Tinkerboard

Hi, I'm running Armbian Stretch on a Tinker Board and trying to use a one-wire thermometer. I have this in /boot/armbianEnv.txt: overlays=i2c1 i2c4 spi2 spidev2 uart1 uart2 w1-gpio However, when I boot the board, I see this in dmesg: [Wed May 8 17:38:43 2019] rockchip-pinctrl pinctrl: unable to find group for node w1_pins [Wed May 8 17:38:43 2019] w1-gpio: probe of onewire@0 failed with error -22 Kernel version is Linux tinkerboard 4.19.33-rockchip #5.77 SMP PREEMPT Wed Apr 3 17:06:29 CEST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux Any ideas? I'm using the rockchip-w1-gpio.dtbo that was installed with the system. Regards, Dianne.

Tinkerboard (not 2) not booting after kernel updates for some reason. Who knows how to fix this?

Hi all, first post here so please forgive me if I've get any bits wrong. Thanks for all the work put into supporting this project, and thanks in advance for any and all considerations extended in helping me step through my issue here. so i've had an 8 node kubernetes cluster running fairly smoothly on my tb's for nearly a full year now, so far I have not had any major issues with armbian updates until this weekends... I did a round of updates to my cluster and, after rebooting all 3 of my model S tinkerboards seem bricked (redlight only, no output to HDMI).. The remaining five orig TB models with Samsung EVO SD's all came up without issue... s…

I got wierd screen blinking after update kernel from 5.8.18-rockchip to 5.9.14-rockchip. Here is blurry video with screen blinking. My screen resolution is 1600x900 and i'm using HDMI-to-VGA adapter. All was working fine with kernel 5.8.18-rockchip. I still can connect to sbc via ssh, so I checked kernel version, install old one and blinking gone: q@tinkerboard:/var/cache/apt/archives$ uname -a Linux tinkerboard 5.9.14-rockchip #20.11.3 SMP PREEMPT Fri Dec 11 22:00:29 CET 2020 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux q@tinkerboard:/var/cache/apt/archives$ dpkg-deb -I linux-image-current-rockchip_20.11_armhf.deb new Debian package, version 2.0.…

It would be nice to be able to use hardware crypto for VPNs. The rockchip's hardware crypto acceleration has apparently been supported since Kernel 4.5. I noticed that the CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_ROCKCHIP option hadn't been compiled into the standard Armbian builds, so I built a custom kernel. Having the rk_crypto module loaded gives me additional ciphers in /proc/crypto as expected. Without the module loaded (either blacklisted with my build, or with the normal Armbian kernel), my tunnel (IKEv2/IPSEC w Strongswan) works fine. But with the module installed, no traffic passes. Sometimes I see kernel errors in syslog. A couple of tim…

Let's make a topic dedicated to the latest issues with the latest Linux Release Candidate provided on the Linus Torvalds git repository. So, on the 4.13.0-rc6, I got a crash on boot on my MiQi devices due to some changes in the logging functions used by the STMMAC Ethernet driver. I reverted some of their changes by just commenting the new logging function. I'll try to get in touch with the person who wrote the commit that generated this issue, as he tends to roam in the #linux-rockchip IRC channel. Meanwhile, here's the patch : https://github.com/Miouyouyou/RockMyy/blob/master/patches/kernel/v4.13/0012-net-stmmac-Reverting-a-part-of-Use-…

I have 85 tinkers running with armbian 5.41 xenial next 4.14.23. Normally I run a script that apt upgrades them all but I run a small batch of them first as a test. Today I ran apt update/upgrade on three of them and they are all bricked. No output to the screen. Can't ping them. Any ideas?

Hello, I'm trying to show a startup logo a Tinker Board without success. I tried to add a parameter logo=/boot/boot.bmp to /boot/armbianEnv.txt but it doesn't work. Is the boot logo implemented on the Tinker Board? Does it require a patch? Thanks for your feedback.

