Bigtreetech CB2 and Pi 2 released somewhat recently (April 20th). They use RK3566 and have a lot of nice features. The board and module are intended for 3d printer use but can be used just like any other pi. There is an official linux image on bigtreetech github, and it seems it's a slightly customized armbian. I propose copying that configuration and adding it as a supported board. This is a bit of a personal tangent, but I was also thinking of how I can submit the device tree files to the mainline linux kernel, would that be a good idea? I'm planning to use or at least try Alpine on the board and it would be nice to have the needed files in the linux package…

Hi all i tried to compile BTT CB2 with bookworm and vendor kernel to get MPP and NPU working, but got that : sha256sum: config/kernel/linux-rockchip64-vendor.config: No such file or directory is it missed ? How to compile vendor kernel for MPP support? thanks

Hi, I had some issues regarding WireGuard that are solved now. Since my armbian release already contains wireguard I have no need to install it. However I wanted to prevent any future mistake rendering my installation unbootable. So after some searching and experimenting I did the following: In order to block a package a file must be created in /etc/apt/preferences.d/ , in my case I called it wireguard $ sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/wireguard &>/dev/null <<EOF Package: wireguard Pin: release * Pin-Priority: -1 EOF This is what it looks like now when trying to install the package: $ sudo apt install wireguard Reading…

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.

Hi all, I'm trying to get Bluetooth working with the M4 ( installed it via armbian-config ) but on checking the status I see this

On an OrangePi-5b, `apt-get update` a few days ago updated the kernel, and now bluetooth no longer works. What's the proper way to downgrade the kernel to whatever I had before? (armbian-config shows way too many options)? Better yet, get it working again? bluetoothctl does not see the controller at all, and dmesg gives the following: $ dmesg|grep -i bluetoo [ 2.796188] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.22 [ 2.796203] NET: Registered PF_BLUETOOTH protocol family [ 2.796206] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized [ 2.796211] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized [ 2.796214] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized [ 2.796220] Blue…

Hey all. Running the Dec 9th build of Armbian 22.11.2 Debian Bullseye CLI, and I've been running in to issues with consistently remotely connecting to the board. While ssh and other direct connections (IP:Port for services like Nextcloud, etc) work for a bit after a recent reboot, after some unknown amount of uptime I'm unable to connect to the board through any new remote connections. Attempting an SSH session provides me the error ssh: connect to host 192.168.50.5 port 22: No route to host When connected via the serial console, I am able to verify that the board has internet access while it is refusing these remote connections on the local netwo…

Hello ! i'm trying to enable the SPI interface on a OrangePi4B board using Focal latest stable build, so I edit `/boot/armbianEnv.txt` to add these lines : overlays=spi-spidev param_spidev_spi_bus=0 But after rebooting, I'm unable to access to the board anymore (No IP address is assigned to the board by the DHCP server). What's wrong ? Is there any additionnal steps ? FYI, I also tried to enable SPI using armbian-config tool but it doesn't work neither. As this tool doesn't even specify the `param_spidev_spi_bus` parameters which is required according to the overlay README.

Hello, I recently bought a Rock 3A and trying to use Armbian, I am very newbie in this area. I tried few options available (22.08.2 Jammy & Sid) for Rock 3A from here but in all of them the boot fails and falls into endless initramfs Can you give me a hint what could be cause of this?

I solved this for myself and created an account so I could post it here. I saw a few posts going back years which said either this can't be done on an Orange Pi 5 or they had no replies. The problem: I wanted to boot my system from the EMMC but leave my large capacity SD card plugged in for extra storage. The script in armbian-config worked as expected. However, leaving the SD card inserted caused the board to continue to boot from it. Wiping the SD prevented the board from booting at all. I could eject the SD card, boot from the EMMC and then re-insert the SD card to use it as storage, but that's annoying. The solution: I noticed …

I have been looking around for a way to boot OrangePi5b from the eMMC drive while a blank for formatted SD Card is inserted for extra storage space. I dd wrote the debian server image to flash, booted and got no display, connected by ssh and it does recognized the eMMC storage. Download Armbian-legacy-bookworm image and dd'd that to the EMMC and it boots with a working display. Great, did a lot of work setting up Xorg with task-xfce4-desktop, xfce4-goodies, pulseaudio, firefox-esr, brave. gtkterm, tigervnc-viewer, remmina, wine32 for winbox, winbox and all working but was not able to find a way to boot with the SD card inserted. After checking many hints onlin…

