A stable Armbian Bookworm configuration for your Helios64 is provided here (solved). ************************************************************************* Recently a new Armbian 23.08.1 Bookworm image with linux-6.1.50 was made available for Helios64 on its download page (see here) - which is as such great 😀. Everything starts up nicely, but unlike the previous Bookworm 23.05 image, the current one has an issue with accessing USB devices.

Hello, I tried to install Armbian on my NanoPC T6, but when I boot it and look at the dmesg, I see some errors related to the emmc module. The emmc module is not the problem; I have tried different operating systems, and I don't encounter these issues. Here are the logs: https://paste.superkali.me/dajiqaloxa.yaml Thank you in advance.

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

I tried hackning the rock-5A.wip file to allow me to build the collabora version, and it worked quite nicely! The board boots into linux and the ethernet port and usb seem to work! so should i try to send up a pull request to the armbian GitHub to include this change, an if so How should i do this? otherwise someone else with experience is wecome to do it too! / Kenneth

Hi all, For most Nanopi devices there are packages in the registry which contain the u-boot files, for example: https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/armbian-apt/pool/main/l/linux-u-boot-nanopi-r4s-current/ Is there a reason these packages aren't present for the Nanopi R6S? The reason behind this question is that I used to extract the u-boot from these packages to experiment with other OS'es which have no official release for a certain device. Of course I can get the u-boot from the downloadable images its first couple bytes, but downloading just the package is way smaller. If there is another source to obtain the u-boot blobs I am all ears. …

Hello. My question is how to get the English version of the play store app on Orange Pi OS (droid). I have the preinstalled beta version of Orange Pi OS (droid). I have set the system language to English, but the play store app is still in Chinese. I would like to take advantage of the wide selection of android apps available. Please help me install an English version of the app store. Thank you.

Has anyone been able to install a remote desktop on the R2S? If so I would be very interested in how that was achieved?

I am trying to get a RPi camera (imx219) working on a RockPI 4C. I have been piecing together DTS files from various places trying to make sense of it, and I noticed that the rkisp kernel module isn't compiled on the Rockchip64 kernels. Is there a reason for this or am I missing something? Looking at the kernel menuconfig, only one of its dependencies isn't compiled: `V4L_PLATFORM_DRIVERS=n`.

Hi there, I'm using the latest version of armbian to run the linuxptp for the ieee1588v2 clock. When I check the timestamp status, the 1Gbps port which is the RTL8122 is no problem, but the 2.5G ports RTL8125BG are only supporting the software timestamp. However, when I checked the Realtek website, it says that the 8125BG also supports the IEEE1588 clock. I tried to install the driver, but it did not work. As a beginner in Linux, I probably don't have the knowledge to compile drivers, in this case I sincerely hope that armbian could officially support the hw ptp timestamp in 8125 NIC. Thank you very much! nanopi-r6s:~:# ethtool -T end0 Ti…

I have the newest Armbian 28.08.0-trunk image running on a NanoPi R6C with a 4TB NVMe SSD. The NanoPi is only connected to power and 1G ethernet via the 1G WAN port. When using the machine as NAS with Samba and a Windows client connected there is a strange problem when receiving large files. The files are stored on the NVMe SSD with ~450MB/s read/write via PCIe 2.1x1. When transmitting files from the NanoPi to a SMB client the 1G ethernet is maxed out but when receiving files the connection drops down to ~60 MB/s every few seconds. This instantly gets fixed when using the 2.5G LAN port instead of the 1G WAN port. On that po…

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?

I am unable to play files over SMB, but I can't seem to figure out what the problem is exactly. From what I can tell it *seems* ffmpeg is compiled without networking support, at least this is what smplayer was complaining about: [ffmpeg] Protocol not found.

Good evening, I have got Orange pi 5 board. MAC address of this board network interface `end1` changes every time I reboot the system. I tried adding entry in /boot/armbianEnv.txt, I tried specifying hwaddress in /etc/network/interfaces. Neither of those two options worked.

