Hello everyone, I have been searching on the net trying to find a way to activate 3d acceleration since i want to use Jellyfin on my orange pi 5. After searching I found the option for ubuntu but not for bullseye, unfortunately I'm using bullseye due to OMV which won't work on ubuntu to use for my media server. Is there any way to turn on the 3d acceleration on Debian? I mean it should be possible since technically Ubuntu is based on Debian. but i was wondering if there are any steps that I need to follow.

Hello all, I wanted to start using the camera on my RockPI 4B today, but unfortunately I can't find an entry for it under "armbian-config" and under "boot/config*" I personally can't clearly identify the setting/parameter for it. Can you please help me with this? That would be very helpful for me, thank you. Kind regards Z. Matthias

Hi. Instruction and dts on https://github.com/hbars/BPI-M2-Ultra-Berry-i2c-enable

Hi! I'm sorry, didn't noticed I had posted in wrong section, so here we go again! I'm trying to activate X11 hardware acceleration on this board. It's running an RT PREEMPT Kernel from the project AllwinCNC which aim to run linuxcnc software using ARISC core to generate steps in realtime. Unfortunately, I'm getting very bad performance in X11 with lima driver. It seems to be running on software and not the lima driver itself and I'd like to know if it is possible to have the graphics acceleration done in hardware instead. CPU usage is going to 100% and it is resulting in errors on the aforementioned CNC controller software due to this. BOARD: Oran…

In the latest image for NanoPi M1 Plus, I enable the analog audio I/O on the card by adding overlays=analog-codec in /boot/armbianEnv.txt But the microphone on the card is disabled by default, because the ALSA control "Mic1 Playback Switch" is set to false by default on the card. Worse still, this mixer control does not appear in the alsamixer GUI, and the only way to set to true is to use the amixer command line utility, for example with: amixer cset name="Mixer Capture Switch" on on I can do this inside a first boot script, and then ALSA will persist the state between reboots. But does not seem ideal, and took me a very long time to …

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…

How is it possible to add the second wireless interface bound to the same physical WiFi adapter? This question is brought up from the following thread : http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/1346-howto-create-software-wireless-access-point/ This was already discussed. I and Igor disabled second interface in Makefile before building it, because it is confusing for most users (at least from my point of view). Talking how to rebuild driver with this option enabled is off topic... --- I am running Armbian on OPI+ and BPI.

Hi all, SPI has been enabled into /boot/armbianEnv.txt with: overlays=spi-spidev param_spidev_spi_bus=0 Nothing works knowing that the wiring between device and BPI has been checked more than 3 time. How can I check that SPI0 works well? where can I check that dtd file is correctly loaded? What are created files on fs when the spi port is correctly enabled? ==> Armbian 21.05.1 Focal with Linux 5.15.48-sunxi Many thanks

How to "Enable switch user and Login Welcome in gui?"

I am trying to make a pair of scripts, guiup & guidown, that will disable/enable the gui at boot and start/stop it now.

Systemctl disable does work, but then when I enable it again and reboot, lightdm does not come up.

I am running Armbian 23.05.01 bookworm, release 12, on a Libre Renegade (ROC-RK3329-CC) I installed RDP from Armbian config. Seems to have installed. I've shutdown, restarted several times. First I get a black screen on my Windows PC Then the screen turns turq and I see this error: When I click the OK I see this dialog: I've tried every one of those options and none work. I've tried them from my created user and also with root - no joy. I get an error like this: I posted here, not knowing exactly where to start. Dan Reynolds

hey all! i want to create my own armbian image to burn to many devices it seems it would be smart to re-enable the firstrun to run the next time the os boots up (i.e. inside another Orange Pi) is the correct way to do this: systemctl enable firstrun ? Id like to: expand the partition set a random mac address create any keys p.s. sorry for multiple error posts.

Hey. I'm working on an olimex A13-SOM board that is connected to some pcb board, that has a 4.3" lcd with capacitive touch panel connected to it. After a looong while, I've finaly managed to get the touch panel to work. Hooray. The display itself actually worked right away without me having to do anything...... well... almost. The display is initially off, so I have to run the 3 following commands, to turn it on: echo 35 > /sys/class/gpio/export echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio35/direction echo 5 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio35/value After that the display works just fine.

I'm trying to setup k3s on a raspberry pi 5, and I can't seem to get the cgroup enabled on the kernel. I edited the /boot/armbianEnv.txt file adding: extraargs=cgroup_memory=1 cgroup_enable=memory and when i cat /proc/cmdline or /proc/cgroup it doesn't seem to be enabled and I don't see the edits from the env file. Can anyone help? For context I'm trying to get k3s up and running on the a few raspberry pi 4s as nodes and a five as the master to the issues is currently on the 5. I'll be verifying I get the same results on the 4s tonight. Read through a bunch of posts but haven't found anything suggesting something other than editing that f…

Hello, Here is the end goal of what I am trying to achieve: I am using a rockpro64 and would like to be able to boot from SPI into a rootfs present on an encrypted hdd RAID. I tried building an image with root encryption enabled but apparently, has stated on the wiki, it is possible that no prompt will be shown during the boot process. This is exactly what is happening to me, the boot process halts without showing anyway of entering the passphrase. Is there a way to solve this issue ? Or to reach my goal with a different method ? Many thanks !!

