Hi, how can I disable the post install scripts? On every reboot I get following messages: Starting LSB: Armbian gathering informations about hardware. Starting LSB: PLEASE BE PATIENT AND DO NO DISTURB UNTIL FIRST REBOOT... Resizing root filesystem. Starting 128MB emergency swap area creation. Starting SSH keys recreation. So I have to delete also my ssh key when I want to connect via ssh on every reboot... Thanks in advance, hegge

What do I need to use a separate monitor for my M4. . . . . keeping in mind, I've used nothing but MS Windows up to this point. Saying that I'm a novice when it comes to Linex, etc. is an understatement. I'm actually having someone else do the initial set for me.

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?

Hi, I run a cubietruck appliance, booting by sd-card->sata (stretch). For availability reasons, I have to build up a spare part machine for quick exchange procedure if hardware/ software will crash. Thus I take a second cubietruck and copy both sd-card and ssd to second ones as a first step. How to tweak the copies to get it up and running? I am not sure about understanding the boot procedure. I assume, I have to change the UUID´s in /boot/armbianEnv.txt and in fstab to the second ssd/sda1. I tried this in the past, but didn´t succeed. Now I want to give it another try. Could someone give advice, if I am right with the UUID issue …

I'm trying to setup Ethernet connection on Omnima A20 - it's a cheaper stripped down version of Cubietruck (less RAM, less IO connectors, RTL8201CP 100Mbit network chip instead of 1Gbit). I'm using Debian Buster server image for Cubietruck. Everything works fine except Ethernet. ethtool says the link is up, full duplex 100Mbit. Neither networkmanager nor dhclient are able to obtain IP address from router. Static IP assignment (via /etc/network/interfaces or with "ip addr add/ip route add") succeeds, but router is unreachable for ping ("Destination Host Unreachable"). I've ruled out hardware failure: Inserting the same cable into laptop produc…

Hello all, I have a Novasom M7 Plus board with a Rockchip RK3328 that initially had an SD card with Armbian. I made the necessary hardware connections to connect to a screen via HDMI and then I followed all the necessary steps to perform the BOOT through the eMMc memory but after transferring the rootfs it will not start via EMMC, only with the SD card it is possible to start the system. I have tried a lot of solutions that I am finding in the forums but I still haven't been able to solve the problem. The goal is to start Armbian without having the SD card inserted.

The hardware watchdog /dev/watchdog does not reboot the board in a brand new installation with 22.02 image. What happens instead is the green LED on board goes off, both LEDs on ethernet port go on and thats it - boards halt. However, if I flash previous 21.08 to sdcard everything works fine, even after I upgraded the installation via apt-get update & apt-get upgrade to latest packages.

Recently we bought several BananaM2+ boards to integrate them into our future fiscal project We are developing software using Armbian Linux Debian-3.4.113-sun8i with standard core, which was chosen as a stable platform. For now we have a problem with integration. Due to our fiscal laws the board should be placed in the fiscal box with no access from outside. Now we are testing the board “on the table†using typical operations (even without loading it by typical cashiers operations) and the temperature rises very high. As a result the board starts switching off processor’s cores leaving only 1 working. We even still haven’t started testing the board placed into…

About a year ago I reported the kswapd0 running out of control on OPi PC and Igor, after couple of tries made it behave. Today, I got OPi One loaded with the latest 5.26 Ubuntu D/T and the OPi PC2 with today's daily Ubuntu D/T and both demonstrated the following behaviour when pressed for memory: Specifically, running a "make -j2", when the available RAM got below 38000, the kswapd0 started getting more cpu time and eventually everything stopped waiting for disk I/O (80% wa displayed in "top"). Interestingly, not a single byte of swap storage was used. I tried different combinations of programs and everything worked fine until the demands on RAM got the available RAM …

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 …

I am trying to setup my Odroid-XU4 with Armbian 20.05.2 booting from MMC and no SDCard in slot. It took me a while but finally I found what I needed. Next I've installed OpenMediaVault using armbian-config, that worked well. Within OMV I've tried to setup VLANs which I could define but they didn't work, so I had to take a deeper look into it. I've found that the interface name needed to be reverted back to eth0 since the new naming convention enx<MAC-address without ":"> uses the max available number of characters already: In my case "enx001e06320261" , so if you add a vlan "enx001e06320261.1" the name is to long, it will not start. This could be so…

