Sorry for my stupid question. If I connect by TTL to USB adapter, after setting up login/password, terminal is freezing. Board is Nanopi NOE2. I think this is due to the fact that my adapter is warm or not of poor quality. While I order a new one, is there a way to enable ssh access over the lan network?

Hello, I have just updated the latest kernel available on my sbc orangepi+2e with the armbian-config tool and after that it no longer boots. After plugging in the serial port it complains "## Executing script at 44000000 Wrong Ramdisk Image Format Ramdisk image is corrupt or invalid". How can I fix it without having to reinstall everything? I run home-assistant and all the data is on emmc.

Hi, I built and successfully installed Armbian with Cryptroot SSH unlock. Now I wanted to have everything on SATA SSD, but when I run nand-sata-install I get the following message: This tool must run from SD-card! How could I have everything on my SATA SSD?

I am using a VM Appliance with pre setup build etc. its from past year. When tested to compile uboot/kernel below error appears `fatal: unable to access 'https://gitlab.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot.git/': server certificate verification failed.`

If I am using SSH over a WIFI connection and then plug in the ethernet cable, then I lose my SSH connection. Simply disconnecting the cable doesn't resolve the issue; I need to reboot without the ethernet cable connected to reestablish the SSH over WIFI. The system diagnosis is here.

I'm using the Openmediavault+ARMbian image provided by Tkaiser. When I go to armbian-config --> System there is no 'Install - installs to SATA, eMMC, NAND or USB' option (according ARMBian documentation it should be there ). Just checked at a Odroid HC1 and a Banana pi 1, both running the "same" Openmediavault+ARMbian ROM. They also don't have the option van 'Install' option available. @Igor, @tkaiser is this option moved to a different location? Or just not present for the Openmedivault+ARMbian combo?

Hello, Thanks to the help here I got to install a latest armbian mainline version with the Lima OpenGL 2.1 support functional that might have not helped the desktop but is still nice to see the o.s. using any part of this system on a chip. To make some test after glxinfo e glxgears I tried the yquake2 engine with the demo old game and it works. I was expecting considering how old the game is to work faster even if it's accelerated for sure and expecting better quality results (bilinear filtering is not the best and sometimes objects disappear and reappear depending on the scene but it's a good test anyway). I heard lately that has been released a free sof…

Hello, I just started a new SD card with 21.02.3 Buster on a OrangePi PC+. In armbian-config I can't install on eMMC: it says nand-sata-install: command not found. thanks Mathieu http://ix.io/2UhB

I am using ARMBIAN Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS 4.6.3-cubox on SolidRun HummingBoard-i2eX Dual SoC i.MX6 Dual Single Board Computer. I have an USB 3.0 controller attached to the board (via a PCI slot). As far as I know, xhci_hcd has to be compiled for the controller to function properly. In the default installation, xhci_hcd is disabled ( /boot/config-4.6.3-cubox says: "# CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD is not set"). Do I have to setup a complete build environment as descried here http://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ or I can just somehow compile the module on the board itself? Where exactly do I get the sources from? Thanks

If I would like to build myself an image with all content present in images posted on web, downloading code at https://github.com/armbian/build and choosing my board, when I build image if I don't change anything I will get what I want? Thanks

Hello. I have a question not directly related to Armbian, but to Linux in general. I just saw my problem fixed here and can't see how. I have most of my multimedia on samba share in my local home network. In Windows i am able to play videos from this share with directly loaded external subtitles (when available). But from Linux it's not that easy, when open share in file manager (double click). In some cases even video/music/pictures can't load from players with some incorrect path errors, but let's say this worked in most cases and focus on subtitles. For some reason when opening videos in Linux with file manager from samba share, only video loads, not the external subt…

QUESTION: I downloaded the BUSTER image (19.11.6 / 5.4.8) .img. In my .GNUPG directory, there is only an empty 'private keys' directory. Is this supposed to be like this or should there be 2 'text' documents next to the 'private keys' directory? One of my former buster downloads from a year ago or so, I know there were 2 simple text documents in the .gnupg directory. I am trying to learn how to send an encrypted message using gpg, but haven't been successful, yet. I was thinking that maybe there is a problem with my .gnupg directory and this is why I'm running into a snag with it. Thank you.

