The minimal (Bookworm) torrent of Orange Pi PC2 was only shared by one source when I added it today, and that source is only at 71%. Not sure if this is another person also trying to download and the original source no longer shared, or if this is the original source and it is broken. I can ofc download the file via https, but felt I wanted to let you know.

Which one is better from below two options >> (1) Western Digital WD Blue 250 GB M.2 2280 SATA Internal Solid State Drive (WDS250G2B0B) OR (2) Samsung 860 EVO Series 250GB M.2 SATA Internal Solid State Drive (MZ-N6E250BW) Please suggest as per your experiences...

Can someone tell me what does R6 in this LM358 circuit diagram do? I guess R6 is part of the square wave generator that forms the b diagram. R6 accelerates the transition of the output state of the op amp through positive feedback to cross the indeterminate state, and acts as a Schmitt trigger. Guys do you agree?

Hi there , I’m Jimmy. First post here... apologies in advance for any questions that might sound dumb. My plan: buy Android TV boxes and install Armbian to run browsers and remote control using AnyDesk. I chose Android TV boxes - everything is complete and contained in a small box + very cheap. For £45 for example, I can get with power supply - with 2GB RAM - not sure about processor though. - Should I consider other options? Like Orange Pi? I've got a 3rd generation Raspberry Pi - that is so poor for speed, chokes on one or 2 browser tabs. (I haven't tried Armbian - I will be doing shortly.) - N…

Is there a good resource for what's currently being developed by the major SBC manufacturers? I am curious about what is being developed and when it is coming out. I'm thinking about expanding my cluster by another 10 or 20 nodes but I don't want to invest now if something great is going to be released soon. I am most interested in FriendlyARM and OrangePi boards as they seem to have a good performance/value ratio around the $35 price point but I am interested in what all major manufacturers are doing. Is there anywhere to read about development? Or is anyone here privy to what's next for low cost ARM based SBCs?

@nicod I saw it on the other thread. It’s worthy of its own post. That rig captures the essence of what makes hacking on SBCs so great. Lane Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi everyone, I’m working on an RK3568-based platform (Yocto build, Rockchip BSP) and I’ve reached a blocker regarding OP-TEE / Trusted Application (TA) development.

I have playing with compile.sh CREATE_PATCHES=yes There is a guide here https://zuckerbude.org/armbian-using-create-patches/ I also read this before https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_User-Configurations/#user-provided-patches So if someone is a profession developer and understands how to use diff and patch commands, then please understand that I am not, so please help but keep it as newbie as you can. So when I came across this CREATE_PATCHES option I though, ooh that's clever. I can make changes to u-boot or kernel source and it will create the patch files for me, and then I can put those patch files on my github fork of build, o…

Hi. What's the difference between armhf and arm64 for .deb packages?

Hello, [sorry if this is in the wrong forum category] I am a new user and have got my OPi zero running up until the console (starting message), via ethernet. I have used a router with IP 192.168.4.1 as DHCP server, which is not connected to internet. The routing table is accordingly similar to [1] Wifi is not yet set up. When I want to, it should connect to a different AP/router (say operating as 192.168.1.1 seen over wlan0), and therefore also the routes have to be adjusted. My question is: can I delete the default route in [1] while still retaining connection to the Pi via Ethernet? (from the PC which is on the 192…

I'd like to run a small network server, nodejs, PHP. size is NOT important never turned off => power consumption is somewhat important at least 80 GB of storage, needs SSD support (?), if so, would hope it can boot from SSD 100 Mbps is ok would prefer a score of at least 1000 on Passmark Thank you for any suggestions

Sorry to ask, does anyone have a howto make a h6 board (orange pi 3 lts) work with 264 hw DECODE? All howtos i can find uses old mainline not available to the LTS version Im trying to use VLC and MPV but no hwdec is working.. there is a custom launch parameter? Thank you in advance

Hi. I want to experiment building own WiFi-router so it definitely need stable Ethernet and WiFi. Next I want build something like home automation withing this board, so I think it should have a 2GB ram and A53 cores(64bit+performant). Think Sata is not important yet. Maybe way later I will try casting something to tv via WiFi(not HDMI). Of course I'm looking at OPi win plus/prime or Nanopi k2. They are very cheap, but are they of enough quality? Or I should choose something else?

