Rockchip

I noticed today that there are no 23.02 images for the rockpi-4c. The images exist for the 4a, 4b and 4cplus variants but not the 4c. The 22.11 images are the latest for the 4c. The reason I noticed is that on the downloads page for the rockpi4 it is still showing 22.11 as the current images because that page is showing the 4c info, with links provided to the other variants. The fact that it still showed 22.11 caught my eye.

I installed the latest Armbian image and used a 1080P portable monitor to finish the install process. But when I use my bigger monitor with 2560x1440 resolution, it cannot output signal via HDMI. I searched about it, but most of them are about windows/x86 contents. Any idea about that?

Hey guys, First of all I would like to let you know that the default DTB has an issue, the GPU status is disabled by default. I've changed this & now my GPU is detected & working fine so far. (Armbian Jammy current) But I'm also facing some other Issues.... not all USB Ports are working, just 2-3 & the working ports sometime are randomly switching after a reboot. Bluetooth isn't working at all I guess these Issues are also related to the dtb file because I didn't find any entries for BT in the DTB. I also tried the other DTB file: rk3399-rock-4c-plus but I dont have any video output with it but there…

Armbian 22.11.2 Cinnamon desktop was successfully installed onto eMMc storage from a microSD card. However, after installing the 3D accelleration following the official Armbian instructions, the Rock 5b failed to load the desktop. Instead, after the display of the Armbian splash screen, the screen turns black with a flashing white cursor. This problem started on 25 February. Before that day, 22.11.2 Cinnamon desktop successfully operated with 3D accelleration for two months. The following was used to install the 3D accelleration: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:liujianfeng1994/panfork-mesa sudo add-apt-repository ppa:liujianfeng1994/rockchip-multimedia …

Hi, I had to change the Rack 1 HDD because I got an email telling me that this disk was broken. So I ordered new discs to make my replacement. When I put my new disk my problem started. For information my old disk was perfectly visible before I changed it and the led was functional too. I have a strange problem and I'm afraid it's hardware. Currently I have Rack 1 (HDD 1) which no longer detects my disks, there are no more LEDs lighting up, we can clearly hear the HDD lighting up, but it is not visible in the CLI and not via the WebUI. Im using OMV 6.x with kernel 5.15.89 (current) stable RAID 6 with 5 x 8To Have try…

Hi, I just downloaded the newest release of Armbian and flashed into the SD card, it boots up fine from the SD Card. But I wanna install the system into the Samsung PM9A1 SSD, So I followed the instruction on the armbian page, partioned the drive and made a ext4 filesystem. but I got stuck when I tried to boot up from SSD. I hooked up a serial cable and got this information Any idea about this?

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…

Could anyone help me to enable display with Armbian? I just can’t figure out why it doesn’t work. I don’t see the backlight turning on either. What do I have to change? I have tru to add a custom dts on kernel but don't work

Hey there, for quite a while I was using my Station P1 aka T-Firefly ROC-RK3399-PC-PLUS (with a nice case welded around) as crude NAS and wanted to do something new. However for unknown reason I cannot boot from microSD. I am used to that the Armbian boot loader should switch to microSD when detected so other OS can be used. Does not work though. It always starts booting from SPI which is fine in theory and then jumps to eMMC which boots fine. With SD inside it does the same. If I remove the eMMC module u-boot stucks to PXE which obviously fails and then drops to U-Boot shell. I played with that shell for a while including recovery…

The initial installation went fine from the flashed image on SD card, and still works fine. However, after using armbian-config to attempt to transfer the OS and bootloader to the eMMC card, nothing actually changes. It says it formats the card and then goes through the process of transferring the files, or at least it looks like it does. But when I reboot it it's still running on the SD card and no files appear to have been transferred to the eMMC. fstab lists the UUID of the SD card and not the eMMC at all; this is also true of the bootenv section of armbian-config. One thing I did notice is that there are some new directories under /mnt : '/mnt/nand-sata-in…

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. This isn't a novel idea, as shown by these sources: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/9272-development-rk3399-media-script/ https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/66675-36078-transcoding-rockpro64/ I am using Jellying, and in so FFMPEG to decode/encode the data streams.

