@Igor how come there isn't any mainline kernels available for these boards lack of time or lack of interest ? currently using xilka kernel but would love to have it in apt less messy would be awesome to include/combine those builds and get more support for imx6 since graphics is up to 3.14.60 and mainline is at 4.4.0 (minimal support for graphics kinda like your mainline packages).

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…

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.

Hello Igor, First, Thank You for all great work over Armbian ! I tried about all previous releases and they started over HDMI port normally with factory U-Boot 2013 ... Now Armbian 5.00 I tried all posted release Legacy and Vanilla Kernels and only Jessie Desktop show startup process and show GUI screen. Igor, may You help Me Please, How to upgrade factory board U-Boot with Your U-Boot version ?

Hi, I am running Debian Strech on a headless server with armbian (since 2014 on wheezy), on a Cubox-i 4 Pro. My system is on /dev/sda1 After an upgrade, few minutes ago, my device is no more reachable by ssh neither answering to ping. It seems to boot the kernel but I am not even sure of that (as nothing appears in the console after "booting the kernel"). Here is the full console log: U-Boot SPL 2013.10-rc4-ge4bc4c3 (Dec 18 2014 - 14:55:42) Boot Device: SD1 spl: error reading image u-boot.img, err - -1 Load image from RAW...

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.

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

Hi i have an udoo quad and i downloaded your os (ubuntu jessie desktop Kernel 4.0.8). At first congratulation for your work and big thanks to share it After the flash of the sd card (used win32diskimager because imagewriter don't work for me), i can started my card. Ethernet, wifi, browser ... works fine ! Now, that it didn't work is sata disk or usb disk. When i plug it on the card nothing appear. If i go to /media i saw nothing. Do you know how to resolve this ? Otherwise, i would like to compile Qt5.5 but i need the header for openGL librairie to do it. Is it possible to have it (i saw nothing on /usr/include) ? Last think, do you plan to make a try with the new …

I'm currently working on getting a custom kernel (5.4 kernel which was modified for a specific need regarding containers) running on a Jetson Nano. I've tried running the kernel image on NVIDIA's Jetpack but that didn't work. I've tried building the image directly on the Nano running Armbian and it hasn't really worked so far. It seems to either brick the Nano or not update the kernel version after an install (depending on if I replace /boot/Image). Would you all have any suggestions of what I can try or if it’s even possible? Thanks in advance!

Hello How to rotate screen HDMI ? 4.7.3-cubox

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

Hi, I'm so happy to growth of Armbian, and its good to see that you adding new devices to your device support cartela. But I couldn't find CSC image for Tinkerboard 2. Is that uses same image with RockPi N10 or did you forget to add to download page under to CSC images lists. Bests,

Hi guys. I can't get the headphone jack to work on the NanoPC T3+ on Armbian 5.44 Bionic. HDMI sound works. There's a second Built-in Audio, but nothing seems to work. Also the on-board microphone doesn't work. I've tested it on the friendlyArm Lubuntu and there it both works. Additional. Can somebody point me into the right direction where to add a higher cpufreq in available frequencies? At 1400Mhz it only reaches 55°C maxed(with fan). Single core performance is bad. So some overclock would be helpful. Otherwise Armbian works great. Thank you. NicoD

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

I have a Cubox that has been running Debian Wheezy for a while and I want to do a clean install of Jessie on it. I downloaded Armbian_5.00_Cubox-i_Debian_jessie_4.4.1 and wrote it to SD card, but it won't boot. The error is: Unknown command 'bootz' I rather suspect that my Cubox is not a Cubox-i - possibly an earlier version that does not support compressed kernels. Is there some way I can work around this? Maybe re-flash the bootloader, or uncompress the kernel on another system perhaps? Thanks Andrew

