This message is on-topic, but for an unknown reason, it is not possible for me to create a message in Help wanted. So I post here. I have used Armbian for two years, I think, on several devices, and I have given some money to support it. Thanks for the job. I recently upgraded to the last version with Debian 11. Everything fine but one point which is probably not a bug, that's why I don't post in "bugs". I use Unbound which is the heart of my soft. And I use a python script which is loaded by Unbound. Until now, there was no problem. With the last version, I ran in several read problems. The first reason I found is apparmor, which prevented the script to o…

Iam a newbie to orangepi 3. I never had experience in doing anything in SBC's before. I was trying to learn to create a home NAS with orange pi 3 and open media vault. I was impressed with orange pi as it was cheap and more hardware. Here is what i did which took me days but ended up in nothing 1) Got success with ssh. Dloaded Armbian bullseye mainline image from armbian website. Mounted it to class 10 SD by Etcher. After finishing, no boot drive on sd card. Shows 'SD is corrupted'. I saw in this forum that after mounting, two files such as kernal and boot files should be present for ORPi 3 to boot.https://redirect.armbian.com/orangepi3/Bullseye_current 2)…

I am trying to migrate the two RockPro64 NAS's i have running the last Ayufan Community buster 9.14 minimum build from 2019 to a currently supported and maintained Armbian build. My current builds have become unstable and don't allow for any updates. The Armbian Buster 4.4.y build boots on my RockPro64 when the LSI 9211-4i board is not installed but does not boot when the board is installed. No error log to send. I also tried the Buster 5.10.60 image - no love. The ayufan buster minumum and OMV 9.14 builds boot and install the drivers (mpt2sas and mpt3sas?) for the 9211 and it supports the 4x PCIe and multiple drives well. I'm not sure whether o…

Hi, I am trying to optimize torrent download speeds on SBC. and I have the RPI4-2GB board. I get somewhat similar results for the Odroid HC1. I only download 1 torrent at a time, and I dont upload. So very simple requirements. On a 1000/1000Mbit connection. Samsung 4TB 870QVO HDD - UAS enabled and tested with good controller. Same file downloaded multiple times. So the external factors such as the ISP or the Storage is for sure NOT the bottleneck here.

Hey. I don't know if this is the correct board. In another section i got a red warning, and i understand it in a way, to absolute not post anything in there. On the downloadpage for the Odroid HC4 i'm able to download this version: Armbian_21.08.9_Odroidhc4_focal_current_5.10.81_minimal.img.xz with this link: https://redirect.armbian.com/region/EU/odroidhc4/Focal_current_minimal But with "apt update ; apt upgrade" my HC4 stays on "Armbian 21.08.8 Focal with Linux 5.10.81-meson64" Do i have to do something else? Best regards, Tuffi

I've just installed armbian to Pinebook Pro's eMCC using the full-disk encryption helper script from https://github.com/mmgen/mmgen-geek-tools The said script was executed inside an armbian installation in an sd card with official Pinebook Pro image. The eMCC installation almost worked - it boots to graphical desktop, however there's no wifi and bluetooth. I don't have any other way to connect the laptop to internet. I guess the way to fix this is to boot the sd card again because it has internet, then open the encrypted disk manually and chroot to its root, then run some command - but I don't know which one! Please help.

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?

Hello everyone, Over the past year or so, I've been getting back to my utilite pro board that bought quite a while back. After asking a few things to Compulab, and figuring out some of the bad download links to get their latest resources, I could finally upgrade to their latest Ubuntu build, that was based on 12.04. So not so recent. I am not the most aware user when it comes to arm devices, but a page on the Debian wiki pointed out to running buster on the board. Then, I came across the armbian ecosystem, and thought, well, I'll give it a try. Kudos to the work done. This looks impressive. The past days I've been trying to co…

I have been away from the forum for a while because my armbian has worked as a charm for a long while. Now however I have a minor problem All my devices (nvidia-jetson nano, raspberry pi 4, raspberry pi 2W, raspberry pi 3) can do x-windows to xming (running windows on my main computer). However none of my armbian can (running kernel Linux orangepi4 5.10.63-rockchip64, sunxi and sunxi64) start xeyes on my windows computer while raspberry and tegra can, so nothing is wrong with my setup. What has changed regarding X11 since kernel 4.x? Using "export DISPLAY=localhost:10.0" in all SBC:s ~/.bashrc On armbian I get "Error: Can't open display: localhost…

Hi, we are trying to get the MIPI-CSI interfaces work on our RockPro64 with this being the current status: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3360#issuecomment-1029773735 Here's the question: has anyone been able to get this to work with kernel 5.X yet, and if so how? I'm pretty familiar with kernel experiments, but research on a working example aside of some old Android stuff gives actually nothing... Best Clemens

