I guess my application is IOT - I am getting data via USB and SPI, report status via GPIO LEDs and upload data to the internet. I am enjoying raspberrypi 3B but it's huge and relatively expensive. I am trying to return Orange Pi 2G IOT since it's a disaster. Looks like Orange Pi Zero for a bit under $20 would not be a disaster? Are there other boards to consider if I care about physical size and price?

Last week I downloaded the checksum for armbian20.05.2_Orangepiplus2e_buster_current_5.4.43_desktop.img.xz and checked the checksum that came with the download. The .img checksum downloaded with the image and the checksum I ran were the same. When I check the online checksum here on armbian.com under downloads, sha, TODAY, the checksum is different. Is there any reason for me to believe that my original checksum and download may have been corrupted? I realize I can just re-download the image now, but whose to say that the one posted now is correct and not the previous one (while maybe both correct/fine)? I know that checksums can change over time,…

Hello! Is there some Allwinner's based board that can work as usb-client under mainline kernel? Looks like other people want only host-mode from OTG-port with mainline kernel =( Thanks

I installed Armbian Bionic Desktop 4.4 on the emmc module and I also have an SD card in. When I get to the desktop the card looks like it has been mounted by the current user (I'm new to Linux) - it was listed under /media/myuser with myuser as user and group -, so I changed /etc/fstab to have it mounted during system boot, by adding: /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/sdcard This is what lsblk says: mmcblk1 179:0 0 14.7G 0 disk └─mmcblk1p1 179:1 0 14.5G 0 part / mmcblk1boot0 179:16 0 4M 1 disk mmcblk1boot1 179:32 0 4M 1 disk mmcblk1rpmb 179:48 0 4M 0 disk mmcblk0 …

Hi Igor. I think I found another inadvertenttant bug in the build since the desktop was unseparated out. The new build is calling chromium instead of chromium-browser, and it's breaking. It brings up a brief pink screen. When you call it from a window it calls this image below. Otherwise it is installing desktop on the H3 just fine.

pages take a long time to complete, consuming cpu cycles Reverted to 80.0.3987.162-1~deb10u1 for nomal operation Anyone else similar? Armbian_20.06.0_Arm-64_focal_current_5.7.6_desktop_20200630

How can I enable addons in chromium. The addons are greyed out.

I have an OrangePi +2E with the latest version of armbian. Yesterday, after a sudo apt-get upgrade, chromium upgraded to 87.0.4280.88 (Build) built on Debian 10.7. After that chromium has become useless: probably the slowest browser ever. In case you ask: I've removed all the extensions and uninstalled the browser and then installed again. nothing changed. The older version worked just "fine" (relative to what an orange pi can offer in terms of performance, of course) Is this the end of internet browsing on armbian?

Dear all, I'm running Armbian 21.02.1 on the nanopi neo3 (diagnostic: http://ix.io/3y5D) using /etc/network/interfaces and have network-manager disabled (`sudo systemctl disable network-manager.service` ). I occasionally use network-manager for a usb-wifi stick. When I recently upgraded the packages it triggered a network-manager update. After a reboot the nanopi was not able to start is networking, it only got a 169.254.6.233 address. After analyzing the situation the network-manager update apparently removed the softlink `/etc/resolv.conf -> /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf` and replaced it with a text file. Can network-manager be changed somehow, so that it ke…

Hello all, My team and I are trying to use the ASUS Tinkerboard S (running Armbian Bionic v4.19.7, i.e. ubuntu bionic 18.04) as a platform to host a webapp, with a touchscreen as the user interface.

Hey Guys You had been amazing, I'm had used your armbian and I'm very proud of it. I reache to run it very well over my OPi Plus 2 SE and OPi One, without major troubles. But instruction to get a booteable sd copy of current emmc It is not understandable, regardless if is a backpup, a clone, a dd command or a sript to do do over the sd port or to a usb sd card... I could not reach resolve it, because there are many topics with many comment and the main tread explanation is lost. Please, can anyone, write a clear step by step procedure to do any of it?, Sorry and Regards, Pescadito

I'm trying to enable SATA support on my Clearfog Base that has an eMMC that I boot from.

