First, I apologize if this is the wrong section of the forum for this question. I will keep watch on the response and learn for future posts. I apologize if I got it wrong. I was looking at Orange Pi devices on aliexpress and noticed the "Orange Pi i96 256MB Cortex-A5 32bit with WIFI and Bluetooth". Looks like a cool device, but I haven't found mention if it in the forum and it's not in the downloads section ... Will the Orange Pi i96 be included as a target device? And will the on-board WiFi be a disaster like the Orange Pi Zero on-board WiFI, or is it possible the i96 on-board WiFi will be usable? I really hope they learned from the zero an…

Hi, tell me please how to properly enable RUART (S-UART) on Orange Pi 3. The Armbian Bionic build (kernel 5.1) is installed, RUART (S-UART) is enabled via raspbian-config, but does not work. What are the options? Required to connect the UART device. UART 3 is working, RUART (S-UART) does not work. Image: Pin (08, 10)

HI, sorry if I bother the community so much. Is there a way (I'm sure that is) to setup armbian without DE and without eth connection? I've noticed that I need wired connection to launch armbian-config. Can I do the same with a wifi USB stick? How? If I want to use armbian as wireless AP, do I need to install the DE? Can you guide me? Thank you in advance

I recently came by a NanoPi M2, (1gb DDR) http://nanopi.io/nanopi-m2.html http://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=107 its still in its box with case etc. If you are interested in supporting or just seeing if armbian works on it let me know. Pointers towards which base build to start with etc would be beneficial! I got the board but im no "developer" !

Hello. Is there any way to convert iptv from my internet provider from MPEG flow to HLS "on the fly" to my local network? I want to use some sbc for that mission.

Today I would give my original Banana Pi (A20 / 1GB Ram) a new life/work and installed for testing armbian Bionic dev with kernel 4.17 (for not trashing my normal Pihole - a OPi PC2 with armbian stretch) After installing armbian bionic I did try to install Pihole via curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash but it "crashes" while starting dnsmaq - because it seems to collide with resolved at Port 53 see as reference : https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/issues/2179 After this reference I did edit /etc/systemd/resolved.conf and inserted DNSStubListener=no as a active line.

Hi Experts, I am using OPI zero with Ubuntu Xenial. I started with Armbian but switched over to Ubuntu in order to use overlayfs. I am facing overheating problem ad yes I need to apply heat sink etc to solve the issue however since my requirement is not processor intensive (read 48 byte data over UART every 100-200ms and send it over WiFi), I am wondering if I can reduce CPU speed in software to avoid overheating. Any help/expert advice is appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

Hello All! I am considering to change my Banana Pi to most powerful board (but with sense of cost), so I have question: what is currently mass produced board that is best in CPU performance and also supports Armbian? Other question about SD port: does these powerful boards support fastest SD cards which have R/W capability at 200MB/s? Which board supports these cards? Thank you

I have this cheap bluetooth multimedia controller with 5 keys (play, prev, next, vol up, vol down). It's all connected and key presses are recognised: [root] [~] # showkey kb mode was UNICODE [ if you are trying this under X, it might not work since the X server is also reading /dev/console ] press any key (program terminates 10s after last keypress)... keycode 164 press keycode 164 release How do I go from here? How do I make this 164 key press to run "mpc toggle" command? It's an Orange Pi PC+ and Armbian 5.90. This is a console-only machine. No any X window system (most of the keybind solutions I've found were X related).

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)

I think this is probably something for Thomas, but it's a general question. I'm totally confused (old too which doesn't help) as to which board to get for different jobs. I have an RPi B (256) running. Dietpi as a DLNA and samba sever. Slow but effective. An RPi 3 for general work and tinkering since it's supported quite well and a Orange PI PC which is how I got here... Wow, what a great piece of work you have all done. Igor and Thomas I salute you both! Your knowledge and explanations make me sit in awe. Last time I soldered something in anger it was a quad CMOS NAND and it wasn't cheap either! So, is there a general (noobs) guide to which boards are good for "…

I made a funny project for trying to use the ARM single board as the USB disk or cdrom. I did a lot of optimizations for the size and speed. Releases: https://github.com/usboot/USBootPi/releases USBootPi supports NanoPi M1. It also supports OrangePi One/PC but we need more USB cables(one for power, another one for OTG). Sorry, there is no the English readme now.

