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!

Hi there, I would like to have a Docker container accessing the GPIO on the Orange Pi Zero. For the time being, I'm using OPi.GPIO as a library to make a LED blink, but will use Java-Periphery and SSD1306 later on. As for now, the LED is blinking, all is fine. What I would like to do now it to create a Docker image from Armbian doing the same thing, so I was thinking of starting the image from scratch with Armbian root directory. How could I find/make a minimal Armbian root directory to build my Docker image upon? Thanks.

Hi! Have limited knowledge in linux, all self learned so bear with me if I sometimes sound like an i**ot in my wording. I have used lots of different Raspberry pi's but since they are near to impossible to get your hands on I figured I'd try out some of the alternate boards. Got myself a nanoPiNeo2, orangePiZero2 and an orangePiPC2 just for the fun of it. I have tried this on the nanoPi and the opiZero2 and run into the same problems, havent even opened the opiPC2 yet but I suspect it will be the same problem on that board. Downloaded armbian for each separate board (instead of debian) because I want to use the same system o…

I am looking for some guidance on where to start reading on creating my own image for a RK3126, I have already grabbed a backup of the current eMMC image with rkflashtool (system, backup, kernel, boot, uboot, metadata etc.) I have mounted the system folder & grabbed the firmware out of there already as well & the firmware from https://github.com/rockchip-linux/rkbin I am not asking for a step by step guide on this, I have intermediate skills concerning Linux. Been using it for 15 years, many Arch installs, completed LFS successfully once. I am just looking for a nudge in the right direction so I can get started on this. rkflashtool: info: rkf…

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…

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?

Hi, We are testing our orange pi one in critical external environments like warehouses, manufacturing and other. In some cases, even if the good case there is a misconnection between the sd card and the orange pi one. Connected in ssh i can access the orange pi but a lot of command cannot responde anymore, like ls, top, htop, tail and others. Even the reboot shows me the input-output-error, and the only way to reboot the hardware is using "echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger". When this happens, i tried create a cron with 'at' or background jobs using sh like './script.sh &' with the content "echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger" but still not works. …

I have armbian 5.17 and notice sometimes cron does not work after reboot To verify this, I issue "pgrep cron" and nothing comes out How cron is started in armbian? I take a look on /etc/rcx.d ... nothing start there Can somebody explain?

The ARM kernel itself has already been compiled. How to compile a ARM kernel module on an VM amd64?

Hello, as i didn't found a perfect UI for my cubie and me and i always liked the look and feel of crunchbang, i developed a little script in the past to bring #! to my cubietruck. It should also work on every other debian based image, but i mainly targeted igor's image since it seemed to be the best base to start from. NOTICE: crunchbang has EOL-status, no updates coming from them! I mainly use it even though, because its very fast and stable on my cubie. This script could be injected into building process or can be run on a fresh 'install'. Just use the get_crunchy.sh script and relax or download the image from second post. It's tested on debian jessie and wheezy…

Hi, i recently upgraded my armbian from Kernel 4.9.something to 4.10.12. After the upgrade cryptdisks wont decrypt my partitions and in the syslog Any ideas? there seem to be no modules missing and the crypto functions are there

Could someone remind me of the status of the H3 crypto engine, both hardware (capabilities, aes-ni ?) and software (mainline or vanilla kernels) ? I've been testing openvpn on an amlogic s905 box (still need to fix my beelink x2 problems) and as expected i'm hitting a cpu bottleneck. i've been able to achieve around 60Mbps (Blowfish-cbc, usb hdd, ext4) but openvpn being single threaded the cpu load maxes out thus limiting openvpn's bandwidth. Unfortunately as with most vpn providers you can't tweak all parameters and so, changing the tun-mtu size is not possible and has to stay at the default 1500 value. I will perform some tests on my beelink x2 or opi pc…

Hi guys, we are working on custom board based on A20, similar to Olinuxino MICRO. Our firmware is Buildroot based, with enabled Cryptodev and openssl with -DHAVE_CRYPTODEV, -DUSE_CRYPTODEV_DIGESTS. I know that we should not expect a drastic performance gain, but I wonder if this thing works at all, since I do not see any load on system level while the user space process still utilizes 100% of CPU on one core. Yes, openssl performance test reports some better numbers after "modprobe cryptodev", but not so good as other people report. I suspect that something is missing. I do not see interrupts with number assigned to crypto-engine in dts. crypto: crypto-engine@1c…

Hi can anyone help. I've got CSF firewall running on my Helios4 and I keep getting emails saying that rsyslog isn't running.

