Hi, I have few boards that were once connected to wifi manually, but now are headless. I would like now to upgrade Armbian and put wifi connection during sd card flash. Tried the classic way: /etc/network/interfaces When the board boots it connects to the wifi, I see few pings and then it goes offline After taking one of the boards for troubleshooting using serial console I found that NeworkManager starts right after the network is up and screws everything: Executing sudo ifdown wlan0 && sudo ifup -v wlan0 restores the connection My question is: what is the correct way t…

I want to make an Armbian image with BTRFS rootfs. I did, it works. My problem is the default setup only assign 58M to the partition for /boot, leave only 18M of free space. I want to make it 150M. I had some bad experience related to such issue before - when I did an "apt upgrade" that involves building of new initrd.img file, the /boot partition is too small to allow the upgrade. So, I want to fix this issue before I build other stuffs on it. I have browse the docs.armbian.com and read couple of README under the build/ folder but find no hints. Thanks in advance for your help P.S. I think my question should be a gener…

http://ix.io/3XOk I attach the video of the bug in armbian-config. I tried editing the environment.txt file and enabling w1-gpio and pin but it doesn't work. the device connected is a temperature sensor that has always worked for the past 4 years is a ds18b20 (https://forum.armbian.com/topic/8095-orangepi-zero-not-working-with-1-wire/) Screen record from 2022-05-15 10.33.29.webm

Hello everyone I have a problem with icecast because I can't get the let's encrypt ssl certificate to work. I have followed several tutorials online, but in the end they were all the same, so I explain what I am doing, to see if someone tells me where I am wrong. I have created a script to concatenate certificates, change ownership and permissions, so that I can run it with cron along with the let's encrypt certbot. Here the script ---------------------- #!/bin/bash cat /etc/letsencrypt/live/radio.example.org/cert.pem \ /etc/letsencrypt/live/radio.example.org/privkey.pem \ > /usr/share/icecast2/icecast.pem chown icecast2.icecast /usr/s…

Hello, I don't find a working way to completly disable the use of IPv6 on armbian. I'm using Armbian_5.69_Orangepipc2_Debian_stretch_next_4.19.13.img, fresh install with etcher/balena. I've added the file /etc/sysctl.d/10-NoIPv6.conf with this content: net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=1 net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1 net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 I've modified /etc/hosts like that: 127.0.0.1 localhost orangepipc2 I've rebooted. But i still have ipv6 enabled and working, as the output of the "ip a" command give: 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default ql…

Seems like a reboot fixed the issue. the only other thing I did was to start alsamixer and made sure the line out was not muted. I setup Jammy 22.04 on an OrangePi PC + and trying to get sound to work with XFCE through the speaker jack. I get sound output through the speaker jack if I log in via the terminal and use speaker-test -t wav -c 2, but I get no sound in XFCE through the speaker jack. HDMI works.

Hi guys, does anyone have an experience with running webtorrent-hybrid or webtorren-cli (https://www.npmjs.com/package/webtorrent-cli) on Olinuxino MICRO or similar? I have installed npm package, started seeding, but instant.io doesn detect my peer. The same example works on desktop without an issue. Can anyone try and confirm if it is working or not on A20 boards?

Hi. After installing OpenVPN (apt install openvpn) I'm trying to run a VPN client on ARMBIAN 5.38 (9 stretch) 4.14.18-sunxi and I'm getting the following error when executing: sudo openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/client/myVPN.conf In the /etc/openvpn/client there are while the myVPN.conf file looks like # Specify that we are a client and that we # will be pulling certain config file directives # from the server. client # Use the same setting as you are using on # the server. # On most systems, the VPN will not function # unless you partially or fully disable # the firewall for the TUN/TAP interface. dev tun # A…

Hello to everyone! : ) I've made a lot of digging around but I haven't found a final reply to my questions because all the informations I've found are quite old and probably outdated. I own an OPi PC which I was using with Libreelec but unfortunately the HDMI output broke because of the missing protections. By what I know, there isn't any mean of getting AV out working on Libreelec so I switched to Armbian for which it seems to be possible instead. I've installed it with no issues at all (version as per title) but all the guides I've found on this forum to enable AV out seem not to apply, probably because they're intended for much older Armbian versions nor I couldn't fin…