I use Armbian Jammy Xfc3 23.11.1 on my Banana Pi m3. It's on a 32 GB SD-Card. I did a backup with usbimager Flashed the image to another SD card with 128 GB. Changed the rootdev=UUID in /boot/armbianEnv.txt and the UUID in /etc/fstab But it won't boot What am I missing?

I have followed this guide and I can boot my Orange Pi Zero from SSD without the need for an SD card inserted. I want to keep a bootable backup for my system in case the SSD gets corrupted. I was thinking to clone my system in a USB stick (just like I did to clone from SD to SSD) and then use rsync once a week to keep everything up to date with a script like that. If I go in armbian-config > system > install I can see only one option: "Install/Update the bootloader on SD/eMMC". How could I clone from SSD to a USB stick? Is there a command like `sudo nand-sata-install`?

Hi, I own a Orange PI Plus 2 with SATA support. Until now without success I tried to migrate from a SD boot / HDD root setup, which is my current well working situation, to a SD boot / SSD root setup. I created two partitions on the SSD created a swap device on sda1 and root device on sda2 like on the HDD. Performed mkswap on /dev/sda1 and copied the HDD root filesystem to the SSD root file system to be /dev/sda2 using ' find . -print | cpio -pdvm' on a spare laptop with two SATA ports. I even copied the UUID from the root partition of the HDD to the root partition of the SSD. Next I configured the system by changing the root device in armbianEnv.t…

Hi all, I bought a Orange Pi PC 2 a couple of months back, loaded the Armbian image successfully and tweaked it until it was just right for my application. As this piece of hardware was going to live on a remote property, I bought another 2 Orange Pi PC 2 boards and some new SD cards with the intention of having 2 backups - one for development and the other as spare. I cloned the SD card by copying the active EXT4 partition across to the blank SD card using GParted. The long and the short of it is that these images did not work. I know the hardware is good as the original SD card works in the new OPi PC2 boards. Likewise the new cards don't wo…

This is the method of cloning I have been using for several years. Saved me lots of time. Applications: YUMI, QT5-fsarchiver, Wine, Live OS, and Sandisk USB. 1 Make a bootable-usb using YUMI. Install a live OS. I prefer PClinux Live on a sandisk USB 128/256gb or Solid-State drive. Bootup the USB and install QT5-fsarchiver using synaptic. 2 Or install QT5-fsarchiver in any PC/Laptop. 3 Plug in the Tinkerboard, or what ever, to a USB port and create a full backup image of the MMC or SD card. 4 Save the image file anywhere. 5 Restore the image using QT-fsarchiver to any memory device. Note: In the PClinux live insta…

NOTE: Despite similar topic names, a search did not find a topic which even remotely addressed my topic on this site. I have an OrangePi Pcplus on which I have successfully transferred my working system from SD card to the on-board EMMC. Now, on the assumption that the EMMC may eventually become corrupted or the board dies. (Hey, __it happens!) I need to create, from the currently running system, an SD card which I can plug into a brand new Orange Pi PCplus and have it boot from that card the system I was was running on the old board at the time I made the backup - which I can then transfer to the new board's EMMC. Obviously, this same S…

So, looking to create a CLI version of armbian-install. Only has to work with the rockpi-s and from the SD card to the eMMC. Looking at this script: If it works to clone the SD to eMMC (with some changes?) then I need to tell armbian to boot from the eMMC when the SD card isn't inserted, same way that armbian-install does. Do I simply change the UUID line in /boot/armbianEnv.txt to the UUID of the eMMC, or do I need to edit /etc/fstab or ??

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

Hi, I've some issues regarding apt pinning, which I've used for a year now without problems, after doing a clean install to Armbian_5.70_Tinkerboard_Debian_stretch_next_4.19.14. I've figured out that installing only locales from testing (2.28-4) over (2.24-11+deb9u3) kills armbian-ramlog.service as seen below in spoiler 1, which again seems to cause problems for other packages as Nginx.

