Please forgive if this been posted before, I've done a search and found nothing. I'm running xfce desktop and as stated, window control buttons are missing from top right of windows.. I set up a temporary additional user, same on that one. Window configuration is correct.

Hi, this is a problem that has persisted on my Orange Pi H2+ Board (running Armbian) for quite some time now. At one stage I thought I had resolved the issue, but now since an update to some unrelated software, said software no longer works. I have tracked this back to the locale settings, which, for all intents and purposes, don't exist. I have tried a variety of fixes, such as trying to set Locale using the armbian-config , but Locale remains adamantly blank. I can SSH into the board (which is where I ran the arm config program, as well as the following commands). I tried dpkg-reconfigure locales but I only get told the following: pe…

Hello, everybody. I am using Orange Pi Zero 2 Plus and I need to make autologin in my user. How do I do this? Thanks

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

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 installed a LinuxCNC for my orange pi one, the mouse and keyboard will not work after restarting Here is the log http://ix.io/2AgR

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 …

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…

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

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.

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

Hi Folks, Trying to wrap my head around this still, so bear with my if I've crossed my wires somewhere, first some background. With a 5.8 linux-image-current-rockchip64 kernel, zfs 0.8.4 and 2.0.0-rc won't compile because of the following error. ERROR: modpost: "__stack_chk_guard" [/root/zfs/module/zfs/zfs.ko] undefined!

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?

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 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…

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 can't access the beta repository (either from the apt command on a armbian enabled board or my browser) : is there something I might look up on my side or is it general ? thanks !

Hello. I’m try to run Armbian on my Kurio 7S tablet (https://linux-sunxi.org/Kurio_7S) with Allwinner A20 CPU. I built Armbian image for Cubietrack with USB Gadget Support (https://linux-sunxi.org/USB_Gadget/Ethernet) and ran it using SD-card. But, the micro USB port isn’t active. I need micro USB to connect keyboard to enter a password and for the further configuring Armbian. The micro USB port perfect works in Android on the NAND of the tablet. What am I doing wrong?

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!

Hello! Made a kernel update via APT yesterday and now the MOTD is displaying the status warning "No end-user support: built from trunk". The update also broke the scripts used by armbian-config (works after a reinstall though). Is this normal behaviour? I've never seen this MOTD status before. Are unsupported/unstable updates pushed through the stable branch (my sources are configured as "stable main contrib")? Edit: The updated packages were: linux-buster-root-current-odroidxu4:armhf (20.08.1, 20.08.3), linux-image-current-odroidxu4:armhf (20.08.1, 20.08.3), linux-dtb-current-odroidxu4:armhf (20.08.1, 20.08.3), linux-u-boot-odroidxu4-current:…

So I have managed to partially pull out one of the usb sockets on my tv box. The little plastic piece that holds the 4 metal pins has come out while I was pulling out a slightly deformed usb cable. The box still worked while it was on. After a reboot it is not coming on. The LEDs and VFD don't come on. It doesn't boot into armbian or android. Is it safe to say that it is dead? I think I am going to have to try and lift those metal pins. Because they are touching the metal usb housing. Perhaps that is causing a short-circuit somewhere. If all else fails I will try to desolder the whole usb slot. Update: I have bent …

I have a question. Because there is a big mess in the naming of the first Orangepi series. I have a board with orangepi mini 2 image working. Archived Armbian 5.05 kernel 3.4.119. Orangepi pi 2 images do not launch. In appearance and specifications, the Orangepi PC 2 and mini 2 are almost identical. https://linux-sunxi.org/Xunlong_Orange_Pi_Mini_2. However, the specification for the mini 2 exists, although the manufacturer himself does not provide it on its main website. Could you add an introduction to the orange pi mini 2 board, with the old 3.4 kernel, so that you can build a system? Or maybe someone has some archival image to share?

Hello, I'm trying to writing a patch for /gpu/drm/panel/panel-simple.c in order to make my 3.5" ampire works with my Olimex's A13 som board.

I dig out with my oscilloscope and find that RGB data changes on clock's rising edge. Display's datasheet request data to be changed on falling edge insted. So, I've tryied to set the property, but nothing changed: data still changes on rising edge. Here's the core of my patch: diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/panel/p…

There is only a desktop download for OPi 4 and it comes with XFCE desktop. I cannot change the color for the taskbar from the absolutely horrible charcoal gray, other than to the 16-color set.

