Hi Folks, this is just out of the blue but Armbian based on Devuan would be very cool. I find more manageable and predictable Devuan than Debian, I am slowing ditching Debian for Devuan, I recently tested both on some very little Linux compatible laptops and Devuan resulted in better compatibility and lesser weird issue with ACPI and LID operations. I use Runit as default init system and for desktop use I found it very stable: for instance when connected to the wifi printer if the printer goes in standby systemd is unable to reconnect to the scanner (you to restart sane) while runit is always on; there are plenty on these little cases where Devuan …

Hello, I'm running Armbian on a Orange pi one. In htop I found out that the CPU temperature is not correct. So I tried to figure out what happens. The CPU is define not as hot as the value says. For me it looks line that the factor is about 2. I just wanted to inform about it. I can also deliver more information if required and also support to debug... I started the following commands for verification. $ cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp 63809 $ armbianmonitor -m Running unprivileged. CPU frequency will not be displayed. Stop monitoring using [ctr…

I have a Orange Pi Zero 2W and want to install a headless ( minimal ) OS. I have tried Armbian 25.5.1. I have an Ubuntu box and I have attempted to write to the SD card using Armbian ImagerImager, by selecting an image from the app as well as downloading an image to use. In both instances, I get a FLASH failure. See the attached image for the diag link. Can anyone give me some insight?

Hello, I own boards of two different manufactures, namely a Cubietruck and an Espressobin. Before a recent Kernel update these days I was still greeted with the following messages: Welcome to ARMBIAN 5.73 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.19.17-sunxi Welcome to ARMBIAN 5.73 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.19.18-mvebu64 But even after the update - IMO apt-get was telling we're going from 5.73 to 5.75 versions of the files the version number in the greeting is still 5.73 Welcome to ARMBIAN 5.73 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.19.20-sunxi Welcome to ARMBIAN 5.73 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.19.20-mv…

Hello everyone. I've upgraded my Cubietruck from Xenial to Noble Ubuntu using supplied image on https://www.armbian.com/cubietruck/ .

Hi, I am having problem with overscan on orangepipc on my car display. https://goo.gl/photos/19v3Ji2cAUMsLwoV6 Left border is cropped by 32 pixels and bottom is cropped by 52px. Resolution is 800x480 configured with h3disp -m 31. I am outputing video using HDMI-to-VGA reduction and then I transform VGA signal to RGBS using two XOR gates (so the car display understand the signal).

Previously I just edited /etc/network/interfaces (or added file to interfaces.d), but Ubuntu 18.04 uses Netplan now. The old way worked by editing the SD card, so you never had to login into the serial console. I'm not sure if there's a way to do this with Netplan, but this is what I did to get wifi working: Login via serial console or plug in Ethernet (I used the Duo mini shield which has Ethernet port) sudo nano cat /etc/netplan/armbian-default.yaml network: version: 2 renderer: NetworkManager wifis: wlan0: dhcp4: no addresses: [192.168.1.69/24] gateway4: 192.168…

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

Hello, I'm trying to get a new board working using Armbian. I'm currently working from my GIT repo so I cloned armbian/build and u-boot/u-boot I added them to the compile.sh script by using userpatches/lib.conf overrides. I added the DTS file of the board, defconfig and modified the Makefile as it can be seen on this commit On the board config side, I set: BOOTCONFIG="fly_gemini_defconfig" The image is built successfully but the board doesn't boot because the DTB file isn't present in /boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-h5-fly-gemini.dtb I looked in output/debug files but I didn't found any error What did I miss ? …

Hi guys, I've a nanopim4 V2 running Armbian Focal with Linux 5.7.15-rockchip64, on a Kubernetes k3s cluster, and I realise that time to time, the board crashes (or reboot) but I'm unable to find why. I've checked syslog kernel.log under /var/log.hdd without luck. What else should I check? This is the output of armbianmonitor if it's help. http://ix.io/2vgU Many thanks in advanced. Regards

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.

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 …

Hallo, unfortunately i can't find the current orangepi image (https://www.armbian.com/orangepi/). The links to the images either go nowhere (404 file not found) or point to bananapi images. What is the correct link for the current Ubuntu image for the Orangepi? Thank you very much.

