Hi, i want to try the Gnome on Armbian with my Raspberry Setup. Pi5 with Touchdisplay2. The Display is working but without touch input. I looked through the /boot/firmware/config.txt and everything looks fine. I also tried to run Gnome on Xorg. Has someone a hint for me?

Ubuntu changed the location of the mini.iso file for the minimal Ubuntu (Server?) installer in their file servers (since the 20.04 release), it's now located here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/installer-amd64/current/legacy-images/netboot/mini.iso The docs should be changed since it could be confusing for new users/developers.

Hallo After apt-get upgrade my pi-hole and transmission is not working. Both running and I can see it when type htop. But I cant use web interfaces. It is without graphic.

Hi, I just got the Banana Pi M2 zero board and am wondering if the analog sound output pins are accessible so I can connect headphone / speaker to it? thanks!

Long story short, I accidentally removed all the contents of the /boot folder 😢. I'm running minimal Armbian 24.5.1 Bookworm with Linux 6.1.43-vendor-rk35xx on Orange pi 5 plus. It all started with a failed apt update indicating there wasn't enough space in the boot partition. The update was trying to install 6.1.75-vendor-rk35xx kernel, so I decided to remove the old one from the boot to free up some space. Instead, I accidentally applied 'rm -r' to the entire /boot folder. My SBC is working fine now, but I'm afraid it won't boot on next restart, so I'm looking for a way to recover the files. So far, I performed apt upgrade, which put the new…

Hello all, I succeed to boot on sata usb by seting the UUID of the armbian_root from mmcblk1p1 to sda1 I tested several M2 SSD enclosures both NVME and NGFF most of the time, one in the middle, has a USB Hub and micro SDCARD port. Now if the USB enclosures is not connected, we are stuck in initramfs stage because the UIID partition given in /boot/ArmbianEnv.txt does not exist. I changed the UUID of emmc armbian_root (mmcblk1p1) thinking it would be overmapped with partition of S2 usb enclosure (sda1). It is not the case, it will only boot on emmc , ignoring S2 enclosures when mmcblk1p1 and sda1 shares the same UUID. …

Hi, I want to apply some changes to default camera driver (ov5640) to get 60-90FPS, so I just need to change same initialization values in .c file. Now, I compile a whole armbian after patching the .c file to get driver (.ko file). Is there quicker way to obtain the driver without compiling a whole armbian (just get .ko file)?

For a project, I need the Linux desktop to be set to 16 bits per pixel. I can't find any documentation about how to do this on the mainline kernel. Anyone?

I'm trying to use bsp kernel from vendor which 3.10 on latest mainline u-boot for a64 sunxi boards.

So I'm seeing this up as a media device for my aunt who has nothing but an old crt TV. So I tried h3droid for user ease, but it's not near stable enough and crashes whenever anything is running any load on the cpu. Retro orange pi gives her a desktop and easy interface for watching movies/tv shows and playing old games. The problem I'm running into is I can't get any media file to play. I get sound but no visuals on Kodi and VLC I've tried converting the files from mkv to MP4, I've tried changing codecs h.264->h.265. I don't know what to do because she will never understand/use a command prompt so I wanted to hook her up with something easy.

I am looking to build a stable applicance that is updateable on demand / over-the-air in an atomic way. Ideally, it uses a dual-partition setup, where the is an active rootfs and an inactive one. On update, a new rootfs is streamed directly to the inactive partition, the device reboots to the new rootfs and - if everything runs according to plan - the new rootfs is committed as the new active one. If the reboot fails, the device reverts to the previous (still active) rootfs. This functionality is very common with embedded devices, many using the Yocto project. I'd like to try to use Armbian, however, building the image from source with my own userpatches and i…

Hi, I'm not sure if Debian mainline supports this, but I can't get TV out on this board working after it starts the kernel. The boot loader shows up, but as soon as the message "starting kernel" or something, pops up, the signal cuts out. I've tried changing the boot.cmd, but it doesn't make much difference. I've seen suggestions to break into the u-boot console, but the keyboard doesn't work there. I'm afraid it works only in serial mode. Any ideas? Thanks!

