Thank you.

Hi, All! I have modified w1-therm kernel module. Now device directory contains two more files w1_read and w1_convert_all. You can read sensor memory without triggering temperature conversion using the first one and you can trigger the temperature conversion on all sensors (implemented using "skip ROM") with the second one. I needed this modification to speed up sensor reading. Now I start temperature measurement on all sensors (it takes 750ms on 18B20) and then read the results. Earlier reading sensor (using w1_slave) required 750+ms for each sensor. Here is the result for my 10sensors 1wire network (using the usual w1_slave required 8.5sec, with new feature…

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: …

Hi , I have an ASUS Tinker board S and I installed Armbian 5.54. How can I increase the default ( 1 GB ) swap space ? Thanks, see you.

Hi there, I am a newbie. Just built my first kerne;/uboot for my RockPi S board. I was wondering a few things : * Are the kernel sources online ? For example : linux-source-5.9.16-rockchip64.tar.xz * If I want to add a devicetree overlay and driver code, what is the best way to do that ? Should I ammend the kernel ? Should I create an out of kernel package ? thanks Matt

What do I need to use a separate monitor for my M4. . . . . keeping in mind, I've used nothing but MS Windows up to this point. Saying that I'm a novice when it comes to Linex, etc. is an understatement. I'm actually having someone else do the initial set for me.

Hi, Appreciate any help on this :) Sorry if this is the wrong place for this. Problem: iiyama Prolite E2783QSU will not display resolution higher than 1080p on RockPro64, I'm sure it's supposed to go up to 4k Background: I've spent the last few days getting Armbian booting from NMVe which is all good and got Desktop up and running with MATE and over coming issues with brisk menu not working. I have other issues than this but will post separately for those. My Background: Last used Unix back in 1997, just 86ed Windows from my life, this is interesting but harder than I thought lol.

I wonder if any work is being done in that direction. Every browser i tried has some sort of issues, that makes it less than usable on H3 devices. -epiphany/midori: both work decently, but lock up after some time with 25% cpu usage (could be a webkit1 issue ?) -chromium: slow and apparently absent from repos -firefox: works ok, but quite slow -net surf: very fast and stable, but not up to date for web standards (probably what makes it fast in the first place) Am i missing any browsers here ? I propose we optimize one of those, that would work best on out allwinner devices in a similar fashion of what raspberry team did with epiphany. I'm sure lots of folks…

Hi, since I upgraded my debian-based Armbian installations from 21.08.x to 22.02.1 the DISTRIBUTION_CODENAME variable is empty in the MOTD. It seems this error is in file https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/packages/bsp/common/etc/update-motd.d/10-armbian-header since commit https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/3378/commits/1c71761973858c2bea16074075ef74157c2a960b.

Hi I am trying to prepare SD card that I will be able to copy the same image to several boards: - I have my final OS on EMMC of "mother" board(installed with nand-sata-install), - copy os to SD card using dd if=...of=.., so I got .img file How to clone emmc content to another boards? I know I can use nand-sata -install (preprare my final OS on SD card and the copy to all boards), but it is not quick way. Raw copy is much faster. Any ideas? Of course dd if=my.img of=/emmc does not work - some problem with boot.

I have a Odroid N2+ whose SD card holder doesn’t seem to work. I have a Supervised HA installation on Debian 12 bookworm booting off a USB HDD.

Hi guys, I am tying to get HW video acceleration to work without a full desktop environment. Right now, I am able to get videos to start to play with startx /usr/bin/mpv --vo=x11 video.mkv. However, the video seems to be software decoded. I have tried startx /usr/bin/mpv --vo=vdpau video.mkv but mpv failed to start with an error message "[vo/vdpau] Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 1Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.Video: no videoA0". I have also tried startx /usr/bin/mpv --vo=x11 --hwdec=vdpau video.mkv but the video doesn't seem to be hardware accelerated. Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks!

Is there any way to get this back? Does it require a re-compile of mpv, or is this behaviour a result of the All winner undocumented blob based hardware acceleration, dumping pixels straight onto the frame buffer, with little one can do about it. Has anybody compiled mpv from scratch and not had this issue? I notice that when playing video, the video paints over the top of everything - including the mouse pointer.

