Hello, new here. I'm trying to build a headless environment for my ORDOID N2 based on a stable Debian (hence Buster), but I need some packages which aren't in the Buster repo (e.g. a CLang >7). I've tried following some instructions I found for adding Bullseye testing repo, and it makes the packages available, but the installation doesn't go well. Is this an unreasonable thing to attempt? Can anyone offer any guidance for how to get newer packages onto my Buster build? (anyone know when Bullseye will become the stable release?)

hi to all how can I change the armbian logo in bootsplash? I've searched for it in this forum and saw some similarity but that not solved my problem. I enabled the bootlogo=true in /boot/armbianEnv.txt and after that the logo appears in boot instead of texts and that's fine but I want to change the logo. also in boot.cmd I found this: if test "${bootlogo}" = "true"; then setenv consoleargs "bootsplash.bootfile=bootsplash.armbian ${consoleargs}"; fi changed the "bootsplash.armbian" with some bitmap file but after doing mkimage to create boot.scr, the logo went missing and texts are back. searched in file system for "bootsplash.armbian" and found thi…

Is the new orange pin zero 2 with the Alienware H616 supported. Board is not shown on downloads page, but that anorthern image for different board will work ?

I was trying to help a student download new C4 images and he gets 'Download Error.' Confirmed at my place - Twice I got 'Unable to download file securely' message but mostly 'Download Failed' on direct download. Didn't try all boards but several have same issue. Chrome on Linux x86 (Mint) and XU4 armbian. HTTP vs HTTPS on direct download? Didn't try the torrent downloads. Torrents work fine. Sorry if I put this in the wrong forum :] Edit: if I hit 'Keep' it still shows download error.

Hello, Is it just me or something has changed lately regarding the installation of u-boot on SPI? I have a Rock64 v2 and I am quite sure one year ago or more I used to update the SPI using the nand-sata-install script. Today I wanted to flash it again, but whenever I run the script (either via armbian-config) the error message in the title is shown and nothing occurs. Running Armbian 20.21 with legacy (4.4) kernel. Oh, the relevant u-boot package according to apt is installed. Thanks! Edit: The reason behind is to check if a newer code would finally support booting from the SSD plugged on the USB3 port, which nev…

Hi, what options do I have to access the GPIO from Python3 as a non-root user? I'm building a project based on the Rock Pi S and I have everything working (as root, i2c, GPIO) on the Radxa Ubuntu 18.04 image but as I wanted to future proof the project by using the 5.x kernel. I started with the latest Armbian_20.11_Rockpi-s_focal_current_5.9.10_minimal and enabled the i2c bus from armbianEnv.txt (rk3308-i2c1) (was already active) because the armbian-config didn't work. So I managed to get the oled display to work with the same library (luma.oled) I used on the 4.4 kernel. Then I wanted to install libmraa that I used on 4.4 but noticed was not …

I have a similar question as asked here... https://forum.armbian.com/topic/2914-how-to-display-foreign-fonts/ I live in India and visit Hindi / Marathi websites. There are just boxes in the web browser. The script is called "devnagari". Is there a similar command as mentioned in that post?

Hello, i had installed Raspbian OS on bpi M2 zero and the power button was working fine. After switching to Armbian (Focal - Buster , etc), i have problem with the power button that does not work anymore. The images were released for the specific board, but although the power button doesnt work. Additional, the installed SPI LCD, when powered off using raspbian, the backlight was deactivated (so power on GPIO was also off) Now with Armbian, even if i shutdown via command, the backlight remains on. Any suggestions?

Hi, I'm trying to enable the I2C at the U-BOOT stage, but so for with no success. I'm using Lamobo-R1 (Allwinner A20), but I guess that general tips from similar boards (Banana PI etc.) are still very welcome. I read these posts, and tried what has been suggested here, but with no success I2C control in u-boot: Orange Pi Zero enable i2c at u-boot for NanoPi Neo2 u-boot with I2C This is what I've done so far: I've modified the u-boot device tree to enable the I2C bus (I did the same with the kernel device-tree, and here it does work!!) I've added to Lamobo_R1_deconfig the next configurations: CONF…

