I am trying to install box86 and possibly box64 on my Orange pi zero 2w. I tried using armbian-gaming as well as following the instructions found here, and attempting to build box86 with both resulted in a gcc error unrecognized command line option '-marm' Upon attempting to build box64 with the instructions, I get a make error 2, and the topmost error is a ccl error unknown value 'loongarch64' for '-march' This seems to be cross-compilation errors, but IDK what steps to take to fix it. Thanks in advance! QuowLord

I have a project where I would like to connect two project boards together with an Ethernet cable. No router, no hub, just two boards with a patch of cat5 between them. In order to make this work I need to get a Link-local IPv4 address on each (RFC 3927). I believe this is done with avahi, but I'm unsure if avahi is simply name resolution or if it performs the link-local address allocation as well. Anyway here's what I've tried: sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon avahi-discover libnss-mdns # sudo reboot -r now # systemctl script on reboot to log IP to file with `hostname -I` What I find is that when I'm hooked up to my router `hostname -I` reports wha…

Hello there, My board had just rebooted with no notice, so I wanted to take a look at /var/log/syslog in order to diagnose the issue, but for some reason, there are no logs between Dec 30 and the moment my board rebooted. Why are logs missing? What do I need to do in order to keep them the next time my board reboots? Also, am I looking at the right place to diagnose reboots? Thanks for you help! PS1: My board is the Helios64 and I'm running Armbian 20.11.4 Buster with OMV 5. PS2: I know there is an Helios64 Club, though I did not choose to post there as I'm not sure if this issue is specific to that board.

Hi. I'm try use "wget -q -O - http://upgrade.armbian.com| bash" for Odroid C0, but have error "Unsupported hw"... How can I fix it?

I need to get an armbian focal image for the Rpi4b. I've checked in https://archive.armbian.com and it only shows the current jammy variant. If anyone could tell me where I can download the deprecated images, it would be much appreciated.

Hello. I am getting a kernel oops when I setup a masq firewall using firehol. It happenes when a device on the internal net trys anything more than a ping, like loading a web page or doing a speedtest. My network uses interface wlx??? as my external connection to the outside world (internet) and the builtin eth0 as my internal masq’d network (192.168.77.0/24). I am running armbian ubuntu, upgraded (up to date), with the kernel 4.10.0-sun8i and netmanager to configure the interfaces themselves. When I replace eth0 with a cheap usb dongle, everything just works so it seems isolated to the builtin eth0. My eth0 is configured to…

Hi, I have a nanopi neo SBC and my final goal is to get Sunxi-cedrus 2019.03_Release (patched kernel 5.0.0 release) installed on device to test cedrus driver. Did a manual kernel build and tried to dpkg -i *.deb files on the board but the kernel hangs on boot. I read also but that didn't help me so much So I tried same procedure to replace the armbian standard 4.19.20 kernel with an official mainline 4.19.36 version. I found same exact issue so I think I'm missing something. Please have a quick read at the procedure I followed and put any advice to help me going through. 1) touch default kernel .config to have: -…

Before I file a bug for this, I want to make sure I'm not doing something wrong. I am trying to enable PPS on GPIO pin PD14 of an Orange Pi PC2.

Hi, Is it possible to run the same SD that is running on NanoPi neo with Armbian on NanoPi Neo AIR or due? Thanks

First off, awesome job on all the Orange PI images. I have only had chance to try the Orange PI 2 image so far There are small issues I can find ,I don't know if their known: I cannot set resolution at all, its stuck on some low one. Doing it with this method here will result in black screen (I tested both with 50 and 60 hz): nano /boot/boot.cmd # example: # change example from # disp.screen0_output_mode=1920x1080p60 # to # disp.screen0_output_mode=1280x720p60 mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.scr Second issue is that reboot command just makes the machine die, it does not come up again. And finally a tiny …

Hello, My sunxi_tp_temp always reports the same value (429496576.0). After digging around, it seems like it's not reading the correct registers. According to the H3 datasheet(1), pp 255-258, the thermal sensor base is at 0x01C25000. The data register is at 0x01C25080. Using the mod_mmio.h and sunxi_tp_temp.c as a guide, I wrote a little utility to print the current SoC temp. #include <stdio.h> #include "mod_mmio.h" // improved temperature print utility // GPLv2 int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { float reading,celsius,farenheit; reading = (float)mmio_read(0x01c25080); //celsius = (reading - 2794.0) / -14.882; Allwinner H3 datasheet formula cels…

