Hello everyone. I'm using the latest version of armbian for the NanoPi R2S. I noticed that the board has 4 exposed GPIO ports on the board. I'm interested in using the RX1 and TX1 and use it for the UART interface. It seems I cannot use it. It might be disabled by default. Can somebody confirm or not if UART1 is enabled by default and if not what should I do to enable it ? Thanks Guillaume

I have a NanoPi R2S Plus. If I boot the FriendlyElec Debian image both network ports work: LAN and WAN. If I boot the Armbian NanoPi R2S image, it boots OK and the LAN port works but the WAN port does not work. I believe the WAN port does not work because the NanoPi R2S has an RTL8211E chip but the NanoPi R2S Plus has an RTL8211F chip. I found some notes about problems with network on other boards that had the same change of chip (e.g. radxa RockpiE) and the device tree changes required to accommodate the new chip. So I tried to patch armbian/build to make the same changes for the NanoPi R2S Plus. I am not familiar with armbian/build or…

Hi, I have read the topic about emmc backuping, thank to @martinayootte . Now, how do I restore from backup? New Nano Pi has booted. SD/USB card with backup image is attached. Must I simply use dd form "if" to emmc? Is it correct? Emmc contains image that is being run now, and as far as I know, some files are locked? Does it matter? Brgs, Aleksei Mikutskiy

I can't find bionic images for NanoPI R2S/R4S , is there any place I can find them ? Thanks.

I tried to create encrypted home folders on my NanoPi R4S but for some reason the password prompt does not show up in serial console. It just times out and therefore fails. I assume that the prompt is not properly pointed to the serial console but the board's console is clearly set to serial. Tried to simply connect an USB keyboard and when the boot at the serial console pauses to enter the password this way but no idea if it has been recognized because it made no difference. Keyboard itself worked though, system rebooted on CTRL+ALT+DEL. Tried a few things like making the code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; backgr…

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 …

Greetings, Apologies for the naive question - I'm no linux expert. I've just set up the latest focal on a r4s. I can login on both the wan and the lan interfaces. On the wan side, I have address:192.168.1.2/24 gateway:192.168.1.1 and dns:1.1.1.1, on the lan side I have 192.168.0.1/24. From a server on the lan side I am able ping both of the r4s interfaces, but I am unable to ping the gateway 192.168.1.1. I am also unable to do an 'apt update' on the lan side server as it is unable to connect to ubuntu etc. I used nmtui to set up the r4s and I couldn't find any additional information on setting up packet flow between interfac…

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

Hi, all.

I just wrote the Armbian Ubuntu Jammy Desktop image to an SD HC card and booted up fine with it (although I can only boot if I disconnect the HDMI cable -- when boot up is finished, I can plug it in and use the desktop. That's another story, but I have the same issue with official NanoPi Ubuntu images. Next, I transferred the Armbian OS to the eMMC and indicated that I wanted both the boot and system to be on the eMMC. After transferring the rootfs and getting the Power Off prompt, I powered off, then removed the SD HC card, then attempted to boot. However, when I tried to power on again, the NanoPi went into a reboot loop. Armbian will not boot without t…

Hi! Yesterday I get my first build of a NanoPi port of pi4j (http://pi4j.com/) running. A simple test with a double color led on a NanoPi M1 works fine. Actually I am going to adapt the board specific code. Hence some questions are open. Is there a simple way to differ NanoPi Boards by SW (NanoPi M1, Neo and Air) to set the correct board? Memory size of the board The Raspberry code uses the revision string of /proc/cpuinfo to retrieve this informations. But this info is PI specific. Any idea how to get this info? Using C is not a problem - pi4j is a mix of Java and native libraries. Peter P.S: Java Example File - …

Hello there, I am using Armbian 20.11.6 Buster with Linux 4.4.213-rk3399 on a Nanopi M4V2, I have connected 3 SATA HDDs and use mdadm (for a RAID 5 Array of those drives), luks lvm and ext4 (in that order, more details below) to store my backups. `armbianmonitor -u` link: http://ix.io/2NYv Recently I have received errors in borg backup, about mismatching checksums.

