Hi, I'm trying to work with the CedarX/Cedrus Video Engine (on Allwinner A20). It works smoothly with my patched FFmpeg; for example: ffmpeg -f v4l2 -r 30 -pix_fmt nv12 -video_size 1280x720 -i /dev/video0 -vcodec cedrus264 -pix_fmt nv12 -qp 15 -f rtsp -rtsp_transport tcp rtsp://192.168.10.11/live/test I need to use pixel format RGB24, but as far as I understand, I'm limited to work with NV12 (or NV16) pixel format. Does this limitation is due to: My FFmpeg patch (I think not...) CedarX/Cedrus driver implementation. Hardware limitation. Thanks for the help, Joseph

Hi Armbian Folk, I'm having trouble formatting a 120GB HDD as LUKS encrypted using 'Disks'. Successfully managed to do this with a 120GB SSD already so not sure what the issue is. Screenshot of error message here: https://imgur.com/a/X5FSuuK Any advice great-fully received. Thanks

I read that armbian bullseye for odroid HC2 is still unstable, while it is considered stable for other boards. Can somone explain the reaseon for this? Or point me to a place where this is discussed? If I knew what the reason is and it would be not important for my application, I could switch to bullseye now. Regards, jba

Hey there! I'm trying to create an image with Debian Bullseye using Debos and Armbian. My board is an Orange Pi PC H3. I am following this step guide to generate the image, but I'm having problems to read serial. The tutorial that I follow was created for Orange Pi Zero +2 H5, so I change the architecture for armhf. When I boot the image I don't have any file named "armbianEnv.txt". This file should be already there? Or I have to create it? Some idea about what can be the problem? Just for test I create this file with some parameters that I found, but still not working.

Hello I use a odroid c2 und create a full img backup. Can i use this in a newer odroid like too? I have some programms etc on it and don't want to reinstall it.

Hi all, This used to work absolutely fine for me a couple of years ago but for some reason it isn't working at all now. I had to format the eMMC and re-flash it. Using either Bookworm or Jammy, when I try to run the script for boot from eMMC / system on NVME after the reboot it won't boot again. I've tried on both, tried before / after apt-update etc. Just doesn't seem to want to work when it used to in the past. This is what I'm seeing, apologies for phone photos, as I was in my living room, no way to take a screenshot. Any ideas? Thank you!

Is there any reason with llmnr has been enabled on each interface while mdns has been globally and x interface disabled?

hi there! im a beginner in the linux world, but to try to learn a bit more and to try to make something useful im currently lookin at a orange pi 4 board in hope to somehow turn it in a NAS/Emby server. i played a little with the Opi4 and it looks promising, the only problem is that it doesnt have sata ports. i can get an extension board to plug in a mPCIE device, and i was planning to use it to connect a PCIE-Sata device. since i still have to buy it, do you have any suggestion? i looked at the JMB585 and the ASM1166 expansion boards, they both have plenty of ports for what i need and the speed its more than amazing, but i would like to know if they are …

Hey guys and gals and aliens and their pets, What does a better single board computer look like? What chipset does it use? what does it do differently from past models? I have some thoughts on this but I'd be remiss not to ask yours. "Better" is a goal. Need to figure out what better is, first, and then act.

I run ARMBIAN 5.38 stable Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 4.14.18-sunxi on an Orange Pi Zero. Cron and its timezone are causing me problems: it's initially one hour out - all root crons run an hour early. If I run dpkg-reconfigure tzdata and set the correct region/place, cron then runs correctly until the next reboot. I can see no difference between the localtime and timezone files before and after the reconfigure (strangely, the localtime link is replaced by a file following a reconfigure - this is different from my other Armbian machines). I can work around the problem as follows: following a start/reboot I then restart the cron serv…

Hi, I realise the NeoCore is not yet supported, but I hope someone can help me with a problem that I am having using the GPIO as buttons. I would like to use the gpio marked GPIOPA13,P A14, PA15,P A16 and PA2 I think these are used by the UART and SPI - I don't require this functionality. I think I have to modify the fex, I have looked, but do not want to kill my system Isit possible to use those gpio? Can someone point me in the right direction? TIA. J.