While using ubuntu1604-kernel4.4-VAAPLI.img I took downloaded from the server, I came across the following problem. While trying to develop device drivers for kernel space, I realized we dont have any linux headers in the said system. I have tried looking up for the same at Rockchip's github as well as wiki site, but could not find one. Can anyone point me to the correct linux headers ? I am using RK3288 development board, and current my version using "uname -r" is "4.4.55+"

Hi everyone, After migrating to a nvme ssd using the recommended official adapters, I've run into this issue. (Been really frustrating not been able to boot reliably, replug it until it works) Before I migrated, if I went fdisk -l it would start flashing and always show up. It's only when booting, it seems to be unable to boot/stay on most of the time. 1) I put power into pi. 2) The ssd blinks, if it stops blinking, it didn't boot. If it keeps blinking success. Is there a way to delay mounting the ssd or better debug this issue?

On Xenial A64 I added an entry for a LUKS partition into /etc/crypttab (after installing cryptsetup which added its stuff to uBoot). But at boot I don't get asked for a password If I add a timeout in crypttab, boot continues with a rescue console, if not it hangs forever. Other than that I have no clue what's going on, journalctl only shows "systemd-cryptsetup failed, status 1" obviously because no password was given. I also added dm-crypt to modules and called update-initramfs, but that didn't change anything

Hello, I'm attempting to port an unknown rk3399 board to Linux from Android with kernerl 4.4. I managed to extract the devicetree and it's slowly coming along with poking arround and mixing and matching and comparing devicetrees (it's not easy but I got time ;-) ) The board uses a tc358775 converter for the lvds display since the rk3399 doesn't have one built in. With patch from here: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16747-orange-pi-4-kernel-510y-mipi-dsi-panel-sucessful/ it started to show some signs of life. The screen is lighting up seems to have activities but it's just showing bars. I'm not sure if it's a timing issues, but I used…

There is a topic in allwinner subforum about the instability of the kernel 4.14.18 on some allwinner devices. I got that stability issues on my banana pi m1, and notice that the last kernel available on armbian still the 4.14.18. Today I also run apt upgrade on raspberry pi 3 and it installed the kernel 4.14.30 that stop the ipsec vpn working, the same as in 4.14.18 used on armbian. I feel some frustration on the latest kernel updates, and wondering if anyone have some info about the next kernel update that solve this issues. Do you advise me to change to nightly builds to get a new kernel to test?

i am using armbian 24.2.1 debian bookworm inn orangepi 5b. At first i used sd card to boot. then i wanted to use emmc to boot. so i went to armbian-config and install os in emmc from there from sd card. now it is booting from emmc if the sd card is not connected but if the sd card is connected it is booting from sd card. The worst part is, if i connect a sd card where there is no OS, it will not even boot. How can i set a order like if there is bootable os in emmc boot from there and use the sd card as storage if not boot from sd card ?

Hi. Can someone please kindly shed a light on Armbian / Debian / Sunxi release information that is confusing me: I run Armbian Buster on two Cubietruck systems - one was freshly installed, the other upgraded from a previous installation. Both systems were apt-updated/apt-upgraded most recently with identical /etc/apt/sources.list, and subsequently rebooted. Both systems report identical "uname -a" (=Linux ... 5.4.30-sunxi #20.02.9 SMP) and /etc/debian_version (=10.3) information. The /boot folders have identical zImage resp. uInitrd links pointing to identical targets. Still the /etc/armbian-release resp. /etc/armbian-image-release infos differ: …

Hi all! I just received a NanoPi R4S, and I got a 128GB microSDXC for it. I loaded the rk3399-sd-friendlywrt-21.02-20220721 image onto it using win32diskimager. I put the SD card in, plugged in a USB-C, and let it setup for a few minutes. When it seemed ready, I plugged my laptop into the LAN port and went to its page. I logged in, all looked good. After setting a password, I tried changing some of the LAN and WAN settings, and the page stopped loading. I waited, but nothing happened. As as how I couldn't give a proper shutdown command, I disconnected the power and plugged back in. The NanoPi then booted, but the Sys light k…

Hello all! Noticing a problem with the latest versions of armbian (I'm using the files avaliable here. In particular I was using the "bullseye_current" image however I also tried some of the files in the archive. Unfortunatly wifi dosen't seem to be quite 100% in these images -- I'm unable to connect to the internet via wifi and I'm also finding the m2 zero can barely find any wifi devices at all.

