Rockchip

Kia ora. I am aware that the external USB ports on the Helios are able to deliver up to 900mA per port. I am wondering whether it is possible to find a power source inside the Helios64 that would be able to deliver, say, 2.5A at 5v? Maybe somewhere quite soon after the 12v power in...? 🤔 Jon

I accidentally ripped off a capacitor from the back of the Helios64. This missing capacitor is right below the SATA connector. I searched for the schematic of the board without any success. Does anyone happen to know the value and size of this capacitor?

When using the "boot from SD install to NVMe" option of armbian-config it offered the option to format the NVMe drive with btrfs. When I selected that option, it briefly flashed an error about the partition being too small (even though I had created a 120GB partition). The actual problem appears to have been that btrfs-progs was not installed. After installing that package and rerunning armbian-config it was possible to btrfs format and install successfully. I suggest the error message could be improved. Armbian_22.11.1_Rockpi-4cplus_jammy_current_5.15.80_minimal.img.xz

Hello, I'm currently having trouble getting Kodi to run smoothly on my RADXA RockPi 5B. Despite having set up Kodi multiple times before, I'm facing some challenges this time around. Here's what I've done so far: Installed the Armbian_community_24.5.0-trunk.168_Rock-5b_jammy_vendor_6.1.43_gnome_desktop.img.xz image onto a micro SD card for my RockPi 5B. Followed the instructions provided on the Armbian website for the RockPi 5B (https://www.armbian.com/rock-5b/). While Armbian boots up fine and I can start Kodi, I encounter a few issues: - The screen resolution is initially incorrect when Kodi starts up. To fix this, I have to navi…

I can't access the download links on the Armbian website; they appear blank and no downloads are available. Please help.

Hello. I bought a Rock64 and I have a lot of errors. Im using a eMMC 32GB Storage with Armbian 5.65 stretch 4.4.162 Desktop, Ethernet connection with TP-Link switch, a Wireless Keyboard with touch pad and the original 5V 3A Power Supply. HDMI is connect to a HDMI Splitter/Switch. The Rock64 is placed in the Aluminum casing. Full-Log: http://ix.io/1rce The system is reboot very often before i see the Desktop. Sometimes only after several resets. Can someone help me?

After the official release of Armbian 20.11 today I would like to collect feedback if and how the firmware runs on the Helios64. Is it possible to upgrade already or should we Helios64 owners wait? apt-get lists these already... armbian-config/buster,buster 20.11 all [upgradable from: 20.08.22] armbian-firmware/buster,buster 20.11 all [upgradable from: 20.08.22] libgssapi-krb5-2/stable,stable 1.17-3+deb10u1 arm64 [upgradable from: 1.17-3] libk5crypto3/stable,stable 1.17-3+deb10u1 arm64 [upgradable from: 1.17-3] libkrb5-3/stable,stable 1.17-3+deb10u1 arm64 [upgradable from: 1.17-3] libkrb5support0/stable,stable 1.17-3+deb10u1 arm64 [upgradable f…

I have an FriendlyElec M4v2 board without eMMC card. (so i only use SD card) I tried this image: Armbian_21.02.1_Nanopim4v2_focal_current_5.10.12_desktop.img I Wrote to SD with Balena Etcher. After the new installation I turning on my board, I see my two attached .jpg file contents on the screen and after my screen flashes and immediately turns off my monitor (with no signal text on the screen) and if then I can only see Armbian again if I turn my monitor off and after on. So the Armbian is booting in the background, just need an HDMI channel refresh with a monitor physical off and after on. Then I installed all updates ('apt up…

The initial installation went fine from the flashed image on SD card, and still works fine. However, after using armbian-config to attempt to transfer the OS and bootloader to the eMMC card, nothing actually changes. It says it formats the card and then goes through the process of transferring the files, or at least it looks like it does. But when I reboot it it's still running on the SD card and no files appear to have been transferred to the eMMC. fstab lists the UUID of the SD card and not the eMMC at all; this is also true of the bootenv section of armbian-config. One thing I did notice is that there are some new directories under /mnt : '/mnt/nand-sata-in…

I have a rock5b running Armbian_23.02.2_Rock-5b_jammy_legacy_5.10.110_gnome_desktop.img Recently, somehow the kernel become corrupt in some manner.