I recently got my OV5640 camera working with an orange pi PC board, but I've found that after a while of leaving it powered on unused, I'm unable to access /dev/video0. When it's in this non-working state, trying to access /dev/video0 results in the following in dmesg: [ 99.571841] [OV5640@lex]CSI_SUBDEV_STBY_OFF! [ 99.608221] [OV5640@lex]enable oe!

Currently I have a Tinkerboard S and due to lack of USB WiFi support (Tinkerboard only has 2.4ghz, but 5ghz is necessary), I need another OS or SBC. Support for CSI camera is also required. I've installed Armbian on TinkerBoard and read a couple of threads on this forum. It looks like there is no CSI support for the Tinkerboard and there is no CSI camera support coming (couldn't get the camera to work on Armbian). The Rockchip on the Tinkerboard has the advantage of H264 encoding and very useful. There are other SBC boards with dual band and Rockchip (different Rockchip than the Tinkerboard), like the RockPi or the RockPro, but I can't really find out if the C…

I am new here. I am beginner SBC user. I have cubieboard 2. I know that is already out of support, but I think that someone here could help me. I am trying to run armbian on cubieboard 2(allwinner a20) with cubiescreen. I found these drivers: https://github.com/y-salnikov/cubieboard2-cubiescreen, but I don`t know what should I do with these. Maybe someone run armbian on cubieboard 2 with cubiescreen and could explain step by step how to do this. Please help.

Hi After doing a clean install to SD card of armbian 5.3 Ubuntu Xenial, I see multiple failures to install packages like Docker and Gitlab via apt-get. In both instances, I follow instructions as per the official pages, but when I try to do the installation, apt-get will report that "E: Package 'docker-ce' has no installation candidate" for example, even though it is present searching in the cache. Am I doing something wrong - perhaps I need another repository source?

Hi All I cannot seem to find information specific to the Cuibieboard 2 - only reference to BPI running Ubuntu on SATA? Is this still possible? I have been able to do this on my old Cubieboard 2 but with a very old image. I don't know if this is possible with the latest Ubuntu's? If so, please point me to instructions? I have downloaded Armbian 5.3 onto SD card and got one of my Cubie's to boot fine from SD but would prefer either NAND or via SATA (SSD - preferable). I think the way I was able to do this on my old boards was to have the bootloader run from the NAND and then the SSD would take over from there, but…

My trusty Cubieboard II has been working great for a long time now, but after doing an upgade, it fails to now boot. It operates headless as a simple server for my off-grid home energy system and Lithium battery monitoring. I found I wasn't able to post this over in the A20 section, so hopefully someone from over in that section will come over here to read. Details I still have in my terminal screen, so I can copy to here.

Hi, I know that the cubieboard2 is quite old, but I also got the impression from the forum that there should be a NAND support available somehow. Is there anybody who could give me a hint what I need to do to activate the NAND on the latest armbian-buster image? That would help me a lot .

Hello. I've installed the newest Armbian Bionic Ubuntu with the Desktop on my Cubietruck. In the past i had Debian Wheezy running on it with working remote desktop connection over Windows 10 (sesman-xvnc). Now with the new Ubuntu i cant connect anymore to my Cubietruck. If i open the Remote Desktop Tool on Windows 10 i get a connection to my Cubietruck and i can see the login Screen. But there is no more an option (sesman-xvnc). I can only see (xvnc). If i connect through this option i can login to my cubietruck. If login is successful i see only an empty desktop without elements and without a background-image. How can i solve this issue? I have installed…

