Hi, Appreciate any help on this :) Sorry if this is the wrong place for this. Problem: iiyama Prolite E2783QSU will not display resolution higher than 1080p on RockPro64, I'm sure it's supposed to go up to 4k Background: I've spent the last few days getting Armbian booting from NMVe which is all good and got Desktop up and running with MATE and over coming issues with brisk menu not working. I have other issues than this but will post separately for those. My Background: Last used Unix back in 1997, just 86ed Windows from my life, this is interesting but harder than I thought lol.

Hi So I have upgraded my system with `apt update && apt upgrade`. How do I rebuild ZFS DKMS for the latest kernel? I have tried dkms_autoinstaller but it does nothing. I uninstalled and re-installed zfs-dkms package and this worked, but there's gotta be a better way? Thanks! a

Having a hard time getting RTL8188EU WiFi dongle to work on orange pi pc 2. I’ve spent weeks trying to figure this out reading on the internet and a few posts on this forum. Tried installing several WiFi drivers including a few drivers from GitHub. The drivers appear to install successfully but when entering command $lshw, the device still shows as *-usb UNCLAIMED. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Armbian Community, I am trying to get the Coral/Google NPU (M.2 PCIe key) to work with the NanoPC-T4. Without success. I built Armbian with linux headers (5.4.48) and was able to apt install the gasket-dkms package. (The EdgeTPU requires Google's Gasket and Apex drivers to be built as modules with DKMS, and thus requires the linux headers to be installed at /usr/src). Also, there was no conflicting Gasket or Apex module in the Armbian release prior to install (an issue found by other EdgeTPU systems on other distros). My problem, I believe, has to do with the NanoPC-T4's PCIe. I have tried many different kernels (FriendlyElec's Core/Des…

Hello, More of an FYI for anyone else hitting the same issue. Booted my board up for the first time in a year or two, wifi working fine but then sudo update && sudo dist-upgrade && shutdown -r now Now wifi does not work on the new kernel 5.10. Seems the 8812au driver which has morphed into 88XXau but XX no longer includes 14. Instead there's a new driver git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8814au.git apt install build-essential linux-headers-current-rockchip64 ARCH=arm64 make dkms_install modprobe 8814au Now wifi works again

I am using a 32-bit orangepi plus 2E with debian. I get the following message: TOR BROWSER REQUIRES A CPU WITH SSE2 SUPPORT.

Just installed Armbian on a Rock Pi4 to run OMV as a nas. I have a desktop installed. Install went OK but I have a weird problem, the menu has a different language for some items. Items in the main menu that have sub-groups have the other language, not sure what it is, possibly Cyrillic, but the sub-groups are in English. So, for instance, under accessorioes, accessories is not english but everything in its pop-up menu is. I've set the locale and language to GB, I'm in the UK but the menu doesn';t change.

I downloaded the WIP armbian for Orange PI Zero. Everything seems fine that is until the wifi. Tried using nmtui. Doesn't work, can't find any network, even if I key it in. ls /sys/class/net No sign of wifi, ip link show no wifi. Tried to edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf nothing Edited /etc/network/interfaces nothing. Anyone here has any solution?

Hello, It's been more than two days working to solution. I have gone deep into the documentation and forum posts before asking this. Much of the information in this subforum is c 2017, and relates to /etc/init.d locations which are now obsolete, etc. Definitive assistance is much appreciated! I'm building clean Armbian-based images, for a number of unsupported desktop configurations on unsupported boards. These have been fantastically functional, I I'd like to make these available as community-supported releases. I do not expect such a hybrid configuration, despite using an Armbian kernel package, and an Armbian Focal base filesystem image, to ever be suppor…

Hallo, I hope the topic hasn't existed before .. I have an Bananpi M2+ as H5 (64bit). Good Images are OrangePi-PC2 or NanoPi K1 Plus. My problem is, no support of emmc. Are there any known compatible images for the Banana Pi M2 + H5 that work? The NanoPi K1 Plus has problems rebooting and recognizing a keyboard. The OranngeP PC2 works fine, but no emmc support. Thanks and Best wishes, Mahdi2006

Hi, I'm struggling to get sound with a PCM5102a module connected to I2S. I guess I've to make a dts-overlay to enable it on i2s0 but I didn't succeed, I'm very new to that. Could anyone tell me how to achieve that ? Many thanks for your help.

Hello, I own two odroid hc1 both run on armbian buster Kernel 4.14.222. With my second one I am experiencing something odd.

