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…

Hi, I would like to enable 4K output for my new monitor connected to a NanoPi M4V2 running Armbian based on Ubuntu Bionic legacy. I have searched for some days now, but could not find a solution. I would be very glad, if someone could just point me to the right direction on how to configure the Armbian desktop environment for 4K.

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…

I'm building a portable battery powered NAS because syncing and having everything multiple times on all my Android devices sucks. I took my old Banana Pi connected a SSD to the SATA port and made it a access point (no Samba yet installed). Booting from the 16GB SanDisk Ultra A1 is 27 seconds. Moving everything to the SSD in armbian config is also 27 seconds (no difference?) I know the Banana has not the fastest SATA and NIC and that USB 3 on the Rock64 is faster. But i don't copy tons of gigabyte to the device everyday and for streaming over the WiFi stick it's fast enough. I'm interested on the boot time of the Rock64 (e…

Hi all, has anyone managed to get wifi working on the Buster image for M4 v 1 ?

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

People, help install the system on eMMC Rock Pi 4 Bv 1.3. Installed the system "Arabian_20. 05.4_Rocky-4b_focal_current_5. 4. 46_desktop" on SD, installed eMMC on the Board, started the system and updated it. Then I tried two options for transferring the system to emc: 1) (https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/) sudo nano-sata-install - dd if= / dev/zero of= / dev/mmcblk2 bs=1024 seek=8 count=1; 2) armbian-config - boot from SD, system on SATA / USB. But both options failed. I read here two branches with a discussion of this problem, but I did not succeed. But this is because I am not a very experienced Linux user. Please give me a n…

The binaries supplied with the ArmBian release for the Rock Pi 4 work great. However, when I try to build my own from Mainline sources, I see lots of booting issues. Do you use Rockchip provided binaries, or are they built from scratch? Any help would be gratefully received.

From my understanding, You'd need the vendor rk3588 kernel if you want the best possible compatibility with things like the VPU for multimedia acceleration (Someone please correct me if this is not the case lol) What follows is w…

Hi folks, long time lurker here. My helios64 is pretty much brand new, didn’t really needed it at that time, only bought it as I found it really cool. I may power it a couple of times per year for some backups (got 3x 6tb in it, no raid so I can take them out when needed, also back up stuff to external drives), it still starts-up from the initial sd card as I never finished setting it up. I also have a 1 bay separate NAS for downloading movies that if fails, I will just replace; and a drive attached directly to my router for easy file swaps; so don’t need much running 24x7. While I work in IT (on the Windows side, so the Armbian stuff is still a le…

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…

I notice the Helio64 hardware supports WOL, but I can't see anything in the Wiki about it (only Helios4) The Helio64 can draw some power with 5 spinning disks, I would love to have it sleep until needed.

I can see Autoshutdown plugin for OMV, but there is options for: Shutdown Hibernate Suspend Hybrid Sleep Suspend then Hibernate Does Helios64 support all these methods? Then once the unit is in some form of shutdown or sleep state, how can I make use to WOL to wake it up? Thanks.

Hi Armbians :) Armbian's discontinued support of the NanoPi Neo3 board, hit me very hard. I have operated multiple of these SBCs with Armbian very stable, in different DCs for a long time. Because of the defunctional kernel under Armbian, I was forced to look around for alternatives and only came across Manjaro, DietPi and Friendlyarm published by FriendlyElec themself. Unfortunately I was not happy with Manjaro and Friendlyarm. Dietpi, on the other hand, seems to be doing quite well till now. And most importantly, it doesn't seem to have the kernel/ reboot problem that affected Armbian. But how can that be if it's based on Armbi…

I'm working on enabling secure boot on Orange Pi 4B. So far I was able to burn eFuses, sign rk loader, a trust image, and a uboot image. To extend secure boot chain to the Linux Kernel, I've enabled FIT_SIGNATURE in u-boot, and manually built FIT image (Linux Kernel, initramfs(initrd), and a kernel DTB). Now I want to add FIT image creation to the Armbian build system. What is the correct place/script to do it?

Hi, Is it possible to boot from SSD? How it should be partitioned? Can I use any arbitrary partition for rootfs? Should I follow the procedure from this thread ? It assumes I should write the armbian image to a whole drive instead of partition, right? Well, I actually tried some way... First, I've tried to just run some utility from ambian-config that transfers rootfs to a partition. Device did not boot after this (with SD card ejected). Then I've flashed the ayufan's u-boot-flash-spi-rock64.img.xz. This also fails (boot log is attached) but the log looks promising. BTW, I'm experimenting with Ubuntu 18.04 image built by myself …

To continue discussion from Helios64 Support Currently there is no plan to support to disable the power but it's interesting to know such use case. If we implemented this feature, you would need to go u-boot prompt to enable and disable the power. would this acceptable for you? Under Linux device tree, the power rail declared as regulator node with regulator-always-on property. This prevent kernel (and user) to turn off the regulator. Unless we are able to create device node for the SATA port, to act as consumer of the regulator, we can't remove the regulator-always-on property.

