Hello. I'm using armbian on my orange win plus. I'm using it with an external hard drive, which has 3 TB of disk space. My orange has a sd card with 32 gigs of storage. I'm currently using it as daily backup server for one of my servers. However, armbian shows a full diskspace, so I cannot proceed any further. Here is some outputs from df -h $ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 892M 0 892M 0% /dev tmpfs 193M 21M 173M 11% /run /dev/mmcblk0p1 29G 29G 0 100% / tmpfs 963M 0 963M 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 5,0M 4,0K 5,0M 1% /run/lock tmpfs 963M 0 963M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup t…

I'll soon be adding a 4 port M4 SATA hat (Marvell 88SE9215) to a NanoPiM4V2 and was wondering if it will be supported in the current release of ARMBIAN? Or, will I need to build a new image? If so, what driver might I need to add to the kernel config? pi@raid:~$ uname -a Linux raid 5.8.17-rockchip64 #20.08.21 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 31 08:22:59 CET 2020 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

Is there something more I need to do? The sd card seems to be mounted when I probe it from the resulting shell.

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.

Hi everyone, I am trying to set up the Access Point on my Orange Pi Zero running Armbian_20.08.1_Orangepizero_focal_current_5.8.5. I am using the onboard wifi module. I have tried the next approaches: 1) I have tried https://orangepiweb.es/wifi-access-point.php and I can see my board as access point, but I can't connect. (I am receiving AP-STA-DISCONNECTED after handshake complete) 2) I have tried configuring it by sudo armbian-config but dnsmasq fails to start, so I can see my board as access point, but I can't connect. (I am receiving AP-STA-DISCONNECTED after handshake complete) 3) I have tried https://www.ra…

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 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…

Hi, how can I remove all files of desktop (GUI) after installing with armbian-config. I am running armbian 4.19.62 sunxi #5.92 on BananaPi M1 I can disable the Desktop but I require the space for the server. Regards, Rein

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 …

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

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. …

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!

When I run a checksum on both "...desktop.img.xz and .....desktop.img", the "...desktop.img.xz" matches the posted .sha doc's checksum. But when I run the "...desktop.img" checksum, it does NOT match the posted .sha doc checksum. I've always checked just the .img or .iso image against the posted checksum, never previously against the '..desktop.img.xz' image. Thx.

I tried to reach out for help, but maybe in the wrong channel. ➝ Is it possible to move a post from «bug tracker» to «Community forums»? My post:

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".

I'm struggling to use the armbian-config tool to setup a hotspot when I have two radios. Can someone share with me the intended workflow/step using armbian-config? I get asked twice for Default interface and the 2nd dialog is throwing me off. My board and radios work fine, but my network is suffering from insufficient user IQ. :-(

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…

I cannot get the console connection to work I've used Putty on Windows but there seems to be no COM3 starting up?

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…

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".

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!

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

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 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_…

Etcher understands zip, gzip, bzip2, and I don't know what all else. But it has no idea what a 7z file is. So I have link in proximity for two of the three binaries I need to get, and the third buried in grey on black text at the bottom of the page where nobody will see it and instead they will feel compelled to go out to find it on their own. Are 7z files really enough smaller than bz2 that it's worth this?

Apologies to my written english as it's not my native language. Thanks! Mike

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!

Hello Armbian, how does kernel update procedure work? There is the script [1] that indicates that kernel was updated. Is that updating procedure automatic? When does that happen?

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…

Hello, I've fairly new to ArmBian and as I'm trying to setup a cluster of Rock64's, I'm wondering if there's any support for using cloud-init (user-data) to be able to setup a board on boot? Thanks!

I'm running Armbian 20.08.1 (Ubuntu) in NanoPi NEO3, and after running sbc-bench,sh benchmark, the temperature does not revert to the idle temperature for several hours until exactly 4am. The system was idle all that time, until a small CPU usage spike at 4am. That's because it rebooted at that time, maybe due to a short power failure. So what confuses me a lot is why the idle temperature will get back to around 60C only after a reboot. 11 hours of idle time would not do it, but a simple reboot would magically drop the temperature by close to 15C.