I try to use the pwm from GPIO to PWM control a fan. I would need around 20kHz with a variable duty cycle. As far as I understand I need to activate the pwm overlay, but its only available for the h5. Can I change the UART or I2C overlay to achieve this or should I try to write my own overlay? Is that even doable?

Using my Orange Pi Zero 512 H2 I want wo build a POE-powered display, displaying the current time, time until the bus leaves and ideally some information on bus schedules I can pull from the API of the local bus network. What I currently have is an Orange Pi Zero 512 H2 and a POE injector where I can insert any voltage as it does not run with standard POE voltage. My plan is to buy this e-paper display https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/7.5inch_e-Paper_HAT_(B) and have the Orange Pi display a simple HTML page. So my first question is: Would this display run, would it be a good choice for my setup? Are there any similar projects (yes, I searched) that…

I can run spi with the code below. But I have to communicate with too many slaves on the same line.

So I will use software CS, not …

It seems my OrangePi Prime was loosing stability over the years. It was working fine initially, then it was hanging up from time to time - and now it no longer can boot on stock armbian settings. It bootloops on "Starting kernel ..." in serial console. But when I set voltage to 1.3v in armbianEnv.txt - it booted ok. So it seems to be a hardware issue. Does anyone know if there is CPU VDD test point somewhere, or which regulator is responsible for CPU voltage?

Greetings, Apologies for the naive question - I'm no linux expert. I've just set up the latest focal on a r4s. I can login on both the wan and the lan interfaces. On the wan side, I have address:192.168.1.2/24 gateway:192.168.1.1 and dns:1.1.1.1, on the lan side I have 192.168.0.1/24. From a server on the lan side I am able ping both of the r4s interfaces, but I am unable to ping the gateway 192.168.1.1. I am also unable to do an 'apt update' on the lan side server as it is unable to connect to ubuntu etc. I used nmtui to set up the r4s and I couldn't find any additional information on setting up packet flow between interfac…

Something is overwriting /boot/armbianEnv.txt every now and then. Is it a feature or a bug ? Which other files are affected ? Two OrangePi Lite have the same symptom I am building a startup script to rewrite the file, if it has been corrupted until there gets a better solution.

Hi, My Nanopi M4V2 runs perfectly on Buster. The Nanopi runs stable and I don't have any issues for my use-case. It runs 24/7 and is only accessible through Wireguard. On the website from Debian it says that there are no security updates anymore for Buster. Does this also apply to the Armbian version? Of could I just keep running Buster if I keep kernel and software up-to-date? https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/ Thanks for the help, Lennyz

Good morning, I'm triying to move to armbian for tinker. Currently i'm using Debian Distro from Asus for tinkerboard and i want to move to a CLI only OS. Armbian seems to be the best option for what i want, but currently i'm unable to use the GPIO pins on the tinkerboard2. I tried to install wiringpi from here (https://github.com/TinkerBoard/gpio_lib_c/tree/sbc/tinkerboard/c) but i always recieve an error code. Anyone facing this problem? Any help will be very much appreciated, i really want to move to a non-GUI OS, but asus does't offer any option besides uninstalling X-10 GUI Thank you for your time

Hi, I'm trying to build an image on Windows. But when running compile.sh, I get the following error: [💲|💥] Problem detected [ WSL2 Terminal does not support UTF-8 ] Full log: https://paste.armbian.com/zopitumatu I don't know why this is happening, I've tried both cmd, powershell 5, powershell 7, all with the same result. The log mentions the Windows Terminal in the Microsoft Store should support it, but that already is installed and seems to just open the same Powershell 5, with the same error. Any idea on how to fix this?

