Hi, I'm trying to work with the CedarX/Cedrus Video Engine (running in Allwinner A20). It works smoothly with my patched FFmpeg; for example: ffmpeg -f v4l2 -r 30 -pix_fmt nv12 -video_size 1280x720 -i /dev/video0 -vcodec cedrus264 -pix_fmt nv12 -qp 15 -f rtsp -rtsp_transport tcp rtsp://192.168.10.11/live/test I need to use pixel format RGB24, but as far as I understand, I'm limited to work with NV12 (or NV16) pixel format. Does this limitation is due to: My FFmpeg patch (I think not...) CedarX/Cedrus driver implementation. Hardware limitation. Thanks for the help, Joseph

If possible, I would like to shutdown or wake up the Odroid N2 using a GPIO button. I followed the guide here: https://wiki.odroid.com/odroid-n2/application_note/gpio/gpio_key_wakeup. The button LED works, but the button does not trigger shutdown or wake up using pin 9 and 11. Has anyone gotten a power button to work on the Odroid N2? Is there a specific Odroid module/software that isn't installed by default in Armbian? Additions to /boot/boot.ini setenv gpiopower "479" setenv bootargs ${bootargs} gpiopower=${gpiopower} After these additions, /proc/cmdline shows "gpiopower=479" as expected. I'm running Armbian 21.02.2 Buster on the Od…

Hi, New here and new to Linux / Terminal so please be gentle. I've installed Armbian (Armbian_20.11.6_Rockpro64_focal_current_5.9.14_desktop.img) on my RockPro64... liking it so far. Issue I have is I cannot eject media from the File Manager GUI. This applies to USB thumb drives and also CDR/DVD drive. Error message reads as follows: Failed to eject “15 GB Volume”. Error ejecting /dev/sda: Error spawning command-line ‘eject’/dev/sda”: Failed to execute child process “eject” (No such file or directory) (g-exec-error-quark, 8). Incidently I have a vague memory of this being an issue when I tested Armbian on a …

Hi, I’m running Armbian 20.11 on a RockPro64. I have a Dell DW316 CD/DVD drive and would like to use it to burn data CDs, however so far I have not been able to get it to work. I have tried to burn using Brasero, KD3 and others but no luck. The Brasero log mentioned something about ‘adapter’ error but have tried a different USB cable. I was having an issue with ejecting media in the GUI with Armbian but managed to fix that but makes no difference for this (https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16863-failed-to-eject-media-warning/?tab=comments#comment-117961). The Drive makes a whirling noise for a few seconds then stops and does that repeated…

Hi, I'm trying to run with a PREEMPT_RT kernel to get a real-time (lowest latency as possible) performance. But in addition to the PREEMPT_RT patch, I want to make sure the system doesn't go to sleep (or using power save modes) to avoid additional wake-ups latencies (that the PREEMPT_RT patch cannot reduce). I've reviewed the AXP209 datasheet and tried to understand if I can somehow disable the system from going to sleep, but I didn't find the answer for that. I do know that register 0x31 can control the entrance to sleep mode if we write '1' to bit-3, but I can't prevent other drivers or applications from doing it. Question: Is th…

Trying to set frequencies and governor for both types of CPUs on this processor. armbian-config sets the max freq and governor correctly for the two big proccesors but no config for little. Tried cpufreq-set for little, but it does not respect governor. If its set to a freq is stays there indefinitely, and if conservative governor is set the max freq goes back to 1.5. How do we set max freq to 1.2 for little, and governor to conservative and have both stick like big does with armbian-config?

Having downloaded the Armbian OS for my Cubox-i, I am using Gparted on MXLinux to prepare my 32Gb microUSB card for installing the extracted image. My initial problem is that I have to select the partition table type to install, from a list with msdos being the default. Is msdos the correct type or should I use one of the others offered (sun, gpt, bsd, dvh, aix, loop, pc98, amiga, atari, mac) Once that is done, what filesystem should I use to create the new partition as there are so many choices available. I appreciate any help you can provide to get me going. Thanks Ashdown

