Hi, is it possible to switch off the GPU of the Station M1 to reduce power in headless server application ? Chris

Hi, I'm using NanoPi M4 $ uname -a Linux nanopim4 4.4.213-rk3399 #3 SMP Mon Oct 5 15:53:54 CEST 2020 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux and wondering if I can upgrade the linux kernel to 5.8.x without reinstalling other things. I tried armbian-config -> System -> Other All available options are those 4.4.213-rk3399 with different Armbian versions 20.08.x. I'm currently on 20.08.9 Appreciated any step, pointer Thank you

Hi What is the appropriate method to upgrade to a new release (20.11) without reimaging the SD card? I have not attempted this before as I have mainly used Ubuntu which provides sudo do-release-upgrade Note I am not using a VM or Docker. Can I upgrade the kernel using the downloaded Helios64 image? sudo apt install ./linux-image-<flavour> Is there a way to do it using armbian-config (like there is for raspi-config) Or do I need to download the armbian source and then compile ./compile.sh

Hi, I bought a 2-pin piezo buzzer to use for alarm messages. It is connected to the P4 header on the board. When I execute the "beep" command in the console I only get short click noises. Are special kernel drivers necessary for a correct function?

Downloaded Armbian_community_25.2.0-trunk.110_Tinkerboard-2_bookworm_current_6.6.63_minimal.img.xz from GitHub. Burned with Balena. Filesystem is different from what I'm expecting. But it's Rockchip so I don't know what to expect. I'm used to Asus Tinker 2 Bullseye's 8 or 9 partitions. Plug it in. Doesn't boot. I'm able to see the root fs so I know it's there. What am I doing wrong?

If you want the fans of your Helios64 to start spinning earlier, look no further. This will allow the fans to spin at a constant speed from the earliest stage of initrd until fancontrol is started by the system. My use-case is for full disk encryption and recovery in initramfs, sometimes I can have the machine powered on for quite a while before fancontrol starts. Or, if the boot process encounters an error the fans may never start, this prevents that. Step 1: Tell initramfs to include the pwm-fan module echo pwm-fan | sudo tee -a /etc/initramfs-tools/modules Step 2: Create a new file at /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/fan with the followin…

Hi, I wanted to convert my root filesystem to btrfs. This allows me to use snapper to take regular snapshops. I also use btrbk to send my snapshots to my secondary storage (also a btrfs array). My root filesystems is installed to eMMC, but there isn't any reason you couldn't do this with an sd card. These instructions are done with a laptop running Linux. I'm using Debian in this case, although any distro with a recent kernel and btrfs tools installed should work. CAVEATS: The current u-boot image (2020.08.21) doesn't support booting natively to btrfs. u-boot *does* support btrfs though. Hopefully a future build of u-boot will add btrfs…

I am currently on Armbian 22.05.0-trunk with bleeding edge Linux 6.1.11-rockchip64 according to the main boot page in terminal I was in the process of converting an elegoo neptune 4 into a non-neptune version of klipper followed a guide that used a script was on the last step which was to do a system update...and upon reboot, I have no ethernet devices all I see is loopback what do I do to get my hardware ethernet interfaces back? this device does not have a removable SD card, but it does have a serial port... so everything must be done thru command line armbian monoitor.txt

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 know this is going into the wrong section of the Rockchip forum but I don't see a parent category for anything like "Rockchip - Other". I can outline the issue in this thread, but I would rather have this post get moderated and get directed into the right spot to ask about specifically the Turing RK-1 or more generally "weird boards that have RK3588s that aren't already listed".

Hi, I'm trying to build a zynthian synthesizer on a nanoPi m4v2. The principle is to start from a minimal buster image and run a bunch of compilation scripts (see here on github) to create all the needed software. But all that stuff is for Raspberry Pi. In an initialization script (see here on github) they define compilation flags like this: if [ "$ZYNTHIAN_FORCE_RBPI_VERSION" ]; then hw_architecture="armv7l" rbpi_version=$ZYNTHIAN_FORCE_RBPI_VERSION else hw_architecture=`uname -m 2>/dev/null` if [ -e "/sys/firmware/devicetree/base/model" ]; then rbpi_version=`tr -d '\0' < /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/model` else…

I have a Rock64 powered by Armbian version 5.60 kernel 4.4.162-rockchip64 Ubuntu Bionic How can I activate i2c0 and i2s0 ports for connecting a 16x2 characters LCD display like 1602LCD and a PCM5102 DAC ? I'm trying armbian-config and I'm reading https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Allwinner_overlays/ but I'm getting no help. Thanks for advance.

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

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…

I am trying to enable sound with RT5651 audio codec on SoM-RK3399v2. Hardware is integrated on the board (on i2c1 bus, address 0x1a), worked with official FriendlyElec Linux (4.4 kernel IIRC) and tests were run with powered speakers (which work when connected to PC). I used this patch to patch my current device tree: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/patch/kernel/rockchip64-dev/board-nanopi-m4v2-dts-add-sound-card.patch I did not use Kconfig file from the patch as it seems that my kernel have has built that modules. page 19 of NanoPI M4V2 and page 7 of SoM-RK3399 schematic shows that same audio codec (rt5651 on the same busses (I2S1 and I2C1…

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? Rich Leonard

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?

