Hello everybody, I am not using OpenMediaVault but I am trying to implement some of its feautures into my existing system based on Armbian Bullseye, running on ODROID HC-2. Is there any tutorial or HowTo available that explains steb-by-step how to install and setup auto-shutdown feauture and WOL? I'd like my odroid hc-2 shut-down when not in use (especially over night) and let it auto-start again whenever I access it via \\myhost\share or \\192.168.0.1\someshare. If that's not possible then I can live with sending a WOL magic packet manually. Any known tutorial avaible for doing this on a ODROID-HC2 ?

Hello! I`m very new on how SBC`s work, and wanna know if there`s some way to fix this situation: My audio is not actually being reproduced via the HDMI connection between my TV and my Orange Pi [Orange Pi 4 LTS]. I took a brief look at the solutions/instructions on the documentation page ((https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Fine-Tuning/#sound-output)), such as: # Check the available sound output options: pacmd list-sinks | less # The default will be marked with "*" # Press "q" to close # Define the new default sound output pacmd set-default-sink <NAME-OF-DESIRED-OPTION> but i only got this, and as far as i could test…

hi all, I was looking for some unified os for more "rpi zero" clones and found beautiful armbian; and I am quite new to linux still, longtime/decades windows user; to "dogfood", I am also considering use of armbian on my "tiny-big" uefi-x86 (now NUC10, but got now new amd ryzen7 8845hs gmktec nucbox k8 plus), so I tried as very first setup on that ryzen7 latest armbian "ubuntu gnome" - monitor output is attached, so far so good, although I dont know if everything around usb3/4 is working well (log contains some red messages, dont understand them) - it was only simple install, and I have this comments: https://www.gmktec.com/products/amd-ryzen-7-8845hs-mini-pc…

Let me start by saying thank you all for the great work, it is appreciated! So a bit of info first. board: firefly rk3399-pc pro ( yeah I know it’s old, but so am I!) os: armbian Debian trixie kernel: 6.18.35 Bear with me, last time I touched Linux, lilo and xfree86 were things… I installed the community supported rk3399-firefly as I didn’t find a better match for the pro. Most of the hardware worked with the major exception of the audio. No problem, the rk3399-roc-plus.dts had the correct audio for the board all I needed to do was switch the audio portion into the rk3399-firefly.dts (though other aspects including just booti…

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.

The Wi-Fi network was working fine, I saw all the wireless connections. But I did something in the upper right corner of the system (in my opinion, I unchecked the Wi-Fi network) and as a result I can't restore the WiFi network. I only have wired internet now., and in the upper right corner, please help me solve the problem.

Hi, It is very hard to start OS (community version, downloaded from here). The system doesn't start at all, if the keyboard is already attached. I've discovered some magic moment during the startup process, when I can attach keyboard and system goes further. In most of moments the boot process stops, as soon as I'm attaching the keyboard. Lines are scrolled too fast to let me note what moment is "successful". Also I've noticed that the chip is very hot, when the keyboard is attached. It's much colder when keyboard is detached. Another small issue is that functional keys don't work. Though Ctrl/Alt and other similar keys do. …

Hi Friends, I am trying to check mDNS and xmDNS services in our companies product. As part of that i am discovering the services of xmDNS using Avahi-discover.

But if i am try to announce the service with domain ".site" (Site local multicast). Avahi-discover is not able to discover the services and not querying the services. Can somebody give me some advice to solve this problem. Many thanks.

Hello, I run my program system as a service in console mode, so no login is needed. The Linux system starts up almost quietly after changes in boot.scr. The only "small" thing that needs a solution is the login prompt. How can I prevent login prompt from appearing? I've tried some autologin options I found for different Linux systems, but they didn't work for me. Any suggestion?

