Hello, The last image for orange pi 5 with kernel 6.7 doesn't contain the overlay rk3588s-orangepi-5b.dtb on /boot/dtb/rockchip. So there is no way to mount the emmc on the orange pi 5B Is it possible to download the binary overlay separatelly? Thank you.

Hi All, since i had many problem with my old OPI R1 (without PLUS) I just ordered the newer Model with 1 Gig Ram, RK3328 CPU and two Gigabit Ports. There Is a debian Image available on their Google Drive Share right now, I'll certainly try that out, but Is there a generic Armbian Image as well, I can take? Should be pretty straigt forward Device, I tink.... HDMI Out is not available, only USB Gigabit Ethernet and Rockchip Gigabit Ethernet. Would be great if Hardware encryption for IPSec is also availaibe. Any thoughts? Cheers Ford Prefect

I thought I'd rebuild the NAS with the latest image in the hope that it would be more stable. Unfortunately my hopes were in vain. I was in the middle of doing an rsync and it crashed with a kernel panic. Had a look on the forum and implemented the two suggestions of limiting the cpu to 1200MHz and tweaking the voltages. CPU @ 50c as reported in the login header. Anyway after updating the setting I reboot it and it crashed immediately ! The same SMP issue that seems to have been plaguing this board since release

Hi All, My helios64 died the other day - well failing to boot. It had been solid for quite some time, then I might have made the mistake of updating it....

Posting here following what was recommended on twitter. After updating my helios64 earlier this week and rebooting to get the new kernel, I realized it was suspiciously silent. A quick check to sensor temps readings and physical check made me realize the fan were not spinning. After a quick read on the wiki, I checked fancontrol which was indeed failing: root@helios64:~ # systemctl status fancontrol.service ● fancontrol.service - fan speed regulator Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/fancontrol.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Drop-In: /etc/systemd/system/fancontrol.service.d └─pid.conf Active: failed (Result:…

Hello People. First of all, thank you to all the people that puts work and time into this project. It's my first time posting here. I've been trying to solve this problem by myself since this board it's unsupported now, but I had no luck. The thing it's, I can't get the linux to recognize properly the PlutoSDR, I get this errors in dmesg.

Hi Guys, I bought a new Rock64 and try to connect a CC1101 FM Transmitter (CC1101 wiring with the Raspberry Pi) which communicates over spi with the Rock64. How can I activate spidev on the Rock64?

I have a ROCK64 4GB Rev. 2. When I flash armbian to a SD card the board will boot fine and I can do basically anything for example apt-get update / upgrade. The board runs fine and stable for several hours. But as soon as I reboot the board, the board will stop booting. There is no HDMI output and no ping response. Even after disconnecting power for several hours. Right now there is no way for me to get it to boot again except for flashing the fresh image to the SD-card. I‘ve tried several SD-cards. I am using the original 5 V 3 A PSU. There is nothing connected to the board except for ethernet and power. Anyone got an …

Hello i made a mistake when i was selecting an other kernel via armbian-config. I was powering off the board after the kernel change (which normally worked fine when i switched between dev and current) and this time something wrong happened i dont know what exactly but the VMLinuz and uinitram is missing in boot. How can i chroot my Armbian system so re-run armbian-config and install the kernel properly? I tried several other things,,.. copying the boot folder from a working install of armbian but i dont really know which kernel he wants. The easiest thing might be chrooting... but i dont know how to chroot my emmc. I plugged it into the emmc adap…

Hello Folks, good day. I have a project where I need to use a OrangePi 4B and couple of hardware pieces connected to it. I'm having trouble putting together a Linux image where I have, at least the minimum functions required for the project working. I need an image where these items below are enable/working: - SPI - I2C - GPIO - PWM - 10.1 MIPI DSI LCD + TOUCH (available here) - MIPI CSI Webcam (OV13850) - 3D Acceleration (WebGL / OpenGl) using the Mali t860 - Bluetooth - Wifi Ideally, I would like to use the most recent Focal mainline kernel, but a legacy image will also be fine. I've b…

Hello, So is anyone aware of a way (like a text file)to populate with values etc to bypass the need to be interactive during first boot? Since this device is displayless and I hate to pop the case every time to hookup the console cable when setting up a half dozen devices. I imagine I could alter the first boot script, but was just wondering if there was another way. Thanks! Richard

Hi I'm trying to use Armbian with Orange pi 5 Ultra. So far so good The hdmirx is working great! I'm not able to control my gpio pins with PWM in equivalent to orange pi 5 ultra image. I guess that i need to load additional overlays, Am I correct? Please review the armbian logs here: https://paste.next.armbian.com/nekodihico I also noticed that pin numbers were changed if I compare it to the Orange pi OS. Thanks in advance!