Hello, I am running an orange pi one plus (H6 all winner). I tried to change partition size as suggested, although nothing working, here is what I tried: fdisk and the commands, with and without deleting old partition then adding partitions, I get an error message at the end when input w, people say to ignore it, although orange pi cannot boot afterwords I tried the instructions on their wiki, nothing works I tried cfdisk which seems to be working, although still when I df -h I cannot see the partition, and when I try to install something for some unknown reason my dpkg gets broken, and says that my mmcblk0p2 is …

Hello, I'm coming to ask for help because I'm having a problem with plex and my external hard drive. Everything works well except that I do not see the folders at the folders of my external hard drive with the Plex interface, this is really frustrating especially since I can go to my hard drive via the file manager. I think this is a legal problem but I cannot resolve it. Could you help me ? Thanks in advance =)

Hello everyone I need to record events using a webcam from the console via ssh connection. So I bought an orangepipc2 and a logitech c310 webcam and I started experimenting with ffmpeg and also cvlc. I need to record in HD (1280x720) with audio and minimum 10 frames per second for a duration of an hour or so and if possible in mp4 format with video in libx264 and audio in acc. Disk space is not a problem because I installed armbian (ubuntu 18.04) on an external ssd by usb. The problem is that audio and video are out of sync in cvlc and, in the case of ffmpeg, it gives me several errors and the audio is cut. I have also tried to record audio and vid…

Hi all, I'm experimenting with OPi Zero 2+ and I would like to flash onboard eMMC with a fresh Armbian (from a clean img, not from running system). What I did is booting from SD, downloading an Armbian img and dd'ing it into emmc device file, being sure it would have been enough since is what we do (I think?) when we write img to SD cards. I found out it won't boot unless I manually flash sunxi-spl.bin at 0x2000. What am I missing? Isn't that supposed to be flashed with image? Is dd a proper method to flash a clean image on mmc from a running system? Thank you

I am using Armbian 4.14 kernel on a custom board. As soon as the boards boots up I get a lot of oops and memory address fault. Software works on another board that use same memory and mtest always succeeds on faulty board even with complementary patterns. I have got the feedback that this new memory belongs to the newest revision level so SDRAM parameters needs to be updated. However I am using the 4.14 kernel so .fex configuration is not taken into consideration by the kernel, although initialize the SDRAM controller is bootloader->SPL's duty. Anyone knows how to update SDRAM parameters without using .fex config file or compile u-boot and SP…

After I edit the u-boot settings in armbian-config, do I then need to select "install" to update the boot loader each time? Edit: figured out by looking thru /var/log/armbian-hardware-monitor.log that I do not.

Hi, I downloadded the latest debian_stretch_next for OPZ+2 H5. Yes, I know it's experimental and not production-grade, I just want to report the issue. The problem is that apt-get (dpkg-deb) fails to decompress deb archives during the upgrade procedure. Tried it on a clean install multiple times on different microSDs. Are the packages really corrupted or is there something wrong with the image? Error log in the attachments P.S.: ubuntu_xenial_next randomly panics during apt update. h5.txt

Hi! I powered off my tvbox directy by power cord, and after boot can not enter in Xorg anymore, the screen go to black like successful Xorg start and back to console (each try delay 1s - slow blinking) and repeat this process ininterruptly. Maybe related to lightdm? How to start in console mode to try to fix it? This already happen with two different tv boxes (with buster and now with bullseye).

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…

Hi all, Recently I tried to replace the wireless module on NanoPi Neo Air and met some very strange phenomenon. I just solder off the AP6212 module and then replace it with an AP6234 module. When I use the factory FriendlyCore system with brcmfmac43340-sdio.bin & brcmfmac43340-sdio.txt in /lib/firmware/brcm, everything works ok. But when I use armbian system, the wifi just not work. It always down after about 10 seconds when the bcm43340 firmware load. And I remember previously armbian system works fine for AP6212, but AP6212A not work and has the similar problem with AP6234. I just build the the armbian use the mainline 4.14.…

So I will use software CS, not …

I don't have a fiber/fast internet connection, and I get around 200kb/s download speed when I use normal apt or apt-get. But apt-fast accelerates download speeds significantly. I go up to 1MB/s using it (I set max connections option to 16 while installing it, you'll know what I mean when you try to install it using apt-add-repository, of course, if you don't know). So I suggest you to use apt-fast in "armbian-config" or any system utility. This suggestion goes to the developers. So that we (users with no good internet connection) can update the system or install the desktop environment a lot faster and easier.