Good morning, I am an electronics engineer, and wanted to make an additional card for the nanopi neo3 based on the rk3328 to add an EMMC and an SPI memory to it so that it no longer uses an sd card. By dint of searching the forum, I managed to modify the dtb files of the neo3 to include the spi@ff190000 of my neo3 and to make the dtbo files spidev and jedec. But unfortunately, armbian-config cannot finish the job. For information I use a N25Q064..3E (flashroom information with active spidev) and goes back well in /dev/mtd0 in jedec. but in my armbian i have no file /usr/lib/uboot***spl.bin. Maybe the problem …

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

Hello everyone! I will teach you how to install WiringOP on Armbian. It's not the most practical method, but it works. First, we download the repository from the original website. $ apt-get update $ apt-get install -y git $ git clone https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/wiringOP.git Then, we proceed to look for the name of our board that is associated with Armbian. $ cat /etc/armbian-release | grep "BOARD=" | awk -F'=' '{print $2}' The previous command will give us the name of the board, which is the following: root@armbian:~# cat /etc/armbian-release | grep "BOARD=" | awk -F'=' '{print $2}' orangepi-r1plus-lts Now, we pro…

I am a newbie to linux. I installed orange pi os with arch linux from the official site, using rkdevtool and pressing maskrom button. I installed xfce and uninstalled gnome. The OS is stored in the emmc of the pi, and everything boots fine unless i insert the sd card in the designated sd card slot. At first, i had OS arch in that sd card, and when i first plugged it in the pi, the sd card OS booted. I figured that the pi gave priority to the boot section of the sd card, and since i dont need 2 OS on my pi, i decided not to investigate further, and just avoid the problem by wiping the sd card clean. I deleted all the partitions through the Windows Disk Partition app, forma…

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.

I plan to upgrade my NVMe memory. I currently boot off it - I set this up using the Armbian installer. Before doing the upgrade I'd like to know that I can boot off my SD card, should anything go wrong with the upgrade. But I'm unsure how to disable the NVMe boot sequence (which I think is SPI flash --> eMMC/mmcboot --> NVMe). If I insert my Armbian SD card, the system doesn't start. I've tried shorting pins 23/25 to disable the SPI flash but this has no effect. I am assuming that I can complete the upgrade by amending armbianEnv.txt to make the 'rootdev=UUID' line point to the new NVMe's UID? Is there a known solution to my que…

I've installed Armbian_v22.05.2_Rockpi-4cplus_jammy_current_6.1.33_minimal and whatever I try to play a 1080p video via the performance is horrible with very slow refresh, totally unusable. Normally loki gives me acceptable performance on SBCs of similar performance but not in this case. The Rock 4c plus is quite powerful so I'm really shocked at how badly it's performing. Let me be clear, I understand that the issue I see is not that the Rock 4c plus isn't cable of playing video, clearly it is and I'm not complaining about the hardware of the device. It's just that the software being used clearly needs to be optimised for it and most things out th…

Hi all, I have an Armbian installed on Orange PI 4B. I am trying to connect a flight controller to Orange PI 4B by using UART port. This board has a 40 pin header. I went to armbian-config, and enabled the UART1 and UART 4 which are available from armbian-config. I plug the UART port (to Pin 8 and pin 10) on the 40 pin header. Is that port UART 4?

Hey everyone, I need some assistance with a problem I'm facing. I recently attempted to attach a 5V cooler to my Orange Pi 4 board, but unfortunately, nothing seems to be happening. I even used a multi-meter to measure the voltage, and it consistently shows 0.0V. To ensure I connected everything correctly, I consulted online diagrams and made sure I was using the appropriate pins. Currently, I am powering my Orange Pi 4 using the USB-C connection. Could this be the cause of the issue? Should I change to use the power jack connection? I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions you can provide. Thank you in advance.

Hi, Currently working on building the kernel modules for tinkerboard-2. But wonder how to deploy my local build (kernel, device tree and full kernel modules) to my boards without re-flashing the SD card image. Could anyone provide me a instruction guide? Thanks

I think I found a regression: It seems the USB 3.0 port is not working with kernel 5.10.160. It was working with kernel 5.10.110. So I have two questions: 1. How do I file a bug-report ? 2. Linux 6.3 officially supports the rockchip-rk3588 (6.4 is out). When can we expect a kernel update and which kernel version would that be? Thank you

I haven't contemplated that.

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.

