Hi there, is there a chance to have hardware acceleration for the armbian images for stretch? I build the debian stretch default desktop version, but there is no xserver-xorg-video-imx-viv and thus the desktop feels really laggy. Regards Georg

Hi, I'm trying to build the next kernel (4.14.y) for Cubox-i, but the process fails here: DTC arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6dl-cubox-i.dtb Error: arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6qdl-cubox-i.dtsi:261.1-9 Label or path vcc_3v3 not found FATAL ERROR: Syntax error parsing input tree scripts/Makefile.lib:317: recipe for target 'arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6dl-cubox-i.dtb' failed make[1]: *** [arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6dl-cubox-i.dtb] Error 1 arch/arm/Makefile:348: recipe for target 'dtbs' failed make: *** [dtbs] Error 2 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... When I compiled the kernel approx. 2 months ago (4.15.?) I did not get that error. Any ideas?

Need help in finding a suitable Debian build for Sabre Board running imX6 Quad from Freescale.

Gent's, I try to get a image build the last days, but when the image was created, it fails booting. On some other try's, it didn't build. Has in the last time someone build a image ? And is it booting ? :-) Thanks Peter

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, i've asked this question also in the solid-run forum, but i think it's important to ask here also to Igor. Must be an explanation to from where the nvram file came out first. There are different brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt sources, with very different files for same wifi adapter and device (Cubox-i) I'm wondering what is the difference from the nvram .txt file for broadcom wifi firmware (brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt) between (A)solid-run:meta-solidrun-arm-imx6 (much longer with lots of additional parameters)https://github.com/SolidRun/meta-solidrun-arm-imx6/blob/fido/recipes-bsp/broadcom-nvram-config/files/solidrun-imx6/brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt (B)the one that ships …

Hello, I use a SolidRun MicroSOM i2eX in combination with the Toshiba TC358743 HDMI to CSI-2 bridge. (http://www.toshiba.com/taec/components/ProdBrief/10L02_TC358743_ProdBrief.pdf) As far as I know, the driver for the Toshiba chip is now included resp. available in kernel 4.1. (https://lwn.net/Articles/643374/ and http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg88921.html) Can anyone confirm that?

I was trying to plug my Arduino uno into my Udoo quad but it does not appear to be assigned to a serial port, which i believe should appear as ttyACM*. when searching the kernel github page i see these relults https://github.com/patrykk/linux-udoo/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=ACM. Is it possible to get these devices supported in your next kernel release?

In the nanopcT3+ board I need to enable the I2S1 (14 pin header) in Desktop version. I need to have the I2S1 peripheal as SLAVE and a MCLK of 48kHz and 192kHz (better if other clock speed are supported). The "aplay -l" and "arecord -l" commands must show the I2S1 as a sound card with input ad output device. I've tried to do the job but I'm a newbbie on linux and embedded linux. Following the official FriendlyArm wiki, on a host PC I've downloaded the kernel source, modified the dtsi file to enable i2s, recompiled the kernel and U-boot and all steps seem work fine. Now I don't know how to do a final steps to have a SD bootable image with eflasher to load and test…

Also I would like to comment I can't make work chromium, getting all time a white page with a "Aw, Snap" message. Any idea about how to fix these two problems?

Hi everyone, since upgrading to the new stable build DKMS refuses to compile any driver package for the 8812au Wifi chip I could find on github: make ARCH= CROSS_COMPILE= -C M=/root/rtl8812AU modules make[1]: *** M=/root/rtl8812AU: No such file or directory. Stop. Makefile:1576: recipe for target 'modules' failed make: *** [modules] Error 2 I did change the makefile to reflect compiling for ARM. This procedure worked on the old stable kernel. Is there a way to modify the Makefile or kernel sources to accept the new kernel...or is something borked with my system? The error message does not point me to a direction to check for a fix. C…

Hello all, I've downloaded the Vanilla Jessie (Armbian_5.00_Cubox-i_Debian_jessie_4.4.1.zip) and installed it on my 2 Cubox-i (i4Pro and i4x4). I'd like to get Wi-fi working on both and edited the /etc/network/interfaces file to uncomment and configure wlan0 and rebooted. Unfortunately on both, I'm unable to get Wi-Fi operational.