Hi! I am having a really weird issue today with my armbian system. Its default configuration is as an AP with a NGINX server running at boot so that I can connect to my board and access to a website stored locally. I wanted to do some updates to the systems, so I have switched off the board, and opened the SDcard to my debian desktop system. I have modified the autoconnect value of my AP nmconnection file to false and switched the one of my infrastructure mode nmconnection file to true, so that at next boot, my board connects to my local network and I can run my updates. my board has never shown up in my router l…

I've got an Olimex A20-LIME2 and their 3.4" LCD with touchscreen. While they do work together using their built A20-OLinuXino-buster image, I would much rather use Armbian on this board. I've been attempting to use their lime2-lcd-olinuxino-4.3ts overlay (present commit: af1d92c). What I'm doing is, after cloning that repo to the Lime2, compile all supplied overlays with (because that's quick & easy): make all … then install the same overlay (by name) that works in OLinuXino with: sudo armbian-add-overlay sun7i-a20/A20-OLinuXino-Lime2/lime2-lcd-olinuxino-4.3ts.dts But on reboot, it fails with: Found mainline kernel configuration 47918 b…

I'm trying to follow the Armbian Quick Start Guide, specifically the section "How to install to eMMC, NAND, SATA & USB?". It says to run nand-sata-install and I'll be able to choose to set up to "boot from eMMC / NAND, system on SATA / USB", which is what I want (to boot from NAND and have the system on USB). What I get on screen though is not what I expect. I see a menu that has two option 1. Boot from SD - system on SATA, USB or NVMe 5. Install/Update the bootloader on SD/eMMC Why don't I get the option to set up to boot from NAND (which I guess might be option 3, going by the documentation)? cubieboard 2, …

Hi there. More than a year ago i started a project on this CPU and mainly succeeded with Nanopc-T4 board, old Armbian (5.95/4.4.179) and a custom DTB. The hardware project included the SBC and a Chinese TFT dashboard-style display panel (thus - MIPI/DSI, as I could not find the same for LVDS). Mainly using the poke-and-peek method I collected the way to mod the DTS so the DSI port is active, and the display worked like a charm. Mostly I pasted the DSI part from OrangePi DTS. I must admit that that turned out to be pure luck. Because once I moved (after big pause) to the SOM and self-designed carrier board (identical in USB, SSD, MMC, video section to Friend…

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?

Where can one find a overview of all possible parameters for armbianEnv.txt?

The GPIO pins on the Rock64 are very similar to the Raspberry Pi's GPIO, except the Raspberry pi calls pin #19 GPIO 10, pin #21 GPIO 9 and pin #23 GPIO 11. Where as the Rock64's pin #19 is GPIO3_A1, pin #21 GPIO_A2 and pin #23 GPIO3_A0. The Rock64 documentation does say that it is quasi-Raspberry Pi compatible, but it's hard to find anyone who has actually tested this. Here is the GPIO layout of the Rock64, compared to the Pi 3 I'm currently trying to figure out if a display such as THIS can be connected to the Rock64's GPIO pins without any major issues. User documentation for the display can be found HERE on page 2, in the PDF named …

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

After installing Ubuntu Focal 20.08.17 (on Pine A64), I have noticed the following. Searching for packages which are not fully installed with dpkg -l|grep -v ^ii returns systemd-timesyncd. This can be fixed by purging the package with dpkg -P systemd-timesyncd but it is better if the image is shipped with this already fixed. Can other users confirm this issue and can it be fixed when building the image?

Hi, I have a question about maximum memory support on Allwinner processors, inc. A20 and A64. In datasheet I see: A20:"Support 2GB address space" A64:"up to 3GB address space" Does these mean the maximum installable memory on them? on the other hand, in official page, written that A64 has 1GB memory support! it is confusing. Thank you

I'm trying to get Armbian running on a Rock Pi S, but my custom builds aren't booting (see output below). I can successfully boot with the Buster image from here, but I need a custom custom build that will eventually include a few added scripts and be flashed to the NAND flash on the board, instead of using an SD card.