I'll soon be adding a 4 port M4 SATA hat (Marvell 88SE9215) to a NanoPiM4V2 and was wondering if it will be supported in the current release of ARMBIAN? Or, will I need to build a new image? If so, what driver might I need to add to the kernel config? pi@raid:~$ uname -a Linux raid 5.8.17-rockchip64 #20.08.21 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 31 08:22:59 CET 2020 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

Ok so the title can confuse more than it really is! So basically I have a armbian distro configured as NAT where wlan0 is the internal interface and eth0 is the "pubic" interface that provides internet (this set is provided out of the box by armbian-config). My devices connect over wlan0 grabbing an IP, say 172.24.1.114 I have added a VPN to a remote network resulting in the creation of ppp0, with IP 10.10.10.12 Having these info, what I want to achieve is: * Only one IP (e.g. 172.24.1.114) has to always go towards ppp0 (that is all traffic back and forth should go to ppp0, so I can either reach machines and navigate on internet with the remote IP…

Hi there, I am quite new to Armbian (Debian), but experienced on Fedora (RedHat). I want to use national language support on my Armbian device [Orange Pi PL+]. In particular Polish (but if this post transforms into guide it will be for others too). How do I install(?) / enable (?) / rebuild (?) packages (especially GUI) to enable Polish language? With this, OPi / Armbian would be an "viable" alternative to some "STBs" (2x less price... freedom of installing packages). Fonts, keyboard (I saw only "Polish-Dvorak" which is not correct, should be "polish-programmers" - with ALT-Gr or Polish-"typewriter" which I guess is not available now), all these stuff. …

I recently bought an Odroid HC4 to use as NAS. I then installed the latest Armbian (kernel 5.10, so pretty current one) and zfs-dkms (2.0.3-1, from backports - so again should be pretty current). I can now create ZFS pools from my attached HDDs (currently just one - may mirror later). Great... except I want them encrypted and performance is BAD. Like 40 to 70MB/s when copying via Samba (depending on which cypher I create the dataset with, no compression or deduplication) and CPU pegged at 100% bad. I was honestly surprised by this, considering the S905X3 is supposed to have hardware crypto acceleration (and cryptsetup benchmark shows results more in line with …

I burned a xz compressed image of Armbian Focal onto a good SD card using BalenaEtcher as instructed on the Armbian website. I placed it into my NanoPC T4 - which currently boots from the eMMC, and held the boot button while powering on. It tried to boot - but it kept reporting there was no bootloader file and seemed to be trying to load something from the internet, not the SD card. If I dont press the boot button, it simply ignores the SD card and boots from eMMC. I reburned the SD card several times, and each time it verified fine. Does anyone know what I did wrong?

I'm currently designing a PCB which will use a nanopi duo board. Unfortunately it is not in stock at the moment so I can't order one yet to verify some measurements.

Is this correct? - length of the pin headers. So I know how high it will sit on the PCB - total height of the pins + PCB - is there anything on the bottom PCB which is higher than the plastic on the pin headers? In other words; can I push the whole module all the way down to a PCB and then only have …

I am able to rebuild the kernel for this board and the image runs fine, but it appears that is does not support the UART on the GPIO. Does anyone know which kernel files need to be modified for this?

How can I tell which .fex file the build is using? Thanks for any help, -Rich

I like to connect an Atmega328 micro to the UART of the Neo Core. The micro runs on 5v. Are the neo core pins 5v tolerant? I can't find any information on the Website only this one: "All pins are 3.3V, output current is 5mA"

Because I have updated to Armbian 22.02 with the linux 5.15.25 kernel and I am using the rk3328-nanopi-r2-rev00 device tree, I thought I should share what I have discovered. 1/ I had trouble setting up a one-wire device (ds18b20 temperature sensor).