Hey guys, I just received an orange pi 5b, pcb says version 1.1. Unfortunately, the HDMI is dead, out of the box. No display is being recognized. The pi boots, though. Then I had a closer look at the HDMI connector on the board. I wonder if the HDMI ever works for anybody. The traces are connected in the wrong place, especially the DDC lines for monitor data and the hotplug detect is mixed up. The picture confirms that. The pin on the lef is supposed to be hotplug detect, but it routed like a differential pair and connects to a capacitor. The other trace of that pair is also in the wrong place. Can some of you confirm that? Do…

Hi all, I am running armbian bookworm on a nanopi r6c (rk3588). At boot, wireguard does not resolve the endpoint (strange, because it runs after network-online.target) and instead of keep trying, it gives up. If I manually restart it, all is good. Attached screenshots show the different behaviour in a raspberry pi (rpi4 as hostname) running raspios, where it keeps trying to resolve the endpoint, and nanopi r6c not retrying. I will recompile kernel to enable wireguard debug (or is there a quicker way?)

Hi I just installed armbian on my rockpi 4c+ and wanted to check the temperature so I found that I should be able to run cat /etc/armbianmonitor/datasources/soctemp But that just gives the error cat: /etc/armbianmonitor/datasources/soctemp: No such file or directory It seems /etc/armbianmonitor/datasources/soctemp is a link to /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp but I have no /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0 directory, under thermal I have ├── cooling_device0 │ ├── cur_state │ ├── max_state │ ├── power │ │ ├── autosuspend_delay_ms │ │ ├── control │ │ ├── runtime_active_time │ │ ├── runtime_status │ │ └── runt…

Hello, When I try to build any image for 5B with the Edge kernel and Ubuntu, it will not boot. No matter if desktop or server, both green and blue LEDs are permanently on, and the board doesnt start. If I choose Mainline or Midline kernel, it works. I used the official build enviroment, host is Ubuntu22, all updated & upgraded https://github.com/armbian/build

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 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 …

Hi I found the following page https://www.armbian.com/rockpi4/ but I guess those files are for rock pi 4 and not rock pi 4 c? It has a link to 4 c plus images https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/dl/rockpi-4cplus/archive/ but they only contain bullseye? So are there any plans for rockpi 4 c plus to have a bookworm image? Are there any github pipelines that build them where I could send a pull request? (not that my c or c++ compilation skills are existing but I would be happy to give it a try).

I've been following this thread: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/nanopi-r6s-linux-6-3-arm-soc-updates/153072/14 downloaded the latest version. Decided to do some experimenting and found out that they use u-boot 2023.04. And after some experimenting I found out that it works with Armbian when I flash it to the internal storage. U-Boot 2017.09-armbian (Apr 25 2023 - 04:20:41 +0000) U-Boot SPL 2023.04-OpenWrt-r0-e283eb2 (Jun 12 2023 - 00:36:27 +0000) Whats the reason the armbian u-boot is so far behind ? (i know its WIP, just asking)

It's quite some time ago that I used my rockpi however today I wanted to restart my project again (some sensors with an A/D Board connected to SPI). First of all I tested the Board on a Raspberry Pi (with Raspbian) there it is working as expected so it is not a hardware issue. I connected my board MOSI = GPIO2_B2 (Pin 29), MISO = GPIO2_B1 (Pin 31), CS = GPIO2_B4 (Pin 33), Clock = GPIO2_B3 (Pin 7). The matter is that it sometimes works and the correct data is received but just once in a while. For me it seems that the CS is not working properly but how to get SPI communication working correctly? In the attached screenshot the value 744 is the correct value, i …

I have a development board, model eaidk-310, with soc rk3228h (which is said to be the same as rk3328). The official website of the board has been closed, so I cannot obtain more related information.

Hi, i've an Hdd of 1TB and i would like to use it as a storage for my orange pi 5. I would like to install armbian and boot directly from the Hdd the operating system. I need only to buy the adaptor for sata interface. Before to buy it i've read some posts and also watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5-sZt_O51w&pp=ygUZb3JhbmdlIHBpIDUgYm9vdCBmcm9tIHVzYg%3D%3D and this guy was not able to boot the orange pi directly from the Hdd because the adaptor was creating some problem. 1) I would like to ask you if someone knows if in this months this problem was been resolved or not 2) If it is not yet solved, i would like to install the OS and…

I have a rock5b running Armbian_23.02.2_Rock-5b_jammy_legacy_5.10.110_gnome_desktop.img Recently, somehow the kernel become corrupt in some manner. I restarted the board and it just never booted again. Blue light stays lit, never flashes.