Hello everyone, I have a question. It is about SSD memory, which can be connected to the usb3 interface via a converterbox SATA 1,2,3 to the OrangePi3 device. I did not find any helpful information in the hardware recommendations inside the Arbian Forum for OrangePi3 H6 all winner (looser). Before I jump into the cold water like with my RPI 4b+, I am interested in which SATA 1,2,3 adapter to SSD to USB3 works with the OrangePi3 devices. I already know that the NVME slot and memory is not supported. And a usb3 converter with SSD additionally absorbs power. Thanks for Help

I have tried many Armbian images with my orange zero 2 but the best I get is the Armbian logo. Can anyone tell me if there is something else does need to be done? With the images from the orangepi page the board works fine, so is not the hardware apparently. Thanks.

Version `25.8.2` of kernel, dtb and/or header package on Armbian Ubuntu Noble break `zfs-dkms` (I'm pretty sure kernel module `zfs` was not built with success) I had to run: ```sh sudo apt install linux-image-current-meson64=25.8.1 linux-headers-current-meson64=25.8.1 linux-dtb-current-meson64=25.8.1 && sudo dpkg-reconfigure zfs-dkms ``` I couldn't look in to the problem, because I was busy doing something else when I was just upgrading every package on the system. I had to prioritize quickly fixing it before another user arrives so I just reverted the suspicious packages (the three I mentioned in the title) I can't lo…

Edit: Issue is solved, see here. It's an application problem but according to an extensive Google research this does not seem to be a common problem of Samba, so it might be an integration problem with the environment it is running in. The setup: Armbian 19.11.6 (Debian Buster) running the current kernel on a NanoPi M4V2, offering network shares via Samba. Clients are Windows 10 and a BananaPi running Armbian (Debian Buster 4.19.y kernel) as well. The observation: When downloading (large) files from the Samba share to Windows 10, the download speed very often suddenly drops down to zero and stays on that rate (forever). This can be best…

Hi, what options do I have to access the GPIO from Python3 as a non-root user? I'm building a project based on the Rock Pi S and I have everything working (as root, i2c, GPIO) on the Radxa Ubuntu 18.04 image but as I wanted to future proof the project by using the 5.x kernel. I started with the latest Armbian_20.11_Rockpi-s_focal_current_5.9.10_minimal and enabled the i2c bus from armbianEnv.txt (rk3308-i2c1) (was already active) because the armbian-config didn't work. So I managed to get the oled display to work with the same library (luma.oled) I used on the 4.4 kernel. Then I wanted to install libmraa that I used on 4.4 but noticed was not …

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. After porting the devicetree for my camera, all drivers are working except for the actual ISP1 driver, which seems to not be built into the kernel: grep ROCKCHIP_ISP1 /boot/config-4.4.213-rk3399 # CONFIG_VIDEO_ROCKCHIP_ISP1 is not set Looking through the kernel config for this family (linux-rockchip64-legacy.config), CONFIG_VIDEO_ROCKCHIP_ISP1 is set, and this appears to be the case in the sources installed from armbian-config. I am rather new to Armbian so I'm not quite sure what's the issue here. Would be much appreciated if someone …

I'm looking to update my current Armbian File server (orange pi plus). The main reason is to gain USB3 for faster file serving, particularly rsync. I have little need for most of the features available (bluetooth,wifi,gpio,audio,hdmi), just a stable, low-cost, box that has usb3/gigabit ethernet and doesn't need a fan. I was thinking of an orange pi 3 lts for this purpose-- it seems to run armbian, and it won't break the bank at 54usd shipped with case + power supply. Do you see any problems with this choice or have alternative choices?

Hello, I have recently setup Armbian on my Orange Pi Zero 2W for a project I am working on. Everything works great so far but one thing I have noticed is that permissions feel much reduced to my user account. I require sudo to do basically everything from create a file in the home folder to use apt. This feels very different from the feel of the Raspbian install on like a Raspberry Pi. Is there any way I can change the user permissions so I won't have to use sudo for everything? Its been a bigger problem for a project I'm using Clion for where files are synced between my laptop to the pi using SFTP and Rsync but I constantly get errors about unable to create o…

I think now for the 3rd time this happens. OS is Armbian Bookworm with vendor ,current, edge kernels installed. it turns out that with vendor kenel there is no issue.

