Hello Armbian Community, I am currently running the following image on my Orange Pi 5 Max: Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.668_Orangepi5-max_noble_edge_7.0.0-rc6_kde-neon_desktop Unfortunately, I'm struggling with WiFi and Bluetooth issues: WiFi: No wireless interfaces are detected (no option in network settings). Bluetooth: The service is active, but it cannot scan or find any devices. What I’ve tried so far: Installed armbian-firmware and full-mirror-armbian-firmware. Verified that common wireless tools and relative packages are up to date. Checked rfkill list, but the adapters don't seem to be initialized correctly. …

Hello, Is there a way (maybe using sysfs) in Linux to manage the brightness of the LED in the front of the NAS ? I found no information about this in the wiki: https://wiki.kobol.io/helios64/led/ or https://wiki.kobol.io/helios64/front-panel/ Thanks.

is there anyway to enable 1-wire, SPI3, and I2C3 interfaces? I have a hard time to deal with the overlay, but noting seems to be working.

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 downloaded the latest Armbian 22.08 image for the NanoPi M4V2 (https://armbian.chi.auroradev.org/dl/nanopim4v2/archive/Armbian_22.08.8_Nanopim4v2_jammy_current_5.15.75.img.xz), flashed it to an sd card and tried to boot my NanoPi M4 (non-V2 board). It crashes every time with the attached log. I have tried 4 different power supplies, so I don't think that's the issue. I tried the Bullseye CLI image and it fails in the same way. The Sid server image works fine. Any ideas? Thanks, Ben

My plan is as follows: - Insert SD card. - Make a clone / back-up of boot and system using armbian-config whenever I'm about to do something major. (boot and system are both on eMMC) - "unclick" SD card and leave it in the back. - (repeat, until something breaks, and then just insert it and restore using armbian-config if something goes wrong.) I am confused by the eMMC to SD card path though. Here's some context: ❯ lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT loop0 7:0 0 86.6M 1 loop /snap/core/10578 loop1 7:1 0 178.2M 1 loop /snap/microk8s/1866 loop2 7:2 0 86.6M 1 loop /s…

Hi all, I'm trying to get Bluetooth working with the M4 ( installed it via armbian-config ) but on checking the status I see this

Since there is a thread about adding ZFS support to the U-Boot build, I thought I'd post a similar request for btrfs. I was looking through the helios u-boot repo a few days ago and noticed that it isn't built with btrfs support. While I could make a separate ext4 /boot partition, it would be convenient to have the entire eMMC formatted as btrfs. This allows for me to make easy and fast backups using btrfs send/receive, and also allows for snapshotting prior to upgrades (via e.g. snapper), and rolling back to a different snapshot at boot. My turris onmia router uses u-boot with btrfs native root, and I've used the snapshot rollback support a couple of times. They…

Hello, I have installed a tinkerboard 2S and used it without problems for more than a year now. Today I started Armbian-upgrade to upgrade the system.I use a M2 WIFI card. What happens right after the reboot when the upgrade was done; the system boots normally, showing all information on the monitor, and about 5 seconds after the login prompt is displayed, it completely freezes. That is; the system doesn't react to keypresses on my USB keyboard, and SSH access isn't reacting. I can ping the device however and I know it is not dead as my .NET core application is running normally and I can access it externally! I use a wifi hotspot configuration; the wifi n…

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?

My Orange Pi 4B has gone to community support. After an overheat with a compilation, the ssd dies, and I reflashed to the new community version Armbian_community_24.8.0-trunk.399_Orangepi4_noble_current_6.6.40_gnome-oibaf_desktop Anyway I got no HDMI output so I left it running, and suddenly I got a new device on the network.

https://github.com/sigmaris/u-boot First I tried the mainline uboot v2022.04 version and the sigmaris uboot, in the uboot command line I executed the nvme info command and found no nvme devices available. https://github.com/radxa/u-boot Since the radxa version does not have the relevant configuration files for nanopc-t4, the compilation and testing of the radxa version is abandoned. Is the patch in this thread for the mainline v2020.04 release? @piter75 @Hover

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

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

Hello, I updated to Armbian 26.2.1 trixie installaed on emmc. If I poweroff the nas and power on again it does't work, but if I attach an usb cable to the console it works. I think the problem must be related to the u-boot part.