Hi, I upgraded 4.13.16-sunxi to 4.19.47 Seems all went fine. but after reboot the former 4.13.16 kernel is still active. My cubietruck runs sd-card+ssd with system moved to ssd by armbian-config. Maybe the issue has to do with the sd-card/ssd booting sequence? If I have the sd-card/ssd system up and running, will the sd-card be touched with later kernel upgrades too, or just the root system at ssd? Holger armbianmonitor: http://ix.io/1Lit

Armbianmonitor -u After an attempt to use wifi on cubietruck on Buster server 20.05.2 (upgraded from Jessie) the board experiences random freezes and I need to power-cycle the board to bring it back. I am now on Buster 20.08.02 after upgrade without using wifi (blacklisted as on the original image) I am trying to pinpoint the source of the freeze (I don't want a fresh install) but due to zram logging, I can't seem to be able to find anything useful in the logs. Can someone suggest any other method to debug my issue or how to temporarily disable zram logging? Edit: I used systemctrl to stop zram and zram logging temporarily

Hi, Can anybody tell me where to find the source for the A20 NAND U-boot found in the Armbian Cubietruck releases ? I've been using an old copy of the linux-sunxi u-boot git. I've recently updated it but the config in the lichee-dev-a20 branch seems to be for Android only and has no provision to load boot.scr. Thanks, Steven

Installed Armbian to SD-card-1. Booted Cubietruck from it: works great. Made some changes in system and wanted that changes to another SD card, so I copied entire root ( / ) filesystem from SD-card-1 to my-armbian.tar.gz. There is better ways of doing this: dd or another make-image-software or better remember my changes related to original Armbian and made that changes in new system. But lets consider my stupid way:) Got new SD card: SD-card-2. Created partition table with 1 partition. Made ext4fs on that 1 partition. Unpacked my the filesystem to the partition. Used gparted and set flag BOOT. SD-card-2 didnt booted. I realized that i need U-Boot on it. …

As a newbie here I'd first like to send greetings to all members and to send a big THANK YOU to the support team. My problem is: After booting cubietruck and installing the updates the USB devices aren't recognized anymore. I'm using standard devices: wired Logitech mouse, wired Cherry keyboard. Updating went smoothly and finished normally. Immediately after it, at the console prompt the keyboard was already dead. I rebooted repeatedly via HW switch because I couldn't log in and keyboard LEDs were also off. My questions: What could I try to fix this? Is any important info missing? Here is an extraction fro…

Hi: I recently installed Buster xfce desktop on Cubox i4pro. Everything works great, except I can not power off cubox.

Hi all, I've been reading a lot about VPU acceleration for h264 decoding and encoding. However, it seems that there is not much regarding transcoding (decoding + encoding). I would be interested in decoding 1080p h264 and encoding it back to 720p h264 in realtime. Ideally having that operation on 2 streams in parallel would be great. I've seen that quite some work has been done in cedrus As I can, h264 decoding seems to be supported but encoding is unclear. And there is obviously no comment about running both operations at the same time. Since I would like to run a few tests and maybe help a bit, what hardware should I order…

Hello Armbian Community, As you can see by my post count, I am new to Armbian, but so far have found it to be an amazing resource, and truly appreciate the hard work you all do. Its really impressive, and your knowledge and understanding of SBC’s is incredible. I am attempting to get Armbian working on a custom A64 device that was originally designed to be used as a Point-of-sale machine, that runs Android. I understand I am venturing into uncharted territory here, and this is absolutely not supported, but it’s a fun project and I am learning a ton. I am asking for help, but realize none may be available. Here is the hardware I have in hand. …

Hi everyone! I am using https://github.com/armbian/build to prepare my own images for orange pi boards. I have a board (orange pi pc) which one I want to use in the my car KIA, and I have touch screen for that.

Hey guys and a happy new year! I am working on a custom H3 board and I just got the prototypes from the oven. I am now trying to boot armbian on them. And as it's first prototypes I expected problems but I have trouble figuring out. I think it's because of my lack of understanding the boot process. See picture of the board enclosed.