Hello, I have been messing around with a few orange pi's. Mainly to run an IoT device and manage it with snap's and ubuntu core.

Hi all, If anyone is interested, I have a Helios64 backup battery pack lying around that I did order back in the day, but never got around to installing/using it. (Have a separate UPS.) From my guess this thing is <6 years old, but again, never seen any charge or discharge. PM me when interested.

FriendlyARM does introduce the term LTS for SBCs For the following NanoPis the will now promise LTS: - NanoPi NEO Core2-LTS = http://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=69&product_id=211 - NanoPi NEO2-LTS = http://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=180 - NanoPi NEO Air-LTS = http://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=69&product_id=151 This is a quote from their webpage and this products:

Hi Scrolling through the forum I realized how old this SBC is that I purchased but I had no choice since basically all other options are out of stock in my country with lead-times past this year... I am looking for someone that can assist me. I replaced a failed Raspberry Pi 4 with this Banana Pi bpi-m4 board thinking that it would perform and work as a like-for-like replacement. Unfortunately, it is not the case but I am stuck with it. Is there anyone that can assist me to build a 64bit Armbian image? I enjoy Armbian on an Odroid XU4 but the generic and existing Banana Pi images does not work on the bpi-m4. Sadly my software engineering skill…

Igor, Like the new direction... you have the best image for all boards, and I like how you're formalizing it. One thing I noticed, you don't have any SSL during account creation and login. Granted this isn't a bank, but it would be nice if you enabled SSL during login and account creation. Especially these days with all the security breaches we have. Cheers.

Hello, is there something like a VirtualBox that can emulate a BP(M1) hardware, that can run Armbian inside? I'm looking for a way to set up a new Armbian system for a BPM1, without having to shut down the running one longer than absolutely necessary. I have done this before with Linux servers: I installed and configured a hole server inside a VirtualBox alongside my normal computer work, then I copied the image to the real disk and swapped the disks, with a downtime of only about 5 minutes. So I was wondering if this was possible with the BananaPi as well.

Hi, I am trying to run armclang on Ubuntu (running in WSL2 on Windows 11). I have downloaded and installed Arm Dev Studio 2022.1 for Linux, by following the instructions in the Getting Started Guide: getting_started_101469_2021.2_00_en.pdf I ran: $ armds-2022.1.sh followed by: $ run_post_install_for_Arm_Development_Studio_2022.1.sh The install appears to have completed ok, but I don't know how to add the license. One would normally use the IDE to do so but I can't get the GUI to work in WSL2 (theoretically WSL2 on Windows 11 supports graphical apps). Is it possible to configure the license from the command line? A long shot: has a…

I copied the system from http://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-pcto a 8GB SD and installed it in OrangePi PC, which works OK withe some other distros. - No connection with SSH - No visual (The card HDMI might be broken. No visual with Raspbian either) - The LED lights up abt. 10sec after power-on on the board as well as the LEDs by RJ45 connector Tested with bot Jessie and Trusty. I inserted the Trusty card to my Linux Mint 17.3 laptop and edited /etc/network/interface.default. There is only local, no eth0. I wrote static address mantra there and tested, but no go. Fdisk told there is only one partition on the card starting from 2048. - Checked with ping and "nm…

I would like to check the authenticity of the Bionic image I downloaded for my Cubieboard 1. However the downloaded .xz file only contains an .img file.

