Hi all, what would be the correct way in recent Armbian distributions to bring up a CAN interface? As far as I'm aware NetworkManager does not support CAN interfaces Ifupdown somehow feels deprecated nowadays systemd-networkd.service seems to be masked by default Any insight would be appreciated.

I just want to inform you, that tonight's system update showed this error: Hardware: Hardkernel Odroid C4 System: Armbian 25.5.2 bookworm (Debian Bookworm) --> As the issue is still present, I think I'd should going to inform you.

I have been running Armbian on a Pinebook Pro without issues. I use the stable distribution, but after an update about a week ago (I think) the Panfrost driver has stopped working. When logging into the desktop environment (Cinnamon) the symptom is a black screen with a cursor visible but nothing else. Checking the logs I see a bunch of lines like: > Mar 20 09:29:05 pine kernel: [ 534.502108] panfrost ff9a0000.gpu: js fault, js=0, status=DATA_INVALID_FAULT, head=0xb9f2b40, tail=0xb9f2b40 If I log in by disabling hardware rendering (choosing "Cinnamon (Software Rendering)") then the desktop does display and work (albeit very slow…

I successfully update to Oracular from Noble on my OPZ2 but it is missing dependencies since it requires base-files >=24.11.1. Oracular base-files have not been updated to 24.11.x branch. https://armbian.hosthatch.com/apt/pool/oracular-utils/b/base-files/

I'm trying to build an abian trixie image with the CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_MIPI_DBI support module enabled in the kernel. However, no matter how many times I build, when checking the modinfo module, panel-mipi-dbi is not found. In the /boot/config(kernel) configuration, the line is commented out: #CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_MIPI_DBI is not set I set M to the panel-mipi-dbi kernel module parameter. I also set Y to the parameter. I also tried adjusting the .config file before running the image build. I used both Docker and non-Docker builds. I'm using Ubuntu 22.04.

Can I build an Armbian x64 image for my NUC14? This PC requires linux kernel 6.14 for all driver support for the nuc14, like Ubuntu 25.04.

After building many images, often there are combinations of kernel, sbc card and linux base that will just give an error, like this one: Getting sources from Git [ kernel:6.1 rk-6.1-rkr5.1 ] fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/home/steven/build/cache/git-bare/shallow-kernel-6.1' To add an exception for this directory, call: git config --global --add safe.directory /home/steven/build/cache/git-bare/shallow-kernel-6.1 [💥] Error 128 occurred in main shell [ at /home/steven/build/lib/functions/logging/runners.sh:211 run_host_command_logged_raw() --> lib/functions/logging/runners.sh:211 run_host_command_logged() --…

Hi Guys, I am looking for an OEM camera for my Robotic ARM project. Can anyone suggest me a camera that can be compatible with NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin development kit? I came across e-con Systems’ cameras that can be compatible with Jetson AGX Orin. Has anyone tried e-con Systems’ cameras before? The listed cameras are perfectly suiting my needs. But I would like to know if any other options are available in the market. It would be great if you could suggest me the same.

On Armbian 25.2.1, I can't find package tags. In contrast, on a pure Debian host (non-armbian), the command "apt-cache show gcc" says in part: Tag: devel::compiler, devel::lang:c, devel::library, implemented-in::c, interface::commandline, role::devel-lib, role::metapackage, role::program, suite::gnu, works-with::software:source I'd also like to see tags on Armbian so I can search for packages based on their tags. Thanks.

So I am following instructions for how to install Kiauh on Arbmian. I am using a terminal on my PC through PuTTY. I have cloned the Kiauh files to my device successfully, I have verified they are there, but whenever I try to run the shell using sh ./kiauh/kiauh.sh I get the response 'unknown': I need something more specific. This is the least useful error message I have ever seen. I can't find anyone having had this issue and I am dead in the water. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Hello everybody, i have installed the current Armbian version on my banana pi m5 (Image-data: Armbian_22.11.1_bananapim5_bullseye_edge_6.0.10.img). the system starts and the login works without problems, but I can't update and upgrade anything. When I used the command apt update && apt upgrade, I get the following error: https://ibb.co/jbRcJwk Is this problem already known and can anyone help me with it?

