Other families

Been dreaming of this one for a while. Finally got a weekend to focus on it recently. I'm hoping someone is eager to take what I've done and move It along some more. Here's what we have so far. * a linux 'family' called virtual.conf * a kernel config called linux-virtual-current.config * a board called virtual-qemu.wip The result is a full HVM accelerated armbian image with a kernel compiled with all the virtio drivers for disk, network and video. Also a u-boot.bin made for qemu that can boot the image when used as the qemu bios/firmware I've ran it as a VM on ubuntu using plain qemu on a Ampere eMag box.. and using UTM (qem…

Hi all, In the review of the Fire3 at least one person mentions powering this board via something other than the MicroUSB. This would allow me to use the serial console that's supposedly exposed over that port instead of wiring up yet another USB to serial converter. What I can't work out is a) which pin/s are used to power it, and b) what kind of power supply is used. I'd rather not fry the board (it'll do that itself under load) so can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

Just wondering if anyone has booted the latest cubox-i test images with kernel 4.9.5 ? I tried the last couple of days with no joy; however I have not got around to full logs / troubleshooting. It looks like it is getting into u-boot OK but then not finding the dtb and drops to the u-boot shell.

Until yesterday my humminboard 1 i2ex worked without any flaws. Now after a restart I cannot access it via ssh anymore. I thought the Ip adress my have changed somehow cause I also restarted my router but it under active clients in router webif either. Also no video output via hdmi...guess that's normal since it's a debian server image. What I can see is the uboot showing up the count down, just quick, I could read ..wrong image format..and something with source.. that's it. Then screen turns black. I have the rootfs on msata ssd and if I remember correctly I removed all other unnecessary files from micro sd card many month ago. I…

Hello, I installed rpi-monitor via the debian micro home server script. It's nice, especially cpu load and ram usage but I don't get the right temperature of the cpu. Here's a screenshot. Any idea how I can fix that?

Hi: I recently installed Buster xfce desktop on Cubox i4pro. Everything works great, except I can not power off cubox. I tried various commands, shutdown -h now; systemctl poweroff; and hatl; but the system first appears to halt, where I can not ping the ip addrss of cubox, but then it reboots. Is there some way to powerfoff cubox? My current system is nightly, but I also tried stable with latest kernel. $ uname -r 5.10.21-imx6 $ cat /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Armbian 21.08.0-trunk.26 Buster"

Could someone list the differences between the i.MX6 based CuBoxes? I've seen this ones mentioned: CuBox-i1 CuBox-i2 CuBox-i2eX Cubox-i 4x4 CuBox-i4Pro CuBoxTV Are there more?

Hello, Recently I bought a nanopi fire 3 and installed armbian without any issue (Armbian_5.91_Nanopifire3_Debian_buster_next_4.14.133). The first thing I did was to connect the nanopi to my ADSL router in order to complete the basic configuration. Everything worked fine. Then I connected the nanopi to an Edimax gigabit ethernet switch and here is where the network problems appeared. The ethernet connection was too slow, with ping times of more than 1000ms, and an unstable behavior that made it almost impossible to connect via ssh. 64 bytes from 192.168.22.12: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1004 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.22.12: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=1…

Hey All, First, a big thank you to Igor and all who work hard to get armbian out to the masses Second, setting NODM_ENABLED=false NODM_USER=some_user in /etc/default/nodm as per the instructions here: http://www.armbian.com/documentation/ - section 'How to login?' doesn't seem to work for me on my cubox i4pro. I turns out that /etc/default/nodm gets overwritten with the default root values on each boot. This causes lightDM to misbehave and bugger up the Xserver. I see Xcursor drawing artefacts and the LightDM UI widgets poke through into the root autologin desktop. Even without lightDM installed and /etc/default/nodm set as follows: …

Hi. I had to force my way through the upgrade script working. I haven't rebooted yet, but I'm crossing my fingers . Here are the three issues: 1. cubox-i shows as "unsupported" and the script dies. /proc/cpuinfo shows: Hardware : Freescale i.MX6 ... ...which isn't in the list in the script. 2. The script crashes and can't handle the situation where the apt-get upgrade prompts you about configuration files. For example, my /etc/bash.bashrc was different than the packaged version. The script won't take input and hangs. I see the "-y" in the script, but for some reason it doesn't seem to work right. 3. /boot/script.bin - a symlink is made to a none…

