control - like files not being deleted - or does it mean that the torrents use this much space now ?

I made a previous topic more specific and got no answers so I thought I would expand more. I did a search and I could not find may topics or posts about this. Are people here mainly using these boards without a case? Anyway this could be a future reference. So please if owners of Orange Pi are using a case with theirs could you say which one and any comments. Thank you.

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!

Hello everyone. I have a REMIX MINI with 2GB Ram and 16 Rom. I am trying to boot with microSD with Armbian_22.08.1_Pine64_jammy_current_5.15.63_xfce_desktop.img.xz image.

I managed to connect the device in fastboot mode to the PC, this is what I see? Bus 001 Device 006: ID 1f3a:1010 Allwinner Technology Android Device in fastboot mode. Can I do some backup from console with sunxi-tools or enter the device? Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator…

Hi All, I'm a bit of a Debian newbie, I haven't had much experience troubleshooting linux installations, so please bear with me. I was able to follow Martin Michlmayr's instructions for installing Debian 10 on my TS-212. The TS-212 uses a Marvell ARM CPU, 256MB of ram, 16MB of SPI NOR flash. I also followed the instructions to resize the MTD blocks to make room for the Debian 11 kernel, although i never updated the kernel. Everything was working fine until I booted one day and I got flashing red lights on the front of the NAS. I hooked up to the debug serial port, and I find that the hard drive has all kinds of non-recoverable errors, and Debian …

First steps with LeMaker's guitar: These days a few SBC appear that are based on Actions Semi's S500 SoC (quad core Cortex A9r4 processor with 512KB L2 Cache and a PowerVR SGX544 GPU). Two competitors share the Raspberry's form factor (they both use Actions Semi's reference design): Lemon Pi: Roseapple Pi: The Allo SPARKY is also compatible to RPi HATs LeMaker's Guitar differs in size and shape(s) since the Guitar is the combination of one core board as SO-DIMM containing SoC, DRAM and the power management unit (PMU) and a few base boards featuring different hardware: (yes, currently you won't see a product picture since the LeMaker guys seem t…

As the title says, when I go to http://armbian.comI see the default Nginx page (Welcome to nginx on Debian). The https site works (https://armbian.com).

I'm new. Are there generic images for a soc ? like the rk3399, to test for example on the orange pi 4 ? Is it so painfull to install regular debian ? (the debian documentation is painfull to read, for sure).

I am trying to get an OV5640 camera module to work on a Banana Pi M64 (Allwinner A64). I am running Armbian 20.08.13 Focal with Linux 5.8.16-sunxi64. I have loaded the kernel sources, updated the config to include the ov5640 kernel driver module and updated the device tree, sun50i-a64-bananapi-m64.dts file by copying and adjusting the camera overlay code from sun50i-a64-pinetab.dts, but it is not working: gollumm64% v4l2-ctl --list-devices cedrus (platform:cedrus): /dev/video0 /dev/media0 gollumm64% v4l2-ctl -d 0 --list-formats --list-ctrls Codec Controls mpeg_2_slice_parameters 0x009909fa (unknown): type=103 flags=has-payload mpe…

I have wanted 'multi-room networked audio' since years. Sort of like Sonos, except I don't use proprietary stuff. So recently, I finally got it working, and even using strictly F/LOSS tools, which I was pretty happy about! I will mention that I am using Mopidy as source, piping that in to snapserver (snapcast), which synchronize the audio to various devices across the network (each running snapclient) so you have a picture of how it works. Maybe I make separate thread / blog post about that, but here I mention it only as criteria for selecting hardware (as these tools must be supported). Currently I have one old RPi 3 [0] with a HifiBerry AMP2…

Hey all, I'm having a hard time choosing a board for my next SBC project. I've decided on the orange pi zero form factor unless someone can persuade me otherwise. Basically my options and reasons are as follows: Orange Pi Zero 512MB - H2+ - cheaper, half the cost of the others. - fast Ethernet on board. Orange Pi Zero Plus 2 - Better mainline support than H5 - smaller vertically than Pi Zero - hdmi - emmc on board Orange Pi Zero Plus 2 - faster dram speed (can't remember where I read that) - emmc on board - same small vertical size - seems more power hungry /sensi…

Hi, I just joined armbian forum. I have debian 8 xfce img from orange pi zero h2, will it work on banana pi zero h2?