Hello, http://primtux.fr/ is a debian configuration for french schools. I'm trying to participate to make a dynamic in order to deploy PrimTux on open hardware nano computer in schools, to support makers activities for 6 years old to 10 years old (3D printing, Snap!, OpenScad, arduino IDE...).

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…

Two things: - If no HDMI is pluged in, /dev/fb0 disapears. Replug and it's there again. Must that be? (This nearly made me crazy 'till I found out!). - Compilation of external Drivers doesn't work anymore after new update. I have the precise error not here because I reinstalled generic version, but it's reproducable.

After reading about the actual 2018 performance test of @tkaiser and reading about the manfid and oemid of SD-Cards I did found out that my "SONY Class 10" card is a fake - also because armbian told me at the first login that the card is to slow: Attention: Your SD card seems to be very slow. Please check performance using armbianmonitor -c While searching for manfid/oemid I did read about a Android-App which can identify SD-Cards using manfid/oemid: SD Insight. Doenst work not on all Android >=7.0 devices (because of a change in 7.0) but on devices <7.0 On the webpage they are using a smartphone - but SD Insight work fine on a And…

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, What is difference between " Server " and " Desktop"?

Any of you have such a beautiful problem? They like Orange Pi's, they are hot !

I was reading the Orange Pi forum and someone in a topic conversation asked why not use a USB for power to a Orange Pi board. I am not smart enough to know why but did find a good explanation of USB online when searchingthe internet. Hope Armbian don't mind me sharing it here as I think it is informative for other novices like me and helps understand USB. http://www.usbmadesimple.co.uk/index.html

Hi everyone, I'm building a micro server based on orange pi prime and armbian, after reading a lot about sd card wear out, I started thinking how could I improve that in my project. For my project it is ok, if data would be physically written to card, every 1 minute instead of on every commit. Now, what I can't find: is there a way to generally configure such memory buffering for a filesystem, so that I don't have to configure this for a database engine?

This post is to share my successful webcam installation with Armbian and one of my SBC’s (orange pi plus). I’ve used a Logitech C270 which can be purchased from eBay for roughly 20 Euros. Also el-cheapo shops like lightinthebox sell the C270. Benefit of such a cam is that you now have a cable from your SBC to your cam which makes (physical) cam installation easier IMHO. Also IMHO the C270 is a better camera than the famous GC2035, but it is also more expensive. Price / 'bang for the buck' ratio is more or less the same for both camera’s if you ask me. You get what you pay for. Enough talk now: the installation All I did was a fresh Armbian desktop v5.20 …

Hi, I'm planning on buying Orange Pi Zero and before I do that, I want to make sure I won't regret anything after buying it. I'm planning on using the pi zero as a wireless router with its built-in wifi, but I read on some posts that the driver XR819 itself has some issues, like heating up the board or high ping. So please suggest me which distro I should use for the pi zero that has no wifi issues. Thank you.

Guys, is this ever happening? Jessie on C1+ doesn't work good enough, throws kernel panics and so on. Is Stretch still happening?

Hello Everyone 🤗, I'm not too familiar with Armbian or ARM-based platforms in general. I'm working on an endeavour that calls for creating a unique kernel module, thus any advice or materials you could offer would be really helpful.

My objective is to create a unique kernel module that communicates with a particular piece of hardware—a temperature sensor attached to the I2C bus. The module's job is to read sensor data and provide user-space applications with access to it. Actions To Date: K…

Hi guys, After trying multiple things and not getting a satisfying result, I decided to just ask: What is best device to use as a low power torrent downloader? I tried with a raspberry pi 2, but kept getting huge fluctuations in speed, as soon as it had to write to usb (on an expensive high speed usb 3 stick). I googled and googled, and came across the orange pi, which had a more powerfull soc, and didn't have the limitation of using a single usb hub that is shared for ethernet+storage. The boards (bought a PC and a one) finally arrived, but they disappoint. Using armbian, real world average speed seems to be even lower than the rpi2. I must admit I used a …

Just thought I would introduce myself and start on my 5 approved posts requirements. ETAPrime is the reason I found out about this project and it's something I'd like to help out with when/where I can. I currently have a few Raspberry Pi 3 B and 3 B+.

