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?

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 …

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…

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've correctly set display frequencies and parameters, and the image is displayed correctly... ...except for some random pixel wich sometimes changes color. 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…

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?

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. If I choose a light color, the font color doesn't automatically change to dark, or be set specifically, it stays as white. I cannot put the computer's name on the taskbar. I cannot put the temperature on the taskbar. I cannot put the CPU usage on the taskbar. With the taskbar on the left margin (deskbar), the icons for the launchers are single and huge - the full width of the taskbar, not in rows 0f 24 px icons like with LXDE. I cannot change the r…

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 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…

Hi, I have and Orange Pi PC board on which I'm trying to use Armbian from yestarday, "trying" because I have several different problems on which I investigated also on this forum, but I'm unable to solve at the moment (the reason because I'm writing here). Let's start from the beginning. I downloaded the armbian image from armbian website (https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-pc/), version I'm using now is Armbian 20.08.1 Buster with Linux 5.8.5-sunxi, but I have tried also other versions with exact same behaviour. The first problem is time synchronization root@orangepipc:~# timedatectl Local time: Thu 2020-09-03 16:34:17 CE…

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

This is a bunch of background info, scroll down to TL;DR for my question.... Hello, I am working on developing an application to make single board computers easier to use for non-technical users. You can think of it as something similar to yunohost or freedombox, but with more hand-holding involved around the hardware & network setup. I'm trying to enable people like my mother who've never seen or used a terminal/shell before to be able to set up and operate a server in their home. The general process looks something like this: user downloads my cross platform desktop application called "seedpacket" they run the app and go through a ser…

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. I saw this pagehttps://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/arm/orangepi.html that says qemu has orangepi-pc machine. I built qemu from source but orangepi-pc machine missing. Same for recent ubuntu package. Should i add orangepi-pc machine into qemu and where can i find machine files ? Thanks.

Recently upgraded kernel from 5.7 to 5.8.6-sunxi Unfortunately, got few kernel panics today. How to rollback to previous?

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!

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

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…

Currently the only way to get a working GC2035 camera at Orange PI PC Plus, is to 1) install Armbian 5.20 or 5.23 ( 5.24 / 5.25 and anything newer is known not to work) 2) then you need to carefully apt-get update / apt-get upgrade and hope it doesnt break However, there is a huge problem: Armbian 5.20 and 5.23 images are not available now They should have been available at these links: Armbian 5.20 - https://dl.armbian.com/orangepipcplus/archive/Armbian_5.20_Orangepipcplus_Debian_jessie_default_3.4.112.7z Armbian 5.23 - https://dl.armbian.com/orangepipcplus/archive/Armbian_5.23_Orangepipcplus_Debian_jessie_default_3.4.112.7z …

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?

Hello, I use an Orange Pi 3 H6 with Armbian 20.05.2 Buster (5.8.0-sunxi64) The wifi has been configured as host. A Canon Selphy CP1200 printer has been connected to it.

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 …

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.

I recently reinstall my Tinkerboard with Focal Desktop to start over. I installed xrdp in armbian-config, and RDPed in, there was no wallpaper, no desktop icon, no mouse icon and windows I opened looks weird (but xfce taskbar shows up) I came to the conclusion that it has something to do with auto login, so a quick google leads me to this instruction, I commented the line in "/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/22-armbian-autologin.conf" out, reboot, and the RDP environment works great. Except now there is lightdm-gtk-greeter process in the background that is taking 100% CPU usage in full clock speed, the board became hot (>70 degree Celsius) very quickly. …

Hey guys, I see the HDMI audio is not supported in the status matrix. Do you know what is missing exactly? I read it predepends on DRM driver, do you know which part is missing?

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.

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.

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…

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…

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

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.

Hello. I've received a SATA to USB 3.0 adapter from the Pine64 store. The problem is than the adapter is not fully SAT compliant, so hdparm doesn't work with it. It is described better in this post. And there's an updated firmware for the JMS578 chip which fixes this issue. However, it was made for another device (Odroid HC1), not the device I have. Is it safe to use this firmware in my adapter? Or maybe there's even more fresh firmware exists for JMS578 chips?

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.

