Armbian build framework

Based on discussions the last days/weeks it seems obvious to me that we should document default Armbian security so that people know what they get and where to tweak if they have specific concerns. I took a few minutes to start with a list of issues that should IMO be addressed (no specific order): Explain where password strength policies originate Restore distro default sshd settings if concerned: sed -i 's/PermitRootLogin yes/PermitRootLogin without-password/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config Use and purpose of haveged: https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/issues/503 'Secure delete' on SD card, eMMC or SSD (overwriting contents on the FS layer requires a sync call if followed …

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 …

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?)

I have pushed some changes for XU4 with the help of so many internet sources (thanks!) - uboot 2016.05 - vanilla kernel (4.7.6 as of now) - single partition (using the LABEL=rootfs for booting) - SD & eMMC for eMMC, burn the image on both a SD card & eMMC first, boot with SD card to write files on mmcblk0boot0 partition, then cd /usr/lib/linux-u-boot-next-odroidxu4_5.21-GRO_armhf (probably remove -GRO) -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15616 oct. 1 01:58 bl1.bin.hardkernel -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14592 oct. 1 01:58 bl2.bin.hardkernel.1mb_uboot -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1807 oct. 1 01:58 sd_fusing.sh -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 262144 oct. 1 01:58 tzsw.bin.hard…

I'm trying to create a full OS image with configured kernel but the process fails: E: Failed getting release file http://localhost:3142/httpredir.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/Release How can I fix it?

Hello, I am not very experienced on the Armbian development and want to add a kernel driver to the legacy kernel using the compile.sh development tool, but did not grasp the best practice to add the kernel source reading some forum posts and docs. As a start lets add the sunxi-can driver for the Olimex CAN-A20 interface for legacy kernel for Olimex lime2 A20 board like described in the Wiki at Olimex: https://www.olimex.com/wiki/A20-CAN I did: a) http://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparationon an virtual box on my machine and can successfully build kernel packages and apply user-patches enable some patches like the copy /patch…

Hello, It seems like the 'FORCE_MODULE_UNLOAD' parameter was (set to?) 'N' during the generation of the Armbian kernels. I know it's potentially dangerous to use it, but since the community is doing a lot of experimenting it would be convenient sometimes if this is enabled. Does this mean I have to compile a kernel with this option enabled myself, or is it possible to turn it on in future builds?

Hello, I want to tackle the TODO item from main.sh:175: # TODO: move to armbian-tools or extras-buildpkgs Which way should I go ?

thinking of http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/2043-lamobo-r1-520-swconfig-problem-with-last-520-armbian-update/?p=15773 We may ask the forum users and create a list of testers for each board (or family of boards) => we could create a sub forum Armbian/Tech/Dev/Armbian build framework/Testing/ - to call for testers when needed (testers would register a pined thread managed by Igor/Mikhail/Thomas/others) - to report testing on the forum using a title like [5.20/Lamobo-R1] "Status" (OK/KO/minor issues) - create bug reports in appropriate forum each registered testers creates its minimum set of test (like testing the switch config of Lamobo-R1) and cr…

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. This program is licensed "as is" without any # warranty of any kind, whether express or implied. I think the intent was to say "whether expressed or implied". Can I get confirmation, so I can prepare a PR for changing all the (cut'n'pasted) occurrences ?

Hi, I'm trying to compile a kernel using the procedure described here: https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib I've set the KERNEL_ONLY="yes" in the compile.sh script, but I get the following error after a while I wonder what i've missed or if there's some other issues.

Is there a way to increase/change CMA (contiguous memory alocator) reserved memory in kernel configuration for H3 devices? The value stays at default of 16Mb, but after kernel/image creation magically increase to some higher value like 160Mb for OpiOne (512Mb RAM), or 256Mb for OpiPC (1Gb RAM). Even if i try to change the value in kernel configuration, like i used to in A20, with: KERNEL_CONFIGURE="yes" FORCE_CHECKOUT="no" in compile.sh , this have no effect for H3 and the above values of 160Mb/256Mb stays the same. So i guess it's defined somewhere else, patch maybe? Is there a way to change this? I want to see if increasing the CMA value will help to get rid of "out…

I am doing test builds and I notice some strange behaviour. First boot is very short and it resets, than we got this: (Orangepi PC+ / legacy / jessie CLI) What was changed / break here? Is this related to my build host?