Hi. For my application it would be very advantageous to speed up the boot time of the device as much as possible. The application depends on the network, and unfortunately it seems it takes a while for the interface to establish a connection. After plugging in the device, I count that it takes about 25-30 seconds until my application starts (which is set to start on reboot by cron). However, at that time, the network is still not up, so it matters little that the application has started. It takes another 20 seconds or so until the device is reachable by the network. So total 45-50 seconds from boot. Why is this? I see in systemd-analyze t…

rk3288.txtHi all, I stumbled across a board which may be of interest for one of my next projects. Here you can find a link to it, it is model JLD076 I have the board already on my desk, and as it is really well equipped with loads of interfaces, I would love to get Armbian working on it.

Hi, My ODROID-HC2 has just arrived and I flashed a SDCard with a fresh Armbian Sketcher fot it. Did the initial configuration, with apt-upgrade and then opened Armbian-config and selected to install OpenmediaVault (the only other things installed are SAMBA and Softether). The installation started whiteout any problem, but I got some errors the it tried to install openmediavault extras package. Since all logs were vanished after the install stopped, I cannot post here. But when I try to install again, I get this errors: If I try to do an apt Upgrade I receive the following error: alexantao@NAS:~$ sudo apt up…

I downloaded and installed the Ubuntu noble image. Was this the correct one for my Raspberry Pi400 if I wanted the rolling release version? Thanks

I have owned numerous Raspberry Pi boards over the years, and I have always have ran Kodi on one of them. For years I have been wanting to upgrade my RPi 3 as it cannot play any of my H.265/HEVC videos. With all the shortages, and how old the Raspberry Pi 4 is getting, I made a rather spontaneous purchase for this Orange Pi 4 LTS board. Getting it all setup is easy enough, but of course, the video (even with H.264!) nearly maxes all 6 cores and the video is chunky as it's just doing everything without any video acceleration. Even navigating the menu seems slow and delayed. I have been scouring these forums and other sources for about 12 hours now, and I am sti…

Hello to everyone. Being new around here I figured to drop one message here first... So, i have this Radxa Rock 4D SBC and i am quite impressed with it Me being me and SBC being what it is, yada... yada, i now have this hat+ from Waveshare - it is an dual SATA to PCIe adapter. It was designed for the Raspberry pi 5 obviously but Radxa has since started putting those FPC connectors on and i really would appreciate a 24/7 NAS with a SBC footprint... Long story short, it does not work out of the box - i have no doubt the product is okay it's just the HAT fails to initiate the OS and register. It reportedly has an eprom with data o…

Hi, Hobby-level user here. New to Armbian. Trying to get Nextcloud and PiHole installed and running on my Odroid HC1. I use Tailscale as a VPN and would like to be set up to use both the pihole's ad-blocking and Nextcloud from outside my LAN. I've gone through set up and install of both. Armbian-config>Softy reports both installed and running. Nextcloud The Nextcloud activation page is visible at https://192.168.20.100/activate/ When I go to https://nextcloudpi.local:4443 I get nothing - it seems to get stuck at the DNS lookup stage.

I used to be able to easily install ili9341 lcd's on old armbian using, but now it looks like it became much harder now... can you tell me or point me to the right direction to start?

I am a Linux-Newbee myself but in the DOS/Windows-world I was programmer and admin. But my friend is a total user-only (he is physiotherapist an GOOD in that) so I ended up being his computerman. We both have the rockPi 4 A (no WLAN) with Armbian XFCE. He also has some pad with Android. Everything was good for about a year. He is using Telegram a lot. On the pad he had several messages about a Telegram update, one click, done. On the RockPi with Armbian instead he had messages about using an outdated version of Telegram which soon will cease functioning. No Updates offered. He installed Telegram new which worked, but after a restart he had the old versio…

