Hi team, This is not exactly Armbian related, however I hope to find some help here, also it can be useful for someone else in custom board development (my case). For testing I have Olimex RK3328-SOM-EVB and RK3318 TV box boards. They both behave the same way. As summary I'm trying to boot Linux using the Bootrom and USB OTG only, in other words without any external boot NVM attached. To archive this I build U-Boot SPL (u-boot-spl.bin), which support SDP protocol via USB OTG. For SDP file transfer I'm using imx_usb tool. The binaries used in the process are: rk3328_uboot_v1.19.250.bin - consists of u-boot-tpl.bi…

Hi, community. I have set up this device from which I'm writing this, installed Armbian from SD card, by sweeping out original FriendlyElec images from the FriendlyElec's partition, so I wiped off the Android and Ubuntu, and copied on it the Armbian image, which appeared with the title "RAW". Booted and installed fine. It works. From armbian-config I managed to boot from an USB Toshiba 1Tb disk. To this part, I have a little but efficient linuxPC, ¡¡¡THANK YOU!!!. I'm trying to compile binaries of STM32, or Arduino devices, comment this to tell details only. Every 5 to 8 bootups, it didn't recognize the USB drive, and dumps a series of Hex data, divided in bunches. S…

I had one OPi5 setup and working properly with one of my TVs. I was running Kodi and using the remote from my TV to control Kodi using HDMI-CEC. I went to setup a second one on another TV but this time the TV remote did not work properly. Through elimination I came to determine the HDMI cable was the issue. I ordered another HDMI cable that had the Ferrite at each side of the cable. Now it worked properly. Thought this might be useful for others. This is the cable I ordered: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B003PDHJ6M Conclusion: In order to make HDMI-CEC work properly, make sure the HDMI cable is of sufficient quality. I think ones with the Ferrite may be b…

Hello, I have been looking for the solution to give access to the GPIO from the PI user for several weeks, does anyone have the solution? For information, I use a RockPI 4B+ under Armbian 22.11.4. Thank you in advance for your help. Regards Laurent

Armbian_23.8.2_Orangepi3b_bookworm_edge_6.5.2.img boots, runs, and installs OK on Orange Pi 3B. Tested on 4GB RAM model with 256GB eMMC. - WiFi works* - HDMI audio works - 3D acceleration Panfrost driver works I installed xorg, mesa, x11vnc, jwm, pulseaudio, and flatpak native packages, which was followed by adding Kodi flatpak. Everything worked - with one caveat: there is a delay between keystrokes and output. Typing locally is fine, the problem manifests itself during an inbound SSH connection or when using a remote control app for Kodi on Android mobile. I have tried first replacing pulseaudio with pipewire (no change), making su…

Hi friends... I understand that you have to be careful with the power supply and SD cards. For the above, I bought 2 power supplies (original) and several SD cards from different suppliers. After several attempts I can't get it to start from the sdcard (it only starts from the nvme). I burned the images on Linux (wipefs + dd + gparted) and Windows (SD Memory Card Formatter + balenaEtcher). Also, I used RKDevTool to burn the images to the sd card and nothing (evidently I deleted the spi content). --- begin part of the log --- U-Boot SPL board init U-Boot SPL 2017.09-gc060f28d70-220414 #zyf (Apr 18 2022 - 18:13:34) Failed to set cpub01 Faile…

Wich Armbian destop version to use on PI 5b to be able to setup/use onboard wifi and BT ?

I'm trying to switch the upper USB port to peripheral mode so I can use the ethernet gadget on it. Has anyone done anything like that before? I've got an issue here https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-build/issues/117 with some of the things I've tried already.

Amrbian does not seem to turn on the NanoPC-T4 fan.

AND sudo sh -c "echo 0 > value" # Fan Is OFF.

Hi, I'm trying to fully boot an Orange Pi 4 from a USB flash drive from Uboot's prompt before it actually loads the kernel from the SD card (The SD card already has a working image of Armbian installed, that's where the board pulled Uboot from and is booting from it). The SD card currently has Armbian_23.5.1_Orangepi4_jammy_current_6.1.30_gnome_desktop installed on it. The reason why I'm trying to boot the board from USB is that I want to try an image with Orange Pi 4's legacy kernel to be able to take advantage of its vendor Mali blob for performance comparison against the current open source Panfrost driver in mainline kernel. And that I don't ha…

If Helios/Kobol is out of business - What "specs" should I use to define a replacement board - a rockchip 3399 board with the dimensions ? Help please -- (I'm getting an increased number of memory errors and of late an increased number of USB faults) I'm running (at the moment) - the system as a simple NAS with exported NFS4 volumes - the entire lot of 5 drives are formatted at BTRFS -- I'm working on archiving the data off and once done I'll format all as ext4 and try using simple RAID.