Previously i try to install ISPconfig mail server on default armbian-config but not work, then i try Citadel because I already have a little familiarity with this program. After write IOS on mem card and updade/upgrade command I followed the guidelines of the Citadel website which is to execute the following commands: "curl http://easyinstall.citadel.org/install | bash", but after downloading and starting the installation, many error messages appear due to lack of space. Below is some information from my system: IOS version: Armbian_20.05.4_Nanopiduo2_focal_current_5…

Hi @all, is it possible to run a stock Ubuntu Server for ARM (https://ubuntu.com/download/server/arm) on my Banana Pi M1? Don't get me wrong: I love the Armbian images but I try to understand the differences... Thanks in advance

Problem: Wifi Dongle D-Link DWA-131 (RTL8192EU) doesn't work in automated 'armbian-config' program to configure it as an AP. Tried: On a fresh install of Buster Current on SD card, I booted up and did 'armbian-config > Network > Hotspot'. At the end of the setup it said there is no compatible 'hostapd' driver. I also tried an image of FriendlyWRT on this SBC. I could get the Wifi Dongle to be recognized, but radio0 said "device not set", and wifi was 'not associated'. Goal: Get DWA-131 to function as a hotspot on my FriendlyElec NanoPi R2S using armbian (or FriendlyWRT). I want to use this device as a hotspot (or rou…

Greetings, I'm attempting to apply a custom patch during the build process for a bananapi-m2-zero. (specifically, DTS changes) I went into the kernel source, and created a diff, and put it in the user customized patches directory. Unfortunately, the patch failed. So, I dug into it, and discovered the source changes because of patches in the armbian patches/ directory. So, instead I started the build, let these patches apply,, and aborted the build. Then I created the diff again. Sadly, the patch is still being rejected. Now, I might be able to fight with this, and make it work. But the next time I pull a new update it could be broken a…

Hi, im trying to build a receiver with WebRTC. I tried multiple Boards (Raspberry PI 3B, RPI 3B+, AML-S905X-CC, NanoPI Fire3), but none of them had the power to display a Full HD Video. After some research I stumbled up on this article ( https://bootlin.com/blog/tag/allwinner/ ). So now my question would be if I can get Hardware Acceleration in Chromium with the mainline kernel, with Allwinner H2/H3? Or is there any other Option I can get WebRTC Hardware Accelerated? Thanks for the help

I just experienced this old problem with Focal: WD drives inaccessible starting with kernel 4.13 -As the topic is now closed, I'd like to add some information. My drive is a 2.5" 1TB WD10SPZX (WD BLUE). It was connected via a Startech.com port-multiplier. Normally I use only WD RED, but I had to move some large files, so I attached it temporarily.

I have a raspi hat (rak2245) that has 2 versions: a pi-hat version that has a 40 pin-header on it for raspberry pi's , but also a smaller stamp edition. It uses spi and uart to communicate with the pi. I have it running without issues on my orange pi zero, even though the pinheader is a little too large. And via a breadboard I can access all pins just fine. But since I am making my own PCB anyway, I am interested in using the stamp version. The only difference between the stamp and the pi-hat version (aside from the form-factor and pin-out) is that the pi-hat version has an additional eeprom chip to tell the rapsberry pi about the function of the pins apparently. Now…

Hello all, Im new to Armbian and sbc's. I have a OPi Z+2 and NPi Neo Air and they are both being used for the same purpose, will use 2x UART and I2C. I will add software bundles to Debian image for production use. Can anyone tell me if I can use the same Armbian image on both devices ? ie make a single image and then just rely on the Overlay selection on the image to allow our custom software to access correct GPIO automatically for both board types ? Thanks for any advice. Chris

Hi forum members, on my interactive bash I can use the armbian variables like BOARD , BOARD_NAME or BOARDFAMILY, but these variables ard not seen when I try to use them in a bash script. Any hints ?

Hello guys, I have a NOVAsom M7+ board with a RTL8723bs module with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth integrated. The Wi-Fi works normally and without problems, however the Bluetooth isn't detected at all. When I try to open the Bluetooth Manager app gives me this error: "Connection to BlueZ failed. BlueZ daemon is not running. blueman-manager cannot continue. This probably means that there were no Bluetooth adapters detected or Bluetooth daemon was not started". I already searched the internet and found some people with problems related to this module and Bluetooth, does anyone know how to solve this? Best regards

The latest image uses kernel sunxi64 5.4.45 but this doesn't install with apt on my older image, and there is no release for this new version available under https://apt.armbian.com/pool/main/l .