Is there a way to share my Armbian screen with another computer, like I can do early with Ubuntu? I have my Armbian machine in one room, and I need to be able to control whatever is running there from my other computer in a different room. I can do this easily with Ubuntu's screen share option. How can I do that with Armbian? Peter

Hi all, I am building an art project, and I love the hardware specs of Orange Pi PC for it. I have a graphical Java app (built in Processing) that runs on a HDMI display, and unsurprisingly it doesn't run well without a GPU. On RPi 3B+/Diet Pi I've got it up around 24 fps using KMS, and I'm happy with that performance, but now I'm porting it to the OPi so I'm kinda starting from scratch again. I am aware of the amazing work going on with Panfrost although I've had issues installing it on my board with Buster Desktop. In general Armbian on Orange Pi PC seems pretty great, amazing even. But I'm only getting about 1 frame every 5 seconds with my Java/Processing a…

Hello, According to the changelogs on https://docs.armbian.com/Release_Changelog/, the 20.08 version on September upgrade the EspressoBin to the Kernel 5.6 and the next version 20.08.3 it was updated to the 5.8 kernel. When I go to the archives for the Espressobin (https://archive.armbian.com/espressobin/archive/) I cannot find the 5.6 version. Is there any reasons for that or is a missing link? Kind regards,

Hi folks, i was running Openmediavault 5 on an BananaPi M1 with Amrbian Buster for years and it worked all fine. Now i "upgraded" to an M2U because of the RAM and real Sata support. I installed the newest stable buster image 20.08 (also tried old ones and the nightly) because OMV does not support bullseye yet. After this, i just did "apt update" and "apt install armbian-config". I have choosen in softy the OMV setup. I also tried it again with the OMV install script for Armbian. In both cases i couldn't install it. I waited with softy almost 24h to install it, but it got stuck (no cpu usage, nothing happens). …

Have been struggling to install Armbian on Firefly rk3399 - did try many images from armbian.com/firefly-rk3399 with no luck at all. Then I did stumble on a Arbmian image on a USB stick from 5 of January this year Armbian_19.11.7_Firefly-rk3399_bionic_legacy_4.4.208_desktop.img which did work to my surprise. Thought it had something to do with u-boot and partitions. I did always stop on starting kernel ... with some prior errors.

Hi guys, I try to reinstall my tvheadend, but unfortunately it always tells me suddenly some depencies which I can't solve. libhdhomerun4 (>= 20200521) But it's installed and in Buster stable only available: libhdhomerun4:armhf (20180327-1) When i try to install it manuelly, then there is the next depency to libc-bin and so on... a never ending story. Actually tvheadend worked already quite well, but suddenly it stopped working. So I thought maybe it's the best idea to reinstall tvheadend. And now there is even bigger trouble.

Hello. I have industrial PC on Allwiner A40i cpu. Manufactor provides support only for Ubuntu 12 with linux 3.10 core. But i want to use newer version of software. Is it real to install Armbian on this hardware? i didnt find any information about this cpu on forum.

Hi I have used Armbian quite a bit now for various projects with great success and even debugged my own hard-to-solve issues. I am considering using an H3 based board (OrangePi + 2E) to replace the cheap junk media player I use. Incidentally Armbian will run on that device, but I am not sure what the video support is like- its a RockChip RK3xxx series SoC. Now, out of the box, Armbian (Buster, Focal, etc..) video playback stutters on Full HD (720p and up) content, particularly at full screen. I understand this is because I need to install a binary blob driver for the GPU? I've done this on normal desktop PCs before running Ubuntu, which is very easy to do, h…

NanoPi M4B doesn't have dedicated page and image. But hardware is very closed to "NanoPi M4" (same CPU & RAM) Do you know if I could use NanoPi M4 version on M4B? I'm willing to buy a NanoPi M4B but I want to be sure armbian will be compatible

So I'm trying to debug a 32 bit C compiler circa 1983 that only compiles in 32 bit. I have the compiler working in Linux Ubuntu 18.04 and later with multiverse (32 bit) support installed. I thought to myself PI OS would have to be one the most popular used and supported 32 bit OS, so let's compile and debug the the 32 application in a complete 32 environment. However on the PI OS 32 bit while I have managed to compile to compiler with no issues it doesn't execute and gets seg faults. No problem I can debug it! Except I can't because if I use the debugger via Geany or directly it complains it can't find variables higher up …

Hi. Finally have the time to get into this, and find the biggest problem i am having right now is conceptual. What is Softy? Why is it needed? Why is it better than installing from apt with a repository? How is its installed software managed, including updates? Also, I understand that there is no uninstall feature. In which case, how do manage system recovery? Say I install docker and omv and I've set up other bits and pieces like wifi and ssh, then I mistakenly install desktop. I want to uninstall desktop... It looks like I need to bust back down to a clean image and start again. Do wiser heads have a good strategy to handle …