Hi! I would like to know if there is a way at the startup to load new uboot / system to sdcard or spi flash. The fact is for DIY waterproof system, it's hard to remove sdcard, sometimes OPi isn't close of my computer. Idealy i would like TFTP / serial upgrade like openwrt router. Maybe it's impossible since TFTP upgrade need to download before image to ram, check it and burn it. With OP PC we have 1G ram to store image before write it on sdcard... Any idea? thanks

Have been struggling to install Armbian on Firefly rk3399 - did try many images from armbian.com/firefly-rk3399 with no luck at all.

Thought it had something to do with u-boot and partitions. I did always stop on starting kernel ... with some prior errors. Will try to install newer images for the sake of curiosity :-) Btw. have donated to the Armbian project twice - not so much, but some amount - as people should do. This is the serial out…

According to this, to run u-boot from flash I just need latest u-boot, apply patch from the link (CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS=1), copy config to .config, build it, flash it to SPI and it should work?

Hello all, Im new to Armbian and sbc's. I have a OPi Z+2 and NPi Neo Air and they are both being used for the same purpose, will use 2x UART and I2C.

Thanks for any advice. Chris

Hi! In armbian-config there's a choice to move system files from SD to HDD (or some other media). Is there a possibility to "revert" that - so that after "the action" the system would be read from the SD card again? Thanks for all your time and best wishes, Damjan

Hello! I have a stash of OPi H3 boards and it just occurred to me that there's no way to interface them with a storage device in any decent way. What am I missing here??? I also have a lot of 100 GB SATA SSD's, and I thought to myself, wouldn't it be great if each SBC could have its own SSD. But then I realized... how the hell am I going to get any kind of decent IO? If it's not possible with SSD's connected locally, let's forget them and then think, what other storage device can I use so that my OPi boards have some respectable IO device to work with? Please tell me where the gap in my understanding is?! Thanks!

Hi, Could anyone please help me to configure CB3 and the subboard RAID? In fact, I own a CB3 and the RAID subboard with two SSD 120GB that I bought at Cubietech three years ago and I have already assembled it. I use the Armbian distribution for Cubietruck and I installed it on a SD Card, but now I would like to install this distribution (Armbian for CB3) on the two SSD from the SD card. If I type the following commands 'hwinfo --block' or 'fdisk -l' or 'lsusb' or 'lsblk -o name' at the prompt (as root), I do not see any SSD except the SD Card (mmcblk0) I also launched 'armbian-config' but nothing appear in the menu about that. I have done some onl…

Hello. I am a real newbie at Linux and so I really need your help. I set up a new odroid N2+ with Open Media Vault, and it doesn't show anything. I'm assuming that the id/password I used wasn't the admin id/password. So, I used Putty to get into my new machine, and I used the following to change the password of "root": root@odroidn2:~# passwd root New password: Retype new password: passwd: password updated successfully root@odroidn2:~# exit However, I couldn't sign in to OMV with that id:root and the password that I just changed it to. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? (Please excuse the basic ignorance of this quest…

Hello everyone, I recently purchased an ili9488 touch screen for use with my Orange Pi 5, but I'm having trouble getting it to work. I've tried several solutions that I found online, but so far nothing has worked. Specifically, the screen isn't displaying any output when I connect it to my Orange Pi 5, and I'm not sure what steps to take next. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EQaN4gj - That is the screen I bought. For context,I have the latest version of the Armbian operating system installed. I've followed the instructions that came with the touch screen, and I've also tried several different solutions that I found online (including using the fbset …

I cant use the number keys on my keyboard to type in 1234 as the manual says. I can only type in "root" at the login but I cant type anything in the password section.

Hi, I tried your Debian/minimal/IOT for NanoPi 5RC, it's great, I would like to use it. However the RTL8822CE driver only exposes wlan0 and there are no parameters to set, and I need two wlans. For reference there are two wlans available in the core debian image from FriendlyARM/ELEC. Best regards.