Is there lvds screen compatible with humming board pro version on armbian and if not wich lvds 30pin will u recomend to modify or assist to work on the HB pro

Recently I took my old Hummingboard and to run Armbian on it. I chose the desktop-version for Hummingboard using mainline kernel (presently 4.11.6-cubox). Unfortunately Armbianmonitor shows high CPU -temperature. It gradualy builds up, starting from 50 degrees next to 70 degrees, eventualy approaching 85 degrees and then it shuts down. I use the passive heatsink that came with the board and no case. I use it for light desktop things like browsing the internet. Is there something I can do to prevent this, is there something in the kernel like throttling when the board reaches a certain temperature? Thanks again for a great OS, I think you are doing an outstanding…

I've tried two releases of Armbian for the Jetson Nano and was struggling to get SPI enabled on the Jetson. To check if SPI is enabled, I've been reading its status is through: cat /proc/device-tree/spi@7000d400/status which just returns disabled Here's what I tried: - enabling spi-spidev through armbian-config, but this option doesn't exist in armbian-config as it does for other releases for devices - making a custom device tree dts file and pointing extlinux.conf to it (below is the relevant snippet): spi@7000d400 { compatible = "nvidia,tegra210-spi\0nvidia,tegra114-spi"; reg = <0x00 0x7000d400 0x00 0x200>; inte…

Hi, Beside some limitations with cubox's hardware I love my cubox-i 4x4. But it is hard to find good documentation about how to many things. Reading this forum and other webs I made many of my goals. After installing Debian from this web site and using the nand-sata-install script the system works from the hard drive. This hard drive has two partitions, the main and big one and one small, 4GB, swap partition, but the system is not using it, so I would like to know if I can make the system use it. I found this how to: 9. Setting Up Swap Space 9.1. Swap Files Normally, there are only two steps to setting up swap space, creating the partition and adding it to /etc/…

Hello, I am having a problem using the uart and I guess it is related with this topic. I am trying to make my Hummingboard to communicate via UART with a serial ublox GPS. I identified that the right device in armbian (5.34) is /dev/ttymxc0 since it echoes characters when I join tx/rx together. When I connect the GPS it starts sending gps data normally, but when I have to reboot the hummingboard, it does not boot. I connected a screen to the HDMI interface to see what was happening, and I get the screen message as if a key had been pressed in order to stop booting process, so the boot stops here and the hummingboard does not come up. When I disconnect …

This post is, more or less, a continuation of something I started here, but adapted to Armbian. I will start with an overview of what I have done (maybe this is relevant) and finish with my questions. What I've done: I have a Hummingboard Gate with a Mikrobus RS485 click 3.3V (this one: https://www.mikroe.com/rs485-33v-click). In order to make this work I need to change a few things in de device tree.

Any thoughts on getting a slightly faster boot?

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.

Dear all, I'm just trying to get a HummingBoard-Edge (i.MX6 Quad, 2GB) working with Armbian_5.20_Cubox-i_Ubuntu_xenial_4.7.3. Unfortunately, the board is recognized as CuBox-i, U-Boot loads the wrong dtb file (imx6q-cubox-i.dtb) and I have no access to the internal eMMC card (mmcblk1). By the way, it's the same issue with ArchLinuxArm. Do I have to somehow modify the U-Boot environment variables to get the board being recognized as Hummingoard2? Do you have any other ideas? Thank you very much for your help! Best regards Andreas

@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 an issue on my hummingboard i2ex. I installed mpd and configured it with SPDIF. The kernel is 4.9.12-cubox. Unfortunately the sound looks strange. It sounds like a slow motion recording. The load is very load (<0.2) so I think it is not a performance problem. I saw there was an issue with the SPDIF previously but it is a little bit different. Do you have any idea what could be wrong? Is it possible to test it your side? Thanks, Warter

Hello. I have been running Armbian_5.41_Cubox-i_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.15.7_desktop.img with no issues on my Hummingboard Edge which consists of rev 1.4 Hummingboard2 carrier and rev 1.5 SOM. I decided to try the legacy image (Armbian_5.41_Cubox-i_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.14.79_desktop.img) to gain support for the hardware video decoder. However, I have been unable to get the legacy version to boot properly. Initially, the board is detected as having a rev 1.5 SOM and there is a message about not being able to find the right dtb file (imx6q-hummingboard2-som-v15.dtb).

Hey, which kernel did you use for the provided Hummingboard image (wheezy)? Is it a self-patched linux-linaro or the latest from solidrun (linux-fslc)? My test tells me, that it is the one from solidrun as I'm not able to use PCI on my HB pro. I've recognized it using the current devel of OpenELEC which also uses kernel 3.14.60 from solidrun. An older version of OpenELEC (e.g. 6.0.3) or Armbian (eg. 4.4 using 3.14.53) works quite good. The PCI driver and the dts changed quite a lot between those kernel repositories. Do you have any suggestions how to fix that? My tries all ended in a boot hang (black screen).

Good news. Thanks to the work of many, there is now a real opportunity to run the Armbian system with the main core on Jetson Nano, and more importantly, it is easy to integrate the image build process into the official GIT Armbian. In the near future, I plan to post ready-made images with the latest kernel 5.10.22 on the download site. To run them, you need to update u-boot to Jetson Nano. This is very easy to do, just run the latest official version of Ubuntu for Jetson Nano from the SD card, it will update itself in SPI (?) u-boot to the latest version (2020.04), after that you can run Armbian from any SD card or USB media. The new u-boot supports automatic syst…

when i changed to run the current kernel 5.4.12 the ethernet would work ok, then while transfering over smb/samba to my windows 10 box the ethernet would totally drop, as in the light on my switch went out, not just dropping a few packets!! The only thing that fixed it was to rever "back" to 5.3.11-imx6. Note the change both up to the 5.4.12 and then back to 5.3.11 were performed via the armbian-config tool. (the system is running headless, and the log file does include a boot of "Linux version 5.3.11-imx6" as well as the working 5.3.11 Is anyone else seeing this? JB.