I'm using OrangePi-Lite2 board with image : Armbian_20.08.1_Orangepilite2_buster_current_5.8.5.img Most of the functions that are important, do work well as of now. There are two major issues : 1. I setup my Bluetooth headset from armbian-config and it is paired and connected and I'm able to output a .wav file using aplay etc. However, I can not record anything from the microphone with arecord. No devices are listed for recording. But when I connect a USB microphone to the board, I can record well with arecord. Bluetooth record function is very important for me right now. Appreciate any pointer as how to get it to work. Thanks. …

Hi I have an Odroid HC1 which has been happily running along for a while now. The OS has been moved onto the SATA drive I used arminian-config to run the updates but the reboot failed. I found this post which may be related but I am not sure. As the OS is on the SATA drive I can't log in to check what is happening with the data drive. I attached a small video to that post to show what is happening with the HC1's lens when I attempt to boot it. I really need to get this server back up as it has my Nextcloud instance on it. Any help appreciated Jon

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!

How to run SoftFloat based binary in OrangePiPC ? I have flashed my OrangePiPC with "Armbian_20.08.1_Orangepipc_buster_current_5.8.5.img.xz". When I cross compiled my C based application with ARM hard-float toolchain "gcc-linaro-7.4.1-2019.02-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf", Its compiled in my linux pc and able to run that application in OrangePiPC. Its working fine. But When I cross compiled my C based application with ARM Soft-float toolchain "gcc-linaro-7.4.1-2019.02-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabi" (with -mfloat-abi=softfp), Its compiled and Couldn't able to run that application in OrangePiPC.

Hi, i am using a tinkerboard s to run pihole, wireguard and a maria database. It worked quite a while without any issues. Just after I had to start over with the tinkerboard, the issues began. My main issue is, that after I restart the tinkerboard i do not get access right away to the internet. I have to open the pihole admin webpage first, just then I am able to get a normal internet connection. That works then without issues until another restart. I addressed my issue already in the pihole forum and the moderator suggested to ask here since in his opinion it might be an issue with the privacy extension of IPv6. I am honestly no expert and stru…

Hi Trying to install docker (arm64) via the debian documentation on Docker's website, but running into persistant problem with dpkg on docker-ce.

Hello I have a working armbian image working well on mi "LePotato", but now I need to use the SPI interface to communicate with a sensor, however I see no spi on /dev/. I read the official images have spi support here , I tried the Ubuntu image and it is working. Is there any way to enable it inArmbian? I read the documentation in https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Allwinner_overlays/ , where points to use custom overlays with .dts files. I see the .dts overlay files used in the Ubuntu image are in github here, however when I try to use armbian-add-overlay I get the message "armbian Overlays are not supported on Meson64 based boards". I am not an expert…

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…

Hello, I got recently an Odroid HC2 and installed Armbian (Buster 5.4.61) on it, OMV5 and I fixed IP. I configured it on the cable that I use on my desktop and connected my desktop on wifi. When I finished the configuration, I put HC2 closer to router on another cable and connect my desktop on the cable that HC2 was connected. If I try to connect to SBC through Putty on the desktop with it connected on cable and wifi, I connect normally. But if I disconnect of wifi, I can't connect to SBC, even on Putty or browser. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

This is a minor issue, but I'm hoping to get it solved as I've enjoyed the welcome screen for so long. For whatever reason after running my installation script which I've been using for years, the welcome screen changes when logging in over ssh. This happened some months ago. Any ideas on how or where I should look?

If this is the wrong place to ask, please feel free to redirect me to another location. I'm thinking about using an SBC to create an application-specific coprocessor. A laptop would stream h.264/h.265 2kx2.5k yuv420p compressed video thru USB to the SBC (functioning as a USB gadget with separate power supply) and the SBC would decompress the video frames, apply a sequence of affine transforms to each (decompressed) image, and stream the warped, decompressed images back to the host. This would use the SBC hardware-assisted VPU decompression and GPU for warp processing, and the Arm CPU side would manage the YUV420p-RGB conversion and buffered super-speed USB t…

I have the magicsee N5 max with amlogic s905x3 processor, I think it is compatible with the magicsee n5 plus, the problem is that I was reading in the forums, but many of the files that were used for the n5 plus I can no longer find them, now there are new versions and I would like to know if someone could guide me now which is the correct way to install it. I'm not very good at this but if you guide me I can make it work for sure, thanks.