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 …

Had anyone tested DAS mode performance with Capture One? Or could someone explain to me how it works? Also, would C1 show the DAS mode and NAS mode as seperate volumes or is it smart enough to show up as the same one? Background: Capture One doesn't work well with network drives. Editing images, moving raw files, even saving catalog backups is dramatically slower on a NAS than a DAS or internal drive. It doesn't matter how fast the drive or network is. Its a long standing bug they're always quick to say they aren't prioritizing fixing. I've looked at other NAS's that do a DAS mode by running a 10GBE connection over thunderbolt and that's a great solution in ev…

Inside of dmesg: [ 20.098662] panfrost fde60000.gpu: clock rate = 594000000 [ 20.098685] panfrost fde60000.gpu: bus_clock rate = 500000000 [ 20.098820] panfrost fde60000.gpu: Looking up mali-supply from device tree [ 20.099041] panfrost fde60000.gpu: _of_add_opp_table_v2: no supported OPPs [ 20.099287] panfrost fde60000.gpu: devfreq init failed -2 [ 20.09930…

I followed all online guides. I tried to flsh the SPI. I arrived to the point where the maskroom is well recognized by the computer (Linuxmint). After that I tried to flash it and the error code is that the write operation is impossible. Please do you have any suggestions? Thanks.

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…

Yesterday, Oct 20th, I installed armbian version "Minimal/IOT images with Armbian Linux v6.1" to the Orange PI 5 PRO and updated kernel using armbian-config to kernel 6.18 RC1(2 options were available 6.12 and 6.18 R1, note 6.12 did not work). Armbian works fine including vulkan support(I tested with swith emulator) with this kernel(6.18 rc1), but today option to update to any kernel is not available anymore. I'm getting warning "No other kernels available!" System is pretty stable with this version. stas@orangepi5pro:~$ uname -r 6.18.0-rc1-edge-rockchip64 stas@orangepi5pro:~$ vulkaninfo --summary ========== VULKANINFO ========== …

Hi there, as the Chinese market is missing "in stock" OPi4 (not B), RockPi 4B (for more than a month) I am looking for alternative. Found "Asus Tinker Board 2", same RK3399, 4GB RAM, 4xUSB3 as plus (OPi4 has 2x3.0 + 2x2.0, AFAIK). https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/1005002304966362.html Is it compatible with Armbian or have I to wait until OPi4 / Rock Pi 4B will be available? (as it is not listed in subforum header). Laurent.

As the title states - I've been away for a while and can't remember where I should post 🙄

hello, i was trying to set up a 2 pin fan on my orangepi 5b and i connected it to pin 25 and 26 (GND and PWM1). When i first started this task, the output from gpio readall would show me all 26 pins on the board. As i was digging through some forums to try and get the PWM pin to operate as on/off, i came across wiringOP and when i installed it, the output of `gpio readall` changed to only show 8pins. I am unsure of what went wrong and why it only shows 8 pins. I tried removing wiringOP and it still has not made a difference. Thanks

So I noticed my NanoPC-T4's will not boot an image made with the latest armbian build script.

If anyone in the US is looking for a Helios64 but don't want to wait for the next batch, I'm prolly selling mine. I ended up using an older windows desktop to build a server; took all of an hour to set up. I wanted to use this because it uses a lot less power and I wanted the computer for another project, but I don't have the time to screw with it trying to get it to actually function. If no one wants it, I'm just going to strip the case down as a HDD enclosure and cut my losses.

Hi all, unfortunately the USB power port on my Nanopi has broken off and I can't see a way to reattach it - it looks like it's just a push fit onto the board on 4 little tabs no solder involved no wonder it eventually fell off. I've heard that it's possible to power the Nano via the GPIO pins - anyone here done that ? I'm thinking I could make a cable to connect to the pins

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?

Anyone got the dedicated Fan header working correctly? It won't spin at all. Enabled the fanctrl overlay. changed pwm rate,the fan won't budge.. Tried stress the CPU but this only cause shutdown

I just purchased a 4GB Rock64. I've tried both the Ubuntu (Armbian Bionic Desktop 4.4.y) and Debian (Armbian Stretch Desktop 4.4.y) distros. I'm finding that the Debian distro is very sluggish compared to the Ubuntu distro. The desktop is sluggish in responding to mouse clicks and in Chromium, a basic web page takes about 3 seconds to display compared to about 1 second with Ubuntu. Is this the same performance difference that other people are finding with these distros on the Rock64? Is there some configuration tweak I need to make to improve Debian performance? Is there another distro that I should check out that would give me better performance?