Hi Igor, my Cubox-i4Pro worked perfectly fine with your Armbian Debian Jessie, until I upgraded from 4.7 to 4.81. After the upgrade was performed today, the system time is always wrong after boot, it is always set to Jan 1 01:00:00 1970. Setting the system time correctly does not help, after reboot it is wrong again. I didn't observe this behavior before upgrade, the system time just used to work without any attention needed. Nothing else was changed in the system, only the upgrade of Armbian was done to ver 4.81. So I'm wondering what went wrong with the upgrade. Hardware time is always correct, syncing system time to hardware time does not survive boot. I tried …

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

Hey all, I have been fighting this for 2 days now thought I would reach out for some help. I have a Intel Wireless 7260 PCIe in my Hummingboard Pro board.

This is my /etc/network/interfaces file. # Wireless adapter #1 auto wlan0 allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wpa-ssid "myssid" wpa-psk "mypassword" auto lo iface lo inet loopback I have also tried a USB wifi adapter to attempt to rule out the PCIe bus being the issue.

Using Armbian_4.4_Udoo_Debian_jessie_3.14.28 - Wicd doesn't detect any networks (/etc/network/interfaces has wlan0 commented out). If i setup /etc/network/interfaces and edit /etc/hostapd.conf and /etc/init.d/hostapd, I can get the udoo to authenticate to my wireless network, but I can't ping/resolve/browse anything but google.com Using CLI images - I can't get my network card to auth at all. Any idea what happened - a few months ago wifi was working perfectly. Also - is there anyway to modify the startup job to raise network interfaces to have a time limit?

Hi, I'm using the debian jessie v2.9 image, I've mistakenly used an 8GB SD card and setup my system now, I would like to move this to a larger SD card, I can DD the image to a new card, is there boot scripts that I can force to re-run to resize the partions? Thanks, Jack

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

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…

hey, is there anyone who successfully compile armbian kernel with can support for uddo quad board ? (i also preffer compiled iptables module) here is my working patch with yocto project version dora http://pastebin.com/BF2SeWHa

Not sure if this should go in this section, but since my problem is about non-supported board, then I guess... I found out about Armbian only recently and decided to give it a try for my T113-S3 based board I bought on Aliexpress. It looks like it's some kind of a MangoPi MQ clone, at least judging by schematics. I managed to create a new configuration for my board, together with required U-Boot patches. I built two images, for "current" and "edge" kernel. For some time I was under impression that Linux doesn't boot at all (serial console output was stuck at "Starting kernel ..."), until I added earlycon=on to armbianEnv.txt. Then I finally saw some outpu…

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…

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 am developing on an imx6 board that is no longer in production. It has a full Yacto-based build system that works, based on an old 3.17?) kernel, but its a pain to develop for. It's not worth spending too much time on refactoring the image, but I'm wondering how big of a job it might be to build an Armbian image for it, given that I already have a working uboot and kernel. The hardware just uses a couple of usbs and uarts, and a pcie wifi card. One wersion also has an hdmi encoder, another has hdmi display. Those might be the hardest to support, but driver support is in the kernel. Thoughts? Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

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?

Hi, i'm quite new to Linux and the cubox. I have just installed my cubox 4x4 and downloaded armbian. All works but a can only see 2GB of the 4GB memory

Hi Friends Recently I have been trying Armbian 23.5 as alternative for NVIDIA official images. Tried both Ubuntu Gnome desktop and Debian Cinnamon desktop builds but somehow non of them discovers HDMI output. When Jetsno Nano is booting up I can see official "NVIDIA" screen for a while and then information about missing input (from TV on a TV). The hardware itself works OK - when I change SD card to one with an official image or another one with Debian 11 official - it works just fine. It's seems like a problem with Armbian build itself. Any advice is much appreciated. Kuba Logs: https://paste.armbian.com/omiher…

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"

Are there any other Mekotronics R58 mini users out there? I like this box a lot and Armbian runs great on it, I would very much like to share expereriences with other users and learn from each other.