Hi all, I'm using for the Tinkerboard the mem freeze and resume methods; in particular using by the pins near the video connector (and a button) to resume the board. Is it possible to use other pins to achieve that? Thanks!

Hello! I've been using Armbian on my newly bought Tinker Board for less than two weeks now and I've to say that the work you guys have put into this is incredible! It truly is remarkable and inspires us newcomers which haven't started studying computer science or are currently studying - as myself. So, I will definitely contribute and help others in the future to increase the Armbian community! However, as I'm new to Unix, Tinker Board, everything that's not Windows or Mac OS, I've a deep learning curve ahead! Let's start with my setup: Build: ARMBIAN 5.32.170921 nightly Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 4.14.0-rc1-rockchip (I know it's nightly so there are bugs, ye…

Topic to discuss RK3288 overlays, primarily concerning ASUS Tinker Board, the MiQi is technically EOL and has very little GPIO anyway, and TV boxes are more or less sealed. Kernel 4.19 will be the pilot for this, the discussion now that it seems to be working thanks to @martinayotte and @zador.blood.stained's feedback and examples is what to overlay. For testing/debugging I started with some ASUS overlays for RTC and 1wire. Easy ones: spidev out of the default tree but as default overlays. instead of making 1 overlay and messing with parameters, just make 2 overlays DAC's: I don't have a lot of hardware to play with, but @…

I wanna use tinker board to work with logitech c930e camera. when i use cheese to open camera in tinker board. it's just show one black picture, and the camera light is on. before i had use the nanopi m4 to work with the logitech c930e. it's working good. and m4 create /dev/video0 , /dev/video1. but tinker board just create /dev/video0, so i think it maybe inside kernel have some option not open. but i don't know which need open. i'm not good at kernel. can give me some help? thanks a lot

Hello, I have Tinker Board. If I install Armbian I see screen only over HDMI. I would like to enable DSI touchscreen display. Is it possible? How make it? Thank you

Hi every body, I am a new user of Armbian and Linux based system. I wanted to use the Tinkerboard because of his 4K video processor (I am programming a special video application) I install Armbian following the steps of the site. Everything went good, the system is runing. I made all update an so on. Then I wanted to test a video (MP4 1920x1080) capability with the build in player, and the video is playing very slow. I try too a Youtube video, same thing... Meanwhile I installed a TinkerIOS linaro and TinkerOS android, video are playing at the good speed... So my questions are: 1) do we need a special video driver on Armbian for the ti…

I connected a tinker to a 4k tv and the highest resolution that armbian offers is 1920x1080. What could be the reason that 4k res is not offered? I'm using ARMBIAN 5.43.180417 nightly Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS 4.14.34-rockchip.

I bought a Tinkerboard S and Tinker Aluminum case yesterday, but because of the case, it's Wifi function is almost non-exist, so I bought a TP-LINK TL-WN722N v2 two hours ago. I was hoping to get a V1, which has a lot of information on Wikidevi, and looks like it's going to work out-of-the-box, but I got a v2, and now I'm trying to get it to work. Wikidevi provided a link to driver repository, I downloaded main branch and type "make all" in terminal, it says /lib/modules/4.4.166-rockchip/build does not exist. I tried to search how to install kernel header and tried this command "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)", it doesn't work/help. …

Hello, I own a Tinker Board S (bought one or two years ago) attached to a Sony Bravia KDL 22EX320 TV by HDMI, which has a native resolution of 1388x768 pixels. Bionic desktop with kernel 5.4 (got from https://dl.armbian.com/tinkerboard/Bionic_current_desktop) didn't properly recognize the TV resolution, but set it to 1920x1024. If I run xrandr --props the resolution is not listed. I'm posting because I'm almost sure that the old TinkerOS 2.0.8 (that I installed with the board) recognized the TV resolution correctly - it anyway boots to desktop without requiring interaction, so not being able to read the text at the edges of the console …