I am a newbie to linux. I installed orange pi os with arch linux from the official site, using rkdevtool and pressing maskrom button. I installed xfce and uninstalled gnome. The OS is stored in the emmc of the pi, and everything boots fine unless i insert the sd card in the designated sd card slot. At first, i had OS arch in that sd card, and when i first plugged it in the pi, the sd card OS booted. I figured that the pi gave priority to the boot section of the sd card, and since i dont need 2 OS on my pi, i decided not to investigate further, and just avoid the problem by wiping the sd card clean. I deleted all the partitions through the Windows Disk Partition app, forma…

Hello everyone: I own an Orange Pi 5B 16GB. Today I updated from Armbian 24.2.1 to 24.5.1 stable. This new release includes the 6.1 kernel. When I issue the apt upgrade command I correctly get updated to 24.5.1 version but I am still in kernel 5.10. So, in order to be at kernel 6.1, I use armbian-config. The problem is, after doing this and rebooting, the board no longer boots, I dont' get SSH, anything... Another thing that I updated besides armbian itself where sobre libraries like libv4l or libmpp from @amazingfate, before updating those 6.1 kernel switching worked. Any help in how can I debug (like reading UART port) or solv…

Hello: I am tyring to build the latest version of moonlight-qt (6.0.0). Up until now, I succeded by removing the disable-libdrm and disable-wayland to enable hardware acceleration and use H264, H265 and AV1 all of them through hardware acceleration. However, I get huge decoding times and they are even variable, ranging from 40ms to 300ms depending on what is going on in the streaming. The 4.3.1 version provided by @amazingfate works very good at 4ms decoding time but I would like to test the new AV1 encoder and features from the latest version. What steps should I follow to get it working correctly? Thank you in advance

About a year ago, I installed the OpenMediaVault image for CM3588-NAS from here: https://www.armbian.com/nanopc-cm3588-nas/ The image is debian-bookworm, which has since become oldstable, while trixie is the new stable. Is it possible to upgrade the distribution and move to trixie packages, even though there are no trixie images for CM3588-NAS?

After checking OpenMediaVault Web UI and checking around, the file system status shows as "missing" and there is nothing under RAID Management and all the disks show properly under Storage > Disks. The NAS is set up as a Raid 6 on ext4 with five 12 TB drives. For starters, I wonder why the internal battery did not graciously shut down Helios64 as to avoid this from happening given that power outages are a rather common issue. Then, how do I get my file system back? After browsing some for…

Greetings, I can't seem to find any documentation on how to access the only PWM port on the Nano M4 which happens to reside on the 2nd set of pins. It's listed as GPIO2 and the PWM pin is pin 23 which they label as GPIO_C6/PWM1(3V). SInce any documentation I find on GPIO has to do with the 40 pin port, how can I program the PWM using wiringPI-Python? I wonder why Nano chose to disregard the other PWM pins that other Raspberry Pi type boards retained like the Asus Tinkerboard. Or am I missing something? If so, can someone enlighten me as to how to access PWM on the Nano M4. Preferably using Python 3.

I'm setting up a NanoPC T4 as a network server running OpenMediaVault. I wasn't sure where to post this and I thought I'd start here. I'm replacing an existing BananaPi and I have it and the T4 up at the same time. I've used the BananaPi to stream video files to Raspberry Pi clients running Kodi. The BananaPi has been working well with an older version of Linux and OpenMediaVault. What's happening is video served from the T4 starts playing well but then stops shortly after playback has started. The same video file works well on the BananaPi. I've tried placing the file on an NVMe M.2 drive as well as USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 connected hard disks. I've tried …

Dear maintainers, thank you very much for your fantastic job! I di know how difficult to support different Chinese dev. motherboards. But I would like to ask you for a help: I use TinkerBoard S Rel.2.0 with latest armbian available for the board. It works perfect with HDMI 7inch screen from BigTreeTech company (BTT). However, I would like to use it with BTT 4.3inch DSI Display, which is developed for Raspberry Pi. BTT provided a 43DPI driver guidance for Raspbian which is here: bigtreetech/TFT43-DIP: DPI Driver, but it might work for kernel > 4.5 or 5.x. Moreover, in your distro there is no config.txt but there is the armbianEnv.txt. So, it is obvious,…