I've got one of these boards. It is just Kernel development that has ceased as there are no maintainers? (Had I had the skills, I would have happily maintained it. ;-( ) Also, to get the latest Kernel later on, is it as simple as obtaining the official sources and then compiling (or cross-compiling to ARM) and then install the Kernel? On this one I'm a bit like a duck out of water and if anyone can point me along the right path, all help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I started armbian from SD card on a Libre.Computer Le Potato board. Runs like hell and seems much more robust than the Ubuntu 18.04 img that I used before. But how can I get it on my 32 Gb eMMC (5.)??? E.g. the Ubuntu image of Le Potato has a script called ``lc_distro_transfer``. Is there anything similar for armbian? Note: For the Ubuntu image, one has to mount the eMMC after the booting from the SD card has started; kind of ugly, but otherwise the Potato tries to start from the eMMC. Best, Robert

Hi, I searched a lot, but no cure. I want to switch off the redLED heartbeat on an Allwinner H5 OrangePi zero+ under Debian buster. I can temporary echo it off, but it restarts again after boot. I want it off permanently. Rather than switching it off every time in rc.local, I want to eliminate the part, where its switched ON, but I can't find it.

I am trying to get analogue sound working on the Pine H64, but the analog-codec overlay appears to be missing. the h5 version is there, though. Does anybody know why this might be? -Craig

Hello. I have orangepi zero 512mb + TFT Screen ili9341 fully working. Unfortunately, the screen size of 240x320 does not allow using Armbian 21.08.2 at this resolution. Is there a way to fix this at least a little bit? What Armbian code should I dig into?

Hi All, I have successfully installed a brand new armbian on my H616 OrangePiZero2 Board. I have installed docker and have several containers running on it. one of the dockers need to scan a cifs drive that contains Hebrew characters and it fails on scanning - not retrieving all the files. I have tested the same on a raspberry pi running Ubuntu18.04 and it works great and retrieved all the files without any issues on armbian it was ~300 files and ubuntu ~900 files. The name of the files can not be changed since they are used out side of the docker. basically files are been saved in Hebrew on the cifs mount all the time. I have done a…

Hi, I'm doing some small changes to the nanopi-neo-air dtb. I am working from a decompiled dtb file. I would like to work from original patched Armbian dts files to get a better understanding without ploughing through device tree documentation. Where can I get Armbian patched kernel dts files ?

Hello, initially, I would like to thank the Armbian project for making many of these SBCs that aren't so common usable with such a good distribution. I'm using a Banana Pi M2 Zero, and the manufacturer provided Android image didn't boot at all and I got concerned I had a brick. However, Armbian has multiple images for this board available and, right now, this board is running Armbian 21.08.6 Focal using the kernel Linux 5.10.60-sunxi. The performance difference compared to a Raspberry Pi Zero is dramatic. And it even has a Mali 400! Step by step, I'm getting more features on the board working, either by reading Armbian documentation or user contributions. From…

Is khadas edge supported ?. Once it is in the download section, once it is gone. Not in the archival images?

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. I am attempting to remedy the issue, but it will mean downgrading my kernel, which may ca…

Dear all, I have an Android TV-Box which is not a common type (but brand new). No existing DTB file that I tried works properly with Armbian (Ex. WiFi & Bluetooth missing). I have managed to extract the original DTB file from the built in Android (Pie, I believe), but as I read somewhere else, these DTB files are for older Linux kernels, and Armbian refuses to boot with it. My question: would anybody here like to attempt to update the DTB file, so that it adheres to the current Linux kernels standards for DTB files? I will offer $100 to anyone who can make it work.

I am able to rebuild the kernel for this board and the image runs fine, but it appears that is does not support the UART on the GPIO. Does anyone know which kernel files need to be modified for this? It looks like its one of the .fex files in the pack-uboot folder. But there are multiple folders in that folder with multiple .fex files that all reference the uart. (sun50iw6/sun50iw9). How can I tell which .fex file the build is using? Thanks for any help, -Rich

Hi there, I have searched a bit, but didn't found HOW (step by step) make my OPi4 (with Armbian installed) an BitCoin factory. Looks it is a quite good candidate, 6 cores (2 BIG), GPU (I know, this is not Nvidia ;p). For the moment not busy doing anything. Could someone provide some kind of HOWTO on topic? (google reports small number of BC diggers for Linux). I have found some howto and (for ARMHF, not 64) binaries to make Linux machine "full" node of BC network, but not on digging BC.