Hi all, which image should i choose for a LuckFox core3566 ? Thanks

Hi all, I'm a bit out of date with regards to a working image for the NanoPi M4 v2 board. I have @pask image which works great but having to boot from the sd card and flash a bootloader patch to eMMC card whenever you reinstall ( I constantly break installs by over experimenting with stuff I don't know enough about ) is a bit of a pain. Anyone know of an image I can just download and flash ?

Hi all, built an image for the nanopi m4v2 today using this command line from the build folder ./compile.sh BOARD=nanopim4v2 BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=no BUILD_MINIMAL=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=jammy the build completed successfuly so I flashed it to an sdcard, the problem is is won't boot, I used my newly found skill ( thanks @Werner ) and connected my UART serial TTL cable. The output is rather verbose so apologies up front - does this mean anything to anyone here. The build is the same as I normally do and it's worked fine until today.

Hi everyone! I got a Radxa E25 network computer with two 2.5GBit ethernet ports. The first one is coming up, the second one, however, does not. After comparing to the Debian Bullseye image by Radxa, I figured they don't bring the second port up either but for a different reason. Finally, I found a release on Radxa's Github that brings up both ports. I'll give you the output of that one and the Armbian and the Radxa E25 Bullseye images marked accordingly. The three images are: "b1 (rsdk)", "radxa-e25_bullseye_cli_b1.output.img.xz", works, source: https://github.com/radxa-build/radxa-e25/releases Radxa E25 B…

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?

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.

I am using a Linux rockpi-4cplus with 5.15.93-rockchip64 (bullseye). I plan to use SPI1 (GPIO1_A7, GPIO1_B0, GPIO1_B1, GPIO1_B2), and then add in a 2nd device on this SPI bus via a custom CS GPIO pin (GPIO4_D5). I could not find the corresponding script file (.DTS) online (on Github) associated with the object file (rockchip-spi-spidev.dtbo). Please could someone point me to it - I can only find files for "sunxi-DT-overlays". So I decided to create my own DTS file, as follows: /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { fragment@0 { target = <&spi1>; __overlay__ { #address-cells = <1>; …

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 Armbian running on a NanoPi R6C 8GB with 32GB eMMC.

After a shutdown and booting from the microSD again the idle…

Hi there! I've got 2 of these industrial android boards (s2809-mb-v1.8c) and I've been trying to get armbian running on the. For a while but so far no success.

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.

First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the maintainers for their contributions. This project has helped me a lot, and it runs smoothly on my device. It seems that the status of the nanopi-r5s has been in the staging phase for a long time. I am wondering if there is an opportunity for it to be promoted to the standard support phase. Additionally, I would greatly appreciate having a compiled version of Ubuntu Server. Is there anyone willing to help with this? Thank you very much.

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

I have installed OMV via armbian-config (software). After that I tried to install Nextcloud the same way. In the process I noticed that Apache2 does not start due to a port mismatch (port 80). I was able to determine that obviously the web server nginx is already installed and used for OMV. Can someone please explain to me if this is intentional or if I made a mistake during the installation? Is it possible not to install OMV and Nextcloud in parallel? How can I solve this?

GPU can perform far better than CPU cores for certain applications. Computer vision is one of them. Orange Pi 5 GPU has 64 shading cores. It runs up to 19 times faster than 8 CPU cores combined for computer vision models. Armbian on Orange Pi 5 supports OpenCL driver for compute-intensive GPU programs. To install OpenCL on Orange Pi 5 Armbian, follow the instructions in the following link; Install OpenCL on Orange Pi 5 Armbian

Hi there, as the Chinese market is missing "in stock" OPi4 (not B), RockPi 4B (for more than a month) I am looking for alternative.

(as it is not listed in subforum header). Laurent.

Hi, in Germany electrical Power ist getting more and more expensive (reaching 30ct per kWh). So I am trying to work out a Desktop Usercase Scenario (Mail, Office, Browsing, Video Streaming, Audio Streaming) on a SBC System. My experience is growing in Using a Manjaro XFCE on the Pi 4B (4GB), Booting from SSD. It works very well, nearly like the former used Deskmini A300 with Athlon 200GE. And I also tried out the Jetson Nano, Ubuntu 18.04. On both Systems you can get a satifsfying Desktop Experience, but the Jetson with ist Cortex A57 Core Base is a bit slower, also while it is used from an micro SD SanDisk A1 Card.

I was in the middle of assessing which new firmware to use on a set of OrangePi 5 Max, since the future of Joshua Riek's one is uncertain, and after installing the corresponding Armbian release I was welcomed with a notorious message warning me not to use it in production. I understand that it's community maintained, but is it really unsafe to use for production projects? Since Armbian seems to be the most popular distribution I wanted to double check before moving on to the next.

