Having a problem with my board and screen. Recently purchased a couple of inexpensive touch screens that work dandy for pi and lepotato but the resolution on renegade is too high and text just looks like dust on a 7 inch monitor. I took a look at potato xorg driver.conf and there's a lot of modes listed, but on renegade I see: Section "Device" Identifier "NOGPU" Driver "fdev" Endsection And xrandr -- listmonitors output: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Monitors 1 0: +default 1600/423x900/238+0+0. I'm still learning things, but I know exactly how to brick it again 😃. I hope I…

Hello guys, you know that armbian has a problem that sometimes when the system boots, the ethernet interfaces fail. The led turns on indicating that it detected the interface but it is totally blocked. It does not work, no method of restarting the interface. The only solution is to restart the computer...

Dear maintainers, thank you very much for your fantastic job! I di know how difficult to support different Chinese dev. motherboards. But I would like to ask you for a help: I use TinkerBoard S Rel.2.0 with latest armbian available for the board. It works perfect with HDMI 7inch screen from BigTreeTech company (BTT). However, I would like to use it with BTT 4.3inch DSI Display, which is developed for Raspberry Pi. BTT provided a 43DPI driver guidance for Raspbian which is here: bigtreetech/TFT43-DIP: DPI Driver, but it might work for kernel > 4.5 or 5.x. Moreover, in your distro there is no config.txt but there is the armbianEnv.txt. So, it is obvious,…

I am encountering a problem with my Orangepi4 where I am unable to get the Bluetooth connection to work properly with my speaker. Specifically, after connecting the Bluetooth, there is no option in the audio output settings to use the Bluetooth speaker as the output device. I have tried installing Bluetooth support using armbian-config and have also attempted restarting both the Bluetooth service and the system, but none of these solutions have been successful. Here is the system log for reference: (link to the log: https://paste.armbian.com/esohoyezit) I would greatly appreciate any assistance or guidance on resolving this issue. Thank you.

Hello guys! 🙂 I used to configure latest Armbian @ Orange Pi 5 B in such particular way: https://dragonserw.ru/arm64:orangepi-5. The problem is: Gnome settings does not save.

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?

Sorry I'm not able to find the sub category for M4V2 so I chose R4S instead. But please keep in mind that this is a bug report for NanoPi M4V2. So my box has been running well for 5 years without any issue, through multiple system upgrade from armbian buster to trixie. However after I upgrade the kernel from 6.12.58 to 6.18.10 just a couple of days ago, the system started to have some weird behavior. The main symptom is that I'll lose the network connection from the box once it starts up, and it could happen after just a few minutes, or a couple of hours. I have to power cycle the box to get it back online as I don't have any peripherals, and soon I will lose …

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…

As per the title: Using the image Armbian_22.11.2_Rock-5b_bullseye_legacy_5.10.110 Formatting an nvme ssd partition as BTRFS and running the armbian-install utility, install using SPI to boot, targeting ththe btrfs partition, and selecting BTRFS in the prompt results in a failure to boot. Reformatting that same partition as EXT4 and rerunning armbian-install (and making no changes to the data loaded to /de/mtdblock0) targeting the EXT4 partition, and the device boots using the SPI loader.

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.

Hi, My PC doesn't recognize my tinkerboard S. Would this be a problem with my tinkerboard or my PC setup? The red led is on when I connect the power cable. A USB-C cable connects the tinkerboard to the PC. However, the PC gives no response when the USB-C cable is plugged in nor do I see anything under device manager indicating a COM port connection. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you.

Would anyone be able to help me out with instructions for installing armbian to the EMMC of my Rock Pi N10? I've had Ubuntu installed using the OTG tool and also Armbian running off an SD card, but as soon as I run armbian-install and reboot the device doesn't come back up. Not sure what I'm doing wrong or the correct steps to troubleshoot.

I'm trying to get wifi working with the new wifi chip on the official image 23.5 but it seems to be missing the dtb for the Orange Pi 5b. Does anyone mind posting that file?