Hello, From the subject of this topic it may sound like a very common and must-know question. But trust me I am struggling to add my custom prebuilt apk in to the Android 10 AOSP to include it in my custom ROM. What I have tried so far; 1. I have added a directory of my_app_name in <aosp_dir>/packages/apps/. Added an Android.mk file with below content in it, Placed my apk with that Android.mk in same directory. This did not work, I am not able to find any my_app_name.apk in out/targte/product directories. LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir) include $(CLEAR_VARS) LOCAL_MODULE := my_app_name LOCAL_MODULE_CLASS := APPS LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := o…

I can run device with compatible dtb(but has bug),so I write for myself. But the dtb that I compile can't start. So I want to compile dtb quick and debug. I only know `compile.sh` to build complete img but to slow, How to only compile dtb?(like `make ARCH=arm64 dtbs`)

Not related to armbian distribution, just curious. I googled but had no luck to find an answer. For Allwinner SoCs, there is FEL boot tool to download bootloader, kernel and initramfs to ram and to boot the system directly, without writing those stuff onto flash storage and performing a reset; I wonder whether there is a tool to achieve the same function for rockchip SoCs? or we could modify the usbplug and rkdeveloptool to implement the function? or there are any limitations to prevent it? any comments or advices?

I'm having an aggressive memory leak issue I can't place: Within 5 minutes the 4GB are full. htop and top don't show a massive program growing unbouded. `df` doesn't show a tmpfs that is too large.

I've disabled docker, and that along with omv were the only services running…

Dear members of the forums. I am shopping for a new single board computer, already have a few manufacturers, but I am not sure yet. Couple years ago I bought BPI-M2U from Sinvoip, and I regretted that soon. Sinvoip was not providing good documentation nor open source contributions of drivers. So to avoid the same situation, I'd like to ask which manufacturers are co-share, contribute to open source and don't sell boards with schematic errors? Orange Pi (4) Khadas (Vim3) Friendly Elec (m4) Odroid (N2) Thank you in advance and sorry if this is not the right forum.

Is anyone else running their build environment in a VM? Specifically hosted by QEMU? I'm running into some strange things, and wondering if anyone has seen it. I'm running an Ubuntu (20.04) in a VM using QEMU as the hypervisor. Basically, the build generally works fine. However, as I add more features/processes to the customization script, I am starting to see segmentation faults. I see this with sudo and when I try to git pull something. This is what I get: qemu: uncaught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - core dumped Segmentation fault (core dumped) I got here by dumping into a bash script from 'customize-image.sh', so it'…

Of the boards supported by Armbian, which do you prefer for multiple audio devices and audio related applications? I need to control two audio streams, in and out each and add information to the streams as appropriate. I would like to use as little external hardware as possible so stereo mic or dual mic input and stereo out would be awesome. I'm a little overwhelmed by the choices, so opinions are definitely welcome here.

I have read the other thread about this. If that one would not be closed I would have posted in there. My boottime is around 45 seconds and I would like to have it (much) faster. I run the V 20.11.06 Buster current 5.9.14 on two RockPi's 4 A with uBoot, NVME and no SD-card. I bought the TTL-Cable and it gives a lot, but the pause I am complaining about is entierly after all of that. The pause comes when minicom says "Rockpi4 Login:". The RockPi seems still to be "booting", black screen on and of, NVME Led blinking burst from time to time (no pattern), for ~15 seconds. Then I get the red Logo with the circling dots, they circle 7-8 times and only the…

Hi Can anyone provide information about how to overclock and to what values in TwisterOS? Cheers JB

I'm trying to run NixOS on my NanoPC-T4, and it's having trouble detecting the NVMe drive connected to the M.2 port. I've tried running Armbian, specifically Armbian_21.02.1_Nanopct4_focal_current_5.10.12.img downloaded from here, and it appears to detect it just fine. On NixOS I'm running a stock 5.10.13 kernel, which is newer than the 5.10.12 that Armbian is using. I'm assuming that I'm missing some kind of specific patch that makes this work on Armbian. I examined the kernel I was running on Armbian: qwe@nanopct4:~$ ls -l /boot/ | grep rockchip total 63872 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 221399 Feb 3 19:55 config-5.10.12-rockchip64 l…

Hi, I've got an Odroid HC2 with Armbian Buster and OMV on it, and the SD card I used it with got corrupted. So I salvaged all the files from it and backups, and restored the whole file structure onto a new SD card, with an ext4 MBR primary partition. Now, my concern is, how can I make this bootable? I can boot the HC2 off a throwaway newly installed Armbian, and access the target SD card through a USB card reader. I could google that armbian-config is used to install the bootloader, but apparently it can only do that to the card which has been used to boot the device in the first place. Any suggestions? thanks