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.

Hello, I am trying to boot my 4C+ from SPI. I soldered the chip and after adding "overlays=spi-jedec-nor" and "param_spinor_spi_bus=1" in "/boot/armbianEnv.txt", "ls /dev/mtdblock0" returns a result. After running "nand-sata-install" the entry "Boot from SPI - system on SATA, USB or NVMe" is missing.

I get static noise on the analog audio out when no sound is playing (I use alsa). I tried to add a configuration file in /etc/modprobe.d which disables power saving (as this appears to be the usual reason for static noise), but this does not work. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Having some issues here. I wrote the newest Ubuntu CLI to my SD card. I booted into the device and used Armbian-Install to move the root to the NVME. I fixed the UUID on the fstab file. I was able to boot up from the SD + NVME. I did an apt update + upgrade, that seemed to go well. I rebooted the device and it won't boot.

Hi all, Something to share for those who use the USB-C serial console from another Linux host. Install and use 'tio' to connect to the serial console instead of minicom. This supports both 1500k baud and also can be easily used inside GNU screen (minicom gets a meta key conflict per default; CTRL-A is default meta key for both GNU screen and minicom). Minicom resulted in regular errors posted in syslog by the ftdi_sio kernel module. Did not run any strace to find out what syscall is causing it, but in short, tio appears to not treat the tty as a modem: no errors are popping up in syslog. Hopefully the serial consoles will remain up now. One caveat: I did not fin…

Hi folks, I am wondering if somebody with a mac enviroment has a decent / performant samba connectivity? After I upgraded to Big Sur I have severe issues with the samba protocol when accessing my shares on the helios running openmediavault. I know that Apple had made some changes with samba but there might be some users that dug a little bit deeper and could give me a hint. I did try it with different settings in the extra options over the past weeks but with no luck so far. Sidenote: Also NFS is terribly slow and laggy. I am back with AFP connection now that does the job perfectly and fast.

Happy new year everyone, So I really do not like the stub-resolver in Debian/Armbian , and I do not like forwarding any DNS request to any 3rd party in general. After some searching I found this: https://www.turek.dev/posts/disable-systemd-resolved-cleanly/ . Since we are on Armbian we need also remove the 00-armbian-default-dns.conf which points to cloudflare's 1.0.0.1 . 1. We probably do not need this, but just in case someone does not have it. sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/ 2. We set the DNS Stub Listener to no and remove the comment from the line if applicable: sudo sed -i '/DNSStubListener=/s/^#//;s/=.*/=no/' /etc/…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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 …

I'm working on a new distro which is an ARM port of slackware64-15.0 beta. The cooked image is here: http://mirrors.aptalaska.net/slackware/slarm64/images/helios64/ This image is built using the build scripts at https://gitlab.com/sndwvs/images_build_kit/-/tree/arm/ The high level view is that it's downloading the kernel from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git (linux-5.12.y) then applying the patches found at https://gitlab.com/sndwvs/images_build_kit/-/tree/arm/patch/kernel/rk3399-next then builds the kernel with config https://gitlab.com/sndwvs/images_build_kit/-/blob/arm/config/kernel/linux-rk3399-next.config…

I'm working on a project using the nanopim4v2-current image. I noticed an issue with the available HDMI output resolutions. Only a select few resolutions are available, despite the connected screen advertising support for additional ones. I was also unable to output a custom resolution (for example 1920x538) by adding the proper modeline in manually through xrandr. I've been looking into this for a bit and managed to find a partial solution in Miouyouyou's recent pull request "[RFC] RK3288 : Add HDMI resolutions". Adding the patches to my build enabled support for my monitor's native resolution (1920x1200) and allowed me the ability to output custom resol…

I'm having a very weird issue. I've encrypted a 5TB USB drive on my computer with LUKS sudo cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda1 And it works great on my computer. But when I plug in into my Helios64 and try to use it: sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1 secret Enter passphrase for /dev/sda1: No key available with this passphrase. It just refuses. And if I try to encrypt the drive from the Helios64 using cryptsetup it never finishes, the command runs forever. Anyone had similar issues? Any ideas?

Is there a method to boot with BSP kernel (the 4.4 kernel supplied by Rockchip/Radxa) on an existing install (jammy) to compare power usage to mainline kernel (5.15.y current or even 5.19.y rolling)? I tried using the switch kernel support in armbian-config, but the linux-image-legacy-rockchip64 4.4.213-rockchip64 just hung during early boot and had to recover to linux-image-current-rockchip64 5.15.69 . P.S. This is related to my question on the Radxa forums about reducing Rock Pi 4 B+ power usage.