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

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

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

Hello, I update my Orange PI 4 with the update Armbian 21.02.1 Focal and I was surprided to see the maximum CPU (A72) frequency is now limited to 1.8GHz. In previous version, this maximum frequency was 2GHz. Is it normal or is it a regression ? Thank you in advance for your help !

Hi, I am posting this here to notify you about the serious networking performance issue on my Rockpi 4B board. Ever since I installed the Trixie release, the networking on the board has been poor/not working at all.

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

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

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

Hello I was finishing setting up my Helios64 (system installed on emmc) with Openmediavault (luks + snapraid + mergerfs + samba) on 3 disks, everything was working and I thought I should reboot to make sure that it is indeed the case (especially making sure that luks locked disks would not be an issue).

Hi, I have major issues with my helios64 / ZFS setup - maybe anyone can give me a good hint. I'm running the following system: Linux helios64 5.9.14-rockchip64 #20.11.4 SMP PREEMPT Tue Dec 15 08:52:20 CET 2020 aarch64 GNU/Linux I have a three WD 4TB Plus disk - on each disk is encrypted with luks. The three encrypted disks are bundled into a raidz1 zpool "archive" using zfs. Basically this setup works pretty good, but with rather high disc usage, e.g. during a scrub, the whole pool degrades due to read / crc errors. As example: zpool status -x pool: archive state: DEGRADED status: One or more devices are faulted in response to persisten…

I have installed Armbian_24.5.1_Orangepi5_noble_vendor_6.1.43_gnome-oibaf_desktop.img on orangepi 5 pro. I found that it cannot recognize the m.2 SATA disk. Is there any solution to this? thanks very much.

I got the Helios64 and was running it from an external SD card so far since when I first installed it, the other options where not available, yet. I'm running openmediavault 5.5 (Armbian 20.11.6 Buster with Linux 5.9.14-rockchip64). Now, I wanted to move the system to a SSD and installed a "Crucial MX500 1TB CT1000MX500SSD4" according to https://wiki.kobol.io/helios64/m2/ Unfortunately, the SSD is not detected by the system, see output of dmesg below. For ata1, it only shows SATA link down. Is there anything I can do to figure out what the problem is? Or is there any reason why this particular SSD would not work? ~$ dmesg | grep ata [ 0.000000] M…

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 …

Hi, could we add tag and section for Orange Pi 5 Max? I looked at the forum and couldnt find it here.

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.

Hello Armbian Team, I am experiencing some difficulties with my Orange Pi 5 Ultra. Currently, there is no Armbian distribution available for this board. Although official Debian/Ubuntu images are provided on the Orange Pi website, none of them include the latest NPU driver (RKNPU 0.9.8). Since Orange Pi 5 Ultra has hardware similarities with Orange Pi 5 Max, I was wondering if it would be possible to release an Armbian version for this board as well. An official Armbian release would be highly beneficial for developers and users who require a stable and optimized OS for this hardware. Would it be possible to consider adding support for Oran…

Hi, my company have commissioned at an external company ti develop a device based on rk3399. The external company have returned a device with a Debian 10 Linux image for the device. We are not satisfied about its the Debian distro maded by the external company because the UI it is not perfect. Sometimes, by moving forms, a little part of the display is not repainted correctly or sometimes a portion of a form disappear. So the question is: wich is the right way to build a Debian distro ourself? I have tryed ubuntu fiendlyarm. The os starts, I can enter by ssh but nothing appear on the display so, wich is the righ way to manage the hardware configuration of a custom d…