Hello, I've fairly new to ArmBian and as I'm trying to setup a cluster of Rock64's, I'm wondering if there's any support for using cloud-init (user-data) to be able to setup a board on boot? Thanks!

Well, I just bought a CloudShell direct from HarkKernel in South Korea. It was delivered and assembled. However, the LCD display - a major selling point - is non-functional. It appears to require a kernel module specific to the odroid xu4 specific kernel, that isn't available in the stock kernel. I am attempting to compile a 4.x.y kernel from hardkernel sources. So far, 4.14 doesn't appear to work. I want to run Open Media Vault 6, but currently, it only supports Armbian Bullseye, not any Ubuntu, etc. Armbian/OMV works for everything except he LCD.

Hello, I'm actually working on the implementation of the MAX9860 Mono Audio Voice Codec in the devicetree.

I was using bananian for the last year(and I still do) on a M1 for a operational running webservice. Is it worth the time to switch to armbian? Are there any big differences? I want to switch the board sometime in the future; thats why I'm interested in the more flexible armbian in the first place. But right now I cant find a good alternative to the M1 for my use case.

Hi, I'm compiling a kernel (using 5.8.16-sunxi) for an H3 board that has the RTL8189es chip onboard. But the make fails due to a missing include file. It turns out that the makefile for this driver expects a "src" variable to be loaded with the path for the makefile. But I can't find any defining reference to this variable or any mention in the make documentation that it is an internal function. I've managed to fix this by setting src to srctree and the sub-path for this driver. But this seems very clumsy to me. Can somebody explain how "src" is meant to be loaded and why it's not happening for me ? Thanks, Steven

I am able to compile the drivers with the kernel from https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/orangepi-build but it crashes network manager and a few other modules when I try to modprobe it, I am guessing it is because this kernel is not an armbian kernel.

Gravei num SDCard de 16 gb, testei e achei o sistema excelente, então resolvi: 1- Desinstalar alguns aplicativos para diminuir o tamanho. 2- Com consulta na web, usar o comando dd e criar uma nova imagem. 3- Continuando com ajuda da web, diminuir o tamanho da imagem criada anteriormente para eliminar o espaço vazio dessa imagem…

Hi everybody. Recently i needed to grab videostream from external HDMI. I would like to use my Orange Pi One for this. Is it possible to implement and configure an HDMI input?

I found the CAN device driver sources in sun7i_can.c - CAN bus controller driver for sun7i to configure the gpio pins for the special case of acting as TX and RX for CAN, the following function calls are used: sw_gpio_setcfg(GPIOA(16), 3); I try to use this code to implement the can4linux module an a BananaPi M2-Berry using Armbian stretch but are not able to find any prototype of such a function sw_gpio_setcfg(); nor the definitions of the gpio ports like GPIOA. What ist the correct way of accessing the gpio ports from within the kernel? Thanks for helping.

I have problem, I am not able to get console working to access my nanopi neo air. PSU is not issue, opi+2 runs with same power w/o issues. Sdcard is not problem either. Tested with more than one image and based on how onboard leds behaves, i believe that system boots up ok. Now the question: How to modify image on sdcard so that it connects to my WIFi (WPA2-PSK) on boot automatically making ssh to nano working? Or should I mount image, before writing to sdcard, and do the needed changes inside mounted image? What and how? Thanks!

Hello, I am trying to setup a hotspot with a static IP using hostapd, dnsmasq on wlan0, which is unmanaged by network-manager. wlan1 is managed by network-manager, and uses dns=dnsmasq inside the network-manager.conf file. I have disabled systemd-avahi-daemon.socket + service and deteded isc-dhclient-X (common), because it seems my DNS is conflicting. Now it happens that the power management goes ON, on wlan1, altough I have wifi.power_save = 2. How can this all happen? Just want to use /etc/network/interfaces the anachronistic way, but network-manager and other dns services from the beginning are conflicting. Can …