I have been having some long running, on and off discussion with @lanefu in IRC (and elsewhere), because I know this is his area of expertise. However he is busy, and I can appreciate he might not want to spend his free time talking about stuff he gets paid to do M-F. Then I also realized, certainly I am not the only one interested in Armbian in order to be doing such things. So I thought I would make a thread about this, instead, to open the discussion to a larger group people here in the broader community. I have my own thoughts, concerns, things I want to do, and have already done, but I thought I would make a more general thread where like …

I know that you have a lot of to do, because there is a lot of new single boards... For considerate for the future support.: Nano pi k1 plus with H5 allwinner cpu. And also renegade single board from libre computers based on Rockchip RK 3328 the same as rock64. Both cpu's are supported in other boards so it will be easer.

It so happened that I removed the Tinker OS (Android) and now when you connect it to the monitor the screen is black and the PC can not recognize it can you help me install the OS in Tinker ?

Hi, Just joined to say thanks to all to those that are involved in the development of Armbian. I recently bought an Orange Pi PC after reading the internet full of people bitching about non-booting devices, HDMI issues, overheating and general crapness. Decided to buy a Orange Pi PC nonetheless, found an old crap micro SD card, burnt Armbian (the internet has made it clear to not bother with the crap on the official Orange Pi website!) onto it and the thing booted without any issues! Typing this message from it as we speak in Iceweasel! The thing only cost me 9 quid, so decided to donate what I would have wasted in cash on a Raspberry Pi 3 (which is anything b…

Overpriced but absolutely gorgeous. GPD Pocket Mini Laptop I would love an ARM mini netbook with the same form factor (no trackpad) although only a 40-50% price cut could make it interesting to my pockets.

At FOSDEM 2020, in roughly a few days (at 2pm, Sunday 2nd of Feb, Brussels time), there will be a livestreamed explanation given of the “FOSDEM Video Box” HDMI capturing devices. They use almost 60 of these ARM-based devices during the FOSDEM conference to capture both the video output of all presenters laptops, and the video and audio of the camera filming of the presenter. Serious video hackery accomplishes this. I would encourage anyone interested to check out the bio of Luc Verhaegen, one of the presenters. Using these "Video Boxes", FOSDEM inexpensively streams 720p videos of all 800+ presentations! This is a small m…

Hi. I use Armbian 22.05 Jammy Kernel 5.17 on my rock 3a. The blinking blue is very annoying. How can i stop this LED?

Hello guys, After seeing a friend bought and tried a Raspberry Pi 5 device, I am very excited about what can be done with such a small single-board computer. So now I'm interested in getting a suitable single-board computer to buy. What SBC is suitable to buy if I want to use virtualization sofware such as VMware ESXi for ARM? Running multiple OS at once, is my mainly use. Getting used to Intel CPU & Windows and now I want to switch to ARM and Linux environment. Thanks in advanced.

I'm running Openwrt CC on orange pi zero, I use it as a router with its built-in wifi. When I transfer files from my computer to the opiz, I get 1MBps of transfer speed, is this normal ? Is it possible to increase the transfer speed by using an external USB wifi ? On my android phone it gets even worse, even loading pictures from the opiz through ES File Manager lags a lot.

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 …

Hi all, I have a Rpi 3B+ where I am running Pihole with Unbound. As a secondary DNS, I am planning to use an Odroid HC1 which will also be running other stuff. Today I installed Armbian_20.05.7_Odroidxu4_buster_current_5.4.50_minimal.img and started the installation of Pihole, which went through just fine. Then I attempted to install Unbound, but got an error message. The command I run was: sudo apt install unbound -y And this is what was returned: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following additional packages will be installed: libevent-2.1-6 libpython3.7 libunbound8 unbound-anchor Su…

Grabbed the latest Jammy download for NanoPi Neo 2 - https://redirect.armbian.com/nanopineo2/Jammy_current Have to ask - why servers preinstalled and default configured? I found NFS/rpcbind and OpenVPN preinstalled on the image - this is a security risk that can be easily avoided.

