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 ?

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. Technical specs of TV-Box: Amlogic S905X3…

Hi, I'm using Armbian 21.08.6 Bullseye on an Odroid HC2 (http://ix.io/3JUu). I set up tgt (Linux iSCSI) and everything works fine (clients can access the targets).

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 there, Xunlong seller says max size of uSD is 32GB. But I have seen thread posts that mention 128GB. So my question is: what is the max uSD card size with RK3399?

Hello, I just started a new SD card with 21.02.3 Buster on a OrangePi PC+. In armbian-config I can't install on eMMC: it says nand-sata-install: command not found. thanks Mathieu http://ix.io/2UhB

I want the default resolution of my board to be 1280x1080 after power on, and by default my sound output is through HDMI. Please give me some advice, Thanks.

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. 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 …

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!

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

Hello, I'm trying to get a new board working using Armbian. I'm currently working from my GIT repo so I cloned armbian/build and u-boot/u-boot I added them to the compile.sh script by using userpatches/lib.conf overrides. I added the DTS file of the board, defconfig and modified the Makefile as it can be seen on this commit On the board config side, I set: BOOTCONFIG="fly_gemini_defconfig" The image is built successfully but the board doesn't boot because the DTB file isn't present in /boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-h5-fly-gemini.dtb I looked in output/debug files but I didn't found any error What did I miss ? …

Hi forum members, since I'm playing with the use of onewire sensos, I came up with the question to use more than one GPIO-pin for the onewire protocol. Is it possible to configure multiple GPIO-pins that the output of: cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio shows more than one onewire gpio pin ? If YES, how can I find the connected sensors under the /sys/bus/ structure? Tanks in advance wollik

Good day. Yesterday I downloaded the latest Armbian version for the ASUS Tinker Board S and flashed the built-in eMMC (with Etcher Balena). The software works fine, but - the SD card is not mounted as mass storage, the file manager THUNAR does not recognize it. also lsusb does not recognize it. - a plugged USB- flash-stick is not mounted by the file manager THUNAR, although lsusb lists it.

Hi! I have Orange Pi Pc Plus and Armbian based on Linux 5.8.11-trunk which successfully loads with any U-Boot taken from official Armbian distro.

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? …

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?

I just released Armbian Focal Desktop MAINLINE images for Khadas VIM3 Pro. These are individually, pure arm64 and hybrid arm64/armhf variations.

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.

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 ?

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?

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.

Hello I am trying to build a driver for a PineCube. The driver is Cedar_Ve.ko. Unfortnately I'm running in to problems either building the driver or deploying it. I have tried 3 approaches, but not work. 1) I downloaded the source for the kerenl 5.10.6 which I'm using from here: https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/armbian-apt/pool/main/l/linux-source-5.10.60-current-sunxi/ and built it using the following commands: make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- sunxi_defconfig make LOCALVERSION="-sunxi" ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- zImage modules dtbs I then cloned the source for the Cedar driver from here https://github.com/uboborov/sunxi-…

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 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.

I am using orangepi zero LTS board I have seen this happen with both Armbian_21.08.1_Orangepizero_focal_current_5.10.60.img and Armbian_21.08.1_Orangepizero_buster_current_5.10.60.img images, although this problem seemingly solved itself randomly in the focal version. I am not sure what is up with that, I am currently testing on the buster version. I am using the serial console for controlling the board (ttyS0) I have already downloaded "Desktop with browser and softwares" from armbian-config -> System After this the menu item changes to armbian-config -> System -> Enable Desktop If I go to this menu item, it askes …

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. It worked on the first try, and displayed the console on the LCD screen. 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. I started following other tutorials to try and …

Hello everyone, I have not been able to make the OrangePi +2E (with Armbian Bullseye) of which I present the ix.io that can be seen from the lines 605 to 636, in which the dmesg seems to reject the ADALM PLUTO. I have another device with Armbian Buster, this one is a pcDuino4 nano fully compatible with the OPi One image in which the result is exactly the same. Not that I am an expert, I first contacted Travis from Analog Devices but he asked me if there is any special flag on the USB nodes in the device tree? But I haven't touched it, so I thought I'd come to consult you here. I hope you can help me, Thank you very much, Regards VH PD: here (https:/…

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? The LCD I need to use …

I have a allwinner A64 tablet, with Android 8, magisk root and bootloader unlocked. I need help to install or run Linux on it, but I have no idea how to get started or if it's even possible to do that.