I cannot put the temperature on the taskbar. I cannot put the CPU usage on the taskbar.

Armbianmonitor -u After an attempt to use wifi on cubietruck on Buster server 20.05.2 (upgraded from Jessie) the board experiences random freezes and I need to power-cycle the board to bring it back. I am now on Buster 20.08.02 after upgrade without using wifi (blacklisted as on the original image) I am trying to pinpoint the source of the freeze (I don't want a fresh install) but due to zram logging, I can't seem to be able to find anything useful in the logs. Can someone suggest any other method to debug my issue or how to temporarily disable zram logging? Edit: I used systemctrl to stop zram and zram logging temporarily

Hello, In case you haven't heard about this yet, the fact that Armbian Buster Current comes with a 5.8 kernel means it suffers from this Debian bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=964926 which us caused by combining this kernel version (as well as future ones) with systemd built using older kernel headers. This bug is mostly harmless but it does at the very least prevent Ansible from managing services on affected systems due to 'systemctl show' exiting with a non-zero exit code. Unfortunately with the official Debian Buster kernel version being 4.19 it is unlikely that this will be fixed on their end.

Hi. I am digging many things with armbian so I install fresh armbian and many applications so many times. So I am making a long script to install many applications and edit many configuration. When it asked "Yes/On" on text prompt, I use "#echo yes | apt install vim". It works well. But when I install samba, it ask text prompt "yes/no" at first and then with dialog box "yes/no". So I tried "#echo yes | echo no | apt install samba". But it doesn't work. How can I send "yes/no" to dialog box in bash shell??

Hi guys, I designed a custom board based on allwinner H3, i would like to emulate this board on qemu.

Hi, I'd like to install to USB storage as the eMMC card I have is quite small. As stated in the documentation https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#how-to-install-to-emmc-nand-sata-usb It appears to be quite simple but my question is, I already have everything installed and running, with the software I need etc. Will this pose an issue or should I re-flash and do it straight away? Thanks!

The ARM kernel itself has already been compiled. How to compile a ARM kernel module on an VM amd64?

Hello, Today I found that the "serial-getty@ttyS0.service" service restarts every minute. It says "serial-getty@ttyS0.service: Succeeded." in the syslog/journal and then starts again, so it exited with code 0. The restart counter is already at 3085, so it's been like that for 2 days. No output is logged from the service itself. So I looked up its start command and ran it interactively. Again, with no output, after a minute, it returned with code 0. So I straced that thing and saw that it did lots of things, then print "Password:" somewhere, wait a while and then print "Login timed out after 60 second" and exit with code 0. strace /sbin/a…

I am copying a folder from one drive to another. The transfer operation encounters duplicate files and ask me to Replace, Replace All, Skip, Skip All ,etc. Some of the files may be the same filename but different file-size (e.g., one is bigger than the other). If I choose Skip All, will Armbian Skip regardless of file-size? Or, if I select Skip All, will it show another message when it encounters same filename but different filesize?

Hi, I normally use Proxmox on Intel Nucs (also Buster based) and also had here usbip with some USB sticks on a USB hub. Now I decided to split that up a bit and so I got some ZeroPi devices and wanted to use them as USBIP hosts kind of. So I installed the buster image and also added usbip_host module to /etc/modules. The devices are seen by the Linux on the ZeroPi in general and also /usr/sbin/usbip list -l lists them successfully. Here the dmesg output too: [ 350.174305] usb 4-1: new high-speed USB device number 6 using ehci-platform [ 350.331127] usb 4-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1a40, idProduct=0101, bcdDevice= 1.11 [ 35…

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,…

Hey guys, I'm trying to find a way to read the values of the LRADC0 and LRADC1 of the A20. Those ADC are usually used for android-style buttons (labeled "VOL+", "VOL-", "MENU", "SEARCH", "HOME", "ESC" and "ENTER") which are connected to a low-resolution ADC via a resistor network. But I want to use the ADC for another purpose and I just need to read values between 0 and 63. Now it seems there is already a driver which let you setup the android-style buttons in the DTS (as can be seen in this patch) But I can't find the code of this driver, which I could use as a template. Any idea how to find the driver ? Or…