EDIT: All of the below written stuff is outdated and not recommended to run on any Armbian installation anyway. Simply use Armbian with default settings and you're done. In case you want to adjust settings, search the forum for 'h3consumption' utility. EDIT: Please be aware that it seems voltage switching on the various Orange Pi One boards seems to have some tolerances. A user reported his Orange Pi One crashes randomly when staying on the lower voltage with the new fex settings so unless it's confirmed which voltages are really used or how to measure the real voltage the proposed fix here might lead to undervoltage/stability issues on some boards. …

Hello! I met next problem: I need configure UART communication with baud rate 1 Mb/s (or 2 or 3). But internal clock of the bus is 1.5 MHz, and if i try to communicate with 1 Mb/s, error is too big. Is it possible somehow change internal clock of the uart? Or maybe any other possibilities how to configure such communication ? Or maybe you know any models with higher internal clock of the bus (Like on 6.5 MHz on raspberry pi 4, for example) ? Now one section is equal to 1.333 microseconds, but it should be 1.0 mcs. I found same topic at this forum, but it's no solution there: Thank you and have a good day

Hello, I got a Orange Pi One H3 based board with the usual 512MB DDR3 ram and never used it much but lately I'm trying to use it as an everyday home computer, so I'm trying to push the hardware as much as possible to benefit from any features. I actually have installed latest armbian v5.9.x kernel o.s. with Buster distribution and with some zram usage it's quite acceptable on the speed side. I had to add an heatsink on the SoC cause after latest mainline kernel temperature it seems to get close easier to 80°C degrees and even if I suppose it might work even at these temps, I think it was better to lower it down a bit (probably 5° to 10°C degrees). No overclocki…

For what it's worth: I managed to compile VICE (classic commodore computer emulators) on my roseapple pi board running Armbian. I could not find it in the repository, so I started fiddling myself. This to address some nostalgic feelings which come by so now and then! Recipe in the spoiler.... Compiling and installation is pretty straight forward: 1) Download VICE 2.4 source-code from http://vice-emu.sourceforge.net/ 2) xvzf vice-2.4.tar.gz 3) cd vice-2.4 4) sudo apt-get install build-essential libvte-dev libasound2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgnome2-dev 5) make 6) sude make install 7) start your trip down to memory lane with: vsid - the SID player x64 - the …

Dear all, on my ODROID-HC2 Armbian Bullseye installation there is a script /usr/bin/wireguard-manager and I'm curious what this is about at all. In my opinion only wireguard-tools is "ok" to setup a wireguard VPN configuration but no "wireguard" package or such a script which installs a bunch of stuff and weird things. Unfortunately I was new to wireguard and this was my 1st configuration and setup I did. I discovered the mentioned script and executed "wireguard-manager --help" which against my expectation started an installation of different stuff. I didn't cancel this because I was afraid in ending in half-baked misconfigured states. It did "apt …

Hi forum members, I need to run a script only once at boot or reboot. Using the @reboot method in the crontab is not working under Armbian. For example neither of these lines at the end of the /etc/crontab file is working: neither @reboot date >> /home/pi/boottime.txt nor @reboot /home/pi/control.sh init >> /home/pi/init.log Please has someone a hint how to get it to work under Armbian ?

Hello! I follow instruction "Add names of overlays you want to activate to overlays= line in /boot/armbianEnv.txt" I try to find /boot/armbianEnv.txt but nothing. I see Build tools overview from https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/fcb8b6f195bbb76c83c612c425fdf08cfd48c68b/README.md And nothing about /boot/armbianEnv.txt May be documentation talking about build/config/bootenvrockchip.txt and build/config/zynq.txt and others txt files in build/config/ ? It looks like /boot/armbianEnv.txt is file on microSD after I burn armbian image on it. But reading docs I don't understand nothing about build/config/bootenv/rockchip.txt

So, some time ago I made some custom changes to DTB to get the OV5640 camera working on a Banana Pi M2 Zero. I was successful, and made notes on the files that I changed. Now, I'm working with the same source tree, but cleaned out. So I wanted to make my changes again because I did not know about CREATE_PATCHES then. So, i built my new image, and made the changes to the dts files. But now, /dev/media0 does not show up. I have 2 boards. One with my prior image that is fully functioning (Board A), a new one that is missing /dev/media0 (Board B). First thing I did was compare the kernel configs. They are identical. For fun, I copied the kernel from…

Hello everyone. We have checked the forum extensively but have not found a good answer to our problem. Our system is based on a Orange Pi Zero Plus (512 MB), and it is running nicely. However, after some time, (10 - 15 days from the last boot) or /tmp directory gets full and most of the system is not operational. Only solution we have found for the moment is rebooting the system.

