Hello, I have a strange behavior with my nanopi r2s. I got the official armbian (buster) image with Openmediavault and docker along with portainer. I run qBittorrent as a container. When i start a torrent download the r2s crashes sporadically. The issue is observable only when a torrent is being downloaded..The crash happens sometimes almost immediately after boot up when the download process is resumed, but sometimes it can take a whille. Sometimes it is event possible to complete the download. I've got a nice class 10 sandisc 32 gb and a 256 SSD plugged in a usb 3.0 dock with external power supply. The r2s power is also pretty good but tested with different …

I have a strange problem with my R2S. I grabbed latest buster and focal images, burned them using Balena Etcher onto a pair of 32GB SanDisk Extreme Cards and neither is booting. Serial console shows that boot process gives up waiting for root file system and drops me into initramfs shell. Looking into /dev, I see no mmcblk0 device (or any other block device apart from loops). If I now eject and re-insert the card, the device shows up. If I do it during boot process, while the board is still waiting for rootfs, boot process continues correctly. Reboots are fine, but if I unplug the board for longer than a second it's back to initramfs for me. …

Hi, Have the r2s for some time and it worked well in the beginning. But then it started to freeze randomly. The logs do not have any error in it. Initially I thought it could be the interface drive problem, changed the interface and still freezes. When the r2s is frozen, serial port won't respond. Keeping serial connection and restarting the r2s, boot messages show normally. When I keep the serial connected, r2s do not freeze (tried for more than a week). Found this other post, not sure if this is the same problem as it does boot, but seems related. mUSB serial connection rarely works. Have to boot some times until it works. Although I am an exp…

Hi, I have one FriendlyARM NanoPi R2S. It should have 1G DDR4 memory. Everything works fine with latest Armbian 20.02.08 except only 512M memory shows up. Both Buster and Bionic have the same issue: Armbian_20.02.8_Nanopi-r2s_buster_current_5.4.28 Armbian_20.02.8_Nanopi-r2s_bionic_current_5.4.28 I tried FriendlyARM official FriendlyCore.

Received my SBC today, installed armbian and run quick tests Runs very hot (in stock yellow case). Throttles under load and can not run at full 1500Mhz Below results on armbian measured with armbianmonitor -m power measured from the wall 71C / 2.5W / 600Mhz idle 85C / 3.7W / 1000Mhz under load (stress -c 4) I also tested without case and results are better but still it throttles under full load. Ambient temperature was about 25C Is this just me and my unit has faulty heatsink or you also observe similar results? Any ideas on how to fix this? I see there is a fan header on the board but no fan installed, just the heatsink, but…

Hello! Id like to use UART1 in NanoPi R2s , but i cant turn on it in armbian-config. There is only UART4.

I have recently started working with a NanoPi R2S. I have it booting from the built-in microSD. However, I would like to be able to boot off of USB. When I interrupt u-boot and start USB on the board, it finds the hub but does not seem to find *any* device. I have tried various USB sticks of different sizes and brands, and a few ordinary devices such as a mouse. Nothing. Is this a known problem? Should it be able to work? Thanks

I'm running armbian 10.5 (kernel 5.8.6-rockchip64) on my new NanoPi R2S. I configured it as a router: lan0 (USB ethernet) is the LAN interface, eth0 (real ethernet) is the wan interface, ip forwarding enabled. On the LAN subnet I put a iperf3 client, on the WAN subnet I put a iperf3 server. Launching iperf -c _server_ip_ on the client is ok, I can reach 830Mbps, but launching iperf with -R (reverse) makes the lan0 interface to reset/disconnect. I can find the following logs in the kernel: Sep 8 20:53:32 gw kernel: [ 611.981696] ------------[ cut here ]------------ Sep 8 20:53:32 gw kernel: [ 611.981726] NETDEV WATCHDOG: lan0 (…

The NanoPi R4SE is similar to the NanoPi R5S. Would love to have an Armbian image for it.