Is there a reason this is turned off? From linux-rockchip64-current.config: # # CD-ROM/DVD Filesystems # # CONFIG_ISO9660_FS is not set # CONFIG_UDF_FS is not set # end of CD-ROM/DVD Filesystems Whereas most other configs have this enabled as modules. For example, in linux-sunxi64-current.config: # # CD-ROM/DVD Filesystems # CONFIG_ISO9660_FS=m CONFIG_JOLIET=y # CONFIG_ZISOFS is not set CONFIG_UDF_FS=m # end of CD-ROM/DVD Filesystems

I was wondering if the Armbian 11 Bullseye release would get a release candidate for the following ppa's for Panfrost: ppa:liujianfeng1994/panfork-mesa ppa:liujianfeng1994/rockchip-multimedia Because I was really hoping to use Debian over Ubuntu for my purposes of familiarizing myself with the distro, but only Jammy so far has a candidate for these. I also tried manually installing the Panfrost/Panfork drivers on Bullseye and only got it working once before borking my entire system, and I cannot replicate it. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated, as the GPU acceleration on Jammy is simply amazing!

So now I am playing with Rock64 4GB. I installed the Armbian_5.65 server edition OS and then installed xorg, lxde, and lxdm., then rebooted into a working system. Final stage of setting up was to test rhythmbox_3.4.2 and there was no sound. pavucontrol > playback shows the app is running and the worm is leaping about, but absolutely no sound. Same playing a .wav file with mpv, or indeed any player. Is there something unusual about the audio socket, or some other limitation. armbianmonitor -u = http://ix.io/ltt0

I deal with a problem I cant solve with installing my usb printer Samsung ML-2160. CUPS recognise it but it doesn't have the exact driver (it recomends ML-2152WPS I think, but it doesn't work as I cant print anything after the the installation) I tried from HP download directly a ULD but when I try to run the install.sh it gives a message about ARM architecture expected (although there is a directory for ARM architecture under the install.sh file) Any ideas?

Orangepi 5B 1. The armbian with sd card can not detect orangepi 5b emmc disk 2. with orangei5b official image and boot , write the armbian image to emmc , can not boot into UI desktop and drop into inicramfs shell.

Hi, I try to get my NanoPC-T4 a second life. Therefore I want to (re-) install Armbian but I'm stuck Andi don't know why. I uses USBFlasher to flash the minimal Armbian on it (tried compressed and uncompressed) but the green blinking light indicates me, that he found no bootable device. I tried different images as well. Also differen SD cards, even DietPi image, always the same. The only thing which runs instant is one of the eflasher Images of FriendlyARM. I also tried to change the image that the eflasher writes to the eMMC (by copy the uncompressed .img file to the SD card and renamed it to armbian.raw and changed the config file as the wiki said)…

I have a Rock Pi4 B (rk3399) and I do not find the solution to use my native screen resolution with the latest kernel: 1600x1200. It was working fine with Armbian Bionic Legacy kernel 4.4. However, despite my tinkering, I do not find how to make it work with the latest kernel (option is not available in the Display Setting, xrandr manipulation did not give any success). Any pointer towards a solution would be greatly appreciated. Below the output of xrandr for the two images I ran.

When you do gdisk -l /dev/mmcblk1 or fdisk -l you can se that the partition table that armbian is using is MBR (dos). Is any particular reason for this? When you go to the new and improved firefly rk3399 manual page you can see it is making problem when flashing through USB-C cable and upgrade_tool v. 1.24 and v. 1.34 (GBT friendly) http://wiki.t-firefly.com/en/Firefly-RK3399/flashing-notes.html .