We are looking at replacing the raspi3b+ with the tinkerboardS (rockchip 3288) in an embedded system, running armbian (bionic-4.19). Initial tests show that OS stability, board performance and form factor make the tinkerboardS a good substitute for the raspi. However, one issue we have run into is a conflict with pin 32 of the GPIO which is used by the hostboard for managing output devices. We have tried to turn off serial2 by removing the UART2 overlay and adding 'console=display' in /boot/armbianEnv.txt and also disabling & masking serial-getty@ttyS2.service but that hasn't stopped pin 32 from being chatty when connected to the hostboard. Is…

Hi everyone, I’m using an ASUS Tinker Board (RK3288, 2 GB, released in 2017). Since this board is quite old and we are now in 2025 I want to run the latest stable Armbian and develop a Python application using I²C, UART, PWM, and GPIO pins. Which Armbian image and kernel branch (current or edge) is the most stable for this board? Are there any specific steps or adjustments needed due to its older hardware? Thanks!

Is there an official way of installing libmali drivers on Armbian? I'm feeling a bit slow, since I can't really figure out how to install them. It seems like files from this github repo will overwrite other system files, so it's not a solution that would work in the long term.

Does anyone know what to do to enable 1920x1200 resolution? I've done the xrandr newmode/addmode and it shows in the display app but doesn't work. At the command line... xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode 1920x1200_60.00 xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed The monitor and tinker board support 1920x1200 and it works with tinkeros.

Hi I have a problem with change desktop language from en to polish. I tryed all solutions armbian-config , dpkg-reconfigure locales, export LANG. After reboot I got english desktop and locale info http://ecocut.pl/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/locale-1.jpg

Hey, maybe a stupid question, but how I can change the i2c clock rate in the armbianENV.txt? I have search around the forum and didn't find anything. can someone point me in right direction? Greets

Referring the MPP samples, i have got an application which can give me NV12 data. 4 instance(or threads) of this application will give me raw data, i need to scale all of them in a single screen. Is it achievable through Mali GPU with current development of userland/kernel driver? Also i need to perform composition. On that tiled screen, i need to show other semi-opaque(transparent) window. Which library can help me to do the same?

Hi. I installed Armbian_20.02.1_Tinkerboard_bionic_current_5.4.20_desktop on my TinkerBoard (not S) and get weird screen state (white, then growing black circle in the middle). I tried Armbian_20.02.1_Tinkerboard_bionic_legacy_4.4.213_desktop and it works very good, but I still want to test vulkan driver, so I updated only kernel to 4.19 (install linux-image-next-rockchip, linux-header-next-rockchip, linux-dtb-next-rockchip and delete 3 old packages). After reboot I got same screen. Is it known bug? Can it be related, that I'm using HDMI-to-VGA adapter? Can you help me to fix it or get usefull logs?

I used sudo swapoff -a as suggested in this thread: but the setting isn't persisted, and upon reboot sudo swapon --summary shows a partition There's no "swap" text in my /etc/fstab I'm trying to install Kubernetes, so I need to disable swap.

So my boss deploys a plethora of Asus TInkerboards to assist with production. We are currently using an OS image provided to us by this website---specifically, Ubuntu_xenial_next_desktop.7z. On some occasions, with kick ass access points, the tinkers will disconnect from the wireless network that we are using. We are also using an antennae attachment which seems to help a bit with connection issues. Without providing too much specific info, is there an updated driver being worked on somewhere that I could be pointed towards? Any info/words of wisdom would be very helpful! Thank you! Best regards and thanks in advance! Joey

Hi, Got a Tinker Board and tried the 5.41 Xenial mainline 4.14.23 desktop -> https://www.armbian.com/tinkerboard/#kernels-archive Need to enable the I2S on 40pinheader connector for both playback & capture (192KHz/32bits) but I dont seem to find the info for this. Any help is valuable!