I have the latest revision of the armsom sige 5. This board has an updated Wi-Fi chip set. It was changed from RTL wireless to a Broadcom chip connecting to the rk3576 with SDIO 3.0. I grabbed the latest Armbian image and it appears in the device tree It is still referencing the RTL Wi-Fi device. has anyone encountered this and found a solution? Or has gotten Wi-Fi working? I’ve attached the device tree. sige5.dts

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.

Hey fellow tinkerers, I'm pretty happy with my Rock64 boards so far, however, when I recently upgraded the kernel on the oldest one and rebooted, I couldn't ssh back in. So I hooked it up to a monitor and was blown away from all the error-like text that kept flowing on my screen. Since I have if this is logged anywhere (I looked but couldn't find anything after mounting the sdcard in my laptop), I had to film it. See attached video. It basically consists of lots of errors formatted like this: [<ffffffxxxxxxxxxx>] and a lot of errors looking like this: dma-pl330 ff1f0000.dmac: pl330_update:1783 Unexpected! Is there any way to s…

The new Opi board, using the popular rk3399 at a good price. Has a debian image... not sure what kernel it uses. Where to start ?

I know that WOL is currently not supported from the thread in kernel 5.x However, the specs of Helios64 showed and still shows that the interfaces have WOL support: * https://wiki.kobol.io/helios64/intro/#board * https://kobol.io under Multi-Gigabit Ethernet section What is missing ? How can we help ?

Hi, I am wondering if people have tried the Banana-Pi M7 board with `armbian monitor -m` and `stress --cpu 8` in different ssh or window terminals, both with bare board, with metal case, and also with different kernels ? I have had temperature issues with Banana-Pi M3 RockChip boards, and am wondering if M7's suffer the same.

I manged to get the USB OTG headers working on the NEO3 by modifying the NanoPi R2S DTB that it is currently using. 2 changes were needed: - Replaced all usb2 references to usb0 - Changed dr_mode for usb@ff580000 from otg to peripheral Modified DTB file attached if anyone else wants to give this a try or has a need for OTG on the NEO3 rk3328-nanopi-neo3-rev00.dtb

This is a continuation of ata1.00: failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED noted by @djurny. I've experienced the same issue, and have some additional data points to provide. My observations so far: I'm using WDC WD60EFRX (68MYMN1 and 68L0BN1) drives The drives were working without issue previously behind a ASMedia ASM1062 SATA Controller, I've also used some of them behind ASM1542 (external eSATA enclosure) I can reproduce the issue on a clean install of Armbian 20.08.21 Buster and Focal I can reproduce via simple `dd` to `/dev/null` from the drive so filesystem does not seem to be the underlying cause Every drive is affected (i.e. e…

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...

It does not matter which of the lastest Images I am downloading for the NanoPC T4, none of them is showing any sign of boot sequence. I flashed the images with balena etcher to the SD-Card before. I thought writing the image with etcher to SD-Card is all I need to do. My old system Shaitan with OMV is booting from SD-Card witout any issue. I have no idea, why none of the newer Images escpecially for the NanoPC T4 is not booting at all. Does someone has any idea?

Hi, I have installed the latest image "Minimal/IOT images with Armbian Linux v6.12" with the mainline Kernel. Many thanks @ColorfulRhino , @amazingfate and many others for their hard work. I have a board with 32GB RAM and 4x NVMe and it is working with HDMI, USB and network. I have installed XFCE on top by my own. Some parts currently not working (what I have seen so far): * second HDMI * HDMI audio * sensor controlled fan speed This seems to be on the roadmap for 2025 for the upstream Kernel. For the fan control I currently use my own overlay and want to share it. /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { /* ou…

If anyone is still interested, I have a Helios 64 that I assembled, looked at, but never got around to using for more than a couple hours. Works fine, does not yet have the 2.5GB fix but I have the instructions for same. No idea what to ask for it but it certainly isn't doing me any good sitting on my shelf. Have the manual, SATA drive bay adapters for 2.5" drives and the like. Make me an offer and pay shipping from Oregon. Let's talk!

