Wouldn't it be easier to simply ask for it? I mean I would not tell but hey...

Just wanted to point out that a new aluminum case is available for the Odroid-C2 that not only looks cool, but keeps your Odroid from throttling due to heat. Fourdee over at DietPi did a really nice review of the case - http://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=730 What do you guys think?

Hello, I just bought a CubieTruck Plus and I'm looking for ARMBIAN release. What should I take? It must compile a new version? Thank you for your answers.

hello and good evening Armbian-experts, Can I use GitHub as free unlimited cloud storage? well i guess no btw: I have found out the following: https://help.github.com/articles/what-is-my-disk-quota/ https://help.github.com/articles/about-storage-and-bandwidth-usage/ **conclusion:** well - i guess that the github folders are public unless to pay for service? **but wait:** What about Bitbucket: this seems to be a good idea - Bitbucket has free private repos. love to hear from you

Hello Folks I'm after some advice. I've been an avid user of Raspberry Pi's for some time and just love how good they are for tinkering around with without breaking my larger main system, helps me learn all the time. I've recently started using my Raspberry Pi (3b+) to automate several task. I have three mono and two python services running, well I say running...... Essentially if any more than two of these need to process data together the pi can't cope. Top command tells me RAM usage is often 90-100% and the CPU running at between 115-130% before system starts to error out and SSH becomes inaccessible. I feel like I need a…

This could be old news, but my plex update today threw a message out on the console (apt upgrade) that official armv7 and armv8 packages are available. This should be a pretty solid performance boost for most of us I would imagine, the old packages were fro armel NAS boxes. Testing it out on my XU4.

Hey there, most of you probably already know about the Armbian IRC channel that came back to live a while ago. If not pause reading here and check out this topic and resume here after done: Hey, you found your way back. Nice. As stated I want to give away IRC bouncers for whoever likes to have one. It is not bound to Freenode (although it will come pre-configured for #armbian and I would appreciate to see you hang around there ). You are free to connect any IRC network you want as long as it is IPv6 capable. You don't know what a bouncer is? Pause reading and check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BNC_(software) A…

I run Armbian on a SanDisk 64GB micro SD card -- using it on Asus TB. Most of the SD card is free space and while I want to keep Armbian as is for the TB, I want to create a multi-OS folder for music and photos. I.e. to use on Android phone, Win PC, Linux Mint computer, etc. Are there any Armbian drawbacks to creating/having such a folder? If not, should I use Armbian to create the empty folder (henceforth, it will be filled with files from multiple devices)? Is there a "best" location to create this generic folder within the Ambian OS card--i.e., as a sub-folder of a default Armbian directory?

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 …

Hi! I am using armbian nightly image on my Orange Pi PC 2. Need I every time unpack a new build to the memory card to keep system up to date, or there is enought to make upgrade with apt? I mean will I get all the same updates as on fresh images from the armbian's repository?

http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_K1_Plus RPi 3 form factor like their K2, maximum DRAM (2GB), Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi with onboard aerial provided by RTL8189ETV, still using their own/new eMMC socket. According to schematics and their Github repo a SY8106A voltage regulator is used which is great news since then it's possible to clock the H5 well above 1.3 GHz.

https://github.com/MockbaTheBorg/RunCPM there is a nice little CP/M emulator which do compile fine under armbian. (There is also a version for the Arduino DUE with SD-Hat or a ESP32/Teensy) With that you can run many CP/M-Software like Wordstar, dBase II and so on Special on this emulation is that it do use directorys as drives The directory A (or A/0/) would be Drive A> Maybe you also want do something retro this weekend? Here is how I did compile/install it on my OPi One: compile RunCPM: =============== install ncurses-dev and lua: ============================ apt install libncurses5-dev liblua…

Didn't know this thing was ever going to see the light of day: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Lichee-Pi-Zero-1GHz-Cortex-A7-512Mbit-DDR-Development-Board-Module-Mini-PC/32931418720.html I see the original board outline is still there, but it grew a bit of a waistline A valid question is why, and I'm not sure, nor will I buy it, just thought it interesting that it popped up. With complete kernel support for VDEC/VENC/ camera this is actually somewhat interesting, so maybe some people would like to play with it. I'm sure @Icenowy knows more than is humanly possible about the capabilities and whether it's worth talking about.

