How to use GPIOS like the FriendlyELEC's official system? Wiringpi does not work on Armbian, can you adapt the Armbain system of Nanopc T4 to Wiringpi?

In page station m2 -armbian say: Important. For the new images to work, it is necessary to update the u-boot in eMMC on M2\P2. The new version of u-boot is compatible with the existing official versions of Station and Ubuntu, which are released by Firefly. To upgrade to the new version of u-boot, you need to follow several steps. 1. Download a special version of the image from the link. download link but the download link: Nothing found There's a typo in the link, or the owner deleted the files or restricted access to them. Please update the download link，thanks！

Hi all, Happy New year! I have a 7" IPS 1024X600 touch screen that I finally got it to work on Raspberry PI with the following configuration: hdmi_cvt:1=1024 600 60 3 0 0 0 # uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA) hdmi_group:1=2 hdmi_mode:1=87 hdmi_drive:1=2 The product link is here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VNX4ZWY/ When I plug this item into Armbian, the screen just flashes ON and OFF, but for some reason, the login screen works with about 1" black border on either side. When I type in log in password, the screen starts flashing again. I tried cvt 1024 600 60, but nothing c…

Hi, I have troubled to set an u-boot environment variable of NanopiM4V2. I have tried changing the rootdelay parameter by making /etc/fw_env.config file. However, I don't know how to get the number I have to write in it. NanopiM4V2 is booted from microSD card. ("cat /proc/mtd" is none) If anyone know how to set the /etc/fw_env.config file with booting from microSD card??

I've recently used armbian-install to enable booting from my nvme/ssd drive and all appears to be working fine. However, I'm curious to know, why, the device is mounted twice as shown below.

Hi, I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I had a functional Armbian distro on the Rock5B working from the SDCard, and after installing it on the NVMe (which does not boot), I restarted the board from the SDCard (after having removed the NVMe), and I lost my network connections. How could I get the network back on?

Hello everyone, I recently bought an used Helios64 NAS without AC Adapter. I found some adapters on AliExpress (for Italian country) but I don't know the PIN disposition (about the polarity, V+ V- etc.) Could someone of you share a photo of the original Kobol Helios64 AC Adapter with the polarity details? Thanks.

I installed this version (v24.11) of Armbian on a Rock Pi 4A Plus with a PoE hat and observed significant network performance issues. When powered via PoE, the network speed becomes extremely slow and unreliable, averaging around 40 kbps. However, when I switch to using a power brick, the network operates as expected, reaching up to 1 Gbps. I also tested an older version (v24.8.4) and found that the network functions correctly with both the PoE hat and power brick. Could anyone provide insights into what might be causing these issues with the newer image?

Hello, friends... The current MIPI DSI driver provided by Rockchip Inc. in older U-Boot versions (v2023 and earlier) is not compatible with U-Boot’s uclass subsystems.(a waste of time if you want to develop). I have done extensive research and made modifications to several files to make it work with the latest U-Boot versions. I have tested it with U-Boot 2023.10, 2024.10 and v2025.rc3 on orange pi 4 lts, and it works perfectly. I'm attaching the necessary files for those who need them. This u-boot driver is nearly identical to Rockchip's Linux kernel driver, uses same driver file but there some limitations because of u-boot system, bu…

Hello, I'm trying to use a NanoPi M4 with an old TV. When the system boots, the TV displays "Invalid resolution." However, it works with a different TV, which unfortunately I cannot use full time. I note that on the working TV, there's a line in dmesg stating "Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 240x67" which would imply that this can be configured somewhere?? However I tried searching, the only docs I get are outdated, for other hardware, or don't work. I tried adding 'disp.screen0_output_mode=1280x720p60' to /boot/armbianEnv.txt, but it had no effect. A pointer as to where these settings are actually controlled would be very helpful. Thanks

I am working on a new version of the Luckfox Core3566 Board and Patches, as well as adding the Orange PI CM4 board to Armbian. Both rely on the Rockchip RK3566. Luckfox Core3566 Starting with the Core3566: The current board is just the vendor u-boot and kernel. It lacks PCIe support, but surely it is helpful to be as near to manufacturer configuration in their patches. My board config on the other side is not supporting the vendor specific patches, but based on a clean u-boot v2025.10 and runs nicely with current and edge kernels and also runs smoothly with nvme storage. The luckfox-core3566 config is currently maintainerless, but maybe users would lik…

Hi all, does anyone know of a good reliable way to flash an image to a FriendlyElec type eMMC card, originally I used their microsd adapter but for some reason my PC / Transcend adapter doesn't recognise them anymore.