Hi, We are testing our orange pi one in critical external environments like warehouses, manufacturing and other. In some cases, even if the good case there is a misconnection between the sd card and the orange pi one. Connected in ssh i can access the orange pi but a lot of command cannot responde anymore, like ls, top, htop, tail and others. Even the reboot shows me the input-output-error, and the only way to reboot the hardware is using "echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger". When this happens, i tried create a cron with 'at' or background jobs using sh like './script.sh &' with the content "echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger" but still not works. …

Hello, I'm attempting to port an unknown rk3399 board to Linux from Android with kernerl 4.4. I managed to extract the devicetree and it's slowly coming along with poking arround and mixing and matching and comparing devicetrees (it's not easy but I got time ;-) ) The board uses a tc358775 converter for the lvds display since the rk3399 doesn't have one built in. With patch from here: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16747-orange-pi-4-kernel-510y-mipi-dsi-panel-sucessful/ it started to show some signs of life.

I installed Armbian 23.02.2 aarch64 running kernel 6.1.11-meson64 on Le Potato and the system is running great with xfce4 as the desktop. Once I shutdown or restart, upon restart to the desktop the monitor is clear from the left side to the middle of the screen but the last 1/3 of the screen on the right is slightly fuzzy like the its out of focus. There was no problem of this upon install and first boot of xfce4. I have tried running Armbian Buster image and it works just fine everytime with no issue the entire screen is crisp and clear. For some reason when I installed bullseye it only works once after initial install and setup and then on is fuzzy on the right 1/3 …

Hello, should I load any module for using SPI to communicate with NFC reader PN532? My device is opi one and itead PN532 nfc reader. BTW, If I try to use i2cdetect, dmesg get flooded by error message. Here is a part of error message :

Good day! I found some oddities with UART port driver. If I change the speed or the number of bits in the transmission, then everything works fine. But if I try to set the parity it does not sets. Not work modes: "EVEN, SPACE, MARK". Normal works only "NONE". Anyone faced similar problem? Tested under minicom and Java prorgam. The same result. p.s. I mean this modes sets only logical and does not sets physical. The device on other end always reports parity errors.

I'm currently designing a PCB which will use a nanopi duo board. Unfortunately it is not in stock at the moment so I can't order one yet to verify some measurements. Can someone (@guidol or @larry bank maybe?) who has one sitting on their desk please give me the following info; - Distance between headers. Total width is 1" so I guessed 0.9"... Is this correct? - length of the pin headers. So I know how high it will sit on the PCB - total height of the pins + PCB - is there anything on the bottom PCB which is higher than the plastic on the pin headers? In other words; can I push the whole module all the way down to a PCB and then only have …

Hi friends, I've been away from SBC's (and you) for two years. With covid-19 at hand and all family at home remote working/learning, I wanted to redesign my home-office network.

I've tried the apt update/upgrade and I'm still getting the same error. The output from th…

Hello! I met next problem: I need configure UART communication with baud rate 1 Mb/s (or 2 or 3). But internal clock of the bus is 1.5 MHz, and if i try to communicate with 1 Mb/s, error is too big. Is it possible somehow change internal clock of the uart? Or maybe any other possibilities how to configure such communication ? Or maybe you know any models with higher internal clock of the bus (Like on 6.5 MHz on raspberry pi 4, for example) ? Now one section is equal to 1.333 microseconds, but it should be 1.0 mcs. I found same topic at this forum, but it's no solution there: Thank you and have a good day

Hi, I try to connect a tft 240x240 display via SPI with my BPI m2zero and i am looking for a suitable library written in C. The display uses ST7789 driver and it will be used in combination with thermal camera. I've tried to use producers library for RPi https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/1.54inch_LCD_Module but the screen only blinks when i run a program with test bitmap. I tested it on Arduino and the display works fine. If someone was able to run such a display, can you share your library? Thanks for all the help

On my Banana Pi M5 Armbian Jammy has a strange device name assignment. BPi-M5 has internal 16GB eMMC normally named mmcblk0 and microSD named mmcblk1. Normally it boots from SD and if you install an OS like Raspberry OS for BPi into eMMC, you're still able to boot from SD another OS because RaspiOS maps device correctly. But when Armbian (i.e. Jammy) is installed into eMMC it changes eMMC device to mmcblk1 and SD to mmcblk0, and It prevents SD to boot. And if the eMMC OS corrupts and doesn't boot the SBC bricks and TTL connection is needed to erase boot record. To change OS it's necessary a command to delete boot record and SD on mmbl…

Previously I just edited /etc/network/interfaces (or added file to interfaces.d), but Ubuntu 18.04 uses Netplan now.