Hi, I'm testing a clone of Waveshare 3.5" (A) TFT with the mainline kernel and I've trouble with colors With legacy kernel works very well until SPI driver hangs (see https://github.com/notro/fbtft/issues/413 for reference) due to a bug So I've decided to test it with the new kernel The TFT is attached on SPI1 and I'm able to correctly load fbtft_device (with ILI9486) and I'm able to start xorg, executing SDL & GLX application But all the colors are wrong.

Hi, `zfs-dkms` package's module-building process on Armbian-ubuntu-noble has been unsuccessful with recent versions of the linux-current-meson64 kernel/headers/dtb that is higher than `26.5.1` (I'm not sure if `26.5.1` is the highest version that works with `zfs-dkms`; there might be a working version higher than `26.5.1`, but my fail-safe version has been this one.)

Hi all, I have upgraded an Odroid C2 setup to C4, and encountered some strange issues. The SPI interface of C2 is bit banging, while the C4 offers "real" hardware support for SPI. I use a current kernel (5.10.102) with Bullseye. I use two SPI /CS lines, while one SPI controller takes care of "user" interaction with the LatticeSemi MachXO2 FPGA on the addon board. The other SPI controller is used to reflash the MachXO2 by the SPI. On the C2, everything works fine (while slow, due to bitbanging). On the C4, the same code on Odroid and FPGA fails - but only on the reflashing interface, not the user interface. The user int…

Current system Armbian Bionic (Ubuntu 18.04) - Orange Pi One I am trying to duplicate a previous system, which I have had operating on Raspberry Pi . I have tested my script on the Orange Pi and after a few tweaks, it works fine (brilliant piece of kit!). I just need to boot to command line / terminal auto sign-in upon boot - automatically run python script within command line (the python script is an input form). Really appreciate any help / suggestions on this. Steve

After upgrading to Armbian 26.2, I noticed that if I mounted a network drive (samba, cifs) and even accessed it, and then tried to unmount it (sudo umount -t cifs ...), the system would freeze. Upgrading from Debian 12 (bookworm) to Debian 13 (trixie) didn't help. I did a rollback to Armbian 25.x via backup, and this problem doesn't exist there.

Hi All I cannot seem to find information specific to the Cuibieboard 2 - only reference to BPI running Ubuntu on SATA? Is this still possible? I have been able to do this on my old Cubieboard 2 but with a very old image. I don't know if this is possible with the latest Ubuntu's? If so, please point me to instructions? I have downloaded Armbian 5.3 onto SD card and got one of my Cubie's to boot fine from SD but would prefer either NAND or via SATA (SSD - preferable). I think the way I was able to do this on my old boards was to have the bootloader run from the NAND and then the SSD would take over from there, but…

Hi everybody, One really simple question: I got to work with wvdial and establish a ppp connection with OPi 2g-IoT but now I would like to initiate the board with the wvdial included, so if the modem 2g does not connect the board keeps trying till the conection goes smoothly. So far I've done this: sudo nano /etc/rc.local and inserted this line: sleep 60; sudo wvdial & My results are: Sometimes, mostly, it connects and works properly but there are few times like 2 out of 10 that the wvdial does not work and the board initiates without it, which I do not want at all. How can I force the board to initiate properly onl…

I'm looking forward to buying a BIGTREETECH Pi v1.2 board to use as a slim home server to replace my Orange Pi PC. I've had pretty good experience with Armbian so far and I would like to make sure I can continue using it with the new board. I didn't find a specific image for BTT Pi v1.2, but I did find a "Desktop > ARM64" entry. I'm confused on what should I use and whether it's supported at all. Can someone clarify that for me?

