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 ?

I have completed a build for the turing-rk1 SBC with an aim toward getting a functioning graphical console, and possibly installing desktop packages later. I built an image without issue that picked up kernel 6.17.2. git commit: 09160da3b9c1231cf20837e8c857f7e605130449 main branch Command used: ./compile.sh RELEASE=trixie CARD=turing-rk1 BRANCH=edge Image created: Armbian-unofficial_25.11.0-trunk_Turing-rk1_trixie_edge_6.17.2.img When booted, I get an error from dmesg about VOP drivers and HDMI video does not turn on.

HI I just bought 2 neo3 and started with Armbian and the MAC address is the same. But using the official image is a different MAC address.How can I use Armbian so that neo3 has the correct unique MAC address? I use cmd xxd / sys / bus / nvmem / devices / rockchip-efuse0 / nvmem I get the same value.

I've been following this thread: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/nanopi-r6s-linux-6-3-arm-soc-updates/153072/14 downloaded the latest version. Decided to do some experimenting and found out that they use u-boot 2023.04. And after some experimenting I found out that it works with Armbian when I flash it to the internal storage. U-Boot 2017.09-armbian (Apr 25 2023 - 04:20:41 +0000) U-Boot SPL 2023.04-OpenWrt-r0-e283eb2 (Jun 12 2023 - 00:36:27 +0000) Whats the reason the armbian u-boot is so far behind ? (i know its WIP, just asking)

Hi, i'm trying to compile an u-boot for my Rock-PI 4B. I wanted to apply a userpatch, that disables the uart debug console in u-boot.

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 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.

Hi all, I have an Armbian installed on Orange PI 4B. I am trying to connect a flight controller to Orange PI 4B by using UART port. This board has a 40 pin header. I went to armbian-config, and enabled the UART1 and UART 4 which are available from armbian-config. I plug the UART port (to Pin 8 and pin 10) on the 40 pin header. Is that port UART 4? I am not sure. It does not work. I tried the debug port, but the Orange PI does not start up if something is plugged in to the debug UART port.

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.

I see that there is a lot of work ongoing on improving the UEFI boot support for Rock 5B and this is quite exciting. In my view this seem to be the ideal route for future SBC boards. However, I am yet to try it so I am still a novice in the area. How do you guys look at the future of UEFI vs U-boot for Linux on SBC’c in general and on the Rock 5B in particular? Will the UEFI version be as capable as a u-boot version or do you see limitations?

Hi, On an up-to-date Helios64, around 50% of boots are stuck at "Starting kernel ...". As device is having kernel panics every day, it reboots and then sometimes can't start, stuck on this. When will we have a stable device ? I can't understand selling devices which just can't run !

To try the new goodies I've tried to install Buster Legacy on my M4V2 but it always hung on [---] A start job is running for Bluetooth Rockpi (many minutes / no limit) https://redirect.armbian.com/region/EU/nanopim4v2/Buster_legacy_desktop I downloaded it multiple times and no change. I'll try the mainline image and then regress kernel to legacy.

First time user here. I got a Rock64 board and flashed Armbian_20.08.1_Rock64_focal_current_5.8.6_desktop.img using Etcher to an SD card. When I try to boot, nothing happens. If I examine the SD card on my Linux PC, there is only one partition on it and it appears to be a kernel image. I assumed that the .img file would have the U-Boot partition as well. Is there a different type of image file I should be using that would contain everything that I need to boot? If not, how do I create such an image?

To continue discussion from Helios64 Support Could you boot from micro SD card? Please use Armbian 20.08.10 image, version 20.08.13 known to have stability problem on many users. After setting up Armbian on the micro SD, reboot (to finish the setup) and login as root, you can check eMMC for filesystem error fsck -p /dev/mmcblk1p1 You can try to change the password of Armbian on the eMMC: Spoiler mkdir -p /mnt/emmc mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/emmc mount -o bind /proc /mnt/emmc/proc mount -o bind /sys /mnt/emmc/sys mount -o bind /dev /mnt/emmc/dev mount -o bind /dev/pts /mnt/emmc/dev/pts chroot /mnt/emmc/…

Hi, I'm trying to build for the Rock 3C so that I can minimize what goes into the kernel and system. I'm new at this and tried mostly default values (current, bookworm), except that I did minimal image instead of standard. The build failed at applying a patch. I don't know what to do with that. Can anyone help me diagnose? Also, how would I get into more details about building the image and choosing what to add/remove? Thanks!

