I am in the process of setting-up a RockPi-E as a Nextcloud server. I am running the latest Armbian Focal "current" mainline kernal and have migrated the rootfs to a SSD using this link as a guide:- https://wiki.daniel-keil.de/projekte/banana-pro/install-armbian-to-a-sata-drive I have successfully installed nginx, MariaDB, PHP and Nextcloud using various guides and Nextcloud is operating very well. I would like to have some "blinky lights", a shutdown button and connect an I2C LCD display. I2C1 is working on GPIO header pins 27,28 but I have not seen any mention of I2C1 in any documentation and only discovered when I was stud…

I'm putting this here because I'm not sure where else - mods please forgive me if wrong.

Hardware: RPi4B Image: Armbian_22.05.1_Rpi4b_jammy_current_5.15.36.img.xz armbian-config does not show "Hardware" option under "System". I used the best SDcard I have. The PSU works for everything I've plugged it into. I re-flashed the SDcard several times. And I tried some ways that I googled and some postings here. All to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi, I installed a fresh Armbian_22.05.4_Rockpi-4a_sid_edge_5.18.0 first on SD-card, then I used nand-sata-install to copy system to emmc. After that I rebooted and set up the nas (rockpi-4a with 4 ssd-drives). I already used ssh remote shell to perform apt dist-upgrade and copying of about 6TB ... When all setup was finished, I shutdown the system, closed the tower and restarted again. On that restart, the network came up without inet-address. ifconfig showed eth0 and l0, but eth0 had a mac-address (not the one, I configured in armbianEnv.txt) but no ip-address. Here are some lines from syslog: Aug 28 15:57:01 mynas NetworkManager[1659…

Hello, When we install armbian cinnammon, the eth0 ip is set default to 192.168.0.8. I cloned the installation and then the cloned conflicts with the source so I though to use armbian-config to change the IP adress. The ipv4 changed but I noticed warnings in/var/log/syslog : IPv6: eth0: IPv6 duplicate address.. It seems armbian-config does not update ipv6 or? What should be do, disable ipv6? I read it is not recommended at all.

I am new to armbian, and so far I managed to build a working image with some custom packages added and some removed by customizing `userpatches/lib.config`. Easy stuff and it's working great so far! Now I need to build some packages from sources and get them added to the resulting image. The usual way I would do this, would be installing a cross toolchain, having a staging dir with includes and libs from the dev packages I add to the image, etc. But after building the base armbian image, on my system I see I have two docker images related to armbian (ghcr.io/armbian/docker-armbian-build and armbian.local.only/armbian-build), and I wonder if maybe the "local on…

Hi, First of all: Thank you for all the great work that you're doing, Igor! I really appreciate it. I think about buying a PCDuino3 Nano board and I'd like to install your Debian Jessie Vanilla kernel image on it. However, the current download page states that NAND support is not implemented yet. Can you tell (approximately) how soon it will be supported? Or are there other ways to install the image to the NAND flash? Thank you in advance!

I'm looking to potentially set up a dedicated VPN server probably using an Olimex Olinuxino A20 Lime 2. The main thing I was somewhat confused about is how to connect to my router and how to ensure that traffic is routed through the VPN server? Presumably to connect to my router I would just use an Ethernet cable. But how then would I ensure that all traffic goes through the VPN? The vast majority of SBC that I have seen only have 1 Ethernet port so connecting devices physically is a no go. I assume I might need to use some form of port forwarding?

Hi, guys. I need some help in understanding of usage AR100 (OpenRISC) coprocessor inside H3 SoC for the own real-time tasks. Now i'm using mainline kernel built with RT-PREEMPT patch. I'm using it with Machinekit (LinuxCNC) software to control stepper drivers/motors via GPIO step/dir pulses. But step pulses frequency is too slow (about 17 kHz) because the RT kernel latency is about 30 us. I think we can use the built-in coprocessor for the realtime GPIO toggling. The AR100 and main Cortex-A7 can talk to each other with built-in MSGBox. And the question is - how to launch my own firmware on the AR100 core?

