I want to modife the dts file to support my device . But the dts file in source has some other file ,such as: 4 #include <dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h> 5 #include <dt-bindings/leds/common.h> 6 #include <dt-bindings/pinctrl/rockchip.h> 7 #include <dt-bindings/soc/rockchip,vop2.h> 8 #include "rk3568.dtsi" and than I want to compile this dts file by dtc , has some error: Error: rk3568-hm.dts:4.1-9 syntax error FATAL ERROR: Unable to parse input tree so, how can I do that ? Could I compile the device tree separately? No compile all project or patch? thx u bro

Is there any working image for orangepi5-pro? I am having trouble to understand a few things in the https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-5-pro/ It says: But downloding the image on that page brings Armbian_community_25.8.0-trunk.38_Orangepi5pro_bookworm_vendor_6.1.115_minimal.img.xz which is version 25.8.0 and that image wont boot.

Hello, I received my Helios NAS last week, I installed armbian on eMMC with no issues. But I have a issue with my ssd and hdd. When I plug in my 5 HDD + my SSD, I only see 4 HDD ... But when I remove my SSD I can see the 5 HDDs ... So my question is stupid but it's "normal" ? I have a doubt, there is not a limitation with the GPT?

Thought I'd download the latest image in the hope that it might be more stable ... kernel panic on reboot, booted second time and then whlst trying to update kernel panic again. This board seems to be so unstable it's bascially unuseable

Hi, is it possible to switch off the GPU of the Station M1 to reduce power in headless server application ? Chris

Happy New Year for all, My old Samsung Monitor stopped working some days ago, and I dont know if it will be fixed, so I decided to buy a new LG 27'' Monitor. My Zorin OS and Windows on X64, Raspbian and Ubuntu On Raspberry PIs are working properly. But booting Armbian - Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble) on "Orange PI 5" and "Orange PI 5 Plus" My New monitor refuses to show any image (only black screen). "Orange PI OS XFCE" on "Orange PI 5" is OK on my new monitor. I took a litle look at boot files but I didn't find anything to fix this problem. Any idea to solve this problem??? Thanks, C…

I see from photos of the FriendlyElec metal case (without display) for the NanoPi M6 that there appear to be two holes for wifi antennas. Does anyone know if the optional wifi card sold by FriendlyElec comes with antennas? If not, are they a standard size which I can buy somewhere else?

Hi, I would like to know if any support for VAMRS ROCK960 is planned. Thanks

I just installed Armbian 5.88 for Rock Pi 4B and bluetooth is not working. I'm using ARMBIAN 5.88 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.4.180-rockchip64 Do you need further information? Got it working without compiling the new kernel. i manually ran the last steps of https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/sources/rockchip64.conf and copied rk3399-bluetooth.service and brcm_patchram_plus_rk3399 onto the device and set up the service... after a reboot Bluetooth is working fine. Thats great!

Hi All, thanks for this great project, much appreciated! Could someone give me an educated guess whether there is a risk of damaging my board when the blue LED is flashing much faster (at least twice, probably more) than usual? I suspect something is changing the frequency or voltage and I'm not sure how much time I can take in this state to try to analyze the problem further. For now I unplug the power when it happens. I'm trying to netboot my Rock Pi 4B v1.4 with the current or dev branches of buster minimal nfsboot, with no local storage at all (just the SPI flash for u-boot). The legacy 4.4 hangs at very early boot (couldn't get clock / Failed to g…

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

I'm experiencing a lot of issues on 5.10.x and thought a dedicated thread would make sense. I've posted some reports in other threads too. Note that 5.9.x is much more stable for me, but not without problems. I'm also experiencing what I can only refer to as boot stalls, i.e. nothing happens. Occasionally when these stalls happen there is a rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks trace printed. This happens on both 5.9 and 5.10. Looking at where it stalls it seems to be around the time the hardware optimizations are applied and/or graphics modules are loaded. I have currently blocked the graphics modules from loading and have moved hardware optimi…

Hello together, I have a RockPI 4B board with the extension for M.2 SSD applications. I wanted to install a 120 GB SSD disk, but unfortunately I cannot find it under "fdisk -l". Can anyone help me here with what I can do? Are there any tricks or the like to make this work? Kind regards Z. Matthias

Hello, after some u-boot test, my helios64 don't start the bootloader stage. I can etablish a serial connection on USB Type-c port, but when I tried to start the system, I have no output on it.

