Armbian build framework

mainline u-boot can read boot menu from extlinux.conf, and provides a menu to console or display (if support), which is more friendly to boot.scr and debian provides a tool: u-boot-menu to update extlinux.conf. in order to use u-boot-menu in armbian, need to update kernel build scripts, need to follow debian's build rules. or make change to u-boot-menu to fit armbian's kernel.

Should I just build it or we do some more fixes?

@Igor It seems u-boot compilation fails. Please note that this is the first time I build armbian. Am I missing something?

I'm trying to build a kernel driver for 5.7.14 for my custom image but couldn't find a linux-source package for the kernel version at https://mirrors.netix.net/armbian/apt/pool/main/l/ I tried to use armbian-config but it didn't show it, either (5.4.44 was listed instead). Where can I get 5.7.14 source code? I checked out Armbian Build v20.05( https://github.com/armbian/build/releases/tag/v20.05 )and created an image with the following options: BOARD=tinkerboard RELEASE=buster BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no INSTALL_HEADERS=yes BUILD_MINIMAL=yes The system information is as follows (on Tinker Board): root@tinker…

Hi there, while the customize-image.sh got some attention lately because of OMV integration, I've started a try to enhance the customization process. At the moment any changes to the script are valid for the whole buildenv. That might be good when building just one image but all over I think thats not a good situation, especially for automated building or with more then one customization. I startet to define a $CUSTOM Buildvar and redefined the script locations, starting with the following changes: - delete customize-image.sh an overlay dir - placed it under config/customizations with following layout *-chroot.sh, *-host.sh, …

I came across this blog post which had a fantastic breakdown of the workflow for building a kernel with the armbian build tools. Just wanted to share.

Dear maintainers, can you answer a simple question: which board should be selected in build menu for BananaPi M1+ ? I can see 2 options for A20 Soc : "bananapi" and "bananapipro" ? Which one is the preferred option ? Thanks

hey there, compilation noob here. I want to build my own image via vagrant and set it up already, because Armbian is the only OS* which provides an integrated option for an encrypted rootfs (preferrably on another drive than the sd-card, because of performance) without manually fiddling around. See: https://github.com/armbian/build/issues/947 My plan is to build it with the optional config, as written in post 2 of the link above: CRYPTROOT_ENABLE=yes CRYPTROOT_PASSPHRASE="MYSECRECTPASS" CRYPTROOT_SSH_UNLOCK=yes CRYPTROOT_SSH_PORT=2222 But I don't know where to put the optional build options and it's not clear to…

Hello guys is there a way to customize boot.cmd without changing any git-controlled files ? For example, I would like to setenv console to null. I found the file lib/config/bootenv/sunxi-default.txt but I have no idea how to override it in my userpaches folder. Thanks

Why do I want the source code? Well I am working with an Allwinner H5 board (Orange Pi PC 2), getting a RTOS to run on it, and want to study some of the device drives. I have found the Armbian sources for the H3 quite valuable in this way. So I spent the bulk of the afternoon and got nowhere. My desktop is a Fedora System. I don't want to install VirtualBox again (which is what I did several years ago in order to get the H3 sources). I tried the Docker thing, but Fedora 32 and Docker don't work together. Then I remembered that I have access to a system running Fedora 30, and the Docker setup worked fine there, but the process choked with this: …

Hi everyone, I use Orangepipc and want to make full encryption of the root file system, I applied the following topics, but each time it says "starting kernel ..." and freezes on the booting What is the problem?

Hello, while reading the build tools scripts I found this part of the license text to be fishy: # This file is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public # License version 2.