Hi, I am testing armbian with openhab on odroid C4. Sometimes it can be handy to login via Remote desktop to my machine. I enabled RDP through armbian -config, but I can not remote desktop to the machine. When i connect trough renmina or windows rdp, i get the xrdp login screen, but when i enter user and pasword, i get thrown out of the programm, be it srenmina or windows remote desktop. So the problem seems to be on the armbian side. Any suggestions where to look to fix shis? Armbian version 22.11.1 running on odroid C4. Thks in advance

I have been trying to download Ubuntu 24.04 Desktop images with Armbian Linux v6.6 for Jetson Nano of which the image size is 1.5gb. But the download always stopped at 200+MB. Anyone know why? Thank you.

Hi I just managed to ssh into my banana pi m2 zero. I noticed it had python 3.10 already installed. But when I tried to pip install, every package ends up saying: ``` ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement dearpygui (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for dearpygui ``` no matter what package I try. I also tried installing miniconda but the aarch64.sh version for some reason uses conda.exe and the installation process stops there. How do I fix this?

Hi everyone, I installed Armbian 23.11 Jammy-amazingfated Gnome to my Orange Pi 5 Plus and it works nicely. The problem I am having is that I cannot wake up SBC if it goes to sleep. Is there any known solution? If not what can I do to troubleshoot the problem? Puska

Hi everyone, I'm running a few services on an Armbian-based SBC and need a reliable SMTP Service Provider for system alerts, backup reports, and application notifications. Has anyone here used SMTP Service Provider iDealSMTP with Armbian, or compared it with other SMTP solutions for lightweight ARM servers? I'm interested in deliverability, ease of setup, and long-term reliability. I'd appreciate any experiences or recommendations. Thanks!

I am trying to debug some sporadic issues with my wireless chip (AP6212 - on a BPI-M2 Zero). Looking through other forum posts, I'm wondering if the proper firmware is being loaded, as well as the proper NVRAM settings. I'm not new to Linux (I started using Linux around 97), but I haven't really dove into wireless firmware before, and it's all pretty mysterious to me. A previous forum post points out that the AP6212-specific firmware might not be being loaded. I checked, and in fact, it wasn't loading the firmware from the AP6212 (it looked like it wasn't loading any firmware - it was looking for brcmfmac43430-sdio.sinovoip,bpi-m2-zero.bin but only brcmfmac43430-sdio.…

armbian jammy, uptodate a/o yesterday, on 6 pack of bananapi-m5's running a 3d printer farm. You made chrome the default browser, which has port 80 high jacked for all of googles BS. So you can't use chrome for local web page troubleshooting, or to run klipper. localhost:80 is not accessible, neither is the machines fqdn:80. Can this bit of commercial hi-jacking be defeated? FF, installed as a snap and auto-updated nightly works fine, but because its a snap, must be restarted every day. That is a classic PITA. So, how do I make FF's snap the default browser?

Hello, I encounted an issue with chromium. By default, armbian has PSD (profile-sync-deamon) enabled, and when chromium started, it links the profile dir (~/.config/chromium) to /run/user/1000/chromium-user However, it breaks the cookies. If I reboot the box, and start chromium to visit a website I logged in, the login session was lost. I took me much time to understand the reason, finally I found it's the symbolic link. The temp solution for me is that I disabled the psd service, and the profile directory won't become a symbolic link. Now it works well. Next, I tried to find if it is psd or the symbolic link. I copied the profil…

Hello I'm trying to setup OpenCL on Armbian 22.04 Xfce. I have an Orange Pi 5 board. I observed that there is a libOpenCL.so under /usr/lib/aarch{...} but when I echo "libOpenCL.so" into /etc/OpenCL/vendors/mali.icd, clinfo still says "Number of devices: 0". By the way, on Ubuntu 22.04 Xfce, clinfo works after following the exact same steps. Anyone any ideas? Thanks !!!