Hi everyone, I have a Helios 4 running Armbian 5.68 I have set up Nextcloud, and everything is working. However, if the server is "cold" it takes several seconds for the page to load. If the server is "hot" then the page loads immediately. I'd like to know if there's anything I can do to keep the page loading at its fastest speed. I'm confident that it's not due to the hard drive going into standby. I have used the command sudo hdparm -S 0 /dev/sda To disable the hard drive going into standby mode, and confirmed that the slow loading still occurs if the hard drive is active/idle with sudo hdparm -C /dev/sda Any s…

My Nextcloudpi was running like a charm for years on an Odroid HC1 (no possibility to attache a monitor). It was still running Debian Buster 19.11.7. It was running so well that I neglected it a little too much. And then, when I attempted to upgrade the distro, it went bad. During the upgrade the following error occured: `` Err:5 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian buster-backports Release 404 Not Found [IP: 2a04:4e42:6f::644 80] Ign:6 http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/armbian-apt buster InRelease Err:7 http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/armbian-apt buster Release 404 Not Found [IP: 2001:878:346::116 80] Reading package lists...

Looking in the forums for a few days and reading up on a lot of stuff, I got the zero to boot from spi and USB, fairly easy once you got the right commands, and replacing "linux-u-boot-next-orangepipc2_5.34_arm64" with the version on the image for the board. The I tried NFS shares and that worked fine to, but now I want to boot directly from another server, providing different folders for each board that I have and use spi for the boot. The reading the forum again to find out more about NFS booting, and mostly found this "hurray I got it to work" then kind of leaving the rest of us hanging there thinking HOW??? I was then reading about uboot and fo…

Today I had problems copying files from my Synology NAS. Browsing the directories was fine but copying files resulted in I/O error. No errors in any logs (dmesg, /var/log/messages) The kernel is not built with rpc debugging available so I couldn't look further in to the cause. Armbian 5.26 didn't work Armbian 5.25 didn't work I Downgraded all the way back to 5.23 (kernel 4.8.4) and everything works perfectly.

Hi, I just updated my armbian current to 5.10.35 and I'm quite excited, as pwm and gpio works as with LE :) Then I tried to mount some nfs-shares from nas. Usually I only have to install nfs-common. I did that on armbian, but when I try to mount a share, I get the error message, that nfs protocol (version) is not supported. The used command work on every other system I have (desktop and rockpi). I just use 'nfs' as filesystem type - no version specified/requested. Is there something special on armbian, to have nfs support enabled?

I have an orangepi pc+ which (among other duties) exports my usb (/media/wd/Music) drive with nfs. The external usb drive (A Western Digital) automatically enters sleep mode when it is not used for a while. When I try to mount that nfs-share on another machine, I hear the drive spinning up (awakening) and the mount succeeds. But when I try to access the mount I get "ls: cannot access /opt/music: Stale file handle" I had the same drive and /etc/exports on my raspberrypi-2 but there I did not have this problem (I could hear it spinning up as well when I accessed the mount so I know it was entering sleep mode as well). So I think it is a difference in configuration…

Recently updated soft on Banana Pi. After updating packages and restarting realized that nginx was not installed. Attempt to install it failed with: The following packages have unmet dependencies: nginx-core : Depends: libcrypt1 (>= 1:4.1.0) but it is not installable Appears, that libcrypt1 library was removed. Does any one experience this? Any fixes? Thanks SF

I was hoping to use the same type of backups for my Armbian Minecraft Server as I currently use for my RASPBX system which uses Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi 3 and sucessfully updates a backup of the entire SD card every night. I successfully modified and ported the RASPBX-BACKUP script to other Raspberry Pi's I have that are fulfilling other tasks and they also make backups just fine. The are also running Raspbian. I ported to my Le Potato running Armbian and when I try to run the initial backup it chokes with the following errors: rsync: symlink "/media/bkup/boot/dtb" -> "dtb-4.14.52-meson64" failed: Operation not permitted (1) rsync: symlink "/media/bkup/boot/uI…

I have tried many Armbian images with my orange zero 2 but the best I get is the Armbian logo. Can anyone tell me if there is something else does need to be done? With the images from the orangepi page the board works fine, so is not the hardware apparently. Thanks.