I am trying to build an updated image for an orange pi zero using the mainline buster headless. I tried on an ubuntu 20.04 VM (on a fedora host) and on a natively ubuntu20.04 installed laptop. Both fail to compile the kernel with the same error. Below is my compile config file and my compilation.log is attached. Any ideas what is going wrong here? I know I don't have the make terget in CLEAN_LEVEL, but I even tried when completely removing the whole armbian-build folder and cloning a fresh repos and removing all apt-cache-ng cache. So it's not due to that. # Read build script documentation https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Options/ # for detai…

Hello all, maybe I missed that part in the docs or in another thread... In fact, I haven't found a solution. I'd like to include a custom kernel repository in the build process (maybe in kernel-only mode) and select that in the interface if available. Either include a remote directory (github...) or some local directory. That all for easily trying things out without using the single-patches directory but using the armbian building environment. I couldn't find the lines in the build scripts, where I easily can "hardcode" such a kernel tree. Ultimate way would be an additional option for a custom kernel tree, chooseable via the menu. Can someone point me into …

I've come into a problem, my build system refuses to build images. I haven't been able to debug it, so I'm curious if anyone else in North America is having this trouble?

Hello, I've got a problem with DNS resolving and customize-image.sh. One setup works (home), one setup does not (office). Both setups are OS X (different major versions), Virtual Box (different major versions), Network Bridging and Ubuntu 14.04. Building images (Banana Pi M1/M2/R1 jessie next) without customize-image.sh works perfectly, espacially the apt-get stuff, which needs DNS resolving. The working home setup uses dynamic (DHCP) private RFC1918 IPs (and/or public IPv6 IPs). The nonworking office setup uses public static IPv4 IPs for OS X and Ubuntu. The build process works flawlessly until customize-image.sh is executed. Some excerpts of cust…

In recent weeks, I have been testing a new approach to using the source code for external WiFi modules (RTL). Previously, I regularly got build environment crash issues due to unpredictable source updates for EXTRAWIFI. These sources are scattered in different places and absolutely do not predictably change, breaking the kernel build. I'm tired of tracking such situations and regularly spending time creating emergency patches to restore the build process (or having to temporarily disable the EXTRAWIFI build). I compiled and placed all the sources in one controlled GIT. I still have them my GIT, but if your decide to switch to a new version of the build, it is advisable t…

I have problem with low space during building orange pi zero image ( even there free space about 50GB on both root and secondary drive ). I happens at the end of image creating when batch customize-image.sh started. Do you know where is variable responsible for 1.5GB big /armbian/output/cache/ ? Thanks.

There's been discussion in the past of switching to a YY.MM naming convention for releases (similar to Ubuntu) [citation needed -- I think it may be buried deep inside a github discussion] How does that impact us as a rolling release? What do we want to convey with our versions/releases? Should we do monthly releases? quarterly? I do think time-based releases would help us with priority.

I created a new image for my Odroid C2 with the most current version of Armbian 5.26. Configuration was pretty much standard, except BOOTSIZE=0 and ROOTFS_TYPE=ext4. The image works fine, if dumped to a sdcard.

Hi all, here's a newbie question: -How to change root-file-system? Eg. for ex. change settings in a file /etc/network/interfaces, when building the whole image. I tried to use the build/userpatches/overlay folder and add changed files there, but didn't work... I'm probably missing something. br. Mike

I've been studying and working on Dynamic Device-Tree Overlays since awhile, but after hard work, I've finally got a working prototype using the work from Pantelis Antoniou. During last few days, I was doing debugging to find out why it wasn't working, even if I got the ConfigFS working, it was refusing to grab my simple overlay test. I've finally figured out this afternoon : the Root/Base DTB need also to be compiled with the "symbols" list generated with the Antoniou's version of "dtc". So, I will probably prepare a patch soon and submit it thru a PR.

Hey, I'd like to build an image closer to mainline Debian (normal MOTD, wicd instead of network manager) with a few extra packages (nginx, mariadb, ...) and openbox for the DE targeted at an OrangePi Plus 2E, any suggestions or guidance on how to edit the build scripts to create something like this? Currently doing this all with Ansible after copying it to eMMC, but I figure it'd be a big time savings to prebuild an image with the right DE and software on a more powerful box.

I tried to compile a new kernel. It compiles finaly, but I miss the file: linux-dtb-dev-sun8i_********** Instead I see a file: linux-libc-dev_5.27_armhf.deb Anyone has an idea hat goes wrong and how I produce this file?

