I've taken peeks at threads related to hardware decoding (of H.264 and HEVC, mainly) on Allwinner and Rockchip platforms on and off, sometimes dabbled in trying and failing to implement solutions recommended there. Being a complete amateur, I find the topic very opaque and confusing, with various different components that need to interface with each other, be patched in sync, and sometimes change drastically between kernel versions, etc. Today I sat down and read up on these subjects, scouring wikis, documentation, this forum, and assorted other sources to try and understand how this works. In this post I will attempt to compile what I've learned on the different software…

Armbian implements some basic 'system logging' at every startup and shutdown and contains a little utility to provide this collected information combined with some more useful debug info from user installations. All that's needed is executing 'sudo armbianmonitor -u' (or armbian-config --> Software --> Diagnostics) and then all this support related information is uploaded to an online pasteboard service automagically (see example output) How to interpret this wall of text? The output is best read from bottom to top since the most important information is collected during upload: At the bottom /proc/interrupts contents to chec…

Hi there, I have been using Ubuntu stock from Hardkernel but it is worse than a kick upon my jewels... As usual only Armbian is the way to go, however I personally dislike Ubuntu therefore I'd like to go with Debian but I didn't get the difference between CLI and Minimal. Can anyone advise me? Thanks in advance, F.

Hello everyone, I was used to use the cubox-i running on a hummingboard (2 years ago) and tried to install a pps source using pps-gpio module and the GPIO1 (pin 7) of the HummingBoard jumpers. Given that pps-gpio requires an entry in the device tree for pps, and I couldn't find/patch/recompile again sources (image was built by another person), I decompiled the imx6q-hummingvboard.dtb present in /boot, then modified it adding : pps { compatible = "pps-gpio"; gpios = <0x01 0x01 0x01>; }; and then I recompiled this source and copied into /boot. When I rebooted, the new /dev/pps1 was created and the pulses were rece…

So, back again. I keep seeing the ethernet connection dropped. When logging in by USB the login reports IP <blank> (see picture). I saw this previously (see full set of traumas here https://organicmonkeymotion.wordpress.com/category/orange-pi/). Happens now on freshly burnt image using Etcher. Ran for two days. The problem also manifested using an image burnt with WIN32DiskImager so we can discount any FS corruption assumptions - the Etcher burn reported no errors. Call it "Phantom Ethernet" in honour of Screaming Jeeby - that is the board is haunted wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…

Hello, I'm new to Armbian. I've recently tried Olimex's image for a13 (https://github.com/OLIMEX/build). I saw (and read) on armbian's guide that there's the possibility to customize images build. I need to add two specific drivers (smsc95xx for my eth interface and uvcvideo for my webcam) to kernel. I can find their sources in build\cache\sources\linux-mainline\linux-5.0.y\drivers, but they are not listed in various "modules.order" files (ok, so that's why my devices doesn't get loaded). If I want to add these modules to kernel the only way is to create a patch for "modules.order" in userpatches\kernel (if it's the right directory), or there's a …

Is there a difference between installing Armbian and then OMV via Softy vs the OMV images?

Hi Guys, I am working with Orange and Banana Pi development boards all with a minimum og 8GB eMMC chips. I am looking for a process to clone a working system to an SD card and using it as a checkpoint for my configuration changes so should I mess things up I can revert to the previous checkpoint. I have used 'dd' in the past but it is considerably bigger than the standard install images and it slows down the recovery process quite a lot. Is there a better way for me to clone the working system to an SD card. Thank you in advance, Rick

I had boards like Asus TinkerBoard or others with AMLogic chips that have the hardware support but lack the software part. Does Armbian have support for some SBCs with "true" video acceleration for linux? (aka vendor is not an asshole that doesn't share the required drivers to use the features it sells?).

Hello everyone, i'm currently running a Nanopi M4 on Armbian 4.4.190-rk3399 with a DVBSky S960 DVB-S tuner. I always compiled the modules "dvb_usb_dvbsky", "m88ds3103", "ts2020" and "dvb_usb_v2" manually to enable support on Armbian. But since the upgrade to 4.4.190-rk3399, every time I try load the module "dvb_usb_dvbsky" I get a segmentation fault and my board completely locks up. I really have no clue what to do and would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance! Here is the corresponding dmesg log: Spoiler Oct 3 00:32:32 localhost kernel: [ 7.874055] usb 5-1.1.4.2: dvb_usb_v2: found a 'DVBSky S960/S86…

Hello, I'm porting one of my application to Armbian. But where can I found libkms ? I did a apt-cache search but it didn't found anything ? Thanks Laurent

Hi, I hope this is the right place to post this question. I just installed Armbian onto a Odroid XU4 and it looks great but I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I can't paste more than about 146 characters into the terminal. I'm logged in over SSH. I'm trying to create a text file by pasting the contents in from my mac's clipboard and every time it only pasts the last ~140 characters of the text. I've tried everything and searched everywhere and can't figure out where this is being limited. Any help would be greatly appreciated : ) Joel.