Hello, I have been trying to get back to a working nanopc-t4. I'm traveling with an almost worthless computer since I accidently let armbian update itself. The next few days I have access to a TV.

Using uname -r gives me this path. usr/lib/modules/6.2.0-rc8-media/build I can install Linux headers through armbian-config. That does nothing for allowing make in the modules which is what I need.

Dear all, I have an Android TV-Box which is not a common type (but brand new). No existing DTB file that I tried works properly with Armbian (Ex. WiFi & Bluetooth missing). I have managed to extract the original DTB file from the built in Android (Pie, I believe), but as I read somewhere else, these DTB files are for older Linux kernels, and Armbian refuses to boot with it. My question: would anybody here like to attempt to update the DTB file, so that it adheres to the current Linux kernels standards for DTB files? I will offer $100 to anyone who can make it work. Technical specs of TV-Box: Amlogic S905X3…

There are checks like this case $LINUXFAMILY in sun7i|sun8i) sun8i*) but in /etc/armbian-release variable is set like this LINUXFAMILY=sunxi I don't if these check should be changed to "sunxi" only or "sunxi" should be or-ed with existing values. There are check like these in the build system too. Regards

Hi guys, first of all I want to thank all of the users so far contributing to these armbian images. The images are extremely stable and my personally preffered platform for Smart Home installations. Unfortunately started using the 1-Wire BUS I am experiencing issues with the current kernel. At least this is what syslog entries let me assume. Everything seems fine for some hours or sometimes even days. Then suddenly (often at night) the USB Hostadapter seems to get disconnected and the system need to be rebooted completely to get 1-Wire to work again. I already searched the net a bit and found many users having those issues with several …

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

Hello. Sorry for maybe newbie question. I try to enable DS18B20 on my tinkerboard. The Armbian version is 21.08.1_Tinkerboard_buster_current_5.10.60. I've read the documentation about DTC, but I see no /boot/dtb/overlay directory, just /boot/dtb. I copied decompiled version of dtb from TinkerOS to this folder, compile it to rockchip-w1-gpio.dtb, but there is no /sys/bus/w1 folder. dmesg|grep w1 is empty.

Can i change cpu max frequency to 1600Mhz like on loboris img? only for testing purpose.Or is locked witch kernel compilation??

Sorry to borrow you with I suppose a basic question... I am not at home and I have to install an opz but the router here is managing address with 192.168.2.1 instead of 1.1... Please what I have to do on the opz to connect to the router? Sorry again for my lack of knowledge.

Sorry if that already has been answered, couldn't find anything via search function: I have a 1920x1200 TFT attached, works well with 1080p but of course everything is a bit stretched. I tried to understand how boot.cmd/scr work, but essentially there are no entries in those files for that resolution. Search for fdt_disp_mode showed up exactly 2 hits on Google So I'm a bit lost. Is it possible at all?

Hello. I try enable 1wire on Cibieboard 2. Could anyone describe to me how to do it? Where is kernel source on debian jesssie on Armbian for CB2

Hi, I'm working with a nanopi m4 for the first time I would appreciate help on how to hook up this board to my laptop I want to install FriendlyDesktop on my laptop that has ubuntu installed in it I'm referring to this - http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_M4#Get_Started If I put the nanopi m4 zip file onto the sd card and insert it into the board, will I be able to see the Friendlydesktop start up on my laptop screen and use my laptop keyboard and touchpad as keyboard and mouse for the nanopi? And my application requires me to work 2 cameras together on a single nanopi m4 board Has anyone worked with 2 cameras at once on this board? How is the …

