First a short introduction I am a Linux Noodle i recently bought my first sbc nanopi m4 v2 arm powerd board idialy i would use linux fx to transit from windows envirement to linux.However most information (youtube Nico D) about using my new sbc uses Armbian as os.So i decidit to use Armbian to start with this topic will be a collection of noodle questions 1)Armbian and gui...i find the default desktop plain ugly... can i instal a other like cinnamon if not what other options do i have?(i dont care that mutch about resource use). 2) I know Armbian overclocks bye default to 2ghz/1.5... however can i go higher with armbian if s…

Hi, I own a NanoPi M4 and I am wondering how to get the USB OTG working. I would like to set up Ethernet via USB OTG on my NanoPi M4. The only reference I can find is with https://vjordan.info/log/fpga/nanopi-neo-usb-otg-with-armbian-mainline-4x-kernel.html and I want to know if the steps are similar for NanoPi M4.

My Helios has been running well for the most part stable for the past few weeks however last night i noticed when looking at my file systems in omv that my 14 GiB eMMC drive which houses my ambian install is at 13.13GiB and looks to be growing. Normally this sits around the 5 GiB. I have checked my docker install for anything suspicious but my plex docker is only taking up about 400mb. looking at my system logs i am getting a repeated this error which is new and might be related however i am not really sure what program is casing it.

Hello, I need some help to find an U-Boot image to flash on rock64 so that armbian boots directly from USB3. Where can I find it. If your answer is to build my own U-Boot image, please give me step by step instructions. Thanks a lot

Hi guys, sorry if this question might sound stupid, but how do I open the M3 enclosure? There is no instruction in the manual, nor on the stationpc website. I just bought this little box and I am not sure if this has some screws or some other closing system. I can see the four rubber buffers on the bottom of the box, but I don't want to harm those without reason. Can anyone tell me how to disassemble the box? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have using "rock64" board. I have installed gstreamer and mpp for rockchip. Can you provide me exact pipeline for gstreamer in which we can use mpp-hardware codec? Thanks and Regards, Kishan Patel.

I'm considering buying a Rock64 4GB to use a Docker server running media apps (plex,sonarr,radarr,jackett,smb,etc). I already have a 64GB SD card available for this system, probably overkill, but I have it. I noticed another post saying the SD card performance is not what it could be. I'd like to hear from other have a similar setup to what I'm thinking about. Does it perform well enough for what you're using it for? What are you using it for? What kind of samba through put do you get on the USB2 and USB3 (perhaps with the USB3->SATA adapter) Thanks.

I finally assembled my Helios 64 today. Went well, just took a while. I'm reading the Kobol Wiki page for installing the OS on the internal EMMC and am a bit confused. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I usually boot a SBC the first time from an SD card to do some testing. Then I'll use Armbian config to install the OS onto the EMMC when I am ready. The Kobol Wiki talks about first installing uboot from an SD card. Is that actually needed? Also, do I really need to set up a serial terminal session? I usually just SSH into the box (I know find the IP address via my DHCP server) and configure everything from there.

Like the title says, when I open armbian-config on my brand new NanoPi M4N2 I don't see a "Hardware" entry in the menu... is this expected? Only reason I wanted to access is to ensure I disable WiFi as I am only using Ethernet. For the record, I'm powering it with a 5V 4A PoE adapter, using a Samsung SD-card flashed with Armbian_20.05.7_Nanopim4v2_buster_current_5.4.49.img. I'm using a 256GB Sabrent M.2 NVME SSD as the main disk (configured via armbian-config), so the SSD card is for initial booting only.

Hi, could we add tag and section for Orange Pi 5 Max? I looked at the forum and couldnt find it here.

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

Please help me install an English version of the app store. Thank you.