Hi everyone. I bought an ov5640 camera for my Nanopi Duo2. As their wiki clearly showed ov5640 plug and play, I thought I am facing no problems. That's not the case. Armbian seems not to support ov5640 by defualt. My problem: OV5640 do not work on nanopi duo2 with latest armbian. What did I try: I searched for answers online, but they are old (years ago), saying I have to edit some dts files to get the cam work. I tried some of them, then I messed up my system and have to re-flash the sd card again and again. I guess they might won't apply to the latest image. I wonder: Is the camera ov5640 on Nanopi Duo…

I am using Armbian 21.05.1 running the legacy kernel as I wish to use the ISP camera support from the RK3399 media framework.

An Orange Pi R1+ LTS is on its way to me to replace the Orange Pi R1 that currently serves as my firewall (my fibre speed has increased and 100Mbps PHYs are too slow) The board is similar to the Orange Pi R1+ except that a NIC has a different chipset. Orange Pi R1+ LTS uses Rockchip rk3328 and has 1GB DDR3 memory and two 1 Gbps NICs. Compared to the Orange Pi R1+, the Realtek RTL8211E PHY has been replaced with a YT8531C PHY. The memory is also DDR3 vs DDR4. Armbian has WIP images for the Orange Pi R1+, but not the Orange Pi R1+ LTS. I guess that this could be a good starting point if I can figure out how to change the PHY.

Hello everyone, my wife has transitioned my family to google calendars and in an effort to keep myself up to date I built a Magic Mirror using an OP PC+. It worked beautifully in testing in standard video layout but to effectively use the screen I have mounted it rotated in a frame and this is where my problems began. Upon rotating the image in XFCE either 90 or 270 degrees video performance drops to single digit FPS. No increase in CPU utilisation so i cannot understand what the issue is. I have done a bit of googling and there is litle information and no apparent solution available. has anyone else suffered with this? …

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). I assume they are just overloaded and theres not much to do about that. But it has caused one of my system to be out of date for a few weeks I assume because the unattended upgrade script doesnt retry. 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). The apt configuration in etc is a bit of magic to me so Id appreciate if someone can guide me to get unattended upgrades to retry connecti…

Both focal and bulleye can startup on cubieboard1 but without network. screen log shows: sun4i-emac 1c0b000.ethernet eth0: could not find the PHY sun4i-emac 1c0b000.ethernet eth0: cannot probe MDIO bus ifconfig show only "lo" and no "eth0" The network on USB-ethernet adapter is working. And I'm sure the onboard eth hardware is OK, because it works on the old system (wheezy and jessie) . Is it a driver issue? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi all, I have found that hw acceleration can be achieved with OpenGL, sunxi Cedrus, using old Xenial on 3.4 kernel. Haven't tested yet using OpenGL, but regarding Cedrus everybody was talking about video decoding and didn't see anyone talking about encoding. Don't want to try on old kernels, therefore I'm not using Xenial. Is there a way to get hw acceleration for video encoding on recent kernels (5.10.y) for Orange pi one?

Hi, not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I just dug up an old banana pi m2plus (with on board wifi) and flashed the latest Armbian_21.08.1_Bananapim2plus_bullseye_current_5.10.60 on a class 10 samsung evo micro sd. When booting for the first time I had a monitor, keyboard and LAN attached and successfully set up users with the wizard and apt upgrade the system. Now I tried to set up wifi with "nmtui-connect SSID " after this guide: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/ where SSID is the SSID of my network, but I get "No such connection 'SSID' " and I can only confirm. If I open the networkmanager with it looks like …

Hello, Is it possible (and did someone) do some Computer Vision (OpenCV + Tensorflow + Keras) on Armbian installed on a S922X? Thank you and with kind regards, Ben

Please forgive me if I posted this in the wrong category. My immediate task isn't related to P2P, but my end goal of setting up a personal server is. I am attempting to compile a custom image with https://github.com/botter-nidnul/userpatches. You can read more about the project here https://urbit.org/grants/urbian-a-customized-linux-distribution-for-urbit-appliances. I can compile a focal image without customization, but when I attempt to customize the image, I get `umount: /home/nebulay/repo/project/armbian/build/.tmp/rootfs-d412f0e4-e33c-4c0c-909b-9042f7924589: target is busy` This repeats until I hit ctrl+c.

Hello here, I thank you in advance for coming here. I have gotten an Orange Pi Zero 2 H616 yesterday, and I wanted to install Docker as Rootless on the ARMBian Bullseye image, but It is failing every try I do to actually bring it up. It always gives the following message in Journalctl: docker.service: Start request repeated too quickly. I just wanted to ask if anybody has actually found a way to deal with this. Alternatively, I cannot boot any kernel higher than the legacy 4.9 kernel given on the main page, all the others give no feedback when the board connects to the current. I am pretty sure I am missing something, but I found no info …

Hello everybody, is it possible in u-boot (boot.ini) to make a user input and let the user choose from A or B and according to the choice load a particular uInitrd? In case a non-valid answer is given a default answer should be used. Best of all would be if I could implement a time-out. When user does not make input answer B should be selected. I would know how to do this in bash but is that also possible in boot.ini somehow?