Hello, I have Banana Pi R2 with armbian bionic. Have two wlan cards both USB, both works. But earlier when I used openwrt on x86 my both wlan and lan were bridged and had one IP - which was router IP. Here with armbian wlan hotspot get other IP than armbian itself. Is there any way to change it to bridge? Or best practices is to leave it as is? regards, Maciek

I have a raspi hat (rak2245) that has 2 versions: a pi-hat version that has a 40 pin-header on it for raspberry pi's , but also a smaller stamp edition. It uses spi and uart to communicate with the pi. I have it running without issues on my orange pi zero, even though the pinheader is a little too large. And via a breadboard I can access all pins just fine. But since I am making my own PCB anyway, I am interested in using the stamp version. The only difference between the stamp and the pi-hat version (aside from the form-factor and pin-out) is that the pi-hat version has an additional eeprom chip to tell the rapsberry pi about the function of the pins apparently. Now…

Is there a way to share my Armbian screen with another computer, like I can do early with Ubuntu?

How can I do that with Armbian? Peter

Hi all, I'm looking for an sbc with low power consumption, but still able to run linux (arduino like solutions are somewhat unflexible, and take longer to configure). Basically it should be able to do rs232 and be able to store data to an sd card. It should be able to run approximately two weeks on batteries. Wifi/ethernet/hdmi are not required if there is a way to use a serial console (apart from the extra rs232 which is connected to our measuring device). I already own a banana pi (original) and raspberry pi zero (apart from other boards which draw much more power). Are there any boards I could check out that have significantly lower power u…

Hello, Is it possible to set the speed of the UART3 to 921600 baud instead of 115000? How to do it? I need to connect to an arduino at that speed. I have tried with minicom but I can't get it. I have also tried to put the following command dtoverlay=miniuart-bt in /boot/armbianEnv.tx but it doesn't work either. to 115000 if I can connect well, therefore the port works correctly Is there any way?

Hi Folks, this is just out of the blue but Armbian based on Devuan would be very cool. I find more manageable and predictable Devuan than Debian, I am slowing ditching Debian for Devuan, I recently tested both on some very little Linux compatible laptops and Devuan resulted in better compatibility and lesser weird issue with ACPI and LID operations. I use Runit as default init system and for desktop use I found it very stable: for instance when connected to the wifi printer if the printer goes in standby systemd is unable to reconnect to the scanner (you to restart sane) while runit is always on; there are plenty on these little cases where Devuan …

So one wifi adapter will connect to the hotel wifi, and the other will be in access point mode with dhcp for my devices to connect to. I think the proper terminology is AP-STA. So I have purchased one Comfast CF-953AX which uses the mt7921au chipset (0e8d:7961) to test in access point mode as it supports this: Supported interface modes: * managed * AP * AP/VLAN * monitor * P2P-client * P2P-GO The issue I have come across is the hostapd fails to start: nl80211: Failed to start radar dete…

Can't seem to get the USB redirector to work. I suspect I have to enable but am unsure of how to do that. I've tried a variety of methods to start the daemon to no effect (I am however new to Linux and systems). All I can bring up is this message. I'm using Ubuntu Trusty. ******************** ERROR *********************** Cannot connect to USB Redirector daemon. Please make sure usbsrvd is loaded. If the module is not loaded, please contact our support team. Error log can be found at /var/log/usbsrvd.log **************** **************** **************** Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello I just started using Armbian to try to salvage a Banana PI M2 that I had given up on more or less due to bad system images and lack of support from the maker. And so far the Armbian has solved all my problems that I had with the images from Banana PI, except..... I cannot get USB sticks to mount. I installed thunar-volman and tick marked Mount removable drives when hot-plugged, Mount removable drives when inserted, Browse removable media when inserted. Is there something I might be missing ? Thanks