Which Os does support hardware encode h264\h265 ? Or where i can read about status supporting hardware encoding for video (h264\265) and image (jpeg) ? chip: RK3288

I have a TinkerBoard S. In Bionic Desktop (kernel 4.4), the wireless icon menu lists two devices: wlan0 (which is the expected interface) and p2p0: I don't know this one, but it is always chosen for auto-connecting to the local wireless lan, receiving a random IP and not the one I configured on the router. I can then manually connect to the network with the wlan0 interface the IP is correct. How do I disable / remove / anyway stop that p2p0 interface to "steal" the network connection?

Tinkerboard (old one, not S) to be used as x2go thin client. Installed latest image (5.70_Tinkerboard_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.19.14_desktop), applied all updates. Working fine (thanks to everybody who contributed). Issue remaining: My Tinkerboard refuses to use the monitor's native display size of 1920x1200, tried several monitors and cables (HDMI to DVI adapter cables, in case this is relevant). Without any modifications, Armbian desktop comes up with 1280x960. I used xrandr to set 1920x1080 (works), but 1920x1200 leads to "xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed". Any chance to resolve this?

i'm stuck with this since day 1 but now i upgraded to armbian (with kodi-gbm) i had this problem worse stress testing the board with stress -c 4 doesn't bring the board into shutdown, but logging in to kodi-gbm or using graphical interface? it brings instability all of a sudden. there's no inherent pattern from the shudowns except when i launch kodi or access some files (emby transcoding doesn't cause any instability). anything outside the text mode should cause it to shutdown. weirdly enough, when i removed the USB peripherals (2xUSB HDD, own power supply for both cases) the instability worsens and doesn't boot or sometimes reboot cycle after fsck.ext4 on sta…

This will be a catch-all for HDMI-related things. Sep. 29, 2017 UPDATE First up is hotplugging in Mainline. Script/rule added to build system. Thank you @botfap for the script I am getting the system events triggered saying the HDMI is unplugged/replugged, (using udevadm -monitor) however nothing is happening in response to the events it would seem, the screen is still blank. I could hook a script to the event, but I'm not exactly sure what I would tell it to do... Any thoughts would be great, I'll be researching.

Hello! I set up a firewall on the Asus Tinkerboard. I came across a very strange thing - the lack of support for the CT target in iptables. In fact, it appears that iptables has support of given target, but the required kernel module is missing. After running cat /boot/config-4.4.120-rockchip | grep NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_ST I saw the following: # CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_CT is not set. What the reason of that decision? It blocks ability to forward sip, ftp and some other protocols precisely. And also blocks ability to use SYNPROXY target correctly. Is it planned to include this module in the build?

Hi, since i have a Asus tinkerboard incoming i was wondering if anyone knows if the "generic" arm64 distro will work this board. Its based of the rockchip RK3288 SoC The support pages states that the board supports debian, but since i dont need a UI ect (im going to use it headless) i dont need the board to load a ui into memory and wanted to use a normal build instead of the TinkerOS Please note, my knowledge of the inner workings of *nix is quite limited, so if my question is to generic or imprecise i apologize.

As https://www.armbian.com/tinkerboard/ has a quite fresh 4.14 Linux kernel (in Armbian Stretch Next Desktop 5.50) I am trying to use that instead of the standard TinkerOS 2.0.7 with a 4.4.103 kernel. However, Armbian is configured to provide only spidev2.0, while TinkerOS can have spidev0.0, spidev0.1, spidev2.0 and spidev2.1 all enabled at the same time as long as you disable UART4 which shares GPIO header pins with SPI0. In the TinkerOS case, there is a config tool which edits a small and straightforward text file in /boot/ containing lines such as "intf:spi0=on" or "intf:uart4=off". The corresponding Armbian file seems to be /boot/armbianEnv.txt - possibly…

There's a few problems with the UART driver on 5.0-rc2 kernels, since proper checks are not done correctly and lead to a Null Pointer dereference.

