Anybody got PCF8563 configured and running on current armbian (25.8.2 noble aarch64) on a C2? i2cdetect -y 0 is seeing the device ID (0x51) and I have added module rtc-pcf8563 but no joy. HWCLOCK does not see the device. Any help would be appreciated. Scott

I have a Odroid C2 that was being used as a TV box with Coreelec, and has now been retired due to upgrade. I want to repurpose the C2 for a completely different role, so I am trying to install Armbian in it. I downloaded the Armbian image from here and followed the official install instructions, but the C2 refuses to boot. The red light turns on when powered but nothing more happens, no other lights, no screen, nothing. Coreelec was booting with no issue, so it must be something I'm setting wrong. Just in case I tried a different SD card and two different images, Bookworm minimal (the one I'm interested in) and Ubuntu Noble XFCE (just to test). Sam…

Hi Seems like headers are missing xtables-addons. During system update it failed and after reboot it stuck. After manualy fixing symlinks for images it booted up, but i couldn't manage to make xt_geoip working again. Tried removing headers and installing them again with armbian-config but still the same

I'm using odroidc2 installed with Armbian 24.11.1 Noble Gnome to an eMMC card After the OS installation, power cycled and it went through the process of configuring the root password and initial user account. All was successful. However, once the system shows the greeter screen, the system is frozen. It does not respond to keystrokes nor mouse movement. The blue light on the odroidc2 continues to flash. I also used the USB/UART module to see the start up messages and to login. When the boot process is complete it prompts for user login but it does not accept any keystrokes. The serial port output is attached wtminicom.log

Hello, after upgrading the Odroid C2 to the current Version on 16.08.2024 the USB-devices do not work at all. According to the diagnosis information they are recognized during during bootup. But later they are disconnected for an unknown reason. https://paste.armbian.com/jucovipaxo lsusb only lists two devices: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05e3:0610 Genesys Logic, Inc. Hub Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub The suggested hack "usbcore.autosuspend=-1" for USB-problems is already activated, but USB doesn't work anyway Maybe there is a solution for this strange behavior of my C2.

Hi, I'm curious, is there any qualitative difference between the dedicated application images and the Minimal image followed by a "normal" manual installation of the given application? For example OpenMediaVault (OMV) which comes with tailored installation instructions for Armbian. IOW, does the dedicated application image "only " take care of the OMV installation for you, or is there more to it which I might miss when installing OMV myself (on top of the minimal image)? Thanks!

It looks like there is a linux-headers mismatch in those two images: Armbian_24.11.1_Odroidhc4_bookworm_current_6.6.60_minimal.img Armbian_24.11.1_Odroidhc4_noble_current_6.6.60-kisak.img Installed those linux-headers: apt install linux-headers-current-meson64 I tried then to install ZFS module, and it failed: Setting up zfs-dkms (2.2.5-1~bpo12+1) ... Loading new zfs-2.2.5 DKMS files... Building for 6.6.60-current-meson64 Module build for kernel 6.6.60-current-meson64 was skipped since the kernel headers for this kernel do not seem to be installed. root@odroidhc4:~# dpkg -l | grep li…

Colleagues, please help me because I don't know what this error is. I wanted to install some minimal version of Armbian to install OpenMediaVault on my Odroid C2 and every time I see such an error, before I do anything I boot the system to a freshly installed one...

How to configure headless similar to the instructions in HardKernel's Wiki? https://wiki.odroid.com/odroid-xu4/application_note/software/headless_setup?s[]=headless#change_resolution_in_xorgconf I'm guessing the device is different?... Also what wold be the rest of the xorg.conf settings? The wiki page only shows the part that should be modified. Thanks.

Odroid-C2 (there was no adequate tag) After I upgraded my ssd install from 23.11.1 to 24.2.1, the board didn't boot. When starting 24.2.1 from a fresh sd card, usb and disk leds are on, and the board boots. But they don't show in lsusb. If I reconnect them after the board is booted, the leds stay off (and obviously they don't show in lsusb). Of course, booting from external ssd stops at some point, because usb is lost during the boot (when connecting a display, the failures start to happen on armbian services). Had to restore previous release 23.11.1 from backup on my ssd. Everything works again.

hy guys is it possible to boot the odroid c2 from usb? so i can connect a ssd (M.2 SATA) via usb connector and use this. thank you

Hello community, I'm a beginner with all that kernel and modules stuff, so please be kind, if I am asking stupid questions. My plan is to install a Hifi-Shield on my C2, but so far had no luck: modprobe: FATAL: Module snd_soc_pcm512x not found in directory /lib/modules/ Found out, that some modules are present under /lib... e.g. /lib/modules/5.15.0-105-generic/kernel/sound/soc/codecs/snd-soc-pcm512x.ko (cave:this is example from my ubuntu I'm writing on) some other modules are in fact missing. I found similar modules here: https://github.com/3isenHeiM/HiFi-Shield-Plus/blob/master/sound/soc/aml/m8/snd-soc-odroid-dac.ko …

I have two Odroid C2s. One I have been using as NUT server for Eaton UPS. Today NUT clients report no connection. What seems to be the problem is the C2 (this happens with both, same SD card) are not seeing devices plugged into USB ports so the USB connection to the UPS is not working. I have verified the Eaton and USB cable are fine. I regularly update the C2 I wonder if a recent update has affected the USB port functioning? Any way to troubleshoot? I tried a few USB flash drives and then lsusb but none are seen.

Hi, I downloaded the jammy xfce image for ODROID C2 today: MD5SUM 033fbc0babb56db5388b4c707a2fc0ce Armbian_23.11.1_Odroidc2_jammy_current_6.1.63_xfce_desktop.img.xz After flashing it onto my SD card with xzcat and dd, I tried to boot with my Odroid C2 ending up with this error message: ALERT!

Hi, So I found out the hard way that neither jammy nor bullseye builds for odroid c2 actually allow ssh at first boot My board is headless, but has a wired connection to my lan and always gets assigned the same address. Which file or files do I need to edit to ssh into it without having to do initial setup first, please?

I've tried a few images of the latest builds. None of them start. Odroid starts to power the screen and I see blinking lights, but screen goes dark and it seems to cycle like this. I use USB power for it and a powered hub (so basically no power output to USB dongles, etc.)

I tested the latest available Armbian image (minimal installation) on my odroid C2 via SD card. have available an 16gb hardkernel emmc card on which I had ubuntu 20.04 installed and running.

I waited more than 30 seconds, I tried to disconnect keyboard....I waited more than 30 seconds, I tried to disconnect keyboard I have repeated the procedure through the SD and it works correctly.

Hello all! I have an ODROID-C2 that I am trying to use with a GPS connected over UART for timing purposes, which requires the use of pps. Based on my searching and reading in this forum, I have determined that for my OS and kernel (Focal, 5.9.14) I should be able to do so by adding overlay=pps-gpio to armbianEnv.txt. What is not clear to me, however, is how to specify which pin to use! In this thread I see windysea said: But I don't know how to use this information! I have found no documentation on param_pps_*, and my attempts at guessing based on information from other threads and resources have failed to work so far. I have been fiddling…