Some days ago I installed the latest armbian updates to my armbian buster installation / openmediavault 5 on my odroid n2. After the installation of the following updates the cron jobs, which were setup on omv5 gui (not in crontab os) are not working anymore and are not started because of error: Here the update packages: armbian-config 20.08 armbian-firmware 20.08 linux-buster-root-legacy-odroidn2 20.08 linux-dtb-legacy-meson64 20.08 linux-image-legacy-meson64 20.08 linux-u-boot-odroidn2-legacy 20.08 Here the error message: /var/lib/openmediavault/cron.d/userdefined-ee6e5e4d-afef-449f-88fb-b6b4d0e4f1a5: 20: /etc/profile.d/ar…

hey, after updating my nanopct4 and rockpi-4b to from 20.05 to 20.08 RDP stopped working for me, only black screen. After reading all the messy logs, fresh install etc, I found a simple working solution online: In /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh change #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash Sources: https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/issues/1630 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1166568/remote-desktop-blue-screen-after-login Maybe others are affected too, don't know about Ubuntu.

Hi all, I bought a Orange Pi PC 2 a year or two back, loaded the Armbian image successfully and tweaked it until it was just right for my application. As this piece of hardware was going to live on a remote property, I bought another 2 Orange Pi PC 2 boards and some new SD cards with the intention of having 2 backups - one for development and the other as spare. I loaded these two up with the latest Armbian image and configured them as needed. These two work fine, even if I swap the SD card between these two pieces of hardware. However, when I try to put the SD card from the original Orange Pi PC 2 into one of the newer Orange Pi PC 2 it will …

Hi guys, I've a nanopim4 V2 running Armbian Focal with Linux 5.7.15-rockchip64, on a Kubernetes k3s cluster, and I realise that time to time, the board crashes (or reboot) but I'm unable to find why. I've checked syslog kernel.log under /var/log.hdd without luck. What else should I check? This is the output of armbianmonitor if it's help. http://ix.io/2vgU Many thanks in advanced. Regards

Hi, I've been trying to compile a c program with GCC and have been unable to move past various errors related to file functions that should be declared in fs.h I have installed (several times!) linux-headers-5.7.15-sunxi, made scripts, pointed the make file to ARCH=arm (not really necessary I know) and KSRC=/usr/src/linux-headers-5.7.15-sunxi/. In the fs header in /usr/src/linux-headers-5.7.15-sunxi/linux/ looks correct and includes references to the functions I require (filp_open(), filp_close(), kernel_write()) but the compiler simply refuses to accept that these functions are declared. It appears to still be using the original headers in /usr/incl…

Hey all I am pretty new to Linux and Arm devices and not native English speaker so sorry for eye bleeding typos and grammar. I have a trouble to make TeamViewer-host work on Headless Armbian Focal 5.4.46. Installation goes with no issues, but at the end of setup I am getting this error message: "The framebuffer console seems to be unavailable or has the wrong format. For connections to framebuffer consoles to work please make sure that /dev/fb0 is accessible and configured to at least 16-bit depth." I already find out that when I connect any monitor to HDMI I can see /dev/fb0 and I can connect using Teamviewer. The monitor c…

I recently bought a NanoPi M4V2 with the SATA HAT extension. I'm planning on using it to build a personal NAS. However, I have some concerns about the SATA HAT. The chip on it turns out to get very warm when idle despite the installed heat sink. I haven't been able to measure the exact temperature, but I'm unable to put my finger on the heat sink for more than a few seconds. I'm running the following specs: NanoPi M4 V2 Armbian buster with Linux 5.4.49-rockchip64 SATA HAT for NanoPi M4 1x 2.5" Seagate Barracuda HDD (1TB) 12V/2A Charger with Locking (see image) Under this post someone suggested to replace the or…

Hi there, i hope you can help me as i saw there are a few Wireguard Users here as well. I did setup Armbian 20.05.4 Buster on my Cubietruck and configured Wireguard. After a few mistakes the connection from outside (iOS Client) is stable but very slow. I went to the obvious roads and found the MTU setting on the client side could be an issue as well some PostUp command parameters can improve performance. But for any reason my wireguard doesn´t want to accept anything with PostUp, Safeconfig etc in my wg0.conf file: Parsing error. But without that been solved i assume i can´t work on the Performance improvement. Here a few lines of code showing the relevant confi…

Unable to comment with Firefox on RK3399 in the Armbian forum. See image. Since Chromium isn't working right with Google account I've been using Firefox instead on the M4V2. For a few days I'm unable to comment on the Armbian forum itself with it. In Chromium this works (since I'm commenting with Chromium now) Also have an issue with Facebook not always loading fully in Firefox, don't know if it's related. Just saying so it's known. Cheers.