HI, I am using armbian config to set up an hotspot on orangepipcplus I have eth0 and eth1, two different interface connected to the internet when i set up the hotspot, wlan0 will access internet through eth0 I would like to change this on the fly then so that wlan0 can access internet through eth1. I tried a lot of things but not getting anywhere... I looked at the source and tried to redo clear iptables/ apply new iptables nat config but it is not working https://github.com/armbian/config/blob/master/debian-config-jobs#L617 I just changed $DEFAULT_ADAPTER to eth1, and keep $WIRELESS_ADAPTER to wlan0 to run: # Clear iptable…

I am getting a series of errors related to EXT4 zram checksum that look like this one: [3328.749555] EXT4-fs error (device zram0): ext4_readdir:189: inode #11 com find: path var/log/lost+found directory fails checksum at offset 4096 (and other offsets) I've seen a recommendation as a possible fix to the checksum error : disabling metadata_csum, using "tune2fs -O ^metadata_csum /dev/zram0", with the file system umounted (I don't know how to unmount zram) The error apparently is related to bad hardware (not the case) , old kernels that don't support new versions of programs capable of altering the fs. Like a newer checksum feature, or a new…

Hi all, I've installed ISPConfig by the "armbian-config" menu I created several sites on my web server installed in debian Buster and ISPConfig 3.1.15p3. I would like to use phpmyadmin to create an independent database at ISPConfig. When I try to start phpMyadmin (http: // myipadresse / phpmyadmin), I get a 404 error message. I found this post: https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/phpmyadmin-404-not-found-debian-9-3-ispconfig-3.78145/ I applied the first line without difficulty (ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available/phpmyadmin.conf).

Hello, I just bought a new OrangePi 2g-Iot. I'm a total newbie in embedded linux (I work with embedded microcontroller). What I would like to do is to use some of its peripherals like LCD, modifying the kernel and make some graphics with Armbian and QT. Starting from my first tasks, what are the necessary step to: Enable peripherals Modifying some drivers (like UART, for example I would like to implement the TX enable by hardware) Installing some drivers (like LCD) Thank you, Mattia Berton

Hi, I had already compiled ffmpeg on a 32bits OS for my Orange Pi RK3399 when it ran the Orange Pi 32 bits Ubuntu without too much trouble, but now that I have Armbian on my 4B, I'd like to compile ffmpeg too. The issue I have is that gcc is started with bad options (I'm not sure of that, that's what I think I understood): mktemp -u XXXXXX ZgAQ9I test_ld cc test_cc BEGIN /tmp/ffconf.efsAigGe/test.c 1 int main(void){ return 0; } END /tmp/ffconf.efsAigGe/test.c gcc -mfpu=neon -c -o /tmp/ffconf.efsAigGe/test.o /tmp/ffconf.efsAigGe/test.c gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mfpu=neon' C compiler test failed. poddingue@orangepi4-armbian:~/…

Hi there, I don't know yet much about the USB gadget framework, but was wondering it I could use it to make an Orange Pi Zero or One seen as a video sink by the host computer. I know the framework should allow the board to be seen as an audio source, a video source, a Midi device and other things, but could it be seen as a video consumer of some sort ? My goal would be to grab the host's webcam content, encode and stream it on the SBC so that the host's CPU still has resource for other tasks. Does it make sense ? Thanks.

HI all, having finally got my Nanopi m4 v2s setup as I want them ( bionic ) and pretty stable too. I would like to setup a nightly backup , I have Postgres installed so would want that data backed up to . Do any of you have any suggestions as to the best way / strategy to do this ? I have external SSD' and USB drives available

I've copied Armbian Ubuntu Focal onto a brand-new SD card and started it on an Orange Pi Zero. This has worked before with the Bionic version. After setting it up and upgrading all packages, I rebooted and everything was running smoothly. Now I've done the same as before but found that the system is totally slow after running for just one day. It's set up to collect data from a 1-Wire temperature sensor and send it to my server. And it lets the green LED blink twice every 30 seconds to show it's still there and has a network connection. The network is connected via Ethernet cable, WLAN is not used. Observation 1: It took half a minute to login the first time t…

