Not at the time of generation, but Armbian is stuck on reboot, not going to heartbeat led nor getting IP, and does nothing. I have no idea how it is related and what I should do to: - restore boot; - apply a key without ruining the installation. OMV 6.9.11-4 (Shaitan) on Armbian 23.8.1 Bullseye SBC RockPi-4A 4GB RAM with Penta SATA HAT (PCIe to SATA 4-channel for RAID + 1 eSATA). Eugenijus.

Hi all, I want to try the new Armbian, but before I do, I need to get this Orange Pi 5 Max updated with whatever UEFI project is still maintained and supports it. The UEFI I have installed right now is a hacked relic from a now abandoned ARM distro that was given to me -- I assume surely this has been superceded by a more legitimate source? Thanks kindly for any updates, looking forward to rejoining the Armbian family soon as my UEFI is updated

I do have a setup: 2.5" disks connected to the powered USB 3.0 hub. The power adapter is 10A.

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

I booted the RC from 1/20/2024, set the ftdfile to rc3588s-orangepi-5b.dtb in armbianEnv.txt, and rebooted: no wifi or bluetooth. The hci0 and wlan0 devices are not present.

Picked up a P1 Pro the other day. Used the P1 installer, and it boots fine. However WiFi and m.2 dont work ( no m.2 makes it useless for me.. WiFi, i can use a dongle ) so i assume the device tree needs changed. Still a newbie at this, so unsure how i can find or extract the tree from somewhere else. They do have a couple of official builds of other OS, but not real sure how to get it from there, if you even can. Lots of googling for a tree has come up empty.

Hello, I am trying to enable Panfrost GPU acceleration on a new Armsom Sige5 board running the latest edge kernel (6.1.115), but glxinfo -B still shows llvmpipe. I have been troubleshooting this for some time and have discovered that the kernel module (panfrost.ko) loads correctly with modprobe, but it is not binding to the GPU hardware on boot. I believe I have found the reason why. A recent commit to the Armbian build system (https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/836def3d11699537e6289dedfbc766c2050d422d) changes the method for enabling Panfrost. It removes the panfrost overlay and adds KERNEL_TARGET_CONFIG="panfrost-all" instead. It…

Hello, I am quite new to this topic, and I have found it to be quite complex. I primarily work with tiny MCUs and RTOSes, but I am enjoying the Linux space so far. In essence I would like to use the Mali GPU that is embedded within the RK3399 of the Helios64 for hardware transcoding.

I have a Dev term a06 and have been having problems with the newer releases based on kernel 6.x. After booting one of these, the display does not have backlight or any text/image displayed. On the last 5.x it boots and works fine. I have not yet tried the HDMI output on the 6.x versions, need to get an adapter, but I'm guessing that the built in display is not discovered. The Dev term does not normally have a serial port, I'd need to solder up an adapter, or I would have looked at it to see if anything was happening. Any suggestions for a very basic Linux user to try? Especially something I can maybe edit after flashing (before first boot). I should be able t…

Hi, I've downloaded the latest two images from the links mentioned https://disk.yandex.ru/d/-zSW21XKN0pfIA/ArmbianTV/20230103-edge But none of them boot from SD on my M3 box. The only one booting is the image from this link https://redirect.armbian.com/station-m3/Bullseye_legacy_xfce But this makes the cooling fan on the M3 to always spin at full speed and it's not usable because of this (it's really noisy). How can I make the other images boot? Tried both Etcher and USBimager. Please help. Thanks.

Hello I need to change a drive in the Helios64, and so I bought a new WD 2TB drive. Using a WD My Book 111D USB enclosure, I have partitioned, formatted and copied the data from the old drive. But when I change the drives to put the new one in the Helios64, the drive appears unformatted. See below. I can't understand what's happening, when I plug it back through USB everything is back to normal. Does the partitioning through USB differ somehow??? It appears as if the partition table "stays in the USB enclosure", which doesn't make sense for me. Is there something to try? Do I have to start again the process in the NAS enclosure? I…

Hi! I've successfully installed Armbian Bionic(kernel 4.20, automated build) image on NanoPC-T4, but gpu drivers not provided. Here output of http://ix.io/1FBI And /dev/mali0 didn't exist.

I did upgrade my NanoPi-R6C and see that there are no overlays in the linux-image-6.14.0-edge-rockchip64 Debian package; they were there in 6.14.0-rc4-edge-rockchip64 So there is no folder: /usr/lib/linux-image-6.14.0-edge-rockchip64/rockchip/overlay Is this on purpose or some mistake?