We provided this week experimental Armbian images with mainline kernel for a few H3 boards. On the official download pages there are a few variants with 4.6.7 lurking around and here you find some with 4.7.2: http://kaiser-edv.de/tmp/w8JAAY/ Those for the NEO are also suitable for NanoPi M1 and OPi One/Lite, the one for OPi PC Plus can be used on any of the larger Oranges (no Ethernet on +/+2/+2E -- don't ask please, this is stuff for later) since they all use the same more sophisticated voltage regulator being able to adjust VDD_CPUX in 20mW steps (VDD_CPUX is the voltage the CPU cores are fed with). The procedure is called dynamic voltage frequency scaling and the id…

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…

Is it possible to include sysrq support in the beta kernel? Thanks.

There is a syntax error in the default created file. # armbian-config created source /etc/network/interfaces.d/* # Local loopback auto lo iface lo init loopback # Interface eth0 allow-hotplug eth0 no-auto-down eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp That's on stretch or jessie.

The nano pi core armbian image not have ethernet support I made the file with little modification to fix this. https://github.com/projetoarduino/armbian-nanopi-core

I am running the following OS: Linux renegade 4.4.156-rockchip64 #21 SMP Wed Sep 19 13:14:57 CEST 2018 aarch64 Hardware: Firefly ROC-RK3328-CC / Version 18.04.1 LTS (Bionic Beaver) MicroSD: 64GB The image I used was only 32GB. How do I reset it so it will resize/expand to the full MicroSD capacity? I have searched the forum and have tried what was suggested but they did not work.

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.

Hello! I am just trying to set up Armbian Buster on my Banana Pi and I am experiencing a strange problem with the keyboard settings: I choose de-UTF8 for system wide locale and system wide language, I set the keyboard to German, but still I couldn't type umlaute (öäü). If I typed "ä", nothing happens. If I typed "ü", it retrieved commands from the bash history, that I typed in earlier. If I typed ö", the input line displayed (arg: 6) After long search I finally found a kind of solution: if I uncomment this line in /etc/inputrc: # set convert-meta off I can type "öäü", but now I also can delete as many characters from …

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? …

EDIT: I tried to plug it directly in router and speed is OK now. Weird, but it's fine now. Please close this topic. Hello, I just bought Orange Pi 3 LTS to set it up as small off-site backup using OMV and USB HDD. I installed Armbian_23.02.2_Orangepi3-lts_bullseye_current_5.15.93.img on eMMC and installed OMV using armbian-config. I noticed SMB and FTP speeds are slow (around 90 Mbps) so I installed iperf to test it properly and speed is capped on 94 Mbps. I have gigabit switch and interface is connected with GE, if I plug the cable to other device, it works just fine. So there must be some issue on Orange Pi 3 LTS. I searched the internet and speed shoul…

I got Armbian 23.8.2 Bookworm with Linux 5.10.160-legacy-rk35xx successfully running on a couple of NanoPi R6S boxes. So far so good. Now I would like to use Wifi dongles (USB sticks) that I have on these machines. They use the `ath9k_htc` kernel driver. I have used this successfully on ARM-based machines earlier. However, Armbian does not provide this module. So I need to compile it myself (either obtain the exact sources that were used in the kernel I'm currently running, so I can recompile this single module or, perhaps more realistically, start a custom tree with the Armbian patches and config, from which I can rebuild on my own). I…

is anybody around here running an OpenBazaar-Server on a bananaPro ? I tried hard to get it running on Lubuntu, arch, raspbian but nothing worked out. there are lots of tutorials but they are not working for me an my banana. If there is a solution around with armbian on a bananaPro i would like to try it. Any experiences are welcome....