Hi everyone, I'm very new to Armbian Linux. I'm about to acquire Orange Pi Zero 2W for my audio project. I have read some of the forum posts related to the SOC's native I2S, and I'd like to know if those problems mentioned in the posts have been resolved in the new kernel? Meaning that users don't have to write and compile their own device tree overlay and kernel mode driver? My project require a full duplex I2S with the CODEC as the master. Nothing fancy, just 2 channels in and 2 channels out. Hope someone can help clear the doubts so that I know for sure I will not be buying what I can not use. Thanks

Hi guys! I understood yesterday that the Raspberry Pi 3 is limited to only 2-channel 16-bit PCM audio over HDMI by its ALSA driver. Therefore I'm now looking for another board capable of at least outputting 6x 24-bit LPCM 48 kHz channels. My goal is to build a software DSP, processing multi-channel audio recorded from an USB audio interface. The idea is to capture a home-cinema receiver pre-outs, mix and apply biquads for crossover with the sub and speaker tuning, then handle the clock difference between input and output. A couple threads mention difficulties with 24-bit audio, on legacy kernel and over I2S, where the user Christos observed issues. Do…

Of the boards supported by Armbian, which do you prefer for multiple audio devices and audio related applications? I need to control two audio streams, in and out each and add information to the streams as appropriate. I would like to use as little external hardware as possible so stereo mic or dual mic input and stereo out would be awesome. I'm a little overwhelmed by the choices, so opinions are definitely welcome here.

Duplicated in another thread...Never mind.

I am currently working on a Development Board based on RK3288. We are using Rockchip kernel as mentioned here https://github.com/rockchip-linux/kernel This uses libdrm (DRI) for its rendering purposes. But it has limitations. Only one CRTC is connected out of 2. It provides 8 planes, out of which only 4 are available for the working CRTC, out of which user available OVERLAY planes are only 2, and out of which only 1 Plane supports NV12 rendering. I need to show 2-4 videos simultaneously, can anyone help me here on how to procure more planes, particularly NV12 compatible OVERLAY type, that can be connected to the working CRTC?

I cannot connect by VNC/ FTP from more than one computer on network to my Rock64 but can do multiple SSH.

Hello, I am running Armbian on my Hummingboard i2eX, currently with Debian Buster on 4.9.7 kernel. For running some legacy HW (s0vz, counting impulses) I have to mux several GPIO pins to use them for input. Following http://www.solid-run.com/community/topic1571.html on 4.x kernel, I always was able to mux e.g. gpio-73 with devmem 0x020e0138 32 0x15 and then set the pin for input with: echo 73 > /sys/class/gpio/export echo "rising" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio73/edge Starting with 5.x kernel based Armbian images, I have 2 issues: muxing any IO pins with devmem seems no more possible and gpio72 is now reserved for Butto…

Doing apt search took just a few seconds before, but since some days, probably after an apt update && apt upgrade, it has become so slow that a search takes many minutes (20+ minutes) instead of seconds. I don't know why, and I don't know how to fix this. Do you know what to do? The slow part of the search is where it says "Full Text Search". It reaches 50% quickly, and then goes slow.

First time trying Armbian on my N2. I know N2 is very picky with HDMI cables, I tried a bunch of HDMI cables and couldn't make it work thru any my HDMI switches(1080p). I had to connect it directly to the HDMI ports on my TV to get video signal. My Samsung TV is a 65inch 4k capable of handling 1080p resolutions with my other arm64 devices(C4, Rpi4, Rockpro64 and N2+) without any issues. Unfortunately, despite of setting resolution to 1080p60(setenv hdmimode "1080p60hz"), disabling auto detection(setenv display_autodetect "false") and setting HDP=true(setenv disablehpd "true") on boot.ini, it keeps ignoring these settings. Just to make sure, I edited both "boot.ini" under …

Hi everybody ! Is it possible to transfer from emmc to sd card? That is, as in the nand-sata-install script, only in the opposite direction.

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!

Hello, Is it just me or something has changed lately regarding the installation of u-boot on SPI?