Hey there, for quite a while I was using my Station P1 aka T-Firefly ROC-RK3399-PC-PLUS (with a nice case welded around) as crude NAS and wanted to do something new. However for unknown reason I cannot boot from microSD. I am used to that the Armbian boot loader should switch to microSD when detected so other OS can be used. Does not work though. It always starts booting from SPI which is fine in theory and then jumps to eMMC which boots fine. With SD inside it does the same. If I remove the eMMC module u-boot stucks to PXE which obviously fails and then drops to U-Boot shell. I played with that shell for a while including recovery…

Hi, does anyone know how to get this working please? Thanks.

I know that not all features of legacy vendor kernels can be supported in mainline kernels. However, has anyone considered and/or attempted to get the OTG capability working in a current/mainline kernel? I have a couple different projects where I need to have OTG working so I can have the RockPi 4 be a USB device (e.g. mass storage, ethernet, etc.). For the time being this means I can only use the legacy kernels, but I am hoping that might change in the future. There are a number of different RK3399 boards with DWC3 controllers that could benefit from such a feature being available, right? Since I don't understand the kernel/driver/platform glue…

After 2+ years of hard work the fan of my M4V2 (in metal case with NVMe adapter) has stopped with specific burning smell.

Fan has been controlled by bash script from here: Has anybody got the same story? How it has resolved?

Hi all, is it possible to boot from an NVME without a sdcard ?

I've a set of Orange Pi 5 Max boards, all of them mounting fast NVME units. My plan was to use micro SD card to host the OS, but delegate all intensive writing (log, tmp) to a special partition on the NVME unit which will be used for OS and Application data (both for performance, and to extend the lifetime of the SD card). That way I can flash the OS disk as needed without worrying about flashing the data disk with it. I've seen that Armbian uses zram by default, but I'd like to keep the entire RAM available for the applications that will be running in the boards (NVME should be fast enough to not notice a massive impact vs using the RAM). As I have seen disab…

Good evening, I have a Rock64/4G board and just downloaded and installed the Armbian_5.42_Rock64_Debian_stretch_default_4.4.124_desktop.7z to the SD card.

Hello all. I've made a video about the Rock64. I've tried different distro's, but Armbian was the best for me. The only problems I've found was that Synaptic Package Manager didn't work. It crashes when I press the search button. And sometimes surfing was extremely slow. Otherwise it did fix all the problems I've had with the other distro's I've tried. Thank you for all the great work. Now I've started my research with the Orange Pi +2, and again Armbian is the best choice. Greetings, NicoD Here is my video.

Hi, community! I wish you have a nice day! Started investigating why do I have problems trying to hear something from headphones. So, I believe there is something about HDMI audio codec related to panfrost, attached you will find info about. I guess this will be useful to catch bugs. I'm 73 years old, started on computers on NCR Century 100 as field engineer. From those years to now, a long development has brought to life.... Cheers, and many thanks to you! dmesg112222.txt armbianmonitor112122.txt

I didn't know where to put this, but there is no forum for Orange Pi 5 Pro?

I have been trying to run the bookworm minimal image for the Radxa Rock 2F with poor results. Wifi stops working after an "armbian-upgrade" and after apt upgrade. Doing an nmcli -p r results in WIFI-HW missing response. It seems to me that after the upgrade, something is wrong with the aic8800 driver module. Unfortunately I am too ignorant to be of much help, but any suggestions would be most welcome. Thank you.