I loaded a kernel module from the official Linux Github repo, compiled and placed it within /lib/modules/......... Now if I make changes to this kernel module, and recompile it and reboot, the old one still gets called. If I rmmod and modprobe however, the new module gets loaded. The module I'm talking about is qcaspi. This issue doesn't occur on RPi so I'm thinking it could be an Armbian issue or an oversight by me. Any help please?

Hi Guys: I have been trying to write a custom overlay to use gpio-poweroff. I'm using ARMBIAN 5.37.180106 nightly Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 4.14.11-sunxi.

Greetings, I'm attempting to apply a custom patch during the build process for a bananapi-m2-zero. (specifically, DTS changes) I went into the kernel source, and created a diff, and put it in the user customized patches directory. Unfortunately, the patch failed. So, I dug into it, and discovered the source changes because of patches in the armbian patches/ directory. So, instead I started the build, let these patches apply,, and aborted the build. Then I created the diff again. Sadly, the patch is still being rejected. Now, I might be able to fight with this, and make it work. But the next time I pull a new update it could be broken a…

Maybe this is a little off topic but I am researching and trying to find a PCB designer that can design a custom Allwinner board. Does anyone have any great leads for such a freelanser or firm?

Hi, I am using Armbian 5.90 on an BananaPi as a RTL-TCP server for an RTL-SDR stick which plugs in the USB port. Everything work fine since more than a year. Now since one of the latest updates, the RTL-TCP server doesn't work anymore 24/7. After a while, I can not connect to the server anymore. I studied the logs and it seems, that kernel/udev/upowerd powers off the USB-port where the RTL-SDR stick is plugged. The stick reinitializes, but the binding of the stick to the running server gets lost. There seems to be something new to the kernel/system which cyclically drops the USB connection to my stick. Any ideas, how to …

I run this command I saw that my system clock is not synchronized. destructor@orangepiplus:~$ timedatectl Local time: Mon 2020-05-18 14:05:45 EEST Universal time: Mon 2020-05-18 11:05:45 UTC RTC time: Tue 1970-01-06 15:48:55 Time zone: Europe/Kiev (EEST, +0300) System clock synchronized: no NTP service: inactive RTC in local TZ: no So how can I active ntp server? I undestand that is common Linux OS question but when I installed Linux OS on PC devices it never disturb me because there it worked as default

Hi, I just start using armbain after login I saw this error date: invalid date '</body>\r' per attach image. What cause this error ? I have look into motd configuration this error not coming from there. Another monitor package that was installed is rpimonitor. It's look like a some kind of script that run after login.

Hi, I've got Armbian Jessie setup as I want and wanted to clone it for backup. But when I boot the clone I get errors that lightdm can not start and my home dir is owned by root and is empty. The sudoers file is missing etc etc. Any ideas why this is happening? I've cloned Raspberry images hundreds of times and never seen this. The original card still boots perfectly? I've used this line to clone (on a Ubuntu machine) sudo dd if=/dev/sdc of=~/sdclone.img and when writing back sudo dd if=~/sdclone.img of=/dev/sdc I've also tried with bs=4M, notrunc,noerrors etc etc What should I do?

DD command failed to write sd card end up writing only 200 mb to 600 mb with error message no space. my card is 16gb formated and checked by gparted . error being repeated contuesly. All option tried bs=4m, 1m nothing works out. kindly respond somebody has any solution.

I am running an Debian Buster 4.0 with OMV5 - the error logs happens to log this error steadily: odroidhc4 kernel: [ 84.894025@0] drivers/amlogic/efuse/efuse_hw64.c:_efuse_read:202: read error!!! What would this be?

Hello everyone, I am currently experiencing a network configuration problem. This concerns a project based on an ODROID C2 board with a Linux Debian 9 stretch 5.73 / Kernel 3.16.57 the board is equipped with a USB 3.0 hub + RJ45 powered. The ultimate goal is to have the WAN on eth0 in DHCP (odroid LAN) an eth1 LAN in static (HUB LAN) A wifi key RALINK RT5572 in access point with a static ip, hosting the bridge of the eth0 if necessary. What works so far: Everything is "ok" on boot, however it was necessary to disable some services at startup, and some behavior is strange: Services disabled: Wpasupplicant (disabled and hidden) otherwise impossibl…

I have an N2+ that I'm flashing Debian Buster onto an emm card. Have tried numerous times in several variations -- flash emm, boot system, log in via ssh, set up personal account, "apt update", "apt upgrade", reboot. After that I cannot log in via ssh anymore. I am using the system in headless mode and don't currently have a working serial connection (SiLabs hasn't updated their drivers to Big Sur yet) so I can't tell if the system is booting but ssh isn't working. Anyone know why "apt upgrade" would cause it to not boot or not present an ssh server properly?