Hi. Can someone please kindly shed a light on Armbian / Debian / Sunxi release information that is confusing me: I run Armbian Buster on two Cubietruck systems - one was freshly installed, the other upgraded from a previous installation. Both systems were apt-updated/apt-upgraded most recently with identical /etc/apt/sources.list, and subsequently rebooted. Both systems report identical "uname -a" (=Linux ... 5.4.30-sunxi #20.02.9 SMP) and /etc/debian_version (=10.3) information. The /boot folders have identical zImage resp. uInitrd links pointing to identical targets. Still the /etc/armbian-release resp. /etc/armbian-image-release infos differ: …

Hi, I'd really like to set up an affordable pi hole on my new network. I think I have it narrowed down to three choices, but I'm not sure which to select. There's an orange pi 3 LTS kit available for $61. However, there is a warning listed on that Armbian image regarding the PCIE controller, that I don't understand the implications of. How serious is that problem? For a significantly less I can pick up this android TV box, that has set up tutorials on YouTube for Armbian.

When using the dts editor in armbian-config, a different dts is shown than the one that I defined in extlinux.conf. For my RK3188 based minix neo X7, I decompiled an existing dtb from boot/dtb into a dts file using dtc on my Linux computer. I edited this into a new dts and compiled it into a dtb. I placed this under the name rk3188-x7.dtb in my boot/dtb folder, referenced to it in extlinux.conf and my system booted using this dtb (checked in dmesg). However, when I try to use armbian-config to edit my dtb/dts, it shows a different dts. Any idea how or where to change this so I can easily work on my dts?

Hi, I'm using armbian on a FriendlyElec Zero Pi device as my wireguard server. This is a extremely cheap device and for this reason it was chosen since I don't need powerful performances. It happened that I found a tutorial that switching the Congestion Control for BBR (mine says it is cubic), would allow me to experience performance improvements. I'm not being able to change this parameter in my image already configured using: root@zeropi:~# sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=bbr The output says: sysctl: setting key "net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control": No such file or directory net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control = bbr U…

If I am using SSH over a WIFI connection and then plug in the ethernet cable, then I lose my SSH connection. Simply disconnecting the cable doesn't resolve the issue; I need to reboot without the ethernet cable connected to reestablish the SSH over WIFI. The system diagnosis is here.

I use this method and it works like a charm: void setup(){ pinMode(0,INPUT); pinMode(1,INPUT); } void loop(){ } Just upload this code, and connect GND to GND, TX to RX and RX to TX, then connect your Arduino to your computer, it will get a name like COM3, connect that com port, and you're in! You can also use PuTTY for connecting to the com port. Spoiler

I'm currently in the process of deciding between the Orange Pi 3B and the Raspberry Pi 4, and i'd love to hear your thoughts. I know that Raspberry Pi has a huge community and a ton of resources, which is super appealing for someone like me who's looking to learn and tinker. The support from the community is definitely a big selling point, especially since I'm just starting out. That said, l'm also considering the Orange Pi because it's much more affordable. The price difference is hard to ignore and l have heard it's a pretty solid option for DlY projects and development. Plus, l'm thinking ahead - l might want to stick with Orange Pi for future projects as well, sin…

heya i have armbian with kernel 4.14.18-sunxi i think its latest one. I want options, is there any other kernels, i dont mind if it 3-party but i need a stable one. i do have other board running on kernel 3.x and there is no problems, but also that one is not running svxlink. only after using that software the crashes started to come. problem is i got crash every few days on nanopi and i think is kernel issue. i use board mainly for ham radio things i have there running svxlink and mmdvmhost only. it get crashed every few days, only way to recover is power cycle, then it works again couple days. i managed however put console wire there and screen on …

Hello, I'm trying to control a relay (Bigtreetech Relay) by Orange PI 3 with Armbian 22.08.8 Jammy on it: the relay should be active as soon as PI started and deactivated on PI shutdown.

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to convert the img.xz file into a usable ISO file to boot onto a USB drive. I have no idea, tried using a few converter tools and they don't seem to be doing the job. Anyone know of a way to accomplish this? Thank you.