I am now working on Bionic Desktop for Orange Pi rk3399. I want to do something similar to what have been done on Raspberry. i.e to use hdmi ddc as i2c (i2c over hmdi) http://blog.koalo.de/2013/11/i2c-over-hdmi.html I could run i2cdump, ic2get and i2cwrite without any problem but I can't find the i2c device for hdmi ddc of my OrangePi rk3399. My wild guess is that I need to enable hdmi ddc by modifying the uboot folder. However, I don't know how to start with. Can anyone give me some pointers? Thanks in advance Eli

Morning all, so I got myself a FriendlyElec CM3588 NAS board for testing and in the end integrating in my homelab. I tried a few Armbian images - FriendlyElec suggests the NanoPi R6S image and I tried the NanoPC T6 image. Both boot but both have some issues, e.g. no USB connectivity and no HDMI out (T6). While not a being developer or SBC specialist, I am a Linux user since 1995 (server)/1996 (desktop) and I am used to some pain, tinkering and problem solving. Is there any kind of "getting started with a new board"- or similar document that I could use as a starting point to tinker with this board? Any hints, advice? Of course I could use the …

I have attempted this with the vendor kernels and the mainline kernels, and they both do the same thing. The vendor kernel cannot see the EMMC at all after running updates on it. So that version would kill itself when updated even if it did install and boot off the emmc. The wifi also doesnt work on the mainline, so the options are mainline with no wifi or vendor with no emmc. Install to SD card --> to through setup wizard --> change firmware to 5b instead of 5.--> reboot --> armbian-install --> boot from emmc, system on emmc ---> spends a long time on counting files ---> file transfer screen flashes by in 1 second. --> shutdown ---> bo…

I got the Rock64 specifically for router-like functionality. In addition to the native ethernet port, I've added two USB3 RTL8153 Gigabit adapters: http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/productsView.aspx?Langid=1&PFid=56&Level=5&Conn=4&ProdID=326 I've tried multiple 0.5.x and 0.6.x Ayufan images, and also Stretch armbian here (which also uses the Ayufan kernel). I've tried both the 4.4 kernel all these distros come with, and up to 4.17 as well. In all cases I see terrible and unreliable USB3/USB2 and ethernet performance. In the Armbian Sketch image I see 'eth1' go up and down contstantly: …

Hi, just got a Nanopi R5C (waiting for an RPi for more than a year, yet...) but I couldn't find any headless images for this little box. There's an official debian-image available running LDXE, but open media vault isn't able to run on an Desktop linux... Any chances there will be support for the Nano Pi R5C / Rockchip RK3568B2? btw: can't choose R5C or just 'others' from the drop-down when creating a new post...

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

Sold on Reddit. Hello, looking at selling my Helios64. Mostly looking at getting a price check (what's the device still worth) and gauging interest. Device is in pristine condition, standard fans were swapped for Noctua NF-A8. (standard fans will be included) I'd prefer to keep this EU only as shipping is going to be a pain.

Hello, I had a NanoPi M4v2 running 5.10.63 (buster) for a while without issue. Both I2C and SPI were working perfectly fine and the system was stable. Today apt updated the kernel to 5.15.25 and it broke multiple things, the first issue was that the network wasn't working properly, yellow light but not green one / no IP requested from the local DHCP server. The overlays on this system were: overlays=dwc3-0-host i2c7 i2c8 spi-spidev overlays=dwc3-0-host i2c7 i2c8 spi-spidev I connected the eMMC moule to a card reader and removed the overlays one by one and found out that `i2c8` was breaking my boot / network: overl…

Not the final version. Update(8/24/2018): It's time to deal with NEO4, this picture is not the final version. NEO4 will have PCIe x2 and eMMC connector too, and a MIPI-CSI. But the dual-layer USB connector will share USB 3.0 & USB 2.0, Type-C take another USB 3.0.

I have Firefly RK3399 board. I ran armbian from SD card successfully the first time. After full init, I ran nand-sata-flash.sh install script, also successfully. But then I can't boot from the same SD card anymore. I always boot from the eMMC memory. I expected that boot sequence would be set on SD card first, then check eMMC.

My needs aren't really too high so I think 5 ports should be enough until the rest of the infrastructure catches up in my home network. My short-list are: * QNAP QSW-1105-5T * TP Link TL-SG105-M2 * TRENDnet TEG-S350 Article from servethehome

Hello, how to get I2C-2 device support in overlay? I have checked /boot/dtb/rockchip/overlay/README.rockchip-overlays and only i2c-7 and i2c-8 seems to be there. GPIO pins are here GPIO2_A0 and GPIO2_A1 https://wiki.radxa.com/Rockpi4/hardware/gpio#Rock_Pi_4A_.2F_4A_Plus_.2F_4B_.2F_4B_Plus_.2F_4C_.2F_4C_Plus.28.3E.3DV1.2.29_general_purpose_input-output_.28GPIO.29_connector Thank you!