The images Debian Bookworm "Minimal/IOT images with Armbian Linux v6.12" generate what I understand is bad partition information. Once flashed to the SD card, the partition won't be recognised by Linux hinted by the message "couldn't find valid filesystem superblock", therefore they can't be mounted. The desktop image is fine though and the partitions generated after flashing into the SD card are recognised by the "disks" application. I've also tried with the Ubuntu-rockchip image which also generates correct/mountable partition information. I've tested this for the minimal images for OrangePi Max as well as OrangePi 5 Plus. The images were flashed with…

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.

Hi Does anyone have a working U-boot or CLI image with serial console disabled for Rock Pi 4b or Rock 4SE? Been struggling for a week to build my own with ./compile.sh and user patch but no success, U-boot hangs at user input prompt because gps sends data from power on. Have tried all suggestions on the forum.

My Helios64 has been running without issue for quite a while -- at least a month. Now -- no power. Last logs on the SD card looked to be early in the morning yesterday. D9 is solid amber with battery, flashing without. No other LEDs on the board are illuminated. I've removed from the case and disconnected the previously attached drives just in case. On initial power the fans spin briefly and then ... nothing further. I've tapped and held various combinations of power and reset, etc -- no change. Can confirm with a voltmeter the original supply is making +12v. Can confirm a separate known working ATX supply on J10 has a constant +12V and …

In both Buster and Focal 20.11.1 on helios64 commands directed to a disk increment fields in /proc/diskstats This is incorrect and does not occur in the x86 version of xubuntu Focal.

I've read many tutorials and tried many tips on how to change console resolution in Armbian Ubuntu 18.04 on ROCK64 but couldn't find any solution. I'm stuck with 4K resolution and can't reconfigure it down to 1920x1080. armbian-config tool lacks such basic functionality. Is there any way to do resolution change or do I have to get 1080p monitor? It's fucked up doing such simple thing is so complicated. Wasted over 2 hours now researching and no solution yet.

I have a jammy Armbian install on one of the (really) new IndieDroid Nova devices. I have changed /etc/gdm3/custom.conf, setting AllowRoot=true and /etc/pam.d/gdm-password, disable root quiet setting. Typical of what you do for Debian to enable explicit user/password input of the Gnome greeter. But with Armbian jammy, I still only get the default 'ttt' user forced on me, and the only value I can enter is the password for ttt. How to get the user list to appear so I can select ANY user and enter the password?

First of all, apologies if this has been asked before, I did search the forums and couldn't find anything related... My NanoPi M4V2 has an NVME still running Debian Buster and I have been delaying upgrading/flashing as I expect this to be not that trivial... My understanding is that the recommended upgrade path is to reflash the SD-card and start over, which is fine with me. However, I do want to ensure it will then again boot from the NVME drive as it currently does! My question is if I can do that directly (flash SD, boot from it, and change boot to NVME) and I will have all the previous data on the NVME *OR* …

Hello, How can I get a effective shutdown with the battery with legacy 4.4 (it always restarts) (2.5 Gbps OK) or How can the 2,5 Gbps performance issue be solved in 5.8 ? (that can shutdown OK) Which one is the easiest to address and solve for a beginner like me using OMV? Thank You! David

Hi, I own a nanopi m4 v1, I know there is no more armbian support neither maintainer for this board but I still enjoy "the other supported variants" which work very good for my needs. Until now, I only used armbian on sdcards for my system, but today I tried to install it of my emmc module. Maybe I did somethig stupid, I tried to install the bullseye current cli version from https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-m4/ on my emmc module via armbian-install. So all process of installation was ok (boot on sdcard then armbian-install => erase / format / install on emmc ...), I choose to boot from emmc too (maybe it was a mistake). => After …

The mainline 5.11 patch "phy: rockchip: set pulldown for strobe line in dts" https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/8b5c2b45b8f0a11c9072da0f7baf9ee986d3151e (not backported to 5.10.y) seems to have broken most if not all rockchip board EMMC HS400 enhanced strobe support.