I'm new to building the toolchain so sorry if I missed something basic. I installed Virtualbox greater than the version noted on the instructions page. (https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/) Used the mini image at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/installer-amd64/current/legacy-images/netboot/mini.iso per above page. During the install I did not check any options for system software. Started the os and installed git using sudo per the instructions page in the second line above. After it completed I changed to the build directory and issued the compile sudo ./compile.sh and seems to run as expected. I…

I want to build kernel applied with rt-patch. Latest rt-patch version is for 4.9.13. So, How can I get the result? I think I should edit configuration.sh and then, put the patch file to userpatches/kernel directory? I need a kernel for nanopi-neo.

I have a test set of configuration files to build for armbian TV box platform Amlogic S905. Is anyone interested ? Should I create the pull merge GIT lib ?

1. What is the purpose when compilation errors are sent to a common output and then branched to a file? It turns out a million lines. It is reasonable to have only compiler error messages. 2. What is the purpose when the kernel-source package is built with include the folder /.git/? It is not traditional 3. Why folder with sources not cleared fully before compilation? git commands: git reset --hard HEAD; git clean -df guarantee a clean sheet before starting work

How to use this variable ? Tried to set different options, but when compiling the kernel aarch64, always use the system version 4.8. Set both variables in the config file, the variable UBOOT_TOOLCHAIN is triggered (begins to use the written version), and this variable does not change either as the compiler. This is my local problem not correct the system configuration or the same situation with the others ? For now I solve this problem rough hack - point in the variable PATCH user, the first desired directory with the compiler. Another associated question in the script general.sh in lines 471-474, with a list of packages for the host system specified compilers, including …

Hello At first, I would like to tell how I think your work you do on the arm boards is great. Looking actively for an alternative to the official Odroid Ubuntu image, I downloaded and installed the Armbian image on a SD card with dd and booted on the Odroid-C2 board. I made a first boot and a update/upgrade cycle on the SD card before to transfer the ext4 (root) partition with rsync (with the basic : -aAXv --exclude={"/dev/*","/proc/*","/sys/*","/tmp/*","/run/*","/mnt/*","/media/*","/lost+found", options) to an empty, new made ext4-partition on a 16 Gb-USB 3.0-drive.

Hello First issue: With the 5.4.18-sunxi64 kernel when you select in Armbian-config to install kernel headers it installs the wrong version, it install kernel headers for 5.3 something instead of the 5.4.18. The way that I was able to work is by compiling the 5.4.18-sunxi64 Linux version including the Kernel headers. I have attached it here. Second issue: When "make scripts" and make modules_prepare instead of link to the 5.4.18-sunxi64 it creates a link for modules in 5.4.18 which makes the modules useless, since it doesnt go to the correct /lib/modules library. instead that the modules will be installed in lib/modules/5.…

Hi, I'm looking for the simplest way to provide a custom uboot configuration to the Armbian build system. I have read (I think I did not miss something obvious) the documentation pages how to customize Armbian build, but the doc is mostly focused on specifying alternate source version or applying custom patches, while I only need a way to specify an already existing uboot config (generated with make menuconfig from the existing, installed Armbian sources). What would be the best way to tell Armbian to use an alternate uboot configuration? Thanks, Emmanuel.

Hey, I'm trying to lock kernel version to 4.11. The documentation is talking about the variable ARMBIAN_MAINLINE_KERNEL_VERSION, which does not do anything, as the script does not take it into account and still clone the last version of kernel (4.13) I cheat and copy KERNELBRANCH='branch:linux-4.11.y' instead in userpatches/lib.config which seems to do the job. What is wrong then ? Documentation or me ? Thanks Florian

(Please feel free to move the post if it is not appropriate here.) I'm trying the build environment on VirtualBox and modifying settings and adding new scripting.

