Hello, I need your expert help to resolve an issue on my newly purchased orange pi 5b. I was able to install armbian xfce desktop os on emmc but am unable to correctly run a purchased csi mipi camera module (OV13850). Attached are some screen grabs, I do see rk3588-ov13850-c1 appear in overlays row of armbianEnv.txt upon toggling the selection in the armbian-config. Cheese application shows message "There was an error playing video from the webcam" upon opening the application (i also installed flatpak cheese as per some comment in a forum to test). I also tested connecting camera on rk3588-ov13850-c3 but face the same issue. Is th…

Hello Armbian Team I have one banana pi r2 pro board(https://wiki.banana-pi.org/Banana_Pi_BPI-R2_Pro).

Does armbian for orange pi 5b provide headless wifi setup like raspberry pi? on raspberry pi, I can modify the sd card. like `touch ssh` and assign wifi login and password in the .conf to achieve headless wifi setup. I don't have a lan cable, monitor and keyborad to set up.

Hello all I have broken my installation when I tried to install the kernel 6.1 my current kernel 5.10.160-legacy-rk35xx. My nanopc t6 do not start. My installation is on EMMC and start on it. Could you please help me to recover it ? I have a backup file from OMV but I don't know how to push the backup to the EMMC? other possibility I guess copy the boot folder backup to EMMC boot folder but I do not know if it is enough. I really appreciate an help furthermore a clear turial could help evryone to recover an installation on EMMC memory. Thanks in advance for your support.

I apologize in advance if I wrote to the wrong branch. Dear community, a question about OrangePi 5B (board without SPI-flash!). There is only an eMMC on the device. The computer is successfully running on the OS from the Orangepi website, recorded both on the SD card (Baleno Ether) and with eMMC (MaskROM+RKdevtool). At the same time, I see the devices themselves and their partitions, SD card and/or eMMC. The Armbian OS for OrangePi 5/5B/5 Plus (CLI or GUI) written to the SD card loads and works, BUT disk commands DO NOT SEE eMMC, only SD card partitions. In Armbian-config, there is only the Insatall/Update bootloader on SD/eMMC item, which does not change anything. If …

Hello, I have this combinations which was probably a mistake, because I cannot get the camera running whatever I do. Was someone able to get it up or give me some advice, lead me a good direction? Thanks a lot.

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?

Since the specific USB hardware support is now in place, I thought it would be good to discuss pitfalls and remedies for transitioning to a modern kernel. I have now tested the 6.8.5 based Armbian. None of the latest packages (.408 - .411) come up with HDMI output. You have to have a serial console connected, and then correct the problems. 1) This is what you are greeted with: [ 6.828040] panthor fb000000.gpu: [drm] *ERROR* Failed to load firmware image 'mali_csffw.bin' To fix this do apt install armbian-firmware-full and reboot 2) The 8821cu driver has performance problems.

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, In a bid to solve an issue with my NAS (which I now think was a dying HDD) I foolishly decided to upgrade from buster to bullseye and now most, if not all, of the services are failing to start - including network-manager, sshd and fancontrol so I only have access via the USB serial console. By setting a static IP I have been able to get it network access at least. When I try to start any of the dead services it hangs for a minute or so, then kicks me back to the login and the terminal is corrupted so I need to reboot before I'm able to do anything meaningful. (I am able to start fancontrol by just running `fancontrol` at which point the fans stop going at 100%, s…

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

Just a reminder, if someone wants to fix it.

I have a Helios64 that I recently reinstalled/updated to the latest Armbain Jammy image after not updating for quite some time and finding some of the repos to be dead. Without the drives initialized the system seems like it will run for days, but with the drives initialized (ZFS), I will get the below error after a few hours of uptime (~8-10 hours). I have seen some threads saying to set the CPU clock to one speed to fix the issue and some people installing a newer kernel (via beta.armbian.com). If anyone has any thoughts on how I could try and make this more stable I would appreciate it. [477435.475903] rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU [477…

Are there any plans to make a version with the new Rockchip 6.1 kernel available for Orange Pi 5/5+? Joshua Riek seems to have had some success, he even got the Panfork drivers running. I run a headless server though so even without graphics it would be interesting but I use Debian.

my Helios64 Board is now so unstable -- it on its own isn't worth putting in more of my time... but the rest of the NAS system "seems" fine -- so is there anything I can replace the logic board with ?? are there any "working" boards to be purchased anywhere? I've looked all over and the board "seems" close to the tinkerboard but I don't think it is one. I believe that it was a custom build. anyone else just try to replace the board and move on?