I always received beacons with Country "US", until I created the file "brcmfmac43456-sdio.xunlong,orangepi-4.txt". It is a copy of brcmfmac43456-sdio.txt and I added the line: ccode=DE With this modification, I see the expected beacon. (Country: "DE", correct tx-power, ...) I think this is not the intended way to configure it.

I have an orangepi 4b rk3399 board and I am not able to boot with an armbian image above kernel 5.0 . until kernel 4.4.2.1.3 it boots but no usb port works and if you update the kernel it doesn't boot anymore. Can someone help me.

Leapo has started porting RPi.GPIO to Rock64 as R64.GPIO, you can find her work in progress at https://github.com/Leapo/Rock64-R64.GPIO Original thread with instructions/updates is here: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=5902 She also made a more simple tool to work with GPIO: https://github.com/Leapo/Rock64-BashGPIO

Hey guys, First of all I would like to let you know that the default DTB has an issue, the GPU status is disabled by default. I've changed this & now my GPU is detected & working fine so far. (Armbian Jammy current) But I'm also facing some other Issues.... not all USB Ports are working, just 2-3 & the working ports sometime are randomly switching after a reboot. Bluetooth isn't working at all I guess these Issues are also related to the dtb file because I didn't find any entries for BT in the DTB. I also tried the other DTB file: rk3399-rock-4c-plus but I dont have any video output with it but there…

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 …

Hello. I use a Rock64 and installed the latest night build (https://dl.armbian.com/rock64/nightly/Armbian_5.42.180328_Rock64_Debian_stretch_dev_4.16.0-rc3.7z) and installed it to my SD card. After booting there was no "/dev/spidevX.X" file. I tried to enable the spidev module (modprobe spidev) and also tried to add it to /etc/rc.local but there was still no spidev device file. Is there a problem with the module? Do I have to enable something else?

Dear community, I just wanted to politely and respectfully ask whether somebody from the Orange Pi 5 or Orange Pi 5 Plus maintainer group wants to maintain the Orange Pi 5 Pro as well? It's using almost the same SoC, a Rockchip RK3588S. Right now, the device is on "community" maintenance, which is a bit sad since its brother/sister boards are on "standard". This means everyone who uses it has to use rolling release instead of being on a stable version. Being relatively close to the other two RK3588-based boards, I hope this can be done? But I don't want to sound like an ass for asking. I just wanted to use the two "Pro" I've bought for …

Hi, I am trying out Armbian 26.2.0-trunk.592 nightly (trixie) on a Radxa Rock PI 4b+ The community supported image boots fine and it is no problem to install Armbian on the on-board eMMC flash, but the installed NVMe SSD on PCIi is no recognised.

Hi all, is it ok to run apt update and apt upgrade on @pask M4 v2 image - just thinking something might alter the bootloader

Hi guys, I still have two 21.5-inch tablets here, on which I would like to install Armbian. The mainboard is a Sunchip AD-Z33 V1.1 with an RK3288 on board. The board has 2GB RAM and 8 GB flash memory. However, it also has an LVDS slot to which the touchdisplay is connected. Here you can see the equipment in detail: https://www.embeddedsystemboard.com/sale-11364924-rk3288-industrial-arm-board-multi-function-linux-os-i2c-interface-touch-screen.html Do you think that Armbian runs on it and that the functions are still available? Or maybe an RK3288 ArmbianTV box version could run on this as an alternative?

I have a rock 4b+ and I used it as an android box for a while. Then today I tried to flash it with latest armbian image (23.8.1) and it does not boot in microSD or when I flash it through USB OTG. I have erased the SPI flash completely and install the correct spi_loader. It also boots properly with Radxa debian image. Initially I though this is a boot issue, but after checking with a serial cable, it turns out this is a HDMI issue.. After I finish the usual procedure to setup password etc...

Hi, I have a USB device that periodically hangs. Reboot or re-plug helps, but I need something lighter. I've seen several discussions on the problem of resurrecting hanging USB devices, but their solutions seems devices specific. Non on them worked in my case. I tried ioctl with USBDEVFS_RESET among other methods. uhubctl didn't work too (it seems it only sees EHCI hub, while my device is USB3.0 and connected to XHCI). Ideally the solution should depower a single USB connector to let the device fully reset and then get it connected back.

