I think my level of proficiency with armbian has earned me an "ignore" status here :-) I am trying to configure the serial port on a Banana Pi M2 Zero. I have done it a Raspberry PI and confirmed that all works well. Can anyone help me with he following questions? How do I enable the UART for GPIO 14 & 15 (Pins 8, 10)? How do disable serial console mode (had to do this in raspbian)? How do I disable RTS and CTS using parameters? I will donate $20 as soon as a UART connection is made.

Hi All, I just want to ask what is the format of rootfs after writing it to nand? it is in ubifs? Thanks

Now that xradio has been enabled on kernel 6.x, I'm ready to upgrade my Orange Pi Zero that I've been keeping on 23.02 with kernel 5.x. With armbian-config I've unfrozen kernel/firmware updates and after apt upgrade and reboot I am on kernel 6.1.53 and wifi is working! But boot message says I'm still on 23.02, and apt says that armbian-bsp-cli-orangepizero is being kept back. Now trying: $ sudo apt install armbian-bsp-cli-orangepizero [...] Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been mo…

Hello! I bought an Orange Pi PC about two years ago which is still working perfectly to this day (very happy with it), but I am curious to know what would be considered the 'best' Single Board Computer at this time point time, which would be around the same price range ($15 USD). 'Best' being defined as having a decent processor, and good software support - which the Orange Pi PC eventually did. I'm tempted to just buy another one of these for another project, but interested to know. Again, the main factor is price - $15 USD or less would be ideal.

Hi guys, I am trying to connect my orangePi internet with ethernet cable but nothing works I tried every way but still I have no internet So please help me. Here are the solutions I tried: 1) I open the share settings from Wifi properties and connect the pi to Pc with normal ethernet cable 2)Bridge the ethernet and wifi 3) installed samba in orange pi and I have nothing OrangePi's ethernet leds are running but no internet I have one last solution , buying a wifi module and connect to wifi with it but I have no idea about wifi modules. Sorry for my english.

Hi, I'm having encountering the above errors, it is persistent with every boot. It occured both on buster and on buster-minimal. Note that specifically the micrel kmod fails verification, but because it shares a signature with many (all?) kmods, I assume it applies for them all. See output of dmesg below.

I guess my application is IOT - I am getting data via USB and SPI, report status via GPIO LEDs and upload data to the internet. I am enjoying raspberrypi 3B but it's huge and relatively expensive. I am trying to return Orange Pi 2G IOT since it's a disaster. Looks like Orange Pi Zero for a bit under $20 would not be a disaster? Are there other boards to consider if I care about physical size and price?

Hi everybody With freshly installed armbian (commit id: d9fb61be0) I created a new uboot config file: ./compile.sh uboot-config BOARD=orangepizeroplus BRANCH=current SHARE_LOG=yes This creates the file: ./output/defconfig-uboot-orangepizeroplus-current But the command: ./compile.sh uboot BOARD=orangepizeroplus BRANCH=current SHARE_LOG=yes does not compile uboot, it just touches ./output/debs/linux-u-boot-orangepizeroplus-current_26.11.0-trunk_arm64__2026.07-*.deb file. Do I miss something? Do I have to copy the file ./output/defconfig-uboot-orangepizeroplus-current to a place in ./userpatches? …

Do you guys think/know if this would work on a Orange pi. https://github.com/riptidewave93/RFLED-Server It seems to be written in golang, I don't know how is it with the gpio's if stuff is written in golang. Well here its UART stuff actually but you get the picture..

Greetings, I'm attempting to apply a custom patch during the build process for a bananapi-m2-zero. (specifically, DTS changes) I went into the kernel source, and created a diff, and put it in the user customized patches directory. Unfortunately, the patch failed. So, I dug into it, and discovered the source changes because of patches in the armbian patches/ directory. So, instead I started the build, let these patches apply,, and aborted the build. Then I created the diff again. Sadly, the patch is still being rejected. Now, I might be able to fight with this, and make it work. But the next time I pull a new update it could be broken a…

does anyone know of a version of armbian that would work on a samsung galaxy book go with a snapdragon 7c gen2? i traid the generic version and it booted to the grub, and then it restarted like all other distros i've tried. i can not find a distro to boot on this dang thing. anyone have any ideas on what to do or try? i've hit a dead end i gotta dig deeper to figure something out, so any thoughts on this would be helpful .. thanks in advance

I am looking for alternative working image, better than on official web pages. I know story about Allwinner and its software support but do you know smthing alternative working image? If I remember when I bough this board about year ago it had problem with overheating (H3 chip on 1.6ghz) and shutdowning cores and I must enable it manually even cpu temperature returned back to safe value.