Has anyone been able to get both of the HDMI output to work with newer kernels than 6.1.115? I have my TV connected to the second output and it works with the vendor kernel but not with 6.18.x. There's no output at all.

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…

Hello, I tried to install Armbian on my NanoPC T6, but when I boot it and look at the dmesg, I see some errors related to the emmc module. The emmc module is not the problem; I have tried different operating systems, and I don't encounter these issues. Here are the logs: https://paste.superkali.me/dajiqaloxa.yaml Thank you in advance.

Hi guys, I recently bought a Rock PI 4 and installed Armbian Buster with kernel 5.4.6. The os is booting fine but I am facing major performance issues when trying to download from the internet. I have also a Raspberry Pi 4 connected to the same switch (via LAN) and when I execute the following command curl -L http://speedtest.belwue.net/1G > /dev/null I am getting download speed of approx 8MB/s on my Raspberry but only 2MB/s on my Rock PI 4. From connection side and rooting there is no difference. While using the same Armbian version on my Rock64 I am getting the same speed as my Raspberry Pi. Is this a known problem with the Rock PI…

Hi, I think I may have posted about this in a few places, but I'm not sure where most are looking to discuss helios64 issues. The problem I am having is that the fans do not turn at all. As per the wiki, I've tried setting fancontrol off, and checking that the pwm value goes to 255, which it does but still no movement. I am using the fans supplied in the kit. There is nothing obstructing the fans, and sometimes if I disconnect and reconnect them from the board they will twitch a bit, or spin for a short while (until the connector is fully down against the board), but nothing otherwise. I've also tried heating the cpu up to ~85C (e.g `cat /dev/rando…

Hi, I'd like to control ws2812 led's via gpio spi. I'm using this octoprint build by ldiaz: I checked /boot/armbianEnv.txt and there's overlay_prefix=rock64 and after enabling spi via armbian-config also overlays=spi-spidev. Then I rebooted but ls /dev/spi* shows nothing. Can anyone help?

Hello everyone. Please help me with the following problem. I have a Rock Pi 4b 1.4 (with SPI flash). I did the boot from the NVMe SSD using the image rkspi_loader-v20.11.2-trunk-v2.img according to the instructions. I installed Armbian 23.11 Jammy XFCE on NVMe SSD KingSpec NX 1TB. I’m using a power supply Baseus 65W GaN Pro (with PD). The system loads and works well. However, the system cannot reboot. When i click on reboot, the system starts to reboot and after the reset goes into a cyclic reboot. I need to turn off the power to reboot. What could be the problem and how to solve it?

I installed the armbian image on an SD card and it runs fine. Now I would like to run it from the EMMC for long term reliability. i tried following what Dara Ó hEidhin did in this thread but am not successful For some reason google drive is not letting me download the driver assistant so RKdrivetool doesn't see the orange pi board like the video referenced in the thread so i cant flash it that way. I tried running it from the SD card and editing the armbianEnv.txt in the /boot folder from fdtfile=rockchip/rk3588s-orangepi-5b.dts to fdtfile=rockchip/rk3588s-orangepi-5b.dts and am able to see the EMMC drive. then i try a s…

Has anyone made WiFi adapter MT7601u to work with Rockchip64 as AP? I'm unable to compile the driver.

Any help appreciate it.

I understand that this problem is not related to armbian. I tries asking NexDock but they don't know how to make it. So, I just wonder anybody knows how to let armbian on Rock PI4B work with NexDock 360's keyboard ? I know when using Raspberry PI, I can add a line dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host to /boot/config.txt. But when using armbian, there is no config.txt in /boot. Thanks.