Dear all, on my ODROID-HC2 Armbian Bullseye installation there is a script /usr/bin/wireguard-manager and I'm curious what this is about at all. In my opinion only wireguard-tools is "ok" to setup a wireguard VPN configuration but no "wireguard" package or such a script which installs a bunch of stuff and weird things. Unfortunately I was new to wireguard and this was my 1st configuration and setup I did. I discovered the mentioned script and executed "wireguard-manager --help" which against my expectation started an installation of different stuff. I didn't cancel this because I was afraid in ending in half-baked misconfigured states. It did "apt …

Hi all, I'm looking for an sbc with low power consumption, but still able to run linux (arduino like solutions are somewhat unflexible, and take longer to configure). Basically it should be able to do rs232 and be able to store data to an sd card. It should be able to run approximately two weeks on batteries. Wifi/ethernet/hdmi are not required if there is a way to use a serial console (apart from the extra rs232 which is connected to our measuring device). I already own a banana pi (original) and raspberry pi zero (apart from other boards which draw much more power). Are there any boards I could check out that have significantly lower power u…

Hello, i want to use ssh public key over wireguard vpn to do an automatic backup of my nextcloud instance running on an debian 11 x86 pc. I recently updated my neo 3 to bullseye (device is client). Copied my public key with ssh-copy-id command but get propted an password authentication when try to login. Tried the buster image, but same problem sshd config is the delivered one with the image. Is there anything special with armbian? With my pi 4 and raspberry os (1. backup device) everything is working.

Hello community, when I SSH into my ODROID-HC2 I get the nice coloured MOTD which I really like. Question 1) I found the configuration file /etc/default/armbian-motd and the directory /etc/update-motd.d and after reading the bash code I lack in understanding why some information lines are suppressed in the MOTD banner when the scripts get executed. For example: I would expect to see some net traffic stats because /etc/default/armbian-motd uses the default setting PRIMARY_DIRECTION="rx" and the package "vnstat" is installed and "vnstat -i eth0" return correct output. I also tried changing PRIMARY_DIRECTION line to ="both" but I don't get any…

Hi all, can anyone explain to me how the boot process of an ODROID-HC2 looks in detail, please? for example, my microSD card is /dev/mmcblk1 and it contains only one partition /dev/mmcbl1p1. Questions: a) I think the ODROID-HC2 can exclusively boot from a microSD card, is this correct? Without sdCard the boot process is not possible, right? b) where exactly sits the bootloader? is it in a certain sector of the microSD card and if so where exactly and how long? or does the ODROID-HC2 trying to read at specific addresses and if so where? c) can u-boot only process the first partition of the block device or would it be theoretica…

Hello, I am using armbian now for some time as a smb server on my Orange Pi 3. It's working but I am not really happy with the performance. I only get write speeds up to 30-40 MB/s. On netdata I saw that the cpu utilization is very unstable. The writing speed on the hdd is also not constant and oscillating like the cpu utilization. Does anybody have a clue why I have this oscillating cpu utilization and the low samba performance? Are there any tweaks to improve the performance?

Hello. Some time ago I worked with an LCD display with st7735 driver on my orange pi zero and the kernel 4.19y. I make it work very good following many instructions found in web pages (like this: https://www.instructables.com/Orange-Pi-Zero-Connect-TFT-SPI-ST7735/). But now is not possible to find any image with this kernel in the official download page and, with the new kernel that method does not work when y try to use the modprobe fbtft_device. I've been looking for possible solutions in order to make it work but usually I fail because language is very technical, my knowledge about drivers is superficial and English is not my native language: …

Hello all, I am unsuccessful in setting up FDE (Full-Disk-Encryption) on an ODROID HC-2. This device has no display output and I have no clue if and how it's possible to debug the boot issue. The boot is done through the micro-SD card and I can mount the micro-SD card successfully on any other host for insight. Is there any known trick how to see what fails during the boot process? How can I do this?

We have all seen the recent release announcement of Armbian 21.08 which now includes a beta release of Debian 11 (Bullseye). I have a RockPro64 (Rockchip 3399) that is currently running Debian 10 (Buster) that I would like to upgrade, so that it gets the latest packages from Debian and continues to receive security patches. I am tempted to just upgrade it by editing /etc/apt/sources.list and pulling the latest packages (the debian way), but I wondered if there is a safer way to perform the upgrade. Has anyone else upgraded a Debian based Armbain system that way. Are there any issues to watch out for? What customisations are there in Arm…

I have a Pinebook Pro and installed Focal xfce on its eMMC. I would like to swith to i3. So I have installed `i3`, `i3status` and `i3lock` using apt. Then I have altered the `user-session` config of lightdm from `xfce` to `i3` (actually did this at three places). With all this done, I still end up in XFCE. Hints on where to look further are welcome.

This Android device uses a Linux4.4 kernel. Considering that my nanopc-T3 lacks the functions required by a higher version of Linux, I would like to transplant the 4.14 version of Linux to this Android device at most without the bootloader source code. What's interesting about the device tree? It seems that the kernel provided by the device manufacturer includes some device drivers that are not included in the Linux kernel nativery. will cross-version compilation be a problem? https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_motorola_msm8998

Hi, I'm trying to generate a U-Boot for my OrangePi Plus board (H3). I'm using the Denx 2021.10 release and have tried the standard defconfig for this board and also variations of this config. Starting the kernel is fine but the kernel crashes/hangs when starting if I'm using HYP (nonsec) mode. Starting in sec mode works but this only enables one of the four CPU cores. The kernel crash/hang occurs while executing "udevadm trigger --action=add" but I can't determine exactly what is being enabled when the error occurs. Trying different kernels (including the Armbian 5.10 version) show no difference. The Armbian U-Boot (2021-10 dated August 2…

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