Target board is Orange Pi PC+ based on H3 the <ump/ump.h> file is needed which must contains in linux-headers-XXX-sunxi with version match to 20.02.0-rc1 however aptitude search linux-h | grep sunxi outputs linux-headers-current-sunxi 19.11.3 <none> Linux kernel headers for 5.3.9-sunxi on armhf linux-headers-legacy-sunxi 19.11.3 <none> Linux kernel headers for 4.19.84-sunxi on armhf linux-headers-next-sunxi 5.92 <none> Linux kernel headers for 4.19.62-sunxi on armhf And there is no version for 5.4.14 (20.02.0)

Hi, I need to install kernel headers to build a wifi driver. Using armbian-config to install the headers does not work ... After much searching came across a logical suggestion - i.e. install the 'linux-headers-current-sunxi' package ... When I install that package (on a fresh 22.08.1install), the package installed is for 22.05.03 ... which is, er, the wrong version? Where do I find the headers for 22.08.1 ? Many thanks!

Hello. I have orangepi zero 512mb + TFT Screen ili9341 fully working. Unfortunately, the screen size of 240x320 does not allow using Armbian 21.08.2 at this resolution. Is there a way to fix this at least a little bit? What Armbian code should I dig into?

This is a really weird struggle: I have 2x cubieboard that are exactly identical (same HW, same board revision) including the LAN chip (realtek RTL8201CP). Both boards work fine with an earlier version of Armbian. I learned that there is an (unsupported) Armbian 21.08.1 Bullseye with Linux 5.15.25-sunxi which I installed on both. Behavior however differs with the LAN (eth0) interface. The one board works straight from install with DHCP (default), the 2nd won't work at all. dmesg | grep eth (partially) outputs: sun7i-dwmac 1c50000.ethernet eth0: no phy at addr -1 sun7i-dwmac 1c50000.ethernet eth0: stmmac_open: Cannot attach to PHY (error: -19) …

I’m trying to use a 3.5 LCD (waveshare clone) with ILI9486 + XPT2046 with my orange pi zero. My display is like this. I installed both Debian_buster_next_4.19.59 and Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.19.57 and I followed many guides in here with no success. I edited armbianEnv.txt and added these: overlays=spi-spidev spi-add-cs1 param_spidev_spi_bus=1 param_spidev_spi_cs=1 After that I ran this sudo modprobe fbtft_device custom name=fb_ili9486 gpios=dc:18,reset:2 speed=16000000 busnum=1 rotate=90 and didn’t get any error. I figured that the reset & DC pins on orange pi zero are pin22(GPIO2) and pin18(GPIO18) but I’m not 100% sure about these.…

Is it possible to make small adjustment into line 109 of /etc/update-motd.d/30-sysinfo file (I made the change myslef, but once packages are upgraded - change is overwritten)? Original line is: if [[ $intf =~ ^[ewr].* ]]; then Changed line would be (please note additional letter "b"): if [[ $intf =~ ^[ewrb].* ]]; then You may see the reason - I guess "bond" is the common prefix when binding ethernet devices: admin@PKSERVER:~$ grep -n ewr /etc/update-motd.d/30-sysinfo 109: if [[ $intf =~ ^[ewrb].* ]]; then admin@PKSERVER:~$ sudo ifconfig bond0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:00:00:02:10 i…

I am trying to understand and construct a script that will run my 3g usb modem at startup. I have great difficulty in understanding the syntax. I am using a PI PC+ with Ubuntu Xenial. If I type the following at the command prompt: My modem connects to the internet. Sakis3g is located in /home/opi/usr/local/bin/sakis3g. Can someone offer guidance or an example that would execute the above command at startup please?

So far I've been able to get just about everything running with Armbian but I just haven't got my head around routing a usb / mpci 4g modem. I clearly see it's a ttyACM0 device, I can see it's a USB connection in nmtui, ifconfig shows it as usb0 interface. I think the hardware is good and Armbian is talking to it fine. Can someone point me to a tutorial somewhere that would turn the light on for a first time try at routing data from a cellular modem? I'm using a clearfog pro but I also have an espressobin. The modem is a U-Blox MPCI-L201 and I imagine should work on either board. I'm probably just not putting the right questions to uncle googl…

Hello! I followed build instruction from github, builded full OS image to flash to microSD and get kernel oops on boot (selected orangepiwin->dev(4.14.x)->xenial->server) log: https://pastebin.com/G4UtkGPR Possible to fix?