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.

Just wonder if there is a good guide how to make dri work and allt the supported code´s work in wayland / xorg or other / Thanks

Hi, I am posting this here to notify you about the serious networking performance issue on my Rockpi 4B board. Ever since I installed the Trixie release, the networking on the board has been poor/not working at all. I cannot even run an apt update If I try to connect via SSH, I get: root@rockpi:~# apt update 0% [Connected to github.armbian.com (185.199.110.153)] [Waiting for headers] [Waiting for headers]client_loop: send disconnect: Connection reset >ssh root@192.168.0.200 ssh_dispatch_run_fatal: Connection to 192.168.0.206 port 22: Connection timed out I don't know where to start / what to check here.

Is there an issues page relating to the M4V2 and Armbian Focal. I'm testing it and I have a few strange things happening with NFS and network but I was wondering if there as a known issues or a general topic regarding this board and this Ambian build because searching for nanopi-M4V2 Focal... is not a good idea. Thanks

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. It's a smooth transition, no flashy circus. I might have triggered this myself, but no idea how? Is this is a new feature? I tried to make some video of it, but it is quite difficult to see. Groetjes,

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

Hello, ARMBIAN Ubuntu image looks not driving drive FAN_CTL_H pin ( GPIO3_D1) that control GND of fan connector, even if lm-senors report FAN PWM to with changin PWM value PWM9_M2 ( GPIO3_D1) alternate function is not visible into kernel overlays. Any hints ? Regards

This is something hopefully suitable to become a 'Board Bring up' thread. The NanoPC T4 was the smallest RK3399 board around featuring full set of interfaces (Rock960 was smaller but there you can't use GbE without a proprietary expander) but in the meantime he got two smaller siblings: NanoPi M4 and the cute NEO4. Pros: Another RK3399 board so software support is already pretty mature Rich set of interfaces (2 x USB2 without shared bandwidth, 2 x USB3, triple display output and so on) No powering hassles due to 12V (2A) PSU requirement 16GB superfast eMMC 5.1 Usable and performant Wi-Fi (dual band and dual antenna so…

I made a custom Plex Media Player build that leverages the decent performance we get with the fbdev/dri driver. I tested Rockchip MPP gstreamer plugin. The Rockchip Hardware VPU is very basic, it breaks with mkv playback, so I decided to use ffmpeg software decoding since it's extremely robust. Also 1080p playback through DRI isn't too shabby!. If you want 4k video then you need to contact Rockchip. They seem to be overwhelmed or not interested in bringing 4k support to Linux. I built a .deb package that will install plexmediaplayer to /usr/local. No worries about installing to somewhere and clobbering an official library or package. Official Armbian depen…

HI all I just received my Helios64 and built it this weekend. I followed the instruction and everything was going well. After installing OMV i tried to access it via the network and realised that my unit wasnt connecting over lan. I have tried both ports on the back and i am unable to connect just get the flashing orange light (no green light). I have tried using different cable and different ports on the router, a network restart, system restart but noting. If anyone can offer a suggestion of what else to try it would be appreciated.

I was wondering if anybody had an STL or the like for the drive sleds. I haven't broken one yet, but was thinking about making some in different colors on my 3D printer if they're available. Thanks.

Can't enable (using armbian-config) GUI ("desktop") without enabling 'auto-login". If I try to do so, GUI simply doesn't start. OrangePi 4 (not B), Armbian Buster. Which log shoud I look for info / include on forum?

I'm new to SBC and tinkering with Rock 4C+ (plus) board and appreciate some support and guidance for blueooth setup. Installed Armbian 23.11.1 Bookworm CLI build.

Curious if anybody else with tick-stop error? Not certain if this applies; the only change is installing Docker and Pi-Hole containerized. A quick read seems related to a soft interrupt of 8; - The only solution I could find by googling; is: "Add nohz=off to the kernel parameters during boot to disable it." Can I safely ignore this error message; or should I do this nohz=off to the kernel parms?

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

Anybody have success with panfrost? kernel module and userspace module I have firefly 3399( 5.4.8-rockchip64) board And I don't see panfrost in dmesg or lsmod Any idea?

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.

