Odroid N2/N2+

Armbian 20.08.13 Odroid n2 buster legacy 4.9.238 does not boot on emmc updated petitboot with pb-update, no effect! got back to Armbian_20.02.5_Odroidn2_buster_legacy_4.9.216, no problems there immediately freezed armbian updates with armbian-config, because my last kernel update did break my whole system.

The image listed here with xfce is broken: https://www.armbian.com/odroid-n2/ Example download link to broken image: https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/armbian-dl/odroidn2/archive/Armbian_22.05.1_Odroidn2_focal_current_5.10.110_xfce_desktop.img.xz

I would like to update/upgrade to the latest dist for the Armbian N2 without completely re-installing. Is this supported and possible?In order to update to the latest Armbian

Hi I had to upgrade my Odroid N2 from Armbian Buster to Armbian Bullseye to run newer versions of Nextcloudpi (24.x). So I did the upgrade by writing the Armbian 22.05 version to the eMMC and started Armbian. Works fine. Then I installed a fresh nextcloudpi (23.0.2) which is the same version I used on Armbian Buster. Works fine. I added the external disks (ncdata und ncbackup). After a restore of my nextcloudpi backup everything was well. But the next reboot did nothing, i.e. no output on the HDMI Interface, nothing. So, I did a power-off and looked at the eMMC via a Micro-SD adapter I have. Of course, no logs, nothing. …

On an Odroid N2 booting off emmc with latest Armbian (N2 version) and I seem to be experiencing systemd issues. That is, I am wondering about why dmesg outputs large amounts of lines like this: ...

Hi guys, My N2+ just arrived and I was able to install a Debian Bookworm (EDGE) image I built onto it (both to a SD card and an EMMC card) The selector switch is set to boot from MMC. Armbian fires up nice from the SD card but it does not boot from the EMMC. I can see the Drive with fdisk so I guess I need to copy the boot image onto it. (Its /dev/zram1) This is the first step towards building a PREEMPT_RT image so I was excited to see it sorta works! Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

I have an Odroid-N2+ and I would like very much to Armbian on it.

I tried 3 las disk images in SD card, update and OMV is not available fo install. In all tutorials show that OMV is available there. But when on my N2, it's not available.

This post is not a criticism but I suppose that noobs with experience with linux since 2006 like myself might get caught out by: * Desktops are very simple and minimal but containing standard features such as Chromium, Firefox browser, Office tools etc. This Ubuntu based "noble" distro DOES NOT have any browser installed as part of the image. Since I rarely use snaps, as they are controversial, I did not understand at first that "synaptic" will not install Firefox or Chromium. In fact you have to use the CLI terminal to manually install Firefox or Chromium with the "snap" program. May I suggest that the webpage description be amended to:…

I've just install Armbian_23.02.2_Odroidhc4_jammy_current_6.1.11.img to my new odroid hc4 but after copy sd to sata by using nand-sata-install the system stuck dureing boot on an "emergency mode error".

Hi, I'm trying to use an external RTC clock (https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/rtc-shield/, battery is good) connected over I2C to wakeup the Odroid HC4 from poweroff (or if not possible from disk-suspend). To my surprise the rtc was already recognised (and also the device tree seems good) and I'm able to communicate with it, read it and set alarms for it. However, whenever I poweroff the device and try to turn on again it does not power on by itself (neither from poweroff, nor from disk suspend). Output from /proc/driver/rtc: rtc_time : 19:16:28 rtc_date : 2023-03-29 alrm_time : 19:07:00 alrm_date : 2023-04-29 alarm_IRQ : no alrm_pending : no upd…

I am trying to build a compute cluster from Odroid N2. But seems like the core 5-6 does not speed-up the application at all. And the speed up is also not linear along the cores.

Hi, has anyone got the Odroid VU7-C display to work on a Odroid N2+ running headless Armbian Jammy? Running the hardkernel stock 22.04, which is still on linux kernel 4.9, it works fine. I've already tried to change a few boot params in /boot/boot.cmd, inspired by https://wiki.odroid.com/accessory/display/vu_series/vu7/vu7#tab__odroid-n2 like setenv display_autodetect "true" or setenv disable_vu7 "false" setenv hdmimode “800x480p60hz” setenv voutmode "dvi" Am I correct to run mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.scr as root after each change in boot.cmd?

Hello experts and members, Any possibility of multi booting armbian via petitboot from microsd card or usb or emmc in odroid n2 among other OSs.