Hi. I have a bunch of HummingBoard2 boards that have been used by a company called Vivo. Basically they allow schools to transfer video through Ethernet to monitors and projectors. I also want to do this but Vivi is a subscription based system so that SUX! I therefore want to blow Vivi away and load a clean Armbian. My issue is that the boards have no SD cards soldered to the board. They have power, 2xUSB, RJ45, HDMI connectors. They must therefore boot from eMMC. I found info on the board manufactures website., SolidRun, on how to use jumpers to select boot type. It was set to eMMC so I set it to USB and flashed a SD card with Armbian 20.20 and rebooted…

I am using your Debian (wheezy) on a SolidRun Hummingboard-i2eX. uname -a Linux cubox-i 3.14.14-cubox-i #2 SMP Mon Aug 31 19:36:11 CDT 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux In /dev, it looks like there are two IMX serial devices: ls -l /dev/ttymxc* crw-rw---T 1 root dialout 207, 16 Feb 4 2001 /dev/ttymxc0 crw-rw---T 1 root dialout 207, 19 Feb 4 2001 /dev/ttymxc3 I can send/receive data from /dev/ttymxc0 (uart1) by using pin 8 (Tx) and pin 10 (Rx) of the 26-pin header on the board. But how can I access /dev/ttymxc3 (uart4)? Is there a pin somewhere on the board that I can connect to so I that I can send serial input to uart4? Thank you.

Hello, all, I am trying to confirm the actual status of UART support on the Banana Pi BPI-R4. Does the hardware UART work reliably and appear as a character device (e.g., /dev/uart*) under Armbian Linux? Also, what is the maximum baud rate supported by this port? And one more question: Does Armbian support the Quectel EP06 modem (LTE, mini PCIe)? Thank you in advance, SY, Serge

It was the only image I could get working. The 25.02 doesn't boot, the older versions from the archive 23.8.1 don't work either for some reason. Unfortunately I deleted the image and the rolling release moved on to 25.02.

Hi, Is there anyone out there who could explain why I cannot do any upgrade on my Cubox i4 anymore? On boot it looks like this: [ 0 security updates available, 9 updates total: apt upgrade ] Last check: 2017-11-26 04:06 Thanks!

I finally got my Udoo Dual up and running with Mainline 4.4 Xenial Next and I was wondering how I go about getting the arduino environment back on to it. I downloaded the arm version from arduino and it sees the correct serial port but how do I access it within arduino. I updated the board package to include the Udoo boards but when I hit upload, it says bossac tools are unavailable for my board? What do I need to do to fix this? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Anyone get ArduinoIDE working on armbian for the Udoo quad? When I try to upload a sketch, i see a java exception for bossac - no such file or directory (when i try to run bossac -h, same error) Edit - the error above was for Udoo's 1.5.8 version. I tried 1.5.4, and now I get errors trying to create GPIO0 and GPIO117 (direction & value).

Hi Igor, Thanks for your great work with Armbian. I'm currently using your Armbian4.90 for my Hummingboard Edge v2 (dual), as the newest that does not hang on PCIe initialization. Unfortunately, the OV5640 MIPI module is not compiled in this version (it is compiled in all later versions of kernel 3.14.60). Have you kept an archive all the versions of your kernel source? Is there any way to get it so we can add and compile a specific module? Of course, I would prefer if the latest 3.14 kernel could not hang with the PCIe adapter initializing, but this seems to be a pretty difficult issue... I tried the latest one available on the official Armbian site (5.00)…

Hi there! I recently installed Armbian (Stretch: Armbian_5.83_Nanopifire3_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.115) on my new NanoPi Fire3. I was able to boot, but it responds so slow, that it is unusable! For example, when I SSH into it, it takes a log time to show me the login prompt. When I enter the username and press enter, it takes about 5 seconds to ask me for password. When I enter password, it takes about 10 seconds to show me the Armbian banner. I wasn't even able to go past the changing of unix password on first login, because it just "froze". I have installed the image twice on my SD card, just to make sure it isn't a corrupted install.…

Hello! I'm trying to boot latest releases of of Armbian (following images: Armbian_21.02.3_Cubox-i_buster_current_5.10.21.img and Armbian_21.02.3_Cubox-i_focal_current_5.10.21.img) on a Solid-Run Hummingboard2 Gate V1.4 board.