Hello, I would like to set up a small server, mostly for home sftp & torrent needs (maybe a voip server like Mumble). My requirements and questions fall into 3 categories: 1.) Openness & community support 2.) Stability 3.) Future viability 1.) One of my main requirements is for the board to be open / running on as little software blobs as possible. I would like to support manufacturers who seem to care for open source community. The two main manufacturers I see mentioned regularly are Olimex and CubieTech and the A20 as a best supported SoC. I'm currently looking at CubieTruck and OLinuXino-Lime2 but I'm wandering: …

I have several orange pi pc plus using armbian and need to upgrade. I was able to upgrade to bionic but the kernel continued on version 3.4.113-sun8i. How do I upgrade the kernel? I need to upgrade because I will use the docker and it requires a kernel at least with version 3.10

Hello. I have an orange pi zero and awus1900 with chipset rtl8814au. ( Armbian 20.11.6 Focal with Linux 5.10.4-sunxi ) I try install driver for rtl8814au as this. But I am faced with the following problems: Then i did: cp /usr/src/linux-headers-5.10.4-sunxi/scripts/module.lds.S /usr/src/linux-headers-5.10.4-sunxi/scripts/module.lds sudo sed -i '$ d' /usr/src/linux-headers-5.10.4-sunxi/scripts/module.lds And make with ARCH option with "arm". But i have now next problem:

I'm running the latest 5.10.21-sunxi kernel. I figured out how to use the PWM pin with the help of this post. I have an LED connected to the PWM pin and when I run for example: sudo sh -c "echo 250 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm0/duty_cycle" the LED updates instantly. But when I try to fade the LED with a script, the LED always takes 6 seconds to update. This is the script: #!/bin/bash #Export PWM channel for user control. sh -c "echo 0 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/export" #Select the period of PWM signal. Value is in nanoseconds. sh -c "echo 500 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm0/period" #Change the polarity of the PWM signal. #The …

Hallo, I hope the topic hasn't existed before .. I have an Bananpi M2+ as H5 (64bit). Good Images are OrangePi-PC2 or NanoPi K1 Plus. My problem is, no support of emmc. Are there any known compatible images for the Banana Pi M2 + H5 that work? The NanoPi K1 Plus has problems rebooting and recognizing a keyboard. The OranngeP PC2 works fine, but no emmc support. Thanks and Best wishes, Mahdi2006

Hello, I'm a novice Armbian user (I deployed a number of $8 Rockchip 3328 SBCs as security monitors which for the last few months have been working just fine). I have six identically configured SBCs that I have been regularly updating - about once every few weeks, I run 'sudo apt update' and 'sudo apt upgrade' just to make sure the systems have the latest updates to Armbian and the various software packages I depend on. Up until yesterday, updates were working just fine. Yesterday, I tried to update the SBCs, and all six threw the same errors during 'sudo apt update'. The errors are: E: The repository 'http://apt.armbian.com bionic R…

Dear All, I just want to share my workflow of successfully installing Box86-Box64, Wine32-Wine64 and Winetricks on Arm64 Big thanks to @NicoD for sharing his source code of Armbian-Gaming. I modified some of his code to be used in Armbian Focal (or any Arm64 distro) and fix the armhf dependencies issue by using the "arm-linux-gnueabihf" Library from TwisterOS. I also used some of Box86 Manual. So many thanks to all of them. Ok Let's Start: 1. Add armhf multiarch sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf sudo apt-get update 2. Install dependencies for box86 & box64 sudo apt-get install git cmake cabextract gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf lib…

Has anyone tried to install PiVPN or EasyRSA on a Rock64? I tried this and had some issues where EasyRSA did not install. No errors were shown on the install or captured in the install log. Took me a while to figure out that EasyRSA was not installed. It even created .opvn files for clients... I finally figured out what happened. Did some research and found a suggestion to manually install some packages BEFORE installing PiVPN. That seems to work, so now I have a working VPN. I just wanted to see if anyone else is having an issue. I will also post on the PiVPN Github site to get their input. Thanks!