I have a couple NanoPi (Neo, Neo 3, R2S, Neo 2 Black) devices and recently I wanted to tinker with trying to get them to be an IP KVM. The hang-up I hit is that I can't get g_hid to work. I am in way over my head but usually my google-fu gets me through. I can't find what I am looking for and it seems that most of the posts on the forum were from 2017 when there was an issue with the kernel that was supposed to be resolved. I am running Armbian 20.08.7 Bionic with Linux 5.8.13-sunxi on a NanoPi Neo (H3) but the error is on all of the devices. Anyway, the error I am getting is: root@nanopineo:~# modprobe g_hid modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'g_hid': No…

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 bought two managed switches (Zyxel 1200GS-8) in order to introduce VLANs, transformed the office server to a router etc. I try to build a SBC gateway between public and home network but got myself into trouble. I'm working on this for three days now but couldn't get it working. I messed around a lot and got lost, need second (and more) eyes to debug it. Here is the network layout: About the gateway: OPi PC 2 ( has 1Gbps port connected to home NW) augmented with 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, Fernando

Last week I downloaded the checksum for armbian20.05.2_Orangepiplus2e_buster_current_5.4.43_desktop.img.xz and checked the checksum that came with the download. The .img checksum downloaded with the image and the checksum I ran were the same. When I check the online checksum here on armbian.com under downloads, sha, TODAY, the checksum is different. Is there any reason for me to believe that my original checksum and download may have been corrupted? I realize I can just re-download the image now, but whose to say that the one posted now is correct and not the previous one (while maybe both correct/fine)? I know that checksums can change over time,…

Hi! In armbian-config there's a choice to move system files from SD to HDD (or some other media). Is there a possibility to "revert" that - so that after "the action" the system would be read from the SD card again? Thanks for all your time and best wishes, Damjan

Greetings everyone. I have sucessfully used Armbian Bionic in a production environment. Its really great. I am now evaluating Armbian Buster and I am seeing a strange issue perhaps you can direct me where to look so I can do troubleshooting. With the board connected to our corporate network, it takes about 48 hours when the whole board (OrangePi+ 2E) will crash with the CPU burning up. The second time it happened I had htop running to try and diagnose the problem. Investigation revealed that rngd became unstable due to the nm-applet. This led me to re-running the known conditions when this happens, with the network disconnected and now it doesn't cras…

Hi, I am new at this platform. I want to know is there any difference between BIOS and manual overclocking? Can anyone give me a detail answer?

I am building a legacy desktop image for Rock64 and there are a few things I am trying to customize at build time. I modified userpatches/customize-image.sh, but I am not getting expected results. Here are some things I am trying to modify: 1. I want to have the desktop come up in solid black color, no image. I made the following changes to userpatches/customize-image.sh: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options 'none' gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background primary-color '#000000' But I am still seeing the Armbian image on my desktop. What else do I have to modify? 2. I need to get rid of the…

Hi all I am new to V3s dev. I am creating a small computer based on the lichee pi zero. I am trying to get the best option to add a keyboard. Would you suggest me to design an I2C keyboard , or will a classicac usb keyboard work out of the box ? Building a usb keyboard based on an atmega32u4 microcontroler would be very simple.

Hi. I am running OpenVPN, Samba and Plex with Armbian on my rockpis. I want to make a docker image from it. I am new to docker and I searched and found that I could make an image from Docker file or commiting in a container. I thought that commiting in container was easier for me. So I downloaded "twhtanghk/armbian" in docker hub and ran it. #docker container run -it twhtanghk/armbian bash But when I hit "#ls -ls /dev" in the container, it show different result with my rockpis' Armbian. So I am reluctant to start to install those. Is it ok to install OpenVPN, Samba and Plex with the image? Or which docker image should use? …

I'am currently trying to install a desktop version of armbian focal on armbian-config, the only option avaliable is Desktop, but when i install it and reboot, it comes back to console i am running it on ubuntu terminal (Screen), because i can't use my TFT LCD monitor (don't know why either) Anyone had this problem? is there a fix?

