Hi all, As I will buy a sunvell r69 board, which is H2 + EMMC, so I want to build armbian firmware for it. But I can not find the building config for H2 with EMMC, so how can I change the building config ? Thanks.

If i can not change the forgotten password, how can I copy over a new debian OS download to a microsd card without the password? I used to use something like "sudo cp name.OS dev/xx/xx". I haven't used debian in almost a year and forgot most commands, at least partially. I always use the command line in a terminal . Thanks!!

I've tried various methods. None work. What are the recommended Armbian ways to a) enable IPv6 temporary addresses b) disable IPv6 Thank you.

On a NanoPi Neo Air I would like to force a USB-connected SDcard reader (which natively uses 4-Bit transfer) to only use 1Bit mode. Any ideas how to configure the driver / device tree to do that?

Hi everybody, I have OrangePi PC Plus board, which has EMMC. I downloaded image from armbian website, as I want to instll armbian image to EMMC via USB with PhoenixSuit instead of instll_to_emmc command, but it failed. PhoenixSuit reported that it couldn't recognize the firmware. Is there any tools to insall Linux-like firmware to EMMC ? Thank you very much.

I’m trying to set up a lightweight desktop environment on Armbian Trixie. When I use tasksel, it installs a lot of extra packages, including GNOME. How can I install LXQt manually?

I just installed the official Armbian desktop image on my Orange Pi RV2. When I check with top or cat /proc/cpuinfo, the CPU frequency is stuck at 1.0 GHz all the time. How can I make it actually reach the full 1.5 GHz? Do I need to change some config file or install extra drivers?

Not that I ever got this working correctly on Raspbian, but how do I go about requiring a password for sudo? I am able to change the password via 'sudo passwd' without error, but I still don't know how to make the system request the password every time I sudo. Thanks so much Joe

Is there detailed info somewhere how to do so? Like I posted here I once prepared a new sd card with armbian, poped it in to have the system resize to full sd card storage and then restored the rsync backup. Back then I was successful restoring the backup on hummingboard. Now I tried with odroid hc2 backup via ssh. Turns out you have to be root on the client if you pull a backup via ssh, else the files and folders user,group and permission won't be transfered. Also after restore I changed the UUID in /etc/fstab to the new sd card. Since I first set up armbian with a fresh install I should also have u-boot on it. Unfortunately system does not boot on my o…

Hi, I'd like to setup log2ram so that it never writes to the disk, but rather discards all logs at shutdown. The documentation for log2ram says that if I delete /etc/cron.daily/log2ram it will only sync the logs to the disk at shutdown. But is there a way to have it not even do that? Also, in order to prevent log2ram from filling up all its space in RAM, is it possible to setup an overwrite mechanism so that the logs begin overwriting themselves once they hit the space limit?

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.

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 am a Grade 12 STEM Student, and right now I need someone's help on our Investigatory Project. Can someone help me on how to connect screen saver (turns off automatically when snoozing) and turns on when PIR Sensor detected something so that It saves power when not used. And I also need to know how do I connect it to the Smart TV because our project is basically an Interactive Board (The thing that you can find around malls which you can use to know specific locations around the mall.) What I have: 1. Orange Pi 2. PIR Sensor 3. Smart TV What I need: 1. A step-by-step procedure on how to do it. 2. What commands/codes to input (Right now, we are u…

Hello. I want to create an image for this Board: Allwinner R528-S3. You can find info about it here.

So I can see it in compile.sh program. I just want some general guidance on where to start. I've alrea…

I am trying to build an old debian stretch image for checking my BananaPi M3 boards. I had it and Jessie running fine for years, but buster is causing issues with soft boot and reboots failing. So wanted to check the boards integrity with stretch. I have tried git checkout -b v20.02 remotes/origin/v20.02 which I thought was around the right time but I am just getting Buster being offered. I am using Ububtu Jammy for building.

I am trying to connect to a 3D printer board using 3 wire serial, that is no CTS and RTS. I had a Wemos wifi module on it previously so I know it works. Now I need to use my BanaPi M2 Zero to control it thorough the same port, the Wemos has been removed and not going back. I keep getting a failure to initialize when I try to connect to the board. I am trying to use Pins 8 & 10 which is supposed to be UART 3 = /dev/ttyS3 from what I understand. Questions: How can I test the port? I have Minicom installed. How do I set the parameters to disable CTS and RTS? What flow control should I be using? Software? …

How do I disable SSH and then enable it later?