I have been trying to get a 7" waveshare touchscreen to work with the orange pi zero2. I've checked that the touchscreen isn't faulty by using with a raspberry pi. I also checked that the output from the orange pi is working by using my computer monitor. It just doesn't want to output to the touchscreen (hdmi).There seems to be some thin grey horizontal lines. I do get a flicker at startup of the orange pi, but that is about it. Any idea's? I'm new to armbian, so if you have an idea, please list me some steps or point me to some documentation to help. I appreciate the help.

When i set up armbian after first boot, when the screen went to the bottom line, the resolution would not allow me to see the bottom line, so when it asked me to set a password for the user, i hit return - it allowed me to enter a blank password, but now when i try to config for sudo, it does not accept a blank password. If i reinstall the same thing will happen. is there anyway to change or set the admin password from a blank password? 1234 does not work or the new password i set up for root also does not work.

I´m new to arm and linux; could you pls tell me how can i disable the login prompt at startup still in the command lines ? Thanks

Hello everyone, I'm new user about SBC and armbian. I recently purchased this SBC - purple-pi-oh (rk3566, Number/type of interfaces similar to Raspberry Pi), It has opened up its linux sdk and more. Because its default image version is older, and does not support k3s, cilium, etc (I'm a k8s ops), so I want to use armbian with it. I first directly downloaded and tried all rk3566/3568 images of other SBCs, such as station m2/station p2/Bananapir2pro, etc., and the most pleasant surprise was that using the station m2 image, purple pi oh almost works (can run through the installation process, mouse/keyboard/hdmi monitor works fine), t…

When i run from sdcard on first boot it asks a series of questions and sets up the sd card. Image from here: https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-4-lts/ I then run ambian-install to install to emmc, then reboot. At this point it asks for a login, and the default (root 1245) doesnt work, or the ones i created on the sd card do not work! How can i login to the device after install and configure it?

Hello! I was very happy, when the first OrangePI came out and had HDMI and VGA output. With this device it was possible to use the board with two monitors (mirror desktop and expand desktop) I use this board as thin-client in our office - connecting to windows server via rdesktop. Another way we use the boared is working with one monitor via rdesktop and running with the other Monitor or TV-Set a webpage witch is displaying infos. It is running perfect and we can save money because there is very low energy consumation and the OPIs are cheap. I think this kind of using the OPI wourd have good future. Now this board is no more availabe. I am not a tec…

Hi, I've seen the question asked many times but there is no working solution for this( ? ) Hardware: Odroid N2 500GB Samsung USB3.1 T5 SSD What i've done: Downloaded the Odroid N2 image Put in on the SSD It boots and it installs without problems. but with a problem and that it's NOT resizing the partition like it does when you install on a SD-card. I edited the boot.ini and the fstab to use /dev/sda1. I even edited the /usr/lib/armbian/armbian-resize-filesystem to hardcode /dev/sda1 into the file When i run sudo systemctl start armbian-resize-filesystem nothing happens. Well if i added an extra partition it's gone after that. Lu…

Hi everyone, I just installed Armbian on my OrangePi 5, but I can't get it to recognize the NVMe drive. I've tried the official OrangePi Ubuntu distro, and it detects the NVMe without any issues. However, when using Armbian, it simply doesn't show up. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I would really like to use Armbian, but it seems unable to detect the NVMe on this particular device. Interestingly, I have another OrangePi 5 Pro where I installed Armbian, and it recognizes the NVMe and works perfectly fine — but not on the standard OrangePi 5. Does anyone know how to fix this issue, or can you recommend a good alternative? …

I would kindly like to ask you to enable the intermediate functional block, ifb, as a module in the default kernel config for the BPI-R1 CONFIG_IFB=m It should not hurt anyone as it is just a module. The ifb network device is quite useful when doing experiments with tc (trafficx control), and it is absolutely necessary when you want to affect incoming traffic (normal tc netem works only on outgoing packets) Thank you.