Has anyone managed to get Armbian on Orange Pi 5(b) output audio through the 3.5mm jack? The device seems to be recognised, but even after fiddling with everything imaginable through alsamixer, with speaker-test running in the background, I am unable to actually get any sound out. HDMI audio works without any problems. ChatGPT thinks it has something to do with GPIO routings not being properly set up. I'm running Armbian 25.2.3 noble (through `apt-get dist-upgrade`; I had to first install an older version from the archives to avoid bricking when installing on the eMMC). $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** c…

Thank you Armbian guys for providing and supporting a working 5.10 image for the Rock Pi 4C board. Has anyone been successful in configuring and using a matched CSI camera with a 5.x kernel for this board? If so, can you share the required conf steps here? Radxa's website (https://wiki.radxa.com/Rockpi4/MIPI_Camera) claims that their provided Debian image supports both RPi ov5647 and RPi imx219 based cameras so that confirms hardware compatibility but so far I haven't been able to capture images/video with neither on Armbian when attached to a Rock Pi 4C. $ ls -l /dev/video* crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 0 Apr 3 07:30 /dev/video0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, …

I noticed today that there are no 23.02 images for the rockpi-4c. The images exist for the 4a, 4b and 4cplus variants but not the 4c. The 22.11 images are the latest for the 4c. The reason I noticed is that on the downloads page for the rockpi4 it is still showing 22.11 as the current images because that page is showing the 4c info, with links provided to the other variants. The fact that it still showed 22.11 caught my eye.

Using Image "Armbian_community_25.5.0-trunk.185_Orangepi5-max_bookworm_current_6.12.17_minimal.img.xz" on orange pi 5 max, the fan connected to the designated 1.25mm pwm fan connector won't do anything at all regardless of the cpu load. Just to verify the connector was fine I tested the same on the same board with the same fan, using orange pi's image "Orangepi5max_1.0.0_ubuntu_jammy_server_linux5.10.160" and the fan worked fine under cpu stress.

Good morning: I've got a ROCK64 and it does't boot from few days. White; Red and Green led stand with light. nothing change even after minutes. I've tried rock64-debian-mrfixit-190531.img.xz, , freedombox-bookworm_all-arm64.img.xz, debian-12.11.0-arm64-netinst.iso, But never go further. Do you have an idea ? I've got a 5A power so should not be a problem.

We have been stuck on version 6.1 for almost half a year ever since the initial attempt to migrate to 6.12 caused some issues with HDMI if I remember correctly. Anyone knows if 6.12 or 6.14 are still in the works for this SBC? Thank you!

Hi, after doing an "apt upgrade" on my Luckfox Lyra Zero W running "Armbian 26.11.0 Minimal (Trixie)" on kernel 6.1.115-vendor-rockchip, I got an error mid-upgrade: The aic8800-usb driver did not recompile for the new kernel version: Setting up linux-image-vendor-rockchip (26.11.0-trunk.37) ...

Hi, in Germany electrical Power ist getting more and more expensive (reaching 30ct per kWh). So I am trying to work out a Desktop Usercase Scenario (Mail, Office, Browsing, Video Streaming, Audio Streaming) on a SBC System. My experience is growing in Using a Manjaro XFCE on the Pi 4B (4GB), Booting from SSD. It works very well, nearly like the former used Deskmini A300 with Athlon 200GE. And I also tried out the Jetson Nano, Ubuntu 18.04. On both Systems you can get a satifsfying Desktop Experience, but the Jetson with ist Cortex A57 Core Base is a bit slower, also while it is used from an micro SD SanDisk A1 Card. For a long time I ve been watching t…

RockPi 4 Model C support will come in the near future?

Hi, I'm using a RockPi 4 B as a wifi access point. Everything is working fine with good performances until the Wifi stop working, usually after 3-4 days. When that happens, dmesg is flooded with these logs : [221057.075187] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_proto_bcdc_query_dcmd: brcmf_proto_bcdc_msg failed w/status -110 [221057.075202] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_cfg80211_get_station: GET STA INFO failed, -110 [221124.657840] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_proto_bcdc_query_dcmd: brcmf_proto_bcdc_msg failed w/status -110 [221127.217786] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_proto_bcdc_query_dcmd: brcmf_proto_bcdc_msg failed w/status -110 [221127.217806] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_cfg80211_get_stat…

Hi, I'm struggling to get some sound through a PCM5102a module connected to GPIOs. I guess I've to make a dts-overlay to enable it on i2s0 but I didn't succeed, I'm very new to that. Could anyone tell me how to achieve that ? Many thanks for your work !

