I have several orange pi pc plus using armbian and need to upgrade. I was able to upgrade to bionic but the kernel continued on version 3.4.113-sun8i. How do I upgrade the kernel? I need to upgrade because I will use the docker and it requires a kernel at least with version 3.10

After some frustration with poor support for Banana Pi M2 Zero board by the manufacturer and not a very active community on Banana Pi forums, I stumbled upon Armbian and found out there's a CSC for building Armbian for this board. And because I'm having issues with wifi on the images found on Banana forums, with all images being old and based on kernel 3.4 -- wifi disconnects with some weird firmware errors in dmesg after about 3 minutes of running, requiring reboot to get back up again -- I was happy to read Armbian runs fine on BPI-M2Z for some folks here. So I did the build process, twice, so that I have two images to test, one with kernel 4.19 and one with 5.1, b…

Hi. I am digging many things with armbian so I install fresh armbian and many applications so many times. So I am making a long script to install many applications and edit many configuration. When it asked "Yes/On" on text prompt, I use "#echo yes | apt install vim". It works well. But when I install samba, it ask text prompt "yes/no" at first and then with dialog box "yes/no". So I tried "#echo yes | echo no | apt install samba". But it doesn't work. How can I send "yes/no" to dialog box in bash shell??

I just upgraded my Linux Mint from 22.2 to 22.3 "Zena" ...

Hi, I've some issues regarding apt pinning, which I've used for a year now without problems, after doing a clean install to Armbian_5.70_Tinkerboard_Debian_stretch_next_4.19.14. I've figured out that installing only locales from testing (2.28-4) over (2.24-11+deb9u3) kills armbian-ramlog.service as seen below in spoiler 1, which again seems to cause problems for other packages as Nginx.

Hello, Like it happened to @Grogorio in 2016, I need to introduce a boot delay on my OrangePi Zero Plus (Armbian 23.02.2 Focal) to allow time for other network elements in my setup to boot. As per what I have read somewhere, this can done by adding a 'boot_delay=n' line in /boot/config.txt, however I don't see this file in Armbian; I've also tried to add the line, but it does not seems to be working. Furthermore, the max delay that can be setup there is 10 seconds, but I need a longer delay. Can someone help? TIA

Hi all; Recently i installed a armbian and seems to be all ok less the global memory detection. I don't know by but the system have only detect 256 Mb. from total amount of 512Mb. (/proc/meminfo).

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 …

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…

After a long time not using my cubietruck i decided to install the new Armbian Buster to it. I installed the xfce gui and now the gui is very very slow. If i move a window it tooks about 1-3 seconds till i see its moved. Complete gui is very juddery. The Task manager in debian buster shows the cpu and memory is not always on 100% although xfce is very slow. How can i fix this? Can it be cause i use a few years old 64gb samsung micro sd? If it's because the cubietruck is too old and slow can you recommend another newer much faster system?

Hello, Armbian devs, I have customized a kernel for an existing Armbian system. I wish I can replace the kernel on the system directly without going throught Armbian build system. According to what Martinayotte told me, there are 3 symbolic link to kernel image, dtbs, and uInitrd actually to boot. While I have done first 2, and I know that I have to do "mkimage" to generate a u-boot compatible uinitrd for sure. But... How can I produce the original initramfs, first? I trace the log of Armbian build system and found out it's generated by update-iniramfs command. But the environment is wiped out after it's done. I'm not sur…

I'm spending some time on one of those famous Q8 tv boxes (ENY Q8, VSmart Q8, etc...) which sports the rk3288 soc I started with recent u-boot and kernel releases. Rockchip provides a recent u-boot (late 2017) and an LTS 4.4 kernel on their rockchip-linux github account. I compiled u-boot (from here) using a the device tree source from DengueTim (available here, in arch/arm/boot/dts/rk3288-q8.dts). I had to enable the serial driver though, because the device tree is "kernel flavour", instead u-boot wanted explicitly the serial port in "chosen" section. Compilation goes fine and u-boot boots from the SD card, prints Model, Ram and MMC infos on …

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…

I picked up an orange pi lite and loaded armbain debain jessie using etcher on a 16gb card. when i install it to the orange pi lite and power it on it asks me for a user name and password. i did as instructed using rot and 1234. then i added my name and made a new password as instructed. it then acts like its booting and says orange pi lite on the screen but wont boot the GUI desktop as it describes. it displays the name and some of the current states of the board (temp ect) but then sits at a command prompt waiting for input. i can type help and it will give me a list of commands that work for it but none indicate they will boot the…

hi: I have old allwinner H2/H3 boards which work very stable with armbian jessie. although I can still get debian jessie packages, I found armbian jessie packages are gone from apt.armbian.com. is there any place I can sync these armbian jessie packages? thanks a lot for your help!!