Hey folks, I'm looking to build a little portable server to hold a local mirror of my cloud drive and run a light-duty testing server for medium-weight web apps (Django, big PHP blobs, etc). 2GB RAM, SATA support, and fanless are critical, USB 3.0 and GPIO ready to go with no soldering a big plus. I'm planning to get a 500GB SSD and use an Alfa AWUS036ACH 802.11ac USB dongle. Box will run headless except for configuration. I was looking at the EspressoBin but kernel support appears to still be incomplete and there isn't that big of a userbase. I also don't need two of the Ethernet ports on that board. I've looked around and it seems the combo of >1GB RAM + …

Hi all, I just downloaded the latest Armbian Bionic release and tried the new 5.0 kernel. So far everything looks good, but I can't get openvpn to work.

Hello again all, Following the success of my last need to post here I changed my Odroid N2+ Plex server over to Armbian (making two Armbian-running Odroids in the house). The N2+ is running Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) with Linux 5.9.6-meson64 I have had a few occasions where I have encountered a system-wide freeze. Today's lasted over an hour, whilst others have unfrozen after ~20-30 minutes. Today the machine was ping-able but attempts to ssh in were unsuccessful though there was no timeout and no error messages when trying. Prior to that I was listening to some music in which the playback was faltering, leaving silence for several seconds duration b…

I have an Orangepi PC with OS: Armbian_19.11.6_Orangepipc_buster_current_5.4.8_desktop... I'm trying to communicate hardware through the UART1 ports (GPIO198 and GPIO199, respectively pins 8 and 10), but I'm not able to enable the ports, I've tried modify the file "un8i-h3-orangepi-pc-plus.dtb" but I couldn't, I also tried the solution proposed in this topic: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/1524-orange-pi-one-how-to-enable-uart/ but I couldn't find the script.bin file in the boot folder... I also tried using Minicom, and the message Offline appears. I need to activate UART1 and configure it with 19200,8,1,N. Any tips?

I am just looking for a working image that would have the 8821CU working. I've been able to make it work on Ordoid HC-4, but on N2+, it didn't work. Also, my N2 setup on armbian had some problem. I launched sudo armbian-config, tried to install headers and firmware, but I couldn't. It didn't provide any error message, it just showed the loading bar and quitted quickly (as if it completed). Then I tried Nigthly and I was able to download headers and firmware, but still wasn't able to get 8821CU working (now thinking about it, I don't recall checking out if it was detected from lsusb... I'm not entirely sure). Then I went back to stable and now I'm no longer able to bo…

Different trusted USB wifi modules are available at https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-neo/ , but my concern is trying to choose between different wireless modes such as 802.11 b or 802.11 n for example and type of wireless connection as access point or ad-hoc. through iw command you might be able to switch between modes and types of wireless connection but it is also related to the usb WIFI module whether it allows such an operation or not ! already purchased a usb wifi module (but not of the trusted ones) and it did not allow me to choose between modes but was able to choose ad-hoc. so does any of these https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-neo/ usb WIFI modules …

Hi, I'm new at this forum and I'm a little more than a newbie about linux for embedded systems. I need quickly to start an application on login of armbian, after the autologin of the user(no root). I don't know how to do. I did it in the past on archlinux using getty on tty1, but on armbian it not work. I put my application on /home/user/.profile. The system start, then I connect with ssh and my application start. It seems start as no logged user. Maybe is my board(nanopi neo) that has not output video and I can see output only with ssh or serial cable. Any advice ? Thanks a lot in advance

I am running a Plex Media Server on a headless Orange Pi PC Plus with Armbian Ubuntu server. So far I’ve been able to configure fstab on the server to mount the NAS at boot. That seems to work fine. However, the problem I have is when I have a power failure and everthing reboots at the same time, the server boots before my NAS. I then have to ssh in and run “sudo mount -a”. Is there a way to have the server detect and mount the NAS whenever it’s available to the network?