I like to connect an Atmega328 micro to the UART of the Neo Core. The micro runs on 5v. Are the neo core pins 5v tolerant? I can't find any information on the Website only this one: "All pins are 3.3V, output current is 5mA"

I like to attach an additional LED to my Core on any GPIO that is also going to switch on as soon as the Core boots (similar to the red one). This way I can give the user a feedback that the core is now booting. Is there a way to achieve this?

Hello, I'm attempting to port an unknown rk3399 board to Linux from Android with kernerl 4.4. I managed to extract the devicetree and it's slowly coming along with poking arround and mixing and matching and comparing devicetrees (it's not easy but I got time ;-) ) The board uses a tc358775 converter for the lvds display since the rk3399 doesn't have one built in. With patch from here: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16747-orange-pi-4-kernel-510y-mipi-dsi-panel-sucessful/ it started to show some signs of life. The screen is lighting up seems to have activities but it's just showing bars. I'm not sure if it's a timing issues, but I used…

Hello everybody, I am not using OpenMediaVault but I am trying to implement some of its feautures into my existing system based on Armbian Bullseye, running on ODROID HC-2. Is there any tutorial or HowTo available that explains steb-by-step how to install and setup auto-shutdown feauture and WOL? I'd like my odroid hc-2 shut-down when not in use (especially over night) and let it auto-start again whenever I access it via \\myhost\share or \\192.168.0.1\someshare. If that's not possible then I can live with sending a WOL magic packet manually. Any known tutorial avaible for doing this on a ODROID-HC2 ?

Hi I need add custom hdmi timings for LCD Waveshare 5.5" AMOLED. LCD works fine on RPI 4. On Armbian I see 1/3 screen only.

Hello Unfortunately my OrangePi PC which I used for couple of years failed and I'm looking to buy the 64-bit SBC from Pine64. Funny thing about my OrangePi PC was that there was one and only one old Armbian image version (Armbian-20.05.4-Orangepipc-focal-5.4.45.img) which ran GUI successfully out of the many other Armbian and OrangePi images I tried which helped me run it as a desktop for using Libre office and others. Unfortunately 1GB RAM was too low for Gaming lol. Thanks to the Armbian community for that. Before buying, I presume the PineA64 LTS version has a 64bit Rambus if not - I don't understand how processing speed will be bett…

I just installed armbian buster on my NAS (odroid HC2). Everything works perfectly. However, as debian bullseye has become stable and I expect this to happen for armbian also in the near future, I am thinking about how to do the upgrade. This is mainly because all my other boxes run bullseye and administration becomes a lot easier if all systems run the same version. In addition, I will have to do the update anyways at some point in time and therefor I want do it when armbian bullseye becomes stable. Reading through the forum I found out it is not supported. However, I am using debian now since woody and have done a lot of upgrades since then, I th…

I have orangepi plus2e, 32 bit and tor does not seem to work on a 32 bit board. I see orangepi now sells 64 bit boards. My sole purpose is to use Tor on orangepi and will buy whatever 64bit OP board I need. But I first want to make sure I am correct in that tor will work with OP4.

Hello I've previously build and deployed an armbian image for a pinecube using "bionic" which used kernel version 5.10.60. I have recently tried to build and deploy a new image, but the kernel is now 5.10.72 which wouldn't normally be a problem, but I have found that I've not been able to get gstreamer and some of it's dependacies installed. Is it possible to specify a particular kernel version when I'm building an armbian image, in if so how do I do it? Thanks in advance Andrew

Hello I need to increase the size of the CMA on my armbian set up. But I've not found a way to do it. Is there a kernel command line option I need to pass to increase the CMA size, or is this done in the kernel configuration before building? Thanks in advance Andrew

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.

I have a Waveshare 2.8 A TFT LCD (https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/2.8inch_RPi_LCD_(A)) and I used it with the orange pi zero LTS board using the instructions given here: I used Armbian_5.90_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.19.57.img as the OS, downloaded from the Armbian download page archives.

I was able to log into the Orangepi Zero board from the serial port (ttyS0) connected to the PC, from ssh in Putty on the same PC, and also from the console shown in the LCD (tty1) using a keyboard attached directly to the orangepi zero.

Is there an SPI LCD module that works out of the box with the latest armbian image for the orange pi zero board? I am using Armbian_21.08.1_Orangepizero_focal_current_5.10.60.img and it seems to be missing fbtft_device file which looks like it is very important. I have also seen forums and blog posts that say SPI LCD will not work, or there are no working drivers, for linux kernel 4 and higher, and that I should use linux kernel 3. I am currently also testing out Armbian_5.90_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.19.57.img which I believe has kernel 4.19.57. Where can I download an older image that has kernel version less than 4?