I don't know where else to share this so I'm putting this here. The board recognizes and tries to the load the driver for an AR9462 QCNA222 M.2 WiFi card, but fails.

Hello, I have been looking for the solution to give access to the GPIO from the PI user for several weeks, does anyone have the solution? For information, I use a RockPI 4B+ under Armbian 22.11.4. Thank you in advance for your help. Regards Laurent

Hello, I have been holding onto kernel 5.10 (5.10.21-rockchip64 to be exact) for a while as it has been pretty stable for me and also because I heard bad feedback from newer kernels on the Helios 64. But with the recent discovery of the DirtyPipe exploit (which has been introduced in Linux 5.8), I might be looking to upgrade to the latest Armbian kernel (which contains a fix to the vulnerability). So, my question to fellow Helios64 users is: have you encountered any issue with kernel 5.15, especially when using OpenMediaVault 5, Docker, MergerFS and NFS?

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?

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.

The Orange Pi desktop still boots but I get system application error. The Orange Pi can see the micro…

Hello There! I'm currently using a Rock 4SE, tagged it as 4B because armbian says I should use the version for the board. I'm using a manually built image of armbian, though without any changes. I'm currently trying to figure out how to get faster boot times on SDDMC. So far: 1 - I've disabled some systemd services. Bluetooth related services have made a big difference. 2 - I've tried to disable USB and network support on U-Boot, though unsuccessful, in order to make U-Boot spend less time before booting the kernel. By applying some patches to U-Boot I got to the point where it either compiles and doesn't start the system because of some …

I know that not all features of legacy vendor kernels can be supported in mainline kernels. However, has anyone considered and/or attempted to get the OTG capability working in a current/mainline kernel? I have a couple different projects where I need to have OTG working so I can have the RockPi 4 be a USB device (e.g. mass storage, ethernet, etc.). For the time being this means I can only use the legacy kernels, but I am hoping that might change in the future. There are a number of different RK3399 boards with DWC3 controllers that could benefit from such a feature being available, right? Since I don't understand the kernel/driver/platform glue…

Hey there, I just joined the ARM universe & to be honest I lost all my skills with Linux. First I tried some official images Armbian_22.11.1_Rockpi-4cplus_jammy_current_5.15.80_xfce_desktop.img & with all of them I got a Blackscreen after the Logo. (all settings were made) Then I a tried a pre-release so I could finally get into armbian. Wifi : I couldn't connect via. wifi, "wifi network could not be found" But it was listed with a good signal strength. BT: no adapter was found. ( I used armconfig to enable BT) USB: just 3 of 4 usb ports were working. ( I guess it was 1x usb 3.0 & 2x usb 2.0) The Rock P…

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.

During installing Helios64 with the latest image I experienced several times that the system did not come up. Now that it is fully installed with OMV enabled, I sometimes do a reboot, and the system does not come up. Unfortunately I cannot see anything on the console level (on MacOS). After pressing the reboot button (around one or two times) the system comes up as nothing happened ever. What can I do to have the system reboot in a stable manner? Since it will sit in the basement soon, I don't want to run down every time I see that it does not reboot properly.

After 2+ years of hard work the fan of my M4V2 (in metal case with NVMe adapter) has stopped with specific burning smell. I ordered the same fan model (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003989901083.html), replaced it and there is no rotation at all. Fan has been controlled by bash script from here: Has anybody got the same story? How it has resolved? My suspicions are on NVMe adapter, through which fan is powered - some draft scheme can be found, showing 5V/12V convertor and P-MOS switch: https://wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/index.php/NVME_SSD_Adapter_for_M4 SBC in this case works well w/o fan (~45 degrees of Celsius) during winter, but …

Hello, I have had a nanopc-t4 and a few others for a long time now. I have tried to create a working dtb for it a few different times.