When I reboot with kernel 6.8.4 (edge) installed by apt upgrade, I noticed my scripts that uses snapper for remove differential backups.

Hello everyone, I seem to have a problem with not knowing how to change the top usb3 port of my Rock pi 4+ to host mode from otg mode, I just got it and installed armbian on it and open media vault, only to notice that I couldn't connect anything to the top usb 3 port and have it show up in open media vault, the other ports work fine and looking at the internet seems to have found that the answer is that the port is in OTG mode and on the official website they do have a way to change it to host mode, but not in armbian and I'm not skilled enough in linux to find where the file I need to change is.

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,…

If so how'd ya do it!?!? My personal experience had been a rock solid device on the original official Debian Armbian image (Linux Kernel: 5.10), and OMV5. It never went down unless I manually rebooted, and I never needed any CPU governor changes, voltage changes or otherwise to keep it stable. Reading so much stuff about OMV5 being end of life made me pull the trigger on upgrade to OMV6 along with the kernel upgrade that OMV did automatically, at the time unaware of the state of Kobol and Armbian support. Now I get about 1-2 days on average before it KPs and I have to hit the reset button. Tried the CPU underclocking, performa…

Hello! I'm able to reproducibly get a kernel oops whenever I start a docker container on my Helios64 The SD card I was running my Helios64 from died and so I reinstalled Armbian using the steps to install bookworm from this post. I did skip the steps related to hs400 and L2 cache as I'm currently running the system from an SD card. After the install seemed to be working well I installed zfs, imported my existing pool, and then installed docker. My previous setup was using docker's ZFS storage driver so I got that configured as well. Now, whenever I start up a docker container (ie by running "sudo docker run hello-world") I get the foll…

I've got an OrangePi based on the Rockchip RK3399. The official OrangePi Debian version I'm using is Armbian-based I believe and uses a 5.10 kernel. I want to upgrade the kernel as later ones support some video features of the RK3399 I want to use. The problem is, if I build the kernel using the standard vanilla method from kernel.org sources even using the same config file from the running kernel without changing anything (make olddefconfig), the device won't boot when I symlink the new kernel to /boot/Image. Interestingly, it does boot if I symlink the new initrd to /boot/uInitrd, but only with the old kernel. Is there something special I need to do to the k…

Having successfuly built and installed an Armbian image I would like to configure the WiFi connection as part of the process.

When comparing network speeds on the orange pi 3b 8gb model using armbian (Jammy Gnome 6.8.2) and Opios (aarch64-xfce-opi3b-23.08.1-linux5.10.160), there seems to be an issue with uploads on armbian. Using iperf3 for testing, the results were as follows: For orange pi os (arch): From other device (server) to orange pi 3b (client): 112mb/s From orange pi 3b (server) to other device (client): 112mb/s For armbian: From other device (server) to orange pi 3b (client): 112mb/s From orange pi 3b (server) to other device (client): 42mb/s I would like to know the cause of this problem and how to solve it.

I have been using a Rock Pi 4C Plus (v1.2) with M.2 slot with Armbian for some time. I boot from eMMC, but have a 500GB NVME device Cannot recall the original version of firmware installed, but it was originally a Debian bullseye image and I re-installed when a bookworm image became available. I regularly use "apt update" followed by "apt upgrade" to keep the software up to date. After a recent update the system went into a boot loop. I attempted to recover by creating an SD card with the latest Armbian image. When trying to debug the issue I noticed that the NVME in the M.2 slot is no longer recognized. Reverting to previously available 23.11 image and the NVME …

Hello, I have been trying to switch to kernel 6.8 but images are not working properly. Screen does not show anything at all. 6.1 images can boot so users can proceed with installation. Failure has been observed for some time starting with earlier 6.8-rc versions. Has anyone tried any 6.6 build?