I have a M4V2, and want to build a mini NAS with OpenMediaVault 5 under Armbian (OMV5 can only run under Armbiam/Debian, but not in Ubuntu) The M4V2 has a SATA hat, and it can support up to 4 hard drives (2.5 inches size), so the SATA hat is powered separately, and I guess this is why this hat always gets overheat. There is a 12V fan interface (2pin) on this SATA hat, just right biside the power button. And I found that there are already some solution in this forum, all kinds of scripts, can drive the Fan according to the CPU's temperature, or even SSD/HDD's temperature, this are so amazing. And then when I tried these scr…

(Note: this is crossposted from an ATS issue, since I think it might be quicker to get answers here. Will post on one thread when I get answers that work in the other) Have installed ats on my Rock64, running Armbian 22.05 Jammy with kernel version 5.10.63, and am having trouble getting the fan to spin. The fan I'm using is the one that comes with this case, and it spins when I connect it to a battery. One possible issue is that I had to manually add an entry for PWM_CTL: running sudo find /sys -name pwm\*, I get: /sys/kernel/tracing/events/pwm /sys/kernel/tracing/events/pwm/pwm_apply /sys/kernel/tracing/events/pwm/pwm_get /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/p…

Hello, download page for odroid M1 states: I have two questions: - Does that mean that the system will be installed on SD or eMMC? or does that meant booting on SD is just for startup to launch system stored on NVMe (or any other storage)? - Is there a plan for booting from M.2 NVMe M-Key PCIe3.0 2-Lane in the future? Thanks Julien

Hello community, I am running Armbian taken from here on Radxa Rock 4c+. Everything I need seems to be in order (including wifi) but there appears to be no bluetooth device present (it is there using Radxa's images which have old kernels though). I tried to find out what could be the reason and noticed that dtb coming with Radxa has this: wireless-bluetooth { uart0-gpios { rockchip,pins = <0x02 0x13 0x00 0xd0>; phandle = <0xf1>; }; }; in pincntrl section and few other bluetooth/uart related bits while one coming with Armbian does not. I am not sure if this is the root cause and what the easiest way …

I have tried the Debian image for ROCK5B and the Gnome GUI works fine there. But when booting the Armbian image (running from emmc) the screen does not notice any signal from the ROCK5B regardless of which HDMI port I try. I am using a quite old HDMI monitor (connected though a DVI-HDMI adapter). How do I debug this?

I tried for hours last night and I couldn't get a single emulator to work, and most of them simply don't exist for this version of Debian Has anyone had any luck and with what OS

Hi Guys ! I bought a new WD Blue 3D NAND SSD (1TB). It is not detected by the USB 3.0 port but by the USB 2.0 port (tested with lsblk). What can I do to be recognized on the fast 3.0 port? I am using Armbian_5.73.190128_Rockpi-4b_Debian_stretch_dev_4.20.0 Best thanks in advance ... !

I have a new nanopi m4v2 and I downloaded the latest focal version today Armbian_20.08.1_Nanopim4v2_focal_current_5.8.6_desktop.img.xz Boots with uboot successfully, but after showing the message "Starting kernel ...", serial is blank. Green SYS LED glows couple of times and then both LEDs are off. I assume the system has powered off as there are no more signs of being up. I am using the usbttl from friendly elec and a samsung EVO 32G microsd. I am attaching the last uboot logs until "start kernel ..." msg Any clue as to why the board is not booting? m4v2_uboot_log.txt

Hi, I’m using the Helios64 with Armbian 20.11 Buster ( 5.9.10-rockchip64) On every reboot the SMART counter for “Unexpected_Power_Loss (174)” / “POR_Recovery_Count (235)” incresses by one. I’ve seen this unexpected behaviour on Samsung, WD and Crusical SSDs … Rebooting the box with sync && echo 1 > /sys/block/sdX/device/delete && reboot turns the disk friendly off, but shouldn’t this be done in systemd/kernel?

I have installed OMV via armbian-config (software). After that I tried to install Nextcloud the same way. In the process I noticed that Apache2 does not start due to a port mismatch (port 80). I was able to determine that obviously the web server nginx is already installed and used for OMV. Can someone please explain to me if this is intentional or if I made a mistake during the installation? Is it possible not to install OMV and Nextcloud in parallel? How can I solve this?