Hi all, I have a strange problem, when I make any file system changes, I can count to 10, pull out the power, and my changes are lost. My application sometimes requires changing of a settings file, and then quickish disconnection of power by the user (I know its not good, but it's a fact of the product) My current solution is to flush the write cache when I save the settings, I forget the command name, but that isn't ideal as other changes such as logging is lost. I'm using the armbian debian release at the moment. How can I change this write-cache timing to something like 2 seconds? Also, is this an SD-card technology issue or will the issue…

Hello. I use Retrorange Pi on Orange pi pc+ and the kernel includes a uinput module for implementing console utility management from the gamepad. Unfortunately, in this 5.3.0-dev-rc8 core, the CPU temperature information does not work. I switched kernel to 5.4.20-current via armbian-config. In this kernel, the cpu temp readings work, but unfortunately, there is no uinput in the modules. Can I somehow build this module separately for 5.4.20-current without recompiling the entire kernel? Or is it possible for respected developers to re-enable the module in future kernel releases? With best regards, Sergey

Download section for Orange PI One Plus ( https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-one-plus/ ) appears to be malformed / cut-off somehow at second image (Jammy XFCE) where content ends after "h" from "SHA hash ..." line.

Hello. I have a task: «Find fail-safety, high stability SBC device, which can work 24/7/365» For the past year I have been monitoring for 30 Orange PI PC2 device`s in different locations. (I used Armbian images on all device`s and very like it.) I observe the following errors: -deadlock (I can repeat by set low voltage on laboratory power supply.

My OPi Zero is not accessible via SSH after installing the new supported image Armbian 22.02 Jammy. After the install, the device is up and ping-able. Any attempt to SSH in with `ssh root@<ip-address>` ends in a `ssh: connect to host 192.168.88.9 port 22: Connection timed out` error. When I reboot the board and try again, it's still the same issue. A ping with `ping 192.168.88.9` works. For completeness, I tried also with the edge instead of the current jammy image. Same error.

Basically I'm confused I want to download. I need someone's help on this. I looked up the download multiple times and I still have not found it.

Hi: I am new to Armbian Buster. I understand the legacy h3consumption is gone now. I wonder if I can do something similar under Armbian Buster like: 1. only allow 1 or 2 core 2. lower ram frequency 3. disable hdmi

Good day, I hope i'am posting into the correct subforum, anyway i just wanted to know if the armbian OS can support a USB Webcam, because I'm writing a research about the feasibility of this OS + plus board to be an alternative to laptops to cater basic educational operations like, video conferencing(google meet) , word processing , spreadsheet and presentation workload. Apologies to my written english as it's not my native language. Thanks! Mike

First off this is not a Rockpro64 it is a Rock64 Ver. 2 which the tags field would not let me enter. A couple years ago when I first started playing with the Rock64, I briefly used armbian as the OS. The flickering video was annoying so later I tried Manjaro which worked fairly well. Recently the (Manjaro/Arch) updates (as well as latest images) completely break the HDMI output. Since the system was rendered usless, I downloaded the latest Armbian Jammy hoping for better results. The image loaded from SD fine, I did updates manually fine, and it rebooted fine. The only problem I experience is that that anoying HDMI video flicker. It's worse when there is any s…

Just installed Armbian_21.05.1_Orangepipc2_buster_current_5.10.34 plus kernel headers and am now trying to build some kernel modules for it on the device itself, but the build script is complaining: File not found: /lib/modules/5.10.34-sunxi64/build/.config at ./scripts/make_kconfig.pl line 33, <IN> line 4. Is there any place where I can find this file for the stock kernel? Or a procedure for generating it myself? Many thanks.

I've installed the OPI 4 image awhile ago for my PI as that was the only one available. I've since installed just the kernel targeting this model.

A few weeks ago I installed the minimal Armbian Bookworm image on a Odroid M1. The installed kernel was 6.6.31 The current minimal version for this board is 24.5.3 with kernel 6.6.36 After running apt update and apt dist-upgrade the kernel updated to version 6.6.32 which was build more then one month ago. I also used armbian-config to update the firmware in hopes that this covers the kernel as well but I am still stuck with the old kernel. What am I doing wrong? And how can I actually update the entire software, including the kernel to the most recent release without manually reinstallig the entire system?