Hi, No sure if this is the place to post this but here it goes. I use the Debian distro for my armbian deployments. Every time I deploy, and the system comes with systemd-resolved it gives me problems. I always have to remove it and use the /etc/resolv.conf file by it self. I would suggest removing this, it's not necessary or useful. -Cheers

Hi to all, another little question whit Armbian 5.31 Stable on Orangepi+2E. I installed a transmission-daemon that works perfectly but when typing the transmission-remote command for scripting torrent management from terminal the system responds command not found. I thought the command was included in the transmission-daemon installation (according from man transmission-daemon), something wrong? thx a lot and sorry for my bad english

i know you guys cant support every board thats outthere and it has been a wonderful ride with my cubieboard, few hickups in general armbian was the only reason i didnt bin that board when i got it just a little bit sad so see it go from supported devices but still i get it. its time to move on for newer and better boards. and with that said do you guys and a good suggestion for a replacement board that has a sata connection etc and thats gonna have a good timeline for support by Armbian ?

I've been considering some options for experiments with electronic wind instruments and synthesizers, such as ZynAddSubFx, Fluidsynth. I've seen project Zynthian and they are running it on a Raspberry Pi 3, so that should be a safe choice, right? Although I'm not sure if they are using some mainstream Debian or something heavily adjusted. Also, for a wind instrument I hoped to find something smaller so I can even build it into the instrument itself; although I don't have my hopes high on that - I'm not sure if I'll find an SBC with enough power. I happen to be one of lucky (or not) backers of NextThingCo C.H.I.P. (now mostly out-of-busi…

Hello! Firstly, I would like to thank the Armbian devs for their awesome work, without it a lot of my boards would have such a poor support... I am currently doing a school project which involves embedded pentesting, using a drone. I am looking for: the cheapest (we have a limited budget) the most powerful (to use some tools such as password cracking) the most energy efficient (it will running on powerbank/batteries) the lightest and the smallest (to be embedded in a drone) it has to have full size USB ports/OTG/headers (to connect an external powerful WiFi adapter) and if possible, has to have WiFi embedded (we might control …

dear communuity which tool do you use for wrinting images to SD-CARD - i am on Manjaro -linux iwould love to try etcher or imagewrinter

Hi! It seems http://www.cubieforums.com/ is dead (can't sign up), so may I ask here. Is anybody tried to install Android TV on a CubieTruck? I have armbian booting from Sd Card, so I want to have similar SD Card (128Gb), but with Android TV. So - is this possible? What version of Android TV we can use? links appreciated!

Hi everyone. tell me: I'm making a print server for the hp designjet t520 printer based on armbian and orange pi pc2. data transmission over a wi-fi network (railink 7600u). there are some problems: no ppd driver for this printer, usb-ip, ipp-everywhere, hp pcl6 do not work. the printer, even after upgrade firmware, does not understand data transfer via usb, only rj45. cups, hp lip does not understand the printer. in the windows settings of the printer for the print server set-generic network card, hp jet direct-data transfer is in progress, only when microsoft color publisher printer is selected, the printer transfers a file with normal weight, but there is a limitation …

Hi, I was able to perform serial communication (uart1, uart2, uart3) on Orange Pi PC with the arbiam operating system. Now, I need to perform the same communication using another operating system (Debian or Ubuntu). I can not set the pins on uart. Anyone have any tips? thank you Att, Rafael

Hey everyone, I flashed an SD card using Etcher and the latest armbian image for Orange Pi PC. I am using a Samsung 2A usb power supply + the official usb power cord. I'm not getting any output on the HDMI. Is this something I have to SSH to first? I removed a USB WiFi adapter and it seemed to work. I don't know why or how that could've caused an issue (since a different WiFi adapter seems to work just fine), but whatever, it works.19.99 euros to dollars

Igor (or other admins), My account (Charles Morton/Chuck the Duck) seems to be stuck in validating and wont let me post or message. Can you please help unlock it.