Hello. I created a HotSpot with my Orange Pi Zero H2 with the latest version of Armbian Bionic. Everything seems to work, but I need the access point to reserve dynamic IPs, ie for a device with MAC address XX.XX.XX.XX.XX I have to reserve and then assign a specific IP address XXX.XXX. XXX.XXX. Any idea how to configure this HotSpot? Do I have to add some commands to the hostapd.conf file or what? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi I was using my R4S with OpenWRT and with an Elekel WiFi AC dongle without any problem. Now, I've just installed the newest Armbian but I don't know how to use my WiFi dongle. Armbian-config doesn't recognize it ... probably because the driver is not installed. How can I install it? Best regards and thank you in advance

Hi forum. I have a board on allwinner 64. I can compare that video playback in a browser on a 5.4 kernel is better than on a 5.10.89 kernel. the browsers are the same from the repository. can anyone tell what this is related to?

A month or two back, when I installed Armbian, I had to revert to an older kernel, 5.10.63-rockchip64, which has known vulnerabilities. I needed to be able to boot off of a USB 3 HDD, so I had to revert it and hold updates for the kernel/kernel headers. These are the commands I used to revert to the older kernel: sudo apt install linux-dtb-current-rockchip64=21.08.2 linux-image-current-rockchip64=21.08.2 sudo apt-mark hold linux-dtb-current-rockchip64 linux-image-current-rockchip64 Fast forward to today, where the issue with USB 3 has been apparently resolved in the latest kernel, I tried to unhold the kernel/kernel header updates, that seemed to work. …

Dear All, I am using Jammy with kernel 5.18 on hold, but yesterday I noticed very important updates that were kept back because the kernel is locked, such s: armbian-bsp-cli-odroidhca armbian-firmware linux-dtb-edge-meson64 linux-headers-edge-meson64 linux-image-edge-meson64 linux-u-boot-odroidhc4-edge I wonder if is worth to update or if I had better to stick with my current setup, where my main feature — ZFS — is working. What's your recommendations? Thanks in advance! F.

Hello everyone Friends, maybe someone will give clear instructions on how to download armbian from an external ssd on the khadas vim2 board? Now I have armbian installed in emc and ubuntu images created by the developer khadas are loaded without problems. But I can't get armbian to work with ssd in any way. I will be grateful for any help!

Hi Guys, I'm new on Armbian but not on Linux in general. I was pleased to see an up-to-date armbian release for my nanopi-r4s with a kernel greater than 6.x ! 🤗 For my first day, it's pretty good and I can find most of the things I was looking for (even ripgrep). But, I have a look at the services and I've found that haveged is still set. For what I know, since 5.18 version, "Linus" changed his mind for entropy (see https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-5.18-RNG). You can have a look at /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail which is always set to 256 now. Thanks again and best regards !

Hey there! I've just bought a used Orange Pi 5, according to the owner he never managed too boot up the first time, because he said it was bricked, for the price he offered for the device and accessories I thought I'd give it a go.. and yeah, I tried to install on different microSD cards, Armbian, OrangePi Os, Android 12 for Orange Pi, many tries but none of them booted or did anything after waiting even 15min. If I set the device into maskrom mode it enters the mode but it gives error to anything I try.