Hello, new here. I'm trying to build a headless environment for my ORDOID N2 based on a stable Debian (hence Buster), but I need some packages which aren't in the Buster repo (e.g. a CLang >7). I've tried following some instructions I found for adding Bullseye testing repo, and it makes the packages available, but the installation doesn't go well. Is this an unreasonable thing to attempt? Can anyone offer any guidance for how to get newer packages onto my Buster build? (anyone know when Bullseye will become the stable release?)

Hi, is it possible to connect to open wifi network from debian wheezy on my Cubietruck? Tried many ways, googled a lot, have no solution. Wpa2 networks works great, but not open wifi. Please help!

Hello everybody, had to reinstall my pine64 completely since it wasnt reachable over ethernet anymore, dont know why but after a restart on debian stretch it seemed that ethernet wasnt initialized anymore (lights were not even starting anymore) so i formated the sd card and went to the download directoy and i was surprised to only see debian jessie images left, is there a reason for that? anyway, so i downloaded the current stable realease but now i m having trouble with the repositories, it seems that i cannot update properly since i get an error message for following index W: Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dist…

Hi all, is anyone running Debian Jessie on a Bananapi? I'd like to upgrade from debian wheezy to Jessie, but I am afraid of a performance degrade due to the fact that ramlog is not available for Jessie. Since linux tends to write a lot of things to its logs, do you know wether Jessie performs worse, better or the same as Wheezy on Bananapi? I use my board as a proxy, router and web server...

I was fine with my OPI + 2 with debian jessie, but suddenly it got stuck! It says he can not find modules "pl" "ppdev" and "parport_pc". Just say that "Failed at step EXEC spawning / bin / plymouth: No such file or directory is there a solution?

Hi, I would like to get a Debian Jessie version without systemd. I already tried to reconfigure an armbian image to remove systemd (There are several topics about this like this one or this discussion). This worked for me except for one important thing: initramfs. When I tried to configure and run my system using initramfs, I get always an error and system stop booting. I would like to know if it is possible to configure the build-tool (compile.sh) to directly create a Jessie image without systemd and with sysvinit. Something like this (as described here): preseed/late_command="in-target apt-get install -y sysvinit-core" Is it possible and what part …

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 am using debian jessie on orange pi H3 boards and I am very satisfied with it. but I need to upgrade now since jessie is out of support. i want to upgrade to debian buster since my pi is using as a server without any display attached. but I wonder maybe there is something good I missed from ubuntu: like 10 years LTS support? or perhaps most developers are using ubuntu so it is more mature? just need some advice. thanks a lot!

Does anybody ever get a solution for that problem? In VT trying to mark something via pointer this is not possible while editing in vim So I do "systemctl restart gpm" and pointer can mark text ........ BUT! vim switches to "-- VISUAL --' and cannot be used any longer! With arrow-keys one can go arround but all text is goin to be marked. You have to press the escape key for quite a long time. This is XAB extraordinary annoying behavior I don't know if debian people are not willing to repair that or don's know how to do that. I did make several reports but just get stupid answers. Sorry for wanting to use: console AND vim…

What are the differences between Debian and Ubuntu servers from armbian? When is the Debian server release coming for the NanoPi NEO?

I've been using debian on all my systems for a long time. On my x86 and x64 systems, debian_version always gets updated after dist-upgrades and upgrades. It has never been the case for my embedded boards running armbian jessie. I tried to research into what actually does the trigger, but I can't find any details. When I log in, my splashscreen confirms there are no new updates (I updated this morning). It's still showing 8.0 in /etc/debian_version. I expect to see /etc/debian_version reflect 8.4 Any ideas? sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade...