So basically if I wish to backup the sd card after installing the Armbian OS, how would I do that? In raspbian we put the image to sd card using win32diskimager. To backup the sd card we can just read the data back to computer and name the img file. How can we do that in armbian at least the easy way? Why we can view raspbian image's folder from window? What I understand is linux use ext4 file format which window cannot recognise as with armbian sd card? Many Many thanks!!

I want to load my custom service to show orangepi zero as three devices on the host PC. But as the UDC ( /sys/class/udc/musb-hdrc.1.auto) is being used by another service which is probably the builtin service using udc to show orangepi as: Bus 001 Device 048: ID 0525:a4a7 Netchip Technology, Inc. Linux-USB Serial Gadget (CDC ACM mode) I want to disable that service so that my custom service can use the UDC for the required purpose. This is the command: echo "$(ls /sys/class/udc/)" > UDC and this is the error: echo: write error: Device or resource busy "ls /sys/class/udc" has the file musb-hdrc.1.auto an…

Hello, I got recently an Odroid HC2 and installed Armbian (Buster 5.4.61) on it, OMV5 and I fixed IP. I configured it on the cable that I use on my desktop and connected my desktop on wifi. When I finished the configuration, I put HC2 closer to router on another cable and connect my desktop on the cable that HC2 was connected. If I try to connect to SBC through Putty on the desktop with it connected on cable and wifi, I connect normally. But if I disconnect of wifi, I can't connect to SBC, even on Putty or browser. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Help me, my orangepizero wont work. Every time i try to start ssh it say connection refused. Only sometimes it works. I recently installed Armbian 22.5 bullseye and after that it stopped working. Pls help

My /var/log fills to 100% quickly after cleaning. I am running Ubuntu 18.10 with Nextcloud snap on a Cubox-i4. Others have mitigated the problem by changing the logging strategy, but I rather not mess with this. Any ideas?

Hi armbian dev team ! Now I am using an orange pi pc h3 board. My problem is how to disable all boot text and splash screen on HDMI screen. I read serveral topic which discussed but i do not understand. I really need to help. Please help me! Sorry for my english skill.

I use a currently fully updated Armbian on an ODROID-C2. I start tigervnc like this in /etc/crontab: @reboot linuxfan bash -lc 'vncserver -local host no' My ~/.vnc/xstartup: #!/bin/bash exec startxfce4 Everything works over VNC but gparted. Nothing would happen when I click on the menu entry. When I try to start it from an Xfce terminal, it (somehow) tells my why it won't start: $ sudo gparted No protocol specified (gpartedbin:23385): Gtk-WARNING **: 20:55:09.777: cannot open display: :1.0 I'm at my wits end and would be glad if someone can help me out.

https://www.armbian.com/uefi-arm64/ said it suppport PHYTIUM D2000, so i want to ask, if it support PHYTIUM FT2000/4 ?

Maybe someone will be interested in it. https://bbs.stationpc.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=343&extra=page%3D1%26filter%3Dauthor%26orderby%3Dlastpost The uniqueness of this model is in the mechanism of a very simple installation of a standard SATA SSD drive. p.s. According to information from one client who uses this equipment in serious industrial operation - P2 worked without problems for many days with a full load (24\7) in harsh conditions without failures and failures, at the same time, they tried to use R4S, which froze and turned off after 20 hours.