Hi, Just something I have found, not sure if this is an 'issue' but it definitely caught me out and took a while to figure out and fix. I have several armbian machines (Odroid C2, BananaPi Pro) all running Jessie or Stretch and all working fine. A recent project of mine (using Armbian on a BPi Pro) was to build a Pi-Hole DNS. Some time after doing that I noticed that none of the Armbian machines would successfully run 'apt update' whilst other unix machines including a RPi running raspbian were all fine. DNS config was fine, I could see requests hit the Pi-Hole and be answered. nslookup / dig on the armbian machines all worked fine b…

Hi, I compiled from scratch an armbian image and kernel, and in these ones the eMMC /dev/mmcblk1 is not present. If I try the (outdated 4.14) official images, the eMMC is present. Any ideas ? Thanks https://pastebin.pl/view/ba06da6f

In the past I used a lower end Sandisk's and used external flash drive with nand-sata-install to move system due to endurance. What is the status as of today? Are Sandisk Ultra A1's better than flash drives (i.e. not special "high endurance" ones). I need to ask because the installation is not easy to reach (another part of the city) and current problems may be because of flash failure (didn't get my hand on the devices yet). Any pointers will be much appreciated. PS: I found this today, very interesting read... https://www.delkin.com/technology/flash-endurance/

Very often when i do apt update or apt dist-upgrade some of the armbian mirrors acts up and pretty much denies connections (it isnt the generic debian mirrors as other distros are working fine).

How do I get this to work? for example some times i have to retry up to 10 times before I can get apt to work (when I try manually).

Etcher understands zip, gzip, bzip2, and I don't know what all else. But it has no idea what a 7z file is. So I have link in proximity for two of the three binaries I need to get, and the third buried in grey on black text at the bottom of the page where nobody will see it and instead they will feel compelled to go out to find it on their own. Are 7z files really enough smaller than bz2 that it's worth this?

Dear Sir/Madam, We integrate IR remote with Orange pi lite using Armbian bionic( which apk is available in Orange pi lite website) , we followed the steps which is mentioned in the below link. http://codelectron.com/how-to-setup-infrared-remote-control-in-orange-pi-zero-using-lircd-and-python/ After recording the buttons , if we press the IR remote, we get the wrong output as which we attached. Please check and give the solution.

Hello, Trying to compile the Qualcomm Gobi serial USB drivers for a Simcom wireless chip on a NanoPi Neo2 (sunxi64). I've loaded the kernel headers via armbian-config and typically this specific header file would be in drivers/usb/serial. We're using the pre-built image. Is there an easy way to get this into our kernel or do we have to embark on a full compile? Any help very much appreciated Rob

I am copying a folder from one drive to another. The transfer operation encounters duplicate files and ask me to Replace, Replace All, Skip, Skip All ,etc. Some of the files may be the same filename but different file-size (e.g., one is bigger than the other). If I choose Skip All, will Armbian Skip regardless of file-size? Or, if I select Skip All, will it show another message when it encounters same filename but different filesize?

I have two HC1s both running Armbian 10. Both of them respond to uname -r with: 4.14.187-odroidxu4 Yesterday, I rebooted one of them, and immediately started seeing errors. These turned out to be attributable to missing modules. The only directory in /lib/modules was 4.14.198-odroidxu4 which does not match the kernel version. The other HC1 still had a directory /lib/modules/4.14.187-odroidxu4. Prior to the reboot both systems were working. How can this happen? My quick solution was to copy the 4.14.187-odroidxu4 directory from the working HC1 to the failed HC1, which solved the problems, at least for the time being. But what is the correct so…

Hello folks, I have completed my Armbian NTP server based on the wonderful little NanoPi Neo3. However something bothers me a bit, i.e. how much delay or latency is in eth0 (It is a 1Gbs port). By checking the default eth0 settings (ethtool -c eth0) I have the parameters below. In particular rx-usec = 327usec means that when a packet is received, the IRQ to alert the CPU can be delayed up to 327usec. With these settings on the nanopi (NTP server) I get about 1msec delay on the NTP client (Windows PC). By cutting the rx-usecs to 35 usecs I get a delay on the client of about 450usec, so a massive improvement and 30% faster than rpi 4. At the mo…

Hello, I'm having trouble playing some videos on Orange Pi 3 (http://www.orangepi.org/Orange%20Pi%203/), especially those with full HD quality. I can even play the video, but it keeps crashing. I'm using MPV or VLC applications to play the video stream directly from YouTube. It is noteworthy that .mp4 files have crashing too, depending on the quality of the video. I'm using the following command, for example: mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_nJSlGRgX4 or vlc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_nJSlGRgX4 How does the hardware have these specifications: CPU: H6 Quad-core…

Since December 2013, when I started to deal with CLI Debian images and support them, things become ... bigger. My prime motivation was only to build an working Linux image for some amateur based services. Project brought a lot of fun, a lot of new toys on my desk but also tears and frustrations. I hope and wish that public use our work to the greatest degree. Blog comments - your questions and (not only my) answers - become large and valuable knowledge base for ARM single board computers and general Debian / Ubuntu problems. I already manage to pack some of the into the FAQ but I'll need your help and patience within summarizing this into General FAQ. You only need…

Hello. Sorry for my English, I use google-translate. Maybe someone already has experience and uses script / program to create a backup SD card entirely in the form of an image on an external storage (HDD, USB-flash), or over the network? I am at the moment once a week turn off the system (I have a banana pi), remove the SD card and make a copy of the system image (using imagewriter.exe). I want to automate the process, and without removing the SD card from the board. It's real? Many thanks!