Didn't see anything from a search of the forums, so ... on a Rock64 with Armbian, I have compiled the 8723bu driver since it is missing. However, when this driver is loaded, only 2G wifi APs are visible. I am trying to connect to a 5G wifi AP. Other devices do not have a problem connecting to this AP. The Armbian install just can't seem to see it. I see the usb wifi in iw and in iwconfig. I'm just not sure how to get the usb wifi to connect to 5G when only 2G wifi APs show up. I've tried the usb wifi in all three different USB ports, and in all cases it still can't see 5G wifi, only 2G. Is there some config file or manual command that I can issue that w…

Hello everyone, I was used to use the cubox-i running on a hummingboard (2 years ago) and tried to install a pps source using pps-gpio module and the GPIO1 (pin 7) of the HummingBoard jumpers.

Hi forum. I have a board on allwinner 64. I can compare that video playback in a browser on a 5.4 kernel is better than on a 5.10.89 kernel. the browsers are the same from the repository. can anyone tell what this is related to?

In the past I used a lower end Sandisk's and used external flash drive with nand-sata-install to move system due to endurance. What is the status as of today? Are Sandisk Ultra A1's better than flash drives (i.e. not special "high endurance" ones). I need to ask because the installation is not easy to reach (another part of the city) and current problems may be because of flash failure (didn't get my hand on the devices yet). Any pointers will be much appreciated. PS: I found this today, very interesting read... https://www.delkin.com/technology/flash-endurance/

Hi All, I'm planning to use an RK3399-based system-on-module for an embedded application, and would like some advice about the work required to produce an Armbian build that runs on it. The SoM is made by Graperain ( https://www.graperain.com/ARM-Embedded-RK3399-System-On-Module-Gf/ ), and they have provided an SDK which is clearly an old copy of the Rockchip's github repo (4.4 kernel) with some unidentified tweaks to get it working on this board (including .dts files and presumably some bootloader stuff?). I realize this particular board is likely not of interest to the community, but I figure the general discussion around getting a new board running may be. …

Hi, as I would like to replace my old Banana Pi M1, I wonder which SoC I should use. I'd like to spend maximum 100€. What's the newest supported SoC which is right now available? Already orderes a Raspberry Pi 4 Gb 9 month ago....but still no idea when it'll be delivered. As I really like ARMbian and OpenMediaVault, I'd like to stick with it. I'd like to have at least a quadcore, gigabit-lan and 2-4GB ram.

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

after installing wireguard (kernel upgrade + headers) the pi would no longer boot and fail with crc error. Looking at the boot partition the uinitrd file was linked to the old version. Changed the uinitrd link to the newest one and it booted again.

Hello I have a 1440p (QHD, 2560x1440) monitor, but whatever I tried it was always giving me 1080p (1920x1080). I'm using Armbian 24.8.1 Noble Gnome and the resolution settings are in the Displays system panel. I noticed people who had similar problems on the Rock5b, the suggested solution did not work, but hinted to dtb files. After examining the /boot/dts tree of Armbian I found 3 files: /boot/dtb/rockchip/overlay/orangepi-5-plus-hdmi2-8k.dtbo /boot/dtb/rockchip/overlay/rock-5b-hdmi1-8k.dtbo and /boot/dtb/rockchip/overlay/rock-5b-hdmi2-8k.dtbo You can decompile the object file with the dtc command from the device-tree-compiler package…

I use "Armbian_5.59_Tinkerboard_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.67". After every reboot the line for the nameserver in resolv.conf looks like this: ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@nameserver 192.168.3.1 When I delete all ^@ chars my networks works fine. After reboot the characters are inserted again. I tried "chmod 444 resolv.conf" but after reboot resolv.conf has 644 again. How can I correct this? What is the problem with my installation? Best regards.