Hi there, So I'm having a problem connecting the helios to the router. I try different lan cables and different ports. It was working everything fine yesterday, I did a reboot and no more connection. I'm completely new to this. I was installing home assistance and plex before this happened but I believe I didn't mess with anything to do with network. Don't know what I might have done. I can connect to helios via putty and after logging in the part where ip should be there is none. Any advise would be most appreciated. Again I'm completely new to this.

I have spent 7 hours now trying to connect to my Neo3 via my laptop using a USB to Ethernet Adapter. Ive also tried changing the nanopi microsd card image to see if it has any effect. from Ubuntu / Armbian / DietPi. When im powering on my Neo3, with ubuntu only the red led shows, with the other two, the Red LED shows plus the green LED flashes. Is this actually possible? Can I plug my Neo into my laptop with a ethernet usb adapter? or does it have to be into a router?

Just getting around to trying to setup my Helios 64 and I am unable to get it to appear under either Windows or OSX. I have removed the back panel and ensured the USB cable and micro SD are fully seated. Nothing appears so I can't flash the image to the internal eMMC. I tried MaskRom mode but RKDevTools fails. It does the following steps: Download Boot Start Download Boot Success Wait for Maskrom Start Wait for Maskrom Success Test Device Start Test Device Fail Not sure where to go now as I can't get anything to work on it. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

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?

Dear Armbian supporters, Using kernel 5.10.21-rockchip64 on Rock Pi 4 (and 5.10.21-sunxi on Lime2), I am not able to mount a LUKS-encrypted drive. Changing the kernel to 5.10.16-rockchip64/5.10.16-sunxi I am able to mount the LUKS-encrypted drive again. Error message when trying to mount the drive is: "No key available with this passphrase". Which change could have introduced this bug? Greetings a5s397

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. I have a Tinkerboard "regular" (without internal memory). My OS is Armbian 23.02.2 Lunar. I tried many times updating to Armbian 23.10 but system always brokes. Previously, I ever can update earlier versions without problems. I post in another topic this problem and finally, a forum member showed me that the problem was that there were no drivers for my internal storage in this version. So, my hope now lies in whether I can upgrade to Armbian 24.5.1. I also want to upgrade because the audio drivers haven't been working for a long time and I've tried a thousand things described in different forums. So, in short, how can I upgrade WITHOUT making a new i…

I was trying to avoid opening a new instability topic, but this one seems different enough from the others to deserve it's own discussion. A few days ago I applied the 1G fix (pic attached) to the 2.5G port - which was not in use until then, since all my hardware is 1G max. I did this with the intention of using both ports: the 1G port goes to an isolated VLAN that serves VM images to my Proxmox hosts, and the 2.5G interface (running at 1G speed) serves files to the rest of my network. While the fix appears to work and the port is able to communicate at 1G speeds seemingly fine, after changing to this setup I'm experiencing frequent drops in the USB bus, which c…

Hello, I have a Rock64 V2 which I am using as a Tvheadend server, among other stuff.

I have recently unhold the Linux packages and let apt to update them. Now at version 5.90, I see that the kernel module is still not included, and my USB device cannot be used.

Hi, i'm new to armbian and i hope to write in the right place I have a rock64 and deployed it as a remote server. Since it is in a shared place, to better protect my and my user's privacy i enabled Full Disk Encryption (CRYPTROOT_ENABLE). Now, back to the question: is usb otg enabled by default? Can someone with physical access use an otg cable to read files from the rock64? I would try it by myself but i don't have physical access to the board.

However, it seems that the usb_storage.quirks string is limited to 127 chars! dmesg shows: usb_storage.quirks: string doesn't fit in 127 chars I do not really see the point of limiting the string length to 127 chars..a bit more would be appreciated. Thanks

Has anybody got DAS mode working using USB-C ? Using: Armbian 20.08.21 Buster with Linux 5.8.17-rockchip64 I was not certain, I thought I read it was supported. I was hoping to use Windows 10 via USB 3.1 --> Helios64 USB-C to copy large video library. Note; using UART via COM3 is working as expected. Note; in windows I do remember seeing some USB error loading some USB driver; would it be related to some missing driver?int Any successful implementation of USB DAS interface; I would be happy to hear from you.