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

Just after writing the image on the SDcard, I start tuning rc.local and crontab. I have found that crontab is not run before first authentification; this is an issue, because I use crontab to handle my networking; and without networking, I can not know the IP of the pi, and I can't login. I have found that after first authentification, I am asked to change the root password, then I see /etc/update-motd.d/99-point-to-faq, then /etc/profile.d/check_first_login.sh (which includesuser account creatino), but not /etc/update-motd.d/41-armbian-config After second authentification, I can see /etc/update-motd.d/41-armbian-config and /etc/update-motd.d/99-po…

I am using 3 low light HD USB cameras (details on the link below) for my application. https://bluerobotics.com/store/sensors-sonars-cameras/cameras/cam-usb-low-light-r1/ The application requires me to have all 3 cameras live streaming simultaneously on 3 different local host ports of a PC. For the controller, I am using a Nanopi M4 (it is connected to my laptop by a 20m long, CAT-6 ethernet cable) I am using the motion package to work the cameras I have been facing the following issues- 1. When all 3 cameras are connected to controller and stream is checked, at any given time I am able to see the livestream of only 2 of the streams. On restarting motion, any one…

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?

I STFW now for hours but didn't find a solution to this: When I login to my new installed OdroidXU4 image of armbian minimal it says: [ Kernel and firmware upgrades disabled: armbian-config ] # armbian-config gives: 'command not found' So I searched for a way, a hint, an instruction how to enable those 'Kernel and firmware upgrades' without having to install 'armbian-config' with no avail. How can I archive this? Thank you in advance; Gerry

Few years ago I setup armbian with 5.4.85 kernel. now try to update from instructions: sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo armbian-config System->Other and got "No other kernels available!" Googling this error didn't help, and worst that I can't now install kernel headers Is there some update to current kernel (5.15) from bash? or linux build in common

Hi all, Testing some versions of the Armbian img for the latest Orange Pi 5 Plus, right now im using Armbian_23.8.2_Orangepi5-plus_jammy_legacy_5.10.160_gnome_desktop.img and noticed when Im RDP in from windows machine, the audio from the OPI it doesn't get played back through. I did noticed when re-login locally back on the same user account, the audio card shows "Dummy Output" and no audio from the 3.5mm port. Is there a fix for this ? even on another version ? I have tested a few and all appears same result. bookworm_legacy_5.10.160_cinnamon bookworm_legacy_5.10.160_gnome bookworm_legacy_5.10.160_xfce …

Hello, I'm looking to buy an ARM SBC with: Bluetooth Connection for monitor x3 CPU: x86 AMD Graphics integrated LAN x2 Mobo: I'm unsure on mini pc mobos, but needed? Power Ram: 16-32GB preferred Storage: small is fine 32GB-256GB, nothing large like 1TB USB for mouse USB for spare Wi-Fi for hotspot I usually use Raspberry Pi 5, however the Bananapi-M7 appears to have dual port, although I haven't confirmed the other requirements I need. The question is which OS do I download please? as per https://www.armbian.com/bananapi-m7/

Hi, my new Orange Pi has been set up with an external HDD. I've backed up my banana pi m1 with sudo tar cvpzf /mnt/BackupNas/backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys --exclude=/dev --exclude=/boot / and restored the files onto the external HDD on the OPI. A restart was successfully and the system appears to run smoothly. It now doesn't display the nice text after logging in via SSH. I am afraid that there are other important files overwritten. Does anybody know what I might have overwritten and needs to be restored from plain armbian? Thanks René

Greetings, I recently changed from an old loboris ubuntu distribution to armbian for my opi PC. I never had problems with it, it was just not getting updates for a long time since it's old and not a LTS. I never had problems with openvpn also.. installing from apt and creating ca's and users was a breeze. Now with armbian i simply cannot get it to work, i tried both with apt and compiling the latest version from source. I cannot get it to start. Doing systemctl start openvpn Job for openvpn.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status openvpn.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. journalctl -xe -- …

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 …