Hello team, I noticed the following lines during script run: Free space: grep: | tee -a $DEST/debug/debootstrap.log: No such file or directory [ o.k. ] Ending debootstrap process and preparing cache [ jessie ] as you can see, free space is neither logged nor displayed. I found 2 occurrences in debootstrap-ng.sh, but I don't get what's wrong there...?

Hi, attached is a patch for U-Boot (should work on 2016.09-rc1 and 2016-09-rc2-dirty, will probably work on older ones as well) that makes it use the plain text file uEnv.txt instead of boot.scr, which has to be translated to a binary file first. This way changing the environment means only editing a text file, instead of editing a file, converting it to binary, and copying it over to the /boot partition on the SD. This becomes active if the U-Boot config has the option OLD_SUNXI_COMPAT disabled (in the menuconfig this is under ARM architecture -> Enable workarounds for booting old kernels). It also adds a small patch to board/sunxi/board.c to skip the setting …

Hello everyone, since i couldn't find a section for the NanoPi Neo/M1 (or maybe i just overlooked it), and the OrangePi One is rather close to it anyways, i'll post it here. Would there be interrest in a 3.4.112 kernel tree with the preempt_rt patches (rt143) added? I got myself said NanoPi's some days ago, and started to patch my way up from the original sunxi kernel 3.4.39 to the 3.4.112 version, then added the preempt_rt patches, and finally added (most?) patches from the Armbian build. Obviously manually adding the rejects. I'm also having a U-Boot 2016.09-rc1 that i have slightly patched to have it use uEnv.txt instead of boot.scr, because i got too annoyed t…

Mainline kernel 4.7 brought separate Device Tree configuration for Lime2-eMMC board. What should we do with this board? Don't provide separate images, write some basic instructions about changing Lime2 images to use eMMC Provide separate images with mainline kernel Provide separate images with mainline and legacy kernels I remember about default DRAM frequency issues, but we always can lower default value in u-boot configuration patches. Also I reworked Pine64 configuration and, now build process for legacy u-boot should be more reliable, and mainline (dev) target is also available for building. I think we should start providing preliminary images (Jessie CLI…

Just a thought. Over half of the boards we support feature a 26 or 40 RPi compatible GPIO header and all the other boards expose various protocols and GPIO on various pins and headers. Users coming from Raspbian and trying out any of our boards expect that basics work the same. While it's both impossible and not desirable to be 100% compatible with Raspbian a few things would make transition from Raspbian to Armbian for IoT folks more easy. Simple example: Default user pi in Raspbian has access to GPIO pins -- on Armbian it's currently root only. How's that done? A group called gpio exists in Raspbian, pi is added to it and /etc/udev/rules.d/99-com…

Today i wanted to try some changes an build a new kernel for my H3 PCPlus. When I executed compile.sh i got a Message that the script was outdated. So i copied a newer Version from lib to my root directory. I made thechanges i did before: Set KERNEL_Configure to "yes" and set DEST_LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" (that was the only way to get a clean translated german Desktop before..) Now I get a warning Message: [ warn ] Can't update since you made changes to: compile.sh When I hit Enter the next thing happens: The Toolchan is downloaded every time. Is this really necessary? I have only a volume based Internet connection... Regards

Hi devs, I would like to discuss our default settings for the small NanoPi H3 boards that lack HDMI output capabilities (so the use cases are pretty clear: we're talking about headless servers or IoT nodes). Based on some research done the last few weeks I would like to start with these settings: HDMI/Mali400 disabled (for obvious reasons, also this is responsible for some severe energy savings -- can't tell numbers but this is the most efficient measure together with drastically reducing DRAM clockspeed) maximum CPU clockspeed by default 1200 MHz in fex file but 912 MHz in cpufrequtils' settings so that the boards remain at 1.1V by default and also maximum consumpti…