There is a previous topic on this from 2020, but it's closed and not much action was taken except discussing workarounds. I'd like to continue this. Looking at the kernel configs in this repo, many of them have CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED=y. This does not play nicely with modern systemd (cgroups v2), breaking things like rtkit-daemon. See https://bugs.gentoo.org/569546 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=655321. rtkit is an important part of making pulseaudio and pipewire work smoothly, as well as for many other low-latency applications. There are a few currently available workarounds, but none are ideal: 1. Linux 6.16 or later has boot ti…

Hi, I built a NAS with a Raspberry PI. It runs ARMBIAN 5.46, a SAMBA server and an NFS server. There are also 5 disks that are combined as RAID5. Since yesterday I can no longer log in, neither via SSH nor directly on the Raspberry Pi. When I try via SSH, I get the password query, the start message about the current status and then the connection is closed. When I log in directly to the system, I get the login query (username and password) and then the message "Module is unknown". Then the login request comes again. What can I do without reinstalling the system? Thanks for the help. Jens

Hey everyone, I want to share something pretty simple that I was working on: a way to customize the official image, maybe it's not the best way of doing it, but it worked for my needs. https://github.com/thiagosanches/yet-another-armbian-bakery/ The main goal is: WIFI up at the first boot. Make some small adjustments on SSH configuration. Change root password. Add a pi user. Add a public key so I can connect orange pi through and manage it through ansible (important topic). Any thoughts? It ain't much but it's a honest work!

Steps to repeat the bug: 1) use the cross platform PoC written in C, the Python one that everyone is sharing contains obfuscated code (bad ju-ju) and is x86_64 specific `git clone https://github.com/tgies/copy-fail-c` `cd copy-fail-c` 2) compile either on your target device natively, or do what I did and cross-compile it as a static binary using an aarch64-linux-musl toolchain (this made it easy to test on different SBCs) `PREFIX="/opt/toolchains/aarch64-linux-musl-cross" CC=aarch64-linux-musl-gcc LD=aarch64-linux-musl-ld CFLAGS="-static -fPIC -I/opt/toolchains/aarch64-linux-musl-cross/include -L/opt/toolchains/aarch64-linux-musl-cross/lib" LDFLAG…

This race condition affects sshd in its default configuration. Are we affected running Armbian ?

Hello, I downloaded recent Armbian image for Orange Pi PC Plus - 23.05.1. When I run it, the screen resolution is 720x576 and virtual resolution 1024x768. I changed armbianEnv.txt - defined disp_mode=1280x800p60 (this is what I need) and also used fbset command in my application and it works in most cases, but sometimes after system restart the screen resolution is the default (720x576) and can't be changed - I get error - "ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument". How can this be fixed? Thanks in advance.

I have a Banana Pi M64 running Armbian 24.11.1 jammy, which has both a hard wired Ethernet connection and also WiFi. I have several other computers with both Ethernet and WiFi connections. I have my local DHCP servers set up to offer the same local IP address to both the Ethernet and Wireless NICs. For most (all but the Banana Pi M64 running Armbian 24.11.1 jammy) this is fine: both NICs get the same IP address and things work fine (generally traffic goes on one NIC). I do this in case I need to unplug the Ethernet cable (which would cause things to "fail over" to wireless). The Banana Pi M64 used to also be fine with the same IP address on both its Ethernet and its W…

I'm using Bluetouch in my iPhone as a bluetooth mouse (rarely when needed) for my OrangePi/Armbian/Kodi setup. All fine with that… except… with my iPhone paired to the OrangePi, it also connects all its audio to the OrangePi, *all the time* when in range, unless I completely disable bluetooth from the iPhone. According to the only instructions I've found, I've tried setting [General] Enable= in `/etc/bluetooth/main.conf`, and restarting the bluetooth service, but the only effect this has is that there's no audible output. The phone still connects its audio to the box, just with no audible output. How to completely disable Armbian from advert…

I am using the latest Armbian Noble image (version 6.6.8) on my Banana Pi CM4. For my application, I am utilizing the Linux UART (/dev/ttyAML0), which is currently printing dmesg logs on this port.