Hello people, I have an Asus Tinker Board S and decided to use the Mainline Armbian for this board, love the new panfrost driver but seems it is glitching all over the place, icons in the menu disappear and reappear when mouse hovers over them, tick boxes do not show if they are ticked and only flicker when mouse is over them and applications menu keep redrawing all over when trying to use among the most prominent problems. Other operating systems work well in this matter. Anyone else is having these problems with the mainline 5.4.28 kernel build?

Dear Colleagues! In the I2S RK3288 interface rather limited number of timeslots of TDM (PCM).

On the Tinker Board , I have tested a simple GPIO application using preinstalled wiringPi C library. I also ran the same application on Raspberry Pi using preinstalled wiringPi C library, but I noticed that the Tinkerboard GPIO speed is very slow. I wonder why this is the case.

Hi out there! F.Y.I. I've tried a lot of things to customize the kernel for Tinker Board on 32-bits host platform, but finally I gave it up. Instead other messy things, I followed the armbian instructions exactly, and successfully created an Armbian_5.32_Tinkerboard_Debian_jessie_default_4.4.76.img using the comile script on the recommended Ubuntu host. Unfortunately the resulted image does not boot: root@eepc:~# ttysh /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 115200 U-Boot SPL 2017.07-armbian (Jul 18 2017 - 17:40:48) Returning to boot ROM...

Hello all, i have a pressing problem requiring urgent help. I am currently conducting my thesis with the Tinker Board and i have the Armbian Ubuntu desktop with the legacy kernel running. I noticed when i try to boot the system, it takes approximately 25 minutes to show the Login request in the CLI and after that, it creates the user account but instead of proceeding to the regular desktop page, it gets stock there and does not proceed. I will please like to know if anyone has an idea of how to solve this issue as i urgently need it to get running fast to run the tests needed for my thesis. Thanks.

Hello everyone, I'm using the latest Armbian version on Tinker board. I notice that if I dont use for a few minute then my monitor will go blank and I need to press any keyboard or mouse click to make a monitor works again. Is there a way to turn off that functionality ? I would like to keep my monitor on all the time. Thank you

I have a USB-C charger rated for 3A, USB-C Cable rated for 3A, and a USB-C to MicroUSB adapter rated for 2.4A. Should I even bother testing that?

Hi! When I try to access PWM via procedure described here https://tinker-board.asus.com/forum/index.php?/topic/15132-direct-gpio-access/ I see that & are not present (although they should be) I can see pwmchip0, but I don't understand what GPIO it is. Following ASUS docs from GitHub https://github.com/TinkerBoard/TinkerBoard/wiki/User-Guide#gpio-config-table-for-tinker-board-s--tinker-board-s-r20 GPIO32 and GPIO33 should be here: PWM:/sys/class/pwm/pwmchip3 and PWM:/sys/class/pwm/pwmchip2 But those directories are not present. root@tinkerboard:~# ls -la /sys/class/pwm/ total 0 drwxr-x…

Greetings, I recently had a request about testing the I2S and SPDIF output of MiQi devices and after some fiddling on this board, it seems that the Rockchip I2S + Simple-Audio ALSA driver just output nothing on the I2S TX/RX pins, at least. So was anyone able to output sound directly through the I2S GPIO pins on any RK3288 device ? Tinkerboard devices seems to use that setup and it seems to be working, but I'd like to know if that's working through the soldered Jack or the GPIO.

Hi Igor and all, back after a long absence, Have been using Cubie2s since 2015, rock solid with Armbian. I've now moved as cubies don't support gigabit, and the Pi gigabit interface is limited. So I now have a tinkerboard and popped Stretch mainline kernel 4.14.y onto an SDcard. Linux tinkerboard 4.14.67-rockchip #88 SMP PREEMPT Wed Aug 29 15:07:29 CEST 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux I want to compile the faithfull usb-redirector against the headers, but sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` results in not found. Bit of noob question, but I've trawlled around, but can't seem to find source/headers or should I move to a diffrent version? Mark

hi i can not get my ethernet to work with img Armbian_5.72_Tinkerboard_Debian_stretch_next_4.19.16_desktop me lost !