I discovered first time with 6.13.0-rc* kernel, I assumed something else might have been wrong, so more or les ignored and rebooted with vendor kernel. That happened both with nanopi-r6c and rock-3a. I also already rebooted the rock-3a on a later occasion just t make sure problem would not occur. Yesterday was on nanopi-r6c with kernel 6.15.1-edge-rockchip64. I…

Hi, Following advice regarding the Ubunto 18.04 issue where RDP throws you back to the login window if an account is already logged into the console, I'd like to disable autologon to the GUI on my Armbian_5.75_Orangepilite_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.19.20 installation. I've looked up a couple of similar questions on this issue on the forum already but I think the others describe disabling the GUI altogether, which I don't want to do. Is it just a case of setting the variable NODM_USER in /etc/default/nodm to equal nothing or 0 or something else? Thanks!

OrangePi Zero headless server Debian Buster with Armbian Linux 4.19.62-sunxi armbianmonitor http://ix.io/26Dp Selected to install Sonarr in armbian-config which completes without error, but armbian-config does not indicate that Sonarr is now installed (i.e., I can still select it and do the whole thing again). Appears that armbian-config installs Sonarr as a service, but it doesn't appear to be running after I reboot (http://192.168.1.99:8989 gives error connection refused). Looks like Sonarr relies on mono, but mono has not been installed at /usr/bin/mono. Did I fail to do some required post-armbian-config steps?

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…

When using Armbian on my Orange Pi 5b, I can't select 120hz when the resolution is 4k but I can when it's set to 1080p. In other distros like Joshua Riek's Ubuntu and the official Orange Pi 5 Ubuntu release, 120 hz is selectable in 4k and works wonderfully. Is there something I'm missing somewhere? Is there something I can do to manually enable this somewhere? This distro checks all the boxes for me otherwise. Using 120 hz makes a massive difference when streaming games from my desktop to my living room TV using Sunshine/Moonlight.

hi, i have a problem that i set a custom kernel configuration where no usb wifi module is selected to build with the kernel, and whatever i do the kernel module is still builded. i checked the generated config file and the module was properly marked not to build. probably i don't do right some basic thing, but i'm out of ideas. any suggestion? thanks

hi there, I'm trying to power my NanoPI over a Loudspeaker cable with 12V. At the end I have a 7805 voltage regulator with 100nF at input and output. At the Powersupply i meassure 12V and 200-300mA current. The 7805 gets extremely hot! Anyone seen similar behavior or got me a tip? Sincerely, Twosky2000

Hi dear friends, We are working on a project with nanopc t3 plus. We need to enable USART in this board. In three OS (Linux, Linux kernel , Android) we can not enable this feature. We need an example or sample with USART enabling. Thanks in advance.

I have installed Orangepi RK3399 Armbian 5.75 Bionic kernel 4.4.174 on Videostrong Mecoool RK3399. ( on eMMC ) I had to do only one thing. Disable DSI-1 monitor, because system regognized HDMI -1 and DSI-1. xrandr --output DSI-1 --off. ( via armbian-config boot environments setup ) Hardinfo recognized Excavator Single Board Computer. Meccool works pretty well. https://www.cnx-software.com/2017/08/11/videostrong-vs-rd-rk3399-is-another-development-board-based-on-rockchip-rk3399-processor/

Hello all! Hardware: Orange Pi Zero OS: Armbian 5.91 Orangepizero Debian buster next 4.19.59 First of all sorry, if this question very simple but I didn't find solution.

I bought OPi 3 with 8 GB emmc, installed Armbian for OPi3, buster version, in the instructions I found a way to transfer the system to emmc - the nand-sata-install command. Then my actions: 1. Without apt update/upgrade try run nand-sata-install. There is only one option in the window that appears - Install/Update the bootloader on SD/ eMMC. Ok > WARNING > ok > done > ok. Reboot without sd > OPi3 not booted. Nothing changed. 2. apt update/upgrade, try run command. Only one option - Install/Update the bootloader on SD/ eMMC. Ok... Nothing changed. What do I do wrong, maybe the version is not that, or do you need to download something? In the …

Orange Pi zero ,I am working on running toxic (tox protocol) client. On an old image with kernel 3.4.113 was able to compile custom module and load it. But with latest image with kernel 5.10.60 not able to load my custom kernel module , getting following error. " loading out-of-tree module taints kernel. module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel " Another problem I am facing as follows ethernet eth0 repeatedly up/down ,I learn that this issue exists for the past few years now without any fix !!! Any inputs regarding these are appreciated , thanks in advance.