I managed to get my waveshare 2.8" SPI LCD (https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/2.8inch_RPi_LCD_(A)) to display console in an orangepi zero LTS board, using the DT overlay and instructions given here: My dts file has changes as explained in the comments of the attached waveshare_32b_28a_opipc2.dts file in that post.

Hi there, Orange Pi 5 user here, when I ssh into my Armbian installation remotely, it shows a nice welcome screen, with a bunch of facts like Uptime, Load, Temperature and so on I tried typing 'motd' but it says no command found I have 2 requests 1 - how do I display this manually, again, from a terminal? 2- is there a way to have this show when I open a terminal locally? it's useful to me thanks!

Greetings Docs say Yet I need to use Ubuntu 18.04 to compile. I'm not understanding - - - - Ubuntu 18.04 isn't Debian testing (11 or bullseye), it isn't Debian stable (10 or buster) - - - - so why do the docs say I can compile on Debian?

I am a beginner here and wanted to install Armbian onto my MXIII android box. This was my conversation with ChatGPT.

I have Armbian up and running on a Rock Pi S with a PoE HAT. To enable the audio jack on the PoE HAT I had to run the following commands as mentioned on the official Rock Pi S PoE Hat wiki. # echo 15 > /sys/class/gpio/export # echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio15/direction # echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio15/value Once enabled, the audio works as needed. However, every time the device is rebooted I have to SSH in and run these commands again to re-enable audio out which is obviously not ideal. How can I persist these changes between reboots?

It's finally happened to me. :-( Compiled Kernel 5.15.28 using the Armbian Build Framework. The two commands issued to update the SBC's kernel were: sudo dpkg -i linux-dtb-current-sunxi_22.05.0-trunk_armhf.deb sudo dpkg -i linux-image-current-sunxi_22.05.0-trunk_armhf.deb Rebooted the SBC and now it's stuck. Serial console shows the output quoted below and then goes no further. I have a Windows 10 system with Paragon Software's Linux File System for Windows driver so I can access the SD card and alter its contents. I updated the Kernel as has a suspected issue which may have turned out not to be the case. The qu…

I have a orange pi plus 2e The time was ok a few days ago but now it is off by - 12 hrs +53 minutes which is before gmt thanks for your help Dave Do I need to open a port in the router?

Yes, I managed to do this. Luckily I managed to re-enable the GDM3 graphical console on-start-up by using the debug serial port and then using the GUI through the TV to put the tick back to enable networking. Yep, very much a noob mistake. So, the question is when networking is disabled so eth0 and wlan0 disappear, leaving only lo, how do I get eth0 and wlan0 back just using the command line? I can't easily find how to do this. I've looked, I've searched and now .... help! :-) (I do also have the ability to put the MicroSD card into my laptop, so maybe it would be simpler to do that and change some configuration files to re-enable networking?) …

I have a raspberry pi camera attached to the tinkerboard. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to use it. Help?

Hello all! First of all, apologies for being such a noob but I am very eager to get started and there may be some ambiguous language here as a result. I am getting started in Armbian Linux Buster on the Pine A64+ and for my first project I'd like to program a 7 segment display (four digits) to display descending numbers from 1000. As you may know, 7-segment displays with more than one digit require the display to operate at a certain frequency in order to display multiple digits as a result of the common anode/cathode configuration. I have already played around with a simple LED and have gotten it to light up in armbian linux buster on the A64 (by defining the…

On X86 and AMD64 systems they all have either the UEFI bios or the old bios. I don't know what the Raspberry Pi uses but I don't think it's UEFI. Do any of the ARM systems use UEFI? How does Armbian boot on the non-UEFI systems?

Here on the forums it is often recommended to burn images using etcher. I am now wondering how etcher differs from for instance using dd or Win32Diskimager. Thanks in advance, giri

Hello, please, 1. how does nand-sata-install work in case my Armbian on microSD card is read-only mode? 2. Will nand-sata-install copy whole card to emmc or do I need to have read-write system on microSD card before I execute command? (I mean if it copy my OS from card properly and it will be also in read-only mode on emmc) 3. And I am I able somehow to write system to emmc from *.img file stored on sd card? Many thanks

Is every 6 hours a good interval to fstrim an SD card? Is it safe for the SD card to be TRIMed often? I know that SD card trimming is not like TRIM on an SSD, but the operation performed on a SD card that supports CMD38 performs a similar function, to tell the SD card which pages do not contain valid data.