I am using ARM Cortex A7 board and had run coovachilli with its internal DHCP server successfully with external and internal splash pages. Now want to run it with external DHCP server that is clients will get IPs from external DHCP server and authenticate via Coovachilli. For example two boxes running coovachilli in it seperately but the client from both boxes will get IP lease from same backend dhcp server while authenticate via its coovachilli respectively. So I have used this config in it: HS_WANIF=eth0 # has address 195.19.214.216 HS_LANIF=eth1 HS_NETWORK=10.2.3.0 HS_NETMASK=255.255.255.0 HS_UAMLISTEN=10.2.3.1 HS_UAMPORT=3990 HS_UAMUIPORT=4990…

I have a working Armbian SD card and I used it for some time made some changes in the system (disabled some services, installed some libraries and made new services etc...). I use this SD card with Cubieboard-3 (Cubietruck). And I have a backup of the entire root filesystem from that SD card. Now I've got second Cubieboard-3 device and I need a second SD card to boot the second device into the same OS with actual changes. The good approach would be to backup only CHANGES in some manner that would allow me to install fresh armbian to new SD card and them roll my changes to it. But instead, i started a stupid approach of doing this: just copied the entire filesystem to back…

Hello, I am trying to copy my system from emmc to sd so i can install my current system on another OP. First problem was that when I am booting from emmc, sd card doesn't show up (fdisk -l). So i gave up on doing it that way and now i am copying to usb flash drive as image so i can re burn to sd and use in second OP I believe the image is going to be the entire 7.3gb of the emmc. Is there an easy way to undo the fs_resize? EG sudo fs_resize -"back to minimal option here" I'm hoping that will make the image smaller. or maybe a dd option? thanks.

The usual way to get the a headless linux box up and running is to flash a disk image to a µSD card and then insert that card into the linux box, boot, answer some questions and it's done. Can I not do the same thing with an image file that I put on the µSD card (in addition to the µSD card having a complete linux OS that the box can boot from) and copy that to the emmc? Then pull the card and boot from the emmc? Does the image file used for a µSD card differ from the image file that should be written to the emmc? e.g. I have an armbian image, say "Armbian_25.2.2_Rockpi-s_bookworm_current_6.12.15_minimal.img.xz", on my µSD card at /media/…

Hello people, I am interested in designing a cooler for OPI Zero and OPI LIte. Next is the formula of calculus: I am NOT able to find next parameters: T_Jmax = this is the DIE(microprocessor) wanted temperature ---> is this 30-40 degrees best temperature for OPI for well functioning in parameters? P_DMAX = power that is generated by the losses of OPI Zero board and OPI Lite board. Q_jc = thermal resistance between DIE(microcontroller) and case Can please someone help? Thanks.

Guys, Hope my thread is correct here. i have an Banana Pi M2 Ultra on my shelf and want to start using it. So when i check the Armbian Hompepage for a propper up-to-date Image i just recognize its not anmyore supported. See here: https://www.armbian.com/bananapi-m2u/ But then , when i click on "Download from Archives" i see a lots of images for my hardware. But on the other way its says no more support. Confused now... Are the images in Download from archive all unstable or testing ones? Apprechiate if someone could explain. Thanks!

I installed armbian with a vendor kernel 6.1.75-vendor-rk35xx. I want to be sure the kernel is not updated. I used armbian-config and selected "SY203 - Disable Armbian kernel upgrades" Disable Armbian kernel/firmware upgrades Would you like to continue? after selecting "Yes", the menu shows "SY202 - Enable Armbian firmware upgrades" so I check with apt-mark showhold and it returned only "armbian-firmware" Do I have to put my kernel packages on hold? linux-dtb-vendor-rk35xx linux-headers-vendor-rk35xx linux-image-vendor-rk35xx I find misleading the change in the description from SY203 to SY202: kernel ->…

Hi, A few months back I installed version 5.10 on a cubietruck. After setting everything up I configure the system to boot from SD and have the system on SATA. Everything was fine until yesterday. It looks like my SD card is corrupted. I created a new SD card using version 5.14 and booted, after booting I mounted the SATA drive and everything seems fine on the SATA. The question is how can I boot again from SD and use the existing system on my SATA? I don’t want to have to reinstall/configure everything. Thank you Mike

We have a home nas device based on Rockchip platform. Ubuntu base requires a license for commercial product. I wonder if we could use armbian as rootfs?

lima opensource driver for MALI GPU is tolked in many wiki, but there are almost no wiki about how to integrate it, or about the detail usability and how it compare with closed source MALI driver. and @superna9999 says "the ultimate focus is Lima" in https://github.com/superna9999/meson_gx_mali_450/issues/8#issuecomment-462120890 is there any ongoing effort on lima driver for H3?