Armbian Version: Armbian_23.5.1_Orangepi3-lts_jammy_current_6.1.30_gnome_desktop While hosting a Discord bot on my Orange Pi 3 LTS, Armbian sleeps on its own after a certain amount of time. This UI is so unique to me, I've got no clue how to barely do anything other than through the Terminal. Sorry for the simple question, but I can't find answers anywhere. Thank you!

Hi So I installed the minimal IOT version on the eMMC and I am struggling with it as on login, the temperature is at already 73C then ends up having a forced shutdown after like 5 minutes. I don't see why this is happening as it's literally doing nothing on the command line. Any ideas on how to fix this? I was expecting this to idle around 30s, not reach 90 in an air conditioned room. Thanks.

Hi All I cannot seem to find information specific to the Cuibieboard 2 - only reference to BPI running Ubuntu on SATA? Is this still possible? I have been able to do this on my old Cubieboard 2 but with a very old image. I don't know if this is possible with the latest Ubuntu's? If so, please point me to instructions? I have downloaded Armbian 5.3 onto SD card and got one of my Cubie's to boot fine from SD but would prefer either NAND or via SATA (SSD - preferable). I think the way I was able to do this on my old boards was to have the bootloader run from the NAND and then the SSD would take over from there, but…

I have compiled OpenCPN Marine Chart plotter and navigation software for the Orange Pi PC with the Mali graphics acceleration. It seems to be working fine. I am trying to document the process and possibly make a prebuilt image available at opencpn.org. http://opencpn.org/ocpn/Install_Orange_pi_Allwinner I am not happy with the name they gave me for the page. And the details at: http://kb7kmo.blogspot.com/2016/04/opencpn-on-orange-pi-allwinner-h3-arm.html My question is how should I reference armbian? And how should I reference the hardware? Since it appears that a number of these boards are very similar and would probably require the same steps on the …

Hi, since today the torrent downloader script "seed-armbian-torrent" on my seedbox fails to download the current "all-torrents.zip" from: https://dl.armbian.com/torrent/all-torrents.zip I then opened the link in my browser and I got a certificate warning (see attached). It seems the certificate for https://dl.armbian.com/ expired on 21. May 2022. Can someone confirm this, or is it an error on my end?

Ubuntu changed the location of the mini.iso file for the minimal Ubuntu (Server?) installer in their file servers (since the 20.04 release), it's now located here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/installer-amd64/current/legacy-images/netboot/mini.iso The docs should be changed since it could be confusing for new users/developers.

Hi guys, "dmesg" command sometimes shows "br0: received packet on eth0 with own address as source address". Can it be some sign of serious problem or should I ignore it?

Has anyone managed to get armbian running on the Allwinner T113-s3? I've been looking into getting it running and there's really no alternatives to Tina linux that I can find. Looks like it works with AWBoot and XBoot as a bootloader so it shouldn't be impossible. I'm completely new to this so if anyone knows anything it would be greatly appreciated. 😄

Hi all, I'm trying to compile kodi with the openelec patches so it can work on armbian. I've got cedarx installed and am using the following configure: ./configure --enable-non-free --enable-codec=cedarx --prefix=/opt/kodi --disable-x11 --disable-gl --disable-vdpau --disable-vaapi However kodi isn't finding a display. Are these configure options correct?

Hi all, I have been playing with a NanoPi Neo and the 2.8" screen with toutchscreen also from friendly Arm on Linux nanopineo 4.11.0-sun8i. Making it work was not very easy since it was the first time I messed with device trees, also add to rewire the screen to use a different pin for the touchscreen chip select since the connector is a column bigger that the neo's. I can provide more information or the dts file if it is of interest to someone. TL:DR: The problem is that the toutchscreen accuracy is not so great especially on the top part of the screen. I see that the ads7846 driver which I'm using has a "model" option which by being set…

Hi all, I am trying to bring up a new board that uses both Allwinner H616 emacs, the 1Gbps (emac0) and the 10/100Mbps w/internal phy (emac1). I brought in all patches found about that, but it looks like the emac1 does not work properly. It does not reset, this is what I found in the dmesg: [ 2.228695] dwmac-sun8i 5030000.ethernet: EMAC reset timeout As per the datasheet, the reg EMAC_BASIC_CTL1's LSB (SOFT_RST bit) is a bit that must set to 1 to reset, then automatically resets to 0 when the emac has finished the reset procedure. In my case, it remains 1 causing the kernel to unload emac1 driver. Anyone…

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…

Hi, No matter if I run the "sudo reboot" command or use the restart option from Gnome desktop, the Orange Pi 5 is not rebooting. It runs a splash screen with some kind of information after I execute that action, but after that the splash freezes and nothing happens.