Hi everyone, I tried to compile some program using neon optimization on odroid C2 with the following arguments in CMake : IF(IS_ARM) SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -O3 -mfpu='neon' -march=armv8-a") But gives me an error not recognizing the command -mfpu='neon' . Is there a way I give still activate this instruction optimization or should I give up NEON support for the moment ? Thanks !

Hi, Now that I have my NanoPC-T4 working with hardware 3D acceleration, 1080p video playback, full development environment on NVMe, Think it's time for a backup. Has anyone found a usefull utility ? Or should I just use dd to dump the eMMC partions to image files on a USB attached drive and rsync to backup the NVMe the the same ? I'd imagine to restore just boot from an install image, don't install, just dd the images to their repective eMMC partitions and rysnc to restore. Has anyone had to restore a board and how well did your solution work for you ?

Basically my box is a h96 pro + (amlogic s912) and I'm trying to run prime video / netflix, but it is not possible since it is only possible to extract widevine in the arm-32bits version. I searched here on the forum and found nothing about it, so I ask for help.

Hello, I installed Retroarch from the repos, tried to install a "core" from the Retroarch updater but no cores were available. I searched about that if the installed version is too old no cores will be available, so I added the Retroarch ppa and installed the newest version, but got the same problem. Does Retroarch work under Armbian? Do I need to manually install "core" binaries? If so, where can I get them? Thanks.

Hello, I just installed Armbian on my Tinker board. I use the internal wifi and another wifi usb dongle (static ip). The wifi usb receives a name wlx**** in ifconfig and the internal wifi module has wlan0. I want to have wlan1 instead of wlx***. So I checked https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ Tried the option using dev/null and setting the net.ifnames parameter. I tried in /boot/ArmBianEnv.txt to set net.ifnames=0 parameter. Nothing works. Would be happy, if someone knows how to change this on Armbian. Thank you very much

Hello, initially, I would like to thank the Armbian project for making many of these SBCs that aren't so common usable with such a good distribution. I'm using a Banana Pi M2 Zero, and the manufacturer provided Android image didn't boot at all and I got concerned I had a brick. However, Armbian has multiple images for this board available and, right now, this board is running Armbian 21.08.6 Focal using the kernel Linux 5.10.60-sunxi. The performance difference compared to a Raspberry Pi Zero is dramatic. And it even has a Mali 400! Step by step, I'm getting more features on the board working, either by reading Armbian documentation or user contributions. From…

RPi has this interrupt driven GPIO input detection GPIO.add_event_detect(pin_number, GPIO.BOTH, callback=callback_function) Orange Pi has already this python GPIO function https://github.com/duxingkei33/orangepi_PC_gpio_pyH3 But I see only gpio.input(pin_number) function for GPIO input detection Anybody can answer whether possible to substitute RPi interrupt driven GPIO input detection?

Hi guys, I am trying to use TP-Link dongle WN722N v3 as an access point . I am using Nano Pi Neo Core EMMC with expansion board running Armbian Buster with Linux 5.3.9-sunxi .

Hi, i have ordered complete new Hardware: - Raspberry 5 with 2GB, - USB-C NVME Case with RTL9201 chip and - NVME M.2 SSD: Kingspec NE-128 2280 with 128GB If I attached the M2 Case the SSD will not be detected (sda1) also not on an other PC. So now I don't know, what is defect (Case or SSD). I checked the Setting of the SSD in the case several times. Is there anything else, that I can do?

Hi guy's, trying to get my hdmi screen to work on some board (not really relevant but board is orangepi on and lcd is "7inch hdmi lcd (c), usb capacitive touch screen, 1024x600, rev 2.1" - the box it came in states brand is "waveshare") with armbian and I'm having issues. I don't care too much of getting screen to work "ideally", having txt console working is all I need. When I turn the board on I see everything properly, background is, as expected black, letters are white + some colors, it starts the booting process, looks for mmc controller, ethernet etc etc.. then it finds the kernel and start loading it and then - puf, the screen is gone... depending on what h3disp op…

I'm running Armbian on an Orange PI zero and I want to change the default ftp port because I have another device on my network that uses ftp and I want to forward the port. FTP seems switched on by default, I didn't install it so I don't know which ftp program it is.

Can someone please help me? I have a banana pi M3 board, and once got an Armbian image in this site https://www.armbian.com/bananapi-m3/ , and loved it! used it for a year, then my SDCARD have an issue, when i came to get the image link again all the links disappeared from the page, these images arent availble anymore? can someone please help me find an armbian image for bananapi m3 again?