Hi everyone, I am developing an industrial system using a Raspberry Pi 5 (Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm). Because it is deployed in an environment with abrupt power cutoffs, I am facing an issue where the default pink and white splash screen randomly reappears during boot, overriding my configuration. Here is what I have already implemented to prevent this: Disabled Splash Screen: Added disable_splash=1 to /boot/firmware/config.txt. Read-Only File System: Enabled the native Overlay File System via raspi-config to protect the boot and root partitions from corruption. Industrial Hardware: Tested with high-end storage to rule out basic SD card degradation…

Hi guys, I'd like to install an heatsink on my OPi1. 'cause on summer ambient temps are too high... Can I install an heatsink taken from a mobo chipset on the OPi1? the heatsink is bigger than the h3 cpu, it cover either the cpu and the ram, does this (one heatsink for ram and cpu) will be bad for temp? If I want, instead, buy an heatsink for h3, 14mm or 15mm? ceramic, copper or aluminium? thank you so much

Purpose: Discuss displays that at least someone has tested and/or use, particularly touchscreens/strange resolutions/sizes/alternative technologies (DSI, parallel TFT, SPI, etc) Goal: Have some kind of "This at least worked with this version at that time" resource. Over and over people post things like "I have a Waveshare <XX.YY.ZZ> and Armbian can't do what the vendor kernel that uses a crap kernel full of security holes and crusty drivers can". So, point them here and say: "By the power of Google, I beseech thee, search!" And I have some random stuff lying around.

I would like to drive a 240x180 led strip panel with SPI. I have zero experience with SPI and LEDs. I have chosen a WS2813 IC (four wires) for the LED. The seller has a spi controller, and it drives a max of 2048 LEDs. Does anyone have any experience driving as much as 2048 LEDs in SPI? Please, share your experience and/or projects with LED and SPI in this post. The question is how many LEDs i can drive with SPI and how to calculate it.

Here at the Sunxi page that was linked off an Armbian page for Beelink X2 (Tips, Tricks, Caveats), down the page you see Running Linux on the X2" with a strike-through. Clicking on that goes to a message that says "Thanks for hacking !!! Go back to stone age!!!" I was wondering what that's all about? From my perspective it looks defaced but maybe it's dev humor.

How to mirror only single distro, single platform on some device itself or local LAN? Lets say some device / network needs to be self sufficient.

To be honest I have no clue about mirror structure, are files shared between platforms / releases and other relevant knowledge so I'm just guessing. Wil…

Hello there, This is my first post after just joining this discussion, so please forgive me and provide kind assistance if I have posted to the wrong subsection! As a new member in this forum and wish to share and gain some knowledge. I am looking forward to create my own discussion to resolve my query and gain some knowledge though I have taken part in various discussion which is definitely helped me a lot. Also in what category should be taken depends on what factors? Thankyou in advance.

Hey everyone, I am a tech lover with a passion for single board computers & opensource projects. I want to exploring the capabilities of Armbian and want to share insights on optimizing performance for various applications.

I am grateful. 😊

Hello there, I have been doing research in regards to finding software or a script that has the ability to monitor the microphone noise and compare it to a wav file I have previously recorded. I've found a technique where someone uses SOX and identifies the maximum amplitude of the noise using a ruby script. It sounds like it should work but I'm worried about false positives. I'm curious if there is something out there that compares the microphones sound spectrograph with the wav file in real time? My end goal is to be able to monitor my basements sump pump usage. When the pump runs, the PI listens then, hits a URL using curl which then insert a…

Hi Forum, can I completely backup and restore Armbian boot/root/data partitions with tar (or something similar) and dates, rights, everything is saved and restored and the system boots? I've used Clonezilla up to now, to backup the sd-cards but some say is not needed and runs only on pcs. I would like to backup the sd-cards of one pi with one other.

Hello Armbian Forum! I hope you are all well. It's been more than 5 years since I last visited here, a lot of things has changed in my life since then. I saw my posts complaining about apt speed, that I could get 200kbps speed, now I am building +200gbps infrastructures for tens of thousands of servers. I felt a little bit of nostalgia visiting this forum because of that. And here I am, just I wanted to say hi! I hope you all also had a great time in the last 5 years just like me.

Any reason why even after being registered for a month and having validated my email, I still cannot see any posts in any of the topics on this entire forum? For some reason it was just a mobile phone issue.