I hope you can understand my question just from the title but here's more information in case you need it. BACKGROUND ON MY END GOAL IN CASE YOU HAVE ADVICE: I'm attempting to create a hardened linux image for running on my nanoPC-t4. I gotta give you guys props because Armbian appears to be wayyyyy ahead of the alternative distributions I checked out (gentoo/arch/lubuntu) in terms of support/customizability/documentation for ARM development. As a first step, I'm trying to build & boot a hardened Linux kernel. After some googling, I settled on this repo as my best option for free & open-source hardened kernel sources (unless anyone has a better suggestion)…

For now - armbian is best OS for Orange Pi Plus 2. I try connect touchscreen Waveshare 5" LCD Ver.2 trough GPIO but no success:( If it possible, please, add driver for ADS7843 Touchscreen in next patch. Sorry, cant do it himself:(

Hello everyone, I have been using a pre-built Armbian image on a Nanopi M1 Plus and I have been very happy with it. However I have several modifications specific to my usage of the board (setup some files in /etc/, create default users, install or remove some packages, etc.) that I would like to add to the image in a repeatable way. By repeatable I mean that I could add the set of scripts/patches/packages etc. to source control so that other people could them rebuild the same exact image.

Hi, I need to add a second SD card reader to my Orangepi zero. I tried with this link https://github.com/nopnop2002/STM32_TFT_8bit . But it doesn't work. I read that SPI is not enabled in Orangepi kernel and i checked with ls /dev/*spi* and the output was - ls: cannot access '/dev/*spi*': No such file or directory. So i edited the /boot/armbinaEnv.txt as adding "overlays=spi-spidev" and rebooted. then checked ls /dev/*spi* and out is - /dev/spidev0.0. But my code is not working..Can you tell me what is wrong here ? These are my pin configuration SD CARD OPI zero ------------------------------------------------------------ …

some simple thoughts to help (assuming limited time consumption) - adding a short "Roadmap" (main & side quests) section (in docs.armbian.com/Process_Contribute/ ?) displaying "main" goals for current & possible next iterations because currently the single tasks is the forum are useful but not "readable" - a (google group?) mailing list (read only) for contributors (to push roadmap changes & call for tasks) - a separate mailing list (read only) to call testers when needed - a page to report testing per board (wiki? google web document?)

Hi, while testing with various sun8i legacy builds with connected display it came to my attention that kernel always panics at shutdown (in fact I was all the time doing a reboot so it took me some time to notice this). I tried to replace our rmmod example here with this code for module in $(cut -f1 -d' ' </proc/modules) ; do rmmod -f ${module} ; done But to no avail. Still on shutdown or reboot the kernel panics, waits 10 seconds and reboots then. Behaviour might be related to recent kernel additions (FriendlyARM Matrix stuff)? And the other question is which drawbacks the above code could have?

Hello everybody, I'd like build the module for my usb dongle with rtl8821cu. Im using the 4.4.154 version on rk3328 tvboxes. I need the kernel sources. Is the a repo on github for this build? Thanks and excuse me for my English

Hello Armbian, Since long time ago, build system is stuck at mainline kernel version 5.10.21 (for OrangePi H2+ H3 and H5 boards). Am I doing something wrong or what? Best regards.

Armbian CI is building v5.10.43 while my local build is making v5.10.45. How can I switch? I've tried all sorts of iterations of KERNELRELEASE= BRANCH= and LIB_TAG= in userpatches/config-example.conf but can't find the right combination to build a v5.10.43 kernel with RELEASE=focal What's the correct build env var and value needed to match Armbian's CI?

Hello guys I need instructions on how to skip mandatory steps during first load when Armbian requires to login as root and use password 1234. What I need is to have pi account created automatically during sd-image build (with a custom password) and assigned a predefined set of groups. I want Armbian start and auto-login with pi account and run my linuxfb-based full-screen application. It seems like customize-image.sh is the right place to create a new account on target image. But how can I disable that startup poll to create a new user, change password, etc? Thanks

I have two build hosts, one was built week ago, one is Xenial, the other is Trusty. Since I added deboostrap to Trusty manually I also downgrade it to Trusty defaults but still ... Wheezy is somehow partially corrupted but it was O.K. few weeks ago. Any ideas what's going on ... before I start digging in?

Hi, I’m trying to integrate the newly released hostapd 2.7 into an image and I’m having trouble including it as a part of the image build process (bionic on vagrant - by the book). My tree is a few weeks out of date, but I can’t see any subsequent commits to the scripts that seem to be the source of my trouble.