Just wondering when an image will be available for the R5S - I have one here sitting waiting for it 🙂

I installed Armbian on my R5s Armbian 23.8 Bookworm Kernel 6.5, Size: 479Mb, Release date: Sep 18, 2023 On this version, I find the classical problem : a module I want to build does not build. Reason ? apt says : Coundn’t find any package by glob ‘linux-headers-6.5.3-edge-odroid’ And make creates an error because “build” directory is not found. I can find the linux-headers-6.5.3 : https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v6.x/linux-6.5.3.tar.gz But where can I find the odroid version ?

On my NanoPi R6C I downloaded the Armbian 23.11 Bookworm CLI and booted the machine from the SD card. Then I installed gnome and firefox. Most things works so far, but I get no sound over hdmi (there is no headphone jack). The gnome - settings - sound shows only the dummy device. Youtube videos play ok, but somewhat laggy and with very high processor load (all cores close to 100% on the gnome system monitor).

Hello! First of all I want to thank everyone in Armbian for making OS that works, I am testing Armbian Jammy 23.2.7 Cinamon Desktop and so far it is much better than ones from FE. My intentions are using R6C as Home Assistant server (that works), NAS, Kodi Multimedia player with audio passthrough. But important question this time is how correctly to transfer OS from 32Gb SD card to built in 32Gb eMMC memory? I was trying several times sudo nand-sata-install method, but every time while "Cleaning up ... Almost done." it finishes with error: Error while creating U-Boot loader image with mkimage grep: /mnt/nand-sata-install.YRXC4e/bootf…

Hello, I try to use armbian image on SD card for my nanopi r6c, it is without emmc, can only boot with SD card. However, armbian can't boot correctly. It stop at pre-mount while booting up, please refer to attached screenshot. I tried the images that can download from armbian web site and build armbians image with my PC, none of them can work, all are same issue, but Dietpi image for r6c can boot successfully. Images tried, but not work: #download from armbian site Armbian_25.5.1_Nanopi-r6s_noble_vendor_6.1.115_gnome_desktop.img Armbian_25.5.1_Nanopi-r6s_bookworm_current_6.12.30_cinnamon-backported-…

Hi Team, I hope you're all keeping well. I'm into my first foray into armbian, and I'm having trouble just getting it to boot on my Nanopi R6S.

I'm about to install active cooling fan on my recently delivered nanoPI T4. However, I cannot get what is a type of the soldered 3-pin fan connector on this board? What I see there is visually too small as for standard connector size. Is it something special I have no clue about yet, or it is for future proprietary Friendlyarm's fan designed specially for the board? Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks

Despite this being the supported image advertised for the board, it just does not boot on this board, whereas the "current" image does boot (but with limited hardware support). I'm booting with just the serial console connected, to limit interferences On serial console with default config I get: Found U-Boot script /boot/boot.scr 3185 bytes read in 4 ms (777.3 KiB/s) ## Executing script at 00500000 Boot script loaded from mmc 1 117 bytes read in 3 ms (38.1 KiB/s) 7861795 bytes read in 361 ms (20.8 MiB/s) 20770824 bytes read in 941 ms (21.1 MiB/s) 104363 bytes read in 11 ms (9 MiB/s) 2698 bytes read in 7 ms (376 KiB/s) Applying kernel provided DT fixup…

I tried this image : Armbian_5.89.190626_Nanopim4_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_5.1.0.7z, but the MAC address changes on every reboot, and so the IP address changes (auto IP).

Hi, Just bought the SATA HAT and before I get started, I see in the OS Support that Lubuntu and Friendly Core is supported. Does this Exclude Armbian ? I'm not overwhelmed with FriendlyCore . Thank sin advance

Greetings! Is there a way to permanently increase USBFS size in Armbian?

I am trying to get a camera going on the Nanopi-m4 (I have tried another board as well with similar results). The sensor is setup in the device tree correctly and gets probed on boot.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, I'm not an expert with this. I have the M4V2 with metal case. I downloaded Armbian_20.02.7_Nanopim4v2_bionic_legacy_4.4.213_desktop.7z and burned the IMG to one of my spare M4 eMMc Problem is that the eMMC does not boot and does nothing So I tried another M4 eMMC and exactly the same thing. So I burned the img to an SD card and it boots fine. But I cannot see the eMMC AT ALL, lsblk does not show it Is it possible the M4 eMMC is NOT compatible ( I dont' think so or I would have seen in my searches) OR I did something wrong ? Or missed a step I don't remember having this with my M4 ? Thanks in …