System logs: http://ix.io/4bd2 I have been using Armbian OS with Rock Pi 4B. The problem with Rock Pi 4B is that it doesn't have a power-on/off button. So, for closed systems with no keyboard/UI, there is no way to shutdown/start the system properly. Only option is to disconnect the power cable, which has corrupted my OS few times(by the way didn't happen on Debian). I implemented shutdown function through MRAA library and by attaching a button to 40-pin GPIO header. But with this approach, system can go to sleep, but cannot wake-up through button because my software is not running. As I have understood, the best approach to have a proper button f…

I did upgrade my NanoPi-R6C and see that there are no overlays in the linux-image-6.14.0-edge-rockchip64 Debian package; they were there in 6.14.0-rc4-edge-rockchip64 So there is no folder: /usr/lib/linux-image-6.14.0-edge-rockchip64/rockchip/overlay Is this on purpose or some mistake?

Last FriendlyElec nanopi-r2s image has hardware rng, what about adding it to Armbian? For my nanopi-r2s I patched dtb, compiled kernel module with dkms and managed to make it work with rngd. Amount of enthropy increased from ~2000 with haveged/jitterenthropy to ~4000. The only problem is FIPS failures so I had to run rngd with --ignorefail flag.

The armbian image uses org.freedesktop.login1.suspend to suspend - normally I am used to upower or pm-utils and there it was until now all the time possible to wake up with keyboard. Its quite uncomfortable to wake up the Rock64 with the power button - hidden, very small hole, I just use now a wooden chopstick for wakeup. Does anybody know, how to configure wakeup-hooks / wakeup-events for systemd …

Hey everyone, I need some assistance with a problem I'm facing. I recently attempted to attach a 5V cooler to my Orange Pi 4 board, but unfortunately, nothing seems to be happening. I even used a multi-meter to measure the voltage, and it consistently shows 0.0V. To ensure I connected everything correctly, I consulted online diagrams and made sure I was using the appropriate pins. Currently, I am powering my Orange Pi 4 using the USB-C connection. Could this be the cause of the issue? Should I change to use the power jack connection? I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions you can provide. Thank you in advance.

Hello to everybody ! I'm new to this forum and to linux. After installing my Helios64 recently, I had a few problems and had to go with the eMMC maskrom installation which were fine. PS : I've installed on top of the linux kernel (4.4) Open Media Vault (latest version). After installing everything, I've noticed that the fans were not functioning. I've checked the documentation on kobol.io site and went to the /etc/fancontrol config file and set the values as it was shown on the doc. I've restarted the fancontrol service, but still nothing. I've tried to read the pwm of my fans (has fan P7 were linked to the hwmon0 : cat /sys/class/…

Hi, I'm currently facing strange problems... I'm using NanoPi and operate some USB devices with it. Since I wanted to know the total power consumption of the system, I measured current which flows into NanoPi from the outlet. The current during while the camera working was very nice (about 1A) so I shut the pi down. Then, I found that the total current value gradually rose up from about 1A to 1.5A. This seems to be so strange because when it gets shutdown, the power should be off as well, and the pi only needs small amount of power just to light the red LED. I tried a few times but the result was always same... …

I'm trying to get a Rock64 board working with a wifi USB dongle, sold as RTL8188 and which is in fact a 8188eu. I use the latest armbian-buster as downloaded a few days ago.

I succeeded in installing Armbian onto it from the running SD card but quickly found tons of error messages in syslog related to eMMC, of the following: Mar 2 21:53:46 rockpi1 kernel: [ 2107.590024] mmc1: running CQE recovery Mar 2 21:53:46 rockpi1 kernel: [ 2107.609557] mmc1: running CQE recovery Mar 2 21:53:46 rockpi1 kernel: [ 2107.615886] mmc1: running CQE recovery Mar 2 21:53:46 rockpi1 kernel: [ 2107.617068] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk1, sector 17498312 op 0x1:(WRITE) flags 0x104000 p hys_seg 17 prio class 0 Mar 2 21:53:46 ro…

Edit: This is a duplicate already reported and a pull request in place. mods please delete The solution is to revert a patch related to power management. Symptoms are that ethernet link comes up, but no ip, dhcp, cannot assign ip address. the following patch resolves the issue on my system. I did not raise this in bug tracker since its not allowed to put things in there that are not supported. Unsure what else to do with info, hopefully it will help someone else.

I not see in Helios64 assembling guide, how should be set coolers. Where should be directed airflow? Inside or outside the case?