Hi there, I would like to have a Docker container accessing the GPIO on the Orange Pi Zero. For the time being, I'm using OPi.GPIO as a library to make a LED blink, but will use Java-Periphery and SSD1306 later on. As for now, the LED is blinking, all is fine. What I would like to do now it to create a Docker image from Armbian doing the same thing, so I was thinking of starting the image from scratch with Armbian root directory. How could I find/make a minimal Armbian root directory to build my Docker image upon? Thanks.

I recently bought a NanoPi M4V2 with the SATA HAT extension. I'm planning on using it to build a personal NAS. However, I have some concerns about the SATA HAT.

Hey everyone, I am using a odroid c2 board with Armbien Buster image. I have a cheap bluetooth dongle and a usb sound card connected to the board.

Hello! For some weeks now my BPM1 behaves a bit strange concerning video output. I used to connect my Banana to my monitor via a HDMI-DVI cable, which worked well for a very long time. Now, when I reboot the system, my monitor says "no signal", when I use that cable, as it does also when I use a pure HDMI-HDMI cable. The only way to make the Banana's video output work, is by using a HDMI-DSUB converter. But here comes the even stranger mystery: after I booted the Banana, using that converter, I can change the cable to whatever I want: HDMI-HDMI or HDMI-DVI, they both suddenly work again! But if I reboot the Banana again, not using the H…

After installing Ubuntu Focal 20.08.17 (on Pine A64), I have noticed the following. Uninstalling unneeded packages with apt-get autoremove shows that the package python3-distro-info will be uninstalled. Can other users confirm this issue and can it be fixed when building the image?

After installing Ubuntu Focal 20.08.17 (on Pine A64), I have noticed the following. Searching for packages which are not fully installed with dpkg -l|grep -v ^ii returns systemd-timesyncd.

Hi ! I spent several hours looking for the solution, here and elsewhere, I didn't find. The Radxa wiki speaks about 2 SPI: 1 and 2 The device tree README speaks about 4 SPI: SPI 0 pins (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS): GPIO3_A5, GPIO3_A4, GPIO3_A6, GPIO3_A7 SPI 1 pins (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS): GPIO1_A7, GPIO1_B0, GPIO1_B1, GPIO1_B2 SPI 2 pins (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS): GPIO1_C0, GPIO1_B7, GPIO1_C1, GPIO1_C2 SPI 3 pins (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS): GPIO2_B2, GPIO2_B1, GPIO2_B3, GPIO2_B4 So, the correspondence seems to be: radxa SPI 1 <=> DT SPI 1 radxa SPI2 <=> DT SPI 3 With the latest kernel (5.10.12-rockchip64, Deb…

Hi, my base problem is syncthing not starting on boot. But in trying to solve that it would be useful to uninstall and reinstall syncthing via armbian-config and hence softy. But armbian-config/softy does not let me uninstall syncthing (or for that matter samba, which I also don't want or need on that machine). Nor does apt: sudo apt-get remove --purge samba reports "Package 'samba' is not installed, so not removed", though armbian-config/softy shows it as installed. Is there a way to uninstall packages installed via armbian-config/softy? Thanks Graham

I have a Retro-bit gamepad but it does to seem to be detected in Twister OS, any one know of what is supported or what I need to do to get mine working?

Dear all, I'm frequently losing GPIO interrupts on various boards, which seem to be caused by bursty processes. When I shield the cores that have those interrupts according to /proc/interrupts with e..g. "cset shield --cpu=0,1" , way less interrupts are lost (e.g. for 4kHz interrupts one in hours instead of once per minute). Most of these (ADC) interrupts are handled by my own kernel module, but couldn't find how to restrict them to e.g. CPU0, and they are not movable using /proc/irq/*/smp_affinity.