Hello. I have orange pi system with 3 USB-UART converters. After system boot i can find them in /dev as /dev/ttyUSB0, /dev/ttyUSB1, /dev/ttyUSB2. But after system reboot converters can be not at same positions. Is there any way to make first converter /dev/ttyUSB0, second /dev/ttyUSB1 etc. ?

Hi, I have a OLED display on OrangePi Zero H5. OLED is SSD1306 (128 x 64 pixel) and is detected with i2c scan. I used this library: https://github.com/codelectron/ssd1306 and it was working just fine. However, after some time (it is possible that it was after some update) OLED display stopped working - it is showing just random pixels. I checked soldering (it is OK), even replaced OLED with another one, but no luck.

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. (so basicly I enable the PB3 pin, change it's direction to out, and set …

I've got an orange pi pc plus camera board from aliexpress. But when I plug it into the orange pi and boot up armbian it doesn't work! It says on the cable: 2035-IPLAY.

Hello everyone. I've been struggling with the temperature of my Orange Pi Lite 2. Based on what I saw in the forums, undervolting might fix this issue. I know how to undervolt the CPU by editing script.bin, however, it seems that script.bin is deprecated and now I need to change the device tree. I looked into DTS config in armbian-config, I couldn't find any voltage related parameters. I need to edit something like the dvfs_table in script.bin. Does anyone know how I can edit the device tree in order to modify voltage values? Especially voltage-frequency values. Any help is much appreciated.

How do you un-suspend armbian? I typed many buttons on keyboard.

Hi all, Which branch or tag should I use if I'm willing to work on the latest stable linux version on Banana Pi M1 ? How do I choose between legacy / current / dev, and what are the differences between them ? Is there some guide that explain these issues ? If someone is willing to answer by giving an example, then lets assume I want to build from source kernel 5.10.32 on Banana Pi M1. Thanks in advance

Hello. I have a new Rockpi 4C. I am caming out crazy because I cannot understand some hardware issues. If I use the 5.10 kernel all hardware is working less the GPU. The images are bad and the lines swing everywhere. But the CPU is pretty cool and sometimes the heat-sink became hot, but not forever. The resolution is only the 1024 X 768!! The bluetooth, with the kernel 5.10, is perfectly working. With the magic Armbian-Config utility I installed the legacy kernel 4.4. I switched on that kernel and the GPU is perfect now and I am reading what I am writing. BUT: The bluetooth service is gone. Definitively! The USB ports are gone too!! There is only one usb port wo…

I'm trying to create a microSD card to boot Armbian, but first would be inserted into a Windows laptop to edit some configuration. To make the microSD show up in Windows, the first partition must be a FAT partition, and so Linux would be ext4 partion 2. I suspect I'll need to put the /boot partition on the FAT volume, with directions to load from mmcblk1p2. In case it matters, this is a Rock64 without emmc. I've just started this research, but I'd be grateful for any u-boot-savvy person's help here. Thanks.

Hi I've just downloaded Armbian_21.02.3_Rock64_buster_current_5.10.21.img.xz for my Rock64 and flashed the image to a microSD card using BalenaEtcher. Over the last couple of days I've been writing a menu based script that creates a shutdown script to spin down HDDs during the shutdown phase on Linux based SoC PC. The reason behind the script is to get around an apparent problem whereby HDDs are forcefully being shut off when SoC PCs power off. I have posted this problem myself on the Open Media Vault forums, I have come across it here on the Armbian forums, the ODROID forums and also the Stack Exchange forums. During my script development and test…

Hi there. I have some audio project on different SOM/SOC boards, now my task is to bring an i2s DAC on RK3399. I use external high-quality clock for i2s and need to make the Rockchip the masterclock slave. This is the case where I find no tail to pull yet, due to VERY cumbersome device tree, poorly documented and poorly explored. For instance, the CPU datasheet says that I2S_MCLK is output only, whilst I could find the opposite in the TRM. Moreover, the clock tree explained there, says that I can use CLKIN_I2S not only for i2s interfaces, but for spdif also! (Also there is explained some "bitclock slave mode", it's even implemented in the DAI driver,…