Hi, I would like to make backup(s) of my system. The system (debian) is installed on sata SSD @ slot 1. I would like to have the backup of the system written to zfs pool on the other slots as an image. Which in case of system SSD failure, I could write back to a new SSD installed on the same slot 1, by booting to a rescue system from micro sd card. Have this kind of functionality already been implemented? Or parts of it? Linux has a bunch of backup solutions, but I suspect they might not work with the helios64 box (sd card, internal ssd). And my only helios64 box is in "production" use, so "trial and error" method is not the first option in my min…

Hi folks I'm running a fresh install of the Debian branch with 5.X Kernel branch. I got 2 new 4TB HD setup with MDAM in RAID 1 mode to store my photo and documents with Syncloud also running on the HELIOS64. I Got also a 2,5 Sata drive mount and share via Samba to my home network. My Helios64 is plugged via the 2,5GB Ethernet port directly to my Router on the 2,5GB port. I didn't fix the hardware bug, but if I understood it's not necessary in my case ( 2,5GB Ethernet on a 2,5GB Ethernet Router) My problem is that on the same router I got an Apple TV (on ethernet port too) with Infuse app on IT. And there is the problem I got big…

I enabled spi-spidev through armbian-config but it does not show in the /dev/ directory. How do i fix this?

Hey, Was able to bring up a pretty smooth armbian installation for a lightweight desktop. Tips for others: Underclock Memory for stability cat /etc/rc.local #!/bin/sh echo 1560000000 > /sys/devices/platform/dmc/devfreq/dmc/max_freq For bluetooth blacklist the following modules: blacklist pgdrv blacklist btusb blacklist btrtl blacklist btbcm blacklist btintel NVME boot, use armbian-installer, but I had to manually change the firmware to this one: https://wiki.radxa.com/Rock5/install/spi#Simple_method to get NVME boot to work For GPU acceleration install panfrost.

Hi, i've an Hdd of 1TB and i would like to use it as a storage for my orange pi 5. I would like to install armbian and boot directly from the Hdd the operating system. I need only to buy the adaptor for sata interface. Before to buy it i've read some posts and also watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5-sZt_O51w&pp=ygUZb3JhbmdlIHBpIDUgYm9vdCBmcm9tIHVzYg%3D%3D and this guy was not able to boot the orange pi directly from the Hdd because the adaptor was creating some problem. 1) I would like to ask you if someone knows if in this months this problem was been resolved or not 2) If it is not yet solved, i would like to install the OS and…

I have Rockpi 4b v1.4 and Armbian 20.05, kernel 5.4.49, installed and booted from NVME drive. For last months survived all minor Armbian updates, but after upgrading to 20.08 ( to kernel 5.8.10) board doesn't want boot. Steps to reproduce: 1.1 get Armbian_20.05.3_Rockpi-4b_buster_current_5.4.45.img.xz and write it to EMMC. 1.2 Boot board from EMMC, apt-get update, apt-get upgrade. Kernel upgrades from 5.4.49 to 5.8.12 1.3 Reboot. Board reboots fine. 2.1 get Armbian_20.05.3_Rockpi-4b_buster_current_5.4.45.img.xz and write it to NVME drive.

If anyone is interested, I've created a shell script that can be run with cron to check A/C and battery status, and do a graceful shutdown when a battery threshold is met. It also logs power outages, battery drain when off A/C, and when it posts a shutdown (if any). This is a simple script, nothing fancy, but works for me. It has a granularity of one minute (cron is limited to one minute intervals), but I've been able to keep the system up on heavy load for 4-5 minutes before the script generates a shutdown on low battery. The script is generous -- it waits for 916mV or less before a shut-down. This value was provided by the KOBOL team on their Wiki as the…

is there any way to send audio through displayport? i installed kodi, just as a database updater, but it fills the log with errors related to the audio system, and i see that aplay doesn't show any audio device, so another question is, is there any way to emulate an audio device? thanks

After shelving my Rock 64 I dusted it off and downloaded the latest desktop image with Ubuntu Focal. The latest OS has video artifacts that the older OS did not. I can only describe the issue as "scan lines," but they are random black bars that appear through out the entire screen (as if WiFi is interrupting the signal only there's no WiFi on the device). I would like to know the best way to bisect the issue as I'm fully capable of cloning the repo, building the image, loading the image and testing it out but if there are pointers to simplify the process I'd love to hear. Hoping to give back since this is a community supported board. Thanks.