Just to let people know that the NanoPiM4V2 build works on both NanoPiM4 and NanoPiM4V2 boards

Anyone cares, have some helpful tips or time & knowledge to fix this ? Problem: No audio on either sink (board or HDMI) with the latest built made available for download (Armbian 23.02 Jammy XFCE Kernel 5.15.y, Size: 1313Mb, Release date: Feb 27, 2023) Tried so far: Switching the default server to nanopmi4v2 and toggling the default sink; Hints: Both sinks work fine on a previous 'dirty nightly built' that I have used for a while.

Hi all, I have found a weird condition. I have a home built image running off sd card with no probs. my EMMC has friendly distro on it.

Hello all, I am running Armbian 23.05.1 rock5b jammy legacy on a rock5b. The current kernel version, as given by uname -r, is 5.10.160-rockchip-rk3588.

I also tried searching for the headers in my file system with find / -name "linux-headers-$(uname -r)" but the command returned no results.

Hello, Some weeks ago, I installed the "under development" version. File was named Armbian_22.11.0-trunk_Odroidm1_kinetic_edge_6.1.0-rc5.img.xz Now, I see that the "advertised" version is a rolling release armbian 22.11 Jammy. Based on this (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases) page kinetic is an earlier version than jammy. If I scroll down the page ( https://www.armbian.com/odroid-m1/ ) , I see a kinetic rolling weekly release. I suspect that the kinetic is an unstabled release while Jammy 22.11 is. Please can you confirm/explain? If yes, is there a way to "downgrade" to the stable version? Thanks …

Hello, I bought myself a NanoPi M4V2 and 4x SATA HAT for NanoPi M4, hoping to make a small home made server with some docker containers. I installed Armbian buster 5.10.21, downloaded from your site and managed to boot the OS from an attached SATA drive. I have some experience with linux (mostly Ubuntu/Debian), I own and I’ve played with Raspberry boards and I wrote small python scripts to work with GPIO on raspberry pi (how to blink a led or how to connect and display some text on an I2C 16x2 LCD). I thought that might be a nice project if I could connect an I2C LCD to nanopi and display some text text from python script, but here where I hit a bric…

This happened out of the blue, without indication of anything else being wrong. I just noticed that NFS stalled, and realized that the server is not on the network. The system on the box was running fine, but there were no lights on the network connector (it is connected with the upper, 1Gb, adapter).

Hello, I installed OMV on my Helios64 and created a share. The device stays online and works well for hours and then at some point eth0 goes offline and no longer communicates. The only way to restore connectivity is with a reboot. I looked at the logs and dont see anything jumping out at me as to why this happens but I could very easily be missing something or the log didnt capture the event. I have not yet tried to console in through the USBc port when this occurs but will try next time. Has anyone else seen this issue or fixed it?

Hi, New builds (hosted by armbian AND self compiled) of armbian do not post / boot at all. Completely black screen on hdmi outpout. Ethernet link lights do not light up. It's like there is no bootable media inserted (it definitely is). I have tried many combinations of different kernels and ubuntu versions. None work. Board: nanopc t6 8gb ram They used to work, and archived copies from november 2023 work, booting perfectly. I also compiled one back then which also worked. But now this is not working any more. Does anyone have idea why it no longer posts? Thanks Luke

Very interested in the Helios64, but can't help but to notice the rockchip cpu in it is 5+ years old at this point. Any plans to upgrade it to a more modern cpu? At this price range I'd probably lean towards an Odroid H2+ with a celeron J1114 chip which has like 2-3x the multicore performance and a similar TDP

ok, so my flaming new helios finally arrived (after Christmas, what a pity) and, after spending some time assembling it (it's not the easiest thing in the world, expecially if you want to attach the mainboard BEFORE connecting all the cables, as specified within the instructions) I started configuring it. As i don't like the easy way (I'd have bought something else, if i would have) I went for a daily build with Groovy (i don't need OMV for my purpose and am quite accostumed to the ubuntu way), and the first thing i did was to make it a rolling release, putting devel in the place of groovy in sources.list, so that now i run hirsute (even if with a groovy userspace, a…

My Helios64 has been booting from an M.2 drive since I got it, and while I've been doing regular apt-upgrades I've been ignoring the bootloader. This post suggests that could be a problem, so I figured I'd upgrade the bootloader through armbian-config. Trouble is, I can't. I can load armbian-config without error, but when I go into System there's no Install option any more. All I have are Freeze, Nightly, Lowlevel, Bootenv, CPU, Avahi, Hardware, Other, SSH, Firmware, ZSH, Default. Is there another way to ensure the bootloader is up-to-date?