I have a RockPi 4c plus v1.41 with the Armbian Community version Armbian_community_24.11.0-trunk.202_Rockpi-4cplus_bookworm_current_6.6.53_minimal. Everything is okay, till i attach a dougther board (https://z-wave.me/products/razberry-old/) to the Rockpi. Normaly it boots fine from SDcard, but after attaching the that dougther board it won't boot anymore. It seems to stuck in uboot. I have done some boot logs, but everything before line 110 is identical WithDB.txt WithoutDB.txt

Hi - First, thanks for building armbian, it's so useful! I'm a bit confused with the status of Rock 5A. I saw the link in the 5B section to download the 5A which directs me here https://mirror-us-phx1.armbian.airframes.io/dl/rock-5a/archive/ to a 23.8.3. But I can't find any other desktop version except the XFCE one. Now, if I go there https://k-space.ee.armbian.com/archive/rock-5a/archive/ I have a cinnamon desktop version but it's a 23.5. Is there no build for 23.8 + cinnamon or is this a mirror issue? Or is the Rock5A not yet officially supported and I should move my question?

Hey, Has anyone managed to capture image from this camera? `media-ctl -p` shows this device, that mentions the camera name: - entity 63: m00_b_imx415 3-001a (1 pad, 1 link) type V4L2 subdev subtype Sensor flags 0 device node name /dev/v4l-subdev2 pad0: Source [fmt:SGBRG10_1X10/3864x2192@10000/300000 field:none crop.bounds:(12,16)/3840x2160] -> "rockchip-csi2-dphy0":0 [ENABLED] But that's it.

(Don't know if this is the right place for this, but the Github-Issue link lead me to here, so... here it goes) Like the title states, the checksum of the downloaded Armbian 26.8.0 minimal image for the NanoPi NEO3 and the expected checksum for said image differ. I don't know if this is by accident, but I thought I'd report it before this goes unnoticed. I've tried downloading the image from the Armbian NEO3 page (https://armbian.com/boards/nanopineo3) as well as through the Armbian installer, both resulting in an image with a non-matching checksum (imager log: https://paste.armbian.com/mabojoqoja). - the SHA256-checksum of the image accordin…

Orange Pi 5 Ultra HDMI RX no video when connecting Walksnail VTX Ascent. When I connect Walksnail Ascent VRX, the picture is fine, but when I connect VTX Ascent to VRX, the system doesn't see the HDMI RX. Specifically, it sees the source but can't lock it. The settings are set to 1080p60. I've tried different kernel and OS builds, but the result remains the same. What are the ways to solve this problem at the software level, since I specifically chose the Orange Pi 5 Ultra because of its built-in HDMI IN.

Dear H64-Friends, I've got the Armbian Debian installed with Linux Kernel 5.10 and Open Media Vault (OMV). I just use the basic functions for backing up files, nothing extraordinary. I am wondering what's the best strategy to update the Helios64 system concerning stability and getting no errors for backing up files (automatic USB-Backups). Keep it always up to date if there's an update available in OMV? Or just wait some weeks?

I've been looking into streaming on the Orange Pi's, which doesn't work, so I thought I would share my findings. I was first told by customer service people that the problem was HDCP, but have found that it is actually the camera. The tech was kind enough to slip that the camera module doesn't have their hooks. I can still view in the browser, and this leaves me to the conclusion that TV boxes and Smart TVs are using the camera modules to record end users without their permission. If the system has the camera hooks, the app is allowed to play. The browser bypasses this, because it has permissions to access private information on our device…

To prevent APT from installing <other-device> kernels that will render an installation useless I did the following: To see which kernel is running: $ uname -r 6.11.2-current-rockchip-rk3588 To see which kernels are installed: $ dpkg --get-selections 'linux-image*' inux-image-current-rockchip-rk3588 install linux-image-edge-rockchip-rk3588 install Its clear to see that I need "rockchip-rk3588" kernels and not the other 1000+ so wonderfully provides. Now that I know which kernel is used and which are not, I will allow and block what I need: $ sudo nano /etc/apt/preferences.d/kernel The fi…

Just like other times i burned sdcard and inserted latest version of Armbian_24_11, changed armbianEnv.txt to 5b and installed to emmc using armbian-installer. At the end i updated bootloader and emmc disappeared. I tried most of images and last image that is not bricking is Armbian_24.5.3_Orangepi5_bookworm_vendor_6.1.43_minimal.img.xz (link). Unbrick: 1) Reinstall Orangepi OS using document in the link on emmc. After installation is compete emmc will be back. 2) Reinstall Armbian lower than 24_11. The one that i found in archive that worked is 24.5.3.

Hello, Each time I'm booting the Rock64, it starts on Jan, 21 of 2016 but the filesystem has a superblock on Jan,28 of 2018, so in the future. It's inconsistant and the filesystem is checking each time and I'm waiting a few seconds. How can I avoid this trouble ? Here is the screen shot of logs through the tty/usb console. I'm booting from the spi flash and a sd-card with Ubuntu 18.04.1.

Could anyone point me in a good direction if I wanted to start learning how to get the Rock 5B HDMI driver running for the 6.x kernel? I'm looking for where it's located in the Linux file structure, but also documents and possible support files / repositories from Rockchip. /Kenneth