Not sure if this is beginner or advanced, so I guess I'll start here. I have a "le potato" I recently bought. Getting it working has been a nightmare, but I'm almost there. Right now my project is to get a 32x64 RGB matrix working using an adafruit hat. I got Armbian 22.02.1 Focal running on it, and I'm using the gpiod library. I've had to write my own access library, but I've almost got it working, translating the pin labels ("7J1 Header Pin15") to the appropriate GPIO/offset values for use with gpiod. Except for exactly one. I try to use request_line on GPIO 22 (chip 0, offset 10) and it gives me an invalid argument. Doesn't do t…

a while back I created my own Armbian environment for the Orange PI Pc that uses Xstart to run a custom .exe I created. the Program uses Uart to communicate with an external Pic chip. the program has been running well and have not had any problems with it. I created a .img of the environment and have been disabusing copies. however recently ( about 2 months after ) I have been told that some of them have been crashing and digging into it I noticed is was Uart communication failing. A temporary solution has been replacing the SD card with a new one but this does not fix the issue of this happening in the first place. I have attached the Uboot of both the failing program an…

Hello everyone, I am beginner to ARMBIAN OS installed on Rock 3A ( 4/64 GB) board. Version of the Armbian OS is "Armbian_22.08.1_Rock-3a_jammy_edge_5.19.5_xfce_desktop.img.xz" and I'm trying to install basic radxa packages such as mraa, PoE function, etc. But I don't know how to and where to update the radxa repository on armbian os. Still I try to update the repository on /etc/apt/source.list.d/armbian.list , but while updating (apt update) it's throwing an error like "An error occurred during the signature verification". Please help me to solve this issue. Note : The motive is I have to work with PoE hat, for that mraa packages are essentials. And also I nee…

I am adding support for a new board: NanoPi R2S Plus. I have added it to the kernel and it works in testing so far. Now I am attempting to add the new board to u-boot. The u-boot configuration for NanoPi R2S does not enable the eMMC and I want to install to boot from eMMC. Using my modified kernel and u-boot for NanoPi R2S I am able to run armbian-install because in the system booted from SD card the eMMC is enabled. But after installing to eMMC, shutting down and removing the SD card, boot fails because u-boot cannot access the eMMC. Looking at the device tree for NanoPi R2S in u-boot, not surprisingly, eMMC is not enabled: NanoPi R2S does not have eMMC memor…

Hi, Is nand-sata-install script still included in Armbian_4.5_Cubox-i_Debian_jessie_3.14.54.raw ? Thanks

I think webrtc is a very interesting feature for such devices. Unfortunately , I only saw a drive ( UV4L : https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=105019) for Raspberry Pi2/Pi3 in linux. Does somebody here have any idea to cross-compile native webrtc source code for such a device ? Regards ! GuoFu Han

Hi, I want turn off lan lights like I can do on Banana Pi, see bpi_ledset link below: https://github.com/n1tehawk/bpi_ledset I have couple of these boards turned on and it is like live in Las Vegas when it is night. And second reason why I do not need these lights is I see network activity on switch, I do not need to see duplicity information on board and switch together. Is is possible to turn lan leds on Orange Pi boards?

Hi, Got a bit of a strange situation here. Trying to get H3 I2S working in both playback and capture. Tweaked script.bin and got the I2S0 up and running. Playback in 96K and 192K tested and is ok. Capture though is giving me a headache. When I try to use arecord it does work and generates a wav file but upon playing the file with aplay and although the samplerate (96K or 192K) and channel numbers (Stereo) show ok on screen, the audio result from this recording is always mono and looks that the included samples numer is divided by 2 thus the playback time is shortened accordingly, eg if I record 10 sec, a 5 sec playing time happens. Verified the…

Here on the forums it is often recommended to burn images using etcher. I am now wondering how etcher differs from for instance using dd or Win32Diskimager. Thanks in advance, giri

Hi, I need to compile armbian to set some kernel modules. Now the compiled kernel is installed and armbian is up. For some reason using armbin-add-overlay results in Missing dtc compiler in kernel headers directory. Please reinstall the kernel headers package I have installed the all packages I have build. . ├── linux-dtb-next-sunxi_5.53_armhf.deb ├── linux-headers-next-sunxi_5.53_armhf.deb ├── linux-image-next-sunxi_5.53_armhf.deb └── linux-u-boot-next-nanopineo_5.53_armhf.deb So the matching kernel headers should be installed.