Some sort of hope? http://nanopi.io/nanopi-m3.html http://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=69&product_id=130 Great eW

Anyone have success with GStreamer and Xenial Desktop? Once upon a time (mid 2015) gstreamer used to work like this: gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=vid.mp4 ! qtdemux ! vaapidecode ! vaapisink Time has passed and the many parts that make up GStreamer (libva libcedrus vdpau-sunxi libvdpau gstreamer and gstreamer-vaapi) have evolved. I revisited this because I have recently stumbled upon an invocation that let's me play videos with hardware acceleration in gstreamer. I'm trying to stream h264 vid from my rpi-zero's camera to be saved/played/restreamed from my BPi ( i have both BananaPi and OrangePi+2e). This wor…

So I saw many thread with this question. Of course there are also good answers but I just don't understand. Out of the box HDMI works(hdmi2hdmi). Hdmi2dvi=doesn't work. Analog AV=doesn't work. I'm supposed to disable the hdmi and enable av-out by script.bin with something like [disp_init] My question is where is this file located? Am I suppose to vi create it? Hopefully someone could provide step by step or point me to the right direction with detailed information.

Hi, on a fresh installation I can find nmcli d DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION tunl0 unknown unmanaged -- where does it come from/which process spawns it?

Hey guys, Coming from high level programming such as Java or C#, I'm quite new to mid-level development. I'm working on a project and I was wondering there are any low cost Linux compatible SoC that are guaranteed to have a long term availability for like 5-7 years or more? I've seen the H3, but since it is manufactured by a chinese company, I'm not sure about the availability of this chip on long term. Thanks

I use Neo4 for media streaming using plex or minidlna. At first I don't know the problem but the movies played from it is lagging. My previous banana pi is better than this. I thought it is because of heating problem and normal for about an hour after shutdown for several hours. I also thought that may be it is my usb 3.0 hardrive adapter or maybe unstable minidlna. iperf result look normal with speed around 950mbps. This internal wifi is not detected but not a problem because I will not using it. I already tried using FriendlyCore, armbian ubuntu and then armbian debian. After using armbian debian, it starting to show its problem when the other os variant …

Hi All, I'm planning to use an RK3399-based system-on-module for an embedded application, and would like some advice about the work required to produce an Armbian build that runs on it. The SoM is made by Graperain ( https://www.graperain.com/ARM-Embedded-RK3399-System-On-Module-Gf/ ), and they have provided an SDK which is clearly an old copy of the Rockchip's github repo (4.4 kernel) with some unidentified tweaks to get it working on this board (including .dts files and presumably some bootloader stuff?). I realize this particular board is likely not of interest to the community, but I figure the general discussion around getting a new board running may be. …

Hello everyone, I have a nanopi r2s running the latest minimal focal image, and I'm having trouble with the network configuration. Context: I have an intranet connected to the LAN port (lan0), and my home network connected to the WAN port (eth0). The intranet does not connect to the internet, and both networks have functional DHCP servers on different IP ranges. For some reason the system thinks it should try to access the internet via my intranet, which is definitely not going to work. Suppose the intranet is 10.0.0.0/24, how can I tell the system to use this interface if and only if I'm accessing addresses that falls under this address …

Dears, I have recently posted several issues wrt. OPi0+. GPIO (sysfs), armbian-config (bug confirmed by Igor), WiFi AP, GPIO event handling. Except for GPIO, where high activity is going on, I cannot find anything in "GitHub-issues" about the other problems, I have raised. I therefore would like to know, what would be the right place to rise issues? Here in the forum, or in GitHub? I mean "issues", not "how tos"

Hello dear all, I am currently using Armbian 22.05 Jammy. I am wondering how I can use Python IDE such as Pycharm etc. If you have any suggestions, you are very welcome to comment below. Have a great day.