After shelving my Rock 64 I dusted it off and downloaded the latest desktop image with Ubuntu Focal. The latest OS has video artifacts that the older OS did not. I can only describe the issue as "scan lines," but they are random black bars that appear through out the entire screen (as if WiFi is interrupting the signal only there's no WiFi on the device). I would like to know the best way to bisect the issue as I'm fully capable of cloning the repo, building the image, loading the image and testing it out but if there are pointers to simplify the process I'd love to hear. Hoping to give back since this is a community supported board. Thanks.

Hi all! There's a dedicated RTC chip in Rock3A (HYM8563TS), but unfortunately it doesn't work right with the standard Armbian image. The chip is correctly identified, but the problem is with the RK809 PMIC, which also contains an RTC. During boot RK809 is labeled as rtc0, and HYM8563TS as rtc1, and by default kernel uses rtc0 for hwclock manipulations. Since RTC battery is connected to HYM8563TS, after power cycle RK809 is reset to 2017-08-05 09:00:00. | _ \ ___ ___| | __ |___ / / \ | |_) / _ \ / __| |/ / |_ \ / _ \ | _ < (_) | (__| < ___) / ___ \ |_| \_\___/ \___|_|\_\ |____/_/ \_\ Welcome to Armbian 23.11.1 Bookwo…

I have managed to install mainline u-boot on my 5B. i copied the 5It boots from both MMC and the SD. To boot from the sd, you have to interrupt the boot process and tell it to boot from MMC0. the default boot order is: mmc1 mmc0 nvme scsi usb pxe dhcp spi I've tried a number of things to correct the issue but none worked. In the aliases section of rk3588s-orangepi-5b.dts, I had to device sdchi as MMC0 (it really is MMC1). Not it boots like it should. Is there a better way to get u-boot to boot from SD card first?

Hi all, I'm trying to build a NAS using the Penta SATA Hat (https://wiki.radxa.com/Penta_SATA_HAT). I'd like to use ZFS as file system. I got the "supported" Armbian Jammy image from here: https://www.armbian.com/rockpi4/ I installed the kernel headers through armbian-config. However, attempting to install the zfs-dkms package gives me Building for 6.1.30-rockchip64 Module build for kernel 6.1.30-rockchip64 was skipped since the kernel headers for this kernel does not seem to be installed. As you can see, my kernel version is 6.1.30-rockchip64: $ uname -r 6.1.30-rockchip64 However, the installed kernel he…

I just buy the orange pi 3b powered by the Rockchip RK3566. Is there any plan to support this new SBC.

Hi there, I'm setting up microk8s cluster on: 2 x RockPi 4A (Linux 6.1.63-current-rockchip64) 2 x Rock 5 B (Linux 5.10.160-legacy-rk35xx) Installing microk8s and connecting cluster went without issue. My next step was to install https://microk8s.io/docs/addon-mayastor in order to create distributed volume between my nodes. The problem is that mayastor require linux-modules-extra which is not build for my kernel versions. I tried few different kernels but this module is not present there as well. My question is: Is there something what I can do? Is it possible to build this module for 6.1.63-current-r…

I first made a self-built image for nanopi-r2s and everything is fine. But another self-built image of Nanopi-R2S seems refuse to boot after enabling these configurations: `DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT`, then `DEBUG_INFO_BTF` and `MODULE_ALLOW_BTF_MISMATCH` But the LED on RJ45 blinks, and I can ping the IP that I get from my router DHCP, but SSH connection refused. So I guess it may have booted, but refuse SSH connection. I have no TTL serial connections yet, I'll check it and post the logs here some time later. Can anybody help? How can I enable ssh with? Is it possible to enable it at build stage? Thanks.

I was getting kernel panics and discovered that my 32 GB Rock 5B Blue Edition just crashes when I try to malloc 8-9 gigabtes of memory. Is there a way to specify that this board has 32 GB ram? 5.10 works fine.

Hello everyone, I have installed Armbian Bookworm 23.11.1 (kernel 5.10.110). The fan control does not work. The fan only runs at level 1. None of the many patches I tried worked.

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.

I tried the latest 6.8 kernel edge on my Rock 5A and noticed the CSI camera interface doesnt exist. Is there any plan or time schedule to fix that? I saw it's marked "TODO" on https://gitlab.collabora.com/hardware-enablement/rockchip-3588/notes-for-rockchip-3588/-/blob/main/mainline-status.md . So in 6.9 perhaps? (A LOT of other stuff works remarkably well though, great work!)