Hi! How can I install the edge kernel while still being able to boot armbian and keeping the built-in wireless module working? Is there any firmware for this module at all for kernel 6.2?

Quick preface: I'm a noob in many ways, though I'm trying to learn. I may make obvious mistakes and may need clearer instructions than most. Would really appreciate someone working with me here! So I realized earlier this year that I was still on Buster and that there were two newer OSs that I could upgrade to. I upgraded to Bullseye with support from ChatGPT which worked nicely. The upgrade to Bookworm hosed my system and it now fails to reboot. System Info (prior to failure): - Helios64 board - Armbian with OMV - Originally running Buster, then upgraded in sequence: first to Bullseye (worked fine), then to Bookworm - System was always boo…

Hi all, I discovered this distro through FriendlyElec and I think it is the perfect hybrid of deb and wrt, but the only image is a file system, it doesn't even boot. All FriendlyElec's official ones are from 8 partitions with: boot, rootfs, kernel, etc, this one has everything in one and I don't think it's good for a mini device that runs in blocks like any openwrt. Has anyone installed on the r5c? How, is there a clean way to recreate the partitions? (note on boot: I turned on with sd and mask calc, steady red light, and eth mail router doesn't see it either. With friendlywrt and bullseye everything was working) Edit light blinks, I was confused between usbim…

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 would like to enable SPI on RockPi4, but I don't know how.

That newsletter indicated that USB-C to HDMI cables promised were still delayed. Is there an update on that? Thanks!

Hello all, I have a RockPi 4B in use and wanted to connect my 7" display from Raspberry via the display port. According to these instructions, it should also work. https://wiki.radxa.com/Rockpi4/hardware/display#Raspberry_Pi_7_inch_Touch_Display But unfortunately I can't find this file under "boot" because I'm using an ARMBIAN image. How can I address this 7" display? Can anyone help me here? Best regards from Berlin Z. Matthias

The rock pi 4 is no longer on the download page? https://www.armbian.com/download/?device_support=Supported&tx_maker=radxa&arch=aarch64 There is no rock pi 4 link any more?

Hey guys, So I wanted to update the OS on my NAS to patch the Copy Fail vulnerability today. I installed everything, I also did an apt-upgrade (not a full one) to make sure my kernel was as up to date as I could get it, and I also updated the initramfs, too. Now when I boot up the Kobol, I can hear the disks spinning up after a few seconds upon powering up, they make an odd noise and then just stop. The LEDs on the front panel also no longer show blue anymore, and `fdisk -l` no longer shows anything. I know for a fact these HDDs are not dead. They have worked perfectly fine before the upgrade, and the SATA pins look perfectly clean. I e…

Hello everybody, Is it possible to use the box with another card (odroid n2 for example)? Thanks a lot

Hi Armbians I have a problem with one of my NanoPi Neo 3 boards and dropped RX packages on eth0. From multiple Neo 3`s I have running, this is the only one having this issue.

Hi! In the Kobol wiki, there are 2 supported kernels : 4.4 and 5.10 In the armbian-build GIT repo, I see also patches for 5.13. What is the status of the 5.13 patches for the Helios64? Kind regards, Xavier Miller

My rock-5b has no network connection at times after rebooting. I've included a armbainmonitor -U report to this post. I can't see anything that would hint at why this happens quite frustrating when you remotely log in need to restart and can't back in. If anyone is able to assits I'd appreciate it :) armbianmonitor.log

Hello, https://doc.embedfire.com/products/link/en/latest/linux/ebf_lubancat.html I tried to port the kernel device tree in the SDK provided to the mainline kernel, but it ultimately failed to start I'm not sure what the difference is between the device tree in the mainline kernel and the rk custom kernel Please help me.

Hi - First let me say how gratefull I am for an Armbian version that works with my NanoPi M4 board! I am using the board as a web server and it is rock solid. My question is about the information that is displayed when I log in to my board using SSH. There is information about cpu temp, up time, etc. How is this information extracted and displayed? I am a Linux noob and I would like to understand how to get the cpu temp and other info to use at other times. Please help me as I am just starting out with SBC's. thanks---jb.

I saw there was a download of Buster minimal with 5.3 kernel on the nanopi neo4 page. But it just disappeared. So what happened to it? Is it still a nightly build (I see the Buster desktop with 5.3 kernel is supported)? Where can I download it now? Will it be available for downloading again? Thanks in advance.

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?

