I've been using debian on all my systems for a long time. On my x86 and x64 systems, debian_version always gets updated after dist-upgrades and upgrades. It has never been the case for my embedded boards running armbian jessie. I tried to research into what actually does the trigger, but I can't find any details. When I log in, my splashscreen confirms there are no new updates (I updated this morning). It's still showing 8.0 in /etc/debian_version. I expect to see /etc/debian_version reflect 8.4 Any ideas? sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... The fo…

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…

So, as the title describes, I flashed Armbian Jammy Minimal CLI to a micro SD card and booted my lepotato, and was able to setup a user and update it via apt, set a static IP, but armbian-config is not an available command. I have a armbianmonitor log uploaded here: https://paste.armbian.com/berejipusu When I try to run armbian-config, well, which doesn't work, and autocomplete for "armbain" gives me these options: armbian-add-overlay armbian-install armbianmonitor Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I am new to Armbian and need some help. I tried to install Armbian 26.2.0-trunk (https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-neo/#collapse-widget-5-0-0-0) on a NanoPi NEO Core SBC. I used Armbian Imager and wrote the latest official image (the only one available) to the SD card. After writing the image, I see only one partition on the SD card named armbi_root. When I insert the card into the device and power it on, nothing happens — there are no boot messages or logs. I think the image is missing a bootloader. So my questions are: 1) If I’m right that the bootloader is missing, how can I add a bootloader to the image? 2) How can…

Apologies for this noob question but I am still new to Ubunto. If a piece of software is currently available as a binary archive only and the accompanying installation advises unzipping it to "a folder" and running the software from this place I presume this is not really advisable, as would be the same in the Windows world. In which case, should I install the software in, say, /usr/share and run it from there or is it okay to just unzip it and run it out of the /home/[username]/ directory? Thanks!

I have removed these packages: iw wireless-regdb rfkill hostapd (no wifi) ntfs-3g btrfs-progs (filesystems I don't use) stress iozone3 (benchmarks) qrencode (huh?!) alsa-utils (no sound) ifenslave (not needed I think) sunxi-tools (different processor) command-not-found (don't want it) And then apt autoremove to remove corresponding libraries etc.

I had install mongodb it can run manually by command :mongod But I can't start service or enable service Help me please

I need certificate AP6210 in regulatory agency here in Brazil (ANATEL). My AP6210 works very well, no problems. I have certificate a similar WIFI/BT module that use Broadcom too in recent past and for this manufacturer send two things: 1. A mfg firmware that enable module hardware control (to set power, channel, duty cycle, technology, etc); 2. A tool called wl that allows send commands For bluetooth a little program that controls this part. I'm looking for similar tools for certificate AP6210 but I cant find this anywhere. I have tried contact with AMPAK and no answer. Appreciate for any help.

Why is the support of the Banana M2 model on the A31c processor stopped? I am ready to become a tester. In the firmware in the "overlay" folder there are "dtbo" files for sun6i and sun8i, but they are absent sun7i-***.dtbo, which makes it impossible to work on the a31c board with sound and serial interfaces. Please return the missing files to the firmware or provide a link where you can download them.

For some special reason, I want to make sure bluetooth is completely disabled. I have done the following: 1. Try to run hcitool & bluetoothctl. Both commands are unavailable on the system. 2. Run "systemctl status bluetooth", it says "Unit bluetooth.service could not be found." 3. Run "service --status-all", it doesn't show bluetooth entry. I'd assume bluetooth isn't enabled, but when I run "dmesg |grep Bluetooth", it shows: [ 13.744331] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.22 [ 13.744337] Bluetooth: Starting self testing [ 13.761692] Bluetooth: ECDH test passed in 16935 usecs [ 13.764626] Bluetooth: SMP test passed in 280…

Hey Gang, I'm a very novice linux user, just know enough to get around and follow instructions for the most part. I recently started getting the following error when trying to ssh to my armbian box from an up to date macbook. Unable to negotiate with <ip address> port 22: no matching host key type found. Their offer: rsa-sha2-512,rsa-sha2-256,ecdsa-sha2-nistp256,ssh-ed25519 I've read online that you can get around this with "-oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss" temporarily, but I cant seem to find a guide on how to regenerate the host keys on armbian to match more current standards (or what I assume is ssh's up to date minimum) Doe…

I am running Debian 9 on Bananapi M1 with custom built image.