Was on the edge vendor kernel and now swapped to 6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx And i just cant seem to get full hardware functionality with Jellyfin, Specifically tone mapping and subtitle burning crash. Atleast the tone mapping seems to be a lack of /dev/mali0 Is there a kernal or version that has all the drivers / firmware support for a fully jellyfin use? Sorry if I'm mincing words.

The new Orange Pi 4 Pro image connects to Bluetooth keyboards perfectly, but typing doesn't work because uinput is completely missing from the 6.6.98-vendor-sun60iw2 kernel config.

Since most of the wireless engineering products are using RT3070 and RT5370 wireless network card, you can join the armbian driver!

Dear Friends, I am new on this forum. I wonder to know that: - if sun8i-h3 supporting to flashing a HY27UG088G Nand flash over FEL mode? - how to add nand flash driver to mount nand flash in uboot? I really appreciate your response. Thank you and best regards!

Since some H2 and H3's run hotter than some people would like, and people are measuring voltages etc I thought I'd make the following warnings for your benefit in the hope that we collect quality data and solve all challenges quickly. Measuring voltage accurately Your DMM (digital multimeter) may lie to you. Measure the input voltage as well as the test voltages before posting voltage readings. Check with the resistance setting that the resistance of your probes touching each other is close to 0 ohms. I own many DMM's and one of them reports horribly inaccurate voltages when the 9v battery is near or less than 8v. If your DMM sucks, buy a better one (link at botto…

Orangepi released some new images für SBCs based on the H6 SoC shipped with 4.9 Linux kernel. Did anyone test these yet and got some first impressions? http://www.orangepi.org/orangepibbsen/forum.php?mod=viewthread&amp;tid=4214&amp;extra=

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

Hi, Unfortunately I'm not yet allowed to post in the development area. I'm using a rockpro64 with armbian quite successfully, Beside other stuff it has two DVB-C USB sticks connected. But I can only run the kernel dpkg -l | grep linux-image hi linux-image-rockchip64 5.75 arm64 Linux kernel, version 4.4.174-rockchip64 since further 4.4 kernel (e.g the latest one linux-image-rockchip64_5.90_arm64 (4.4.182) does not have the CONFIG_VIDEO_EM28XX set to m as before. What are actually the plans in this regard. Is there some good reason that is was disable…

Hi, I have Orange Pi zero, it runs while loop all time (RF Reader) and it has Flask Web Server which runs all the time. My Orange Pi Zero has 85 degree Temp. It is in the box, I wonder, what if i let device run with this temp, What happens? What about orange pi life span?

Not sure if this is considered an appropriate request for the Armbian forum, but I'll give it a try. New installation of Buster server 4.19.62-sunxi on OPiZero 512MB, with 32GB SanDisk A1 card. I installed CUPS (and Samba) via armbian-config, added myself to lpadmin; I can access the web interface. "Add printer" sees my Brother HL-2270DW on wifi, but no matter how I add the printer, I get one of a variety of errors when attempting to print a test page. CUPS finds and installs the printer at dnssd://Brother%20HL-2270DW%20series._ipp._tcp.local/ but when I print a test page, CUPS says it can't find the printer. So I change the URI to the printer's IP address on m…

Hello, I am looking for a way to create an FTP server in my tvbox, where I can create several users with their respective folders to save files and connect from a PC

Hi folks, i was running Openmediavault 5 on an BananaPi M1 with Amrbian Buster for years and it worked all fine. Now i "upgraded" to an M2U because of the RAM and real Sata support. I installed the newest stable buster image 20.08 (also tried old ones and the nightly) because OMV does not support bullseye yet. After this, i just did "apt update" and "apt install armbian-config". I have choosen in softy the OMV setup. I also tried it again with the OMV install script for Armbian. In both cases i couldn't install it. I waited with softy almost 24h to install it, but it got stuck (no cpu usage, nothing happens). …

I'm trying to get the orange pi lite 2 to work with a desktop image, but the images i find on the armbian site are server only (no interface). If possible, i'd like some help with choosing an actual desktop image that has a compatible working kernel for this board. Can anyone point out a specific version or provide a download link? if so, thanks.