Hello good people, I recently started "porting" linux to my Huawei mate 9. Its one of those projects plagued with silly issues and a sad lack of docs and unreliable hearsay. I was hopeful someone may have started something similiar, or maybe commit logs/discussions from when Hikey960 support was added. Ive found commits but praying that maybe more exists. I just have a handful of basic questions, most unfortunately involve things like the android bootloader. Which partitions related to boot can safely be replaced with non signed images, how do i stop fastboot from combining the appended dtb with those in dts partition.

Hello, I am trying to run urbit on my CuBox-i 4×4 and it looks like ARMBIAN 5.25 stable has some kind of kernel config that limiting the memory usage: ./urbit -c mytestcomet ~ urbit 0.4.4 urbit: home is mytestcomet boot: mapping 2048MB failed see urbit.org/docs/using/install for adding swap space I have added a 4GB swapfile but it seems it's not addressable by the urbit process, I also tuned the setting vm.swappiness without any success.

I bought several modules with mpc8308 on board. But following the documentation, i did not manage to implement DMA data transfer. Is it possible to get an example of the implementation of data transfer over DMA?

Maybe someone has an idea what the problem is... So I use the latest armbian with kernel 4.9.18. I installed mpd+mpc on it and mounted nfs share with fstab. Everything is working fine but if i press the play button from my phone/tablet actually the playing starts just after 30 sec. it is exactly 30 sec. I have no idea what can cause this delay.

Hi all, I was an early adopter of cubox-i (and cubox before) By that time I was able to install Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS server and use my cubox-i to host owncloud, resourcespace, phplist, roundcube and other applications. Now I would like to upgrade (using another sd card) to Armbian_5.38_Cubox-i_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.14.14.7z Everything seems fine, except the fact that I can't import mysql data from mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.54, for debian-linux-gnu (armv7l) to mysql version 5.7 (skip one version is not supported) Do you have any suggestions ? Thanks a lot

Please help. We bought a board on AliExpress, but no one provided any documentation. And I can't ask the seller for it. Can anyone share any information?

I haven't tested them at full capacity, but I can ping from both networks... myd lt527m 16e2d 180 e sx Thanks a lot.

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

I set up NanoPC-T3 as a router, the upsteam Ethernet port is connected to a router. However, the bandwidth drops dramatically whatever I’m using IPTables or network bridge to forward the data. This doesn’t happen on the other SBCs I have. How can I solve it?

[WIP] Schematics Pros: - board vendor provides dev samples and documentation - working with latest mainline kernel - many variants by the same vendor - official SDK/BSP currently on 4.4 - no unreliable shitty Micro USB for DC-IN but GPIO by default Cons: - new platform needing more initial work - not many active developers

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

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 everyone, Armbian works well for me on a NanoPi Neo, and installing it on my Cubox i4 was straightforward... but I'd like to try a kernel newer than linux-image-cubox (version 4.14), to get improved video support, and both linux-image-dev-cubox (version 5.2.11) and linux-image-next-cubox (version 5.1.16) do not provide any video output at all. I've uploaded the armbianmonitor report from booting the linux-image-dev-cubox kernel. Help on this would be appreciated!

Hi, I'm trying to use desktop community build for Windows dev kit 2023 but it is not working. Current image: Armbian_community_24.8.0-trunk.554_Wdk2023_noble_wdk2023_6.7.0-rc6_gnome_desktop.img.xz When using etcher to flash to usb, it will flash but fail at validation step say "Cannot validate, the image could be corrupt" or something like that. If still use that usb in WDK, it won't boot. The lite version Armbian_community_24.8.0-trunk.554_Wdk2023_bookworm_wdk2023_6.7.0-rc6_minimal.img.xz is still working fine.

Finally got an UDOO quad Trusty image built. How do I get it out of the virtual environment? Shared folder?

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 everyone! I'm trying to install nvidia graphic card driver to the Jetson Nano after I successfully started bookwork on it.

The alpha version of Armbian images for Orion O6 is available. To launch, burn to a USB flash drive, connect to Orion O6 and turn on the power (installation on NVMe has not yet been verified). The system starts automatically. Important. Image output to the monitor works only in graphical mode (in images with DE). Console output currently only works in UART, so you need a UART console or SSH connection for initial startup.

I saw how-to-unbrick-the-system, but I'm not sure where to download which files, since I'm not sure if I have NEXT, mainline or legacy installed. Does that even matter at this point?

Hi, I installed Armbian on a Cubox 4x4, I realize this was designed for a different board, but in general it works.