Hello, I understand plainly zador.blood.stain for keeping the one-liner version of compile.sh I am dumb guy with low memory in brain and I prefer a config file per board (I am using one file for XU4, one for OPi+2E, one for Lamobo-R1, one generic file for playing) instead of a file with plenty of one liners for compile.sh But I have *just* used the plain original (updated) version of Armbian lib and I felt coming back to the Age of ICE (everything is root and sudo, no possible proper CTRL-C of compile.sh to restore all files with user id&group $HOME/.ccache is root, impossible to use RSA keys for forked version of lib (to push/pull) -- unless using the RSA…

Hello, I have seen a patch for emmc/nand with UUID, it looks interesting. Is anything planned sooner or later to use UUID in /etc/fstab in image building process, please? Or is it something to dig in? (I am looking for a solution for Odroid XU4 next to bypass the ANTIC uboot 2012.07) Thanks!

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 ?

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.

I've been working on the rtl8189fs patches for Mainline. Althouth the source code change between Legacy and Mainline is pretty trivial, preparing good and nice patches becomes a tedious task : - First, the original patch in Legacy contains tons of DOS file formatted (strange for a Linux driver, shame on Realtek) and even dos2unix failed on some files because of binaries character (probably Chinese), I had to edit many files because I wouldn't "signed-off" such ugly thing. (btw, maybe that dos2unix job should be done one Legacy to make it cleaner) - It is a quick big patch, but about the same size as the one in Legacy, about 10MB of text file. - Even after …

hello, I would suggest a quick fix of "compile.sh" to do the "git pull" of "lib" before sudo why? because .git/FETCH_HEAD file turns owned by root.root & zador.blood.stain has tried to limit being "root" all the time in the VM

I am trying to configure "next" with linux-vanilla (4.6.2) and built an Armbian image then booted from SDcard (removing my eMMC) So far, Samsung OSG provided examples of vanilla kernel @jobenvil tested 4.6 kernel but compiled on board WITH partition using UUID instead of /dev/mmc I got 4 cores in the "basic" model (4 little => 4 BIG), network, HDD issue: mixing uboot 2012.07 and vanilla kernel it seems /dev/mmcblk0 doesn't exist for uboot 2012 only boot.ini works with root=/dev/mmcblk1p2 to quick fix the problem I put /dev/mmcblk1p2 for root partition in boot.ini * I know how to manipulate UUID and partition => is it possible to put spec…

Hello. I have some problem, building image from source. I try to build legacy kernel, full image, CLI, for Orange Pi PC and Orange Pi One (the two i have), but it always stops at "LD kernel/built-in.o", with the following error: [ error ] ERROR in function compile_kernel [ common.sh:177 ] on both platforms. I try Ubuntu Xenial and Debian Jessie, same error at the same place, so i don't think it's OS related. I delete the source and git clone again, but this not helped. I also try to build the same image (5.14_Ubuntu_xenial_3.4.112, CLI) for my A20 Lamobo R1 and it builds with no errors. So there must be something with H3 only. As far as i see, line 176 and 177 of…

How can I debug kernel source code in armbian build system very simply? Each build will need to download source code from the git hub , if add a line of source code，also need patch again, but the process need very super time, what is the simple method?

Short changelog: Removed autodetection for H3 boards, changed DVFS and thermal settings Repackaged tools, hostapd and firmware (may require manual installation of packages) Odroid C2: Fixed headers packaging script, updated kernel configuration, updated boot script Added back watchdog to sun7i-default kernel Purging and reinstalling "unattended-upgrades" package should be recommended in changelog Script "40-updates" update logic was changed; script was switched to python3 since Xenial doesn't use python2 by default. Installing "python3-apt" should be recommended in changelog. Reworked initrd images handling on kernel upgrade ... (to be added) Other fixes and enhancements…

Is there any simple way that we automatically produce a patch of changes made to the (kernel / uboot) source? Of course also if files are added.

As many of you know, lots of git repositories are automatically built every time there's a pull request, letting the project community know if that commit will introduce a flaw of some kind. If it's a help to Armbian, I'd like to configure a cloud-based build system that should be able to cut the "build all" time down to about 10% of what it is, and possibly to a number lower than that. Here's what I'd do. I'll use Google cloud's preemptible servers to spawn say 30 machines with the trigger being a pull request. If any of these macines dies during the build, it'll come back red. and otherwise, it will come back green and upload all of the binaries to google clou…

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…

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?