I just switched my release to nightly but it still shows 23.02 Thanks Erik

Hello, I am new to this forum and struggling with some stuff on the Tinkerboard S R2.0. I use the CLI-version of Armbian Jammy of 23 october 2022. I have to activate several features.

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…

I am trying to get a RPi camera (imx219) working on a RockPI 4C. I have been piecing together DTS files from various places trying to make sense of it, and I noticed that the rkisp kernel module isn't compiled on the Rockchip64 kernels. Is there a reason for this or am I missing something? Looking at the kernel menuconfig, only one of its dependencies isn't compiled: `V4L_PLATFORM_DRIVERS=n`.

It's quite some time ago that I used my rockpi however today I wanted to restart my project again (some sensors with an A/D Board connected to SPI).

I connected my board MOSI = GPIO2_B2 (Pin 29), MISO = GPIO2_B1 (Pin 31), CS = GPIO2_B4 (Pin 33), Clock = GPIO2_B3 (Pin 7). The matter is that it sometimes works and the correct data is received but just once in a while.

Although it is edp or hdmi not both. I must unplug the edp to get the hdmi port to work. Which is really undesirable. If I remember, it can only enable 2 of its 3 hdmi ports at a time, so that is likely a simple DT c…

I have my RK3399-based device booting with my own working kernel and device tree. I want to erase the root partition and install Debian from one of the official ARM distros, but I'm not sure how to do this. Obviously, I can't just boot into the Debian installer like on an X86 machine. What I think I need is a root partition of a vanilla Debian install, because then I can just point U-boot to the root partition and Debian should boot (hopefully into an installer). What's the best way to proceed?

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.

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 guys, I need to be able to see the pins on my board. In the official distribution of Orange Pi, I was able to install the Xunlong WiringOP script. I know I can use /sys/class/gpio/ to define the pins and use them, but that's not what I want. I would like to be able to use something like the "gpio readall" command.

I've tried installing k3s on my OP5Pro and it did not work out because I was missing a couple of things on the kernel. I read the docs on building a new kernel. Did that and was able to get a working 6.1.75 kernel. Even though i got some errors when installing the generated packages. What I did not find in the documents is how I can work on a new kernel. Say 6.11. Has anyone done this? Can you help me out? Thanks! P.D. On a side note. I built this kernel in the OP it self and it was kinda slow. What image can I load in vmware under a macbook air m3 to compile and build faster?

On the 25.11.1 Noble release, using the 6.12 kernel, there is no package to install the linux-headers for installed kernel. Is there some place to get them so that it is possible to install a kernel module for the provided ubuntu-rockchip kernel?

Hello everyone, i was thinking about running a jellyfin server on the Rock64, is there any chance for hardware encoding? Thank you in advance Regards

First of all thanks to the people maintaining armbian for helios64. I recently upgraded (well I reinstalled) to trixie and everything mostly runs stable for me. However I have a problem with the 2.5GB adapter. It is connected to a 2.5GB switch and when for example running iperf3 I get proper results close to 2.5 GBit. So in general it seems to be running ok. I have a DLNA server (minidlna) running on that machine and when I stream from my TV (streaming via VLC from my laptop triggers the same problems) the network connection drops for a moment and works again after a few seconds (which you can guess is super annoying when watching something). I am not sure wha…

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

Hi, does anyone know how to get this working please? Thanks.

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

rk3588-pcie_bifurcation_2x2-uboot.patchrk3588-pcie_bifurcation_2x2.patch Attached are two patches I've prepared. One for uBoot (to correctly recognize split pcie3x4 to two independent controllers, pcie3x4 and pcie3x2), and one for DT of NanoPC T6. This basically allows you to use trimmed-down bifurcation adapter. The adapter in question must be trimmed down/cut to fit on the back of the board. Tested with 2x NVME, and 1xNVME and QCNFA765 wireless card. I'll post photos later once I'll disconnect the board again from my setup. BEWARE!!! If you'd plan to use more than one ath11k wireless card, you'd need QRTR patch. Since the SBL …

I've installed pluseaudio, mpg123 and attached pin 7, 8 with pin 2 to an external speakers(left using pin 7 and right using pin 8). However, when running mpg123 test.mp3, the file was played successfully but no audio was heard. Any means of debugging what could have gone wrong?