Following a successful deployment of an MCP2515 SPI to CAN device with the great help of https://forum.armbian.com/topic/3588-can-bus-support-orange-pi-zero/ I’ve been looking into using an SPI to CANFD device with the orangePi R1 (H2+ based). (CANFD allows greater bitrate than the “regular” CAN) I am looking into using the driver made for the mcp2517fd/mcp2518fd, which has been submitted but not yet linux mainlined: https://github.com/msperl/linux-rpi/tree/upstream-v5.0-rc3-mcp25xxfd-v6.11/drivers/net/can/spi/mcp25xxfd This driver seems to be functional with the raspberry pi, and an example of PCB and associated overlay can be seen here: https://github.com/…

Hello, hope you can help me with my issue. I have an Orange Pi Zero+ with an H5 processor. My requirement is to detect when a button is pressed, my input port is PA1 or pin 11, my pin for 3.3V is 17, I'm using the pyA20 library, have also setup this project: https://github.com/herzig/orangepi_PC_gpio_pyH5. My code is based on the read_button example (https://github.com/herzig/orangepi_PC_gpio_pyH5/blob/master/examples/read_button.py#L46). Bellow I will show the code, but the main problem is that the gpio.input() method is usually returning 0 but every few seconds it returns 1, which is only supposed to happen when button is pressed. I'm a complete newbie in this world so …

I'm finally realizing that I have no swap and zram is not enabled. I just checked /etc/default/armbian-zram-config and ENABLED=false I'm running Armbian buster with Linux 5.4.49-rockchip64 on a RockPi4A. Is zram turned off by default? Did I screw up/miss a step when setting up my system (quite a while back)? My system boots from an SD card. I have no SSD in the system just SATA and USB HDD. I've been having system hangs when memory runs out (which has not been frequent but is very annoying) I run most things in Docker, so if I needed to rebuild from scratch it's not the worst thing in the world.

Hi, This is my first post on this forum. I'm using armbian for 5 years and I really appreciate the work of all the people who contributed to it.

Hi, I own a Orange PI Plus 2 with SATA support. Until now without success I tried to migrate from a SD boot / HDD root setup, which is my current well working situation, to a SD boot / SSD root setup. I created two partitions on the SSD created a swap device on sda1 and root device on sda2 like on the HDD. Performed mkswap on /dev/sda1 and copied the HDD root filesystem to the SSD root file system to be /dev/sda2 using ' find . -print | cpio -pdvm' on a spare laptop with two SATA ports. I even copied the UUID from the root partition of the HDD to the root partition of the SSD. Next I configured the system by changing the root device in armbianEnv.t…

Hi ! I spent several hours looking for the solution, here and elsewhere, I didn't find. The Radxa wiki speaks about 2 SPI: 1 and 2 The device tree README speaks about 4 SPI: SPI 0 pins (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS): GPIO3_A5, GPIO3_A4, GPIO3_A6, GPIO3_A7 SPI 1 pins (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS): GPIO1_A7, GPIO1_B0, GPIO1_B1, GPIO1_B2 SPI 2 pins (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS): GPIO1_C0, GPIO1_B7, GPIO1_C1, GPIO1_C2 SPI 3 pins (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS): GPIO2_B2, GPIO2_B1, GPIO2_B3, GPIO2_B4 So, the correspondence seems to be: radxa SPI 1 <=> DT SPI 1 radxa SPI2 <=> DT SPI 3 With the latest kernel (5.10.12-rockchip64, Deb…

Hi! I've been interested in getting a SBC for a while now and I've done a bit of “researching” during the past two weeks.

Hello, I have the following problem: A custom board (H5) doesn't reboot using the reboot command. Same problem from u-boot using reset command. If you check the log, all is normal for the halt or power off proccess. The problem happens when the board is going to make the power on, it hangs, and you can't see anything using the debug serial. As a solution, i can reset the voltage regulators using a digital GPIO pin. Of this way i am able to reset the board. But i need a soft solution, and of course, if linux itself makes a reboot it should activate the digital GPIO pin in this custom board. So my question is: …

This is on a 4GB NanoPi M4 v1. There are a number of files matching the spec '/etc/ssh/ssh_host_*' but they are all zero bytes, which renders the machine inaccessible by ssh.

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

I'm running Armbian 20.08.1 (Ubuntu) in NanoPi NEO3, and after running sbc-bench,sh benchmark, the temperature does not revert to the idle temperature for several hours until exactly 4am. The system was idle all that time, until a small CPU usage spike at 4am. That's because it rebooted at that time, maybe due to a short power failure. So what confuses me a lot is why the idle temperature will get back to around 60C only after a reboot. 11 hours of idle time would not do it, but a simple reboot would magically drop the temperature by close to 15C.