Hello, can anybody know how to disable wifi module in armbian?

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 …

Dear Armbians I have an Odroid C4 in use in a DC with 100 MBits synchronous network connection.

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 …

Hi folks, I upgraded my server towards a bigger machine and unfortunately neither my parents nor brothers need a reliable fileserver.

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…

I view on hardware documentation at teres-a64 and different with my tablet is in driver for monitor, teres have a ANX6345(RGB to eDP) and my tablet have a NCS8801S(LVDS to eDP). It's possible to configure to start my display? What do you meen about this?

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. This is a quick synopsis of the assignment and the difficulties I'm having: Project Synopsis: I'm using Armbian Buster on an Orange Pi 4. 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…

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 also have two Libre ROC-RK3399-PC that I'm looking forward to future support on with the community. I also enjoy gaming and 3D printing as my other hobbies. Ask me anything? I guess?

I would like to create an ubuntu desktop image for a rk3066-based dongle (measy u2a). Is there anything in this website where start from? Or something ready-to-try? Will the docs here be helpful? I managed to run armbian on a measy u1a (which has a Allwinner A10) by simply flashing sdcard with an image (Lime A10) found here, I would like to do the same with rk3066. Thanks, Antonio

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 ? I found out that Android has its own utility type(BIOS) on the phone it turns on when you press the appropriate buttons but since I work on the Tinker it becomes a problem !

I like this forum and i would know what motor are using (phpbb2, phpbb3, Invision, punBB, elgg, etc)

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…

Cross-posted from here... 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 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 …

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.

Hello Armbians, I am a newbie here so maybe this topic has been already discussed, if so just point me to it. Thank you. I have several TP Link routers (MR-3020, MR3420) that I would like to play with, especially usin serial connection. Since I am also a newbie in this area too I would like to know if it is possible to use Orange Pi Pc board or any other Orange board to connect to those routers separately without buying those little usb to uart ttl adapters. And if it is possible, which pins from Orange board to use, those 3 TTL pins or the others from the GPIO row. Thank you

Hello. Since NanoPI Air is no longer in the list of supported boards, I'm trying to build the image myself. Kernel compilation problem.

When will it be avalaible make your own armbian on ubuntu 18.04? I have just upgraded from 16.04. When will it be avalaible to build armbian for bionic 18.04 for Allwinner H3 H5 A64 CPU?

In the past (2019) there was no chance to use the A64-CPU Jide Remix Mini with armbian, because of a blocked -u-boot But today I found a site (from February 2025 on github) https://github.com/r4nd3l/revived_remix_mini_pc?tab=readme-ov-file which can make the Closed Jide Remix Mini to boot from SDCard with a modified u-boot There at the github page is a modified u-boot and a modified A64 armbian for the Jide Remix Mini. Jide did leave us with a closed/blocked device AT this time the 16GB emmc isnt useable, but using SDCard is a start for upcycling the Jide Remix Mini

I have a NAS which can support iSCSI, NFS, or NBD. I have several years of experience using iSCSI on x86, but I was wondering if anyone is using it on these ARM boards. I'm also looking at NBD, because it is supposedly lower overhead than iSCSI. Is anyone currently using NBD on their SBC? I've heard NBD doesn't handle connectivity issues as well as iSCSI, so it's not wise to use for data you care about. However, providers such as Scaleway are using NBD as the rootfs for their ARM servers (not saying this is good or bad, just saying it). I am thinking specifically of having the SBC be the client, not the server. However anyone who can pr…

Hello. After my provider (Unitymedia/Vodafone NRW/Germany) asked to run a complete new station search my installation stopped working for me:Stations were missing, EPG-infos not displayed anymore. So I decided to make a hole new installation. The DVB-USB stick was detected fine again (see picture), the configuration wizard is executed step by step, the scan process starts - but stays at 89%, even after 3 hours (see picture). If I stop ithe process, several stations are missing, the EPG-info is missing in wide parts of the stations and the EPG-search is not working at all.. Hardware: - BananapiPro (1GB, LAN 1GBit, SATA with 128GB SDD) - ASTROMETA …

I find this forum very interesting. There's a lot of useful information here.