Hi, I've booted the board from SD card with the latest image and I'm trying to configure the board to boot from MTD and use USB drive as a system drive. When running armbian-config (or armbian-install, or nand-sata-install), it fails with error "SPI u-boot image not found!". It looks like the bootloader package is missing the /usr/lib/linux-u-boot-current-rock64_23.02.2_arm64/rkspi_loader.img. Can I find it anywhere? Dmitry

When I boot any variant with kernel 6..x.x from SD there is no problem with hdmi. When I flash the same variant to the nvme, it boots fine but there is no hdmi output. The orange pi logo appears for a second, then nothing. I can ssh in and everthing works fine. Any variant with 5.x.x kernel works fine from the nvme, with hdmi output. What I don't understand is that if I have output to hdmi when booting from sd, why not from nvme. What I think is relevent entries in the boot log is below. mmu fe043e00.iommu: Enable stall request timed out, status: 0x00030b Jan 30 09:38:22 orangepi3b kernel: rk_iommu fe043e00.iommu: Enable stall reques…

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, download page for odroid M1 states: I have two questions: - Does that mean that the system will be installed on SD or eMMC? or does that meant booting on SD is just for startup to launch system stored on NVMe (or any other storage)? - Is there a plan for booting from M.2 NVMe M-Key PCIe3.0 2-Lane in the future? Thanks Julien

Is it possible to boot from USB-Stick instead of micro-sd-card? I have the apprehension that the micro-sd-card-slot could break if I use it to often. If it’s possible, how can I do this? Thanks, Jaques-Ludwig

With Armbian v20.11 one can write mainline u-boot image to board's SPI and enjoy booting nvme drives without any mmc devices.

Hello everyone, I somehow managed to brick my OrangePi 4 LTS. I had the Armbian running on it and decided to try the newest install in a minimal format so no desktop.

Hi, Not sure if anyone has seen the same as I have been seen on my box; the HDD status LEDs are cycling in brightness, from 0% to 100% and back to 0% continuously.

I have the Helios with two 10T disks mounted as a BTRFS raid 1 array. This setup is stable, although I have not stressed it a lot, except for when I do a btrfs scrub.

Since there is a thread about adding ZFS support to the U-Boot build, I thought I'd post a similar request for btrfs. I was looking through the helios u-boot repo a few days ago and noticed that it isn't built with btrfs support. While I could make a separate ext4 /boot partition, it would be convenient to have the entire eMMC formatted as btrfs. This allows for me to make easy and fast backups using btrfs send/receive, and also allows for snapshotting prior to upgrades (via e.g. snapper), and rolling back to a different snapshot at boot. My turris onmia router uses u-boot with btrfs native root, and I've used the snapshot rollback support a couple of times. They…

Last week I updated the Armbian on my NanoPi M4V2 to the latest version (Armbian 21.08.1 Buster with Linux 5.10.60-rockchip64) and started noticing some issues with my Zigbee2MQTT local install. With the help of the Zigbee2MQTT main developer, we managed to confirm that the issue was reproducible on 5.10.60, but everything was working fine on previous kernels like 5.4. Other users not on Armbian (Raspbian) also confirmed that they were experiencing this problem with the latest kernel but was working fine on previous versions. We realized a bug was introduced for the CH341 driver in 5.10.60, that seems to have been fixed now on 5.10.62. …

Hi all, I have been using a Rock64 with hostapd and a usb adapter that uses realtek drivers for a couple of months now. Recently, like a week or two, after what i believe was a kernel update i started getting random freezes in the board.

Today although, i left my laptop on for a couple hours, with tail -f on kernel.log, messages and syslog. Attached in the file called logs.txt is what i managed to obtain from a terminated ssh session to the board. Im running Linux NetMa…

The board boots into linux and the ethernet port and usb seem to work! so should i try to send up a pull request to the armbian GitHub to include this change, an if so How should i do this? otherwise someone else with experience is wecome to do it too! / Kenneth

Trying to build an image for a RockPi 4b. The build process runs all the way through until this. This happens on Ubuntu and Debian (both latest) and on both Cinnamon and XFCE (if that matters). I haven't touched any video settings! H