I literally registered to post this complaint here. How STUPID it is to have a M.2 SATA SHARED WITH HDD1!! IT DEFEATS THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THIS ENCLOSURE. PERIOD!!!! My mistake was that I did not know what it meant that M.2 was SHARED before I purchased this enclosure and now, I have a need to expand beyond the measly 16GB of your eMMC and I found out THE PAINFUL WAY that IT IS NOT POSSIBLE because of the shared SATA port. IT"S BEYOND FRUSTRATION. YOU CANNOT EVEN IMAGINE HOW STUPID THIS DECISION OF YOURS IS. IT JUST LITERALLY DOWNGRADED YOUR NAS FROM AN EXCELLENT ENCLOSURE TO AN OVERPRICED JUNK THAT I HAD TO WAIT FOR FOR MORE THAN 6 …

Today I upgraded my Helios64, and after reboot it didn't come back. (Waited for 5 minutes or so) After connecting a serial cable (via the USB-C connector), and rebooting, I saw a normal bootloader log (as far as I can see), but no kernel log, just a repeated 'ERROR: rockchip_plat_sip_handler: unhandled SMC (0x82000003)'. I rebooted again, to create a bootlog file, and I saw the same. Then suddenly, after a minute or so, I saw network activity, and my Helios64 was back. Now I have 3 questions. 1) Why didn't it boot twice, and then succeeded? 2) Why is there no kernel bootlog? 3) What is an unhandled SMC? The log ended with …

Hello since kernel 6.12 led (heartbeat and mmc activity) on board rock64 don't work.

Are there no more update coming for the armsom-w3?

Wish I could provide more details beside the versions. I've went ahead and froze the kernel updates. If there's a way to maybe pull a log of sorts please let me know and I'll post it.

Trying to get sound working on my t4. Looks like pulseaudio detects the realtek rt5651-codec but I can't get any sound out of it. The software mixer seems to be showing audio, I just can't hear anything nanopct4 4.4.161-rk3399 SMP aplay-l shoulws realtekrt5651co as device0. Any help debugging this would be great. Regards, Cam

So now I am playing with Rock64 4GB. I installed the Armbian_5.65 server edition OS and then installed xorg, lxde, and lxdm., then rebooted into a working system. Final stage of setting up was to test rhythmbox_3.4.2 and there was no sound. pavucontrol > playback shows the app is running and the worm is leaping about, but absolutely no sound. Same playing a .wav file with mpv, or indeed any player. Is there something unusual about the audio socket, or some other limitation. armbianmonitor -u = http://ix.io/ltt0

I have a 4G Rev 2 Rock64 that is running like a champ on current - 5.4.2 as of this writing, as far as USB and Ethernet are concerned. I did have to blacklist UAS for all my USB drives, and now the board is rock solid even with heavy disk and network IO. I do have one problem though, I have no sound. I have the following loaded (automatically): root@chdock:/home/sugata# cat /proc/modules |grep snd snd_soc_rk3328 16384 0 - Live 0xffff800008dc9000 And yet, I get this: root@chdock:/home/sugata# aplay -l aplay: device_list:272: no soundcards found... I searched around this forum and nothing obvious came up. Any ideas?