I have noticed that the NanoPi M4V2 has an OPP table which causes the device to overclock; the table is suitable for an RK3399K SoC, but the M4V2 has a standard RK3399 SoC with maximum speeds of 1.42GHz for the A53 cores and 1.80GHz for the A72 cores (despite FriendlyArm themselves citing the K speeds in marketing material, which is incorrect). I believe that this may also be causing stability issues with my unit, however I will be performing additional testing (I cannot find where it is getting the "extended" OPP tables from, so I am limiting it via cpufreq-set and testing for stability.) Does anyone have any insight or ideas?

Hi all, So if a lot of you maybe know is a heatsink and fan a must for the OrangePi 4. With my temporarly installed fan makes a lot of noise i maked yesterday the step to order a Noctua NF-A4x20 5V PWM. The price was arround €17,- not the cheapest but te reviews are amazing. Even on full speed its a lot more silence then the 20x20 mini fan but with a good air flow. But as you could read did i choose for a PWM variant so i could control the rpm´s with a PWM GPIO pin. And amazingly it did work! I have the PWM pin connected to pin 7 of the OrangePi 4. Commands to start pwm for the first time: cd /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip1/ echo 0 …

This overlays settings worked well until I have compiled my own .dtbo file and call it with overlay=..xyz... , after that all yet working overlays stopped working, even if I removed them. The boot process now skips this overlay settings. After examination, I have found file "/boot/boot.scr" and "/boot/dtb-5.4.44-rockchip64/rockchip/overlay/rockchip-fixup.scr" had some garbage characters at beginning. I didn't change anything, neither I did open them before, those files simply got garbage. After deleting the garbage chars, it won't boot anymore. Before I had tried also spi-spidev and spi-nor

Hi all, anyone here ever used a Khadas Tone Board on a Nanopi M4 ? I've just bought one but can't get any sound out of it. What I'm trying to achieve is run Logitech media server in conjunction with squeezelite using the Khadas as my DAC. LMS and Squeezelite both installed and run without errors BUT ! there is no sound. How can I make the Khadas the default output device ? Edit I have it working now you have to edit /etc/defaults/squeezelite and tell it what card to use SL_SOUNDCARD="hw:CARD=Control,DEV=0"

Trying to understand this issue. If I ONLY need the 1Gbs (LAN1) ethernet connection and DO NOT need the 2.5Gbs (LAN2) connection, do I need to perform the "Fix" for this issue? I'll be using Armbian Buster for this device.

My Rock Pi S logs a NULL pointer dereference in the ext4 module after running for 1 to 3 hours. Subsequently existing processes continue to run but it appears that new processes can't start (eg I can't ssh in). The filesystem is on a new Sandisk Ultra Plus microSD card. As a test, I remounted the root filesystem read/write and the board ran flawlessly for 10 hours. When I get time I will try rebuilding the image with the root filesystem on F2FS.

Hello all, I have a question today regarding ARMBIAN - Linux and the configuration of the ZRAM .... Under the ARMBIAN for RockPI 4 I have a ZRAM for the SWAP and a ZRAM for /var/log. Is it possible that I change this configuration and use the eMMC memory for these two areas? Because the big problem with /var/log is that it is simply too small and thus constantly runs into "ERROR" -> volume full. Thank you very much and I am looking forward to constructive contributions to solve my problem. Kind regards

I don't know if this is the right subforum for this question. Would Armbian be possible for the PineTab2?

Hi all, new Rock Pi and as well new armbian user. After reading forum threads on the Rock Pi official forum, it seems possible to get the OS to run around 2W idle. I have installed cpufrequtils without getting any success, still sucks around 4W. Any help to tweak kernel or other activities to get Armbian to get into lower power mode would be appreciated. /Daniel

hi, im trying to make my radxa 4d in to a open media vault server, iv down loaded the file from armbian's web side but it wont boot, pluging it in to one of my raspberry pi's and useing gparted, i can only see one partision for it and can view it, dose this need a boot loader? iv also tryed downloading Debian 14 (Forky) from the armbian web site and got that to boot, but the script from armbian-config is broken ( missing stuff like php) and iv tryed the script from open media vault but that errors with eth0 missing. do i need to install a boot loader on the armbian open media vault image ?

hello. I have found that you made firmware for MiQi board ( Rockchip RK3288 ). Is this firmware compatibile with Tinker Board ASUS ? It has the same SOC.

VPU hardware encode/decode appears to not work on the NanoPC-T4. I know it's a WIP. If there is a Post Installation Procedure I could do that would work for me.