Hello: I am tyring to build the latest version of moonlight-qt (6.0.0). Up until now, I succeded by removing the disable-libdrm and disable-wayland to enable hardware acceleration and use H264, H265 and AV1 all of them through hardware acceleration. However, I get huge decoding times and they are even variable, ranging from 40ms to 300ms depending on what is going on in the streaming. The 4.3.1 version provided by @amazingfate works very good at 4ms decoding time but I would like to test the new AV1 encoder and features from the latest version. What steps should I follow to get it working correctly? Thank you in advance

If you want to build out-of-tree kernel modules, you will need: kernel headers (installed with apt) kernel sources in /usr/src (cloned from git) kernel config (from /proc/config.gz) some preparation of the sources (but you can avoid building it 😉) # Install kernel headers apt install -y linux-headers-legacy-rk35xx # Install kernel source cd /usr/src git clone https://github.com/armbian/linux-rockchip.git ln -nsf linux-rockchip linux-5.10.160-legacy-rk35xx cd linux-rockchip git checkout rk-5.10-rkr6 # Prepare kernel source zcat /proc/config.gz >.config yes | make olddefconfig make prepare modules_prepare cp /usr/src/linux-headers-$…

I have Rock-5b with 6.2.0 kernel uname -a Linux rock-5b 6.2.0-rc1-station-m3 #23.06 But it does not contain some modules for multimedia USB devices, such as si2157. How can I install the sources, import default config for Rock-5b and build & install custom kernel? It's OK to build it natively on Rock-5B

After 2+ years of hard work the fan of my M4V2 (in metal case with NVMe adapter) has stopped with specific burning smell. I ordered the same fan model (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003989901083.html), replaced it and there is no rotation at all. Fan has been controlled by bash script from here: Has anybody got the same story? How it has resolved? My suspicions are on NVMe adapter, through which fan is powered - some draft scheme can be found, showing 5V/12V convertor and P-MOS switch: https://wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/index.php/NVME_SSD_Adapter_for_M4 SBC in this case works well w/o fan (~45 degrees of Celsius) during winter, but …

It is my first RockPi 4 board and first Armbian install - board working OK with official Radxa image (Debian 9) and eMMC drive. Since my plan is to use just CLI I'm trying to install Armbian Buster images. Unforunately both "current" and "legacy" versions are not booting up. I have used SDFormatter (just in case) and Balena (as usual) on 16B Transcend Premim and 32GB SanDisk Ultra (A1) cards - same result: board is powered on but nothing happened at all. Only green diode is lighting but no signs from SD card (red diode is not showing up). eMMC card not connected in both cases. I have checked other topics (i.e. ROCK64) but can not find a good solution how to proceed -…

The buster image boots up, and has both Ethernet and Wifi devices enabled. But no IP packets leave or reach the board, trying both dhcp or static setup, on ipv4 and ipv6.

Hi, I need to use callback function in Python3 on my NanoPi M4 but I can't, so it is very nice if anyone can help me with this issue. So far I've tried the function with wiringpi as shown command bellow but this doesn't work at all, that generates some errors and after that my command in /usr/bin/ doesn't work .... I can use other functions in wirignpi so guess something is wrong with only this function... Is there any way to use callback function with NanoPi M4, for example using other modules or something Thank you,

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…

Hi all, I have motion installed and a FriendlyElec camera connected to my board, my problem is, the camera is not detected by motion - what do I need to do to configure the camera / motion ?

Thank you Armbian guys for providing and supporting a working 5.10 image for the Rock Pi 4C board. Has anyone been successful in configuring and using a matched CSI camera with a 5.x kernel for this board? If so, can you share the required conf steps here? Radxa's website (https://wiki.radxa.com/Rockpi4/MIPI_Camera) claims that their provided Debian image supports both RPi ov5647 and RPi imx219 based cameras so that confirms hardware compatibility but so far I haven't been able to capture images/video with neither on Armbian when attached to a Rock Pi 4C. $ ls -l /dev/video* crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 0 Apr 3 07:30 /dev/video0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, …

I'm a complete noob to compiling kernels and have been struggling (and failing) for the past week to get an RT kernel compiled using Armbian build and reading various threads in the forum. Is it even possible? If so, what config options need to be set to get the correct kernel version matching the available rt patches? Thanks!