I've seen TKaiser make reference to different SOC's as good, bad, etc. and was wondering if there is any info available on the forum about the different SOC's. The good, the bad, the ugly, etc. would be really good. I've gotten several boards, but later I found the armbian site, and the forum where I've seen bad comments about different SOC's. I might be looking for a new board to play with in the future, and knowing which SOC is good, or bad would be really nice to know before starting the research on the next pi like device.

Looking to find out why the Orange Pi OS Build isn't finding this file. Tried on two separate Linux 18.04 OS and neither has this file. When running Build_OrangePi.sh, right after entering the initial password, it drops out and claims the file lib32z1-dev not locate able. The only thing I can think is I need to install the SDK to build the OrangePi OS for this? Trying to do this from the Orange Pi Git Hub. https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/OrangePi_Build Thanks for any help.

I just updated my LCD library to make use of ArmbianIO. Now you can easily talk to those inexpensive LCDs from your ARM SBC. You can find the code here: https://github.com/bitbank2/nokia5110

You can't read every interesting news blog, annotation etc. about stuff related to tech, linux whatever is in this field. Open a new thread for all those stuff you might share with others here ends that also nobody reads it cause it's spread though various threads. So why not share them all in one thread? Idea: Share a link to the article in this thread with a short teaser what the article is about and maybe some opinions why you like the article. It should not be 'post link only without any description what the article is about'. So, I'll start with the first one (not that recent, but I think it's still worth to read): http://kroah.com…

Hello, how are you doing? I bring here on the forum my simple contribution to the ARM community, it is slackware-current and Armbian for TVBox mxq4k, Sunvell R69, opengl activated in Mali400. Any doubts I am available https://www.slackwaretvbox.com.br/

Which do you think is the current SBC better suited as a (light) desktop? I think it would not be the one with the fastest CPU, but the one with the better software support for graphics acceleration and general usage. I have bee using a Raspberry Pi and it's fine, but it chokes because of insufficient memory.

The download page of armbian has a pretty good UI. I am interested to know how this page is generated, is there a php backend generating the directory listing? Or, is it a static html with bootstrap? link: https://dl.armbian.com/rockpi-e/

Hi We've made a patch for the current a64 megous 5.10 kernel which enables writing to the 2K SID/Efuse security area of the A64/R18 processor. Our initial investigations have found that the A64 doesn't seem to match the tables found in the SID Register Guide, however we've proceeded to perform various write tests and are presenting our results here for anyone that may found it useful in further development. There shouldn't be any issues using the same patch in the 5.14 kernel, as the driver code is still the same. The patch won't be pushed upstream, and is for dev purposes only, as the original intend of the driver is to be read-only. (This is EFUSE area …

i want to dive into the creating of file-systems on Linux. so i have some ideas: can you give me some hints on these steps. can i break all down and say so: - in order to do the very first steps in creating a file system ... basically, I'm trying to do the following steps: - create a disk image of about 500MB; - create a GPT; - create a FAT32 partition in the first 300MB(I'll call it UEFI); - create a FAT32 partition in the remaining bytes(I'll call it SYSTEM); - create the following subdirectory in the UEFI partition: /EFI/BOOT/; that said we have the following things: Layouting a disk image and copyin…

Seems that hardware accelerated Videodecoding & GPU usage is the new 'hot topic' at the moment. A lot of this stuff is discussed in various topics and threads and subforums here. As nice at it is to bring this topics up, it's hard to follow them across the forum and when those questions come up from users you have to link the to a bunch of topics which they probably don't read cause it's simply to much to read (I now that this is a shitty argument, but reading is boring for most people in those days.. ). So why does it make sense to open another thread targeting this topic? This should summarize the things that work, no suggestions what could work, should work,…

I've been testing Pi Hole for a few days on an Orange Pi PC with ARMBIAN jessie, connected to the network by the ethernet port. Pi Hole which is the last thing I installed. A few years ago I have OPi PC as UPnP server, VPN, DHCP, print, samba, transmission, jdownloader, BtSync, and something else that now I do not fall (curiously I did not have it as a server dns), without problems of operation since I am using Since I installed Pi Hole, if the ethernet connection loses link for a moment, for example because the router reboots, the connection stays fried, it is not able to lift when the link returns.