Hello, I've been playing on my Raspberry Pi 3B+ with an I2S audio amplifier and could play music from it. Now I want to add more devices to experiment with multi-room systems. The only other system with I2S support I have here is a NanoPi NEO. It has dedicated I2S pins so that shouldn't be too complicated. I thought. But it doesn't work. 'aplay -l' says "no soundcards found" and 'speaker-test -c2' essentially says the same. 'armbian-config' doesn't have a switch to enable I2S, only SPDIF, which sounds plausible considering that the SPDIF pin is multipurpose while the I2S pins are not. A web search for several terms didn't bring up something useful.…

Hey all, So recently I got myself an Orange Pi Prime so I could attempt to do some SPI flashing through spidev and flashrom. I have been going at it, set up the board, got an actually decent power supply, and set up everything. Eventually I got myself into the steps of setting up the pins for spi use. At first, I used armbian-config to enable the spidev into /boot/armbianEnv.txt then I added param_spidev_spi_bus=0 into armbianEnv.txt I rebooted and the spi device file still doesn't show up, any ideas? I have: went through armbian-config (System -> Hardware -> spi-spidev) added param_spidev_spi_bus=0 to armbianEnv.txt …

Hello, i installed Armbian 23.8 on my ROCKPI E. When i put a LAN cable into END0, everything is quiet, no leds are glowing. END1 works normal. I used nmtui and tried to activate it. Do i have to add somewhere end0? is this port not automaticly configured? thank you

Hi all, apologies I know this isn't the correct forum to post,but, I have a question regarding the armbian build process for a raspi5b , but unfortunately I can't post in the correct forum because It requires the url of my build log which I don't know the location of - anyone here know where that is ?

Hello there, I am looking a way to get / write a script for the file to be run on startup. I am running PiAware with dump1090-fa installed. I would like to having the view1090-fa --modeac to be auto run when the system is ON. Is there a way to get this work without my concern in the future? Currently if I need to run this command, I need to run SSH and remote the Pi to run this command from my PC. Thank you in advance. Regards, SaiHou

Apologies, the links on how to change the Armbian boot kernel don't lead to any documentation. I am wading through the u-boot documentation tree now, but somebody may have an answer to a simple question. I manage to make my device unbootable by using armbian-config and selecting a development kernel vmlinuz-4.20.0-rockchip64 I have mounted the disk on a ubuntu laptop and I take it u-boot is similar to grub2 in that its not just a case of changing the symlinks Image -> vmlinuz-4.4.167-rockchip64 Uinitrd -> uInitrd-4.4.167-rockchip64 you have to do a grub2-mkconfig command \ grub-update in order to boot strap t…

Hello, According to the changelogs on https://docs.armbian.com/Release_Changelog/, the 20.08 version on September upgrade the EspressoBin to the Kernel 5.6 and the next version 20.08.3 it was updated to the 5.8 kernel. When I go to the archives for the Espressobin (https://archive.armbian.com/espressobin/archive/) I cannot find the 5.6 version. Is there any reasons for that or is a missing link? Kind regards, Fernando

Hi, I have an OrangePi_4b (RK3399), mounted in aluminum case, in which I am going to install armbian. I also have a mini-double fan that I want to attach to the outside of the box, to cool it. The approximate power consumption of this mini fan is 300 mA. According to the orange pi 4b manual, I find these Gpio: PIN1 VCC3V3_SYS PIN2 VCC5V0_SYS PIN4 VCC5V0_SYS The questions (to whoever can answer or has experiences) are: For those pins respectively, what is the maximum consumption per pin, measured in milliamps? Is it feasible to connect the mini-fan to Gpio (V + GND)? If possible I am thinking both 5V (pin2 and pin4) an…

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.