Hey, i bought somewhere on the end of internet some board with AllWinner A10 - ARM Cortex A8 processor. Board was cheap (15$) and had info about compatibility with Armbian. Sound good deal for tests. BUT of course cant be so easy It was true, Armbian working but only version 5.24 Jessie for Lime-A10 from previous age. All newest version booting well but without working usb ports. What i figured out its a problem with device tree configuration but Armbian based on Jessie working with fex files, all newest distributions unfortunately with dts files responsible for device tree config and i dont know how to set up device tree in newer versions. After few days fighting i…

I downloaded the Armbian_20.11.3_Odroidxu4_buster_legacy_4.14.212.img.xz and unpacked it using Keka. The integrity check I did using Quick-Hash and the Armbian_20.11.3_Odroidxu4_buster_legacy_4.14.212.img.xz.sha file provided together with the download file. As this sha file was for the compressed xz file, the integrity check was also done on the compressed image. How to check integrity on the image itself? Where do I find an sha file for the image? Thanks for you help...

Hi guys, I backed up my sd content on a 32GB card using dd command with count argument. So I ended up with a 8GB image file to move to a 16GB card. How can I expand the filesystem on the 16GB card to fit its size after putting the 8GB image on it? Thanks!

Hello, First off, I'd like to thank the Armbian group for making my hobby a little more fun :) So I'm tinkering with gpio in devicetree, but I'm getting stuck. cd-gpios = <&pio 5 6 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; /* PF6 */ with the excerpt from above, how/where can I find the description of 5 ?

Hi folks, I have a samll problem with my NanoPi M4. I connected an amplifier with some speakers to the 3.5mm Audio Jack. When I try to play something with mpc or ffplay, I only here some (maybe white) noise on the speakers. Stopping the playback, and the speakers are quiet again. Output of aplay -l: /etc/asound.conf: Has anybody any idea, where I should have a look next? Greetings Sven

Hi, I use Armbian on an SBC as an airgapped device with no connection to the internet. Each time I use the device I want to set the correct date and time, I can't work out I do this manually. Any help greatfully received.

I reflashed the sd after some issues and while firstrun script connected me to service provider wifi without error, the ethernet (currently connected to win11 enterprise) doesn't get an IP. Does windoze need to act as DHCP server? If so, will it clobber the wifi? Conversely, if I set the Pi as DHCP server for strategic reasons, will it clobber Windoze wifi connection? Thanks so much Joe

I have been running the 5.03 image provided, and it works amazingly, many thanks to igorpec and tkaiser. Now that the 5.04 image is ready, is there an easy way (via ssh?) to update my system? Obviously I could copy the image to an sd card and run it that way, but the system is running so well (on external hard drive and running plex server) that I'm reluctant to upset it all. Many thanks

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?

Hello I need to increase the size of the CMA on my armbian set up. But I've not found a way to do it. Is there a kernel command line option I need to pass to increase the CMA size, or is this done in the kernel configuration before building? Thanks in advance Andrew

Hello, I am planning to create a Kubernetes cluster from 5 Raspberry PI and one of the alternatives mentioned in tags, 9 hosts in total. I want to mount and customize the installation images with ssh keys, static IP address, etc, and to skip the initial script offered at login by the CLI images. Can you point me to the right piece of documentation? Thank you, Stefanita Vilcu

I am using an Orange pi win plus (Allwinner A64, 2GB ram), running Armbian Bionic with Linux 5.3.9-sunxi64 The board has an 2MB on-board spi flash and I want to flash bootloader in it. The spi flash can be correctly detected in the system (showing /dev/mtdblock0). But the "install" tool in armbian-config can't install the bootloader into the flash. When I selected "Install/Update the bootloader on SPI Flash" and confirmed the warning notice, the tool printed "OK" immidiately and there is actually nothing written to the flash. After using "sudo bash -x armbian-config", I found the tool executed a command: dd if=/usr/lib/linux-u-bo…