Both my Orange Pi Pc and Orange Pi Zero have horrifically slow/laggy/issues with SSH. Random drops, connection issues, and EXTREME lagginess with keyboard input. Sometimes the session will "freeze" randomly. This is after re-installation on fresh SD cards that work well otherwise. Power supplies have been used before with same boards and same SD cards, but after re-installation of various armbian installations, it's laggy. I'm not even sure which version I started with initially with my orange pi zero which I had first, but I had upgraded and upgraded and upgraded through versions...and figured a fresh install couldn't hurt. It hurt. Th…

Hi, have anybody idea what can cause this garbage layout in armbian-config ? It works fine but seems after install some things (I cannot tell what exact, I not use armbian-config often) I get this: (similar garbage menus I have in config tool used in oscam source) Thanks for any help /Tomi UPDATE: I connect monitor via HDMI and on monitor it looks perfectly, then seems this is problem of ssh/putty...but where?

After some frustration with poor support for Banana Pi M2 Zero board by the manufacturer and not a very active community on Banana Pi forums, I stumbled upon Armbian and found out there's a CSC for building Armbian for this board. And because I'm having issues with wifi on the images found on Banana forums, with all images being old and based on kernel 3.4 -- wifi disconnects with some weird firmware errors in dmesg after about 3 minutes of running, requiring reboot to get back up again -- I was happy to read Armbian runs fine on BPI-M2Z for some folks here. So I did the build process, twice, so that I have two images to test, one with kernel 4.19 and one with 5.1, b…

I have a problem with a script python that is running in the background, this script needs to run all the time without stopping, but the script freezes or stops without error, when I change for another card, it works for a few days and then the same thing happens, however the debian system continues to work perfectly, only the background script stops working, I already debugged the code and it has no problem making it stop. my sdcard is MicroDrive class 10, 8Gb. what could be causing this problem?

Hi. I am digging many things with armbian so I install fresh armbian and many applications so many times. So I am making a long script to install many applications and edit many configuration. When it asked "Yes/On" on text prompt, I use "#echo yes | apt install vim". It works well. But when I install samba, it ask text prompt "yes/no" at first and then with dialog box "yes/no". So I tried "#echo yes | echo no | apt install samba". But it doesn't work. How can I send "yes/no" to dialog box in bash shell??

I have a similar question as asked here... https://forum.armbian.com/topic/2914-how-to-display-foreign-fonts/ I live in India and visit Hindi / Marathi websites. There are just boxes in the web browser. The script is called "devnagari". Is there a similar command as mentioned in that post?

Hi I am building armbian image for Nanopi Neo. I need to include SWUpdate package in my armbian build.

Can you please help me to understand where I should write commands to build SWUpdate from source (git repo), so that armbian build system will put the built binary and libraries into the resulting image?

Hi all. For gaming on the Raspberry Pi 4 there is nothing better(opinion) than TwisterOS. It is Raspberry Pi OS with a lot preinstalled tools for gaming. Also very nice skins to make your OS look like old Windows versions, or even MacOS. You can play old Windows games with it thanks to Box86 + wine which is preinstalled and configured. Also native x86 Linux games run amazingly well with it. There is a Steam client preinstalled. Is must say I've never used it, since I've never used/liked Steam. You can download TwisterOS here : https://twisteros.com The official TwisterOS reviewer on Youtube is @Salvador Liébana and his colleague from Pi Labs : https:/…

But my concern is how little support and community there is out there, idk if it's worth the risk. So if any one worked with it can you please tell me what kind of difficulties have you faced and how similar is it to working with the raspberry?