Hello to everybody, I am using rock 5b, PCB Version 1.42 with Armbian 22.11 CLI. I would like to connect IQaudIO DigiAMP+ based on the TAS5756 (https://shop.max2play.com/en/iqaudio-digiamp.html). According to the GPIO pinout of ROCK 5b and the datasheet of DigiAMP+ (page 21), this seams to be feasible from the electrical perspective. But the software perspective overwhelmes me as a linux novice. If I understand it correctly, I need more or less two things: a device tree overlay to activate the appropriate GPIOs with their I2S and I2C functionality and to tell the kernel about the attached device (DTS file or the compiled D…

Hello, Apologies for wrong tag, but I am hoping one or more can help with what has been a frustrating process for a Linux\Orange Pi newbie. Background information: I got Orange Pi 800 due to shortages with Pi 400. I wanted to run home assistant on it. Came to determine to get what I wanted would entail having Debian installed and not Ubuntu. Flashed the micro sd card and the Pi 800 does not boot to it. I was able to remote to it via Putty, but I was not able to set it up correctly. What ended up happening was Debian got installed but not in the way I expected. The Orange Pi desktop still boots but I get system application error. The Orange Pi can see the micro…

Hi - trust this is the right forum. I have forgotten the login password to my Arbian installation on the nanopi m4 V2. It boots from the eMMC just fine, but I am stuck at the prompt. I had only just installed it a few weeks ago (then things got hectic), so nothing really invested - I could just install again via the SD card, right? Unfortunately, it looks like the SD slot is no longer working. In the last 2-3 days nothing seems to boot from it. Which leaves me with an eMMC module loaded up with an Armbian - I think its bionic, because it does have wifi (buster never worked with wifi). In other 'vanilla' flavours of of l…

Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to switch from the current branch to the legacy one as I've read that the board will be much more stable with the older kernel ? I've installed my NanopiM4 last march, and I've experienced some random freezes of my board after some time (can take weeks). It seems that one of my solutions would be to use the legacy kernel as it is much more stable - information I got by reading the forums (something I haven't done before because I'm stupid and was in a hurry...). Is it possible to downgrade only the kernel at all ? Here are the packages that (I think) I have to replace : linux-bu…

Hello all, not sure if this is the right place for bug reporting. I'm getting a kernel panic during early boot (no hdmi initialized at this stage) since october 2024 when doing kernel updates.

It seems like the Radxa Rock5B has been downgraded from standard support to community support for the image downloads but not (yet) for the forum. Are the vendor images for the RK3588 and the 6.8.x images the same except for the kernel? (Can I expect to just replace the kernel to switch from the vendor image to the edge image.)

Hello, when i installed the helios64 initially i had the problem with the fans spinning at 100% (or really loud) and i solved it somehow. It was working fine with the fans spinning for one second when starting and shutting down the device. Now i finally updated the NAS with sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo omv-release-upgrade sudo reboot and after the reboot the fans are now spinning really loud again all the time. Is anyone aware of an easy solution or a quick fix? Someone else had the same problem at https://forum.openmediavault.org/index.php?thread%2F42550-fans-go-on-full-and-stay-there-after-doing-an-update-in-omv-web-control-panel-he%2F= but it…

I installed the Desktop images with Armbian Linux v6.1 (Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble), build Date: Feb 20, 2025), found that Chrome does not exist. Then I used the Synaptic Package Manager to install it, but the following error appeared: Firefox also not work nor cannot update. If anyone experencied the same? Thanks.

This is a HTML5 audio/video tester for web browsers: https://tools.woolyss.com/html5-audio-video-tester/ As you can see .webm is not enabled because frankly I have no idea which package I need to enable that.

Hi, Tested the current build (Armbian_19.11.3_Rockpi-4b_buster_current_5.3.11_desktop.7z) on a Rock Pi 4 v1.3. Working well so far the past couple of hours. Its an amazing feeling to be able to run the mainline kernel with so little issues. Some minor things: The Red Led keeps on blinking with this build. Earlier it only blinked if there was error while booting. New to this board, so this maybe incorrect. I booted up Radxa image and there also red light was blinking. Sound via 3.5 mm jack not working. Inserted earphone, no output. Sound via HDMI works. Thanks for your work. Edit- System info: aaditya…

Hi there, is the RK3399 (OrangePi4) already supported by Armbian? The manufacturer claims support "Debian 9" but current Armbian is Debian Buster 10 - based. Anyone tried this board with success?