Since Linux 5.15, the USB3 port on ROCK64 does not work anymore with Armbian. The following kernel errors are shown: usb 5-1: USB disconnect, device number 2 [...] usb usb5-port1: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad? This has been reported by multiple users with multiple drives and cables, also disabling UAS does not help. lsusb shows the drive/device, but lsblk does not. I know the ROCK64 is not currently supported by Armbian/has no maintainer, so I'm not expecting anything, just posting this as information and probably someone with more insights into the rockchip64 kernel build has an idea or workaround.

I have a Nebra hotspot with a Rockpi 4 plus v1.73 card. I can't find the Armbian image file to install Crankk mining. I only have 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4C+ img but no 4 plus. Help me! Is there a solution?

Hi I have spent couple of days to enable the SPI3 (the only SPI that has been routed to the 40-pin header) on Rock3A, but no success.

Hi community, I am experiencing an issue reinstalling Armbian on my Helios64. I tried all methods including booting from an SD card, flashing the image onto the eMMC directly but every time I boot, I get kernel panic (flashing status light). I also can't connect to the USB via TTY to diagnose the issue. My macbook keeps detecting the /dev/tty.usbserial-DT03OEIM and the next second it is gone. I wanted to install the original Buster image but I cannot find it anymore in any of the archives. It's kind of disappointing because what's the purpose of an archive then if not hold on to an image for a few years. My current theories…

Hello, i'm experiencing random reboots on my RockPi 4b. I firstly recognoized this when my Squid Proxy Server was not working anymore because it had no permissions to its var/log/squid directory. What i saw (lsblk) that /var/log/ is only of a size of 50mb. Will that be the cause for the reboots? Does the system crash when the logs are full? My System is a Rock Pi 4b with 32gb emmc storage. Debian Stretch with Armbian Linux 4.4.192-rockchip64 Armbian Release 5.90 (i dont know how to change to the next version as armbian-config does not provide the switch to next button) Output or Armbianmonitor -u http://ix.io/22oZ

I’m helping my friend set up Helios64 with OpenMediaVault as a media server. We’d manage to set it up as per your documentation mentioned on your wiki page but are stuck on SD-Card to eMMC migration. As after migrating with no error so far we’re still unable to boot the system without the SD-Card in Helios64. We still couldn’t figure out what could be the problem? Can you guys help?

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

Orange Pi 5 Pro 16GB Armbian Ubuntu 24.04 XFCE on NVMe (SD card to boot to NVMe) USB 3.0 is not working anymore after install. Was working on OPi OS Ubuntu 22.04 before as I used it to copy Armbian image to NVMe.

Hello everyone I wanted to build Armbian on the AIO-3588Q board. But I did not see that there was a configuration of this board. There was a configuration of the ITX-3588j board and other manufacturers on the same rk3588 platform and tried to build Armbian. In the assembled images in GPT format, only rootfs was stored (it combines rootfs and kernel (boot.img) according to the rockchip documentation). After I built it, I installed it in the rootds partition, it was installed without any errors. But the system does not start. You turn on the power, the fan starts spinning very fast, spins for 5 seconds, the lower LED lights up, and then the fan stops, the light go…

Good job with Armbian, I just can't find the power management, DevTerm A06 has batteries. Maybe I'm blind, please tell me where to look.

I have a rock 5c headless server running debian minimal with kernel 6.12.20. It runs fine for my use case, but the fan runs at full speed by default. I can manually set different fan speeds in /sys/devices/platform/pwm-fan/hwmon/hwmon2/pwm1 I have selected 'fanctrl' in armbian-config, but this does not reduce the default speed of the fan. I noticed that there are some recent patches published here and here, I assume these patches are there to deal with the fan control deficiency? Could these patches either a) be applied to the rock 5c dts file that comes with the armbian image or b) perhaps it is better to create a user defined ove…

Hi, I'm unable to get my Rock64 to boot either the Xenial or Stretch Armbian images from SD or Emmc. I can get all of the other OS's to boot fine off of either media. Ive tried with multiple Emmc chips, SD cards and Rock64's with the same results so its not the hardware. Seems like it cant find the boot loader. Ive used win32diskimager, Etcher and the Rock64 instakk software. I've formatted the SD card completely, used new SD cards... I'm stuck! Any suggestions Thanks!