Hi all, I use a cubieboard3 as a web server. For several months, joomla tells me that I am PHP 7.0.33-0 + deb9u7et that I need to update my version of php to 7.3 or later. In the updates of the bone, I never see these updates of PHP, must it be done manually and how? I am in Debian Stretch with Armbian Linux 4.19.62-sunxi. Thank you François

On my Odroid C4 with Armbian Buster runs a nextcloud version 23. Buster brings php 7.3 and I have to install php 7.4. How to do this? Thanks for your help!

Where has enabling things like I2C moved to ? I do not see it any more in armbian-config (at least on the Orange Pi 5 plus image) Thanks

I am using Armbian.imager_2.0.4_amd64,AppImage on a Fedora sytem to burn two new Lenovo 256 Gbyte sd with Rpi4b_resolute_current_6.18.42_gnome_desktop_img.xz, and both report a verify failure at 113246208. I am suspicious because two sd's are failing at the same offset. I think that is unlikely, if they both have a manufacturing defect. I think it is more likely a systematic error in the software. tayolepuqi.txt

Ok, so I am bit of a linux noob. I understand the basics, and compiled my first image from source today, and hey it works! What I am trying to do is, build a image that has the packages that I need preinstalled. Packages that I need are(nfs-kernel-server, samba, speedtest-cli, openvpn, and a few other) I tend to muck up my installation quite frequently, as I play around with settings too much. What I had been doing is cloning the sd card with dd, but I am looking for a better more reliable way, that gives a fresh install each time. I didn't know whether I could edit the list of packages that are installed while compiling the image from source. Also, Tha…

Hi all, I'm looking for an option to change the kernel options for NFS/lockd in Armbian. lockd.nlm_tcpport=N lockd.nlm_udpport=M In Bananian I had to edit the file /dev/mmcblk0p1/uEnv.txt to set these ports to 4002. How do I do this in Armbian? See also: http://redsymbol.net/linux-kernel-boot-parameters/ Regards - Oliver

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.

Hi I tried all possible ways . Please suggest the steps to configure wifi in Armbian debian based OS on Nano pi Neo4.

Anyone can help me to find what I need to modify in u-boot for reach 1.2ghz cpu clock. I know that I can have some troubles with this clock but I use only 1 or 2 CPU core and already test this clock with old legacy kenrel without thermal or power issues.

So i recently bought an Orange Pi 3 and the place where I want to set it up only has a VGA monitor, that's why I decided to buy this generic HDMI to VGA adapter. The adapter works correctly with my laptop but I'm having some issues using it with the Orange Pi 3, the adapter does have video output but it randomly loses the signal and goes to black and after a short time it comes back. I initially suspected it was having some power delivering issues, so I decided to plug in an old MP3 charger I had (500mA) to the micro USB port in the adapter (which is there for this cases, I think), but even with external power connected to the adapter it still loses the signal from time t…

Hi there, i hope you can help me as i saw there are a few Wireguard Users here as well. I did setup Armbian 20.05.4 Buster on my Cubietruck and configured Wireguard. After a few mistakes the connection from outside (iOS Client) is stable but very slow. I went to the obvious roads and found the MTU setting on the client side could be an issue as well some PostUp command parameters can improve performance. But for any reason my wireguard doesn´t want to accept anything with PostUp, Safeconfig etc in my wg0.conf file: Parsing error. But without that been solved i assume i can´t work on the Performance improvement. Here a few lines of code showing the relevant confi…

So, some time ago I made some custom changes to DTB to get the OV5640 camera working on a Banana Pi M2 Zero. I was successful, and made notes on the files that I changed. Now, I'm working with the same source tree, but cleaned out. So I wanted to make my changes again because I did not know about CREATE_PATCHES then. So, i built my new image, and made the changes to the dts files. But now, /dev/media0 does not show up. I have 2 boards. One with my prior image that is fully functioning (Board A), a new one that is missing /dev/media0 (Board B). First thing I did was compare the kernel configs. They are identical. For fun, I copied the kernel from…