First, I'd like to say thank you for creating this. I have a Pine64 board and have built and loaded an Ubuntu Armbian build on the board. I'm now looking to develop custom software which will include a custom audio driver and custom audio software. I anticipate this means one or more custom kernel modules and custom user space software. I've read through all the documentation and will begin experimenting, but thought I'd check to see if somebody has created a cookbook style recipe for the following: 1. Kernel development: incrementally modifying the kernel, building and deploying on the test board. I can see deployment through the created .deb files, but…

Using customize-image.sh work nice with debian but not executed when build Ubuntu. Log report [O.K.] Calling image customization script [customize-image.sh] but after that no output from my script and no change on image

I've got a working Vagrant Armbian Build environment. Now I want to add the following to the sun50i-h5-nanopi-neo2.dts (provides network support in U-boot) and compile a new image. &emac { pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&emac_rgmii_pins>; status = "okay"; phy = <&phy1>; phy-mode = "rgmii"; phy1: ethernet-phy@1 { reg = <0>; }; }; Despite reading the docs, I still can't figure out how it's done. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction?

Why armbian put debian.list to ubuntu package list (/etc/apt/sources.list/debian.list)? I am on ubuntu so I don't understand why should I have mix of debian and ubuntu packages

Hello, I use the amlogic S905W (TX3mini) When I would like to start my PPP connection my Kernel says missing Module: Couldn't open the /dev/ppp device: No such file or directory modprobe: FATAL: Module ppp_generic not found in directory /lib/modules/5.5.1-arm-64 pppd: You need to create the /dev/ppp device node by executing the following command as root: mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0 Please check kernel 5.5.1-arm-64 Many Thanks

Hi, I tested to build some deb package yesterday on my Nanopi M1 and it went surprisingly good and quite fast so I wondered ... I know that the documented way of building armbian is with a x64 computer (with Virtualbox / docker). As I already stated I don't have a big enough x64 computer at hand, would it be feasible to tweak the scripts to build one image (not all) using either my Nanopi M1 (but I guess 512Mo of RAM will be problematic) or a Banana Pi / Raspberry Pi 2 ? If not, building uboot / kernel only ? I started to read the scripts, there are many scripts and but I think I can understand many of them individually even if the global architecture is h…

Hi guys, Is it possible to include the hfsplus module (used for mounting Mac HFS+ filesystems) in the kernel please? I have to manually build kernels in order to get this feature which is time consuming.

I have several files I want to embed into the compiled image, such as logos, desktop backgrounds, some public keys, scripts etc. I can put them in correct place (e.g. /usr/local/bin) or put it in a directory at root (e.g. /MyAppSetup) and run a script to handle/move them. In the past I was using a private git repo on my server to clone these, but if I'm compiling, I'd like to get rid of this extra layer. I could not find a way to do that. Could someone please advise?

Playing with BUILD_MINIMAL I had to several times run compilation script for the same board / system / branch. To speed up verification I thought: what is a point to constantly build u-boot / kernel? So I added CLEAN_LEVEL option to not delete generated debs. I have noted that from one hand I can disable cleaning of (for example) kernel deb files, but from other hand if there is repository update no new deb is produced. And the idea.... or is this already implemented somewhere? Build of u-boot / kernel is initiated when no deb file exists. fetch_from_repo function knows if the repository is updated. What is fetch_f…

Hello there, I am trying to build a custom armbian image using instructions here http://www.armbian.com/using-armbian-tools/, because I need to enable additional module for Philips webcam, not included in stock one. I have built the compile environment, run the script, added my modules and compiled, generating the entire image. Once I flash and boot from it though, Uboot hangs while saying "booting the kernel" I have tried release 5.00 and 5.06, using Debian Wheezy and Jessie, with the same result. I have also tried flashing the stock image and then just replace kernel packages I had built, because I thought the problem could have to do with systemd. As l…

Hi hi @Igor I have written in my tree a markdown file in build rootdir (wondering about a /doc directory?) guiding how to build a kernel using RHEL / CentOS containers. URL: https://github.com/rfrht/build/blob/testdoc1/build-docker-rhel.md Wondering if would you be interested to merge it into your tree. Let me know! - RF.