Hello, today i try a USB C to HDMI Adapter and i get some picture on tv but it´s really unreadable and my log is full of this: rockchip-vop ff8f0000.vop: [drm:vop_plane_atomic_update [rockchipdrm]] *ERROR* Maximum dst width (3840) exceeded it is possible to restrict the resolution in the terminal? i think this error ocure because to high resolution or wrong detection Thank you

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 serious problem as I mentioned in a title Currently I'm using Armbian on my NanoPi M4 and very satisfied its functionality But when I try to use usb3 device (especially camera from ZWO campany, ZWO ASI 178) with it, it doesn't recognize it as USB3 device but USB2 by checking the data transfer speed with "lsusb -t" Then, once I unplug the cable and plug it to the pi again, that device is recognized as USB3 and the data transfer speed becomes much higher. I need to get USB3's fast data transfer as soon as the board gets booted, without unplugging cables since now it's not that easy to access to the board and cable. I tried usb r…

Hi. I am trying to use bluetooth with my rock pis but I can't with armbian but debian. With debian I just followed this page and it works. https://wiki.radxa.com/RockpiS/Debian#Bluetooth But I want to work it in armbian. I turn bluetooth on in armbian-config. But "hciconfig" have no result and when I power on bluetooth, it say "No default controller available". So I searched and found it. Is it mean that I need to build a kernel to use bluetooth??

Today I decided to update my kernel to 6.3.9 with the mainline ubuntu kernel/ppa https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2020/08/mainline-install-latest-kernel-ubuntu-linux-mint/ However this does not work if you have disk-encryption . After rebooting and being greeted by enter your password, it did not work claiming its missing the dm_mod module. This is the device-mapper module needed by cryptsetup to create a device in /dev/mapper/ After running unmkinitramfs on the 6.3.9 kernel /usr/lib/modules/6.3.9/kernel/drivers/md/dm-mod.ko was indeed missing. Is this normal for mainline ubuntu kernels ? and does anyone know how…

Hi, First of all I am posting in Rockpro64 section because I am not seeing one for Rock64 What I need is like the title says: use OTG USB port as regular USB 2.0 port (so I can connect another device). Currently I need the 2 USB 2.0 ports (USB 3.0 is already being used with a external disk). Is this possible? OS version: Armbian 24.2.1 Jammy - Linux 6.6.16-current-rockchip64 Thanks in advance.

Hello, I need to develop a new camera driver. I've already done a big part, but now I've faced with issue: [ 92.374493] rkisp rkisp-vir0: link validation failed for 'rockchip-csi2-dphy0':1 -> 'rkisp-csi-subdev':0, error -32 I know, that basically right, as dhy0 has sink pad, and my subdev has only source pad. But I don't know how to change the sides, or avoid it to link in such order. I've already spent a lot of time on this and still no luck. Do you have any ideas on how to avoid it linking in such order?

Hi! I am trying the vanilla 5.15 kernel which has support for helios64. The system is booting, disks, MMC and network are working. But fancontrol fails. It seems the /sys entries have changed and the udev rules are not working. I've tried to understand the wiki page in order to adapt the udev rules and fancontrol config file but I am a little bit lost. Is there updated versions of those config files? Kind regards, Xavier Miller.

Hello, my nas is too noisy, do you know if it's possibile to change the fans with others that is silent? Regards.

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?

HI guys, one guy at my server realized some nvme testing and the write speed results are far below compared to radxa official benchmark that's probably based on legacy kernel. anyone had better benchmarks on write speeds without legacy kernel (so, mainline)

Hello, I got a nanopc-t6, when trying to install mdadm or another package that regenerates initramfs or installs a new kernel, I get an error that there is no space in /boot. Can it be increased and how? Regards,

Hello, I have installed a tinkerboard 2S and used it without problems for more than a year now. Today I started Armbian-upgrade to upgrade the system.I use a M2 WIFI card. What happens right after the reboot when the upgrade was done; the system boots normally, showing all information on the monitor, and about 5 seconds after the login prompt is displayed, it completely freezes. That is; the system doesn't react to keypresses on my USB keyboard, and SSH access isn't reacting. I can ping the device however and I know it is not dead as my .NET core application is running normally and I can access it externally! I use a wifi hotspot configuration; the wifi n…

Hello everyone, Do you think the emulation of ps2, gamecube, saturn etc video games works better on armbian or on android with a device on a rk3588 chip? thanks

Hey everyone, i bought a Rock 3A to get an alternative to Raspberri pi. The armbian was the system which is closest to the raspberrian and i'm glad that it works so well. But Videos 720p, 1080p mp4 play horrible bad. When i use the included videoplayer or install vlc and start a video it is laggy and slow and not useable. Is there any additional driver i have to install? Do i have to choose a different encoder? Or is the Rock 3A not capeable of playing Videos? Thank you and best regards.