Hi there, I'm setting up microk8s cluster on: 2 x RockPi 4A (Linux 6.1.63-current-rockchip64) 2 x Rock 5 B (Linux 5.10.160-legacy-rk35xx) Installing microk8s and connecting cluster went without issue. My next step was to install https://microk8s.io/docs/addon-mayastor in order to create distributed volume between my nodes. The problem is that mayastor require linux-modules-extra which is not build for my kernel versions. I tried few different kernels but this module is not present there as well. My question is: Is there something what I can do? Is it possible to build this module for 6.1.63-current-r…

I'm putting together a build for a 3D printer, rk3308b-s board that has no ethernet, just a Fn-link wifi chip that is a knock-off of an rtl8192fs. I pulled the OEM dts and it describes the chip as an rtl8192cs. I'm pretty sure this is an out of kernel driver and my searches indicate I put source in userpatches. What do I need to add in the board/*.csc file to build to an image with the kernel module(s)? I do have a ralink ra2400, a mt7201 and some supported realtek dongles and If connected, I could git the code build and moprobe the module to test. Ideally, I would like to incorporate the driver via dkms in a armbian build. Can someone point me to the pro…

Good morning gentlemen, I have just discovered that one of the cores on my RockPi4B is faulty and often causes segfaults and crashes, I can disable the suspect core by issuing the following command $ sudo echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online However, this is fine if the machine has booted, but i want to disable the faulty core as early on in the boot process as possible. Is it possible to disable the core in the uboot environment, or could someone offer me some advice as to the best time to disable the core? Thanks, Leon.

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

When I reboot with kernel 6.8.4 (edge) installed by apt upgrade, I noticed my scripts that uses snapper for remove differential backups. It turns out that, if no cleanup algorithm option is used, snapshot is created. Before the reboot, with kernel 6.8.1 version, there was no issue. I on Armbian Bookworm, but also with other Debian Bookworm based OS running those same kernel binaries. Same failure with 6.8.5 Currently I don't know any more, I could run this faulty kernel in a VM as the .config is such that it also boots on virt hardware (virt-7.2 as Bookworm uses). EDIT: Also in a VM, the problem is there: root@armbian64:/tmp# sn…

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.

Hello everybody! From what I found there’s no rockchip64 (is that the right one for rk3568?) header for 5.10.110. Since the current Kernel is that version can somebody help me either build or point me to right header files? That would be much appreciated

Now the mainline u-boot has decent pcie and pcie phy driver for rk3399. The only deficiency is the clock of pcie phy not included. The first attached patch add this clock so that u-boot proper can load linux kernel residing in an ext4 partition of nvme ssd.pcie_phy_clk.patch The second patch enables loading the environment from a file in an ext4 partition of nvme ssd.env_nvme.patch More conveniently the u-boot proper(u-boot.itb) could be an ordinary file residing in an ext4 partition of nvme ssd. The idbloader(tpl/spl in spi/emmc/sdcard) could load it if pcie nvme support is enabled in spl. That's the third attachment.spl_nvme.patch Th…

Hello, I have installed the "Armbian_community_25.2.0-trunk.124_Tinkerboard-2_bookworm_current_6.6.63_minimal.img.xz" image on my tinkerboard-2 to develop a library for one wire devices. There is a problem with the usage of armbian-config on activating overlays. The entry in armbianEnv.txt includes the prefix in the overlay name. This can be workarounded manually, e.g. for w1-gpio the correct entry needs to be: overlays=rk3399-w1-gpio2 If anyone can point me to the source code I maybe can provide a PR to fix it. Another problem is the content of the overlay of this w1-gpio. After activating the dmesg give an error (the first w…

I’m using an Android TV Box X96 X6. Right now, I want to find a way to install Armbian on it, but I haven’t been able to figure it out yet. I’d appreciate any help or guidance from the community.

Hi, I've installed Armbian Jammy on a Rock 3A. It seemed to run very stable, (much more so than the Rock 64) however the first IMPORTENT issue I've found is that the system appears to freeze when Chromium is launched as well as VSCodium. That is to say I loose mouse and keyboard control, so I can't tell what else may be effected. There may be others, still checking. Any help appreciated.

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.