Just as a notice the Raspberrry PI 7" DSI Touchscreen was working fine on Armbian with the 4.4 Kernel. Using the current Armbian for Tinkerboard and the 4.19 Kernel it does not work any longer, nor does it with the current development Kernel 5.1. Does there have to be any special things to be set to get it working again? On the 4.4 Kernel it was working out of the box. Thanx

to recap: Tinkerboard (rev 1?) has 2 USB devices (from RK3288's internal ports), one for the Realtek HD audio, and one for the 4 USB ports (Genesys 4-port USB hub). while i have no info for the HD audio, the hub is powered via the 5V lines (noted as V5 pin in the datasheet). my mistake would be not checking if all the 5V power lines are shorted, or it's just connected to the hub. there's an option to NC the pin if using an external regulator (say, the RK808 power management chip?) The LAN is separated to the hub and instead directly connected to the RK3288 At least the datasheet for RK3288 says. no pinouts whatsoever so i think …

Just reporting that there is some tx-offload bug in the ASUS Tinker Board Rockchip. I think I read about this issue regarding other rockchip/platforms when checksum offload bugs on large packets. When I run ethtool -K eth0 tx off I stop having issues with NFS over TCP The last part of diagnosis is when I forced a NFS crash by enabling tx offloading.

Does the armbian build come with 3D acceleration? Or is it 2d only?

Hello, I'm observing a strange behavior. If I connect the Tinkerboard to HDMI, it won't start. Only the red led LED lights up. Yellow and green did not light up. The Tinkerboard ist connected to a NorthPada 5V 3A Micro USB Charger power supply. I measured the supply voltage with 5.3V and checked with an oscilloscope if there are voltage dips. But the voltage was stable. I did a cross test. I unplugged the HDMI cable and started the Tinkerboard. The Tinkerboard starts and the yellow and green LEDs lights up. I measured the supply voltage with 5.3V and checked with an oscilloscope if there a voltage dips. The voltage was stable and dropped to roughly 5.1V for a short ti…

Hello people, I am trying to set CPU Governors but all the cores change to the same clock and cpufreq-info reports "CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0 1 2 3", with that even one thread working is making the CPU scale up all clocks and heat more than it should, is there a way to unlink them and each one have their own clocks according to each core processing load?

Hello. In Armbian 5.34 (default, next and nightly (26/10/2017) no have permission for create, edit and delet conection on network manager. To be able to modify a connection it is necessary to open the network manager in root. It's really very exciting. Looking on the internet it turns out that it will be a problem of "policy". I had already reported this bug on the post "tinkerboard". He had been tuned to a nightly version but he came back. my account is in the group netdev and sudo like ask in the polkit Would it be possible to have a "next" version fix this bug or have the procedure to fix the error? thank

Hey! I recently got a CAN-bus up and running on a Tinkerboard running Armbian, but I've run into another problem here: The CAN-bus buffer fills up. After sending a few messages I get an error saying "No buffer space available". I've noticed that some other people are solving this by increasing the buffer size, but that seems like a weird solution to me. And it wouldn't really help me much. I need to empty this buffer when I read from it, or manually (without restarting the CAN-bus). Any ideas on how to do that? Thanks

When connecting to the built-in wifi adapter (wlan0) on the tinkerboard S (rockchip 3288), the kernel produces a stacktrace and clients can't connect. [ 839.074341] kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3904!