Hi, I'm trying to generate an Armbian image for a custom board. I generated configuration files for card and family, with the necessary information for u-boot and kernel. I need to have separate boot partition in FAT and I added BOOTFS_TYPE="fat". Using the compile.sh in the Armbian "build" repo I get an image, but flashing it on the sdcard does not start uboot. In the boot partition I find not only the kernel and dtb, but also the u-boot scripts. How do you generate an image that contains everything correctly? Thanks in advance Riccardo

Hello, I have recently tried a more recent kernel 5.10.x for my HummingBoard with imx6 solo. After playing with GPU/OpenGL acceleration I have noticed that there is no H.264/MJPEG Video acceleration present in the kernel. The video codec Chips&Media 960 driver module (kernel option VIDEO_CODA) is simply not build in. Why is that? Can it be enabled by default for future IMX6 builds? Thanks for your support!!

Greetings; I have downloaded this https://dl.armbian.com/cubox-i/Noble_current_server and verified that I got what I was supposed to (ASC, SHA). I have used a brand new usbimager to install it on various freshly formatted (brand new SD Formatter) and verified working Samsung Evo 32GB, SanDisk Extreme Plus 16GB, Extreme Plus 32GB. All the formatting, imaging and installation done on an Ubuntu 25.04 laptop. After usbimager is done, if I use the Ubuntu Disks application to look at the drive, the first partion shows as free space, which seems suspicious. When I insert the newly-set up SD cards in the Cubox-i4, I see …

Hi everybody, I'm new here and I would like to ask you for help with make armbian work on other board - Toradex Colibri iMX6DL with freescale iMX6 processor. They already have U-boot & Angstrom linux on NAND (where I would like to get armbian). They have meta-packages and images available for download on their website and I would like to know what is the best way to make it work (to keep their HW configuration)? I like these boards because of good desing and good HW, but this Angstrom linux isn't good... Thank you for every advice

Hi, I run ARMBIAN 5.25 stable Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 4.9.12-cubox and use an external DAC connected to USB. Additionally and or comparison purposes I use ARMBIAN 5.25 stable Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 4.4.51-udoo .

Hi all, sorry if my question is stupid but I would like to use ARMBian on this Keith & Koep board. I know that there are different problems with serial configuration and that may prevent u-boot to start. I would like to know if I can regenerate easily an ISO adaptating the hardware with custom device tree .... Which repositories should I clone ? Thanks for your support Kind regards Jerome

Hello, for the past few days I've been trying to install k3s on a Jetson Nano machine with the legacy Kernel 4.9, which I managed to recompile with EBPF support, but it seems there are some Kernel EBPF errors. So, I tried to install Armbian, which also doesn't have EBPF support compiled into the Kernel. I've tried to boot from many images from the Jetson Nano archive on the Armbian site, but none of them work. Is there any documentation on how I could compile the kernel on Armbian - Jetson Nano machine? Why can't I boot from any of the Armbian - Jetson Nano images from the archives? I have updated the legacy OS from Nvidia with the latest drivers boot loaders …

Foreward: Not sure if this better fits in board bring up, but I can't post there, so feel free to move if appropriate. I'm looking into the feasibility of using the Armbian build system to generate OS images for the Avnet MicroZed board. This board is based on the Xilinx Zynq 7000 platform, which is a SoC made up of a dual core 500 MHz CPU, and a Artix-7 generation FPGA. The CPU is nothing to write home about, but the FPGA opens up an interesting array of possibilities. Just in case you need an ARM board with 100+ GPIO, over two dozen serial ports, or your own function generator. Really, you're limited only by pin count, FPGA fabric usage, and what you can man…

Hi all, I got my hands on an Odroid XU4 and wanted to use it as a replacement for my RPi 3 for all my amateur radio related stuff. Unfortunately all of the AX25 kernelmodules have been left out of official builds. I have a commit ready to add them back, yet I am not sure what the actual process is to submit a PR. As I understood I need to open an issue first yet I cannot figure out which category this fits in. I attached a patch file for current kernel. Thank You, Geoffrey ax25.patch

I don't see it specifically listed, but does Armbian run on the Beaglebone black?

I'm thinking of getting https://www.beagleboard.org/boards/beagley-ai I see there is this page for it https://www.armbian.com/beagley-ai/ I also see references to it in the code: https://github.com/search?q=org%3Aarmbian+beagley&type=code Are there any pre-built images available for it? Or would I have to build one?

I've been trying to make work bluetooth in my cubox-i last months but it was not possible. I have mate desktop and I installed blueman-manager but it says 'device needs to be turned on'. I try to do it but nothing happens. I wonder if I am missing any tool or driver to make it work. By other hand I configured the swap partition and I can see the system says now I have 4.1GB as swap but also it says is using 0% any time, it doesn't matter if I have million websites opened or many applications working. So I wonder if that's normal or there is something wrong. Thanks.