I wasn't able to boot from my SD after flashing either `Armbian_26.5.1_Orangepi5-plus_trixie_vendor_6.1.115_minimal` or `Armbian_26.5.1_Orangepi5-plus_resolute_vendor_6.1.115_gnome_desktop` to it. I would get a red power light, but none of the others. I was finally able to boot `Armbian_25.8.1_Orangepi5-plus_noble_vendor_6.1.115_gnome_desktop` after grabbing it from archive.armbian.com, but I'm wondering what the problem may have been? I'd like to get onto the latest Armbian but of course don't want to start having boot issues all over again. Edit: Looks like I may have run into this known issue: https://github.com/armbian/build/issues/…

According to http://linux-sunxi.org/H2%2B#VariantsI should be able to differentiate between the H2+ and the H3 via the CPU SID. I have an Orange Pi Zero board with this output from /proc/cpuinfo Hardware : Allwinner sun8i Family Revision : 0000 Serial : 02004620161dea8a According to that site "the last byte of the first word" should be either 0x42 or 0x83 since the Orange Pi Zero has an H2+. Yet I am not finding 0x42 or 0x83 *anywhere* in "02004620161dea8a". Anyone know how to correctly identify the CPU variant?

Hi, I was looking for ways how to speed up CPU for faster ethernet transfers and speed it down when idle. I would also like to control voltage. I know that in mainline kernel you can edit this file arch/arm/boot/dts/sun7i-a20.dtsi and configure it yourself. 1)I would like to know where (if) you can control voltage somewhere for 3.4 kernel. I was unable to found any info. 2) in /boot/script.bin i found out parameter "dram_clk", I assume that you can change freq of RAM here. Somewhere I read (I think form tkaiser) that you can add 48MHz steps to CPU/memory. Why exactly 48MHz? That is very interesting for me. Some clock source/timer works in 48 MHz? …

I'm on a Rockpro64 rev2.1 and wanted to use the maximum of the availiable Power of this SoC, so i tried using cpufrequtils and the amrbian config for doing so and noticed two things: I can only set one of my CPU's frequencies and the maximum is 1800 MHz, so i searched this forum for a while and found out how to show the device tree table which is currently loaded(dtc -I fs /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/) and there is one unused mode for both of my CPUs, a 1992 MHz mode for the big chip and a 1512 MHz mode for the small chip, and at this point im stuck. What could i do to load this modes in the cpufrequtils or the armbian config? Spoiler dt…

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

Hello. I use jammy ambrian on my odroid c2. In this is a 64gb sdcard. 60% of the card is empty. Can i create a automatically backup on the card? It would be nice to restore the fullsystem if something go wrong and the system crah. At this time i crate all 4 weeks a full sd backup on my other computer. but it need a long time, because the full 64gb will be safe as a .img file, which i can restore. Is there a solution to get a smaller zip file, withe the full system???? Thank you a lot. If the fully system zip is not to great, i can upload it on my cloud..

Hello, how do I create a patch to the kernel?

Hello all and I apologise for the rather long subject title there. A bit of a mouthful :-) I can understand how to create a .dts/.dtb file from an already running existing linux system on an arm based device. But what about if there is no linux image to run on it? Is it possible to take the device tree from an android device and then turn that into a .dts/.dtb file? Also am I correct in saying that pretty much the first thing that would be needed to boot any sort of linux on an arm device like this (R69 box) is a working .dts/.dtb file so it can boot? Case in point is my old R69 TV box. It always was and remains problematic in booting old thread but wa…