I logged an issue a little while ago with Armbian running on the Tinkerboard that the screen when rotated 90 degrees couldn't draw the screen at any speed. I have been playing with a few alternatives incl going back to the original tinkeros. All have issues so I was delighted to see the FOCAL port. I am using the recommended Waveshare 7" touchscreen that you advertise on the home page as tested 3rd party hardware. Both the desktop and the server versions of Focal come up with the error Configure crtc 0 failed setting mode when I manually set the supported resolution of 1024 x 600 at 60Hz using xrandr Exactly the same settings on TinkerOS works perfectl…

Is it possible to patch the device tree someway to enable HDMI output and having the console on the framebuffer for debugging in current non-development armbian version? Thanks

So I have downloaded several versions of Armbian for Tinkerboard using BullsEye and Yammy. Not one creates a working Access Point. The Bullseye version ends with a message that the hotspot has been activated but nothing appears. The yammy version fails with a message there is no usable driver for hostapd. It appears there are a lot of issues with this function. Why not leave it out or document which boards the feature doesn't support. It would save a lot of time going down rabbit holes.

Hello Forum, i just got my new tinker board running with armbian, thanks for the good work ! I want to set up a vdr vnsi server on this to replace the existing Raspberry 2. To get the DVB USB Skystar Tuners running several modules out of kernel/drivers/media like dvb-core and usb are needed. Are this kernel drivers already compiled available or what to do to get them ? Thanks Thomas

Hello, I have been experimenting with the bluetooth audio on my tinkerboard. The issue is both present on the last rockchip-next (4.1x I think) and the rockchip-current 5.8.18 kernel. I am using bluez and bluealsa. The problem is specific to the onboard bluetooth, using an external bluetooth dongle (a cheap and old CSR Bluetooth 3.0 dongle from China) works as expected, I can even send audio to multiple devices simultaneously (quality is very bad, but thats a bandwidth problem). As long as I just connect one bluetooth audio device everything is fine. I can have multiple paired, but disconnected, devices and as long as I connect and p…

Hello, I have several Hardware working with the Tinkerboard / S and like to propose those to the "Tested 3rd party hardware" section To whom can i address this? Thanks Roman

Hi, I spent several days trying to figure this out, which is a bit confusing given all the information that is available and posts and wikis saying that "Waveshare" LCDs are supposed to work, but something is still not right, hope you guys can help. What I have: ASUS Tinker Board S, flashed with Armbian_5.90_Tinkerboard_Debian_buster_default_4.4.182_desktop.img Updated to 4.19.57-rockchip via armbian-config (in order to get the fbtft* modules that were missing in 4.4). The LCD is a 3.5" original Waveshare 32a panel. I started by adding the overlay for this screen (i.e. my armbianEnv.txt has these overlays: overlays=i2c1 i…

I cannot get any CMA reserved space when I use latest LTS kernel (4.14): dmesg always says that no memory has been reserved for CMA. Is CMA working on mainline kernel for Mali Midgard? Is it required for 3D/video decoding stuff or the Mali kernel driver should instead allocate memory on-demand? I see that most of the kernel configuration options regarding CMA are disable or not set, which one requires to be enabled?

However, Armbian is configured to provide only spidev2.0, while TinkerOS can have spidev0.0, spidev0.1, spidev2.0 and spidev2.1 all enabled at the same time as long as you disable UART4 which shares GPIO header pins with SPI0. In the TinkerOS case, there is a config tool which edits a small and straightforward text file in /boot/ containing lines such as "intf:spi0=on" or "intf:uart4=off". The corresponding Armbian file seems to be /boot/armbianEnv.txt - possibly with overlays=... lines and DTS files. There also is a tool called armbian-add-overlay to load (at runtime?) DTS files...

hello i just installed Armbian_5.59_Tinkerboard_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.14.67_desktop on a new tinkerboard s .. and ran myself into a corner immediately. i was trying to figure out how to get 4K 2160p resolution instead of HD 1080p. i changed the refresh rate from 60Hz to 30Hz and now can't get the display back. i tried reboot. and documentation at https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Fine-Tuning/ said to modify /boot/boot.cmd and that file says "edit /boot/armbianEnv.txt to set supported parameters" .. . so i set disp.screen0_output_mode=1920x1080p60 in armbianEnv.txt no luck .. i seem to have gone headless earlier than planned .. advice pls? i w…