Hi, I tried everything: I downloaded wheezy isos, Jessie.... with GUI, no GUI and then I installed by myself..... solid-run isos and armbian isos.... just clean system... burn the iso in a sdcard and run the system.... if it has already GUI I install blueman and test bluetooth and wifi.... perfect. If doesn't have gui then I install one (I tried xfce and mate), then blueman and test bluetooth and wifi.... perfect. then 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' and bluetooth stops working Any reason for that and any tip?

Hi, I just tried last Debian iso from solidrun where bluetooth is working. It is the only issue I have with my Cubox-i 4x4 working with debian from armbian. But there is always a but..... I can't copy the system to the hard drive and make it work after reboot, only works from sd card. So my point is How can I use the benefits of armbian (it's tools) on another iso where drivers look work fine? thanks.

Hi. I am working with an Olinuxino A20 micro, but I have issues with the SPI bus. I hope somebody can help me to find a solution. I used Armbian 23.5 Bookworm with kernel 6.1 In sclk signal i have a pulse before to start the data transmission, I required the SPI to communicate a LoRa module but the pulse before of data generate that doesn´t work the LoRa module. I attached the signals.

Hello everyone, I am a beginner in Linux. I have a Hummingboard i2ex and I am running Armbian_5.30_Cubox-i_Ubuntu_xenial_4.11.4_desktop on it. Trying to use a CSI Tool, I have to compile and install this kernel : https://github.com/xieyaxiongfly/Atheros-CSI-Tool.git Here are the steps that I did on the Hummingboard: ( you can see the tutorial: http://pdcc.ntu.edu.sg/wands/Atheros/document/Atheros-CSI-Tool-User-Guide.pdf ) 1) sudo apt-get install git (to clone the source) 2) sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev (to run makemenuconfig) 3) git clone https://github.com/xieyaxiongfly/Atheros-CSI-Tool.git 4) Enter the dir ~/Atheros…

Good Morning, I am running into an issue when trying to compile an image for a SM8250 device. Most of the process is working fine until it gets to the Grub Section, at which point I get the following error: " cp: cannot stat '/usr/lib/linux-image-6.18.24-current-sm8250/qcom/sm8250-retroidpocket-rp5.dtb': No such file or directory" I have attached the logs, and would love to know if anyone has had a similar issue when trying to build an image for any device, and if so what you have done to solve it. Thanks all in advance for the support

Hi Igor, I want to compile a new kernel on HB.

Hey guys, since noone seems to care at the solid-run forum, I ask here. I would like to compile SDL2 with opengles and vivante support. I've installed the drivers from this post http://forum.solid-run.com/linux-on-cubox-i-and-hummingboard-f8/about-opengl-drivers-and-binary-blobs-packages-for-t2013.html With both versions of debian (armbian and the official) ./configure can't find these drivers, all I get is "dummy" for the video driver. With arch linux there were no problems at all, it worked right out of the box. Does someone have a hint for me. This is my last hope. Thanks in advance McCarthy

Hi, I have Connected i.MX6 Single Board Computer. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6943408/ConnectCore/DSCF0496.JPG I need to boot Debian-based system from SD card.

Hi, coming from "ARMBIAN 5.73 stable Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS 4.19.20-cubox" after performing apt udate apt upgrade my cubox won't boot anymore. I've no idea how to recover from this. The output from boot is in the attached picture. What can I do?

Hi, My Solidrun Cubox I1-300-D has been running Armbian for quite some time (Samsung EVO SD card). However, I tried to update/upgrade, and my version was non-supported anymore (19.04?), so time for a fresh new image. I've tried three times (download image from https://www.armbian.com/cubox-i/, sha256 check, burn image with etcher, inspect file structure (looks good), and boot), but each time this happens: "Armbian universal operating system" + text ("Executing script at ...") splash screen, then a black screen, and then my TV says "no signal", and then nothing anymore. At the ethernetconnector, there is red LED on / flashing…

Hello, I updated my Vanilla Jessie headless install yesterday (aptitude safe-upgrade), but the system never came back online after reboot. The screen flashes the SolidRun logo and a few lines of text, and then the LED turns off and the screen goes blank: It doesn't seem like the system boots, and it definitely doesn't connect to my home network via Ethernet. Is there a way to rescue this install? Thanks in advance, Matteo

I am running Armbian_4.5_Cubox-i_Ubuntu_trusty_3.14.54 on a CuBox i4 Pro. The application is a security camera server and the current test environment consists of the server and two IP cameras set to 320x240 and running at 5 fps. The server is receiving these two streams over the Ethernet interface constantly but the data rate is pretty low. I am seeing the Ethernet interface fail after 24 to 48 hours with the syslog entries shown below. After the failure I can restart the link with ifdown/ifup and it works fine.