All the information you can think of on an easy and simple webgui https://github.com/netdata/netdata Even has a really simple script to download all deps and compile the program for you https://github.com/netdata/netdata#quick-start Just thought you folks might be interested...if it's linux...this will work on it

I am using apt proxy on opi pc 20.11.1 buster. Te proxy was working fine but now it gives error for apt.armbian.com only, not for debian repos. Err:2 http://apt.armbian.com buster InRelease 500 INTERNAL SERVER ERROR [IP: 192.168.10.1 8080] Any hint? Edit: https works

Hi there. Is there someone who can guide me with linux driver porting? I have old LCD panel for my bananapi like described here: https://forum.banana-pi.org/t/lcd-module-dsi-rgb-with-touch-and-s070swv20hg-dc16-lcd-panel-mainline-kernel/11172 but i can not make it work with linux. Old bananian has this driver and it is working. I would like to try to port it to mainline but i don't know how to start. I'm skilled user of linux, for few past years i've been using gentoo so i know what is kernel and how to tweak or compile it. I know C on decent level so i think i could made it but i have no clue how to track working driver down and how to port it from 3.4 k…

Is it worth starting an Armbian wiki? It seems that for questions such as how do I write the raw file to an SD card, how do I disable LEDs on my whicheverPi, why doesn't my orange pi pc boot this work in progress image and so forth could be answered there. Hopefully it would reduce the Forum traffic for such things, but also when they do pop up a simple one line response with the wiki link is all that's required. I realise that there is the Armbian documentation, which is great, but only really covers how to use Armbian to build images. Equally there is gold mine of information in the forum, but it's sometimes buried a few pages deep or only comes to the surface…

Hi, Curious if there's something like Intel ME that I can use to control my PC and use as a coprocessor when booted, maybe if it had a Coral TPU or something. I remember hearing something about a RPi CM4 base board that has a PCIe connector that can plug into a 1x or 2x slot. (Don't remember exactly which one.) Thanks in advance. edit: Also. Use it for GPIO and serial ports.

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

Hi there! I built a new system that automates the control of GPIO pins and makes it easy to switch them. It is fully realtime and based on NodeJS & Socket.io. I hope you like it. Originally supported board types are OrangePi, NanoPi & RockPiS. The Raspberry Pi support is recently published, there may be some bugs. Here is a link to the GitHub repository: https://github.com/ArdaSeremet/SBC-RealTimeIO . Please feel free to tell me about any further improvements. For now, I am working on PWM output support! Take care, be well!

Hi Guys, Most of us have powerfull (compared to Pi's) unused phones on the shelfs just because we got a new one or for other reasons. I have (a not so old) samsung S7 edge with broken screen siting on my shelf that I would love to use as server for my home automation projects. There are many options to keep android and run some Linux Distributions in chroot but it is still somehow limited. Since most of phone use ARM architecture I was wondering if there is already anything or interest in creating Armbian port for unused phones. My S7 edge runs a samsung exynos arm SOC. Thanks, Diogo

This seems to be a interesting project for some of the SBCs which are supported ba armbian. Maybe its - in some parts - also a "inspiration" for armbian? Shedbuilt A rickety GNU/Linux Distribution for ARM Devices Long-story short You can build an entire operating system capable of communicating over the Internet, playing games, and robots, from scratch on a computer that costs less than a well-optioned burrito.

Hello, I created with Armbian config a Wlan hotspot. I want to make a kan bridge because it is isolated. What's on Ubuntu Bionic the best way? With the network managers or manual way. Looks like the network management has changed, in the last years and I am confused of all the available instructions. And when I am connected to the AP from win 10 notebook I can get a ssh connection to the host. I can connect to an other client at this ap and then I connect over this client to the host. I have no idea why. How could I solve this? Gr…