Hi, My ODROID-HC2 has just arrived and I flashed a SDCard with a fresh Armbian Sketcher fot it. Did the initial configuration, with apt-upgrade and then opened Armbian-config and selected to install OpenmediaVault (the only other things installed are SAMBA and Softether). The installation started whiteout any problem, but I got some errors the it tried to install openmediavault extras package. Since all logs were vanished after the install stopped, I cannot post here.

Hi, Can anybody tell me where to find the source for the A20 NAND U-boot found in the Armbian Cubietruck releases ? I've been using an old copy of the linux-sunxi u-boot git. I've recently updated it but the config in the lichee-dev-a20 branch seems to be for Android only and has no provision to load boot.scr. Thanks, Steven

Hey everyone, I'm eyeing the Orange Pi 6 Plus for some edge AI projects, given its 12-core CIX SoC, up to 28.8 TOPS NPU, and massive RAM options (16/32/64GB LPDDR5). Has anyone gotten Ollama running on it with NPU acceleration? Does it support it out of the box, or do you need to convert models (e.g., to INT4/INT8 formats) using custom tools like rkllama or similar? Additionally, with the higher RAM, can it handle bigger LLMs (like 13B+ models) more smoothly than lower-spec SBCs? Any benchmarks or tips on setups (e.g., Ubuntu/Debian installs, frameworks like MLC-LLM)? I'd love to hear real-world experiences—thanks!

Hey guys, Some questions about LCD interfacing. I have a A20 board and 2 LCD, one 640*480 3.5" (FJ035CI54-R40), one 320*240 3.5" (LQ035NC111, same as bananapi LCD).

Good morning, Since last week I do not manage to compile armbian anymore. I checked out commit c1cfd6059bac4ced7f4901e19acc017d1e92d8ba on repo https://github.com/armbian/build.git and launched the following command : compile.sh docker USE_MAINLINE_GOOGLE_MIRROR=yes BOARD=orangepizero BRANCH=current BUILD_KSRC=no RELEASE=bullseye BUILD_DESKTO P=no BUILD_MINIMAL=yes KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no ROOTFS_TYPE=ext4 BOOTFS_TYPE=fat COMPRESS_OUTPUTIMAGE=sha,img I always get the 'htop' error: E: Failed to fetch http://armbian.systemonachip.net/apt/pool/bullseye-utils/h/htop/htop_3.1.0-0~armbian20.08.2+1_armhf.deb 404 Not Found [IP: …

I'm building a multi-zone music streaming setup built around an SBCs running Snapcast/MPD and this MA12070P board (AliExpress link). From the pinout diagrams it looks like the board is the same as the Merus Audio Amp Hat just with a built in USB-C PD supply (why I want to use this board). If it's a clone then it looks like support is in Raspberry Pi OS, but I want to use the Radxa Zero 3W since I can get it at a similar price point with better specs. This is my first embedded project since ~2019 so a bit out of my depth when it comes to device tree overlays. How would I write a DTO to enable audio output to this device?

HowTo install Firefox in Armbian?

ENG (GTranslator) Hello friends. I have an Orange Pi Zero v1.1 running perfectly with ARMbian 3.4.113 server and I connect via PUTTY SSH Client. I use the OPI to control a PRUSA Steel 3D printer with the Octoprint program and I am very happy with the results. For reasons of mobility and distance, I came up with the idea of being able to compile Marlin Firmware updates through the OPI Zero. I've searched and everything found is meant to use the Arduino IDE in graphical mode with X-Window. But as you know the ARMbian for the IPO Zero lacks a graphical system and everything moves by terminal. Can you help me with this question? Do you know how to do termi…

Hi all, Semi-noob here so please be patient :) With the OPi Zero having rubbish WiFi I added a USB WiFi adaptor. I know it works as I've been using it on my OPi One running Retrorangepi. The Zero will be running OctoPrint in a room too far away from the router to run Ethernet cables. To initially set it up I connected the Zero to my router, logged in and disabled the onboard wireless adaptor, plugged in the USB and rebooted. Ran armbian-config and set up a static IP (192.168.1.30). Then I shutdown the Zero and unplugged the Ethernet cable and powered up the Zero again. Lan scan shows the IP address as up but ping shows 100% …