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

Ideally I'd like to get a structure in place that rebuilds armbian with each commit to igorpecovnik/lib. I'd love people's ideas on the best way to go about this. I am pretty good with jenkins and all his pals, so if you have a favorite, please do let me know. Dockerfile Any feedback? It should work even on systems that don't have the needed native ubuntu 14.04 Vagrantfile Just used it to make a build myself, seems to be working fine, though there's some troubleshooting to be done with the build. Unsure what the source of the issue is, and had build mainline for opi, so instead I will now build opi-oldkernel.

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 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…

Does anyone else have to run testdisk regularly after writing Armbian images to SD cards?

I have a really slow internet connection and I'm doing alot of re-building Armbian and target systems etc. I have a copy of apt-cacher running on a local machine, I know how to configure it on target machines but I'm not sure how I would point the Armbian build system at it? At a guess I'm thinking that I probably need to modify debootstrap to create /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90-apt-proxy.conf but wondered if anyone had any better ideas?

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…

Hi, When I start armbian script, there is no Banana Pi M1 model anymore. Was Banana Pi M1 merged with Banana Pi Pro model? I could not find any note or info about this change anywhere. Thank you!

Hi, since a Geekbox (Rockchip RK3368) and two Pine64+ (Allwinner A64) are collecting dust and at least for the latter longsleep already prepared a nice image build process that makes including a 'foreign' rootfs quite easy I thought about supporting arm64 also and not just only armhf. But I still lack oversights over our own build process or don't know in which direction other devs will move (I saw zador rearranging stuff the last days) so I thought I better ask first instead of hacking around I thought about adding a global variable defaulting to "armhf" and setting it to "arm64" for the new boards in configuration.sh since we later have to call make ARCH=…

FYI, I need a DKMS module to be reloaded after I upgrade the Armbian kernel files with "dpkg -i *.deb" so the following snippet: - remove /tmp/.reboot_required - compile any header files for scripts - add my favorite frandom-dkms module gr@bpi:/armbian_kernel$ cat mod_noreboot.sh #!/bin/bash #sudo rm /tmp/.reboot_required #pushd . #for f in $(ls -d /usr/src/linux-headers-*-sunxi) #do # cd $f # sudo make scripts #done #popd sudo dpkg -i frandom-dkms_1.1-0centrych4_armhf.deb

Hi, I want a clean Armbian image for BPi without systemd. I pulled the actual Armbian 5.02, elected jessie and vanilla/next kernel (4.4.2) and checked SYSTEMD settings: gerd@development ~/projekte/armbian/lib (git)-[master] % find ./ -type f -exec grep -H SYSTEMD {} \; ./configuration.sh: SYSTEMD="no" # Enable or disable systemd on Jessie in debootstrap process but systemd is still active in the created image. Is there a way to get rid off it ? I saw in the blog that systemd is now default for jessie Regards Gerd

Would it be possible to add an option build parameter, something along the lines of BUILD_MINIMAL_DISTRO to the compile system? Allowing it as a command line option to compile.sh would be great as well. The purpose of the new option would be to use an alternative PAKETKI variable with only the packages absolutely required for running the system and configuring networking (ideally Ethernet and WiFI) without the bloat of bluez, stress etc. It would also be great if there was a call after install_external_applications to a user provided script that allows the user to install any additional packages that they require. There may be reasons not to do this and / or …

Hello. Maybe this is discussed already, but i can't find anything with the search. I have some modifications in kernel and other things and i have my own build image of Debian Jessie and deb-s with this modifications. Version 4.84 of legacy 3.4.110 kernel. The most important for me is contiguous memory allocator - CMA, which solved my problem mentioned here - http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/559-lamobo-r1-hardware-accelerated-driver/ , other things i can do under working system later, but i add them in image for ease. The problem is, after latest upgrade every modification is gone, of course. I made a new deb-s, version 5.0 with CMA enabled and apply them, but wh…

Hi there, i try to compile a kernel via: apt-get -y install git git clone https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib--depth 1 cp lib/compile.sh . chmod +x compile.sh ./compile.sh In compile.sh, i changed: KERNEL_ONLY="yes" and added KERNELTAG="v4.3.5" I get an error which can be seen in the attached file. I was able to compile 4.3.4 on the same machine, so i do not expect enironment issues. Any hint? Thx, A.