Hello all :-) ! Not sure if I am doing something wrong at all or not. But I've been trying the wheezy image from here. While I can get everything installed ok I've a problem with video acceleration. I've managed to install the packages and have taken note of the changes here to do with installing the packages and kernel for video acceleration. But unless it is something I'm not doing right, performance dosen't exactly seem to be all that great even with acceleration. I noticed that one thing that I could do btw to improve performance just a little was to turn down the colour depth. I did this by doing the following; root@cubox-i:/boot# cat boot.cmd setenv bo…

Until now, the path '/sys/class/leds/imx6:red:front' was used to control the LED on Cubox. Since the last update the path no longer exists. Anything I can do?

Maybe I missed something, it's been a few weeks since I needed to install an image. cubox with hdmi does not boot. There is no serial port, so I can not even try to figure it out. Also it never requests an ip address from the router. Tried with trusty legacy and vanilla. Used the link specifically labeled cubox-i http://www.armbian.com/cubox-i/

I have a Cubox-i (older 2GB version) running Armbian_5.00_Cubox-i_Debian_jessie_4.4.1.zip. It's using a SATA drive as root. I've installed some services that take up a lot of CPU. After a couple of days, it still responds to pings, but I can no longer log into the box with SSH. I'm forced to power cycle it to log back in. Looking at it, there's nothing in the logs to point to the problem, the only weird thing in /var/log/messages is: Feb 22 12:34:47 localhost rsyslogd-2007: action 'action 17' suspended, next retry is Mon Feb 22 12:36:17 2016 [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2007 ] I do wonder if it's overheating due to the CPU use.

I'm using a mpci wireless card. Previous versions of armbian detected the card without problems. Buster does not. lspci returns nothing.

I've got a Cubox-i 4 running Armbian stretch 4.16.8 and I noticed that the frequency never seemed to drop below 996MHz (even when on zero load) using sudo cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/cpuinfo_cur_freq whereas armbianmonitor -m showed the same, occasionally showing 792MHz. Looking at Orange Pi Zero I managed to see what the issue might be. Changing /etc/default/cpufrequtils to "powersave" dropped the frequency to 396MHz but stayed there even when under stress (stress -c 4 -t 60). Changing the value to "conservative" gave me what I wanted. 396MHz with no load, rising to 996MHz when under load. Hopefully others might find th…

Hello, i was using my cubox-i 4 pro since two years now. Last time (last week) i have used a armbian legacy debian version from whatever, after my hdd corrupted (i have a backup) i tried to setup the system again with a new ssd and the newer version of armbian but i have a few problems. First i flashed the mainline 4.9.7 dd-image on my sd card with rufus. That one is not booting. I can see in a seriel session that the uboot is starting after the line booting the kernel nothing happens any more. In my router i can not see any ip from dhcp is given out to the system and it does not do anything more. After that i have tried the legacy 3.14.79 what when i flashed …

the system in my cubox-i 4x4 crashes after updating to kernel 4.4.1. I did the update in the system and after rebooting it doesn't work. I upload the screenshot of the only thing I get, after that the screen goes off, nothing else happens. If the problem is the new kernel it means I can't upgrade it, is it right? I also try new images 5.0 Vanilla and I get the same screen.

Hi, If you think that Solid-run Cubox-i kernel branch is becoming outdated, you can use a mainline linux kernel with the following enablement patches: Russell King home dir: http://www.home.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/cubox/?C=M;O=D Grab the most recent hummingboard-cubox-i DIFF big patch and patch it into your vanilla 4.1 kernel source dir. Then use a default config appropiate for a Cubox-i / Hummingboard: # make imx_v6_v7_defconfig hope it helps

I've recently upgraded Armbian on my Cubox-i using apt, i.e. that was not a new clean install. As a result I still have an old kernel running. What is the right way to upgrade kernel? Edit: updated using armbian-config, everything seems to be ok.

Trying to debug this issue. Everything was fine until a recent reboot and now the box is stuck in a boot loop with any supported image downloaded from armbian.

I've tried the steps in https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Basic-Troubleshooting/ https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Recovery/ but it appears that the there is something going on with the Linux kernel? changing the verbosity doesn't provide any new information.