I tried the "Armbian_22.11.1_Rock-5b_bullseye_legacy_5.10.72.img.xz" image on my Rock 5B. It worked on an SD card, but when I loaded it on an NVME drive on the build in M.2 slot, it worked with neither the SPI Boot image with armbian-install.sh, nor the SPI image from radxa. When I have SPI loaded, and I have the SD Card installed, it just seems to load from the SD Card. When I remove the SD card, and boot the system. It seems to just stay with the LED with the blue and green elements on. I've waited several minutes without it booting. I was able to get it to successfully boot once, but never again.

Hello, Some weeks ago, I installed the "under development" version. File was named Armbian_22.11.0-trunk_Odroidm1_kinetic_edge_6.1.0-rc5.img.xz Now, I see that the "advertised" version is a rolling release armbian 22.11 Jammy. Based on this (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases) page kinetic is an earlier version than jammy. If I scroll down the page ( https://www.armbian.com/odroid-m1/ ) , I see a kinetic rolling weekly release. I suspect that the kinetic is an unstabled release while Jammy 22.11 is. Please can you confirm/explain? If yes, is there a way to "downgrade" to the stable version? Thanks …

Dear all; I'm looking for some help with my Helios64 NAS, since I update kernel to 5.15, zfs-dkms won't work. Which is normal, since the most recent version available for Helios64 of zfs-dkms is 2.0.3-1~bpo10+1 (tested on 1st April 2022), and this version is only compatible with kernel from 3.10 to 5.10. Then the first solution that I thought was to downgrade to 5.10 through the armbian-config tool, however when I'm trying to install the linux-headears (through armbian-config) I'm having the herdears of 5.15 (same issue with apt install linux-headers-current-rockchip64) while zfs-dkms looking for 5.10. Preparing to unpack .../zfs-dkms_2.0.3-1~bpo10+1_all.deb .…

Hello, If I unplug my M1 for the whole night. When I power up It does not start the first time. It stays stuck on the hardkernel splashScreen. If I power cycle, it starts as it should. I'm booting on the SD card and system is on nvme. System is up-to-date. Do you have any idea of what may happen? Thanks Julien

Hi Team, i have a lcd touchscreen android rockchip rk3288 ( armeabi-v7a ) and i want change the OS with armbian and install it on sd card , which image that should i use? regards, Adrian

Hey everyone, i bought a Rock 3A to get an alternative to Raspberri pi. The armbian was the system which is closest to the raspberrian and i'm glad that it works so well. But Videos 720p, 1080p mp4 play horrible bad. When i use the included videoplayer or install vlc and start a video it is laggy and slow and not useable. Is there any additional driver i have to install? Do i have to choose a different encoder? Or is the Rock 3A not capeable of playing Videos? Thank you and best regards.

Hi, I've flashed the Armbian SPI image following these instructions: https://wiki.radxa.com/Rock5/install/spi I've flashed this image: Armbian_22.11.2_Rock-5b_jammy_legacy_5.10.110_gnome_desktop.img.xz to a M.2 NVME SSD I own a DVB-S2 USB 2.0 device from PCTVSystems: https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Pinnacle_PCTV_DVB-S2_Stick_(461e) currently working in a RPi4 with OSMC.

I get static noise on the analog audio out when no sound is playing (I use alsa). I tried to add a configuration file in /etc/modprobe.d which disables power saving (as this appears to be the usual reason for static noise), but this does not work. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Hello, download page for odroid M1 states: I have two questions: - Does that mean that the system will be installed on SD or eMMC? or does that meant booting on SD is just for startup to launch system stored on NVMe (or any other storage)? - Is there a plan for booting from M.2 NVMe M-Key PCIe3.0 2-Lane in the future? Thanks Julien