Hello, I installed Armbian Jammy on Mekotronics R58, but at startup the system does not use all the space available on my emmc (64go). How is it possible ? How to correct this? Command: df /dev/mmcblk0p1 306580 142884 163696 47% /boot /dev/mmcblk0p2 15016152 13122848 1714556 89% / Thank you

I had a need to change the macaddress of this device, after looking through the bootloader I spotted 2 offsets: 0x380400 macaddress NIC1 0x380406 macaddress NIC2 I would love an option in the installer, but I did it manually now: # dd if=/dev/mmcblk2 bs=16M count=1 of=bootloader 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 16777216 bytes (17 MB, 16 MiB) copied, 0,0736928 s, 228 MB/s # read_mac bootloader 0x380400 9c:d5:dc:b2:ce:1c # write_mac bootloader 0x380400 $(random_mac) write_mac bootloader 0x380400 $(random_mac) # read_mac bootloader 0x380400 b0:3f:1a:83:9a:da After scripting a couple of functions of course: ### Functi…

I have serious issues with the serial number being exposed in /proc/cpuinfo. Especially when browsers have access to this information. Afaik, its u-boot who passed this information on to Linux. Any idea how to mask this from Linux? Your help is appreciated

What gives with the Armbian website links? Links to all previous versions Armbian for the OrangePi R1 Plus LTS have been removed. The links to SHA hash and PGP signature do nothing. I was hoping to use an image that was based on Debian Bullseye, but that link has been recently removed. It is possible to create my image, but I would spend my time working on my code, not wading through the options to create an image.

Could anyone point me in a good direction if I wanted to start learning how to get the Rock 5B HDMI driver running for the 6.x kernel? I'm looking for where it's located in the Linux file structure, but also documents and possible support files / repositories from Rockchip. /Kenneth

Armbian/Jammy is working like a charm, thanks guys. Settings up the encryption was a bit of bitch but its working as you can see. Any chance of adding encryption to the installer?

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.

Any idea's which package I am missing?

My rock-5b has no network connection at times after rebooting. I've included a armbainmonitor -U report to this post.

If anyone is able to assits I'd appreciate it :) armbianmonitor.log

Brand new out of box, the wireless works fine on the orange android os. I then downloaded the orange os aarch64 image and installed. It was the latest. Wireless did not work, but after a couple lines of code/commands it did. I had to add a line to the orangepienv.txt file that was dealing with overlays. After that and a reboot it worked fine. BUT it is seriously boxed in. That is, because of lack of aarch64 support I could not download what I needed...so I tried debian which worked ok, but had issues with processing streaming video over 480p...anything higher I was having screen stutter and ripping plus their was artifacts everywhere. Finally I settled on Armbian,…

Greetings, I have multiple NanoPi NEO3s on the same subnet. When booting with Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS they use the physical MAC address when posting to DHCP, but ARMbian seems to create a default (fake) MAC address and uses that instead. Judging by the "armbianmonitor -U" output, ARMbian knows about the physical MAC address, it just doesn't use it. The NEO3 board is listed as supported, but there is another posting dated 2020 that still seems to be unresolved. MAC address c2:1f:b3:b0:d2:41 seems to be a generic (fake) address that is being used. Is there a remedy to allow it to use the actual hardware address with this kernel ? -- -- -- brack…

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

I get Kernel Panics when i do a reboot of the device with the reboot command. I don't get any Panics, when doing a normal boot of the System by powering it. The Panics don't occur on Manjaro. Updating the kernel to 6.1, did nothing for me and the Panic messages are always different and occur at different points of the Boot process. The System runs stable for days, when it boots. I don't have any clues what is going on hear, but i it seems that the device and sdcards aren't broken.