I am trying to keep the Rock64 I have running on Armbian 10 Buster Version running Home Assistant in a Docker container running 24 hrs a day 7 days a week. It seems like it the OS goes into s sleep mode or power savings mode and I can not keep it up running 24 hrs a day. When it is up and running works very good but is there any settings in the OS that I can access from terminal (no running any gui or desktop) that I can invoke to keep it up and on line all the time?

I have seen many Wifi Benchmarks for speed only and not for reliability. I stopped doing wifi benchmarks for speed since i get very different values for the same board a few hours later,. For real life projects reliability and availability is what matters when you depends solely in wifi network. I would strongly suggest @tkaiser to include "reliability" in his tests, maybe a new thread. As for example you can try iperf with -t 1000, -t 2000, -t 3000 and -t 10000 (if it allows?). Try this with your board and see what happens...

Somebody knows how much current at 5 volts the USB3 connectors of the Odroid C4 can deliver? The board itself is powered with 12 volts. From the schematics I could find two JW7111S switches for up to 2.4 amps. But the page seems to be a duplicate siince they have the same page number.

So my whole goal with java-periphery was to create a decent cross platform userspace IO library which I believe I have achieved. One of my other goals was to create a high performance GPIO API that's also cross platform. If you look around there aren't any from what I can tell. Most high performance GPIO libraries support only a few boards. What I've done is use a well known interface (GPIO device) and some MMIO code to detect deltas and generate the required resisters and masks from an input file. This surely beats doing this by hand which I tried at first. The result is code that supports Allwinner H2+/H3 and H5/H6 by using just an input file. I'm going to look at other…

Hey I managed to get the WiringOP libraries to build with the Python WiringPi libraries on my OPI One. I wrote up a quick gist and made a dinky fork to save some people some time: Orange PI WiringPi-Python Gist PS: Igor, TKaiser, and other contributors. Armbian is a really great distro. I'm very grateful for all your hard work.

@w0ndersp00n - I moved this here, not to hijack the Mayan thread Building it, sounds a bit similar to here: https://github.com/armbian/autotests After cloning, Igor runs an initial part of the script. Once it configured itself (and you have adjusted the configuration file) you run the script again. A similar approach could be done for DMS Paperless I guess. I agree, Mayan has business like options. Do you want it for business or private use? Not sure what exactly you mean by web-upload, paperless offers: Currently, there are three options: the consumption directory, IMAP (email), and HTTP POST.

Hello, I'm tearing my hair out. Help would be much appreciated. Initially, I installed Armbian on an SD card and successfully installed tvheadend and got the tuner to scan successfully. Great, or so I thought. Time to build my 'real' system on a eMMC. After many repeated builds, I cannot, for the life of me, get a successful scan.

For a few years now I've used a Cubietruck as a "gateway" for my home network - it mostly just runs nginx as a reverse proxy for the various other computers I have to expose them to the internet via HTTPS. It still runs as good as it always has, I chose it for the task because: 2GB RAM at the time a reasonably fast CPU - dual 1GHz A7's "real" gigabit network interface built in battery management, so no need to worry about power failures corrupting anything sata support for local disk All of these points are now no longer relevant. Over the years I have amassed a few more SBC's, many of which also have 2GB RAM, a faster CPU,…

Hi all. I've always been using the OPi+ as NAS. That gets me up to 13MB/s. More than enough for me. All that is on it are backups, movies and mp3's. It's only got 100Mbps ethernet. And the attached storage devices can't do a lot more either. A USB2 external HDD and a 2.5" HDD. I once tried the same with my OPi+2 and didn't see any changes in network transfer rates. Didn't mind, because I was happy with it. Now I've got the Odroid HC4. Both sata HDDs get +100MB/s read and write. But my network transfer speed is again 13MB/s. I'm using a Gbit router with 5Ghz wifi and the 5Ghz wifi on M4V2. Also OMV on Buster mainline on the HC4 with smb share. For…

After being frustrated with the lack of accurate information regarding how to overclock Armbian systems I have decided to create a YouTube tutorial so I can provide a more comprehensive guide to what I consider to be the correct process to overclock a processor in a more universal way so that it won’t matter which processor your using or kernel your running. link to video will follow.