Hey. I'm trying to set up a 3.5" spi touch display with my orange pi zero +2 (H5). I've gotten the display to work - console is displaying fine, and the same with Xorg. However, getting the touch panel to work, seems quite difficult. (I tested it on a pi, so I know the hardware works). I've been running through all the threads I could find in here, regarding these setups, but I haven't been able to crack it. I have tried a lot of different variations of using spi-spidev, spi-add-cs1, customized spi-double-spidev, setting the param_spidev_spi_bus etc. I have a suspicion that something is off with the second cs channel, as this seems to be where I get my err…

I started debian buster up and it started running through the black screen with non-graphics (doing this, doing that), then it got to ARMBIAN DEBIAN TTY1: login ... password. Is there a default login and password for this? If not, then there is something wrong with my download though I checked to make sure it was debian for orangepiplus2e desktop, and it is. This iso worked in the past and i have it saved on my ext hdd. UPDATE: I checked the checksum that I created with the checksum document that downloaded with the .img, and they are the same. I used "cp filename.img /dev/sdx" to copy the img to an microsd using a media c…

Is there any distro out there that has 2D hardware accelerated graphics so you can get a decent desktop experience out of the N2? I've tried armbian and the distro that comes from Odroid, but all of them are sluggish. Maybe I have missed to select some options? I've "just" installed it and tried som different.. window managers? It's a bit confusing. I'm only going to use it for python and golang development in VS Code, maybe some arduino too, but it's unusable with non accelerated graphics. Chromium or Firefox needs to be usable too. I have a feeling there is some kind of 1 2 3 recipe I've missed like install armbian, select this window manager, install this p…

Hi, I realize that V3s is not H2 or H3, but I hope the question is generic. Is it possible to make the FB 16 bit? In mainline Linux? I'm working with a Lichee Pi board. The depth is 18 bits but the fb in Linux is 32 bit. I'd love to get it down to 16 bits to save 1/2 of the video memory and just 2 color bits are a small price to pay. I understand that Linux inherits the FB from u-boot.

Hello, I've an Orange Pi H3 board and I should use it on an old vga Acer 15" monitor. Usually with the other SBC and video outputs, I used the usual HDMI to VGA converters that doesn't have an external psu but seems to take the voltage from the 18 pin of the HDMI outputs. With this monitor that is indeed correctly identified by EDID on the adapter and on the Armbian o.s., the screen goes blank and return every few seconds randomly. I measured the PI One H3 pin 18 voltage and it gives out something like 4,6v to 4,8v and I think this might be the problem (?). I remember on the Rpi there was an option to boost the hdmi output and I suppose it increased that. Is there an…

Hi I was using my R4S with OpenWRT and with an Elekel WiFi AC dongle without any problem. Now, I've just installed the newest Armbian but I don't know how to use my WiFi dongle. Armbian-config doesn't recognize it ... probably because the driver is not installed. How can I install it? Best regards and thank you in advance

Hey. I'm working on setting up octoprint on my opi zero +2(H5), aiming at running octodash on a small 3.5" spi waveshare clone display. So far I've got the display working fine, as in showing the console text, and also working in xorg. However, I have a bit of trouble with the touch part. I've combed through the forum and followed the guides I could find, and have a fairly good working DTS file, however, I can't seem to get pin number 11 to work. In the overlay files, it seems to be named PA1, but I couldn't get that to work, and there were a bit of oddities with what pins seemed to be enabled, in relation to the various overlays. Howe…

Hello everyone. I'm using the latest version of armbian for the NanoPi R2S. I noticed that the board has 4 exposed GPIO ports on the board. I'm interested in using the RX1 and TX1 and use it for the UART interface. It seems I cannot use it. It might be disabled by default. Can somebody confirm or not if UART1 is enabled by default and if not what should I do to enable it ? Thanks Guillaume

I'm running the latest 5.10.21-sunxi kernel. I figured out how to use the PWM pin with the help of this post. I have an LED connected to the PWM pin and when I run for example: sudo sh -c "echo 250 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm0/duty_cycle" the LED updates instantly. But when I try to fade the LED with a script, the LED always takes 6 seconds to update. This is the script: #!/bin/bash #Export PWM channel for user control. sh -c "echo 0 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/export" #Select the period of PWM signal. Value is in nanoseconds. sh -c "echo 500 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm0/period" #Change the polarity of the PWM signal. #The …

How can I enable addons in chromium. The addons are greyed out.

I have one of these boards: http://www.orangepi.org/Orange%20Pi%20R1%20Plus/ https://photos.app.goo.gl/1otMwG4totvNbGo88 It's kept cool with a heatsink, and fan (30-35c). Currently, I'm running the orange pi supplied version of openwrt. It's a snapshot version, so the kernel isn't compatible with some packages. My question then is, is there a script out there that can transform armbian into a router, with a firewall, web interface, and easy to use? I'd like to give it a try if such a thing exists.