I just cannot access spi on my Rock64. I read a couple posts of it but none works out for me I'm running Armbian 22.05.3 Focal with Linux 5.15.52-rockchip64 on it. Tried enabling spi-jedec-nor and spi-spidev overlay, but with none of them I get output when executing ls /dev/spi*. Is it maybe a hardware issue, reading this post suggests that to me: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=5473&pid=34616#pid34616 But I cannot make much sense out of it. Can anyone help me get spi working?

My OPI will turn on but it shows android os via hdmi. I don't have a micro SD card and would like to install bullseye via usb instead. i've attempted ssh into the OPI via wifi and direct usb connect, but it denies the connection. I have the OPI on wifi and can see it on my network. i've tried using android adb to no use. is there a way to install armbian WITHOUT using a micro SD at all?

Hello! First time poster. Been slowly learning linux over the years. Kind of a noob but maybe at an intermediate to advanced noob level. I've been having trouble upgrading firmwares. As title says, 24.11.3 breaks display. Luckily I was able to SSH in and determine 24.11.1 is functional. I'm not sure how to tackle this. I can tell you, I have many errors on startup which i have attached. I should note I do have issues interfacing with this display. While resolution is read by armbian correctly, the refresh rate is NOT. I use a capacitive touch display that can support 1200x600@60hz. Armbian attempts to use only 75hz which does not play nice. I have attempted to…

Hi all, been trying to sort out a stability problem with what was a rock solid helios64, i moved from running armbian on the eMMC to a 256GB sandisk extreme SD card due to plex continually filling it up. currently running Armbian 21.05.6 Buster with Linux 5.10.43-rockchip64, running OMV, Plex and ZFS not much more it appears this is where things go pear shaped: Spoiler [ 6636.457621] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x2 SAct 0x3800000 SErr 0x1000400 action 0x6 [ 6636.458306] ata1.00: irq_stat 0x08000000 [ 6636.458659] ata1: SError: { Proto TrStaTrns } [ 6636.459051] ata1.00: failed command: READ FP…

I solved this for myself and created an account so I could post it here. I saw a few posts going back years which said either this can't be done on an Orange Pi 5 or they had no replies. The problem: I wanted to boot my system from the EMMC but leave my large capacity SD card plugged in for extra storage. The script in armbian-config worked as expected. However, leaving the SD card inserted caused the board to continue to boot from it. Wiping the SD prevented the board from booting at all. I could eject the SD card, boot from the EMMC and then re-insert the SD card to use it as storage, but that's annoying. The solution: I noticed …

Hello, As stated recently I had setup a Rock5B with Jammy/Mutimedia and had issues with a 2160P / 3840 x 2160 screen. Initially bootup would show a flickering screen. Adding the custom resolutions via cvt/xrandr and setting line in boot env: "exrtaargs-video=HDMI-A-1:3840x2160@60" fixed that issue However the initial login screen and logout screen resulted in a vibrant flickering background . This was on a Sceptre 50" TV and other perihperials would normally work fine. This took a while to figure out because I was confusing my active desktop provider and Gdm was being used: https://askubuntu.com/questions/91…

Hi, I'm using Armbian Bookworm for my Orangepi 4 LTS (RK3399). In the setting section (Armbian-config), I did enable SPI, however after rebooting, there is no spidev in the /dev/ directory. I hope you can help me. Also I need usart2B, I know its pins are available in this board but I don't see any related configuration or options.

Hi all, a new RK3399 board appeared, it is called RockPi4 I have two of these beasts here already, and they works nicely - I like the small details about it (nice eMMC fixture, all heat plates on the bottom side for simple cooling, and an M.2 PICe slot for my second network card Do you see any chance to get Armbian working on that beast, and if so, what can *I* do (with my limited experience in kernel programming)? Debian is working on it already, in case you need more specific information please let me know. Any help is appreciated. So far, Michael