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 am trying to use my espressobin board which currently runs Bionic with Hauppauge USB DVB-T tuner. It seems the default kernel does not have a module for it. How do I build and use it? Can I build the module on the same device or should I use another machine for that? Kind regards Andrius

I am running a Plex Media Server on a headless Orange Pi PC Plus with Armbian Ubuntu server. So far I’ve been able to configure fstab on the server to mount the NAS at boot. That seems to work fine. However, the problem I have is when I have a power failure and everthing reboots at the same time, the server boots before my NAS. I then have to ssh in and run “sudo mount -a”. Is there a way to have the server detect and mount the NAS whenever it’s available to the network?

Hello, I'm connecting to my Armbian system from Gentoo boxes but Arbian takes a full controle of remote xterm. Consequently, impossible for me to do some copy/past using my mouse. How to avoid that ? Thanks Laurent

I have built my armbian system on a Renegade board, and I need to back up the entire system so that I can copy it to other sdcards. I tried to use Win32DiskImager.exe to read out the system, but the size of the image read out is much larger than the space occupied by the system, which is basically equal to the size of the card. Any good suggestions?

From time to time I want to change the SDcards on my boards, for one reason or another. So, in order to transfer the Armbian filesystem I dd from the first sdcard and later dd to the second, a very slow process. I think it would be faster to: Partition and mkfs the new sdcard Copy/tar/rsync the armbian filesystem But no board won't boot that sdcard. So I'm missing a crucial step, maybe it has something to do with u-boot?

Hi I am building armbian image for Nanopi Neo. I need to include SWUpdate package in my armbian build. The already built SWUpdate package does not work for me, because I need to disable CONFIG_SIGNED_IMAGES. As far as I understand, I need to rebuild SWUpdate inside the armbian build system. Can you please help me to understand where I should write commands to build SWUpdate from source (git repo), so that armbian build system will put the built binary and libraries into the resulting image?

Hi! I'm sorry if the answer to my question is already documented somewhere, but I couldn't find it. I am trying to figure out how to build a specific release. My understanding is that you checkout the desired tag of the armbian/build repo and just build it. However, when I do this with v24.2.1 the image that comes out is named 24.5.0-trunk. Changing the version in the VERSION file (by default set to 24.5.0-trunk) changes the name of the output image, but it is not clear to me if that affects other things than just this. So basically, now I am confused which scenario is correct: Is using the armbian/build tag the correct …

Hi all, I'm looking for an option to change the kernel options for NFS/lockd in Armbian. lockd.nlm_tcpport=N lockd.nlm_udpport=M In Bananian I had to edit the file /dev/mmcblk0p1/uEnv.txt to set these ports to 4002. How do I do this in Armbian? See also: http://redsymbol.net/linux-kernel-boot-parameters/ Regards - Oliver

Hello dear Armbian Community, I've been trying to get a custom M.2 PCIe Adapter Board, based on the ASMedia ASM1182e PCIe Packet Switch, to work for a couple of days on my NanoPi M4V2. After solving a few other issues, where it didn't even finish pci link training, it's finally being sort-of-recognized by the SBC (Atleast PCI ID [1b21:1182] is being read). But now, whenever the Adapter is plugged into the SBC, it doesn't boot and aborts with a kernel panic. I've read about this issue already in other forums and it seems to be a common problem with the PCIe Implementation on the RK3399. Usually, one just implements a delay between pci link training and scanning…

Hi Guys, I put this script in profile.d and my machine can't launch to the desktop. #!/bin/bash while true do str=`ls /home/lufa/Shared/QT/myapp* | sort -n -t _ -k 2 | tail -n1` if [ ! `pgrep $str` ] ; then $str fi sleep 30 done It seems that this file prevent to run desktop. I can't connect to my board by UART terminal and WiFi What is your suggestion? I am thinking to explore SD card, then change in this script true->false and then it should work. However, what tools can I use to explore the SD card which contains OS image? And is it a fully safe way? Or maybe I should mount this SD card on some other linux device and I will able to edit it?? …