Hello I built a new kernel for my rock64, how do I install it so I can boot on it I am trying to go from 4.4.174 to 4.14.106

Hey guys, I installed Armbian some months ago in my Rock64 and I had never updated the packages. Yesterday I decided to do an apt update + apt upgrade to update one of the applications I use. I noticed that meanwhile apt updated Armbian itself, and began to ask for a reboot. A few hours later I rebooted the board. At first I couldn't connect due to connection refusal, so I went plugged a keyboard and hdmi on the board to see what was happening. It looks like while doing this I unplugged the power source suddenly, and now the board won't boot the system in this OS. No image or response in the USB keyboard. …

Good day, I'm looking for help adding touchscreen support to the ROCKPI 4 Legacy Kernel and correct screen configuration settings. Im new to SBC development so I'm still learning the build system. I have taken the time to track down, what I believe, are the commits to add basic support for the "Raspberry Pi 7" Touchscreen" to the kernel. I believe their will be changes needed to rootfs so that the display manager recognizes it and sets it up properly.

Hi All, I am on my Helios64 (already have a Helios4). I am running 2 x 8TB, 1x 256 M2, OMV5 debian etc. I have ZFS running (from the wiki instructions) in a basic mirror format, and if I add a few drives I think it would still be a mirror, however I have the following question. It seems far more complicated than MDADM, and potentially more unstable (not in terms of the underlying technology, but in terms of changing these kernals etc every week). Do you think for an average home user that this is really worth it or will constantly need work? To change it would mean starting again, but I do not want to change the setup every month and wo…

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). I replugged the cable into the 2.5G socket and it went online. Then I powered the box off and on again, with the cable in the 1G socket, and it came online normally. This is what I found in dmesg/syslog: Aug 31 09:31:39 localhost kernel: [379809.423687] NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (rk_gmac-dwmac): transmit queue 0 timed out Aug 31 09:31:39 localhost kernel: [379809.424…

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…

Hi guys. I've received the NanoPi M4 V2 today. I tried Armbian images for the M4 on SD and eMMC. None boot. So I tried the RockPi4 images since that's got lpddr4 too. That works. Of course no on-board wifi since another chip. So my guess is the lpddr4 isn't supported by the uboot for the M4. It is a nice board. I've got the metal case with NVMe hat too. Looks all very nice. But a bit impractical if you need to acces eMMC. Cheers

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. Has anyone previously teste…

I plan to upgrade my NVMe memory. I currently boot off it - I set this up using the Armbian installer. Before doing the upgrade I'd like to know that I can boot off my SD card, should anything go wrong with the upgrade. But I'm unsure how to disable the NVMe boot sequence (which I think is SPI flash --> eMMC/mmcboot --> NVMe). If I insert my Armbian SD card, the system doesn't start. I've tried shorting pins 23/25 to disable the SPI flash but this has no effect. I am assuming that I can complete the upgrade by amending armbianEnv.txt to make the 'rootdev=UUID' line point to the new NVMe's UID? Is there a known solution to my que…

On a Rock 5B, I installed Armbian 23.11 Bookworm CLI via a SD card and now trying to setup boot via the NVMe drive. I followed the instructions on https://www.armbian.com/rock-5b/ to create a partition on the NVMe drive, format it, then tried `armbian-install` to boot from SPI. However armbian-install does not list the option to "Boot from SPI". It shows only the following options: 1 Boot from SD - system on SATA, USB, or NVMe 5 Install/Update the bootloader on SD/eMMC I then noticed I do not have a SPI device. /dev/mtdblock0 doesn't exist as well as "cat /proc/mtd" is empty. # ls /dev/mtd* ls: cannot access '/dev/mtd*': No such file …

Hi everybody, I running Helios64 with kernel 6.12.58 since a long time and the prahal dtb file rk3399-kobol-helios64.dtb-6.12.xx-L2-hs400-opp and my helios64 work well. Today, Armbian upgrade to 6.18.10 kernel. Is this update use the same change or patch like in rk3399-kobol-helios64.dtb-6.12.xx-L2-hs400-opp ? Is rk3399-kobol-helios64.dtb-6.12.xx-L2-hs400-opp work with 6..18.10 kernel ? Is I must to downgrade to 6.12.58 kernel with rk3399-kobol-helios64.dtb-6.12.xx-L2-hs400-opp and freeze at this kernel version ? Thanks for answer.

EDIT: I hate to have to admit this, but I completely forgot that the nanopi m4 v2 needs external antennas for its wifi to operate properly.