I have a project developed on Rock 4C+ v1.2 board. Now there is only v1.41 board available and Armbian is not booting on it at all, no matter it's compiled locally, or it's downloaded from the official sources. UART debug is producing unreadable sequence. So far, what I’ve tried: - I’ve built Armbian with the latest changes armbian build repo - hasn't helped - I’ve used rk3399-rock-4c-plus.dtb file instead of rk3399-rock-pi-4c-plus.dtb, dunno why there are two, but somewhere on the forum I read that this one without “pi” is the right one - hasn't helped - official Armbian images - not booting - Ubuntu and Debian - both booting fin…

rk3588-pcie_bifurcation_2x2-uboot.patchrk3588-pcie_bifurcation_2x2.patch Attached are two patches I've prepared. One for uBoot (to correctly recognize split pcie3x4 to two independent controllers, pcie3x4 and pcie3x2), and one for DT of NanoPC T6. This basically allows you to use trimmed-down bifurcation adapter. The adapter in question must be trimmed down/cut to fit on the back of the board. Tested with 2x NVME, and 1xNVME and QCNFA765 wireless card. I'll post photos later once I'll disconnect the board again from my setup. BEWARE!!! If you'd plan to use more than one ath11k wireless card, you'd need QRTR patch. Since the SBL …

Hi, the latest Bionic Legacy Desktop images for NanoPi M4 V2 (Armbian_20.05.2_Nanopim4v2_bionic_legacy_4.4.213_desktop.img.xz and Armbian_20.05.1_Nanopim4v2_bionic_legacy_4.4.213_desktop.img.xz) do not boot on the board. No green LED. No video output at all. I haven't checked UART. The latest working image is Armbian_20.02.7_Nanopim4v2_bionic_legacy_4.4.213_desktop.7z I have a good power supply (12V 2A, also tried with USB 5V 3A), and a good MicroSD card (high endurance). I did not forget to unXZ the new image file and write it with dd, just as 20.02.7 7z. I've checked the checksum of written data on the MicroSD card, and it equals to the checksu…

I am downloading three different builds from 6.12 for orange pi 5. I have an orange pi 5 pro but since there is not dtb entry in 6.12 for that sbc in the Armbian 25.8.1 6.12.28 dtb file I used the orange pi 5b.dtb entry which works with the Armbian 25.8.1 6.1.115 images. The result is that the initramfs cant find a root disk - and when checking for drives in initramfs - there are none ls /dev/disks/by-uuid. So the initramfs file isn't running correctly as its not finding drives. I went back and loaded Armbian_24.8.1_Rock-5c-trixid_current_6.12.42_minimal.image and that boots up to root login. However if I change the card type to orangepi-5b. I cann…

Is there a specific reason why orangepi cm5 isn't supported? Or is it simply because nobody has contributed? Because I am willing to add support for it if there aren't any serious issues when building armbian for this board. The webpage for the board is currently empty. I see two issues when using Armbian on orangepi cm5: 1. The ethernet and the fan won't work. There is a device tree published by Laurent Pinchart that may fix this. 2. armbian-install bricks the board. The only way to recover the device is by enabling maskrom and using rkdeveloptool to flash a new image. Other than these Armbian seems to work fine on orangepi cm5. …

Hello, I have been able to boot the offical debian image recommend for the rock pi 5b from a NVME SSD. This is after updating the SPI using the windows software. I now cant seem to get armbian to boot from NVME or SD card. I have serial access to the Rock 5b and get the following see attached. Anyone able to point me in the correct direction. I think i need to flash the rock pi so it boots from SD once more. Thanks Matt Rock 5b Armbian fail.txt

Radxa's github page indicates that the aic8800 wifi modules were updated a while ago to facilitate use with kernels 6.12 and 6.13. I don't see that the aic8800-sdio-dkms_3.0+ module works on the Rock 3c, in spite of the latest update. See my dkms build log below. The net result is no wifi on the Rock 3c with current Armbian kernels. @amazingfate - I noticed that you worked on these modules in the past, would you be able to assist?

I can't get my 5B to recognise the Coral USB Accelerator. lsusb doesn't show anything but does when I attach a USB storage device. I've installed libedgetpu1-std with a validated gpg key but nothing happens - the led on the device doesn't even turn on. Do I need to install a special USB driver or something into the kernel ?