I need help with two items. 1. When directly connect to my windows 10 pro pc i get the following in device manager. ft230x. Where can I download the drivers so i can use putty to connect to the helios64. 2. One of the fans is always spinning even when i shutdown with sudo shutdown -t now. Thanks

Hi everyone, Big fan of debian based distro's. Have six Rock64's and looking for a newer kernel (4.9+) with default Ubuntu modules list. 3 have eMMC cards and 3 using the Pine64 USB->SATA adapter with SSD drives. I have powered usb hub, y cables, etc but am using USB2 without powered hub because it's reliable as is and USB3 boot with any distro power injection seems unreliable. Not too concerned about throughput. Ayufan's release bionic-minimal-rock64-0.7.11-1075-arm64.img.xz with 4.4 is very stable on these. However Ayufan's mainline kernels after 4.4 are stripped right back. I spent a couple days compiling kernels with Ayufa…

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 folks, I got my helios64, assembled it during the weekend and can’t seem to actually install it. Here are some of the things I tried (I'm on windows 10 btw, I don’t have hdd drives yet, I assume this would not be an issue): · 2 sd cards (one of which is a Samsung as recommended in the wiki), two computers (with correct com ports as visible in the device manager, driver is installed), tried both on usb2 and usb3 · USB cable has been trimmed to fit the case properly - also tried with the back panel off and directly connected to the board · the devices starts up as soon as I plug in the power cord - I then use…

I built up a NanoPC-T4 with a 240GB NVMe. I am using the supplied heat sink and the black metal case that FriendlyArm sells. While I was copying an image over I got a board failure. A reset and power cycle didn't work. The stat light no longer shows activity. Just power.. that is all. Amazon was great and replaced the board. I am in the process of backing up my NVMe. After the backup I will run an OS install and restore the image. Has anyone else ran into this ? The black metal case isn't hot enough to burn my hands.. it's just very warm to the touch,.

Hello all, I am running Armbian 23.05.1 rock5b jammy legacy on a rock5b. The current kernel version, as given by uname -r, is 5.10.160-rockchip-rk3588. I'm attempting to build a driver module but have been unsuccessful because I'm unable to locate the kernel headers. I have tried installing the headers with apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) but result in a package not found error. I also tried searching for the headers in my file system with find / -name "linux-headers-$(uname -r)" but the command returned no results. I suspect that the kernel headers may not be installed, may be installed in a non-standard location, or …

I ran the 5.8/5.9 kernel for weeks without any issues (no RAM unstability, no crash, no ethernet issue). Now I reinstalled the thing and came back to a 4.4 kernel to have USB-C support. The thing is… Once every hours, the 1GBps Ethernet disconnects. Once connected through serial port, I can check the port status and it's shown as `Unknown`. I can `ip link set down eth0; ip link set up eth0` to set it back up. Am I the only one with this issue ? Is it well known on 4.4 and solved on 5.9 ?

Hello, I bought myself a NanoPi M4V2 and 4x SATA HAT for NanoPi M4, hoping to make a small home made server with some docker containers. I installed Armbian buster 5.10.21, downloaded from your site and managed to boot the OS from an attached SATA drive. I have some experience with linux (mostly Ubuntu/Debian), I own and I’ve played with Raspberry boards and I wrote small python scripts to work with GPIO on raspberry pi (how to blink a led or how to connect and display some text on an I2C 16x2 LCD). I thought that might be a nice project if I could connect an I2C LCD to nanopi and display some text text from python script, but here where I hit a bric…

at the first launch, I ran into the problem that the board cannot connect to the lan Internet via cable, it writes permanent connection and disconnection in the admin console. therefore, I cannot find out the ip address and understand what to connect to. Please help me if someone knows or has solved this problem.

Hi everyone! I bought a while a go few Rock Pi 4's for as a testing purpose and today while doing some laaarge malloc's it failed in really interesting manner; run out of memory. I did some stumbling with the code and did not find any bugs, so i looked for htop and was a very much suprised to see that my 2GB model has only 1GB total, /proc/meminfo reports same!

Hello everyone: I own an Orange Pi 5B 16GB. Today I updated from Armbian 24.2.1 to 24.5.1 stable. This new release includes the 6.1 kernel. When I issue the apt upgrade command I correctly get updated to 24.5.1 version but I am still in kernel 5.10. So, in order to be at kernel 6.1, I use armbian-config. The problem is, after doing this and rebooting, the board no longer boots, I dont' get SSH, anything... Another thing that I updated besides armbian itself where sobre libraries like libv4l or libmpp from @amazingfate, before updating those 6.1 kernel switching worked. Any help in how can I debug (like reading UART port) or solv…