So, some time ago I made some custom changes to DTB to get the OV5640 camera working on a Banana Pi M2 Zero. I was successful, and made notes on the files that I changed. Now, I'm working with the same source tree, but cleaned out. So I wanted to make my changes again because I did not know about CREATE_PATCHES then. So, i built my new image, and made the changes to the dts files. But now, /dev/media0 does not show up. I have 2 boards. One with my prior image that is fully functioning (Board A), a new one that is missing /dev/media0 (Board B). First thing I did was compare the kernel configs. They are identical. For fun, I copied the kernel from…

Hi all. For gaming on the Raspberry Pi 4 there is nothing better(opinion) than TwisterOS. It is Raspberry Pi OS with a lot preinstalled tools for gaming. Also very nice skins to make your OS look like old Windows versions, or even MacOS. You can play old Windows games with it thanks to Box86 + wine which is preinstalled and configured. Also native x86 Linux games run amazingly well with it. There is a Steam client preinstalled. Is must say I've never used it, since I've never used/liked Steam. You can download TwisterOS here : https://twisteros.com The official TwisterOS reviewer on Youtube is @Salvador Liébana and his colleague from Pi Labs : https:/…

Hi there. Is there any way to set hostname of freshly installed board with armbian-config not in menu, but from command line ? armbian-config --help gives some examples, but not for this case. And more generic question -- when I "burn" microSD image, first boot comes with questions about root password, new user, etc. Is there a way to do it in unattended mode ? E.g. with ansible. Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi all, I'm trying to port a driver built for Raspberry Zero to Banana Pi M2 Zero. The original driver is here : https://github.com/pguyot/tagtagtag-ears (it's supposed to drive the ears of a Nabaztag, which recently got resurected thanks to an Ulule campaign). My understanding is that at least half of the problem is to adapt the device tree overlay for the BPI M2 Zero. If it"s not half of the work, it's definitely required. So far I've been unsuccessful. The original DTS overlay is like this : /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "brcm,bcm2708"; fragment@0 { target = <&gpio>; __overlay__ { gpio_encoder_left_…

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

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/

How Rebuild the kernel, if i have in armbian headers kernel orange pi zero? I want rebild on arm board. I use old kеrnel 3.4.113

Hi! I've been running two sbc (Odroid HC2) for about 1,5 years. I recently realised that the os it is running on is outdated (Debian Stretch with Armbian Linux 4.14.150-odroidxu4). There is a nextcloud instance running on it and I really (!) like the stability of my setup. So far, I've had one (1) crash in 1,5 years on a system that is running 24/7, maybe heat related in the hot summer. Reboot automatically once a week, nightly off-site backup, login via ssh-keys. So my question is...: Shall I update and if yes shall I do this from a fresh install or is there a built-in way? Thanks!

I am trying to update a Lamobo R1 with armbian 5.31 it's kernel from source. I have compiled and installed it (v5.9)I have also updated the initramfs, but still when I boot I see on screen with uname-r the older kernel 4.9.7. Is there any other thing I'm missing so the bootloader boots with the newest installed kernel?

Randomly I get these messages: kernel:[ 1556.169049] Internal error: Oops: 805 [#1] SMP THUMB2 kernel:[ 1576.718698] Internal error: Oops: 817 [#5] SMP THUMB2 Does anybody have them also? Is some fix available for kernel 5.8.5?

The current kernel version of the board is 4.9.7, and I am trying to update it to 5.9 with the Real Time Kernel patch. For compilation I first got the default sunxi config as follows: make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- sunxi_defconfig After that I enabled Expert Mode to be able to select the Preempt RT option in General Options of the make menuconfig. After that I started compiling, and after a while I got the following error: DTC arch/arm/boot/dts/sun4i-a10-a1000.dtb In file included from arch/arm/boot/dts/sun4i-a10-a1000.dts:46:0: arch/arm/boot/dts/sun4i-a10.dtsi:44:41: fatal error: dt-bindings/thermal/thermal.h: No suc…