Would passive cooling be any good for OrangePi PC Plus? Or active cooling is better suited?

Hello, as i didn't found a perfect UI for my cubie and me and i always liked the look and feel of crunchbang, i developed a little script in the past to bring #! to my cubietruck. It should also work on every other debian based image, but i mainly targeted igor's image since it seemed to be the best base to start from. NOTICE: crunchbang has EOL-status, no updates coming from them! I mainly use it even though, because its very fast and stable on my cubie. This script could be injected into building process or can be run on a fresh 'install'. Just use the get_crunchy.sh script and relax or download the image from second post. It's tested on debian jessie and wheezy…

Hello everyone. I've upgraded my Cubietruck from Xenial to Noble Ubuntu using supplied image on https://www.armbian.com/cubietruck/ . Thank you by the way for uncomplicated installation, worked just fine. Now to the problem: Cubietruck continues to hang (or shut down, I don't know exactly on the same time in a few days turn.

I use this method and it works like a charm: void setup(){ pinMode(0,INPUT); pinMode(1,INPUT); } void loop(){ } Just upload this code, and connect GND to GND, TX to RX and RX to TX, then connect your Arduino to your computer, it will get a name like COM3, connect that com port, and you're in! You can also use PuTTY for connecting to the com port. Spoiler

Running Armbian on a Rock64 (RK3328) board and in turn running pihole for DNS. I cannot seem to be able to get rid of the secondary IP address that is pulling from DHCP. the main static address I set duing pihole setup is 10.4.5.2. Any way to remove the 10.4.5.98? ifconfig from terminal only shows the .98 address.

Hi, I built a second nas from rockpi4 and as I used the 12V plug to power the tower, I thought, I could use an old pc power supply to drive both. But when I start both nas from the same power supply, both will crash. Any idea, how I could avoid that crash and stil use only one power supply? Maybe add some electronic components?

After installing Armbian_23.2.1_Rock-5b_bookworm_legacy_5.10.160_xfce_desktop.img I found a nagging error each start of Firefox. "Failed to read the configuration file. Please contact your system administrator." Looking at internet with Google I found hardly any link referring to linux or armbian, therefore I still don't know which configuration file was actually missing or damaged. The only link I found with armbian in it contained some very obscure editting of some configuration files (just like many proposed Windows solutions). The issue: where does it go wrong? The problem is some configuration clutter somewhere in /usr/lib/firef…

Hi, I bought a OrangePi Zero, burned the latest image on a good SD card, and started it. I bought a hat with a video output, but I don't have the right cables yet. So...

root@nanopct4:/boot/overlay-user# armbian-add-overlay lcd-mipi-opi4.dts Armbian is not installed properly. Missing armbian-release or armbianEnv.txt I found 22.08 using extlinux.conf instead of the legacy set of boot.scr + text files. That will miss overlay function when using extlinux ?

I build a device with several buttons, sensors etc. Implemented in python. I selected WiringOP for GPIO and installed it with some tweaking. First version is implemented in polling mode. Whenever I start interrupt driven code, I got stuck. No such support as far as I can see. How can I handle this? Thanks

In need of a download url: orangepiplus2e debian buster; 32-bit.; saving to micro-sd, as in the past. Would like to download all 3 for debian buster 10.5.0: kde, gnome, cinnamon. - "if they exist". I tried the old link I used to download from that worked well: "https://dl.armbian.com/orangepiplus2e/Debian_Buster_Next_Desktop.7z" but 404 now. Would like to know where I could find the checksums too should someone know where they are. Thank you!

Hi, I downloaded Armbian 4.14.14 and I installed it on my Banana PI. Then I configured it to act as Gateway/Firewall. Now, just before I start active using it, I wanted to backup the installation on a second SD-card, just in case... I buyed a Toshiba 8GB Class 10 and I started to copy the data from my "old" SD-Card (SanDisk 8GB Class 10), first with Linux using dd, then under Windows using Win32DiskImager. Always the same problem: if I boot the Banana PI with the new card the system boots and, before I get the login screen, the system restarts in a loop... With the "old" card of course it works... Can someone …

Hi guys! What do you think about submitting the Armbian project to the DistroWatch.com website?