Dear all, I can successfully build an out-of-tree module on 5.9 and 5.10.x kernels, but have trouble running them since Armbian 20.11.6.

nanoPi M4 running Armbian 21.02.1 Buster with Linux 5.10.12-rockchip64. Attached are two identical B25 USB Bluetooth Transmitter Sticks which are supposed to transmit the same MP3 stream (provided by Mopidy or Shairplay Sync). The following screenshot shows just a single B25 stick attached, the second one has yet to arrive. I expect them to all have the same USB ID ID 0a12:1004: Here’s the problem: After each reboot the system (or ALSA?) gives the B25 stick a different card number in aplayer -l (in the screenshot above B25 is card #2, on the next reboot it could switch position and be #1). Question therefore: How can I make two id…

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! 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!

This is a FYI: My armbian did not automount my USB-disk. Possbile reason "By default, disk drives do not auto-mount in Ubuntu Server Edition.". Anyway: I solved it with usbmount: First install usbmount. Then, in /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf change the line #MOUNTOPTIONS="sync,noexec,nodev,noatime,nodiratime" to MOUNTOPTIONS="sync,noexec,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,user,umask=0000" to make it writeable for all users.

Goodmorning, I'm Tiziano from Italy. I would like to manage all the delicate functions of my reef aquarium through an Orange Pi Lite card. I saw that both the Armbian Buster program and the Armbian Focal program are available for my card, I kindly ask you to understand if there is a fundamental difference between the two and which. I have tried successfully in any case to install and run both programs on the microSD and to start the two programs. The card starts up and the whole procedure is performed correctly. The problem is that in the end I am only asked to choose the "default system command shell" between "bash" and "zsh", no option to start a desktop …

Hello, I've the Pi One H3 version that I always used with a HDMI to VGA adapter that worked ok until lately that stopped working. So I was thinking to connect the board to a TV monitor having DVI connection. I've tried both stable and experimental version of Armbian o.s. and it shows the same problem, basically it boots ok at native resolution (1280x768 60Hz) until it starts the desktop GUI and it goes to "no signal". If I return to the text console mode the monitor feel the signal again and at the same native panel resolution. I've tried both HDMI to DVI adapter at the monitor side and also an HDMI to DVI adapter and using a DVI cable on the board side and noth…

Dear all, I used win32diskimager to write the armbian image on a 8G sd card and everything works good. when I finish working on the image I read the final image also by using win32diskimager, the size of this image is right now 8G since the sd card size is 8G. After that I wrote this 8G image on a 16 G sd card. when I check the size of this new sd card after writing the 8G image it shows that the sd card size is 8G not 16 G. So, please how can I read an image from a 8G sd card and write it to a 16 G sd card and the size of the sd card remains 16 G to be used later. Best regards

http://www.cubietech.com/ website is available and even lists CB9 for sale ! But http://cubieboard.org/ website which provides support for CubieBoard (and O.S images) is down ! What gives ? Is CubieTech dead or alive ? Where can I find any (new or old) Linux images ? (for Cubieboard 4, specifically; I also had Cubieboard 3 / CubieTruck lying somewhere, but I can't find it anymore ...) A new Debian like v10 "Buster" or v11 "Bullseye" will support outdated Cubieboards ? Thanks in advance,

Hi I'm trying to get the SPI ports to work in a RockPi 4B board. I've done the following: Installed the Armbian_20.11.6_Rockpi-4b_focal_legacy_4.4.213.img.xz image Edited armbianEnv.txt overlays=spi-spidev param_spidev_spi_bus=0 There is a entry at: /sys/class/spidev/spidev0.0, but nothing at /dev/spidev/ Next, I built libmraa, which fails to run any examples with SPI, as it can initialize any SPI devices.

Hello. I'm running "Armbian 20.11.6 Focal" on an Odroid-C2 board. Today, after an "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade", the OS name changed from "Armbian 20.11.6 Focal" to "Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS". The changes has been done from the package "11ubuntu5.3" (https://launchpadlibrarian.net/519827877/base-files_11ubuntu5.2_11ubuntu5.3.diff.gz) on the files "/etc/issue" and "/etc/issue.net". Well, is that a problem under an "Armbian" point of view? Should I replace "Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS" with "Armbian 20.11.6 Focal" on the files "/etc/issue" and "/etc/issue.net"? Thanks.

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.