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…

Just wondering when an image will be available for the R5S - I have one here sitting waiting for it 🙂

Hello everyone. Please help me with the following problem. I have a Rock Pi 4b 1.4 (with SPI flash). I did the boot from the NVMe SSD using the image rkspi_loader-v20.11.2-trunk-v2.img according to the instructions. I installed Armbian 23.11 Jammy XFCE on NVMe SSD KingSpec NX 1TB. I’m using a power supply Baseus 65W GaN Pro (with PD). The system loads and works well. However, the system cannot reboot. When i click on reboot, the system starts to reboot and after the reset goes into a cyclic reboot. I need to turn off the power to reboot. What could be the problem and how to solve it? UART (Serial console) log: " " $&0 f@`B@@NF0f@`B@@NF 0f@`B@@NF@@@LN`b`N" " …

On a Rock 5B, I installed Armbian 23.11 Bookworm CLI via a SD card and now trying to setup boot via the NVMe drive. I followed the instructions on https://www.armbian.com/rock-5b/ to create a partition on the NVMe drive, format it, then tried `armbian-install` to boot from SPI. However armbian-install does not list the option to "Boot from SPI". It shows only the following options: 1 Boot from SD - system on SATA, USB, or NVMe 5 Install/Update the bootloader on SD/eMMC I then noticed I do not have a SPI device. /dev/mtdblock0 doesn't exist as well as "cat /proc/mtd" is empty. # ls /dev/mtd* ls: cannot access '/dev/mtd*': No such file …

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…

Hi, please provide me with link where can I download OS - armbian or ubuntu built for the board OrangePi 3B with RK3566 CPU. http://www.orangepi.org/…tml Thank you very much.

I have a project developed on Rock 4C+ v1.2 board. Now there is only v1.41 board available and Armbian is not booting on it at all, no matter it's compiled locally, or it's downloaded from the official sources. UART debug is producing unreadable sequence. So far, what I’ve tried: - I’ve built Armbian with the latest changes armbian build repo - hasn't helped - I’ve used rk3399-rock-4c-plus.dtb file instead of rk3399-rock-pi-4c-plus.dtb, dunno why there are two, but somewhere on the forum I read that this one without “pi” is the right one - hasn't helped - official Armbian images - not booting - Ubuntu and Debian - both booting fin…

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. …

Hello, i'm using the NanoPC-T4 with Armbian Bookworm (23.8.1 with Linux 6.1.63-current-media) Kernel and Mainsail/Klipper is running on in smooth and gently. Since i want to record timelapse videos, i've decided to buy the orginial "FriendlyELEC Cam1320 PI Camera Module" based on the OV13850.

I have a 5B and it came in a kit with the 10.1" touchscreen because I wanted to try to do a kiosk. I used Armbian Lunar rolling to get the OS installed on the emmc but I haven't been able to get the touchscreen working. It uses a breakout board to split the LCD2 connector into two connections on the display (I'm assuming one is touch and one is display) and when it's all plugged together, nothing happens. I've tried enabling and disabling both orangepi5lcd dtds and it doesn't help. When I do a dmesg (regardless of the screen being attached) I have Goodix i2c error for touchscreen@14 I've been doing Rockchip SBCs …

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…

Hello, As stated recently I had setup a Rock5B with Jammy/Mutimedia and had issues with a 2160P / 3840 x 2160 screen. Initially bootup would show a flickering screen. Adding the custom resolutions via cvt/xrandr and setting line in boot env: "exrtaargs-video=HDMI-A-1:3840x2160@60" fixed that issue However the initial login screen and logout screen resulted in a vibrant flickering background . This was on a Sceptre 50" TV and other perihperials would normally work fine. This took a while to figure out because I was confusing my active desktop provider and Gdm was being used: https://askubuntu.com/questions/91…

Hello guys! I bought https://aliexpress.ru/item/1005005675856892.html. As I know, there is no 3D acceleration in Debian Bookworm. So, my desigion is to install Armbian Jammy Gnome desktop. My questions are: 1) In what moment should I perform trick ? 2) Legacy is the only system I can install, or is it any way to install current system? I wish kernel v6 to be installed, but not the RC kernel. My experience with SMB is Rapberry Pi 3 B and 4 B. I used to install only Raspbian on that boards. Wish me luck guys :-))

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.