I'd like some help please. The ethernet device naming seems inconsistent and sometimes changes following reboots. Sometimes one interface comes up as eth0 and sometimes as eth1, and sometimes not at all. The enp1s0 interface seems to reliably come up, but not with the right config (sometimes it uses the config for enp1s0 and sometimes for eth0). I am trying to assign status IP addresses (on different networks) to each interface, but because of the unreliable bringup of the network interfaces, I can't get a config that starts up correctly and consistency on reboots or cold boots. As a test I ran the friendly-core-lite-focal from …

Hi, I have a really strange situation, which I don't understand and for so - I need help to solve it. I had 2 rockpi, one with sata hat which plays the nas role and one without sata drives, which is my frontend for home cinema (connected to AVR and beamer). Last few days I had the effect that the frontend froze and after close examination it turned out that all memory was used up. Fortunately, I already had a new rockpi with 1,4Gb memory. I thought I'd just change the eMMC and go on as before. But that was probably a big mistake. The new one did not start at all with the eMMC from the 1.2Gb rockpi. That's why I thought I had to compl…

Please forgive me if I posted this in the wrong category. My immediate task isn't related to P2P, but my end goal of setting up a personal server is. I am attempting to compile a custom image with https://github.com/botter-nidnul/userpatches. You can read more about the project here https://urbit.org/grants/urbian-a-customized-linux-distribution-for-urbit-appliances. I can compile a focal image without customization, but when I attempt to customize the image, I get `umount: /home/nebulay/repo/project/armbian/build/.tmp/rootfs-d412f0e4-e33c-4c0c-909b-9042f7924589: target is busy` This repeats until I hit ctrl+c. I get an image, but it fails to boot. I have googled it, and…

i just saw the new netinstall for raspbian - works like a charm and can be configured to produce a customized version. very small file to write to sd. could something similar be done for armbian? thanks a lot! andrew

I have armbian 5.17 and notice sometimes cron does not work after reboot To verify this, I issue "pgrep cron" and nothing comes out How cron is started in armbian? I take a look on /etc/rcx.d ... nothing start there Can somebody explain?

Armbian documentation on Overlays refers to /boot/armbianEnv.txt. But in the version of Armbian that I'm running (on a Cubietruck, ARMBIAN 5.36 user-built Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 4.13.16-sunxi) there is no such file. There is however a copy in directory /usr/share/armbian. Is this the overlay file that is processed at start-up? If so, it would be good if the documentation was updated.

I've built the latest armbian (5.48 & 5.46) for all the different versions (default, next & dev) and they all have issues starting the wifi ! If i manually do an ifdown/ifup it usually comes up (say 80% of the time) I was just wondering if anyone else had seen this issue or is it just me ..... Thanks, TB

Hi, I recently bought a 7'' 800x480 HDMI TFT LCD display. Im trying to make it work with my OrangePi Plus 2e where I have armbian xenial desktop distro. I have tried several settings on the scrip.bin file, but the screen is always white. ... screen0_output_mode = 2 screen0_output_type = 3 fb0_width = 800 fb0_height = 480 ... Its intresting that the same settings works perfectly on a Cubieboard2 A20 board. I also tried the Armbian bionic server and installed a light desktop from armbian-config and the display works! but the screen has a greenish tint. (and there is no script.bin file on a server version, so I cant compare to the xenial like…

Hello guys, I like armbian very much and i think it's the Best OS for SBC. Will there be an official suported armbian Version for the Odroid n2? IF yes, will i be able to migrate from the no official support version to the official support version? Which risks exists if i am using the no official support version? Sorry if the section is wrong.

To check the download, I've been told to compare the downloaded OS's SHA text file to the OS manufacturer's (armbian) website for their SHA. I asked this question previously but can not find the thread now. I'm using orangepiplus2e. Thank you.

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

Hello, Is it possible (and did someone) do some Computer Vision (OpenCV + Tensorflow + Keras) on Armbian installed on a S922X? Thank you and with kind regards, Ben

armbian-config has a way to update the kernel within a major version but can one upgrade from 5.15 to 6.1 (current/edge). I assume if not then I have to build my own image? What I am after is jammy or bullseye with 6.1 kernel to support some hardware not supported in 5.15. I know the rolling releases (Lunar/Sid) have this kernel but I need a LTS release with 6.1.