Hi I am looking to download the u-boot files for my espressobin that should be here: https://dl.armbian.com/espressobin/u-boot/ as pointed out by https://www.armbian.com/espressobin/ but they've been giving 404 for a while.

I see that there are three Armbian supported boards that have mpci (Clearfog, Espressobin, OrangePi 3, did I miss any?) but several boards that DON'T have mpci on them note that they support mpci 4g modem?? (Download Pages, Supported Hardware) Are you using some kind of hardware like this? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EMIOBD2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And from what I see, the only board that has a SIM slot is the Clearfog Pro, how are you reading the SIM on boards with mpci and no SIM socket.

I wanted to share my workaround of setting the proper resolution on both, console and Xorg: Display: Generic 5 inch 800x480 HDMI "Waveshare V2" clone Kernel: mainline Proper/usual way of doing it: 1. Edit uboot/dtb display variable -> does not work currently because only a few resolutions are supported (848x480 is the closest). 2. Add a new mode with "xrandr" and "gtf or cvt" -> but "cvt 800 480 60" does yield a modeline which totally glitches out the display. Possible workaround: 1. Set linux console to 800x480: "sudo fbset -g 800 480 800 480 32" 2. Edit or create something similar to "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-a…

Can't compile my RTL8188eu driver any more since upgrade from 5.14 to 5.15. Any advice where they gone or how to fix the make file? Background: the shipped driver are broken when it comes to WPA PEAP Enterprise. The wifi module quickly overheats and stops. My current understanding is that this driver uses hardware encryption which overloads under this condition. My solution was to use these driver, that apparently don't use HW encryption: https://github.com/universam1/rtl8188eu Unfortunately, they don't compile any more now because of missing kernel files. Any help? Thanks

Collected test image with 5.27. When you run "armbianmonitor -m" is not displayed the temperature. It had me at the Assembly get an error or is it a new mode of monitoring ?

I saw references on the site to a countdown in days to a major new release, but that has now disappeared, and I also see various mentions of version 5.34 but I do not know where to obtain this. The highest release in github seems to be 5.24. How does one find this? Apologies if this appears to be a stupid question - I looked everywhere.

Ok first, im new to linux, i am moving from windows and becoming a linux user.

Hello @all, I bought an Orange Pi PC PLUS and an 5" touch display with XPT2046-touch controller (compatible with ADS7846): 5" Touch with XPT2046 The OPI PC PLUS works with Armbian_5.65_Orangepipc_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.14.78.7 OS. The Display is mounted on the OPI PC PLUS and works fine with HDMI. But the Touch doesn't work. I tried several solutions which can be found in the inet. But the touch will not get work. As I can see in the schematic for the OPI PC+ the SPI0-bus is connected to the external connector (40-pin header). The SPI0-bus is also connected to the NAND-flash. May this the problem that the touch doesn't work? …

Would I be using a 2-amp adapter instead of a 5-volt 3-amp? Is this a disadvantage?

My goal is to use Radxa Rock3a with a large 3.5inch HDD as a first step. Works fine if I use a M.2 E-key adapter which connects on the PCIe2.0 x1 lane and provides SATA via a JMB 5-port chip (only 2 connectors, support is in U-boot default Armbian build 2024.10). Worked also if I use an overlay included in early 6.1.84-vendor-rk35xx builds that maps RK3568 SATA onto the PCIe2.0 M.2 connector traces/signals, but now the whole 6.1.84-vendor-rk35xx ends in panic. I have not looked at exact changes (it is from the beta channel), but it was working with trunk.x and now installed variant is from trunk.y. I might not be able to find exact numbers for x and …

Hi guys! I need to run some game on full screen, and they are old school windows one. the thing is that adding the modeline worked perfectly fine on rpi4, not on armbian sadly. it seems to change the resolution and then it go "out of signal". I used the same parametes than on rpi4. also generated new ones just in case. the thing is I cant make it to work and maybe iut's something deep into armbian. exaple: xrandr --newmode "640x480_60.00" 23.75 640 664 720 800 480 483 487 500 -hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode HDMI-1 640x480_60.00

Hi there. More than a year ago i started a project on this CPU and mainly succeeded with Nanopc-T4 board, old Armbian (5.95/4.4.179) and a custom DTB. The hardware project included the SBC and a Chinese TFT dashboard-style display panel (thus - MIPI/DSI, as I could not find the same for LVDS). Mainly using the poke-and-peek method I collected the way to mod the DTS so the DSI port is active, and the display worked like a charm. Mostly I pasted the DSI part from OrangePi DTS. I must admit that that turned out to be pure luck. Because once I moved (after big pause) to the SOM and self-designed carrier board (identical in USB, SSD, MMC, video section to Friend…

I actually did a search on the forum for these and found nothing, so now I'm asking for the help. Of coarse it could be I didn't know what I was looking at or understood it.