I burned a xz compressed image of Armbian Focal onto a good SD card using BalenaEtcher as instructed on the Armbian website. I placed it into my NanoPC T4 - which currently boots from the eMMC, and held the boot button while powering on. It tried to boot - but it kept reporting there was no bootloader file and seemed to be trying to load something from the internet, not the SD card. If I dont press the boot button, it simply ignores the SD card and boots from eMMC. I reburned the SD card several times, and each time it verified fine. Does anyone know what I did wrong?

Hey. I'm working on getting a small touch screen working on my OPiZ+2. It's a Waveshare 4.3 with a resistive touchpanel (using HDMI for displaying). I've had some issues getting the touch panel to work, and just wanted to share my findings, and ask whether I have misunderstood something. The waveshare wiki does provide a script for setting up the panel, but I think it's more aimed at a raspberry pi, and it didn't get the touch panel working. I manually added spi-spidev and spi-add-cs1 to to armbianEnv.txt. I also added the parameters: param_spidev_spi_bus=1 param_spidev_spi_cs=1 (took me a bit to figure out that I…

I know it sounds crazy. But at least every 1 out 3 reboots, the sbc will shutdown instead (no hdmi output) and not boot back up. Rebooting in terminal whether remotely or locally will have the same effect. And when it fails to reboot and just shuts down instead, my linksys router (ea9500) disconnects the internet (devices still connected to router). I have to power cycle the router to get it working again. This occurred on a fresh installation of the current focal releases. I would say I had to restart my router at least 15 times in the past few hours, and every time it happened was when the reboot command failed. The sbc is connected via ethernet, and the internet…

It doesn't differ (much). Major difference is that when you start with a Debian / Ubuntu you start with a DI (Debian Installer) and install Debian to some drive. That process is identical on all x86 Ubuntu based Linuxes. Only background / colours, configurations, perhaps an application / GRUB versions is changed ... We only provide "LIVE" image because of different hardware design / scenarios. Its more suitable this way. Once you login into Armbian, all tutorials and install cases will work the same way as they work on particular Debian / Ubuntu version https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials with rare exceptions when application does not come with arm/arm64 b…

Hello. Im trying to configure w1-gpio bus on Armbian. There are default parametrs set: /sys/bus/w1/devices/w1_bus_master w1_master_timeout = 10 w1_master_timeout_us = 0 How to change them? Is this possible or require recompilation of w1-gpio module?

Hello, has anyone found a way to get a relatively new nodejs running on Armbian Bionic? I can not find one. I always end up with a not supported plattform. I am using a banana Pi M2 plus. I currently have a very old one running, (8.x) and I can not remember how I did that. Thank you for your support!

Hello, I run a clearfogpro, this problem is not board specific, but I would like to use a huawei e3372h-153 USB 4G dongle on this board which has a USB3 port. The current version of armbian is Debian Buster Linux 4.14.135-mvebu. This dongle is in stick mode, as opposed to the hilink mode. In stick mode, when plugging the dongle, two devices appear : /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/cdc-ncm1. With the former I can issue AT commands to the dongle, the latter is the modem itself with the NCM protocol, known to be faster than PPP. There is also an wwan interface appearing with ifconfig -a. However, I do not know…

This is the method of cloning I have been using for several years. Saved me lots of time. Applications: YUMI, QT5-fsarchiver, Wine, Live OS, and Sandisk USB. 1 Make a bootable-usb using YUMI.

Hi!, i got some issue with armbian version 20.11. The problem is similar to https://forum.armbian.com/topic/2076-a20-cubieboard-2/ . I tried to blacklist the ir, too. But it do not fix my problem, because there were changes at the commands to blacklist the ir. But also i am not 100% sure that it is the ir, because the prompt shows me the stacks and pointed at the smbd PID (at the appendix - fotos). (Sorry for the bad foto quality!) I appreciate your help!

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…

Hello, I would like to have some help with the video in Armbian. I have migrated to it and I want to make it the best possible. I hope there is some things I can do to make it run smoother. It is ok with small screen but not with full screen. I have a Tinkerboard S.