Hi there First of all thanks a lot for your images. Currently I am trying to setup my R1 as wifi access point using the image Lamobo-r1_Debian_3.2_jessie_4.1.2 The out of the box hostapd let me connect successfully from my wireless devices. After some time, one hour or so, the connection starts dropping and reconnecting up to a point that I cannot connect at all. BTW, I could not get hostapd working stable with Bananian and self compiled drivers as well. Symptoms were similar. I am also not using any harddisk or USB devices. I also used a second R1 and have the same problems. Does anyone have the same sy…

Hello, Does anyone of you ever have done power consumption measurement or any statistic? For my Orange Pi cluster I have build up a simple circuit, to measure the total current (ampere) [1]. If all my nodes are powered off and my cubietruck and a orange Pi are powered on, the measured current is about 2A. It looks like that the Orange Pi One does not Consume a significant amount of current, if it is idle. And he is idle for about 90% of time. In case of all of that my 5 OrangePi PC nodes, the Orange PI One and my cubietruck is powered on, the measured current is about 7A what gives a power consumption of ~ 35Watt. Which is the power consumption when every node / host…

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 …

Dear all, I love Armbian on my Banana Pro and so I also would like to use this OS on my brand mew Odroic C2. Every installation and configuration works except installing TVHeandend. I tried to compile it because via armbian-config it does not work. But it does not matter which branch I use and which option I try it is not possibe to install on mainline or legacy version. I do not need transcoding - the TVHeadend server just should serve my Kodi with dvbs. Can anybody send me an instruction to compile TVHeadend with Armbian on Odroid C2 sucessuflly? Maybe it is possible to compile completely without ffmpeg? T…

I think my level of proficiency with armbian has earned me an "ignore" status here :-) I am trying to configure the serial port on a Banana Pi M2 Zero. I have done it a Raspberry PI and confirmed that all works well. Can anyone help me with he following questions? How do I enable the UART for GPIO 14 & 15 (Pins 8, 10)? How do disable serial console mode (had to do this in raspbian)? How do I disable RTS and CTS using parameters? I will donate $20 as soon as a UART connection is made.

After power off I have many "Module has invalid ELF structures" and there is no zram. System works, but I noticed problem because when vncserver is up almost all ram is used. How to fix it?

- To my surprice I was able to upgrade odroid-n2+ to kernel 6.0.10 on a debian bookworm install. Had previously tried to compile kernel 6.0.9 and 6.0.10 from kernel.org and also through the armbian build with no success. The 6.0.9 and 6.0.10 from kernel.org did work but did both lack wifi connections - did try many dongle without success.

I just want to know how to boot from SD card again after setting boot from nand (./nand-sata-install) on my cubieboard. I got a "Reset board" message. Thanks.

Hi, In december, I was able to install a working system to nand (boot from nand, system on sata), but didn't have the nessery time to finish the configuration. Today I rebooted my cubietruck for the first time since then, and tried updating all the installed packages with 'apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade'. One of the updates (an important one, see below) failed with the following error: and: Confident as I am, I rebooted the device. Unfortunately, it does not come up as expected. I still have the SD-card used for the install in december (and can boot the cubietruck with it), so I could start from scratch again. But may be there is somet…

Since the question came up a few days ago on linux-sunxi IRC and Igor2 provided a nice tutorial to activate Ethernet Gadget mode, I added the necessary one-liner patch to our repo (disabled by default) and built now a kernel with all the necessary stuff patched and enabled: http://kaiser-edv.de/tmp/4U4tkD/Armbian_3.4.112_g_ether_kernel.tar.bz2 To get the idea please read through Igor2's Readme: http://igor2.repo.hu/tmp/opi_usb_gadget.txt You should run a recent Armbian installation (apt-get update/upgrade), then extract the contents of the tar archive above somewhere, install the stuff using dpkg and then reboot: tar xf Armbian_3.4.112_g_ether_…

Hi, I want to use visualino a qt5 programming interface on orange pi with arduino, all my arduino programm works fine on armbian. Is it the same way as debian debbuild ? Or isn't it possible ? Any help welcome

If you want to get ahead of the curve a little I've been testing libgpiod master with User Space IO. This version includes Python bindings, so I'm no longer generating CFFI bindings for this library. I've converted all the example code to use the new bindings. User Space IO is Python 3 and Java 8 bindings for Linux user space GPIO, SPI, I2C, PWM and Serial interfaces. User Space IO is a consistent API for C, Python 3 and most JVM languages. No more hacked up RPi.GPIO and WiringPi for each SBC model.

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??

Hi all. I've just finished a new video where I show the gameplay of EmuElec on the Odroid HC4. I must say I'm amazed by how well it performs. It doesn't perform that much worse than the Odroid N2+. The biggest advantage is that you can use a normal 3.5" hard drive for your games library. The single USB2 port is enough to connect your controller. Here's my video.