Hi, I noticed that on my board I didn't have notification with MOTD when updates were available and I think that I've found the culprit: In the file /usr/lib/armbian/armbian-apt-updates of the package linux-buster-root-legacy-nanopim4_20.08.17_arm64.deb, this line stop the script to go further : # give up if packages are broken [[ ! $(dpkg -l | grep ^..r) ]] && exit 0 If I remove the ! then it works (because the script, in fact, gives up if packages are not broken )

I have just put my Helios64 into operation. I have 5 HDD with 10TB each. Three HDD I mounted with ZFS (0.86) to a raidz1. the other two disks I mounted individually, formatting one disk with XFS and the last disk already had NTFS as filesystem. On this disk (NTFS) I have some very large *.vhdx files which I only use for copy tests. I use the console with the Mitnight Commander for this. The copying from the NTFS disk to the XFS disk reached a speed of about 130 MB/s. Copying from the XFS disk to the ZFS raid reached a speed of about 100 - 110 MB/s. I cannot do anything with these values alone. Can someone please tell me if these speeds fi…

Hi, i just received my Rock 4 Se and a 32GB eMMC module today, and i'm currently not sure if the Image is incompatible, or if my storage modules are broken.

Hi, I'm currently woking on transmitting image data by UART connection with the NanoPi M4, but I couldn't send data from '/dev/ttyS4', which is offered as for UART connection. I used pyserial in python to use UART but no change has been detected the pin #19 by the oscilloscope. Do I have to enable the UART somehow? If I can use UART with NanoPi M4, I would say this machine is so fantastic.

Can anyone recommend a usb adapter that works with Armbian on Rock64 wifi access point/hotspot. I tried a few I had but none work as access point. Thanks

Hi All, here is a quick howto for flashing a Nanopi M4 V2 I did this using a Linux box and a USB TTL serial cable) 1) Download an image from https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-m4-v2/ 2) Start a terminal 3) cd to the folder containing your download 4) Unzip your download to extract the *.img file 5) Connect an sdcard or eMMC to your pc ( I used a transcend adapter ) 6) Run lsblk to identify your device, in my case it returned /dev/sdc 7) Run mount to ensure it is not mounted and unmount it if necessary ( umount /dev/sdc or umount /dev/sdc1 ) 8) Run dd if =NameOfYourImage.img of=/dev/sdc status=progress 9) When completed …

WIthout SD card, it boots normally, but if SD card is inserted, it won’t boot. On serial port, it is visible that there’s a crash right after the message that says something like “booting from eMMC”. The message includes the values of the registers IIRC. Then, something like “resetting CPU”, and it starts over: tries to boot from eMMC, crashes, etc. Sorry, I didn’t record the exact message, but there’s a chance I’ll re-flash the board in the next couple weeks and then I can provide the exact messages. I’ve tested it with Bionic minimal with 5.4 kernel and buster server with 5.4 kernel. If I insert the SD card later, it’s fine. Also, the official ubuntu bionic …

Hello everyone. I have a defunct Helm Email server which carries a Rockchip rk3399 SoC. I have flashed with a custom Armbian image provided by the Helm folks. After flashing the box with the .img file, I am able to ssh into the new armbian box and go through the basic initial armbian setup. The box recognizes my 1TB nvme drive, so I then create a primary partition and format the nvme using fdisk and mkfs. I then install armbian-config and use it to install the root system to the nvme0n1p1 by using the following option on the menu: System -> Install -> 1 Boot from SD, and chose the nvme0n1p1 partition. After that I verify the BootE…

I have a ROCK 3A that reaches Maskrom/recovery but will not boot any Radxa or Armbian SD image and produces no useful UART output. UART is configured per Radxa docs at 1500000 8N1 on the debug header, and the exact same adapter/host/settings work on another ROCK 3A. There is no eMMC and no NVMe installed. I also tried resetting/loading SPI via Maskrom using rkdeveloptool db rk356x_spl_loader_ddr1056_v1.12.109_no_check_todly.bin, then loading Radxa’s rock-3a-spi-image-gef9f6b1caad.img.

Hello All, I recently bought Orange Pi RK3399 and had some problems with it. At this moment I've solved most of them, but still no luck with such an old OS like Ubuntu Server 16.04 or Debian 9 which were provided by the manufacturer (images to flash). What I am thinking now is to move this board to Armbian. Will it work? How should I in this case organize the partitions on eMMC and where to load kernel and rootfs? I don't see this board in supported ones.