Hi, as I would like to replace my old Banana Pi M1, I wonder which SoC I should use. I'd like to spend maximum 100€. What's the newest supported SoC which is right now available? Already orderes a Raspberry Pi 4 Gb 9 month ago....but still no idea when it'll be delivered. As I really like ARMbian and OpenMediaVault, I'd like to stick with it. I'd like to have at least a quadcore, gigabit-lan and 2-4GB ram.

As it just happened, na OK, a few hours earlier, rhe name of an networkcard was changed. Why? How? By doing nothing special a real time consumpting work i had to get out what to change now, changing all the scripts and hoping nothing ist lost. what did build all the link local addresses?

Hello, Using the last image for cubox-i (bookworn) , I m unable to get an access to internet using the default interface. eth0 is détected but non functionnal, no eth1 card and no wifi card detected This is a known problem : Does someone has a recent kernel for this device ? I've an old defconfig for kernel 5.2.1 that works (eth0 , eth1 and wifi too) I'm slowly using this defconfig to build a more recent one (5.4.302 is ok but EOL...) Many thanks

Dear all, I used win32diskimager to write the armbian image on a 8G sd card and everything works good. when I finish working on the image I read the final image also by using win32diskimager, the size of this image is right now 8G since the sd card size is 8G. After that I wrote this 8G image on a 16 G sd card. when I check the size of this new sd card after writing the 8G image it shows that the sd card size is 8G not 16 G. So, please how can I read an image from a 8G sd card and write it to a 16 G sd card and the size of the sd card remains 16 G to be used later. Best regards

I have just downloaded desktop Armbian 22.08 Jammy XFCE on my Odroid-C2 and it works fine on a 1080p monitor. I need it to work on a different monitor though so I have added the following lines to /boot/armbianEnv.txt display_autodetect=false hdmimode=1680x1050p60hz and added hdmitx=forcergb in the bootargs (which I copy/pasted from /boot/boot.cmd) but it has no effect. My monitor works with these parameters on Hardkernels Ubuntu 18.04 image. What else do I need to do?

Hello. I've searched here, the Libre computer forums, even tried "cheating" with asking chatgpt. Using a "Le Potato" AML-S905X-CC with Armbian Jammy 22.04.2 LTS. I've gotten far enough to be able to read the switch on the GPIO with pulled to 0 reading as 1. button untouched: ~$ sudo gpioget --active-low gpiochip1 97 0 button pressed: :~$ sudo gpioget --active-low gpiochip1 97 1 From here though, I can't seem to figure out what to do next. I've seen suggestions to use a python script with a sleep to using device overlays. The device overlay examples I see using armbian are typically for orange Pis and I can't seem to extrapolate to the le potato g…

after installing wireguard (kernel upgrade + headers) the pi would no longer boot and fail with crc error. Looking at the boot partition the uinitrd file was linked to the old version. Changed the uinitrd link to the newest one and it booted again.

Hello I have a 1440p (QHD, 2560x1440) monitor, but whatever I tried it was always giving me 1080p (1920x1080). I'm using Armbian 24.8.1 Noble Gnome and the resolution settings are in the Displays system panel. I noticed people who had similar problems on the Rock5b, the suggested solution did not work, but hinted to dtb files. After examining the /boot/dts tree of Armbian I found 3 files: /boot/dtb/rockchip/overlay/orangepi-5-plus-hdmi2-8k.dtbo /boot/dtb/rockchip/overlay/rock-5b-hdmi1-8k.dtbo and /boot/dtb/rockchip/overlay/rock-5b-hdmi2-8k.dtbo You can decompile the object file with the dtc command from the device-tree-compiler package…

I am experiencing problems with the gcc compiler. When I compiling a simple program it gives me the following error: main.c:6:1: error: expected '=' , ',' , ';' , 'asm' or '__attribute__' before '{' token { ^ main.c:9:1: error: expected '{" at end of input } ^ I have the 3.4.112 kernel installed, when I compile and run the same program on my desktop it works, what can the problem be? Below is the code. main.c #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include "header.h" int main(void){ printf("%d", returnSeven()); return 0; } source.c int returnSeven(void){ return 7; } header.h int returnSeven(void);

Hi, Is there support planned for this board anytime soon? I've been using Armbian on my Banana Pi M1 since more than a year ago and I've been thinking of upgrading to a more powerful board and the M2 seems quite nice. Thanks!