Just got my Tinker Board S in... used Etcher to flash the following image to the eMMC: Armbian Stretch mainline kernel 4.14.y It won't boot. That same image flashed to the SD card boots just fine. I've tried using the armbian-config to install it to the eMMC that way; however, all I get are "There are no targets. Please check your drives." What the heck am I doin' wrong? New to the entire SBC realm, and got this instead of the Pi. I don't want a desktop distro installed... just a simple distro w/ bash. Any help would be appreciated... spent the last 6 hours trying to figure this out. This isn't the 'tinkering' I had in mind when I got this thing.…

Hi, I am looking for owners of RK3288 who can help to find missing information in the system. A lot already works from the template. Vcore has been added thanks to @TonyMac32 , but some important information like RAM frequency (dynamic.5.name=dram_frequency) is still missing. This is my adjusted version, but to do some more HW testing we need as much information about the board as possible.

Hi I need to do the following things on my Tinker Board S what i normally do on Raspberry Pi 3: raspi-config; system; Hardware; 5 interfacing options, 6 Serial Would you like a login shell to be accessible over serial? = No Would you like the serial port hardware to be enabled? = Yes then I need to add the following line in the /boot/config.txt dtoverlay=rpi3-minuart-bt This activates the Serial Console on /dev/serial0 Where do I config Serial and how? what is the correct dtoverlay for the miniuar-bt in tinkerboard? does anyone have a hint for me?

Is there a status page like http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort , but for Rockchip? (I suspect there's not. )

Installed the desktop version of Armbian (bionic) on Asus Tinker Board S and noticed that the GPIO Pin 40 is always high on boot up. Please let me know whether this is high by default for any reason and if possible how to set it to Low while start up.

Hi, I've got several tinkerboards that I've reproduced this problem on. I'm using the tinkerboard to do network tests, this includes iperf3 traffic,dns querys (dig), https and http (echoping), and ping. All of these tests runs against IPv6 targets and IPv4 targets. These tests are scheduled to very frequently (every other minute or so). To begin with, all tests run fine.. I get good results (~1gbit throughput / low latency / no packet loss). However, after running the tests for 15-20min, suddenly all traffic will more or less stop working (80-90% packet loss). This is no matter what I'm pinging, can be the local router, some target on the…

Whats the correct way to get the Armbian build to spit boot out as a separate fat partition at the start of the image? Im just getting started with Armbian (on tinker board) and want to integrate it into by own build system. I need to generates SD card images with 3 different configs building 3 separate installs sharing a common multiboot 512MB fat boot partition. I dont need the Armbian build to do the multiboot or manage the boot partition at all, I just want to be able to extract the root & boot fs at the end of the build process.

Hi all, I've got an application that runs from the terminal and with it failing to work on Tinker OS I've gone back to my default OS, Armbian, where it works faultless. However, everything worked great on my own 25" Philips monitor.... The Tinker Boards will be plugged into a number of 1440 x 900 60hz Samsung and LG HDMI monitors; the only screens available where I am. When using these screens I get a 2-3 pixel vertical purple line down the left of the screen and horrific 1 pixel high, long horizontal multi-coloured lines 'snowing' down the screen like old TV interference. The LG monitors consistently flicker on and off trying to change resolution.…

probably a post bragging of my christmas gifts, but mostly just documentation because it really confused and stumbled me from the get go so, my setup was powering tinkerboard (the first revision, without the new fangled eMMCs) via GPIO because it confused the hell out of me how to power this beast. this was powered through the XL4015 buck converter 12.1/12.2 V on input, with ammeter and voltmeter included on the board. (the board was current limited to 5A, because why not? the rk808 is 6A tops) ok from the get go the board powers (not load tested, just power through and run kodi-gbm UI) from 3.4V to 6.2V. undervolting or overvolting it doesnt shuts itself dow…