I have a NanoPi NEO3, which is not currently supported by Armbian (WIP). I installed Armbian focal version 20.08.1 and seems to work, but I'm running into a packaging problem. I need the usbipd service, and that requires an extra package: WARNING: usbip not found for kernel 5.8.6 You may need to install the following packages for this specific kernel: linux-tools-5.8.6-rockchip64 linux-cloud-tools-5.8.6-rockchip64 The latest version of linux-tools that's available in the repositories is linux-tools-5.4.0-48, which does not match the installed kernel. Presumably there is a way to get the right version, but that would mean building it for the cu…

Hi, I compiled from scratch an armbian image and kernel, and in these ones the eMMC /dev/mmcblk1 is not present. If I try the (outdated 4.14) official images, the eMMC is present. Any ideas ? Thanks https://pastebin.pl/view/ba06da6f

Hello everyone, I have a nanopi r2s running the latest minimal focal image, and I'm having trouble with the network configuration. Context: I have an intranet connected to the LAN port (lan0), and my home network connected to the WAN port (eth0). The intranet does not connect to the internet, and both networks have functional DHCP servers on different IP ranges. For some reason the system thinks it should try to access the internet via my intranet, which is definitely not going to work. Suppose the intranet is 10.0.0.0/24, how can I tell the system to use this interface if and only if I'm accessing addresses that falls under this address …

I have two HC1s both running Armbian 10. Both of them respond to uname -r with: 4.14.187-odroidxu4 Yesterday, I rebooted one of them, and immediately started seeing errors. These turned out to be attributable to missing modules. The only directory in /lib/modules was 4.14.198-odroidxu4 which does not match the kernel version. The other HC1 still had a directory /lib/modules/4.14.187-odroidxu4. Prior to the reboot both systems were working. How can this happen? My quick solution was to copy the 4.14.187-odroidxu4 directory from the working HC1 to the failed HC1, which solved the problems, at least for the time being. But what is the correct so…

rk3288.txtHi all, I stumbled across a board which may be of interest for one of my next projects. Here you can find a link to it, it is model JLD076 I have the board already on my desk, and as it is really well equipped with loads of interfaces, I would love to get Armbian working on it. J have attached the boot log from console to the message, it uses Uboot 2017, and seems to be based on a standard Rockchip eval board. Onboard peripherials are handled by the usual suspects: ethernet by RTL8211, WiFi by RTL8732, and some of the display links by ALC6540. eMMC is fixed on the baord, so RKUSB is needed (can be invoked by Uboot command or bu…

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 need to configure a GPIO as input with pullup enabled and tried https://forum.armbian.com/topic/10462-nanopi-neo-2-set-input-pull-up-via-device-tree/ For some reason PIN PG06 is still floating.

Long story short: Espressobin v7 1GB Armbian (Ubuntu Bionic 18.04) Kernel Mainline 5.4-rc4 (with custom userpatch (compiles fine)) U-Boot 2018.03-devel-18.12.3-gc9aa92c-armbian (Feb 20 2019 - 09:45:04 +0100) Without my Atheros AR9380 chipset (ath9k) wifi card inserted into the mPCIe, boots fine into Ubuntu from SD. With Atheros AR9380 chipset (ath9k) wifi card inserted into mPCIe I get a kernel hang (see below), I'm assuming it's because I'm using: U-Boot 2018.03-devel-18.12.3-gc9aa92c-armbian (Feb 20 2019 - 09:45:04 +0100) But according to this: https://docs.armbian.com/Hardware_Marvell/, I should be using U-Boot v2019.04-rc4 However,…

Hi, I am trying to get an armhf mainline image for rk3399 and another one for other amlogic socs (s9xx) to test panfrost and lima properly. Many propietary binaries/libs are armhf, also many dynarec are armhf only alongside box86 emulator. Ive tried several attempts with no success to boot. Chroots have been useful for now.. but aren't that friendly, also, multiarch its not that great on arm, mesa 32 and 64 goes in conflict all the time. ive read an old post about this topic. Essentially it said you need to create an image for a 32 bit board and replace the uboot and kernel, also, set the proper dtb.. ive tried several times, also edited other stuff on …

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!

BUSTER DESKTOP - GLOBAL: https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-plus-2e/#kernels-archive-all I downloaded this on 2 different computers and got a bad checksum when I ran "sha256sum name.img".