Hi folks, I have a Firefly AIO-3399C which boots Armbian fine, but no USB devices besides the root devices are detected. This happens with both the kernel 5.19.170 and 6.0.7 based images, made by @balbes150, which I've downloaded from https://users.armbian.com/balbes150/firefly-rk3399/ Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello, can someone help me with my problem. I have a ROCK64 with 4GB of RAM and an ARMBIAN 5.75 stable Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS 4.4.174-rockchip64, installed. My issue come with usb ports, from the three USB of the this device only works two: one 2.0 and 3.0. And when i have a disk connected towards usb 3.0 i have issues with port usb 2.0, it doesn't work well and I end up disconnecting the USB 3.0 to can work with my device connected towards USB 2.0 so I assume that the current power on the USB port is having issues or it's not working well. Anybody an idea? thanks!

Hey guys, looks like there's no support for board serial number in latest images for Station M2. Serial number on rk356x is coming from otp memory, so: 1) there are no bindings for `otp` and `cpuinfo` devices in .dts, like here 2) there are no kernel driver to extract data from otp memory, like here I'm ready to contribute, but not sure what's the future plan for those.

Hi, after solving the WIFI issue on my T4, i've tried to setup an AP.

Curious if anybody else with tick-stop error? Not certain if this applies; the only change is installing Docker and Pi-Hole containerized. A quick read seems related to a soft interrupt of 8; - The only solution I could find by googling; is: "Add nohz=off to the kernel parameters during boot to disable it." Can I safely ignore this error message; or should I do this nohz=off to the kernel parms?

Hello, Since few days, my PSU makes a high-pitched noise. As my NAS is installed in my living-room, it is annoying. I have changed my PSU three weeks ago, it was good during these three weeks, but it comes suddenly noisy... Does anyone else has the same issue ? And any ideas on how to fix this ? Thanks

Hello, I am currently working on a project involving local LLM inference on Rockchip SoCs using the rknn-llm framework. I have two specific questions regarding Armbian support for the NPU: 1. NanoPi M5 (RK3576): FriendlyElec recently released the NanoPi M5 based on the RK3576. If I use the Armbian image for this board, will I be able to run LLM models using the NPU? I am considering purchasing this board for LLM testing and would like to know if the driver support is already there. 2. NanoPC-T6 (RK3588): I have a NanoPC-T6 running Armbian, but I cannot find the /dev/rknpu device node. I have tested this with both 6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx and 6.12.58-current-…

Hello everyone, I would like to thank @lurk101 very much for his patience in helping me how to boot Armbian directly to NVMe in my ROCK5B. I could do that with the Official release 22.11 Jammy with Gnome from the website. The PSU I am using is a dumb 5V 3A which I used to power my Raspberry Pi 4. As I could boot the OS directly from NVMe, I asked if he would mind if I shared the information with you. He answered he doesn't, so here we go... However, I was not able to use Ethernet port neither my wifi m.2 adapter, so there is no network connection... If I have more information I…

Hello! Just wondered if an armbian image was planned for the Odroid M1S? Thank you in advance!

Hi, Thank you very much for the community support of Odroid M2. The latest release 25.5.0-trunk.256 works great, boot without any error messages. Only rolling release is available for now, but that doesn't matter. I would just like to ask for support on two issues: 1. monitor connection via USB-DP is not working - I don't know what is needed to make this connection work 2. some tree-overlay drivers specific to Odroid are missing - I mainly miss the ability to connect display-Vu8S (via MIPI-DSIdisplay_vu8s.dts). Source codes can be obtained directly from kardkernel images, but it is not in my power to compile them for armbian. best rega…

Because i need a more recent kernel than 5.10 on my odroid m2, i tried armbian. i searched for the nearest model and i manage to find Radxa Rock 5C (rocky 3588s2) i flash emmc with Bleeding edge images with Armbian Linux v6.11/ Debian 12 (Bookworm)Minimal / IOT for the rock 5c in /boot/armbianEnv.txt i changed just one line after installation : fdtfile=rockchip/rk3588s-odroid-m2.dtb and after a final apt upgrade i can run version 6.12.1-edge-rockchip-rk3588 of the kernel. for now it seems fine to me.

I tried to update my odroidm1 to 23.11.2 (from 23.8.1) by fresh install using Armbian_23.11.2_Odroidm1_bookworm_current_6.1.68 flashed to sdcard but when booting the device (holding recovery button) I see "Gave up waiting for root file system device." The same issue when using the other CLI images flashed to sdcard. Any idea how to fix this? When mounting the sdcard from a ubuntu system the uuid seem to match and the sdcard is mountable.