I was initially overjoyed to find these loads for the Macchiatobin, as they allowed me to install a boatload of software including drivers for a PCIe device. Unfortunately. it appears that the U-Boot version (21.01) does not enumerate the PCIe bus correctly. As a result, I can't test that PCIe device. The relevant failure is: PCIE-0: Link up (Gen2-x2, Bus0) PCI: Failed autoconfig bar 10 PCI: Failed autoconfig bar 14 PCI: Failed autoconfig bar 10 PCI: Failed autoconfig bar 14 pci command output is: => pci 0 Scanning PCI devices on bus 0 BusDevFun VendorId DeviceId Device Class Sub-Class _____…

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?

Hello, My mic works on my laptop, but I tried to do the computer, but the mic is not working. I tried a troubleshooter, allowing audio to be recorded. I have tried to reinstall the drivers, but nothing seems to be working. Even after doing a lot of research, the solution was not found. Then after going to the settings, after looking at the setting of the microphone, it came to know that the microphone needs permission to run in the device which was disabled. At the same point, after I have given permission in the settings, the microphone was not working due to not giving it, then the https://mictests.net is checking the mic from the site and see if…

Hi, in my case the test is on a Rock64 (4GB, v2 edition) using latest current Buster or Focal. The problem is in the first init configuration assistant. When selecting the "User language based on your location", after selecting es_AR.UTF-8 (I am from Argentina) it "auto-detects" my keyboard layout as AR which belongs to Arabic iirc (which is wrong). After this of course I can't type anything right on terminal. I had to fix it over ssh by issuing the command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration.

Hello folks, I have been banging my head on this for a few days now and after many searches what should work it is not working :-( I'm setting up an NTP server on a NanoPi Neo3 board (RK3328) running Armbian and I'm stuck on getting the PPS to work.

Hi guys! I need to run some game on full screen, and they are old school windows one. the thing is that adding the modeline worked perfectly fine on rpi4, not on armbian sadly. it seems to change the resolution and then it go "out of signal". I used the same parametes than on rpi4. also generated new ones just in case. the thing is I cant make it to work and maybe iut's something deep into armbian. exaple: xrandr --newmode "640x480_60.00" 23.75 640 664 720 800 480 483 487 500 -hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode HDMI-1 640x480_60.00

I have a carrier board from codico: https://www.codico.com/en/carrier-board-h-home-control-evb-for-red-yellow-beet-modul I've followed the pdf file from the above link to set up a Rasperry Pi and it all works fine. However, when swapping for my NanoPi Neo Core, even though the drivers load correctly, and I see SPI comms going back and forth on the oscilloscope, I am not connected to the internet. This is what ifconfig returns: What could be the difference between rpi and this board that this happens? Any guidance on how to resolve it would be deeply appreciated!

I have a Ubuntu Server 18.04 with postfix installed and configure it the same way as I did on my Helios64 running Armbian 21.02.3 Focal. Last week, one of my older drives died in the Helios, but I didn't get an email about this. My Ubuntu Server 18.04 will send me mails as soon as there's an issue in the SMART values from the drive. I didn't had to configure anything to do that apart from postfix. I can send a test mail from both my Ubuntu Server 18.04 and my Helios64 Armbian and receive both. Any idea what the reason is that my Ubuntu Server 18.04 is sending me those emails by default and how I could enable this on my Helios64?

I'm trying to update in Htoo_Armbian and being prompted for my [sudo] password. I almost always use one password for all my Linux devices, so I may have set up a password during initial install of Armbian--don't recall. How do I recover my password, enter a new one w/o reinstalling the whole OS?

I'd like some help please. The ethernet device naming seems inconsistent and sometimes changes following reboots. Sometimes one interface comes up as eth0 and sometimes as eth1, and sometimes not at all. The enp1s0 interface seems to reliably come up, but not with the right config (sometimes it uses the config for enp1s0 and sometimes for eth0). I am trying to assign status IP addresses (on different networks) to each interface, but because of the unreliable bringup of the network interfaces, I can't get a config that starts up correctly and consistency on reboots or cold boots. As a test I ran the friendly-core-lite-focal from …

Hi all, I think i have made a mistake but i don't know what. Do someone know what goes wrong? Yesterday i have played with the PCIe port on the Orange Pi 4 with the original extension module.

So far so good. Then i tries to plugin a wifi card (doesn't know exactly wich one. I thought Intel 6230) but didn't want to boot and a green led lights up on the PCIe board what i has never seen before. After that i thought: ''hmm, there is here laying a old Dell Latitude D630. …