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

Hi everyone! To cut long story short I have to make a microUSB port work as USB Host. I found out that there is a patch that will bring the port up. Last year I managed to build a full custom image for my board using armbian documentation.

Does anyone know of an ARM-based single board computer that stores its boot firmware in SPI flash and has write protection mechanisms (e.g., screws, pins, jumpers, etc.) for said SPI flash? The ROCK 3A has something like it, but I don't think the mechanism uses an SPI flash chip's intended WP control pin.

Hello! I am just trying to set up Armbian Buster on my Banana Pi and I am experiencing a strange problem with the keyboard settings: I choose de-UTF8 for system wide locale and system wide language, I set the keyboard to German, but still I couldn't type umlaute (öäü). If I typed "ä", nothing happens. If I typed "ü", it retrieved commands from the bash history, that I typed in earlier. If I typed ö", the input line displayed (arg: 6) After long search I finally found a kind of solution: if I uncomment this line in /etc/inputrc: # set convert-meta off I can type "öäü", but now I also can delete as many characters from …

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.

Hi all, I enjoy Armbian overall and appreciate the support that goes into its upkeep. I previously used the ayufan images but found that those were updated less frequently than I desired and I've wanted to run OpenMediaVault 5.x + and Python3.x+ which have major issues with the Debian 9/Stretch and Kernel 4.x and run better on kernel 5.x and newer. After reinstalling Armbian on a new SD card and porting my old system over from that image, everything generally works well, however there have been some slow-downs. I have the NAS-style enclosure case and two 6 TB 3.5" HDDs. I have checked the thermals and the system runs at a around 60 - 68 degrees C. …

I have an old oDroid M1 that used to have Ubuntu 20 LTS installed on, but after it bricked itself during the install of Ubuntu 22 LTS, I decided to go looking for an alternative OS (it was also really sluggish). I got pointed to Armbian, and since it officially supports the M1, I gave it a go. Unfortunately, the instructions leave much to be desired. This part just doesn't seem to actually work: > Once booted, use armbian-install to write u-boot to MTD (SPI flash). This completely and irrevocably removes Petitboot, replacing it with mainline u-boot. All of the options that appear to be what it means by "write u-boot to MTD (SPI Flash…

Hi, Since yesterday's new 4.8 kernel announcement was having at least one Allwinner CPU supported with I2S in a DTS include file, (sun7i-a20.dtsi), I hope some knowledgable brilliant minds will come and give a similar solution for H3 and the many today's boards that contain this CPU. Christos

With the latest version of Armbian I am no longer able to edit the IP from Armbian-config, is it possible to have instructions to set the static IP?

hello dear all, i am running Armbian on a Banana Pi for more than one month - all goes well No i wanted to do some checks - and i wanted to check the version of the kernel on bash - with /etc/armbian-version but this is only accessible when logged in as superuser At the moment i do not remember the credentials for the super user so i enter su and then a passwd - but i get back "Authentification failure" BTW: with password 1234 i do not succeed. question: What can i do now!?

Hi, my new Orange Pi has been set up with an external HDD. I've backed up my banana pi m1 with sudo tar cvpzf /mnt/BackupNas/backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys --exclude=/dev --exclude=/boot / and restored the files onto the external HDD on the OPI. A restart was successfully and the system appears to run smoothly. It now doesn't display the nice text after logging in via SSH. I am afraid that there are other important files overwritten. Does anybody know what I might have overwritten and needs to be restored from plain armbian? Thanks René

Is there any description how to setup the boot logo? I tried what I found: in build/packages/blobs/splash change logo.png and run command line with "BOOT_LOGO=yes", it doesn't work. After I found "What we use now is plymouth". OK. Does it work in compile time? I don't have plymouth after installing armbian in a docker container. How should I use plymouth (if it is the only way) to make a boot logo in compile time?

It looks like it uses the ili9486l driver but I cant find any instructions that apply for this set up. I tried to follow this guide: https://kaspars.net/blog/spi-display-orange-pi-zero and after using: modprobe fbtft_device custom name=fb_ili9340 gpios=dc:3,reset:0 speed=16000000 busnum=1 rotate=90 dmessage showed: [ 408.747027] fbtft: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.