Hi! On the Orange Pi 5 plus with the 6.1 image (KDE), with a 4k monitor @ 60FPS and 200% scaling, when opening discord on Chrome it gets incredibly laggy. I'm just curious, is this a limitation with the GPU itself, or is this related to something in the software stack? Thanks!

Hi, I've been trying out the jammy image for the raspberry pi. (Raspberry pi 4b) I found a problem with the display settings.

Hello community! I’ve been a lurker for a while and recently flashed the latest Armbian Jammy onto a spare NanoPi NEO I had lying around. I'm currently designing a headless DIY time-tracking kiosk for a small local workshop using an RC522 RFID reader via SPI. Reading the RFID tags and logging the raw Unix timestamps (punch-in/punch-out) to a local SQLite database was the easy part. Where I'm getting a bit stuck is the actual backend calculation logic. I need the system to accurately calculate the daily net working hours, which means automatically deducting mandatory statutory breaks (e.g., 30 mins after 6 hours of work) and tracking daily overtime. …

Hi, After a fresh install of the stable Debian minimal/IOT image, creating the first user and switching to it, then installing the docker environment results in a non-functional docker. To be more precise everything seems to be running, only a few oddities, when installing docker, like being stuck on some steps (socket related) for way too long, then eventually carrying on and finishing with no errors... (instructions used to install docker) Also when the system reboots at least a minute has to pass with no CPU or any other observable utilisation for any docker container to automatically start. all of the above would be fine and I would chalk it…

Hello, I'm planning on building a network router with the Orange Pi Zero Plus, similar to the Raspberry Pi diagram below, but I'm not sure if the Orange Pi supports Vlan. If so, how do I implement it into my OpenWrt image? Thank you all.

I think I have everything setup, nm even says its connected, but isn't. With about 15 entries in FQDN format in the /etc/hosts file, and the hostname set to whats before the first dot of one of the entries, ip a still doesn't show an ipv4 address. and ip r is an empty return. What all do I need to set?, it all looks kosher to me.

I’m trying to help people use my Pi Hat with RPi clones and everything works, except for the DS18B20 temperature sensors. Using current versions of Armbian on both a Banana Pi M2 Zero, a Banana Pi M4 Berry, and an Orange Pi 3B, but no devices show up in /sys/bus/w1/devices. /etc/modules contains: w1-gpio w1-therm /boot/armbianEnv.txt contains: overlays=w1-gpio param_w1_pin=PA6 param_w1_pin_int_pullup=1 NOTE: PA6 is used so that it matches up with the default 1-Wire pin used on an RPi. These hats are already built, I can’t change this to a different pin.

I have to be upfront: I'm not a developer. I'm an ops/observability engineer who knows how to use software to get things done. I know a bit of Go — not much — and I have no formal background in software design. What I do know is what I need, and what was missing. So I built it. Take the code with that in mind. The problem I run a Kobol Helios64 as my home NAS — a five-bay ARM board that's been sitting in a sweet spot between "serious hardware" and "abandoned by its software ecosystem." I tried the usual NAS UIs. They were either too heavy, too opinionated about owning the underlying OS, or simply unmaintained. None of them gave me a clean window in…

I'm not sure where to report this. I think this is a common problem across distros for arm. I had this same problem with manjaro arm a month ago. On a fresh install of armbian. 24.3 cli. Emacs 28.x is available. It is missing a lot of elpa packages because of out of date gpg keys. It cannot find elpa.gnu packages. It is, for me, completely unable to load and use my emacs configuration. Package-initialize and package-refresh-contents do not fix it. I built the current emacs from source, it's version 29.3 and that works much better.