I want to directly create an armbian root file system called rootfs.img and then adapt it to the RK kernel configuration to run compilation scripts/ Build.sh updateimg directly generates image burning I don't know if this method is feasible

Trying to choose between an eMMC module or a USB Flash drive for the boot volume on a Rock64. I have a few Rock64's that I'm building as various services (Nextcloud, Pi-Hole, VPN, OMV, and/or Netatalk Backup). None of these devices will need large boot volumes as the data will be in secondary (Hard or SSD) Drives or will require VERY little data storage. On the RPi's that the Rock64's are replacing, I've been using USB Flash drives for booting. I get the feeling that an eMMC module is a better choice, but do have any real knowledge. Are the eMMC modules more reliable and less prone to corruption that USB Flash Drives? I do have some 32GB and 64…

Hi I’m running now armbian 19.11.7 buster with kernel 5.4.8, and using a using a HP EX900 250GB NVMe.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, I'm not an expert with this. I have the M4V2 with metal case. I downloaded Armbian_20.02.7_Nanopim4v2_bionic_legacy_4.4.213_desktop.7z and burned the IMG to one of my spare M4 eMMc Problem is that the eMMC does not boot and does nothing So I tried another M4 eMMC and exactly the same thing. So I burned the img to an SD card and it boots fine. But I cannot see the eMMC AT ALL, lsblk does not show it Is it possible the M4 eMMC is NOT compatible ( I dont' think so or I would have seen in my searches) OR I did something wrong ? Or missed a step I don't remember having this with my M4 ? Thanks in …

Like the title says, when I open armbian-config on my brand new NanoPi M4N2 I don't see a "Hardware" entry in the menu... is this expected? Only reason I wanted to access is to ensure I disable WiFi as I am only using Ethernet. For the record, I'm powering it with a 5V 4A PoE adapter, using a Samsung SD-card flashed with Armbian_20.05.7_Nanopim4v2_buster_current_5.4.49.img. I'm using a 256GB Sabrent M.2 NVME SSD as the main disk (configured via armbian-config), so the SSD card is for initial booting only.

Perhaps someone will be interested in this information. https://www.stationpc.com/thread-84-1-1.html

I have a recovery issue. I have successfully flashed an image on to my RK3399 SOM, but I made a mistake on the USB, so am trying to correct the error, but I have no USB communication when I boot into recovery mode. When I boot into recovery mode, it reports: "'recovery' does not seem to be a partition nor an address Unable to boot:recovery". It also tries to find a backup partition: "'backup' does not seem to be a partition nor an address Unable to boot:backup" then suggests I start rockusb: "try to start rockusb", but I have no USB. I have tried with several different computers and USB cables, but there is no USB! I assume that the boot file for recovery mode are no…

I have a jammy Armbian install on one of the (really) new IndieDroid Nova devices. I have changed /etc/gdm3/custom.conf, setting AllowRoot=true and /etc/pam.d/gdm-password, disable root quiet setting. Typical of what you do for Debian to enable explicit user/password input of the Gnome greeter. But with Armbian jammy, I still only get the default 'ttt' user forced on me, and the only value I can enter is the password for ttt. How to get the user list to appear so I can select ANY user and enter the password?

Because i need a more recent kernel than 5.10 on my odroid m2, i tried armbian. i searched for the nearest model and i manage to find Radxa Rock 5C (rocky 3588s2) i flash emmc with Bleeding edge images with Armbian Linux v6.11/ Debian 12 (Bookworm)Minimal / IOT for the rock 5c in /boot/armbianEnv.txt i changed just one line after installation : fdtfile=rockchip/rk3588s-odroid-m2.dtb and after a final apt upgrade i can run version 6.12.1-edge-rockchip-rk3588 of the kernel. for now it seems fine to me.

System logs: http://ix.io/4bd2 I have been using Armbian OS with Rock Pi 4B. The problem with Rock Pi 4B is that it doesn't have a power-on/off button. So, for closed systems with no keyboard/UI, there is no way to shutdown/start the system properly. Only option is to disconnect the power cable, which has corrupted my OS few times(by the way didn't happen on Debian). I implemented shutdown function through MRAA library and by attaching a button to 40-pin GPIO header. But with this approach, system can go to sleep, but cannot wake-up through button because my software is not running. As I have understood, the best approach to have a proper button f…

Hello, I don't know if I'm posting in the right section, if I'm wrong, please excuse me and move the topic to the correct section or tell me which section to write in.

I don't have positive experience with compiling a kernel for SoC, but I can test images Regards,

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.

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* …