So I see lots of comments re how bad the A64 and H5 SBCs are. Is anyone having good luck with any ARMv8 system? I will note that I had decent stability using the Odroid C2 with Hardkernel's own images, which run 64-bit mode. But maybe something better has emerged?

I split this off to it's own topic, as it became more about Librem 5 which was offtopic from the original discussion. Being someone aware of Libreboot for some years now, I was never a fan of Purism and the BS they pulled with their laptops, which meant either: they knew fully libre firmware was not possible, and lied (or) they really wanted to do as stated, but ran face first into a wall due to lack of knowledge / research beforehand (about Intel IME issues) And so, back then I never really paid much attention to them, thinking (like you do) that they were just another company "cashing in" as you say, and everything from them is all …

Hello. Browsing through my email i note something from long forgotten, useless http://forum.banana-pi.org.

Hi all, This is my first post after reading all the good work this community has done. My goal is to create a cheap cluster of ARM boards. I started with the RPI3 but that's getting expensive real quick and the board isn't that good performance wise. So I started looking for different, cheaper boards but it still wouldn't be cheap enough if you plan to run 30-40 of them. So I started looking at older Smartphones with OpenCL support and came to the Samsung Galaxy S4 (The Exynos version). It is an older phone but once was one of Samsungs flagships and still offers good performance for what I want. I know the Exynos 5410 was used on the Odroid XU, so in my opinio…

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…

*editing because i didn't see the documentation* Proper security practices should result in the page that tells you what key to download being https, instead of http where anyone could theoretically easily modify the key ID and thus your download would appear to verify fine. Its 2016 guys, pretty much any server cpu comes with crypt acceleration it isn't that resource intensive.

Orange Pi Zero with the small expansion board (2x USB, audio out, mic, IR).

Hello Friends, Is anyone aware of jtag support on orangepi 2g/3g/4g iot boards. Looking at the schematics, i could find the tms/tdi etc pins (for 2g/3g/4g iot), but they seem to be not connected to any gpio or other headers. Kindly correct me if wrong. I know these have UART, but am specifically looking for some jtag access. Thanks Tarkshya

Normally you could install (if you use a 64Bit arm-system/OS) the 64Bit version of stockfish with apt install stockfish stockfish is a uci-chess-engine where some Chessboard-Display-Apps can conenct to (later I would show how to use this with TCP) Then you will get (at this time) the Version 8 64Bit = 8 64 = 11/2016 But the actual stockfish-engine is at Version 10 = 12/2018 ( see http://blog.stockfishchess.org/ ) So I did clone the git-master at https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish as .zip After unzipping and cd to ./Stockfish-master/src you could do -make clean -make help BUT there is for arm on…

Goodmorning, i would like to ask if someone have ever tried to use musl libc with Armbian. From some research appear that using it instead of glibc make programs consume a lot less ram and less space on disk. I never tried personally, but i'm curious about that because it could be especially useful for single board computer with less than 2gb of ram (like mine ). Since, from what i know, programs do not statically link to glibc, but dynamically link to a generic libc at runtime, could be possible to use musl as drop in replacement for libc, without rebuild everything? From what i know there could be some incompatibilities because glibc does not fully respect the…

Hi all, I am building an art project, and I love the hardware specs of Orange Pi PC for it. I have a graphical Java app (built in Processing) that runs on a HDMI display, and unsurprisingly it doesn't run well without a GPU. On RPi 3B+/Diet Pi I've got it up around 24 fps using KMS, and I'm happy with that performance, but now I'm porting it to the OPi so I'm kinda starting from scratch again. I am aware of the amazing work going on with Panfrost although I've had issues installing it on my board with Buster Desktop. In general Armbian on Orange Pi PC seems pretty great, amazing even. But I'm only getting about 1 frame every 5 seconds with my Java/Processing a…

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…

Accidentally clicked on kodi while looking for smtube and surprised to see it on my SPI display - no more DRI authentication errors :-) This was on a OPI Prime (H5), kernel 4.17.10.