Hi all, I'm still working on video hwaccel with some progress. Can anyone provide a confirmed working ffmpeg command line for camera capture and hardware encoding? I dont care about the platform, either rockchip or anything else, no matter about kernel or arbiam version. Using v4l2request is the only requirement. I'm using either 7.1.1 with libreelec patches or @Kwiboo's fork. I know there are a bunch of threads here and elswhere in the web but most are outdated, dealing with vaapi or other stuff, but I want to stay on v4l2 which seems to be the future. Thanks! T.

Hello guys! Firefox Homepage point to https://www.armbian.com. How can I change address of default page?

I have an Odroid HC1 I'm trying to install Armbian 22.11 Bullseye (Armbian_22.11.1_Odroidxu4_bullseye_current_5.4.225.img) on and on first boot I can see it grab an IP on my network etc, however when I try to SSH I get "Connection Refused". The HC1 has no video output so SSH is sorely needed here. As a test I flashed Armbian 22.11 Jammy (Armbian_22.11.1_Odroidxu4_jammy_current_5.4.225.img) to the SDCard, booted it and was able to SSH to it just fine so it's not hardware/network related. I need Bullseye to install openmediavault. Anyone have ideas?

I am about ready to shoot my want to be server. I have an Ubuntu samba server running a public share on my LAN. The share has no username or password required to make it windows friendly. No other system has issues accessing it. I have a new ROCK64 running Armbian 23.11.1 Bookworm CLI. It will not mount a CIFS share at boot, but will mount it with a mount -a command.

Hello everyone! I’m new to the forum and recently set up Armbian on my Orange Pi using the latest July 2025 image. I’m working on a user-space application to monitor fuel consumption for IoT projects involving vehicle fleets, like optimizing diesel trucks. I’m thinking of something that could run via armbian-config or as a Python script, pulling data from fuel sensors. So far, my idea is to log consumption data and calculate efficiency based on user input. I’ve tried Grafana, but it lacks a dedicated fuel calculator—kalkulatorpaliwa.com.pl could serve as a starting point for a simple interface. I’m unsure how to approach this on Armbian—should I use Python with Mat…

Sharing this here since it's a general-purpose tool rather than anything board-specific: GOESB is an open, reproducible benchmark for on-device speech-to-text — hash-verified results, official profiles + open packs so numbers are directly comparable across hardware, no account needed to submit. The problem it's trying to solve: if you're picking hardware for a local voice/STT workload, vendor numbers don't tell you much and blog posts go stale fast. GOESB is meant to be the place you can actually check "does this board run faster-whisper medium in real time, or do I need to drop to tiny and eat the accuracy hit." Right now the leaderboard is entirely x86…

Hello! I am looking to set up edge monitoring for both rising and falling edges. I can monitor either individually but I cannot activate both edges. I receive: genirq: setting trigger mode 3 for irq 36 failed (meson_gpio_irq_set_type+0x0/0x60) I have attempted to use mraa-gpio, gpiod, and sysfs all with the same result. I'm on a Radxa Zero running Armbian 23.5 Jammy (Kernel 6.1.y). Interestingly if I attempt to run Manjaro on this board I can interface with the pins to get the values and set direction but I have no edge detection. Is the GPIO driver in Armbian patched for Amlogic Meson G12A? Hoping I'm posting in the right place! …

Basic tool to change screen orientation and its touch input on gnome wayland desktops. Built for Gnome Wayland and displays without automatic touch input rotation after orientation change. Sadly xrandr and xinput are things of the past in times of wayland. And since I mounted a FHD touchscreen to my rock-5b which can be rotated, this caused some trouble for me. Mabye useful fur other people mounting displays with touch support on their SBC's in crazy spots 😛 Basically it's just a combination of gnome-randr.py and creating a udev rule with calibration matrix. Fun project to test out chatGPT 😀 https://github.com/fraz0815/gptouch

Hi folks, Can anyone confirm which if any boards / cpus have functioning HDMI eARC suport? I've seen OrangePI 5 mentioning they have support, but it's unclear if the software support is there in any way; i assume all rk3588 (or likley hdmi 2.1 certified) boards will have hdmi (hardware) support. Similar with Khadas VIM3L or VIM4; hardware support is mentioned w/o any clarity on the software support. Thanks!