Dear contributors, the Armbian build framework sub-forum is dedicated to collaborate on the tool founded by Igor. The framework itself is opensource/GPL. Please add in the title, if possible: [WiP] = Work in Progress [RFC] = Request for Comment [TEST], [TEST/CPU/Board] = Feed back on tests [Device specific] [Board specific] etc. The framework doc is here [WIP] The tool aims at building {legacy, vanilla} linux kernels as well as (user-)patching/creating complete working images with {trusty,wheezy,jessie} to write on your flash {sdcard/NAND} Long story short... feel free to: Report bugs related to build script itself or patches supplied with it; Suggest new f…

Hi, I thought about the situation with the yet announced Orange Pi One (H3 based, $10, Fast Ethernet) that should start shipping on Jan 25th. The PCB is smaller, it features less USB ports than the Orange Pi PC and has a different voltage regulator switching between 1.1V and 1.3V (adjusted through GPIO): http://www.orangepi.org/orangepibbsen/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=895&page=4#lastpost Igor already prepared a test image for Orange Pi Plus based on kernel 4.4.0-rc5 last year (which I used to setup a NAS with an Orange Pi PC in the meantime ) and I would believe mainline kernel support for these H3 devices will improve pretty fast in 2016. It seems …

AXP202/209 sysfs interface patch for axp20x MFD drvier in mainline kernel I'll try to maintain this patch as long as axp20x power driver is not present in mainline kernel.

Hi folks, I started to think about that a while ago and want to share my thoughts with you. In my opinion RPi-Monitor is a great tool to get a clue what's going on on a SBC (especially when testing stuff but also in 24/7 use). It's also lightweight enough to run all the time in the background collecting data and to be used by a few clients also (rendering/display happens in the user's browser and not on the SBC). Currently users have to install RPi-Monitor manually and sometimes seem to be confused (for example they switch between legacy and vanilla/mainline kernel and temperature/consumption graphs disappear). If we would integrate RPi-Monitor into Armbia…

Yes, sure. Go ahead ... BTW: can you try to compile U-boot for Armada ... it's failing for me on two different machines and it's suppose to work.

Hey Guys, following this very closely for a couple of days now, and I want to starting putting my two cents in the bucket. I work with the (Olimex) A13-SOM and got some working images. All quiet hacky so I would love to add the configuration to the installer script to get some clean build images. Where to start? What info do I need? I want to do both legacy kernel(I use LCD output) and vanilla kernel. Booli

it is WIP odroid xu3 & xu4 have 4 Cortex-A7 cores max=1400MHz 4 Cortex-A15 cores max=2000MHz in HMP mode (patched kernel 3.10), 4 cores can run @1.4GHz and 4 cores @2GHz Cf. Heterogeneous Multi-Processing (HMP) solution The ODROID-XU4, equipped with four big cores (ARM® Cortex® -A15™ up to 2.0GHz) and four small cores (ARM® Cortex® -A7™ up to 1.4 GHz), provides improved processing capabilities while maintaining the most efficient power consumption available. With the big.LITTLE™ HMP solution, the Exynos-5422 can utilize a maximum of all eight cores to manage computationally intensive tasks.

Rebuilding kernel several times in a row, made some changes, that would be nice to have in build script by default, and also some thoughts on custom kernel patches. 1.Option to not overwrite kernel config before compilation. Example: setting KERNEL_KEEP_CONFIG="yes" in build.sh Changes (common.sh): # use proven config if [ "$KERNEL_KEEP_CONFIG" != "yes" ]; then cp $SRC/lib/config/$LINUXCONFIG.config $SOURCES/$LINUXSOURCE/.config; fi 2. Option to use ccache for kernel compilation (at least). ccache can be set by creating symlinks for cross-compiling tools, but having an option in build script is more useful and easier IMHO. Example: setting USE_CCACHE="yes" in bu…