Hi, I tried the new Bullseye image from https://www.armbian.com/station-m1/ to check bluetooth support but nothing is displayed on the screen at boot. No video signal come from the Station M1. The TF card used works with other images. Any hints ? Chris

Hello, When it's planned the support of wakeonlan? I want to keep my nas powered off, and power it trough a raspberry pi when I need It. Do you think is planned on the next days or in the next mounths? Thanks

Hello There! I'm currently using a Rock 4SE, tagged it as 4B because armbian says I should use the version for the board. I'm using a manually built image of armbian, though without any changes. I'm currently trying to figure out how to get faster boot times on SDDMC. So far: 1 - I've disabled some systemd services. Bluetooth related services have made a big difference. 2 - I've tried to disable USB and network support on U-Boot, though unsuccessful, in order to make U-Boot spend less time before booting the kernel. By applying some patches to U-Boot I got to the point where it either compiles and doesn't start the system because of some …

Hi, Just received my Nanopi R5C. Flashed the Debian 12 (Bookworm) Minimal/IOT images with Armbian Linux v6.12 from here https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-r5c/. Everything works well except that I could not get the WAN port working. Anyone has any idea? BTW, the Nanopi R5C looks different from the image showed on https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-r5c/. Mine has only 2 x 2.5Gb ports instead of the 3 port. The image on the page looks like a NanoPi R5S... Just a side note. Cheers.

Hi Guys ! I bought a new WD Blue 3D NAND SSD (1TB). It is not detected by the USB 3.0 port but by the USB 2.0 port (tested with lsblk). What can I do to be recognized on the fast 3.0 port? I am using Armbian_5.73.190128_Rockpi-4b_Debian_stretch_dev_4.20.0 Best thanks in advance ... !

What gives with the Armbian website links? Links to all previous versions Armbian for the OrangePi R1 Plus LTS have been removed. The links to SHA hash and PGP signature do nothing. I was hoping to use an image that was based on Debian Bullseye, but that link has been recently removed. It is possible to create my image, but I would spend my time working on my code, not wading through the options to create an image.

My Helios64 is "far away" and I am afraid to change network configuration, because if I miss something I could lose connectivity to the box. I would like to attach COM-to-IP adapter so that I always had serial console available, but... what actually do I need? "Normal" com-to-ip adapter provides COM port. Helios64 has COM-in-USB. So...? How to convert Helios'es serial console to anything accessible via LAN?

Title pretty much summs it up! I had a few problems getting my RockPi 4 to boot anything from SSD, but I did mangage too by compiling the current buster branch as a minimal image.

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

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 been trying to compile some packages that do work on the x86 platform and versions of Ubuntu and Debian but it seems like this define is missing so the program in question cannot compile a specific syscall in the file. Is SYS_getdents defined in the standard location unistd.h? I looked at the header but had some difficulties working through some of the defines. Thanks, Carter.

Hi, I'm looking for the headless version of stretch and xenial for the rock 64. I only see the gui versions of strtech and xenial on the website. I got a special download from Igor a couple days ago but it has some strange issues so I was hoping to find a release version to try. Thanks! Mark

For the "recovery", press the recovery button, and then press the power button, and the LED System don't light up. What can we do, format the system, and reinstall OMV with all parameters... Not really serious, ins't it ? Thank you for any help. Regard.

Hi, at first thank your for your great work! I've successfully created an wifi hotspot on nanopiM4 using "Armbian_5.95_Nanopim4_Debian_buster_default_4.4.190" with armbian-config utitlity. After the tool is finished I can connect to the hotspot and it shares the internet connection.. However - when I reboot the system the hotspot still works and I can connect but I have no connection to the internet anymore. The nonopi itself has connection to internet, I checked that. Do you have any sugestions? Thank you in andvance! Christian

Hi. I was testing pwm with a motor, then my rock pis stopped. After boot, I couldn't see wlan0 in nmtui-connect. So I reinstall fresh armbian, I can see wlan0 again.