Hello I've just installed Armbian on my Asus tinker board, and i have a question. Im going to use it for a project that shows the units cpu usage and cpu temp on a website.. It looks as follows on my unit after logging in via SSH: System load: 1.42 1.43 1.32 CPU temp: 68°C How am i supposed to read the System load ? 1.42 ? Of what? How do you get the CPU Temperature? Can i issue a command my self from the terminal to get it my self? Thanks!

Hello all. I'm obviously a newbie to this all and have a Libre Le Potato I just purchased. Put in Armbian Bullseye and got everything configured so my Python script runs on boot and writes the data it records by sending a byte string through the USB port to a device and records the parsed response. All is well there, but I needed to add an RTC to this and I have many DS3231 boards that I've integrated with Arduino boards recently and they all work well. I've soldered the connections to the 3.3V, GND, SDA, and SCK pins and matched those to the GPIO pins 1, 9, 3, and 5 respectively. I've gone into 'armbian-config' and enabled…

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…

Hello, I've started a project where I'd like to setup a Bananapi M5 with two wifi adapters to use in hotel room for example. So one wifi adapter will connect to the hotel wifi, and the other will be in access point mode with dhcp for my devices to connect to. I think the proper terminology is AP-STA. So I have purchased one Comfast CF-953AX which uses the mt7921au chipset (0e8d:7961) to test in access point mode as it supports this: Supported interface modes: * managed * AP * AP/VLAN * monitor * P2P-client * P2P-GO The issue I have come across is the hostapd fails to start: nl80211: Failed to start radar dete…

Hello, i have an Issue with my Touchscreen on my Banana Pi running Armbian Bullseye. The colors are not correct ... everything shows with a ?brown / red? touch and the Position are not correct ... Top 5 pixel border and bottom 5 pixel cut. I check the display ... it works fine when i plugin on my desktop pc ... so the hardware should be fine. Is there maybe anyone who can help me with that?

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

I like(*) to connect to the micro-USB port of my OrangePi Zero (H2+) a USB peripheral device, so the port at the OPi must act as host. I have activated the port in armbian-config. Then, following forum posts such as [1], I switched the dr_mode in the port's device tree section to "host". (Decompile, edit, compile, then placed the resulting .dtb file to /boot/dtb-.../, then rebooted.) Nevertheless, the port does not seem to work as host, at least no device is detected in dmesg when plugging the stick in at the port. (same with lsusb) I have tested the stick itself in another hardware setting, and the cabling near the OPi's micro-USB port in so…

Hello, I've found a few logrotate bug reports in search, but they are not related to a "HDD" install. I have two armbian systems on different boards set up and installed on SD cards.

I'm running the latest 5.10.21-sunxi kernel. I figured out how to use the PWM pin with the help of this post. I have an LED connected to the PWM pin and when I run for example: sudo sh -c "echo 250 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm0/duty_cycle" the LED updates instantly. But when I try to fade the LED with a script, the LED always takes 6 seconds to update. This is the script: #!/bin/bash #Export PWM channel for user control. sh -c "echo 0 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/export" #Select the period of PWM signal. Value is in nanoseconds. sh -c "echo 500 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm0/period" #Change the polarity of the PWM signal. #The …

Hello, I'm pretty new to Armbian world and still trying to learn how everything works. I have got this Asus Tinker Board R2.0 that I'm trying to use with an Armbian image. However, before flashing the Armbian image to SD and boot from it, is there any way I could emulate the system on my PC, boot from a fresh Armbian ROM, change my preferred settings and install the applications I want, and then transfer the whole "personalised" ROM to an SD and boot from it on my actual Tinker Board. If I need to "initialise" the fresh Armbian ROM on the actual Tinker Board, can I then use the SD card (or an img created from it with Win…

Hi! I'm having trouble with one (only one) of the alsamixer settings. 'MIC1 boost AMP gain control' shoots up to 71 every time I launch a program that uses sound, such as alsaloop or arecord. I've done 'sudo alsactl store', so I can get it back to zero by doing 'sudo alsactl restore'. Obviously that's not something I want to do all the time. I don't have any problems with any other settings. The setting in question completely ruins sound quality for my purposes, so I need it to stay at zero. I'm currently running 5.35 user-built Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 3.4.113-sun8i. I've tried Debian Jessie as well.