Hello! I've recently installed NextCloudPi, which ships Linux 4.4 by default (linux-image-rockchip64 - Linux kernel, version 4.4.159-rockchip64). Is it OK to update to linux-image-arm64? As far as I understood, mainline Linux supports RK3328 chip since version 4.14. Thanks a lot!

My OPI will turn on but it shows android os via hdmi.

Hello everyone, I’m starting this message by apologizing for my poor English (I am French) and also by informing you that I am a newbie with Linux. I have a big problem with my NAS Helios64. At first, I thought this problem was caused by OMV. So I went to the OMV forum to explain my situation. I created the following topic: https://forum.openmediavault.org/index.php?thread/40252-many-problems-after-an-update/&pageNo=1 . There, a kind moderator (macom) asked me to enter some instructions to try to pinpoint the root of the problem. After giving him some outputs, he told me: "For me it looks like your SD card is dead."

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

Hi, I don't have an idea why it stucks. Armbian_20.05.0-trunk_Rockpi-4b_buster_current_5.4.43 EDIT: I have downloaded the pre-build image Armbian_20.05.1_Rockpi-4b_buster_current_5.4.43 and it works. It boots at an astonishing speed, only 18 sec which is a miracle. How can I build the same kernel? Is sufficient to copy just a .config file?

There are several questions on the topic: Between the moment of transfer of control to the kernel from the u-boot and the moment of start of the kernel operation it takes 1.5 -2 minutes. I assume that during this period of time there is decompression of the code and placement in memory. But why so long? The 4.4.x kernel starts instantly. When I first turned on a nanopc-t4 with a 5.x.x (4.20) kernel, I already thought the kernel was corrupted. And quite accidentally waited for the green LED to blink. Why is there still no sound in fdt for nanopc-t4? I corrected fdt, but I can 't put it in kernel.org. It is possible that my patch goes against the established str…

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.

I'm using Rock64 image with my V88 Piano RK3328 box and when trying to build ZFS (SPL), it gives me an error. It's probably due to the maching kernel headers for running kernel is missing. When i run apt-get install kernel-headers-generic it installs 4.4.116 headers and not 4.4.77 kernel i'm running. How can i get the correct kernel headers? Thanks.

Hello everybody! From what I found there’s no rockchip64 (is that the right one for rk3568?) header for 5.10.110. Since the current Kernel is that version can somebody help me either build or point me to right header files? That would be much appreciated

I'm using a Rock 5 ITX and noticed after installing the latest rk35xx kernel image (6.1.84-vendor-rk35xx) that my system wasn't booting. So I connected to the debug console and observed a kernel oops being emitted. It dumps out a few pages of data, but the initial messages and call trace are: I have all the hex data if someone would use it but it doesn't seem worth including here. The boot flounders around in systemd for a bit but never gets to a login prompt - and I'm not that savvy with uboot to enter single user mode or otherwise dig in more. So I reinstalled from nothing, upgraded all my packages (including the vendor-rk35xx kernel), …

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

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.

I'm experiencing a lot of issues on 5.10.x and thought a dedicated thread would make sense. I've posted some reports in other threads too. Note that 5.9.x is much more stable for me, but not without problems. I'm also experiencing what I can only refer to as boot stalls, i.e. nothing happens. Occasionally when these stalls happen there is a rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks trace printed. This happens on both 5.9 and 5.10. Looking at where it stalls it seems to be around the time the hardware optimizations are applied and/or graphics modules are loaded. I have currently blocked the graphics modules from loading and have moved hardware optimi…

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…

How can I make the Khadas the default output device ? Edit I have it working now you have to edit /etc/defaults/squeezelite and tell it what card to use SL_SOUNDCARD="hw:CARD=Control,DEV=0"

It’s been 3 months since we posted on our blog. While we have been pretty active on Armbian/Kobol forum for support and still working at improving the software support and stability, we have been developing in parallel the new iteration of Helios64 around the latest Rockchip SoC RK3568. However things haven’t been progressing as fast as we would have wished. Looking back, 2020 has been a very challenging year to deliver a new product and it took quite a toll on the small team we are. Our energy level is a bit low and we still haven’t really recovered. Now with electronic part prices surge and crazy lead time, it’s even harder to have business visibility in an …

Rockchip has released bsp kernel 5.10 for rk356x and rk3588. Since multimedia support is not fully supported by mainline kernel, a legacy kernel would be good if you want h264/hevc hardware decode. To make kodi support hardware decoding, you need: 1, ffmpeg supporting rkmpp. I've packaged it in my ppa: https://launchpad.net/~liujianfeng1994/+archive/ubuntu/rockchip-multimedia, which is based on the patch from https://github.com/JeffyCN/FFmpeg/. 2, kodi built with gles render system, which is also in my ppa 3, a gpu driver supporting gles. For rk356x you can use mainline panfrost driver. For rk3588 you can use panfork-mesa from my ppa: https://launchpad…