Hi, I am using Armbian_19.11.3_Rockpi-4b_buster_current_5.3.11_desktop. Facing issue when trying to use USB devices in the upper USB 3 port on a Rock Pi 4 v1.3. This port also supports USB OTG.

I don't know if it's of any use. Just noticed this issue of reboot not working on Buster legacy. Seems to be hdmi related. When I pull out hdmi for a few seconds then it does start booting. I remember this used to be the same on bionic mainline. Don't know why it's here now. I'm on NanoPi M4V2.

Hello! First off, thanks for the amazing product you all have created - huge props to everyone who contributes! I have been trying to get Armbian completely working on my Orange Pi 5b for a week now. Most notably: WiFi. Just a few moments ago I set up a new build of Armbian again, on an empty SD card. The one from https://www.armbian.com/orangepi-5/, Armbian 23.5 Jammy Gnome, as the more recent builds' armbian-config don't seem to have an option to enable overlays. After doing the default setup (user, locale, and it asks for "connect via wifi?" but shows no WiFi devices), I ran armbian-config. I go to System -> Hardware, b…

I have recently started working with a NanoPi R2S. I have it booting from the built-in microSD. However, I would like to be able to boot off of USB. When I interrupt u-boot and start USB on the board, it finds the hub but does not seem to find *any* device. I have tried various USB sticks of different sizes and brands, and a few ordinary devices such as a mouse. Nothing. Is this a known problem? Should it be able to work? Thanks

I simply can not figure out why UART4 at GPIO1 header with the pins 19 (TX) and 21 (RX) not working at all. I see that here (ttyS2) is running an agetty but there is no serial activity at any baudrate (9600, 115200). Please help me.

Hello together, i experienced network problems with Helios64 and latest Debian Buster Image. I cannot setup a static ip address after installation of OMV5, moreover it crashes on install. I double checked it on a fresh image without any changes and an immediate installation of OMV over softy. The result is the same. After the crash OMV is in fact available, but the network configuration is broken and a static setup doesnt work over the OMV UI, nor armbian-config, also the boot takes about 2-5 minutes due to whatever reason. armbianmonitor http://ix.io/2PPJ

Hello, I have a Helio64 not yet configured and I would like to be able to install the latest image available on https://armbian.hosthatch.com/dl/helios64/archive/ and especially to install the latest OpenMediaVault 6 version.

As I write this post, the latest image available for Helios64 is Armbian_21.05.9_Helios64_bullseye_current_5.10.63.img.xz I thank you for your help Flolm

Hello since kernel 6.12 led (heartbeat and mmc activity) on board rock64 don't work. I've created issue in dietPI github: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/7618 but DietPI is using armbian kernel. Now I'm using recent armbian with kernel 6.11.0-edge-rockchip64. Any idea how to restore led activity on recent kernels?

Hello, I received my Helios NAS last week, I installed armbian on eMMC with no issues. But I have a issue with my ssd and hdd. When I plug in my 5 HDD + my SSD, I only see 4 HDD ...

I just installed Armbian 5.88 for Rock Pi 4B and bluetooth is not working. I'm using ARMBIAN 5.88 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.4.180-rockchip64 Do you need further information? Got it working without compiling the new kernel. i manually ran the last steps of https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/sources/rockchip64.conf and copied rk3399-bluetooth.service and brcm_patchram_plus_rk3399 onto the device and set up the service... after a reboot Bluetooth is working fine. Thats great!

This overlays settings worked well until I have compiled my own .dtbo file and call it with overlay=..xyz... , after that all yet working overlays stopped working, even if I removed them. The boot process now skips this overlay settings. After examination, I have found file "/boot/boot.scr" and "/boot/dtb-5.4.44-rockchip64/rockchip/overlay/rockchip-fixup.scr" had some garbage characters at beginning. I didn't change anything, neither I did open them before, those files simply got garbage. After deleting the garbage chars, it won't boot anymore. Before I had tried also spi-spidev and spi-nor