Hello, I am wondering about the support of kernel-updates for the hardkernel SBCs like N2/N2+, C4 oder HC1/2. The current available kernels are pretty outdated and on level 5.10.81 or 5.4.160. Will there be soon new kernels available especially, as we are now facing the Dirty pipe exploit? Thanks! regards, Udo

I am building a custom image for rpi4b and everything works great so far. I only want to customize the installed packets and configuration, but I do not need a custom kernel. Since building the kernel is what takes by a wide margin most of the image generation time, I was wondering if there's a way to build the image without building the kernel (using the one from the official builds). I have browsed the documentation and found no way, so maybe it is not supported and building the kernel is mandatory?

I have connected matrix led display on max7219 by spi to orangepi. Module max7219 have power supply from 5v. On some during a 220v power failure (sparking between wires suspended on poles), there were some disruptions in the 5v power supply. This damaged the max7219 modules and possible spi port on orange pi. After this failure, the /boot/armbianEnv.txt file contained a fragment of the logrotate file, the kernel on the orange pi is unable to initialize the spi port despite no wires being connected. After connecting a working orange pi to the max7219 module, the problem with spi initialization also appears. Dmesg does not show anything related to spi, there is no /dev…

Two days ago I was able to build a minimal server installation of Bullseye Armbian for this board with no problems.

Greetings! My first foray into Armbian. Apparently the Link Star H68K is hardware equivalent to the Hinlink H68K. I'm trying to install one of the community supported Armbian images (Debian Trixie, Ubuntu 26.04) for the Hinlink onto a Link Star H68K, using the RKDevTool from the Seeed Studio wiki. And failing. The only image that loads into RKDevTool is the Lubuntu 20.04 from the Seeed Studio wiki. It's just a tad out of date. Any pointers on getting a more up-to-date OS installed would be most welcome. AFAIK my device is OG, not V2. I've also tried booting from TF card, but the device refuses to boot at all wit…

I just attempted several builds of Build-Armbian, 5.67 bionic 5.0 rc1 with S9xxx board. None of them will boot. It's almost like it's not reading the DTB right. It just sits at the MXQPro logo screen. I've edited to extlinux.conf and the uEnv.ini and even created a dtb.img but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I've used this same dtb with builds produced by balbes150 and it worked fine. I'm a noob, but I'm not just trying to get this running. I plan to contribute to the project if possible. I was a software engineer in a past life. Any hints in the right direction would be much appreciated. For instance, is there a way to see the boot console so I can se…

Trying to set frequencies and governor for both types of CPUs on this processor. armbian-config sets the max freq and governor correctly for the two big proccesors but no config for little. Tried cpufreq-set for little, but it does not respect governor. If its set to a freq is stays there indefinitely, and if conservative governor is set the max freq goes back to 1.5. How do we set max freq to 1.2 for little, and governor to conservative and have both stick like big does with armbian-config?

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 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…

hello dear All, first of all - i am very glad to be here in this great forum. i have heard that i can run Armbian on Orange Pi as well. And i have also heard some thing regading H6.

Hi all, I've been reading a lot about VPU acceleration for h264 decoding and encoding. However, it seems that there is not much regarding transcoding (decoding + encoding). I would be interested in decoding 1080p h264 and encoding it back to 720p h264 in realtime. Ideally having that operation on 2 streams in parallel would be great. I've seen that quite some work has been done in cedrus As I can, h264 decoding seems to be supported but encoding is unclear. And there is obviously no comment about running both operations at the same time. Since I would like to run a few tests and maybe help a bit, what hardware should I order…

I tested LXDE on Bananian but it wasn't successful.