Hey all, I've been using Allwinner boards for the last couple of years and Armbian+forums have made this a workable thing that I promote to my friends as being The Way To Go instead of being a big fat waste of time. Igor + Tkaiser (and anyone else forgive me if I didn't give you a shout) - You fucking rock. You really do; you've all provided amazing amounts of support for multiple kernels and userspaces and in the face of (at least) bullshit from the chip vendors, yet you are absolutely crucial to them being taken seriously. The work from Armbian has (for me) made the difference between BananaPi, OrangePi, etc all being an unusable washout of #ShitDidn'tW…

I recently reinstall my Tinkerboard with Focal Desktop to start over. I installed xrdp in armbian-config, and RDPed in, there was no wallpaper, no desktop icon, no mouse icon and windows I opened looks weird (but xfce taskbar shows up) I came to the conclusion that it has something to do with auto login, so a quick google leads me to this instruction, I commented the line in "/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/22-armbian-autologin.conf" out, reboot, and the RDP environment works great. Except now there is lightdm-gtk-greeter process in the background that is taking 100% CPU usage in full clock speed, the board became hot (>70 degree Celsius) very quickly. …

So, i managed to boot from ssd, run docker ... after issues with usb port connection i desided to apt-get upgrade.... then stuff happends that i do not really understand. As i try to run docker afterwards there seems to be an issue with the storage-driver overlay2. I tried a- lot of fixes... but do not want to lose the containers and images that i used in docker. A lot of time has gone in to configuring ( and figureing? out) I cannot solve how to get the issue solved. Help! this man is desperate. How do i start?

Hi All. As you may have read at my HDMI post, I have tried two different OpiPC images, the default one here, and the current RetrorangePi. On the first one, I used this tutorial: and it worked perfectly, well almost. I got some errors because the usbids isn't on here, nor is modprobe. But it worked. Then I tried the retro image and went back to do the same process, but no matter what I do I can't see to get rid of error messages. I've tried to put ARCH=ARM and arm. I've tried TARGET=LINUX. None of the tips out there seem to work. pi@RetrOrangePi:/usr/src/DPO_MT7601U_LinuxSTA_3.0.0.4_20130913$ sudo make ARCH=arm make -C tools …

Hello dear armbianites, I'm trying to make the hc1 optimization for the odroid HC2 board permanent, every time the kernel is updated, armbiam loses the optimization and an admin action is needed to apply the optimization again via ambianconfig > System DTB > optimized board configuration, followed by a reboot. My Odroid HC2 suffers from temperature sensor problems, which can be easily bypassed. But I avoid restarts of this server which hosts an OMV instance for personal needs. I understand that the /boot/armbianEnv.txt file passes the information to /boot/boot.ini, but this file seems to be overwritten when the kernel is updated! is t…

Hello I have an Orange pi Prime and I need help getting it to boot directly to the desktop bypassing the login prompt. I have been searching for a solution but the threads I've found are pretty outdated. Is there a way to accomplish this? No LSB modules are available.

I'm fairly new to Linux, so excuse me when I'm asking the obvious. I'm using ARMbian 5.25 stable Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS 3.4.113-sun8i on a Orange Pi Zero, RTL-SDR and DireWolf When I execute from prompt: rtl_fm -f 144.80M - | direwolf -c sdr.conf -r 24000 -D 1 - Everything starts up as it should. But as I'm planning to use a headless setup, some self sustaining feature after power failure or whatnot is necessary. I figured out how to configure a cronjob and it starts a shell script when the software is not running. In that shellscript I'm using: DWCMD="bash -c 'rtl_fm -f 144.80M - | direwolf -c s…

Hello, I followed the steps Igor provided here to create separate partitions for boot & root. I'm now trying to flash my NAND using this SD card, but nand-sata-install doesn't work out-of-the-box with this setup. # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mmcblk0p1 20M 16M 4.1M 80% /boot /dev/mmcblk0p2 3.6G 2.3G 1.1G 68% / ... I tried making a lot of modifications to the nand-sata-install.sh script, but nothing seems to work. I would appreciate if someone could direct me as to what parts of the script need to be modified. Thank you.

I have 1 Armbian installed in the SBC. I want to login but I don't have any idea what is the root password. I saw there are few methods of breaking it and can bypass / reset password. I noticed that this method is 1 of the easiest way, but it doesn't work.

Hello, I have an Odroid N2+ on Armbian 23.02 Bullseye. I wish to upgrade to Bookworm. Initially I expected to do the upgrade after the update to Armbian 23.05 via apt but I tend to think we will have directly 23.08 without 23.05 I won't ask for the date when we will have 23.05 but has someone upgraded to Bookworm with Armbian 23.05? I know this kind of upgrade is not officially supported but as I made it from Buster to Bullseye I have the same project for Bookworm. But I am not sure Bookworm and Armbian 23.05 are really compatible.