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…

The armbian edge image for the FriendlyElec CM3588-NAS is currently on kernel 6.17 but has no HDMI audio despite it having been added in 6.15 (I think). This is simply because it has not been enabled in the device tree for this board. You can enable it with this user overlay: /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { fragment@0 { target-path = "/hdmi0-sound"; __overlay__ { status = "okay"; }; }; fragment@1 { target-path = "/hdmi1-sound"; __overlay__ { status = "okay"; }; }; };

Hello, I flashed the latest KDE version to the SD card of my Orange Pi 3B using Armbian Imager, but for some reason the USB ports are not working at all. There's no power coming from the USB ports, and the keyboard backlight isn't working at all. What could be the reason? Can you help me? I've never experienced anything like this before.

Hello, I updated to Armbian 26.2.1 trixie installaed on emmc. If I poweroff the nas and power on again it does't work, but if I attach an usb cable to the console it works. I think the problem must be related to the u-boot part.

I installed tvheadend on Armbian 22.08 Jammy and Bullseye using the 5.15 kernel. Tvheadend runs fine for a while and then freezes and disconnects filling the log file with the following message: rock64 kernel : au0828: recv_control_msg() Failed receiving control message, error -71. At first I thought it was a problem with Jammy, but I still had the same problem on Bullseye. So I switched to the legacy kernel 4.4.213-rockchip64 and I do not have the problem. I am using a Rock64 Ver. 2 with usb dvb tuner for tvheadend and it is stable running Bullseye with kernel 4.4.213. I am not sure what changed between these kernel ve…

I’m using an Orange Pi 3B running Armbian Trixie Minimal as a headless SBC. It has been working fine for a couple of months, but after a recent reboot, it failed to connect to the network. After connecting an HDMI cable to troubleshoot, I realized the system is no longer auto logging in; it gets stuck at the login screen. Once I log in manually, I found that the wired network (Ethernet) isn't working at all, though wireless is functioning fine. I even tried flashing the latest image from the website, but the issues persist. To summarize, I have two main problems: - Wired connection (Ethernet) is not working. - The system no longer auto-logs in after bo…

Dear Community, This might only be with the NanoPI-r6c images, but the SHASUM contains a temporary path which you don't have an thus fails. Since we cannot change the SHASUM because then the ASC would fail, I have a temporary workaround: sed 's,/.*/,,' armbian.img.sha | sha256sum -c In a script you could either 1. CD into the directory of the image 2. Run the SHASUM there 3. Use $OLDPWD to return or correct the SHASUM inline: sha256sum /path/to/file | sed 's,/.*/,,' > armbian.img.sha Dantes

I have installed fresh Armbian IOT community image for Orangepi 5 Max on my Opi5Ultra. Generally works fine, but connected camera (OV13850) not properly works. Via gst-launch I got dark images. Only flashlight or lamp can see on image. In original Orangepi 5 Ultra OS image this issue can be fixed by disabling docker and containerd services and sockets. But Armbian system has not any docker or contanerd services. Can you help me fix this issue? I am going try other cameras - OV9281 and IMX415 and I not have overlays for it. Can somebody publish .dtbo files for those cameras?

Today I upgraded my Helios64, and after reboot it didn't come back. (Waited for 5 minutes or so) After connecting a serial cable (via the USB-C connector), and rebooting, I saw a normal bootloader log (as far as I can see), but no kernel log, just a repeated 'ERROR: rockchip_plat_sip_handler: unhandled SMC (0x82000003)'. I rebooted again, to create a bootlog file, and I saw the same. Then suddenly, after a minute or so, I saw network activity, and my Helios64 was back. Now I have 3 questions. 1) Why didn't it boot twice, and then succeeded? 2) Why is there no kernel bootlog? 3) What is an unhandled SMC? The log ended with …