I must have some conflicting options, or my understanding of what these options do is wrong. Can someone help? I did a complete image build. Now, I just want to rebuild the kernel. ./compile.sh CLEAN_LEVEL="make" CREATE_PATCHES="yes" BOARD="bananapim2zero" BRANCH="legacy" RELEASE="buster" KERNEL_ONLY="yes" KERNEL_CONFIGURE="no" As I read the documentation, "make" in CLEAN_LEVEL indicates it will "make clean" in the uboot and linux sources. KERNEL_ONLY="yes" will rebuild only the kernel. [ o.k. ] Using config file [ /home/jgauthier/armbian54/build/userpatches/config-example.conf ] [ o.k. ] Command line: setting CLEAN_LEVEL to [ make ] [ o…

Hi! After installing mesa-va-drivers and vainfo, I'm only getting an error message that `rockchip_drv_video.so` is missing. So, evidently there's a VA driver registered and available (somewhere), but the file is missing? Where do I find it, how do I install it? Thank you

What is the the best reasonably priced camera module for Orangepi models these days? Raspberry has 5 and 8 megapixel camera modules from 7-30 euros. Orangepi has only 2 megapixel cameras. Or has a 5MP cameramode come available for Orangepi also? I've looked at Aliexpress and nothing seems to have changed.

Hi, which is the correct way to add additional bootargs using /boot/armbianEnv.txt ? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, I installed more than one year ago pi-hole on a Orange Zero, since two/three month the admin panel of pi-hole remind me that there is a new pi-hole version available. I cannot figure out which is the correct way to upgrade it. Will the upgrade be released as a package through the armbian apt repository? I mean, will I get this upgrade with apt-get upgrade sooner or later? Are there other ways to upgrage it? Thanks.

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.

Hey all, New to Armbian, installed to an Orange Pi 5. Installed XRDP - works fine in root (desktop shows) but if I try to do it as a user I just get a black screen with cursor. From searching I can see posts about already being logged in as a user already, and therefore black for privacy but I've not logged in as the user prior? Cant find anything really conclusive explaining how to resolve this Also even in root if I get logged out of desktop (RDP session still active, i.e. desktop lock screen) my root password doesn't work. Password is clearly not wrong

From https://www.armbian.com/odroid-hc1/ I have downloaded Armbian_20.05.2_Odroidxu4_buster_legacy_4.14.180.img.xz on several different machines and internet connections and done a checksum verification using several different utilities and there is always a mismatch. Armbian_20.05.1_Odroidxu4_buster_legacy_4.14.180.img.xz.sha says the SHA-256 checksum should be DDAF33314FAE4515E047702257CCA93CC0C088D73F81118EA8CE6911E89210EB but the checksum utilities always report E8E31E653798EBC0FFCE9205A6D7BD625EA58F8728339E4D04604A002D737DEE I downloaded Armbian_20.05.2_Odroidxu4_focal_current_5.4.41.img.xz (which doesn't work wi…

My printer doesn't work. Armbian sees the printer but I cannot print anything. Via console command or for example Google Chrome print it doesn't work. My printer is a cannon printer. And the system is a new system, has nothing changed. As I mentioned in the title, it's a plus 2 board. Also the system is up-to-date. SOLVED ------ Installed cups-driver-gutenprint then my printer appeared on the list. "apt-get install cups-driver-gutenprint"

I am trying to figure out how to compile and load the Xradio drivers onto an orange pi zero LTS. I am having some troubles with the xradio drivers that came with my image and am hoping that https://github.com/fifteenhex/xradio will add some improvements. There does seem to be some code change so I am remaining optimistic. I am able to compile the drivers with the kernel from https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/orangepi-build but it crashes network manager and a few other modules when I try to modprobe it, I am guessing it is because this kernel is not an armbian kernel. I am trying to get the kernel https://github.com/armbian/build to work, but it doesn't look…

Hello, i have Waveshare 10.1 lcd and trying to get USB touch working. On mainline it is working out of the box, but on legacy its not working at all. With dmesg i can see that the device is recognized and hid-multitouch is using it, i can even see the device is working through xxd -c 11 /dev/hidraw3 but the touch doesnt work in the system. Does anyone have working solution to this? Thanks!

I read that armbian bullseye for odroid HC2 is still unstable, while it is considered stable for other boards. Can somone explain the reaseon for this? Or point me to a place where this is discussed? If I knew what the reason is and it would be not important for my application, I could switch to bullseye now. Regards, jba

Hello I use a odroid c2 und create a full img backup. Can i use this in a newer odroid like too? I have some programms etc on it and don't want to reinstall it.