Hello, I have several ARM boards in my possession and I want to be able to boot them all from a single SD card (I have commercial SW which requires activation and is tied to a particular SD card afterwards). So far, I have made this script which creates multiple /boot-boardname directories, replaces /boot with a symlink to one of those, and makes sure the right u-boot is written to the card. However, I have one little problem I couldn't yet solve: I would like to generate the correct /etc/modules file for a new board, and I don't know how. For example, Orange Pi Zero needs this xradio_wlan module for WIFI. Where do I find the info that this module is needed? A…

I have just downloaded desktop Armbian 22.08 Jammy XFCE on my Odroid-C2 and it works fine on a 1080p monitor. I need it to work on a different monitor though so I have added the following lines to /boot/armbianEnv.txt display_autodetect=false hdmimode=1680x1050p60hz and added hdmitx=forcergb in the bootargs (which I copy/pasted from /boot/boot.cmd) but it has no effect. My monitor works with these parameters on Hardkernels Ubuntu 18.04 image. What else do I need to do?

Hello, I've an Orange Pi H3 board and I should use it on an old vga Acer 15" monitor. Usually with the other SBC and video outputs, I used the usual HDMI to VGA converters that doesn't have an external psu but seems to take the voltage from the 18 pin of the HDMI outputs. With this monitor that is indeed correctly identified by EDID on the adapter and on the Armbian o.s., the screen goes blank and return every few seconds randomly. I measured the PI One H3 pin 18 voltage and it gives out something like 4,6v to 4,8v and I think this might be the problem (?). I remember on the Rpi there was an option to boost the hdmi output and I suppose it increased that. Is there an…

Hello all, I'm trying to install a WireGuard docker's container on my Odroid HC4 with installed "Armbian 21.02.3 Buster" with "Linux 5.10.21-meson64", but I have a problem...

Hi, I've installed Armbian 23.02 Jammy Gnome from https://www.armbian.com/orangepi-5/ on my new Orange Pi 5. Unfortunately, it looks ugly compared to Ubuntu on my x86_64 PC. The main problem is the irregular use of occasional single-colour icons - for example the trash-can in the dock. Is it possible to make Armbian 23.02 Jammy Gnome not use these single-colour icons, and use Ubuntu icons throughout?

An Orange Pi R1+ LTS is on its way to me to replace the Orange Pi R1 that currently serves as my firewall (my fibre speed has increased and 100Mbps PHYs are too slow) The board is similar to the Orange Pi R1+ except that a NIC has a different chipset. Orange Pi R1+ LTS uses Rockchip rk3328 and has 1GB DDR3 memory and two 1 Gbps NICs. Compared to the Orange Pi R1+, the Realtek RTL8211E PHY has been replaced with a YT8531C PHY. The memory is also DDR3 vs DDR4. Armbian has WIP images for the Orange Pi R1+, but not the Orange Pi R1+ LTS. I guess that this could be a good starting point if I can figure out how to change the PHY.

Hello, I try to download beelink image (there is a 404 error) I know that this version is not supported but could amrbian team make these links work again ? Best Regards

Hi, in my case the test is on a Rock64 (4GB, v2 edition) using latest current Buster or Focal. The problem is in the first init configuration assistant. When selecting the "User language based on your location", after selecting es_AR.UTF-8 (I am from Argentina) it "auto-detects" my keyboard layout as AR which belongs to Arabic iirc (which is wrong). After this of course I can't type anything right on terminal. I had to fix it over ssh by issuing the command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration.

Hello everyone, I was used to use the cubox-i running on a hummingboard (2 years ago) and tried to install a pps source using pps-gpio module and the GPIO1 (pin 7) of the HummingBoard jumpers. Given that pps-gpio requires an entry in the device tree for pps, and I couldn't find/patch/recompile again sources (image was built by another person), I decompiled the imx6q-hummingvboard.dtb present in /boot, then modified it adding : pps { compatible = "pps-gpio"; gpios = <0x01 0x01 0x01>; }; and then I recompiled this source and copied into /boot. When I rebooted, the new /dev/pps1 was created and the pulses were rece…

I'm working on a ElPotato running Ubuntu Bionic 18. I have a test suite that test the kernel's random number generators. The test program comes from the Crypto++ library (https://cryptopp.com/).