Hello I just installed armbian (Gnome) on my NVME and all seems to work great (without SD card). So, the first issue I have is the resolution of the screen. I add 2560x1440 (1920x1080 was the maximum before) but the test in this mode not working. I think the cause is than I copy/paste the mode from a post on internet. In fact, cvt is not installed and impossible to calculate mysel the vesa CVT modline. How can I install CVT ? bash: cvt: command not found Thanks a lot Anakin

Hi, I own a nanopi m4 v1, I know there is no more armbian support neither maintainer for this board but I still enjoy "the other supported variants" which work very good for my needs. Until now, I only used armbian on sdcards for my system, but today I tried to install it of my emmc module. Maybe I did somethig stupid, I tried to install the bullseye current cli version from https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-m4/ on my emmc module via armbian-install. So all process of installation was ok (boot on sdcard then armbian-install => erase / format / install on emmc ...), I choose to boot from emmc too (maybe it was a mistake). => After …

Howdy, Just wanted folks to know that debian bullseye is generally getting what I need done. Specially Welcome to Armbian 22.11.1 Bullseye with Linux 5.10.72-rockchip-rk3588 is working. It is working headless just fine. Now what is not working for me. The HDMI is not showing up at all. Between my KVM and ultra wide monitor it may not be an OS issue. SD-card boot is the way I am going. Manual partitioning of the NVME was needed to install. It felt like I needed to reboot a few times to get the NVME to boot. Overall it was a better experience than the experience on the Firefly station P2 competing with Station OS. Thanks…

When using the "boot from SD install to NVMe" option of armbian-config it offered the option to format the NVMe drive with btrfs. When I selected that option, it briefly flashed an error about the partition being too small (even though I had created a 120GB partition). The actual problem appears to have been that btrfs-progs was not installed. After installing that package and rerunning armbian-config it was possible to btrfs format and install successfully. I suggest the error message could be improved. Armbian_22.11.1_Rockpi-4cplus_jammy_current_5.15.80_minimal.img.xz

Would anyone be able to help me out with instructions for installing armbian to the EMMC of my Rock Pi N10? I've had Ubuntu installed using the OTG tool and also Armbian running off an SD card, but as soon as I run armbian-install and reboot the device doesn't come back up. Not sure what I'm doing wrong or the correct steps to troubleshoot.

I just saw the post how to get kodi working with a legacy kernel. I want to get ffmpeg working in a docker (specifically for frigate). Do i also need to install the legacy kernel on my machine and do the same steps and only then get the ffmpeg installed in the docker or can anyone help me how to start with this.

I am trying to provision QEmu/KVM to run a Kubernetes cluster based on Ubuntu Cloud Image instances. I am using the latest release of Armbian on 16GB Rock 5B. Release kernel.

Hi, community! I wish you have a nice day! Started investigating why do I have problems trying to hear something from headphones. So, I believe there is something about HDMI audio codec related to panfrost, attached you will find info about. I guess this will be useful to catch bugs. I'm 73 years old, started on computers on NCR Century 100 as field engineer. From those years to now, a long development has brought to life.... Cheers, and many thanks to you! dmesg112222.txt armbianmonitor112122.txt

tried several armbian images with kernel 5.15.76, no success! even tried to disable SPI flash, although radxa says "no SPI Flash on the board" in contrast to the 4B version official 4.4 radxa image is booting: rockpi-4b-debian-bullseye-xfce4-arm64-20221109-1447-gpt.img can someone send me armbian bullseye image with older kernel?

I installed tvheadend on Armbian 22.08 Jammy and Bullseye using the 5.15 kernel. Tvheadend runs fine for a while and then freezes and disconnects filling the log file with the following message: rock64 kernel : au0828: recv_control_msg() Failed receiving control message, error -71. At first I thought it was a problem with Jammy, but I still had the same problem on Bullseye. So I switched to the legacy kernel 4.4.213-rockchip64 and I do not have the problem. I am using a Rock64 Ver. 2 with usb dvb tuner for tvheadend and it is stable running Bullseye with kernel 4.4.213. I am not sure what changed between these kernel ve…

Hello, i am pretty new to arm embedded. I have a Rock64 V3.0 2019-0626 So I downloaded Armbian 22.08 Jammy XFCE from https://www.armbian.com/rock64/ and copied it on a 265GB SanDisk Extreme microsd XC 1 V30 A2 using Balena Etcher.