In the past I used a lower end Sandisk's and used external flash drive with nand-sata-install to move system due to endurance. What is the status as of today? Are Sandisk Ultra A1's better than flash drives (i.e. not special "high endurance" ones). I need to ask because the installation is not easy to reach (another part of the city) and current problems may be because of flash failure (didn't get my hand on the devices yet). Any pointers will be much appreciated. PS: I found this today, very interesting read... https://www.delkin.com/technology/flash-endurance/

Hi folks, I'm new to the Armbian project. I have an old board (pcduino3nano) that I never managed to get working because I found the built in OS to be lacking and the general linksprite environment poor as compared to that of the RaspberryPi. So I put the pcduino away for awhile and never really got anywhere with it, but recently decided to give it a go again. I found two projects that claim to "officially" support this board (either current or past). Armbian and Fedora for Arm. Because Armbian has EOSd the pcduino family of boards I started with the Fedora project and found that it worked but only as a server/cli the GUI no matter which deskto…

Good evening! Is there anyone experience in installing the drivers for this device? The official website has the driver vga2usb-3.30.2.10-raspbian-4.4.11-v7+-arm.deb which apparently is rigidly attached to the core. Does anyone have any ideas on installation?

So I've got this 88SE9215 based board that is similar to the ones already posted except that it uses single SAS port instead of x4 SATA ports.

Hello! Really appreciating armbian having good notes on how to get up and running on a specific device. Thanks! I have these wifi cards, RTL8821AE.

Ethernet connection does not work solution in the topic "No IP address for Ethernet connection (Cubietruck-like board)" Image for Cubieboard2, Ethernet connection works, but then spdif optical does not work, only analog audio. I need an Ethernet connection and spdif optical, how can I enable it in the Cubieboard2 image? Thanks!

Hi I am referencing below from this closed thread: So currently I set up wifi through an initial ethernet connection, but the issue is when the wifi connection is successfully setup, that connection does not become active until ethernet is unplugged and board rebooted. Wifi is setup through nmcli...is there an option we are missing that is preventing both network interfaces from working simultaneously? currently just using "sudo nmcli dev wifi connect ssid password password"

So, back again. I keep seeing the ethernet connection dropped. When logging in by USB the login reports IP <blank> (see picture). I saw this previously (see full set of traumas here https://organicmonkeymotion.wordpress.com/category/orange-pi/). Happens now on freshly burnt image using Etcher. Ran for two days. The problem also manifested using an image burnt with WIN32DiskImager so we can discount any FS corruption assumptions - the Etcher burn reported no errors. Call it "Phantom Ethernet" in honour of Screaming Jeeby - that is the board is haunted wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…

g_ethernet worked great for a long time, then i updated the software on my destop and it is broken. it almost works but the host drops all the packets for some reason. am i the only one that is having this problem?

Hey fellas I have FOUR different armbian devices (one official armbian, three running ophub's armbian) which all seem to struggle with network throughput at high latency connections. It is not a cpu issue and this doesn't occur on x86 debian. Here's the odd thing. If I connect an ethernet usb dongle, like rtl8152b I get the full throughput even at high latency. What??? So it's a nic issue? I thought maybe the onboard ethernet isn't well supported by the kernel so I got a nanopi neo4 with onboard realtek gigabit running official armbian 6.12.3x ... AND it's slow too. Any onboard nic with armbian is slow in my tests. …

Hello ! I'm trying to make DuetSoftwareFirmware (software to control 3D printers boards using a SBC) working on a OrangePi4B using armbian (The software works well on raspberry pi 3 and 4). It use a SPI interface for data transfer between SBC and the board as well as an extra pin "data transfer ready". I use the pin 22 on the connector for "data transfer ready". This pin is mapped to GPIO1_D0. So GPIO pin number is 56 ( 1 * 32 + 3 * 8 + 0). For now, I'm getting errors because it seems like the pin can't be set into event mode. Below is the part of the source code (it can also be seen here) // Set up the pin gpioevent_request t…

Hi, currently I have armbian installed on an SD-Card with kernel 3.4.112-sun7i on Banana Pi. I'd like to test how armbian works installed on SATA with vanilla-kernel. Therefore I would install armbian (Vanilla) on SATA. Switching between both systems would then require a shutdown, exchange of SD-Card and startup the system again. Since i am a lazy person I'd like to know whether it is possible to use the SD-Card with 3.4.112 and just exchange the folder /boot with the one from the SD-Card I installed armbian-Vanilla on SATA (to avoid standing up, walking to the banana pi which is located in another room, exchanging the SD-Card, rebooting, walking back and sitting …

Hi guys, I backed up my sd content on a 32GB card using dd command with count argument. So I ended up with a 8GB image file to move to a 16GB card. How can I expand the filesystem on the 16GB card to fit its size after putting the 8GB image on it? Thanks!