Hi, again: my sdcard was killed by power failure! my system runs on SATA: current buster on cubietruck, boot sequence ->sdcard->sda1 Thus a new sdcard is prepared. I want to save the root on sda1, but tweak the new sdcard to use sda1 root. If I start the armbian-config script for BOOT from "SD - SYSTEM on SATA" my existing sda1 will be overwritten - right? How to fix the new sdcard for using the existing sda1? Holger

Hi I am looking for tips on how to install OpenCL on RockPro64 running headless Armbian_20.05.4_Rockpro64_focal_current_5.4.46. I don't want to install Xorg, just OpenCL for crypto mining benchmarks.

Hello, I want to use nano pi neo2 as a compiler server (for picture rendering with "Blender") Is it possible to forward X11 via ssh ? What img must I use to do this ? (I don't know if server bionic is suitable to do this) Best Regards, Boris

Hello, I am new on the embedded system. I am using Orange Pi zero and I am having stuff with wlan configuration. I want to run the static ip for wifi on the board and reconnect after every time rebooting How I do that? I use 2 files below The eth0 works fine with this setup otherwise the wlan not active even though I used ifconfig wlan0 up but I using ifconfig wlan0 down, it got the static ip like the configuration file then I can't turn on or off using ifconfig up/down one more time Anyone help me? Thanks a lot!

Hello all, I have a Novasom M7 Plus board with a Rockchip RK3328 that initially had an SD card with Armbian. I made the necessary hardware connections to connect to a screen via HDMI and then I followed all the necessary steps to perform the BOOT through the eMMc memory but after transferring the rootfs it will not start via EMMC, only with the SD card it is possible to start the system. I have tried a lot of solutions that I am finding in the forums but I still haven't been able to solve the problem. The goal is to start Armbian without having the SD card inserted.

I have complied R40 board ( not bpi v40) with Armbian kernel and the u-boot hangs and showing BOOT. I was using u-boot 2014-07 and boot0_sdcard.fex and boot_package.fex for bootloader.

Hi, I'd like to setup log2ram so that it never writes to the disk, but rather discards all logs at shutdown. The documentation for log2ram says that if I delete /etc/cron.daily/log2ram it will only sync the logs to the disk at shutdown. But is there a way to have it not even do that? Also, in order to prevent log2ram from filling up all its space in RAM, is it possible to setup an overwrite mechanism so that the logs begin overwriting themselves once they hit the space limit?

Hi, I run a wireguard server in my home. I have a Mac and a couple of iOS devices that can successfully connect to the server, my internet traffic is routed via the home wireguard server and I can access devices in my home network using an address like 192.168.178.200. No problem. Now I want to connect my cubitruck running Armbian Ubuntu 18.04 to my home network. I created a similar configuration as for all of the other devices, wireguard connects after I say `wg-quick up $configname`, with `ip a` I can see a new interface with an IP that corresponds to my configuration, there is a route set (Dst 10.9.0.0 -> Iface $configuration_wg0) BUT …

I read a lot of U Boot documentation the last hours but I still fail at fundamental understanding, like: - where can variables be set? boot.scr obviously, but there is also uEnv.txt boot.cmd armbianEnv.txt ... and in which order and precendence are they parsed? (If I set a variable in different files, which value will be used? first? last? ...) - how is a change made persistent (saveenv does not work) - Can sub-variables be changed, e.g. root in bootargs what I am trying to achieve atm is to change the boot partion rootdev from p1 to p2. Even thou I think I patched the relevant files, printenv shows that bootargs and rootdev are still set to…

I am trying to setup my Odroid-XU4 with Armbian 20.05.2 booting from MMC and no SDCard in slot. It took me a while but finally I found what I needed. Next I've installed OpenMediaVault using armbian-config, that worked well. Within OMV I've tried to setup VLANs which I could define but they didn't work, so I had to take a deeper look into it. I've found that the interface name needed to be reverted back to eth0 since the new naming convention enx<MAC-address without ":"> uses the max available number of characters already: In my case "enx001e06320261" , so if you add a vlan "enx001e06320261.1" the name is to long, it will not start. This could be so…