I've been trying to get OMV setup on the Helios prior to adding my hard drives and I keep getting errors and communication failures when I try to do pretty much anything. I like OMV for it's GUI, but honestly, I've never been a fan of it functionally. Is there anything comparable to it that works with the Helios64? Anyone have any suggestions how to fix it? I have logs but I don't see a place to attach them.

Hello together, i experienced network problems with Helios64 and latest Debian Buster Image. I cannot setup a static ip address after installation of OMV5, moreover it crashes on install. I double checked it on a fresh image without any changes and an immediate installation of OMV over softy. The result is the same. After the crash OMV is in fact available, but the network configuration is broken and a static setup doesnt work over the OMV UI, nor armbian-config, also the boot takes about 2-5 minutes due to whatever reason. armbianmonitor http://ix.io/2PPJ

Device: Orange Pi 5B OS: Armbian 23.5.0-trunk.135 Bookworm Pipewire devices listed using pactl list sources only lists a single input device, which I think corresponds to the headphone jack input device. There should be 2 input devices, one for the onboard MIC and one for the headphone mic. When trying to test the onboard mic with arecord -l the audio is completely silent which indicates that the only device enumerated by arecord actually corresponds to the headphone MIC Unforunately, I don't recall if the original OrangePi OS had both mic options listed or not, but I can check if necessary.

Hi everyone, Two Questions: 1) I have two Orange Pi 3 LTS boards at home. I installed AdGuard Home on one, serving as DHCP (I'll call it OP1), and on the other, I left a Docker with other apps (qbittorrent, omv6, samba, etc. - I'll call it OP2). Both are installed via SD card. But if there's a power outage, OP1 works normally again after, without any problems. But OP2, on the other hand, has experienced data corruption several times. Does anyone know why OP1 works fine and OP2 runs the risk of having to reinstall the system in such a case? 2) If I used a board with EMMC memory and unified all the system…

My Helios64 was running fine with 5 HDDs for a couple of weeks, then I suddenly couldn't access the shares anymore and I noticed only two HDDs were running (the rest having no indicator lights). HDD slot 3, 4 and 5 appears "dead", no power up on boot, no indicator lights. I have checked both +12V and +5V rails and they are present, everything is plugged in. I can move the HDDs from slot 3, 4 and 5 to slot 1 and 2 and they will power up just fine. The hard drives also work in other machines. I'm a bit lost as to what might be wrong, any ideas?

Hi! I'm trying to create a vpn access point with a Rock64. I'm receving a low speeds with openvpn but the openssl tests show that there is crypto acceleration. I'm new to all of this.

I finally have openZFS loading as a module with modprobe (still need to test that it's actually working correctly, but so far so good...) I'm using the Armbian Lunar CI rolling release since there is a working Linux-Header for this kernel https://imola.armbian.com/beta/pool/main/l/linux-headers-midstream-rockchip-rk3588/ After that, I essentially followed the instructions for building openZFS, but some minor changes to the META file for license and max kernel version. I want to say thank you to all the Armbian team members for making such an amazing platform for SBCs. All my boards run Armbian. here was the config command …

is it intended to integrate openzfs-2.0.0 and if so, is the timing already known?

I think i messed up with armbian-config, namely with 'system' sub section. I noticed that lately the only images that boot are armbian with kernel 6.9.x Nothing, i say nothing with a lower kernel number would boot -- even those SD cards that were good last time i tried them. None of orangepi factory images boot. In and out of itself, it is not a problem. Yet. But what if something changes in a future?

Brand new out of box, the wireless works fine on the orange android os. I then downloaded the orange os aarch64 image and installed. It was the latest. Wireless did not work, but after a couple lines of code/commands it did. I had to add a line to the orangepienv.txt file that was dealing with overlays. After that and a reboot it worked fine. BUT it is seriously boxed in. That is, because of lack of aarch64 support I could not download what I needed...so I tried debian which worked ok, but had issues with processing streaming video over 480p...anything higher I was having screen stutter and ripping plus their was artifacts everywhere. Finally I settled on Armbian,…