Hello I am running a NanoPi M4 (kernel 4.4) with /boot on SD and / on an USB-attached disk. At the time I ran `nand-sata-install` ext4 seemed like a good choice. I want to snapshot the file system as a preparation step to backing up, so it looks like I have 2 choices now: 1. ext4 on LVM 2. btrfs -> Will 1. work with u-boot/armbian at all? Which solution is recommended? My guess is that btrfs would be the easiest, so the next question is -> can I go and a) `btrfs-convert /` b) update rootfs in armbianEnv.txt, or is there any other step involved? Regards -Patrick

Hi Guys, My current system has 128MB of SWAP area for RAM. I think it's located on SD card by default, however I have eMMC (8GB) on board. Is there any way to extend SWAP area to use this 8GB or less of eMMC which can be faster than SD card. Is there any way to extend SWAP area even on SD card on working system?

Its intresting that the same settings works perfectly on a Cubieboard2 A20 board. I also tried the Armbian bionic server and installed a light desktop from armbian-config and the display works! but the screen has a greenish tint. (and there is no script.bin file on a server version, so I cant compare to the xenial like…

I'm installed Armbian_23.02.2_Orangepi5_jammy_legacy_5.10.110_xfce_desktop to Orange Pi5. I have attached external RTC module with DS3231 on I2C5 (/dev/i2c-5) and try it. https://forum.armbian.com/topic/7349-rtc-ds3231-how-to-install-tinker-board-stretch-414/#comment-56094 (Instead of I2C-0, it was I2C-5.) However, the DS3231 does not recognize it. I type i2cdetect -y 5, it remains at 68 without becoming a UU. Is there any solution?

Hello. I have a question not directly related to Armbian, but to Linux in general. I just saw my problem fixed here and can't see how. I have most of my multimedia on samba share in my local home network. In Windows i am able to play videos from this share with directly loaded external subtitles (when available). But from Linux it's not that easy, when open share in file manager (double click). In some cases even video/music/pictures can't load from players with some incorrect path errors, but let's say this worked in most cases and focus on subtitles. For some reason when opening videos in Linux with file manager from samba share, only video loads, not the external subt…

Hey folks, I'm looking to build a little portable server to hold a local mirror of my cloud drive and run a light-duty testing server for medium-weight web apps (Django, big PHP blobs, etc). 2GB RAM, SATA support, and fanless are critical, USB 3.0 and GPIO ready to go with no soldering a big plus. I'm planning to get a 500GB SSD and use an Alfa AWUS036ACH 802.11ac USB dongle. Box will run headless except for configuration. I was looking at the EspressoBin but kernel support appears to still be incomplete and there isn't that big of a userbase. I also don't need two of the Ethernet ports on that board. I've looked around and it seems the combo of >1GB RAM + …

I know how to work with GPIO though the /sys interface, but that's not fast enough for my application. Is there a faster interface for working with GPIO on the H3, similar to the fast GPIO on the RPi. I believe fast GPIO on the RPi manipulates GPIO though a memory map interface. Is that possible with the H3. Has anyone done it?

I'm writing a wiegand protocol handler in a Linux Kernel Module for the NanoPi NEO (AllWinner H3). I have the code working, meaning the interrupt handlers for the D0 and D1 pins do in fact get called when I swipe a prox card. However, I'm missing usually about half or more of the 26 bits. The wiegand protocol is 26 pulses, each pulse 50uS wide, and separated by 2000us, so yeah it has to be fast. I've set the debounce value to zero using gpio_set_debounce(), so it's running as quickly as I can make it without patching Linux source. After doing some reading, I think I need to modify the device tree to make the default polling speed for GPIOA pins faster. Or…

I have spent the greater part of the day trying to get fbtft working on an ili9341 display on the nano pi neo with the legacy kernel. I have looked through the forum over and over and I cannot find out how the pins are numbered for fbtft.

I have done this many times on a raspberry pi, but cannot seem to get it to work on any of the H3 stuff. I saw in the forums that in the mainline kernel, there is a mathematical equation for pin numberings. I tried that as well, with no luck. I also tried giving the actual portp…

Hello everyone, I give you a 2017 discussion about a modified version of ffmpeg called Cedrus for H3 processors at 32bit.

The iso cannot be opened and the file is not written to the flash drive.

I am copying a folder from one drive to another. The transfer operation encounters duplicate files and ask me to Replace, Replace All, Skip, Skip All ,etc. Some of the files may be the same filename but different file-size (e.g., one is bigger than the other). If I choose Skip All, will Armbian Skip regardless of file-size? Or, if I select Skip All, will it show another message when it encounters same filename but different filesize?