Hello, I've tried to use the bug reporting tool but unfortunately it did not work (armbianmonitor -u did not work, and it was too big for http://paste.debian.net/), so I've posted here. I'm trying to use a PCTV 292e plugged into the USB2 port of my Odroid N2. I have the correct firmware for this device downloaded into the /lib/firmware/ folder however I have the errors: writing to i2c device at 0xc8 failed (error=-5) I think it is a USB issue as it does work in the USB3 ports, but I am unsure. Logs below. If there is any more info I need to supply please let me know. Thanks. armbianmonitor -U 1 2 ### Act…

Hi! You can find the armbianmonitor output attached to this thread. The issue is: when I use HDMI audio output with wine applications the entire system freezes very soon, usually after some seconds from the launch of the application. Some fraction of the latest played sound keeps looping very fast and both mouse and keyboard are unresponsive. All I can do is to unplug the power. This happens both on Odroid N2 and Odroid N2+. Everything works fine if I use some bluetooth headphones. And everything works fine if I use HDMI audio output with linux native applications. The problem is in the combination of Wine applications and HDMI audio output. Armbian Monitor Out…

TL;DR Where in armbian build system correctly can be make N2-only related changes: 1. /boot ext4 volume have to have symlink . as boot, can be created with command ln -s ./ boot 2. kernel env variable set in boot.ini contain part but it shouldn't. This substring need to be removed if btrfs choosen. 3. /boot ext4 partition have only 4 MB free. I am not sure but think it's too small; for example there no space to run update-initramfs -u. I think it should be larger, like 500 MB. Long: I want to run my oDroid-N2 with root on BTRFS filesystem. I use manual on armbian image build and did time ./compile.sh BOARD=odroidn2 BRANCH=cur…

Long story short: I used for about one year an odroid HC4 as NFS server and worked fine. Now I would add a player service for it. It mounts an HDMI port, so I tried to plug in the cable and it worked. I were able to see the video output but with no sound. I found there is no detected hdmi card: # aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: ODROIDHC4 [ODROID-HC4], device 0: fe.dai-link-0 (*) [] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: ODROIDHC4 [ODROID-HC4], device 1: fe.dai-link-1 (*) [] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: ODROIDHC4 [ODROID-HC4], device 2: fe.dai-link-2 (*) [] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: sub…

Hi everyone! For about a week now, I have been using armbian 22.11.1 on my new Odroid HC4, which is my Nextcloud server. As alway, armbian is rock solid 😉 I have just a little question: Can one modify the information presented in htop? I'd like to have "CPU temperature" and "TX today" (meaning sent bytes) showing. The welcome screen already shows "CPU temperature" and "RX today". I know that the CPU temperature can be read here /etc/armbianmonitor/datasources/soctemp and but I can't find it in the htop-configuration under "available meters".

I have been trying to diagnose a QHYCCD camera problem on a N2 running INDI server. Everything appears to work fine but after several minutes the device fails to respond. The device is only supported by QHY on a true USB3 slot. Looking on other forums USB and cable stability are a common problem with these QHY devices so falling onto the wrong USB bus would definitely be a problem. However looking at lsusb I can see the device has dropped onto the wrong USB bus: $ lsusb Bus 002 Device 002: ID 05e3:0620 Genesys Logic, Inc.

So, first of all, pretty much a newbie here. I'm trying to add protonvpn to my HC4. I was able to do it with Ubuntu Mate (from the HC4 webpage) on the same hardware, so I'm pretty sure it's possible on Armbian. To be fair, the ProtonVPN website says that raspbian is not supported (and I assume they meant to say ARM) but I have been able to get it to work on Mate, and the problem on Armbian seems to be the Public Key and nothing else. After installation, the app will start, but won't work, so some successful compiling for ARM seems to be happening. What I did: - Downloaded the deb file for Debian based stable release - Tried GDebi and Apt, but dpkg wo…

Hello, I'm pretty new to Armbian and also to Odroid devices. I'm trying to use Armbian as main operating system (instead of official Ubuntu image). If I burn SD with official Ubuntu image, it work well, if I try to burn almost any of Armbian images for Odroid N2/N2+, I can't get them to work. I've tried theese images: Armbian 22.08.1 Bullseye Armbian 22.05.4 Bullseye Armbian 21.08.1 Bullseye Armbian 22.05.4 Jammy Armbian 22.05.4 Jammy Armbian 21.05.2 Hirsute Edge As per Ubuntu, I've downloaded them, burnt with BalenaEtcher on SD, put the SD in switched-off odroid, attach hdmi, lan, keyboard an…

Hello, I’m in a pickle. I bought an Odroid HC4 a few months ago, setup a RAID-1 array and installed Nextcloud on it. At the time, I used `nand-sata-install` to move the system from the SD‑card to a partition of one of the HDD (/dev/sda1), out of RAID (/dev/md0), and leave the bootloader on the SD-card. I did not make a backup of this SD-card and, after rebooting today, I realised the SD-card was not functioning any more. No device I use (Sansa audio player with Rockbox, phone with Ubuntu Touch, Laptop with Ubuntu) would even detect it. I was thinking of using `nand-sata-install` again to only update the bootload…

Hello, I recently updated my N2 server from Bullseye to Bookworm. Reboot went fine. I then noticed I still had the old kernel from the linux-image-odroidn2 package (4.9.190-odroidn2), so I ran armbian-config, and told it to switch to linux-image-current-meson64. It installed packages for a bit, then rebooted on its own without asking. Since then, every boot is stuck with a U-boot logo at the top right of the screen. What I tried: Fixed a couple of issues in /boot (zImage was a symlinked to the old `vmlinuz-4.9.190-odroidn2` that no longer existed, I made it point to `vmlinuz-6.1.11-meson64` instead; `boot.ini` referred to `boot/dtb/a…