Hello, I installed armbian on my board and decided to attach HDD to move rootfs on it. So I used script which you provide nand-sata-install. It worked as expected but not sure why it kept /boot still on SDcard? I do understand that uboot needs to be still on SDcard present, but uboot should be able to find /boot directory also on HDD partition, right? Or is there some compatibility issue, why this approach was decided? My concerns are if sdcard dies, i need to recreate not only uboot but also /boot. JV

I have been trying to install armbian and run from usb flash. every time i can get through the installer (it usually freezes at 2 3 or 4 percent when it does make it all the way it hangs on reboot. i have tried different usb drives even a cf card. also i read the instructions on which image to use but i am lost as to which one is which. i understand the small images are the headless but the desktop versions i am not sure of the differences. here is a list of the available images. i don't understand the differences in the versions. archive2018-04-05 14:013.9 GB nightly2018-01-28 16:29609 B Nanopik-s_Ubuntu_xenial_next_desktop.…

Hi guys, I am trying to use TP-Link dongle WN722N v3 as an access point . I am using Nano Pi Neo Core EMMC with expansion board running Armbian Buster with Linux 5.3.9-sunxi . The device can detect wifi signals nearby as seen on nmtui in managed mode . I followed the instructions on https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=25472&sid=84d2b8f1e7ad477e9907591eb7fb030d to configure as access point . However , I get an error every time like this . root@Cyborg:~# nmcli connection up HotSpot ifname wlx503eaaa2df7b Error: Connection activation failed: Connection 'HotSpot' is not available on device wlx503eaaa2df7b because profile is not compat…

Hi, I have a neo3 that has been running without any issues for about a year. Today after I had to restart it and the device wouldn't boot anymore. I checked the systemd logs by mounting the sd card in my laptop and I can see that it didn't get to boot at all (as there are no systemd logs after the shutdown). I checked the card for filesystem issues, and it seems to be OK. But I have no idea how to fix this. I really don't want to flash again an image and start from zero as I have a good amount of software installed that would take a lot of time to setup again. If this is a problem with the bootloader, how can I troubleshoot it? I don't have a serial interface so I…

Hello, My nanopc t4 device is not booting.i tried all different ways(eflasher method,usb-type c method and boot from SD card method). but output is same. UART debug shows below output every time. as well as recovery key is not working as expected. how ever maskrom mode can be enabled with holding the boot key while turn on the the SBC.

Hi Armbian Community, I am trying to get the Coral/Google NPU (M.2 PCIe key) to work with the NanoPC-T4. Without success. I built Armbian with linux headers (5.4.48) and was able to apt install the gasket-dkms package. (The EdgeTPU requires Google's Gasket and Apex drivers to be built as modules with DKMS, and thus requires the linux headers to be installed at /usr/src). Also, there was no conflicting Gasket or Apex module in the Armbian release prior to install (an issue found by other EdgeTPU systems on other distros). My problem, I believe, has to do with the NanoPC-T4's PCIe. I have tried many different kernels (FriendlyElec's Core/Des…

I have some DYI idea to make some custom ODBII Logger using SBC with Armbian. So I'm searching for suitable SBC: - quite small (50x50mm max), IoT category I think - with H3, at least 512MB RAM - eMMC at least 4GB, SD Cards support - 1 USB for pendrive - wifi in AP mode, just for ssh and copying small files via scp - second UART, freen 2xGPIO, and nice to have audio line-out also - and the most important: running Armbian in headless mode with booting from eMMC - working DVFS to keep temperature in lower levels, no heat dissipation problems (SBC will mostly work with low cpu usage, but I don't really know how low can be CPU/DRAM clock…

Hello, the Nanopi DUO 2 has marked igor as a maintainer but the download section is empty. It's the board removed from support or maybe there is some small bug on portal? best regards Slawek

Hi all, I am trying to use a MCP3426 I2C ADC chip with my NanoPi Duo2. I have compiled a custom kernel with the mcp3426 driver in it, but I can't get it to load. The problem seems to be that the chip uses address 0x68 which is the same address that the commonly used DS1307 RTC chip uses. I have blacklisted the ds1307 module which has stopped that module from loading, but somehow '/sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0068/name' still claims to be a ds1307. 'echo mcp3426 0x68 > /sys/class/i2c-dev/i2c-0/device/new_device' results in a "Invalid argument error" with 'i2c i2c-0: Failed to register i2c client mcp3426 at 0x68 (-16)' being logged in dmesg, and apparently the -16…

Hi. I am trying to start an Armbian flashed image. It is the main on the download page (both Buster and Focal). The Fire3 is lighing the red led and the green one but the screen is frozen on the U-boot first row as shown in the image attached here. Nothing appens. I burned the image with BalenaEtcher and Unetbootin. In both cases all the two images in the download page of the Fire3 are showing the same row at boot time. The images provided by the FriendlyElec website are working normally so there is not, for me, an hardware issue. I am building a SBC rack and I would like to install Armbian for all the boards. Thanks and sorry if I duplicete the thread but here is not eas…

I have a Nanopi K1 Plus board and I have a 7" LCD screen. Can my motherboard use this controller and can I connect it to my 7" LCD screen? I found a controller on the Internet: This is a contoller.