I'm testing out the Orange Pi 3 Ubuntu 18.04 image (Link: https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-3/), and I'm trying to play some sound using a USB adapter (Link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000R5NJD8/). I originally posted this as a question on Ask Ubuntu (link: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1163369/sound-only-1-speaker-is-working), but I was advised to file a bug report about the issue.

Hello Everyone! I'm currently working on a nano pi m4b with a rockchip 3399 processor on it. I need to use an USB camera for my application but I am experiencing some issues that have been really hard to track down lately. First of all I'm using a 5 mega pixels camera with a OV5640 CMOS sensor and I experience some glitches with the image while live streaming. Besides that, I can only get an image while connected to USB 2.0, the 3.0 gives me a black screen with sporadic glitched frames. I'm running Linux 4.4.213-rk3399 on it and here are the dmesg dump logs I'm geting. Has anyone else had this kind of issue? [Feb24 19:13] Booting Linux on physical CPU 0x0 [ +0.00000…

Hello everyone, I need to install Armbian on a Pine64 Quartz64 model A but I don't know where to start. Can any of you give me a hand? A thousand thanks!

I recently purchased an Orange Pi 5 Plus and installed Armbian. It shuts down about every ten minutes. Strangely, when it is streaming video over HDMI it does not shutdown. So it can stream movies for up to three hours without shutting down. But if I am not streaming, for example if I am SSH into the device, it will shutdown after about ten minutes and I get booted out. I disabled system suspend in `settings > Power settings` but this did not help. I also just replaced the power supply with a 4 amp power supply (up from 3.5 amp) but this did not help at all. I also looked around 'armbian-config' but I did not notice any settings that could be the issue. …

Hi, Question to experts in linux I wrote a program© that directly draws / writes to framebuffor /dev/fb0 (LCD connected to the HDMI - Shows graphic reading temeperature DS1820, actual clock etc) What to do to disable writing to the same buffor by the system? Thanks

Hi I've just downloaded Armbian_21.02.3_Rock64_buster_current_5.10.21.img.xz for my Rock64 and flashed the image to a microSD card using BalenaEtcher. Over the last couple of days I've been writing a menu based script that creates a shutdown script to spin down HDDs during the shutdown phase on Linux based SoC PC. The reason behind the script is to get around an apparent problem whereby HDDs are forcefully being shut off when SoC PCs power off. I have posted this problem myself on the Open Media Vault forums, I have come across it here on the Armbian forums, the ODROID forums and also the Stack Exchange forums. During my script development and test…

The armbian I am running Welcome to ARMBIAN 5.31 stable Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 4.11.5-sun8i and few other versions that I tried have same issue with accessing GPIO from python as non root, and I, of course, need to access GPIO as non root however I setup permissions for /dev and /sys and whatever udev rules I configure there is some race condition and I can't get access to GPIO as a non root from python typical error is something like: :IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/sys/class/gpio/gpio1/direction' So I solved it by some hack of the OPi.GPIO library and udev rules that are not really feasible "always" so I'm tryin…

Hello, More of an FYI for anyone else hitting the same issue. Booted my board up for the first time in a year or two, wifi working fine but then sudo update && sudo dist-upgrade && shutdown -r now Now wifi does not work on the new kernel 5.10. Seems the 8812au driver which has morphed into 88XXau but XX no longer includes 14. Instead there's a new driver git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8814au.git apt install build-essential linux-headers-current-rockchip64 ARCH=arm64 make dkms_install modprobe 8814au Now wifi works again

Hi all, Which branch or tag should I use if I'm willing to work on the latest stable linux version on Banana Pi M1 ?

I have a 5" 800x480 TFP401 display which the current armbian can't drive, and I have no idea how to fix that. My EDID is identical to his. I'm a total armbian noob and half linux noob and have no idea where to start or what all the used terms mean (u-boot, dpms, ...) or they come with random patches or links to github changesets that I have no idea what to begin with. All I know is how to compile Igor's kernel, change existing patches in his repo, and burn it (as image, not u-boot) to an SD card, all because there is a nice tutorial for it. When people start talking about anything else I have no idea what to do with that information. I tried to mod…