When can I expect a final Armbian image for the Nanopi M4 ? I'm eagerly awaiting it and many others will surely be too The image of friendlyarm is simply an imposition You have the feeling of being on the road with the handbrake on.

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?

I am trying to setup Raxda Display 8 HD with Radxa ROCK 3A. On official Radxa OS, I used Rsetup tool to setup overlay for `Radxa Display 8 HD' using official guide.

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.

Hello, I installed Armbian 22.05.3 Jammy on a Rock Pi 4A+. Unfortunately 3 out of 4 USB ports do not work; only the USB 3.0 OTG port works. I tried using the Debian Buster download from Radxa, and all four ports work. Any suggestion on how to fix this with Armbian?

We are evaluating many boards for Industrial purpose, often fails to pick the right one, form Raspberry PI to other boards, including Tinkerboard. We aim to bring the cost of the SBC to 60 to 100 USD, mainly used for Industrial, within 0-70 Deg C. In fact, I have posted similar questions to find out answers, including Rock64, Olimex etc. Olimex seems to be supporting Industrial temperature, but their A64 seems to have less USB ports. Many SBCs vendor advertise their board for Education, Hobby purpose, I see Nano PC boards, they advertise for robotics, Industrial purpose http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_M4 with WIKI stating worki…

Hello, Is there a way (maybe using sysfs) in Linux to manage the brightness of the LED in the front of the NAS ? I found no information about this in the wiki: https://wiki.kobol.io/helios64/led/ or https://wiki.kobol.io/helios64/front-panel/ Thanks.

I finally assembled my Helios 64 today. Went well, just took a while. I'm reading the Kobol Wiki page for installing the OS on the internal EMMC and am a bit confused. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I usually boot a SBC the first time from an SD card to do some testing. Then I'll use Armbian config to install the OS onto the EMMC when I am ready. The Kobol Wiki talks about first installing uboot from an SD card. Is that actually needed? Also, do I really need to set up a serial terminal session? I usually just SSH into the box (I know find the IP address via my DHCP server) and configure everything from there.

I planned to upgrade and skip current 5.18 (EOL) with edge 5.19 or just use LTS 5.15. Offcial images 5.19/edge (e.g. Armbian_22.08.1_Nanopct4_sid_edge_5.19.5.img.xz) won't boot at all, maybe a short uboot screen. Using uboot v22.04 like other rk3399 boards did not fix it. SInce the nanopct4.conf is boardfamily=media but also works with rockchip64 (which was changed some time ago), building with boardfamily=rockchip64 current 5.15 or edge 5.19 works fine, the cli builds boot as expected. Maybe a general question, which bordfamily fits now best to nanopct4. I remember exactly problems which were fixed bei 150balbes maintainer when pul…

I have an AD-Z33 V1.2 which has the same rockchip as the xt-q8l-v10 but I cannot get it to start in Maskrom mode for eemc/bootloader flashing. Can anyone shed some light on how I can do this?

Hi there!!! LTNS. Not pretending to ask for a solution. Just curious, what am I doing wrong, after a decade with Armbian. ;) A new Chinese board with RK3567, quite similar to kickPi. Boots up to "INFO: BL31: Initializing BL32" then hangs. Changing DTB in armbianEnv.txt does nothing, same is for verbosity. I guess there's some pre-DTB in uboot, as I recall, this is common with RK chips. And it seems to not match my hardware. Any reasonable way to fix, before i rebuild the whole image? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I was able to overclock the CPU to 1.488Ghz by editing rk3328-rock64.dtb file. But I can not figure out how to set the RAM-clock-speed. Is there any chance to ramp up the RAM clock?

Hi all, just fitted one of these Nanopi M4 SATA Hat and can't see how I can connect 4 drives as there is only one Molex connector - I'm probably being dumb - any help appreciated

@prahal There are two versions of the bootloader in the repository (edge and current). I just tried the current u-boot from the repository. It works but dmesg outputs seven of the following messages: [ 9.674633] rockchip-i2s ff8a0000.i2s: Could not register PCM This note mentions that such error messages could mean that DMA and sound are missing in the linux kernel, could this be ignored ? P.S.: Those messages are not thrown if the recommended bootloader (linux-u-boot-edge-helios64_22.02.1_arm64) is flashed to emmc.

Hi, I'm trying to build a zynthian synthesizer on a nanoPi m4v2. The principle is to start from a minimal buster image and run a bunch of compilation scripts (see here on github) to create all the needed software. But all that stuff is for Raspberry Pi.

Hi there, I love my Helios64 to death. I'm running MooseFS CE and MooseFS PRO. The problem is I'm absolutely hammering it with I/O and it's consistently hard crashing, and no fix I've tried helps. Should I revert to the older kernel version or something? Or is this a useful test case...