If anyone in the US is looking for a Helios64 but don't want to wait for the next batch, I'm prolly selling mine. I ended up using an older windows desktop to build a server; took all of an hour to set up. I wanted to use this because it uses a lot less power and I wanted the computer for another project, but I don't have the time to screw with it trying to get it to actually function. If no one wants it, I'm just going to strip the case down as a HDD enclosure and cut my losses.

Is there a reason this is turned off? From linux-rockchip64-current.config: # # CD-ROM/DVD Filesystems # # CONFIG_ISO9660_FS is not set # CONFIG_UDF_FS is not set # end of CD-ROM/DVD Filesystems Whereas most other configs have this enabled as modules. For example, in linux-sunxi64-current.config: # # CD-ROM/DVD Filesystems # CONFIG_ISO9660_FS=m CONFIG_JOLIET=y # CONFIG_ZISOFS is not set CONFIG_UDF_FS=m # end of CD-ROM/DVD Filesystems

With the recent update of the kernel "edge" package (6.8.11-edge-rockchip64) when the system boots. interfaces get different names (they used to be "end0" and "eth1" before, and now they are "eth0" and "eth1"), but more importantly, they both show different MAC address (the old address returns when previous kernel is booted). It took some time to figure why it did not appear on its prescribed address... Anyone notice this, or has a clue why?

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…

I'm on the Ubuntu focal release for the Helios64: Kernel: 5.8.14-rockchip64 If I try transferring between the 2.5Gbps port and my computer, either linked at 2.5Gbps or 1Gbps, will unlink. I tried with a StarTech USB 3.0 port, linking at 1Gbps, and the same issue occurs, leading me to believe it's a software issue with the USB driver. lsusb -t, with the startech plugged in: root@helios64:/helios# lsusb -t /: Bus 06.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=ohci-platform/1p, 12M /: Bus 05.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=ehci-platform/1p, 480M /: Bus 04.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci-hcd/1p, 5000M /: Bus 03.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=r…

Hi My problem is that armbian 6.0.7 kernel hasn't recognised my 28" samsung 4k monitor.It recognised like a 29" monitor.How can I fix this problem? and in 4k resolution right of the screen doesn't show properly.In this side of the screen is completely white. Another problem is that 4k video plays very slowly How can I fix this problem? Thank you for your answers!

I am using a Linux rockpi-4cplus with 5.15.93-rockchip64 (bullseye). I plan to use SPI1 (GPIO1_A7, GPIO1_B0, GPIO1_B1, GPIO1_B2), and then add in a 2nd device on this SPI bus via a custom CS GPIO pin (GPIO4_D5). I could not find the corresponding script file (.DTS) online (on Github) associated with the object file (rockchip-spi-spidev.dtbo). Please could someone point me to it - I can only find files for "sunxi-DT-overlays". So I decided to create my own DTS file, as follows: /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { fragment@0 { target = <&spi1>; __overlay__ { #address-cells = <1>; …

Hi Folks, I'm testing the M4 board with Armbian Buster, I'm having the following problems with the GPIO: How can I use gpio without root? I've checked and there isn't a /dev/gpiomem device so I can give permissions to other users. Only a few of the GPIO pins can be set. Most of them don't show up as configurable through gpio readall. A few of them show as ALT and although I can change their mode (input / output), I cannot change/read their value, it seems those are shared with i2c-3, so this can be the problem, but I don't know how to disable i2c-3 and use them. Also, can all the 6 cores work at the same time? Or the BIG.little architecture…

Hi, Is TrustZone being utilized at all? I can't seem to find any documentation on what execution level Kobal is running at during boot. I assume it's dropping the Kernel into EL2? Cheers

I uses my NanoPi M4 as a cheap ARM64 kvm host, and I need a newer kernel since the legacy one is kind of broken in terms of KVM. But Wi-Fi is not working in dev kernel for quite some time, I found a temporary fix for that: # cd /lib/firmware/brcm # mv brcmfmac4356-sdio.bin brcmfmac4356-sdio-orig.bin # ln -s ../rkwifi/fw_bcm4356a2_ag.bin brcmfmac4356-sdio.bin # ln -s ../rkwifi/nvram_ap6356s.txt brcmfmac4356-sdio.friendlyelec,nanopi-m4.txt Then reboot, Wi-Fi will be back.