I like to connect an Atmega328 micro to the UART of the Neo Core. The micro runs on 5v. Are the neo core pins 5v tolerant? I can't find any information on the Website only this one: "All pins are 3.3V, output current is 5mA"

Hi, I am new to this forum, and I am looking for a way to setup my OrangePi Zero 3 with headless without monitor. I read through this link, but it requires LAN access. I don't have LAN access and I managed to put the wifi setup in the img directly, and burn to the SD card. Somehow I still can't WIFI connected. Am I missing any addtional settings?

Hi: I am using debian jessie on orange pi H3 boards and I am very satisfied with it. but I need to upgrade now since jessie is out of support. i want to upgrade to debian buster since my pi is using as a server without any display attached. but I wonder maybe there is something good I missed from ubuntu: like 10 years LTS support? or perhaps most developers are using ubuntu so it is more mature? just need some advice. thanks a lot!

The new board only make difficulties the img of http://forum.banana-pi.org/ are very questionable When formatting, it always says write-protected under Windows (read-only) On Linux with fdisk is the deletion of the partitions, is not a failure message but with fdisk -l is everything as before. I have tried several attempts from the net but no success. With me are already two cards defective, are nail new. This problem is when copying with the DD command and Raspbian Pixel SD copier.

I was trying to get my Fritz!WLAN AC860 to work which requires Mediatek drivers/firmware. I noticed that the various kernel modules (mt76x2u, mt76x2_common, mt76x02_usb, mt76_usb, mt76x02_lib and mt76) were already available through the armbian-firmware package, but the also required mt7662_rom_patch.bin was not. The Mediatek modules plus mt7662_rom_patch.bin are available in the firmware-linux-nonfree package, but this will only install properly after first removing the armbian-firmware package. Everything seems to work fine now (I'm using my OdroidC4 as a headless server), but I have this nagging feeling that one day I'll need to us…

I built armbian from the main branch for my tablet based on Allwinner A33 and the topic: Used q88_a33_tablet_1024x600_defconfig and tried q8_a33_tablet_1024x600_defconfig the image was built successfully, at startup I see the console of u-boot, and can use it bu OTG, but only before message the kernel starting... and then after kernel starting it will a black screen as i think the video mode or something else is configured incorrectly, I checked the boot kernel logs, the kernel starts successfully, there are no any errors during start, apparently the problem is only in the video output on my tablet.

Hi, I would like to run my NanoPi M4 from an external USB3 SSD. Does anybody know if the images here: http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_M4#Work_with_FriendlyCore Will work? Or are they specifically for SD or eMMC? If they won't work, how do I modify to make it work? Many thanks! M

Hello everyone I need to record events using a webcam from the console via ssh connection. So I bought an orangepipc2 and a logitech c310 webcam and I started experimenting with ffmpeg and also cvlc. I need to record in HD (1280x720) with audio and minimum 10 frames per second for a duration of an hour or so and if possible in mp4 format with video in libx264 and audio in acc. Disk space is not a problem because I installed armbian (ubuntu 18.04) on an external ssd by usb. The problem is that audio and video are out of sync in cvlc and, in the case of ffmpeg, it gives me several errors and the audio is cut. I have also tried to record audio and vid…

Hello, When we install armbian cinnammon, the eth0 ip is set default to 192.168.0.8. I cloned the installation and then the cloned conflicts with the source so I though to use armbian-config to change the IP adress. The ipv4 changed but I noticed warnings in/var/log/syslog : IPv6: eth0: IPv6 duplicate address.. It seems armbian-config does not update ipv6 or? What should be do, disable ipv6? I read it is not recommended at all.

Hello here, I thank you in advance for coming here. I have gotten an Orange Pi Zero 2 H616 yesterday, and I wanted to install Docker as Rootless on the ARMBian Bullseye image, but It is failing every try I do to actually bring it up. It always gives the following message in Journalctl: docker.service: Start request repeated too quickly. I just wanted to ask if anybody has actually found a way to deal with this. Alternatively, I cannot boot any kernel higher than the legacy 4.9 kernel given on the main page, all the others give no feedback when the board connects to the current. I am pretty sure I am missing something, but I found no info …