Hi everyone, i am using NanoPi R6C which is + integrated with a Rockchip RK3588S + running Armbian_23.2.7_Nanopi-r6s_jammy_legacy_5.10.110 image I need to use 3 UARTs (UART1, UART4, UART5) on this board but don't know how to do, can anyone give me some guides please, i have tried armbian-config but in "Hardware" there is no NanoPi R6C option

Hello everyone. I have a defunct Helm Email server which carries a Rockchip rk3399 SoC. I have flashed with a custom Armbian image provided by the Helm folks. After flashing the box with the .img file, I am able to ssh into the new armbian box and go through the basic initial armbian setup. The box recognizes my 1TB nvme drive, so I then create a primary partition and format the nvme using fdisk and mkfs. I then install armbian-config and use it to install the root system to the nvme0n1p1 by using the following option on the menu: System -> Install -> 1 Boot from SD, and chose the nvme0n1p1 partition. After that I verify the BootE…

I bought a NanoPC-T4 development board designed by friendlyelec and installed the Armbian operating system. But the heat generated by the Rk3399 main control chip is too high.

However, under the same configuration under Armbian, the fan can’t work normally, so I What work needs to be done? Thanks.

Anyone know the plans to get the HDMI outputs active on Rock 5B and the 6.x kernels? I thought it was working on one 6.2rc2 build earlier but lately I have not been able to get any visuals out from Armbian builds using edge kernels.

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?

Anyone cares, have some helpful tips or time & knowledge to fix this ? Problem: No audio on either sink (board or HDMI) with the latest built made available for download (Armbian 23.02 Jammy XFCE Kernel 5.15.y, Size: 1313Mb, Release date: Feb 27, 2023) Tried so far: Switching the default server to nanopmi4v2 and toggling the default sink; Hints: Both sinks work fine on a previous 'dirty nightly built' that I have used for a while.

Hello, I faced an issue some weeks ago with a brand new eMMC card on my RockPi 4A that is now solved. I succeeded in installing Armbian onto it from the running SD card but quickly found tons of error messages in syslog related to eMMC, of the following: Mar 2 21:53:46 rockpi1 kernel: [ 2107.590024] mmc1: running CQE recovery Mar 2 21:53:46 rockpi1 kernel: [ 2107.609557] mmc1: running CQE recovery Mar 2 21:53:46 rockpi1 kernel: [ 2107.615886] mmc1: running CQE recovery Mar 2 21:53:46 rockpi1 kernel: [ 2107.617068] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk1, sector 17498312 op 0x1:(WRITE) flags 0x104000 p hys_seg 17 prio class 0 Mar 2 21:53:46 ro…

I've installed pluseaudio, mpg123 and attached pin 7, 8 with pin 2 to an external speakers(left using pin 7 and right using pin 8). However, when running mpg123 test.mp3, the file was played successfully but no audio was heard. Any means of debugging what could have gone wrong?

Building Jammy works fine, but if I select Kineic for example using this ./compile.sh BOARD=rock-5b BRANCH=legacy RELEASE=kinetic COMPRESS_OUTPUTIMAGE=img KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no BUILD_MINIMAL=no BUILD_DESKTOP=no it fails in this way [🌱] Installing base system with 5 packages [ Stage 1/2 ] [🔨] E: No such script: /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/kinetic [💥] error!

I had some troubles with the latest build (Armbian_23.05.0-trunk_Orangepi5_lunar_legacy_5.10.110). First I had to restore the 5b specific device tree (rk3588s-orangepi-5b.dts) because with the modified rk3588s-orangepi-5.dts the Wi-Fi and the eMMC doesn't work. So far everything works fine with the exception of the bluetooth. After each boot I have to manually attach it: hciattach /dev/ttyS9 any ...otherwise the hci_uart module is not loaded and no hci device is available. Once attached the bluetooth works fine and I can pair my mouse with it, but not my bluetooth keyboard?!? Seems like the adapter doesn't even detect the keyboard. W…

My OPI will turn on but it shows android os via hdmi. I don't have a micro SD card and would like to install bullseye via usb instead. i've attempted ssh into the OPI via wifi and direct usb connect, but it denies the connection.

Hi, I have a USB device that periodically hangs. Reboot or re-plug helps, but I need something lighter. I've seen several discussions on the problem of resurrecting hanging USB devices, but their solutions seems devices specific. Non on them worked in my case. I tried ioctl with USBDEVFS_RESET among other methods. uhubctl didn't work too (it seems it only sees EHCI hub, while my device is USB3.0 and connected to XHCI). Ideally the solution should depower a single USB connector to let the device fully reset and then get it connected back.

Device: Orange Pi 5B OS: Armbian 23.5.0-trunk.135 Bookworm Pipewire devices listed using pactl list sources only lists a single input device, which I think corresponds to the headphone jack input device.