I am not shure if this is board specific so I post it here and hope that you might be willing to try this on your board: - I installed audit: apt install auditd - I set up a rule for a file audit should watch: auditctl -w /boot/armbianEnv.txt -p wa - I change or touch the file being watched: touch /boot/armbianEnv.txt - I have a look at the log of audit: cat /var/log/audit/audit.log And then ––– I see nothing... Any hints what's going wrong? My guess is that the kernel might be lacking the audit module?!

I am currently facing a challenge with my Orange Pi 5 running Armbian 23.8.1 Jammy. I'm trying to get an exFAT formatted USB drive to work with this setup. I cannot mount an exFAT filesystem, despite having exfat-fuse and exfat-utils installed. The system fails to recognize the exFAT filesystem, displaying the message: "unknown filesystem type 'exfat'". I tried to install this module: https://github.com/arter97/exfat-linux. But I'm getting an error, that states that the driver already should be included on this version of the kernel: root@orangepi5:~/exfat-linux# make make -C /lib/modules/5.10.110-rockchip-rk3588/build M=/root/exfat-linux modules mak…

Hello, I own two odroid hc1 both run on armbian buster Kernel 4.14.222. With my second one I am experiencing something odd. I tried setting it up as a webserver with docker multiple times, at some point I have to reboot and then it never comes back up (not reachable via ssh). Now after each package install I tried rebooting to see if it comes back up. Below is a list of things I did in armbian after initial boot. - apt update --> reboots fine - apt dist-upgrade --> reboots fine -change hostname --> reboots fine - add docker armhf repository -install armbian to disk --> reboot stuck but with power cycle bo…

Hi all, I cannot post to the H6 forum so I cannot reply to @renedis with the link to download the Armbian_5.88.190601_Orangepi3_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_5.1.5 file he asked. For him and other users that actually cannot run the Ubuntu image for Orange Pi 3 I uploaded in my OneDrive the working image: Armbian_5.88.190601_Orangepi3_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_5.1.5 PS: please can someone move to the Allwinner H6 forum? Thank you.

Hi! Yesterday i upgraded ugly Chinese linux to Armbian 16.04 LTS and tested h3control on it. All, except daemon installer, worked fine. Now daemon installer had been fixed. I need any help in testing of it on H3/H2/H5 boards with legacy/mainline kernels. h3control - is a headless daemon/console tool to check and control CPU, DDR frequency and built-in temperature sensor via embedded http-server. It distinguishes from Armbian tools (h3's consumption and monitor): It doesn't rely on particular linux distribution. The only prerequisite is a mono. It tested with mono from 3.2.8 (released in Feb 2014) to 5.4 (current stable). It is a web a…

Well well well, I have been setting up my BananaPro and all that is missing for me is to have it ready to run a QT Application that I'm building. For that I have followed all the package helps and such to have the Bpro ready to run them. Problem is that when I run the infamous test /test inside ./sunxi-mali I get the error: ERROR: eglInitialize failed! Looking at it I've concluded that there is a problem with gcc, but more specifically the fbturbo hasn't even been built properly. When I look at the config file within fbturbo after running ./configure i get this: confidure:3357: gcc -qversion >&5 gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-V'…

Hi! I'm running a Odroid C2 as a SAT->IP-Server for some time having two DVBSky S960 attached to the USB-Ports of the Odroid. The Odroid itsself has a nightly of Armbian installed: 5.38.180128 (4.14.15) and runs a self-compiled tvheadend on it. No big problems so far. As you released a stable stretch-image some time ago, i thought: give it a try! So I flashed the image to my 8GB EMMC, installed all updates, built tvheadend on it and installed it. Everything runs like a charm. Until...I try to use the DVBSky S960 on the USB-Port. Of course I installed the correct driver for it and the device seems to be detected correctly and the drivers are bein…

How can I access individual packages that make up the images that are available for download e.g. at https://www.armbian.com/lenovo-x13s/ ? I see only "full image" downloads and no link to information on what was used to build these images. I poked around the dists named "bookworm something" on apt.armbian.com looking for the kernel used, but didn't find any obvious match (no 6.3 kernel version, no kernel that has "x13s" in the package name, ...). Likewise, there is no x13s listed in https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/master/config/sources/families

I'm trying to build an image for an Olimex A13-Som board. So far it starts booting, but halts when it gets to: "Starting Raise network interface...". I've tried all the available distribution in the builder, (Bionic, Buster, Stretch, Focal etc.) and it's the same for all of them. I quite can't figure out how to get it to move past that point - anyone got a suggestion? Regards.