Hello, I have a 5.5" waveshare hdmi screen. For some reason it is blank on all my SBCs. Vim3, vim4 with armbian so far. It works perfectly for my Mac mini running Arch. I've tested cables and power. It has instructions for special settings to add to pi os' /boot/config.txt. Hdmi_force_hotplug=1 Among other things. Is it possible I need the same for armbian? Where would that go?

Headless armbian minimal OS installation from armbian imager still expects SSH login to complete first time configuration I configured a static IP in armbian imager profile and root password and other user name and password and also other settings.

Hello. I own a Orange Pi 5 Plus. This SBC has a RGB led and Armbian uses it to show the system load as a heartbeat blink. The problem is that the 3 colors are out of sync later than 15 minutes from boot. Is there a way to resync the 3 colors? Thanks.

Hello everyone, I’m currently trying to develop an Electron-based application to run on the Orange Pi PC Plus (ARM platform), but I’ve hit a few roadblocks in the build process. My goal is to package and distribute the app so it can be run directly on this specific device, but I’m struggling with issues related to cross-compiling and creating binaries compatible with its architecture. Has anyone here successfully built and deployed an Electron app on an Orange Pi or a similar ARM board? I would really appreciate any guidance, tips, or recommended tools for accomplishing this.

Im using armbian server edition. Im trying to setup my box to route internet from end0 (192.168.1.6) to internet on usb0 (dhcp). Im running dns & dhcp via docker adguard - but assume thats not working for now because once the nftable rules are applied I cannot access their web interfaces. But for now ping with ip is okay. With my current setup I can ping the internet from the 'router' via the interface usb0. But I cannot ping from the interface end0. ping 8.8.8.8 -I usb0 <- works ping 8.8.8.8 -I end0 <- Destination Host Unreachable Do I need to setup any static routes? Or should nftables handle all the routing? Ive t…

If you ever got a solid green frame trying to play H.265 through the RK3588 VA-API driver — on any image, any board — here's the closure: it was never your setup. HEVC never worked in this driver. It advertised the profiles, but there was no HEVC bitstream assembler in the code; the VPU received unparseable data and handed back empty (green) buffers. Two years, every user, same green. The assembler now exists on the deep-ink branch, and the verification is numeric, not eyeballed: hardware-decoded frames compared pixel-by-pixel against software decode — identical, at 8-bit and at 4K HDR10 (Main10). The comparison tools are committed (tools/hevc-ladder.sh) so you c…

Hi mates, unfortunately I've lot of problems with IPv6, the programs I use love to use IPv6 to bind their TCP ports and not IPv4, I suppose this is not up to them but the kernel suggest/force them use it first. How can I get completely rid of IPv6? I want to kill it completely, it doesn't matter for me to enable it in future. I've disabled using armbian-config and checked /etc/sysctl.conf, there are these lines: net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1 net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1 net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1 but thy don't have affect. Maybe this is a bug of armbian? I suppose so.. Thanks for support

I got armbian installed on orange pi5 plus. in the orangepi distro, here's in the manual to open the HDMI in I can't find the options on armbian.

Hello, Yesterday I was doing an upgrade on my NanoPi T6, and then I got a kernel panic and no boot. I am currently running kernel 6.1.84 To recover my information through a new mmc card I put armbian with kernel 6.12. And I logged in by doing a chroot. There used to be an option to install a newer kernel via armbian-config, but I can't find that option now. Is there any way how i can put on my current server a newer kernel or through cli which packages should i install. Greetings, A.H.

I just installed Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.732_Rockpi-4bplus_trixie_current_6.18.22_minimal on a Rockpi-4bplus. How do I install the correct Linux headers?

OK, there's a corresponding option in armbian-config, and it seems to run successfully, but for some reason, I only see linux-headers-6.12.74+deb13+1-arm64 and linux-headers-6.12.74+deb13+1-common in /usr/src.