Hi, I am adding support of my board to armbian framework and I have several questions: 1. I added my u-boot & kernel but when I build package for kernel, it creates linux-image-4.14.98-sabre_5.94_armhf.deb instead of linux-image-sabre_5.94_armhf.deb so I have to remove version from from file name in compilation.sh or image creation process would fail. Is it possible to define name of .deb package? I guess I just missed something in my kernel config file. 2. u-boot & linux-image packages are installed successful but I have to add default links to kernel & device tree files by hands or update u-boot scripts by hand. Is it p…

Today I noticed something strange about packages : armbian-config and armbian-firmware (bionic all) Repository version becomes 19.11.3 (via apt update) but self built packages created via kernel build script are version 5.98 Other kernel packages are ok, version 4.19.85 What about this?

I've just spun up a brand new vagrant installation using the instructions here https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Using-Vagrant/ When I ran compile.sh inside the VM it installed a load of packages as it should, then eventually failed due to dialog not being installed. A simple apt install dialog fixed everything, presumably the build system needs to be updated to install dialog as well?

Armbian firmware is a repo holding all firmwares used by Armbian releases. files/firmwares in this repo are directly copied to /lib/firmware in release images. I don't know which firmware is used by which device, but some of them are put in wrong place. eg: for Broadcom Bluetooth firmwares, firmwares should be in brcm/ folder, but some of them are not in this folder. is there any plan to add firmware build support in build script or simplely put firmwares in right place.

S500 devices (LeMaker Guitar and RoseApple Pi) are the only devices without initrd/UUID support, both are EOS and have only 3.10.y EOL kernel source. I propose creating a tag in the build script and deleting their configuration files along with the code that deals with non-UUID root cases to simplify our code base for upcoming LUKS rootfs encryption support. Any thoughts/objections?

Greetings. Can I make sure I've understood this correctly. I want to ensure kernel sources always come from a local development directory. In my /userpatches I've got a lib.config which has: KERNELDIR="/home/user/sources/linux-sun8i" with both KERNELSOURCE and KERNELBRANCH commented out. Is this the right thing to do? And just so I can get all my idiot points at once: Specifying KERNELSOURCE and/or KERNELBRANCH will anchor the source repo and branch to whatever I wish? TAIA Jerry. P.S. Armbian *awesome* for super quick experiments/deployments.

I'm attempting to build an image for the ROC-RK3328-CC (Renegade) with cryptroot encryption (and SSH unlock) enabled, but I run into weird behavior. The board will start and I can SSH in and reach the BusyBox prompt. So far so good but from what I've gathered I should enter the command "unlock" there to display the cryptroot password prompt. However it only results in the message -sh: unlock: not found. I read somewhere else the command might be "cryptroot-unlock" but that instead gives nothing, not even the error message. Furthermore, regardless whether I enter any commands, around 10 seconds into the SSH session it will freeze and I eventually ge…

Hi, my name is Tom and i am an embedded developer. I am aiming to dig into the CSI0 camera interface for the bananapi. Admittedly, i am new to the linux way of coding and compilation. Thus far for armbian, i realized,... ....compilation by script "compile.sh"...which checks all needed tools, code, updates...downloads everything...runs a config screen to select target, platform, ...and yeah..it works. When i run the script two times ...it keeps compiling again. hmm+ My experience is, that i do have the sourcecode, a compiler script/makefile....and it will just update the changes i did on the source. (old scool:-) so if i have the source in a direc…

This topic is a response to the growing number of kernels, growing number of boards with... "unique properties", and for the increased complexity of some platofrms (aarch64 and the atf, etc). I think the coherency of the chosen organizational method is starting to fall apart. So just a thought experiment on my part: Currently, we have a sources directory, and the sources file has not just sources, but also executable script functions in it. We also do our patches per SoC, mostly, but the organization is by the thing being compiled rather than by the target, making finding/adjusting a bit cumbersome in some cases. I would propose a di…

please, is it useful if I would test MBR/PARTUUID for XU4 (as Zador is thinking of)? (instead of the former LABEL testing I did for SD/eMMC for next) in case I am on the proper path as of http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/2454-fel-mass-storage-or-writing-images-directly-to-emmc/?p=18115