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.

howdy On Linux, the root account is a special user account on Linux that has access to all files, all commands and whatsoever i have Armbian system on a Banana Pi and i ve forgotten the passwd. the question is: how can we change the root password on Debian 10 damned: i ve heard that To change the root password on Debian, i need to have sudo privileges but wait: i do not have the actual password of the root account. $ sudo -l User <user> may run the following commands on host-debian: Well i guess that i should be able to change the root password. but wait: dont have t…

Hi, I decided to sell my Helios64 full bundle: - Helios64 box (case, board, UPS) - 5 3.5" HDD trays (+ screws) - 2 PSU (the original one and an additional compatible Synology one I bought because I saw some posts where people reported a broken PSU) It served me well during 2 years, however the lack of official support and missing features are showstoppers for me, and I recently replaced it with a custom x86 build. I am sure people here would be interested in it. The Helios64 works perfectly and is in very good shape, it was off the most of the time, I only started it when I needed to make a backup. The board is untouched (I di…

Hi after check every where no find a good news i install mysql-server and mysql-client not problem for installation but after the first reboot the service not start again apparmor is down because => AppArmor not available as kernel LSM i put in /boot => boot.cmd => apparmor=1 security=apparmor no more up service so no have more idea thank's Xavier

For anyone interested I have pushed the sources to github here: https://github.com/avafinger/ffmpeg-3.3.4_cedrus264 Feel free to try. It has been tested on A64, R40 and possibly will work on H5 too. Cross compiling and re-writing the package in a compliant way would speedup things.

Hi, is there a way to automate how the nand-sata-install works - for example, if my image is on an SD card and I want to flash my emmc card on boot - can that be automated somehow? I tried looking at the documentation, but no luck. Thank you!

Newbie Using LinuxMint 21.3 I have been searching for answer to below question, and have been referred to UserSpace as it may have an answer. Referral from greg kh on Linusfoundation org. Question: Linux Mint 21.3 Using LibreCalc With USB RFID tag readers, (2 or more reader) most enter direct into open focus spreadsheet. However with no device number. Have same pid and vid. As the read from USB tag goes to the spreadsheet, can the device number eg 03 and the bus number eg 004 (either or both) be appended to the data read, into the spreadsheet. This would enable spreadsheet identify each reader and its location, to manipulate the tag …

Hi ! Situation: I have to sync automaticaly some small files beetween Windows and Armbian on Orange Pi One. How can I do? I don't see any possibility ... please help me !!!!

Since I've a pile of these boards lying about, and really prefer a proper case to a plastic one, I have one particular one that stood out to me: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079CF5FNX/ The case is aluminum, with machined end blocks and a perforated top. This would be my recommendation for any hot board like the Tinker Board, and to be honest the one I bought is quite nicely put together, with a somewhat industrial feel. Does anyone else have a favorite? I'm not really talking about those zebra cases or open-air acrylic/standoff sandwiches.

I must admit I don't really know what to do with my sbc's. After getting them set up there is nothing more I could think of to use them for. I guess part of the fun is in getting them set up, and to run them cool during native kernel builds. Just so it's not a complete waste of money, I spent more (though not a lot) to add dual screens to some of them. Any ideas what else I could use them for? I already have music players (a lot of them, DACs), NAS, home control, security camera, what else do you use them for? I haven't left any of them outside in the sun yet to try out solar power. So, I added dual screens to these ones (left to right, counter clockwise)…

You may want to try this if your orangepi zero plus with NAS IO expansion combination is running too hot, with Nanopi neo 2 it runs a bit cooler (~ 65 vs 70 in full load). Not sure if it is because of the slower CPU speed or the more exposed heat sink.

Figured I'd start a thread dedicated to the Rockchip RK3566 since Pine64 announced the Quartz64 and Chinese suppliers have released the H96 Max RK3566.

Which section on this forum is for Lemaker Banana Pro SBCs? I think it's the Allwinner A20 forum, but right now I'm not sure as the Banana Pro is not in the list for this section?

I have followed this guide for Firefly SDK Buildroot and I am unable to get the shell on uart2(ttyS2) or fiq-debugger port.