Hello, I'm new to the subject but I have a problem. I have an Orange Pi 3 and i want to install a linux based system on it to mess around with it. I tried to install armbian but with the nand-install-sata script I can't install it on my eMMC memory, since armbian doesn't see i have one. The only thing it offers me is to update the bootloader on the SD card. So i went to /dev/ and my eMMC memory isn't shown there. I just have mmcblk1 witch is my SD card and mmcblk0p1 wich is my armbian partition on the SD card and nothing else. I figured this was due to the fact that maybe this version of armbian didn't support emmc memory, so I tried with the foca…

Hello all, I was setting up a my favorite SBC of all time, the Orange Pi +2E, and I can't believe that I've been so oblivious to this issue for so long, and that there is no easy solution!!! OK, so I'm doing a massive hardware clearout, and I've getting to my OPI's. Part of this hardware clearout is to finish the project I started (if feasible and still useful). I have loads of approx. Intel DC 3000 series SATA drives around 80-200 GB, and I thought these would be perfect "user data" SSD's for each of the SSD's. But then I realized... and my heart sank as I realized this issue is a problem across most OPi boards after consulting the table. …

Do I need to delete these items to make the volume up/down keys work? I was also asssuming that pulseaudio is the default software for managing volume (not alsamixer). Do I ne…

Trying to download armbian for rockpi-4a, following the link https://redirect.armbian.com/rockpi-4a/ on https://www.armbian.com/rock-pi-4/ In one case, this resolves to https://mirrors.netix.net/armbian/dl/rockpi-4a/, which shows an empty directory except for an archive subdirectory that is empty too. clicking around through the armbian/dl folder, this seems to be only empty directories for any board. In another case, the redirect resolves to https://minio.k-space.ee/armbian which just returns XML gibberish.

Hello to everyone! I'm trying to solve the issue which is currently being discussed here and I've been forced to revert back to the ancient version in the title. The problem is that along with my OPi PC I use a cheap wireless adapter based on the MT7601. Here, I've found out that the support for these cards had been merged to upstream since 4.2 kernel versions indeed with Armbian Focal 5.10.4-sunxi it worked out of the box like a charm. Unfortunately, it isn't the case with the version I'm currently on, this adding another massive headache! I've found this really interesting thread where it is discussed how to add support for the MT7601. Everything went fine apart …

Hi, I have an issue that is irritating me, and I'm not sure what to do about it. So on the Helios64 page (I am also using it with the Kobol enclosure), they give you a simple command like this to use: picocom -b 1500000 /dev/ttyUSB0 This is so you can access a serial TTY without an Internet connection. My problem is that the "window size" is set back to 80x24 characters. I'm not sure why this happens. I've also noticed that it somehow sets "TERM=linux" instead of what I have in my host PC's "$TERM" which is "xterm-256color" Is this by design, or is there something strange going on that I don't understand…

Hi I've been looking for a live dist for my Orange Pi Plus2, but there really doesn't seem to be one. I installed Armbian with all software I need to a microsd and figured it must be possible to make the whole system read-only somehow. Would someone care to explain how this can be done?

I like armbian-debian but don't like that i can only do the checksum for the 'img.xz' and not the actual image. Once i extract the .img from the img.xz, i don't see how i can check the actual .img since there is no checksum for it; even though it is very difficult for malware to get on the .img, it is possible. I realize that if the .img.xz's checksum is good, then the .img image is good. But once I expose the .img to my computer, if there is malware unknowingly present, then the .img could become infected and I have no way to check it. My orangepiplus2e is 32-bit. Thanks

Hi all. I've just finished a new video where I show the gameplay of EmuElec on the Odroid HC4. I must say I'm amazed by how well it performs. It doesn't perform that much worse than the Odroid N2+. The biggest advantage is that you can use a normal 3.5" hard drive for your games library. The single USB2 port is enough to connect your controller. Here's my video.

I'm running Armbian 20.11.3 Buster on the Odroid N2 (kernel 5.9.14-meson64). I wanted information on memory pressure of the system, but I was surprised to see that pressure stall information (PSI) was not at /proc/pressure/memory. I then noticed that the PSI tool is not configured in the Armbian build. Specifically, the /boot/config-5.9.14-meson64 file contains "# CONFIG_PSI is not set" Why is pressure stall information not configured on Armbian? Are there better or other tools to provide this information? I briefly looked at free and /proc/meminfo, but I'm of the opinion that unused RAM is wasted and looking at free memory is not a good indicator if operation…