The link to nightly builds for the Rockpi 4C+ WIP on https://www.armbian.com/rockpi4/ is broken. (Perhaps it should link directly to https://github.com/armbian/community ?)

Hello, I am new to this forum and struggling with some stuff on the Tinkerboard S R2.0. I use the CLI-version of Armbian Jammy of 23 october 2022. I have to activate several features. I think two of them might relate to 'missing firmware'. 1. Activating a AccessPoint: during the installation of raspAP I get a set of error on 'missing firmware'. 2. Installing a modem: not a single USB-device gets recognized by lsusb. I am stuck at the very beginning. lsusb is working on the xfce but we want a leaner system. I tried the latest TinkerOS but I require a more updated version of python (3.10) and I also would like to stick t…

In distributions that include 4.x series kernels, pcie is detected and the built-in broadcom wireless chip is functional with the wl driver. I would like to move to a 5.x series kernel, but I noticed that pcie is not detected at all, and though wifi is detected with the brcmfmac driver, it will not function to scan or connect to anything. I grabbed the latest image from this week (have tried many previous, including building my own armbian image) but no luck. Has anyone gotten these items to work with a 5 series kernel?

Hello, I recently bought a Rock 3A and trying to use Armbian, I am very newbie in this area. I tried few options available (22.08.2 Jammy & Sid) for Rock 3A from here but in all of them the boot fails and falls into endless initramfs Can you give me a hint what could be cause of this?

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.

By pure accident, I discovered that Ctrl-Alt-F1 while the P2 is booting brings up more options on mine that allows the deletion of firmware and clearing of emmc. I have not done it but the menus are there.

Howdy With a p2 that already had ubuntu installed on the ssd using the firefly technique, it seemed time to upgrade using to armbian. Installing the new uboot went fine. It is not clear how to confirm it. The command did not error. However using the jammy 22.08 images, the uuid does not appear to be on the SD card. At this time I do not have a serial cable. However the image shows sum of the situation. Any help appreciated including advice on rj45 to serial cable. Thanks.

I'm trying to get this rockpro64 board to boot off of pxe/nfs. I'm able to get it to boot into armbian and to the point where it asks for the new root password. But something happens on the device where the network gets disabled which stops the NFS connectivity and the rest of the system with it. All traffic stops on the device and it becomes unreachable. NFS traffic stops, it no longer responds to pings, etc. It's not entirely frozen, for example it prints kernel messages to console if the ethernet is pulled. And after a few minutes the nfs connection times out and it starts printing this over and over. It always happens about 75 seconds…

Hi guys. I've been working with the 4.19 kernel before on M2. I upgraded to the kernel version 5.18 today. I found that I can't find the registered udc device anymore. This is auto-registered on the 4.19 kernel and you can find it under /sys/class/udc. root@station-m2:/boot# ls /sys/class/udc fcc00000.dwc3 I would like to ask how to enable the udc device on the 5.18 kernel. Thank you.

The instructions at the P2 page cannot be followed. The image at the link does not contain the p2-station-update-uboot script. I have tried using the Station OS multi-boot thing but that didn't work either. What is the correct way to do it now?

Is it possible to enable support for this device? I flashed this device with Orange Pi 4 firmware, but Wi-Fi and Bluetooth do not work there.

I accidentally ripped off a capacitor from the back of the Helios64. This missing capacitor is right below the SATA connector. I searched for the schematic of the board without any success. Does anyone happen to know the value and size of this capacitor?

I'm sick of having to play reset-it-until-it-boots-then-it-reboots-later game, anyone know a similar motherboard I can use in place of the helios64 with minimal extra messing around? I totally understand that the front and back panel will be a problem to set up, I just don't want to have to hack the main case part, and have support for the five SATA ports.