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

Hi, I'm looking a newer armbian iso image which contains those futures. Is there any link? I'm going to test on Turing RK1 (RK3588) machine. Regards.

Today I had a chance to test OV5640 on mainline kernel 4.17.2 and see the status of OV5640 and CSI drivers, thanks to FE work and the author of the driver (help name here...). I tested on NanoPi K1 Plus (H5) to verify the images in very low light conditions, so don't expect good quality. I could take some images using fswebcam and you should expect basic v4l2 functionality already works if not all. I think motion (did not test / had time to test it) can work with current OV5640 on mainline kernel. Grabbing Image is very fast, currently, Image size I can get are 320x240 and 640x480 pixels, above this i get a dark image. I have not looked at the driver source cod…

The company behind the Geekbox (my only SBC I still never booted ) in the meantime more known for their Amlogic Vim/Vim2 boards also joins the RK3399 bandwagon with a concept similar to Geekbox. A core module to be combined with a carrier board: Since it's just another RK3399 design Armbian support later is likely.

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.

Hello, I spent many hours looking for any working solution how to access my Armbian desktop behind NAT and router with not static IP address over Internet. But I failed at all. In the course of my research I tried VNC Connect by RealVNC, TeamViever, AnyDesk and Google Chrome Remote Desktop. And found neither one working on Armbian. The first tree in the list got installed, but not worked. Maybe because all these were built for Rapsbian, not Armbian. The last one did not get installed at all. No idea why. May be because I had to install it into the Chromium browser, not the Chrome as Chrome is not available for armhf. May be it is not ready for armhf yet. …

I'm having some success installing Debian on Raspberry Pi 3B+ and thought I'd proceed with making an Armbian build in order to have equivalent environments with other boards in my cluster. Is there any process/channel for this or should I just make a PR on the repo? What are some particular prerequisites I should be aware of that might block it from merging? I am very aware of armbian's stance on Raspberry Pi, and I understand you do not want to support it officially (if nothing else because you'd have difficulty handling the incoming clueless users), but I think there are a lot in the intended armbian audience who have Raspis lying around who would be ha…

Perhaps someone will be interested in the new model, as long as there is a discount. https://www.firefly.store/goods.php?id=140

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 all. Last weekend PINE64 was on FOSDEM with many new products. The PineBook Pro with RK3399. The new designed PINE H64 with the H6, now with wifi on-board and a small form-factor. That one's comming out next week. The PinePhone. A prototype of the PinePhone with an A64 SoC and 2GB of RAM. The PineCam. A multi-funtional network camera. A new SNES case. Exciting times to come with all that. I've made a video about it all. You can see it here. Greetings, NicoD

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 ?

Call to Action: Armbian donation round. Dear members of the community, Do you love the armbian OS? Are you frustrated by bugs or problems within armbian? Do you wish that armbian was even better with more releases? If the answer is yes keep reading because there may be a solution. As you know the dedicated team of developers here code this project in their spare time to develop an incredible Linux OS for our ARM devices. They do this for the love of this hobby and we all benefit from it because it is an open source project. One of the hurdles is the fast compiling of the armbian OS. To solve this i…

Hi, Idea is to run a wireguard server having two ethernet devices, therefore added an USB3 adapter "ASIX AX88179" to my rockpi4a. I like to allow incoming traffic, incl SSH, on "eth1". Instead, outgoing, on eth0 ( RTL8211E ) I wrote following ( preps, nmcli, iptables ) up - but perhaps there is an easier approach and I am sure I am missing other (routing) stuff, for sure the forwarding part. Anyway perhaps there is one to guide me a bit, TiA! 1/ preparations apt update && apt -y upgrade && apt -y install firmware-realtek nano /boot/armbianEnv.txt # add extraargs=n…

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…