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?

Hi, I use Helios64 from the begin and this board is very unstable according to my experience and many posts here... After many dialogue here and settings shared about Frequency and Governor Kernel... maybe i find the problem and i ask anyone return of experiences about the procedure and setting belong: - Connect USB Wireless Dongle or USB(-c) Ethernet Plug - Configure it - Disconnect all ethernet cable to the board - Use with last time crash configuration and do a endurance test your helios64 board Have a good day

Hi everyone! I bought a while a go few Rock Pi 4's for as a testing purpose and today while doing some laaarge malloc's it failed in really interesting manner; run out of memory.

New user of a Rock64 board, I've tinkered with a RaspberryPi and BeagleBone before but wanted something to set up as a home media server. I flashed the SD card with an "Armbian_5.42_Rock64_Ubuntu_xenial_default_4.4.124" image and it worked perfectly fine at home, connecting to my network, etc. However, I took it to a new location and it straight up refuses to boot. I've tried it on several displays and with several HDMI cables. It hangs for a solid 30-45 seconds after initiating boot with a black HDMI screen, and then turns off and back on dumping a log citing either spinup shutdown errors or a temperature shutdown on Core 0. I've flash…

Has anyone been able to install a remote desktop on the R2S? If so I would be very interested in how that was achieved?

So I got my Helios64 today, built it with 2 drives, a Adata SSD on the M.2 and 2 Seagates on SATA 1 and 2. But whenever I want to boot it up, the internal blue system LED lights up + System Rail power (UPS installed) with all activity LEDs and HDD error 3 instantly with no delay. There is no Console output and nothing is to be heard spinning up. When building I noticed the cable harness having the same length for connectors 2 and 3 where 3 is too short for zip tie-ing. Help is greatly appreciated.

I downloaded the latest Armbian 22.08 image for the NanoPi M4V2 (https://armbian.chi.auroradev.org/dl/nanopim4v2/archive/Armbian_22.08.8_Nanopim4v2_jammy_current_5.15.75.img.xz), flashed it to an sd card and tried to boot my NanoPi M4 (non-V2 board). It crashes every time with the attached log. I have tried 4 different power supplies, so I don't think that's the issue. I tried the Bullseye CLI image and it fails in the same way. The Sid server image works fine. Any ideas? Thanks, Ben

I own a CM3588 NAS board from FriendlyElec. The eMMC drive was factory-installed with the FriendlyElec version of OpenMediaVault, and any other FriendlyElec or Armbian image could be booted from an SD card. After installing the current version of Armbian OpenMediaVault (Debian 12 Bookworm - Armbian Linux v6.1 Build Date: Mar 6, 2025) on eMMC and updating bootloader via armbian-config (option Boot from eMMC + system on eMMC), nothing else can be booted from the SD card except Armbian images. Please, is there a simple way to fix bootloader back to original option of booting FriendlyElec images from SD card without having to erase entire eMMC drive? Boot from SD …

But nevertheless - it doesn´t boot. I use the Rock64 for my Home Automation and want to use the SSD because it should be more …

I haven't been able to find any specs on the eMMC module in the helios64. I've found some posts online indicating that it is a samsung KLMAG1JETD-B041, but I haven't been able to find any info on the write endurance of this module (not sure if it is standard for eMMC vendors to provide that information like SSD vendors). I have been able to run `mmc extcsd read /dev/mmcblk1`, which shows that the emmc life time estimation is between 0 and 10%, but since this value is in 10% increments, its not very helpful.

Sold on Reddit. Hello, looking at selling my Helios64. Mostly looking at getting a price check (what's the device still worth) and gauging interest.

Hi there, https://www.armbian.com/rockpi4/ I see there are specific builds for versions. Version A, the link does not contain an image. Does the general image work on all versions? or the link is simply broken? Kind regards

PRICEY but it's there! Has anyone from Armbian got a sample of this? Is Armbian going there? I ordered on off Amazon, will be here in a couple weeks. Perhaps EU gets it faster? Perhaps there are other sellers, I could only find this one. Actually I found it by accident on Amazon and went looking. I'm sure I didn't do an exhaustive search.