Hello, is there any system for this trash? : < I've probably searched everything Thanx!

I have recently installed armbian on odroid c2. -The burning the armbian image using etcher.io was surprisingly easy and agreeable -gui bringup with a default desktop was agreeable too. ovo.fyi/lorem-ipsumovo.fyi/emp-mailovo.fyi/10-minute-mail -the kernel version is more recent 4.14+ -the support for mali gpu seemed to announced on this version BUT the responsiveness from the web browser, the responsiveness from the media players was choppy. When I installed the archlinux again: -followed the archlinuxarm.org wiki steps for odroid c2. Sure it wasn't like etcher two step download and burn, but the number of steps was reasonable, under twenty roughl…

Hello. I purchased A33-OLinuXino board(Olimex Lime A33) and display module LCD-OLinuXino-10 for this board. (I correctly connected the display to the board according to the scheme). On the microsd card, i installed the prebuild image: Armbian_5.65_Olinuxino-a33_Debian_stretch_next_4.19.10.img downloaded from this ftp://staging.olimex.com/Allwinner_Images/A33-OLinuXino/ server. The system boots up normally and starts the terminal via UART, but the image does not appear on the display. How do I configure the system to make the display work.

After I edit the u-boot settings in armbian-config, do I then need to select "install" to update the boot loader each time? Edit: figured out by looking thru /var/log/armbian-hardware-monitor.log that I do not.

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: …

Hello everyone, I'm using SBC Rockpi4b running the Armbian system. I encountered a problem when using the Ethernet port. I connected the SBC to my laptop via an ethernet cable directly, just like what I did with the RaspberryPi. while playing with RaspberryPi (Raspbian OS) I can get the ethernet connected, the ip address is set to 168.254.xxx.xxx, i.e., private address. then I can successfully ping the RaspberryPi's ip address in my PC. while playing with the SBC (Armbian OS), the network manager seems to keep waiting a DHCP server repeatedly; and after a while (around 40 seconds) it pops up saying the ethernet disconnected; the only way I can make it connected is to set…

Hi So I installed the minimal IOT version on the eMMC and I am struggling with it as on login, the temperature is at already 73C then ends up having a forced shutdown after like 5 minutes. I don't see why this is happening as it's literally doing nothing on the command line. Any ideas on how to fix this? I was expecting this to idle around 30s, not reach 90 in an air conditioned room. Thanks.

I am resurrecting a Banana Pi M1 that i've had in the cupboard since new. I've downloaded and installed Armbian 26.2.1 build date 03.02.26 rev 5abb97453.

I found relatively little information concerning AXP209 support on mainline. My targets : - set the battery as 4.35V instead of 4.2V. Datasheet say it's set in REG 33H. Defaut value for register : 0xCX, X being the charge current. if 1200mAh then default value is 0xC9. To change from 4.2 to 4.35V, use EXh (so E9h if you'r using 1200mA) 11001001 to 11101001.) - Remove boot when AC plugged in and boot only when PEK is pressed. Datasheet say it's possible is not clear about how to do it. It may be reg40 bit6. I could not test yet as REG40 strangely reads 0x00 with i2cget. - Set GPIO0 and GPIO1 as ADC. GPIO0 function is REG 90H (see page 40 datasheet). GPIO1…

Good evening All. I was wondering what is the best method to use an Armbian sd card born for an H3 based board on another board with the same SoC, e.g. Orange Pi 2 image on Orange Pi Lite. With old 3.x kernel it was super easy, just replace the fex file and that's it. Overlays confuse me a fair bit, and the best method I found until now is to specify in armbianEnv.txt the row fdtfile=sun8i-h3-orangepi-lite.dtb to use a sdcard loaded with an Orange Pi 2 image in my Orange Pi Lite. But I cannot find where the board is defined, could anyone point me in the right direction? Best Regards. Christian

I recently bought an Odroid HC4 to use as NAS. I then installed the latest Armbian (kernel 5.10, so pretty current one) and zfs-dkms (2.0.3-1, from backports - so again should be pretty current). I can now create ZFS pools from my attached HDDs (currently just one - may mirror later). Great... except I want them encrypted and performance is BAD. Like 40 to 70MB/s when copying via Samba (depending on which cypher I create the dataset with, no compression or deduplication) and CPU pegged at 100% bad. I was honestly surprised by this, considering the S905X3 is supposed to have hardware crypto acceleration (and cryptsetup benchmark shows results more in line with …