Hi all! I just received a NanoPi R4S, and I got a 128GB microSDXC for it. I loaded the rk3399-sd-friendlywrt-21.02-20220721 image onto it using win32diskimager. I put the SD card in, plugged in a USB-C, and let it setup for a few minutes. When it seemed ready, I plugged my laptop into the LAN port and went to its page. I logged in, all looked good. After setting a password, I tried changing some of the LAN and WAN settings, and the page stopped loading. I waited, but nothing happened. As as how I couldn't give a proper shutdown command, I disconnected the power and plugged back in. The NanoPi then booted, but the Sys light k…

I'm currently running Armbian Ubuntu Xenial Server on a Cubietruck, it works very well, thanks for all the effort! I recently bought a Raspberry Pi 3, installed some of the available images and found them kind of disappointing. The RPI2 and RPI3 both support ARMv7, which should make it reasonably easy to run Armbian Ubuntu images on it. Any chance of getting RPI2/3 support in the future? I would be willing to test work. Thanks!

Hello, I thought there is dphys-swapfile so I tried to disable it. sudo dphys-swapfile swapoff sudo dphys-swapfile uninstall sudo update-rc.d dphys-swapfile disable But dphys-swapfile is not installed for swap file. How can I disable swap in armbian completely? Is it enough to just remove this line "/var/swap none swap sw 0 0" from fstab?

Hi, No matter if I run the "sudo reboot" command or use the restart option from Gnome desktop, the Orange Pi 5 is not rebooting. It runs a splash screen with some kind of information after I execute that action, but after that the splash freezes and nothing happens. So I need to manually power off and then power on the Orange Pi 5 board. I'm using the following setup: Armbian 23.05.1 Thanks!

Do the minimal versions of the distributions still support HDMI ? Specifically orange pi 3b kernel 6.7.2 Thanks

Hi all, yesterday I updated my system (Banana Pi) to the latest version (5.15, legacy-kernel) with apt-get update && apt-get upgradeAfter the upgrade the fixed-IP for the device was gone. It looks like the link /etc/network/interfaces has been overwritten with a new file during the upgrade - so I had to set up fixed IP again in /etc/network/interfaces like described here: http://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#how-to-set-fixed-ip For the future I suggest changing the the upgrade-script so that the fixed IP is not overwritten. Additionally I think it would be good to write a short note in the changelog that the setting might be gone after the up…

Hi Folks, In my continuing adventures in Armbian (coming from RHEL/Fedora professionally), I've discovered that Jessie uses very old packages for various things I'd like to use to get closer to a Fedora-like experience. For example, I'd really like to use https://packages.debian.org/testing/net/firewalld. Any advice you could give on how to use some testing packages on Armbian? I thought ensuring 'backports' was listed in my /etc/apt/sources.list file would do it but alas no dice. I've tried the following command based upon this Debian wiki page: https://wiki.debian.org/Backports#Installing_backports_on_the_command_line # aptitude -t jessie-backports insta…

Hey folks, I know I should rather post in the OMV forums, but those are in maintenance until next week, maybe someone here uses OMV on a HCx. I flashed the Armbian minimal image, booted, SSHd into it, ran updates, ran the OMV install script and rebooted. Now I still can SSH into the HC1, but the there is no OMV interface running for the browser. During the OMV installation it complained something about something like openmediavault-flashmedia or something but apart from that finished successfully as far as I can tell. Here's the output in the console windows as far as I can scroll back: Spoiler - directory mask = 0700 - …

I see a lot of tutorials online and they all have seems to have different ways of going about making a share and it seems most of them are logged into a user as opposed to root. I'm logged in to root through ssh so that might the the cause of many of my issues I believe. I did a simple apt install samba and it seems to be running fine. I see other tutorials recommending you install "smbclient" and "cifs-utils", is that necessary? Some of the tutorials also say to add user groups and to add settings to the firewall. I'm just using 1 user and don't have any firewalls installed, unless armbian comes with one by default. I think my my service is running fine thoug…

Ive changed HDMI cable, different monitor and different PSU I wondered if there any CLI commands that might help my confirm what the fault is or if the board is broken? Thanks for any help!