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 …

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

Hi, I'm incurring in a issue with updates of the board to Armbian 26.8. The new kernel or updates break the board connectivity gets lost, since the board boots up, the LAN port blinks but it doesn't set any IP Address. The board works in headless mode with the Debian 13 CLI UFS image, so I can't debug it using a monitor. Has anyone the same issue? How to reproduce 1.Flash the recommended Debian 13 Trixie CLI Image from Armbian Website 2.Start the board normally, in headless mode 3.login with ssh 4.set a new user account 5.Run apt update && apt dist-upgrade -y and then reboot 6.Board…

Hello everyone! I'm trying to install nvidia graphic card driver to the Jetson Nano after I successfully started bookwork on it. I have nouveau running and I don't understand how/if it is possible to switch to nvidia one. Can you guys please help me to understand whether it is possible at all? Am I missing something? Probably was Googling wrong keywords. For now I understand that Nvidia SDK supported by nvidia requires too old version of their ubuntu-based l4t linux which I don't like at all.. Thanks in advance!

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…

Dear Armbian community I want to run klipper on my ordoid n2+ I started out using a default ubuntu os from odroid themselves but it was missing a ton of drivers I need. everything worked on that image except for the drivers.

I am using klipperscreen a simple gui with touch controls. before installing I could use my screen without issues and I installed everything on the screens terminal. Now that klipperscreen is installed I see the boot sequence and than the signal gets lost. I already checked the klipperscreen guides and forums and if it doesnt report errors its the…

I'm trying to upgrade from Armbian 5.32 (Xenial Next/4.4.76) and was hoping to enable 1 wire again on my Udoo. For that build, I had to add one wire modules to the kernel config, then edit the imx6qdl-udoo.dtsi to set the onewire status to okay (from disabled). In the dtsi, after udoo_ard: udoo_ard_manager it had: onewire@0 { /* example for pin 08 */ compatible = "w1-gpio"; pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&w1_gpio_pins>; status = "disabled"; /* "okay" to enable */ gpios = <&gpio1 21 0>; }; and in iomuxc, there was a section (in external_hog: hoggrp-2, MX6QDL_PAD_SD1_DAT3__GPIO1_IO21 0x800…

I've been looking for a way to rotate the display and change the resolution on the Hummingboard running the Debian image I did this from the FAQ: screen resolution: nano /boot/boot.cmd # example: # change example from # disp.screen0_output_mode=1920x1080p60 # to # disp.screen0_output_mode=1280x720p60 mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.scr somewhat blindly and I destroyed the boot.scr, further searching found that /boot/boot.cmd doesn't exist...

I am currently using Solidrun SbC (ICUBOX and HUMMINGBOARD) and a couple of weeks ago I updated UBUNTU on the Hummingboard to release 18.04 and lost internet..no more network. So try to fix that with no success so after many hours I decided to rebuild the OS with Armbian Buster but I cannot boot from my sd card (sd was flashed with Etcher). So did a surface check with no problems found. I thought it was power supply but I can boot from Android (Cubox and Hummingboard ) so PS should be good. My sd cards are Sandisk extreme 16 gigs. Since I did not build a bootable sd card since 3 years ago, I must have done something wrong but I don’t know what? Does the sd has to be form…

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 …

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?

See the following steps to get the TI wl18xx drivers to work on the Cubox with the I4P Rev 1.5 SOM. Step 1) Boot with the Armbian base image (Armbian_5.20_Cubox-i_Ubuntu_xenial_4.7.3). The 3.14.79 base image also works however will require a different dpkg install command to overwrite the 3.14.79 kernel. Step 2) Build a new kernel with Armbian build tools, note this only works with the 'DEV' kernel branch because SolidRun provides all the necessary DTS files. Edit the compile.sh script and change KERNEL_CONFIGURE="yes" to customize the kernel configuration. The relevant modules you will need to select are: CONFIG_WL_TI=y CO…