Hello, this question is not armbian specific but I am dealing with it while using armbian. I have 8GB microsd card but my armbian is using just 1.5GB on it. Now I need to clone/copy this card. I use win32diskimager (on windows) but disadvantage this approach is, that it makes bytedata image file (all 8GB of the whole microsd card even with blank space) but my data have 1.5GB only. Is there any utility/software which makes image with 1.5GB only? I mean when I burn 8GB image size after that to another microsd card, it takes 5x more time to finish as if I could burn just 1.5GB image. I think it must be able to do it somehow, because armbian images has abou…

Hi! I want copy Armbian from eMMC to sd card, someone can help? Thanks!

Hello; on OrangePi Zero LTS I have completely stupid values for CPU temperature. They were all reasonable for pre-LTS boards. I have read somewhere that this is a known bug. A kernel patch is probably available, but even if it's the case,I can not update my kernel. Where can I find the algorythm to compensate the value ? It's easier for me to fix the issue in userland code, rather than updating kernel. How can I distinguish between pre-LTS and LTS boards ? Maybe MAC address for LTS are always in a given range ? I have a legacy board with MAC 12:42:98:f9:c8:XX, and a LTS with 12:42:3a:63:04:XX (unfortunately the LTS has a lower MAC :/ does not seem chronologica…

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)?

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`)

I've tried to compile libgpiod (my assumption is this is a user space lib) and it depends on gpio.h which is used by the kernel. According to https://github.com/brgl/libgpiod/issues/22 gpio.h should be installed with linux-libc-dev which is already installed and gpio.h is missing. I installed the kernel headers and tried (it ends up with typedef conflicts): ./autogen.sh --enable-tools=yes --prefix=/usr/local CFLAGS="-I/usr/src/linux-headers-4.14.14-sunxi/arch/arm/include -I/usr/src/linux-headers-4.14.14-sunxi/include" configure: error: linux/gpio.h header not found (needed to build the library) I've attached the config.log. Maybe I'm to…

Hi, I have a generic brand tvbox (Nilox NXBAP210101) and I would like to compile the Ubuntu xenial version of Armbian. I tried some image of armbian for Olimex from MicroSD and start but I do not have WiFi or LAN and then I did some research on my hardware. This tvbox seems to be an i12-tvbox in fact has the following hardware components: CPU Allwinner A20 1GB Ram DDR3 (512MB x2) N2CB4G16BP-DI 4GB NAND Flash Memory H27UBG8T2BTR 10/100Mbps Ethernet ICplus IP101A 802.11b/g/n WiFi + BT4.0 Ampak AP6210 IR Receiver I would love to use this device fully and then I would like to be able to recompile the distro for my hardware. …

Hello, I've searched through various threads on here and can find no comprehensive answer on how to disable log2ram completely, forever, and preferably end up with only one /var/log with mainstream logrotate settings. This is for a situation where I'm using an actual hard drive and don't need to worry about destroying flash memory. I suspect it is more involved than just 'systemctl disable log2ram'. Any additional pointers would be very helpful, thank you!

Hello, have not been able to find any information regarding this topic. What do I need to do to make the HC-05 bt-module work over GPIO? Can anyone here guide me in the right direction?

I have nanopi-m1 and use Armbian-5.30(Ubuntu server 16.04/ Linux nanopim1 3.4.113-sun8i).

I did try to upgrade to Stretch but I was missing some repositories. Now I'm trying to install a fresh Armbian Stretch version but on first boot SSH is not enabled. How can I configure armbian ? I cannot connect keyboard/screen. Maybe there is another way to do it ? Other armbian/debian images ? Does anyone have a solution ?

Hello all, I am unsuccessful in setting up FDE (Full-Disk-Encryption) on an ODROID HC-2. This device has no display output and I have no clue if and how it's possible to debug the boot issue. The boot is done through the micro-SD card and I can mount the micro-SD card successfully on any other host for insight. Is there any known trick how to see what fails during the boot process? How can I do this?

When I turn my Orange Pi 5 on, it auto-logins to the desktop which I do not want. I tried looking at nodm and lightdm but couldn't find either. I would like to disable this as it is a security concern. On a side note, as a feature request, this should be disabled by default or else something prompted for during the first time setup.