Hello, I try to port a small console application from Raspi to an Ordoid N2. I use Code::blocks for my development and I have no trouble on Raspi 2 and Raspi 4.

Hello everyone, can you please tell me what kind of Armbian image is needed to put the latest version in the MotionEye? I tried to do the github according to the instructions on your forum, but it does not work.

Hi team. I am having a difficult time getting the standard Opi CSI camera to work on the newest mainline Armbian. I don't have the ability to use a legacy version because it is coupled with a preconfigured Octopi, thanks to @ldiaz. He says that Octopi will work with the camera once the system works with the camera, and I have not been able to get it to work. There are at least a dozen threads here about that camera, but most are dated. And the ones that aren't seem to talk more about performance, and they assume that your camera is working. I also saw one about overlays, which I have no idea how to deal with, or even what they are. Something tells me it just isn't thi…

I have a brand new install of Armbian 20.05.4 trying sudo armbian-config to enable overlayroot and getting sed: can't read /etc/overlayroot.conf: No such file or directory is that a feature of a bug? would touch /etc/overlayroot.conf be a proper work around or is something more expected of me to enable overlayroot?

Flashing odroidc4 images, each installation gets an identical IP address of '00:50:43:84:fb:2f' as specified in https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/7d758026b57380b17b6337e23b053db01c7e0b3d/config/bootenv/meson.txt This gets especially cumbersome with encrypted rootfs. Is there any way to override this without having to rebuild the image? Ideally the hw MAC address would be used, but being able to configure it through a simple change of the boot parameters after flashing would also work.

Next cloud installed but when I enter my local address as it says on softy it give me not found error, tried http and https, idk what's the problem, also I get an error when I run sudo apt-get upgrade, image included

I've built Armbian for my purposes with the following build settings: ./compile.sh BOARD="bananapi" BRANCH="current" RELEASE="focal" \ KERNEL_ONLY="no" KERNEL_CONFIGURE="no" BUILD_DESKTOP="no" EXTERNAL="yes" \ INSTALL_HEADERS="yes" .. and the board boots from the resulting image just fine, and seems to be running well. Now, I want to clone a repo onto this board, and use the ONBOARD compiler for development purposes .. I'm doing some CAN development, and I want to use SocketCan (https://github.com/jackthompsonnz/socketcan-linux-5.0.git) which is a kernel module for gaining access to a USB-CAN adapter. So I connect to it, clon…

Hi, Hobby-level user here. New to Armbian. Trying to get Nextcloud and PiHole installed and running on my Odroid HC1.

Hello! Is there any way to read all 1-Wire Dallas Thermometers at once (not to read one-by-one)?

Hi all! I try to run ./demo file, that must make diode blinks on 4 pin. But nothing happens... It finds correct board name (Running on a Orange Pi One), but blinking doesn't works.

look at the text: "behing" should be "behind"

Is it possible to have two operating systems on a SD card with provision to select the OS at bootup (e.g Grub), or selecting OS for next bootup at shutdown ? Rein.

First time trying Armbian on my N2. I know N2 is very picky with HDMI cables, I tried a bunch of HDMI cables and couldn't make it work thru any my HDMI switches(1080p). I had to connect it directly to the HDMI ports on my TV to get video signal. My Samsung TV is a 65inch 4k capable of handling 1080p resolutions with my other arm64 devices(C4, Rpi4, Rockpro64 and N2+) without any issues. Unfortunately, despite of setting resolution to 1080p60(setenv hdmimode "1080p60hz"), disabling auto detection(setenv display_autodetect "false") and setting HDP=true(setenv disablehpd "true") on boot.ini, it keeps ignoring these settings. Just to make sure, I edited both "boot.ini" under …

Hi, I have a cubietruck 3 with a Debian "Buster". I am looking to connect to the MySQL server to reach an outside database. Everywhere, it is said to comment out the line containing "bind-address = 172.0.0.1". This is done and the server listens on all ports. I still can't reach it, there must be something else to do but the tutorials don't say it. Thanks