I need gc2035+vfe_v4l2 module, but the mainline kernel does not support it. So, how to build armbian with legacy kernel?

Hi, I realize that V3s is not H2 or H3, but I hope the question is generic. Is it possible to make the FB 16 bit? In mainline Linux? I'm working with a Lichee Pi board. The depth is 18 bits but the fb in Linux is 32 bit. I'd love to get it down to 16 bits to save 1/2 of the video memory and just 2 color bits are a small price to pay. I understand that Linux inherits the FB from u-boot.

Hello, If you don't want to use HDMI, what configuration should be done in armbianEnv.txt or boot.cmd ? Thanks in advance

I try to use the pwm from GPIO to PWM control a fan. I would need around 20kHz with a variable duty cycle. As far as I understand I need to activate the pwm overlay, but its only available for the h5. Can I change the UART or I2C overlay to achieve this or should I try to write my own overlay? Is that even doable?

If you've tried hardware video on an Allwinner A733 (Orange Pi 4 Pro, Radxa A7Z), you've probably hit this: there's no V4L2 decoder, and omxh264dec advertises video/x-raw(memory:DMABuf) but aborts in gst_omx_video_dec_negotiate if you actually ask for it. So everyone falls back to videoconvert ! ximagesink and burns ~1.8 CPU cores on 1080p. The vendor OMX component reports the proprietary colour format 0x7f000002 through a malformed port-format enumeration, so gst-omx can't build a negotiation map. You can chase that a long way. Don't. libOmxVdec.so is a wrapper over libvdecoder.so, and that lower library is what actually owns the decode surfaces. VideoPicture.n…

Hiya, Goal: Ok so I'm after a high speed synchronous serial interface (50mhz would be nice) with reasonably flexible clocking options so I can tweak it up and down. The goal is to implement a "fast as possible" SWD debug interface to a Cortex M0; ideally the serial interface could be run arbitrarily fast until the target M0 or the wiring can't handle it. If can do 48mhz I can basically read/write one 32-bit word per microsecond over swd, so 4MB/sec, and I want to process that a little and send it to a PC (obviously ethernet). I especially care about consistent, gap-free, no jitter on this serial interface. So SPI is the obvious choice but I'm…

Hi, what options do I have to access the GPIO from Python3 as a non-root user? I'm building a project based on the Rock Pi S and I have everything working (as root, i2c, GPIO) on the Radxa Ubuntu 18.04 image but as I wanted to future proof the project by using the 5.x kernel. I started with the latest Armbian_20.11_Rockpi-s_focal_current_5.9.10_minimal and enabled the i2c bus from armbianEnv.txt (rk3308-i2c1) (was already active) because the armbian-config didn't work.

Hi, I want to make my orange pi 3 lts work in a similar way to the way Wifi manager works on esp8266 projects The idea being that if there is not a valid Wifi connection found then an AP is activated so a user can connect to a captive portal and enter the wifi ssid and password anc click connect. the pi then reboots and tries to connect. if that is successful then it works as normal if it is not then it reactivates the AP. I found various different partial solutions but none of which seem to work well with my setup. this might be either due to the orange pi or Armbian. The most promising i ahve foudn so far is https://github.com/b…

Hi I was trying to setup my RK3328 based A5X Max tv box running armbian ( a fairly recent version 4.4.154 based) as an access point. Yesterday I tried the armbian-config option, and it downloaded/setup things and the access point worked. Because I only need it as an access point sometimes, I went back through armbian-config and turned it off. Today I tried to go through armbian-config and start an access point again, and I see the access point option has disappeared from Networking in armbian-config. !!! Has something changed recently? I might have done a update/upgrade in between. Or does armbian-config just set it up, …