I am opening a thread to pick a wiki software for Armbian documentation (or any software to help documentation building) feel free to propose a solution. Thanks.

is it css challenged at the moment or is it me? it looks like this here where the options to the right are overlapping making them difficult to use:

Snap Chat clone update open source in desc, you can use it on your 2g,3g,4g iot orange pi phones as apk app and add to the source:

I just recently came across netdata. Have you all seen it before... it's pretty great.... its kind of like a free version of datadog. I was wondering if there would be interest in replacing the armbianmonitor -r rpimontor with it.. or augmenting as another install option

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

Hi folks, I upgraded my server towards a bigger machine and unfortunately neither my parents nor brothers need a reliable fileserver. So this little machine goes on sale. - Helios64 with all trays + 2 SSD inserts - Fully assembled - Original packaging - Changed the two fans for Noctuas in order to get an even more silent server What's missing is the Battery for UPS. Mine was faulty and caused me some random reboots. Condition is mint / very good. System is stable with 5.15.93 running OMV6. If you would like pictures of the machine itself please drop me a note.

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 martinayotte I have question ! can you reply for me? I can't use i2c in orangepi zero plus H5 My OS is Ubuntu I heard you made your own style kernel so you can detect i2c pin Can you share your method ?

Hi, there is a very intersting board: NanoPi Fire3. It is an Octacore 64 bit SOC. And it needs to have an Armbian installation! Please port it to this board if you can, it seemd to be powerfull. Many thanks!!

While reading the armbian-forum with a tablet using the Chrome-Browser (or other Browser as well) I do miss the header/headlines in portrait-mode I did mark the part - with green retangle - which is visible in landscape-mode, but is missing in portrait-mode. Does anyone else got this problem on a tablet or smartphone? PS: Original Resolution of the image is 2560*1600 (on my Samsung SM-T900 12.2" Tablet) - so there is more space than on my 19" Monitor with 1280*1024

I want to turn my Banana PI into a NAS. Since SSDs are still too small (or much too expensive for my purpose) I need to use a standard 3,5 HD and those will need that much power (on spin-on at least) that I can't use the Banana SATA to power up the HD, right? Can those people that use banana pi et al. as NAS tell me what kind of external power supply they use with what type of connector? If you can recommend low-power HDs I'd like to hear that too. Are there power supplys that can safely feed the Banana pi itself and the HD? Preferably without soldering the connectors?

Hello, I would like to replace the ribbon of the orangepi camera which is damaged. What are the technical characteristics of the ribbon or better, where can we buy it? Thx

Folks, has anyone tried using one of those 5V DIN rail-mounted PSUs (eg Mean Well HDR-XX series) for powering the boards and HDDs? My "server" stack has grown to 10+ boards (many thanks to this forum!) and I am thinking of getting a couple of powerful industry-grade 5V units, but not sure if they provide computer-grade output, especially 12V for HDDs. Any thoughts?

Hi every body I work with armbian on OPI & BPI fine but I'm looking for an improvment. First I install OS on SD, etc... but with limitations of R/W nb & sensibility if power disappears. I set a boot os SD and after switch on SSD connected on USB by moving directory and after discover a scipt whic do all automatically (thank's armbian). But customer calls me server don't restarts. I go on site (waste of time) burn a new SD etc.... and install a little eaton ups to prevent new failure. The server hosts a little bootstrap webserver, specific application server, cron scripts and nothing else. I need WIFI AP / Eth Gb & SSD and nothing else. I 'm searching for …

Where are the Odroid C1 images? This page is empty: https://dl.armbian.com/odroidc1/archive/ What is/was the latest stable Debian? I don't need Desktop but sound should work over HDMI. Its to bad the C1 has no support anymore. Seems to be the only board that does up to 384kHz Audio.

Hi, I wonder if there exists one method to make the end user a friendly way to access the web server. So I have Armbian with hotspot enabled, if I want to look at specific web page running on the board, I have to know the IP of the wlan0 and specific port of the web server. For example in google chrome I have to insert: http://172.24.1.1:3000 This is very difficult for end user, who has minimal knowledge. Is there any way, that for example you log on the hotspot, then open google chrome and start browse for any arbitrary page (let's say www.google.com) at port 80 and then it's automatically redirected to port 3000, except for all other web servers on the same…

Pistar is convenient for hammers but too bad it only support select few arm sbc . I looked into the official site and found no clue of compiling custom image. Any enthusiast porting this thing to more sbc eg s905 ?