Hi At the beginning I would like to say hi. I do not know English well, so please be patient. I will try to describe my problem. I have a Nanopi K2 and a Waveshare 7 LCD HDMI (C) display. After connecting and starting Nanopi, nothing is displayed. It seems to me that the computer can not properly start. When I turn on the Nanopi and the system will load, then I connect the display and it works correctly. Picture and touch work. What could be the reason? Where to start? Regards Trebor

Hello there, I have 1 Nano Pi K2 S905X SBC with Armbian Ubuntu Bionic Installed. Externally connected with USB HDD (Toshiba 1TB) as a backup storage. How am I going to configure the Armbian Ubuntu Bionic to become something like Samba / NAS so that I can access the Ext USB HDD via Local IP. I tried few times and can't made it successfully for 1TB USB HDD as a network drive. Can someone experts here assist me on this matter? Thanks in advance. Best regards.

Hi, I am using NanoPi Debian Jessie (graphical Desktop) image for my NanoPi M1 plus device. The device sometimes doesn't boot from the EMMC. I have to keep on uploading a fresh image every time. It has been the issue whenever I try to boot from the EMMC. It comes up randomly. It boots perfectly after a lot of reboots and sometimes it doesn't reboot after 3-4 reboots. Can you please tell me what is the issue here? I don't my device to boot from SD card.

Hi, I got several nanopi m1+ with armbian and some of them are working, but I cannot connect via ssh (conn refused) and other services like openvpn are stopped or not working but others like apache are working without problems. I don't know why it happens to some boards and other not, but it f... me because this board need new Has somebody got this problems too? Anybody knows a solution?

Oops, I connected a 24V power supply to the SATA Hat and I think I blew the diode on the hat. (see photo) Not sure if it is a diode, which way should it be orientated. Stupid idiot for creating the magic smoke, I hope I can repair it. I tried booting the Orange Pi I had already connected to it (because the original NanoPi M4 is missing... Fortunately the OrangePi is OK. Any advice on where to look if the diode in question does not fix it. Cheers, James

Thanks for work on armbian! I've got nanopim4 recently, stable build worked like a charm out of the box (maybe w/o bluetooth) I digged into all build scripts, tried out the dev and even got a step forward. I'm actually ready to support further development with this board See my reports, attempts and links here: https://gist.github.com/razum2um/8e2bfbcffdcdb3a832a4862339330867 Would be glad if @Igor , @chwe or someone else helps with the wifi question there p.s. sorry for posting here, but I'm unable to post into `development` forum section for rk3399

Hi, I would like to run my NanoPi M4 from an external USB3 SSD. Does anybody know if the images here: http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_M4#Work_with_FriendlyCore Will work? Or are they specifically for SD or eMMC? If they won't work, how do I modify to make it work? Many thanks! M

NanoPi M4B doesn't have dedicated page and image. But hardware is very closed to "NanoPi M4" (same CPU & RAM) Do you know if I could use NanoPi M4 version on M4B? I'm willing to buy a NanoPi M4B but I want to be sure armbian will be compatible

Hi folks, I had an old install of armbian which worked. I wanted a new install to start fresh all over. My problem is that i don't het any HDMI signal form the board. What i've done so far: - Downloaded ISO from armbian (nanopim4 with DE) - flashed iso to sd 8GB SD card - ssh to the board and did the first install - with `armbian-install` installed to 32GB emmc - enabled RDP for remote access but i was not able to get this to work either -.-' System: _ _ ____ _ __ __ _ _ | \ | | _ \(_) | \/ | || | | \| | |_) | | | |\/| | || |_ | |\ | __/| | | | | |__ _| |_| \_|_| |_| |_| |_| |_| Wel…

Hi, My Nanopi M4V2 runs perfectly on Buster. The Nanopi runs stable and I don't have any issues for my use-case. It runs 24/7 and is only accessible through Wireguard. On the website from Debian it says that there are no security updates anymore for Buster. Does this also apply to the Armbian version? Of could I just keep running Buster if I keep kernel and software up-to-date? https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/ Thanks for the help, Lennyz

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, I'm trying to find out how to use a 1.5 Inch RGB OLED Display that uses the SSD1351 IC on a NanoPi M4 however I don't seem to be able to turn on the SPI.