I'm pretty sure I'm wrong here with my issue but since I'm out of ideas I gotta ask here just to make sure. I've successfully set up a vpn server on linksys router running dd-wrt. Connecting from outside I can reach all local IP's despite of my hummingboard running armbian. I didn't add or change any firewall settings. What I also tried is to give it a static Ip adress by editing /etc/network/interfaces and adding/uncommenting this: iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.57 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1 and also /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.1.1 ..with no …

Hello, I'm using armbian on Orangepi PC PLUS and i'm controlling GPIO pins with Python. Everything is working fine when I start my Python script. Problem is during boot with GPIO3, because it's by default on pull up, and that is making me problem on device which is connected to that pin. Can I change that pin to be default OUT and pull down? When my python scripts starts, it will change GPIO3 to OUT and set it to 0, but I have only problem during boot.

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…

Armbian Monitor http://ix.io/3qFr Im using Orange Pi Zero with Armbian Buster and have ir-keytable installed. The problem I'm facing is the the kernel is repeating the keycodes too fast.

How to dissable and enable to start desktop gui after restart ? Thanks for help

At first, I used 3.x kernel with Armbian_5.30_Orangepione_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop.img. This has a problem displaying my hdmi 5inch 800x600 lcd. So I changed the kernel to 4.x with nightly build image, Armbian_5.32.170706_Orangepione_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.11.8.img. It displays well from u-boot. For x window, I installed Xorg and ubuntu-desktop. When I run startx, it says unable to connect to X server: Connection refused. What should I do for x window? I want to use Chromium.

Hello, I have been using armbian for a couple of months now developing a small product, and this is my issue... When the OS boots, it gets directly to the Desktop environmet and never asks for a password (unless for a supervisor function form the terminal) I need one of the following options... 1) OS ask for password before let yo do anything on the desktop 2) It boots onto a console and ask for password (then you can manually start the Desktop) Any Help will be apreciated..! Best Regards

Hi, Using Ubuntu (OPiPC/Ubuntu desktop/legacy) and the window borders are really 1 pixel thick, it makes it impossible to grab using only the mouse. I know about Alt+rightclick and Alt+F8, but I wonder if there is any other way to resize windows without occupying both hands. Any desktop applet that can configure the window border thickness?

Hello, With NanoPI-m2 (debian jessie) and OrangePI-PC (ubuntu xenial) at hand, I try to detect states of hdmi and audio jack (plugged in or not). With nanopi I can get the hdmi state from syslog kern messages (HDMI HPD State 0x0 or 0x1, according to it's plugged in or not), but I haven't found something like that on Orange PI. And I've found no way to recognize if the audio jack is plugged in or not. Any suggestion, howto get that, will be greatly appreciated.

Hello, please how can I detect if OS runs from microSD or from on board emmc? Anything like python, sh or command line command would be helpful. Many thanks.

Hi, I have been using Armbian for the Tinker Board S for quite a while and communications with my peripherals using /dev/spidev2.0 had been working fine. I just did a an apt update and then an apt dist-upgrade and now it appears that /dev/spidev2.0 is gone. The /boot/armbianEnv.txt looks fine (untouched) and still has spi2 and spidev2 listed in the overlays. I did see that the dist-upgrade touched the rockchip overlay and I am trying to figure out what changed there. In the meantime, is there a way to get spidev2.0 back? Thanks in advance. PS: Details. broken w/ Armbian Buster with kernel 5.10.34-rockchip #21.05.01 w/ XFCE …

I am considering building a development machine for building images, and Debian packages (deb). I do not plan a GUI on it. I plan to ssh in.

Hello, I have a cubieboard (first one), and i used it with VGA output, by changing script.bin values. Now i installed armbian with vanilla kernel, and realized that i can't use script.bin anymore (since its using device tree blobs). Does anyone know what do i need to change in dtb file to get a working VGA out ? or is there some kernel parameter to override dtb values ? Thanks PS thanks for the great work Igor!