I'm trying to get VPU acceleration on Manjaro ARM and I'm having trouble figuring out how Armbian is able to leverage the VPU with Hantro still incomplete. I know it uses RKMPP but I don't know which driver or patches I need to enable it in the Kernel and DTS. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hi! I installed libhybris on my armbian 19.11.5 (kernel 5.5.0) to use mali user space drivers from android. After done, I have verified that my system can not run armhf, so not calling libhybris libEGL.so. I already ran apt --add-architecture armhf; update; install libc6:armhf, but still can not run 32-bit armhf, why?

Hi, need some help here.

Hello friends, I have a project made in QT Creator and I would like to know how I can put the developed interface to work on my OrangePi 4 and if it's possible to boot the interface when turning on the OrangePi. Best regards!

Hello, I'm picking up my pine64 SBC for the first time in a long while. I want to have an always-on linux system for some home projects and this board ought to work nicely as I don't need any desktop running on it. Looking over the OS images available I decided to give opensuse a try; got it installed and running with no trouble. But it seems the 1.344GHz max speed of the board can't be enabled on this build, as the scaling_max_freq is set to 1.152GHz and no amount of "cpupower frequency-set -g ondemand -u 1344000" will convince it to go above 1.152GHz. I can go lower, just not higher. pine64:~ # cpupower frequency-set -g ondemand -u 1104000 Setting cpu: 0…

Usually, when I configure SBC devices (in particular headless as the OPI Zero), what I do is to disable NetworkManager (even uninstalling it) and to provide a basic standard configuration on /etc/network/interfaces. However, I am noticing that the NetworkManager it is becoming more and more interleaved on the standard Linux configuration (as it is happening with systemd). In fact, my thought is that NetworkManager it is more a desktop thing than a server one. My question is: What is the right method to configure static servers, having unmovable IP addresses, routes and these types of things, with current and future Armbian releases? If it is nec…

Hi, i have installed the latest Armbian 23.5 Jammy on my opi+2e and since then, only the top left of the screen is showing text, like if the screen is divided in 4 and only the upper left is showing login screen and text. If I try to install a desktop environment, everything goes full screen, but I see the mouse cursor of login screen overlapped to desktop, so i have two mouse cursors: one fixed and the other that can be moved. WTF is going on? Why don't you test the images before you publish?

Hy i use octoprint on my orange pi. Now i need to resart and shutdown the system by octoprint.

I just installed Armbian 4.2 and then upgraded it to Armbian 4.6 using the Armbian APT repositories. I am running Debian Jessie with the sunxi kernel 3.4.109 on a Cubieboard 2.

I have been using my OPi 5 for several months with Armbian on my NVMe ssd. I decided to shift my SSDs around, and removed the one that was in my OPi5 and put in a new one. I burned the latest Armbian 23.8 Bookworm Cinnamon dated Aug 31, 2023 using BalenaEtcher onto an SD card, put it in the OPi5, and it booted fine. I did apt update and upgrade, no problems. I ran nand-sata-install hoping to transfer the system to the ssd and it failed. My memory is fuzzy due to panic setting in, but I tried the Jameschambers process to copy the system over, and then tried to boot off the ssd card, and it failed. When I tried armbian-config it failed to update the MTD and reported no s…

Hi, Does anyone worked with mesh module? I have bought a wireless sensor for the impact detection monitoring system, the sensor consists of the wireless module and looking for better way to connect these wireless sensor transmitter through the receiver and share the readings with designed UI in Orange PI, Any useful advice to make the wireless module compatible will be very helpful.

Hi everyone! First thank you for providing this beautiful piece of software, Armbian rocks! I am running Armbian 22.02 Bullseye on my Odroid HC4.

This week I installed Armbian on three BananaPi M5s. The OS ran fine from SD card, but once installed to emmc (using armbian-config) the system booted with a message that the file space available was zero. In the case of one of the boards I found an 8GB .img file in /media/my userid/. I assumed it was a copy of the 8GB SD card, and I deleted it. The system is fine now. But in the case of the other two I have yet to determine what is consumbing all the file space. There are two empty directoris in /media (mmcboot and mmcroot). Any idea what is causing this and more importantly how to fix the two existing systems? Thanks, Paul

Hi there, I am new to the community, but read it for quite a while. I try to bring my own smart mirror project to life. So far everything runs good and I am pretty impressed with all the efforts you guys put into Armbian. There is one little thing that I can't solve my own (due to limited coding capabilities). The supported resolutions doesn't offer the one supported by my 10,1" Tontec display. It is connected via HDMI and offer a resolution of 1280 x 800px. Where 1280 x 720px work it stretches the content, which makes small copy unreadable. I found several threads where users discussed about this resolution. Would it be possible to make this reso…