Hello, Like it happened to @Grogorio in 2016, I need to introduce a boot delay on my OrangePi Zero Plus (Armbian 23.02.2 Focal) to allow time for other network elements in my setup to boot. As per what I have read somewhere, this can done by adding a 'boot_delay=n' line in /boot/config.txt, however I don't see this file in Armbian; I've also tried to add the line, but it does not seems to be working. Furthermore, the max delay that can be setup there is 10 seconds, but I need a longer delay. Can someone help? TIA

I think that the Armbian repository needs some fixes. 1. apt-cache policy shows the following: 500 http://apt.armbian.com xenial/main armhf Packages release o=. xenial,a=xenial,n=xenial,l=. xenial,c=main,b=armhf origin apt.armbian.com I think that o=. xenial is not intended.

hi all, would love to run 'mainline' kernel on some of the boards. Armbian does provide 'choice' today for most/many Orange boards as well as NanoPI ... tu build the image with mainline/4.9 kernel. my needs are not too complex a) Ethernet USB to drive USB DAC ... Is there anyone on a forum who has tried recent 4.9-rc or maybe even 4.8 and it worked well and if yes which boards did you use ? I am running Odroid-C2 happily with Armbian and 3.14.79 kernel but some of the very old bugs have been fixed later on (kernel bugs) and am looking for a board that might run recent kernel well (enough). Thank you !

On http://docs.armbian.com/Release_Changelog/I see am Armbian 5.25 with many improvements But on https://dl.armbian.com/orangepipc/the files seem to be 5.24 and older, even the nightly versions. I am interested in the sunxi mainline version with kernel 4.9. Thanks in advance! Christian

I'm gonna keep this short. I installed Omv on my Odroid HC2 via armbian-config. I messed up and now cannot get into discs or filesystems tab in Omv and cannot add new shared folder. Using a htpc script called Atomic Toolkit, I updated an app, I think nginx and by that the PHP 7.2 automatically was installed by the script. Here is the thread on Omv. I'm writing this in the hope that maybe @tkaiser or someone else may have an idea to fix this. If not, I'll start over and would like to know how I can reinstall omv. In armbian-config I tried to untick omv and continue, but this does not remove omv ..Maybe I don't have to completely remove omv…

Hello to all, after plug a CDC device (Honeywell 1900 USB scanner), only one USB port on orange pi pc board works, I use 10 orange pi boards, the problem is only present int two of this boards. I notice that when I plug the CDC device alone the other ports not to work, but when I connect the CDC with another devices (mouse, keyboards) the problem is not present. I reinstall the img and the problem persists. The two USB ports not to work anymore. I think that is a hardware problem because the 5V in the two USB ports are not present, and the plugged devices not to work! I use Armbian_5.83_Orangepipc_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop.img …

I want to do some debugging in the Orange Pi Lite 2 and it requires the ability to output the kernel log to the serial console. I am using an Arduino as a TTL-to-USB serial converter (shorting the Reset and GND pins) with the TX pin from the OPi Lite 2 UART header connected to RX on the Arduino (Digital pin 0), the RX pin from OPi connected to Arduino's TX (Digital pin 1), and Ground to Ground. I tried to enable the serial console by enabling all the UART overlays in armbian-config (ruart, uart1, uart2, uart3), setting the "console" environment variable to "ttyS0,115200", setting the "loglevel" variable to "7" and disabling the login on ttyS0 by executing the …

With the Orange Pi Zero 2 (Bullseye), when in Armbian-config I install desktop with browser...it seems working but when you enable the desktop it finished by a kill() in the terminal. You can solve the issue by apt-get install tightdm.after and not before. You will get the desktop for the user and not root. Grey Background with the pinguin. If you install Desktop in Bullseye with Orange Pi One Plus or Orange Pi Zero, no issue. You have the new Debian Desktop with a Background dark blue. Regards F1ATB.fr

Hi all; Recently i installed a armbian and seems to be all ok less the global memory detection. I don't know by but the system have only detect 256 Mb. from total amount of 512Mb. (/proc/meminfo). Of course, i proved another OS and detet all memory so i know that's not a hardware problem. Is there any trick on kernel or something misconfigurated?

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? …