I have a weird issue where I have everything working as I want it a few different services running in docker (Pi-Hole, Motioneye, Home Assistant, Emby) and all their individual management pages are accessible. However as soon as i move the install over to emmc, all networking seems to break, with services no longer working, but some admin pages report everything is fine. Pi-Hole for example shows as running but no devices accessing the dns cant load webpages and the pi-hole management pages stop showing any further queries received. ive repeated the process of doing a clean install to sd , everything fine. move to emmc stops working ☹️

When plugging in a RTL8153 gigabit ethernet adaptor, it shows up when using lsusb, however there is no driver found for it. I also went to the Realtek website and tried to compile the proper drivers for it, however, the Make process always fails. Do you have any suggestions as to how to get this to work? The adaptor says it is supported on the Armbian website. Thanks!

Nanopi Neo 3 is typically offered in 1GB or 2GB DDR4 RAM versions, but the RK3328 datasheet says the RK3328 can support up to 4GB If I were to source 2x 2GB of the supported types could I resolder to increase RAM?

I followed in detail the installation tutorial but I'm stuck at the installation of OMV. I can't access after the installation using the ip address or the generic link helios.local. I did try to reinstall the configuration. To go through a boot on the Micro SD... I don't know if there would be a command line to verify that OMV is installed? Or another way to install it?

Hi, I wanted to try this build so I cant test HW (using the legacy kernel). But, is impossible to make Rock64 boot correctly, having random kernel crashes, It does boot with the 5.10.x kernel version and work just fine, but I need the Legacy one so I can test HW. I can only attach a photo since there is nothing I can do since the OS is halt. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hello everyone. I can't flash Armbian to EMMC on the OrangePi 5B board. I made an SD card, booted, ran armbian-install, selected Boot from EMMC/System on EMMC, the recording process was successful, but after that the board stops booting at all. When I boot from the SD card again, I see that EMMC is not a device in the system. There is no main mmcblk0, no mmcblk0boot0, no mmcblk0boot1. I was able to get EMMC back only after re-flashing the standard Android firmware using RKDevTool via maskrom. When I flash Android to EMMC and then boot from the SD card with Armbian, /dev/mmcblk0, /dev/mmcblk0boot0 and /dev/mmcblk0boot1 are back in place. Accordingly…

Hey there, for quite a while I was using my Station P1 aka T-Firefly ROC-RK3399-PC-PLUS (with a nice case welded around) as crude NAS and wanted to do something new. However for unknown reason I cannot boot from microSD. I am used to that the Armbian boot loader should switch to microSD when detected so other OS can be used. Does not work though. It always starts booting from SPI which is fine in theory and then jumps to eMMC which boots fine. With SD inside it does the same. If I remove the eMMC module u-boot stucks to PXE which obviously fails and then drops to U-Boot shell. I played with that shell for a while including recovery…

Hi, I just downloaded the newest release of Armbian and flashed into the SD card, it boots up fine from the SD Card.

Hi guys, when I installed Armbian on my system, it gave me a different MAC address than the one physically assigned to my hardware. How can I restore the original MAC address of the hardware without having to manually set it?

Hi all, I have several NanopiM4 SBC's, some are Nanopim4 and others Nanopim4v2. I use the Nanopim4v2 image on all of them and it works beautifully. When I ssh into the boxes I see which doesn't look great on here but it's basically NPIM4V2, I would like to change it to NPIM4 for the non M4V2 boards - anyone know how this is generated ? I don't even know what to call it ! Splash screen ? Logo ? Hope this makes sense

Hi, i'm currently trying to disable the serial console on port 2 on my Rockchip based Rockpi 4B (based on rk3399). I already found the following forum thread, that describes in brief, that i basically have to recompile my own armbian image. But still I'm missing some information. I have read the docs in docs.armbian.com and watched the YouTube video on how to build an armbian image. So far, i was able to setup a VM for building an image on my workstation. I also had a successful compile run yesterday, that created some output in my output folder. Now, I'd like to apply a patch, that changes the serial debugging console during boot from port 2 to port 4. …

Hey guys, I heard that the USB3 port of the Rock64 outputs up to 950mA. I have this external HD (WD My Passport), one of those 2,5'' external HDDs that are powered solely by the USB3 port.

After mounting the thing, if I try to write and read, it just disconnects with a bunch of dmesg errors. It makes a little click sound after the spinning builds up. Looks like there's not enough energy (it works fine on my desktop). How can I check and monitor the voltage and current delivered by the USB3.0 on the Rock64? My power supply is …

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