Hello, I've been using a M4V2 since its release mostly as a NAS (disks over UBS 3.0). I also have it booting from a Samsung NVMe with the official NVMe hat. My setup works flawlessly however I was thinking about ways to add more storage with reasonable performance/price so I thought, what if I managed to add a standard PCIe x1 port from the pins on the board and use standard hardware with it. The idea was to add a cheap PCI switch + NVMe adapter (to boot from) and a PCI to SATA controller such as the following: 1) PCI Switch: https://www.ebay.com/itm/PCI-Express-1X-to-4X-PCI-E-4-Ports-Switch-Multiplier-Expansion-Riser-Card-New/293564888…

I had a hard time to figure out how to set the input pull-up on GPIO 1 of the NanoPi neo2. In the end it appeared to be extremely simple, but in order to help other beginners I like to share how I accomplished it. 1) I created a dts file with the input pull-up definition for GPIO 1 2) I compiled the dts with the "armbian-add-overlay" tool 3) rebooted the NanoPi Neo2 That's it. The dts file can be placed anywhere on the Nanopi Neo2 eg. /home/pi/sun50i-h5-nanopi-neo2-pullup.dts nano /home/pi/sun50i-h5-nanopi-neo2-pullup.dts The content of sun50i-h5-nanopi-neo2-pullup.dts looks like this: /dts-v1/; …

Hello, I have a problem with a Nanopi Neo3: on 22/03/2022, after upgrading to 22.02, the board does not start anymore. Unfortunately, I cannot debug it via serial. I have a CP2102 adapter (known to work), but I only get garbled characters. Maybe I am doing something wrong with the serial connection, but I cannot figure it out. Any suggestion? Thanks

Hi All, I am having issues reading frames from a usb camera connected to my nanopi neo air. I can get images from a logitech C170 webcam fine but not from this other USB camera module. I can access it from my mac/ubuntu VM fine so it definitely works. The device is recognised as a video device and mounts to /dev/video0 but times out when I try to get frames from it. It seems like a driver issue but I can't figure it out.

Hello everyone, I have a NanoPi Neo Core and I try to do run the WS2812B leds. But I dont find the best form to that. I try to search a library and I found this https://github.com/rpi-ws281x/rpi-ws281x-python but dont works with my board. I try to control the leds with the pin PA6 -> GPIOA6 but I can't get it Do you know how I can make it work? Thanks for everything in advance.

Hello, I have a nanopi neo and armbian hirsute running. But the problem is I cannot establish a wifi connection with armbian-config / nmcli / nmtui. Errormessage: Error: Connection activation failed: (53) The Wi-Fi network could not be found. So I stepped back to bionic and heres the wifi working. What I'am doing wrong? Is there a solution?

Does anybody have the proven experiance that a NanoPi Neo-LTS is a drop-in replacement (no SW changes) for a NanoPi Neo? And is a NanoPi Neo2 a drop-in replacement for Neo and/or Neo-LTS? From the specs I'd assume it works. Both above scenarios. But maybe there is anybody who really did such a HW-exchange...

Dear community, dear @Igor (as maintainer of NEO3 CSC), thanks a lot for the NEO3 support. This board ran rock solid for me approx. two years straight – much more stable than my other SBCs running Armbian (due to various reasons, no offense :)). However, the board failed to boot with "ERROR: Did not find a cmdline Flattened Device Tree". It appears that ``rk3328-nanopi-neo3-rev02.dtb`` went missing. This must have happened when upgrading the package ``linux-dtb-current-rockchip64`` from 21.08.2 to 22.02.1. As a workaround, it helps to (download the CSC image for the board again, get the file out of the image,) place the file in ``/boo…