Hi, I’m using the Helios64 with Armbian 20.11 Buster ( 5.9.10-rockchip64) On every reboot the SMART counter for “Unexpected_Power_Loss (174)” / “POR_Recovery_Count (235)” incresses by one. I’ve seen this unexpected behaviour on Samsung, WD and Crusical SSDs … Rebooting the box with sync && echo 1 > /sys/block/sdX/device/delete && reboot turns the disk friendly off, but shouldn’t this be done in systemd/kernel?

is there any way to send audio through displayport? i installed kodi, just as a database updater, but it fills the log with errors related to the audio system, and i see that aplay doesn't show any audio device, so another question is, is there any way to emulate an audio device? thanks

I've got my helios64 recently, and I wonder what type of FS to choose for main storage. I have five 4TB disk drives. I've installed OMV, made raid5 and format it with XFS. I use XFS because I work with this FS on Centos on my x86 servers, I don't use ext4 because I don't like when sometimes it starts to check filesystem during boot process. My setup is working perfect for a couple of weeks. I don't have any reboots or freezes or any issues that I've read on this forum. Now I think about migrating from XFS to BTRFS or ZFS. The main reason is to have file check-summing and scrub. Does anybody have btrfs with raid5 or ZFS with raidz1 on Helios64? Do you have any problems wit…

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…

Hey there, so I was curious is there an easier way to make microSD take precedence in the boot order then having to futz with jumpers? Wanting to try out a new distro on microSD before deciding to make the switch and flash it to eMMC. If I do futz with jumpers I'll still be able to mount and write to the eMMC correct?

I have a question. Why isnt all the rockchip information including forward mainline all in one space for all to see and collaborate/advance? That question is the right one to ask at the end of this particular week — because you've now personally visited every scattered fragment: English docs in one repo, Chinese docs in another, the mainline truth in Collabora's private notes file, the seek-handling wisdom buried in nyanmisaka's ffmpeg fork, the SoC-capability gotcha in a Jellyfin support thread, the 10-bit format law in a kernel patch, and the B-frame fix in nobody's space until Tuesday. Here's why it's like this — the honest anatomy: 1. Rockchip itself …

Having successfuly built and installed an Armbian image I would like to configure the WiFi connection as part of the process. Currently on first boot I have to connect a network cable to the SBC and run armbian-config to configure the WiFi manually which is a bit of a drag when I'm updating 5 boards. Is this doable ?

Hi. I was testing pwm with a motor, then my rock pis stopped. After boot, I couldn't see wlan0 in nmtui-connect. So I reinstall fresh armbian, I can see wlan0 again. I do wifi setting with nmtui-connect but after rebooting I can't connect wifi. I have to redo wifi setting with nmtui-connect, put password again and it adds another wifi. It seems like it can't connect to previous wifi. When I do "nmcli con show", I can see the previous wifi but it is deactive. I searched about it and found wifi mac address randomization issue.

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

Hi, i'm new to armbian and i hope to write in the right place I have a rock64 and deployed it as a remote server. Since it is in a shared place, to better protect my and my user's privacy i enabled Full Disk Encryption (CRYPTROOT_ENABLE). Now, back to the question: is usb otg enabled by default? Can someone with physical access use an otg cable to read files from the rock64? I would try it by myself but i don't have physical access to the board. OS: Armbian 19.11.4 Bionic (5.4.28-rockchip64) Thanks

Hello, I just apt upgrade-ed my Armbian 25.5 from mid-August to 25.8.1 and it doesn't start after software reboot. It is usually headless, I plugged it into a monitor and all I get is a uboot logo in the top left corner. No message, nothing. The board is the Rockpi 4A. The system is on eMMC 😩 What do I do now to at least roll back ? At worst make a browsable copy of the eMMC ? Thanks! Antoine

I am hoping that the community can enlighten me on how the Armbian development process works. I just purchased a Rock 64 board to use for a NextCloud box at home. I am seeing that Armbian seems to be the "best" OS solution for this. I also see that the Armbian release for Rock64 is still in "testing" phase. I would really prefer to run a "stable" release for this application. So my question is how does Armbian for Rock64 move from testing to stable. What is the process, what still needs to be done? I am not a developer or linux expert by any means. I am wondering how the process works so the I can see if I might be able to assist in any way. …

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. Is there any information on setting this up? 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.

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.

Dear Forum! If you are using Emmc as boot device, a M.2-ssd as system device and OMV is installed. You can backup with the OMV given image-backup (dd, fsarchiver). But how you can restore the backup? You need to boot from Sdcard (boot and system from sd)? And after that you can switch again back to emmc-boot and ssd-system without any issue? Is there any other easier way i.e. with CloneZilla to image-backup/restore? How you can do this?