Hello: I have been trying to install the desktop environment with armbian-config System/ Default : Install desktop with browser and extras and nothing happens. Does anyone have an idea of the problem. Orangepi Zero Plus2-h3 / Armbian-22.02.2_orangepizeroplus2-h3_jammy_edge_5.16.12.img.xz After reboot returns back to CLI Thanks.

I downloaded Armbian_25.5.1_Nanopi-r6s_trixie_current_6.12.32_minimal.img.xz and used unxz to uncompress it. Then I wrote it to a flash drive using: sudo dd if=Armbian_25.5.1_Nanopi-r6s_trixie_current_6.12.32_minimal.img of=/dev/rdisk4 bs=4194304 status=progress sync When I put the SD card in the slot, the heartbeat LED runs, the keyboard initializes, the LED light for the connected LAN lights green, but I get nothing on the monitor (HDMI).

Hi, I have a Pine 64. Latest stable kernel works fine, but after update to kernel > 5.0 I don't have network. dmesg shows the next lines: Could not attach to PHY stamac_open: Cannot attach to PHY (error -19) Tried a 100 mbit switch, even that isn't a solution. Strange thing is it has worked once a month ago. Power for the board is supplied by the Euler bus. Update: update to the latest kernel (5.1.3) and now I see in in dmesg: Unsupported interface mode: rgmii-txid. Tried this solution: but it doesn't work. Thanks, Rene

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…

I've installed the latest Armbian Bookworm Cinnamon desktop image to the EMMC of the Banana Pi M5, but it does not display anything on the HDMI output after startup. Here's what happens when I start the system: - Starts loading the kernel (I can see the startup messages) - Shows the "Armbian" loading screen (with the spinning icon) - Switches back to the startup messages for a bit - Shows a black screen with a single "_" in the top left corner - After a few seconds my screen says that there is "No Signal" The Banana Pi still seems to be running, I can see the lights. Any idea what happens and how to fix it? …

I'm trying to setup Ethernet connection on Omnima A20 - it's a cheaper stripped down version of Cubietruck (less RAM, less IO connectors, RTL8201CP 100Mbit network chip instead of 1Gbit). I'm using Debian Buster server image for Cubietruck. Everything works fine except Ethernet. ethtool says the link is up, full duplex 100Mbit. Neither networkmanager nor dhclient are able to obtain IP address from router. Static IP assignment (via /etc/network/interfaces or with "ip addr add/ip route add") succeeds, but router is unreachable for ping ("Destination Host Unreachable"). I've ruled out hardware failure: Inserting the same cable into laptop produc…

Hi, this is a problem that has persisted on my Orange Pi H2+ Board (running Armbian) for quite some time now. At one stage I thought I had resolved the issue, but now since an update to some unrelated software, said software no longer works. I have tracked this back to the locale settings, which, for all intents and purposes, don't exist. I have tried a variety of fixes, such as trying to set Locale using the armbian-config , but Locale remains adamantly blank. I can SSH into the board (which is where I ran the arm config program, as well as the following commands). I tried dpkg-reconfigure locales but I only get told the following: pe…

How should I use uart to view the system boot log? The kernel failed to boot and I would like to see the error log.

One of my students told me Armbian no longer accepts donations. Indeed, I see a 'Subscriptions' section, but no longer a Donations link. It's been a while since I looked. When 'subscribing' I guess one could uncheck the automatic renewal, but would that cause trouble for Armbian expecting continuing income? Or should one make the subscription and then cancel? I always encourage my students to support Armbian. I have no clue how many actually have, but feedback is that they would like to make a one-time donation and not a 'subscription.' I dig the subscription idea, but I think Armbian should also have a one time donation link even if it only gets …

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, Using the last image for cubox-i (bookworn) , I m unable to get an access to internet using the default interface. eth0 is détected but non functionnal, no eth1 card and no wifi card detected This is a known problem : Does someone has a recent kernel for this device ?