Hi, I realise the NeoCore is not yet supported, but I hope someone can help me with a problem that I am having using the GPIO as buttons. I would like to use the gpio marked GPIOPA13,P A14, PA15,P A16 and PA2 I think these are used by the UART and SPI - I don't require this functionality. I think I have to modify the fex, I have looked, but do not want to kill my system Isit possible to use those gpio? Can someone point me in the right direction? TIA. J.

Has anyone tried to install PiVPN or EasyRSA on a Rock64? I tried this and had some issues where EasyRSA did not install. No errors were shown on the install or captured in the install log. Took me a while to figure out that EasyRSA was not installed. It even created .opvn files for clients... I finally figured out what happened. Did some research and found a suggestion to manually install some packages BEFORE installing PiVPN. That seems to work, so now I have a working VPN. I just wanted to see if anyone else is having an issue. I will also post on the PiVPN Github site to get their input. Thanks!

I have a problem with a script python that is running in the background, this script needs to run all the time without stopping, but the script freezes or stops without error, when I change for another card, it works for a few days and then the same thing happens, however the debian system continues to work perfectly, only the background script stops working, I already debugged the code and it has no problem making it stop. my sdcard is MicroDrive class 10, 8Gb. what could be causing this problem?

Hey there, we are using the Olimex Lime (A20) and the Debian Wheezy image of Igor. Great work. We were wondering what you strategies are concerning updating all relevant system parts (bootloader/kernel/application). Is there any reference implementation that anyone could recommend? We are following the trend of building "Murphy-compatible" (https://www.kernel.org/doc/ols/2005/ols2005v1-pages-21-36.pdf) update mechanisms, but are looking how it is best done. Application wise this can be fairly easy be done via docker - which we are using - but what mechanisms are used for the bootloader itself and the kernel. The should be an atomic update procedure an…

Hi all, I have a Allwinner box (A31s, 1G memory, 8G eMMC). Armbian worked very well when I booted it from SDCard. But after I installed Armbian to its eMMC by following the guide, my box could not boot again from either eMMC or SDCard. I guess "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1024 seek=8 count=1" killed the box. The TTL shows below error message ================================================================ U-Boot SPL 2017.01-armbian (Feb 02 2017 - 01:58:31) DRAM: 1024 MiB Trying to boot from MMC2MMC Device 1 not found spl: could not find mmc device. error: -19 SPL: failed to boot from all boot devices ### ERROR ### Please…

Hi all, I use a cubieboard3 as a web server. For several months, joomla tells me that I am PHP 7.0.33-0 + deb9u7et that I need to update my version of php to 7.3 or later.

Where has enabling things like I2C moved to ? I do not see it any more in armbian-config (at least on the Orange Pi 5 plus image) Thanks

On http://docs.armbian.com/Release_Changelog/I see am Armbian 5.25 with many improvements But on https://dl.armbian.com/orangepipc/the files seem to be 5.24 and older, even the nightly versions. I am interested in the sunxi mainline version with kernel 4.9. Thanks in advance! Christian

Hello to all, after plug a CDC device (Honeywell 1900 USB scanner), only one USB port on orange pi pc board works, I use 10 orange pi boards, the problem is only present int two of this boards. I notice that when I plug the CDC device alone the other ports not to work, but when I connect the CDC with another devices (mouse, keyboards) the problem is not present. I reinstall the img and the problem persists. The two USB ports not to work anymore. I think that is a hardware problem because the 5V in the two USB ports are not present, and the plugged devices not to work! I use Armbian_5.83_Orangepipc_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop.img …

With the Orange Pi Zero 2 (Bullseye), when in Armbian-config I install desktop with browser...it seems working but when you enable the desktop it finished by a kill() in the terminal. You can solve the issue by apt-get install tightdm.after and not before. You will get the desktop for the user and not root. Grey Background with the pinguin. If you install Desktop in Bullseye with Orange Pi One Plus or Orange Pi Zero, no issue. You have the new Debian Desktop with a Background dark blue. Regards F1ATB.fr

The hardware watchdog /dev/watchdog does not reboot the board in a brand new installation with 22.02 image. What happens instead is the green LED on board goes off, both LEDs on ethernet port go on and thats it - boards halt. However, if I flash previous 21.08 to sdcard everything works fine, even after I upgraded the installation via apt-get update & apt-get upgrade to latest packages.
