Good evening! Is there anyone experience in installing the drivers for this device? The official website has the driver vga2usb-3.30.2.10-raspbian-4.4.11-v7+-arm.deb which apparently is rigidly attached to the core. Does anyone have any ideas on installation?

I was search dhcp packet. using the wireshark program. but i was find that dhcp packet send to the random cycle(discover,renewal). I want to know the random time of dhcp packet. it's random time that random function in the source code.

Hi, Now that I have my NanoPC-T4 working with hardware 3D acceleration, 1080p video playback, full development environment on NVMe, Think it's time for a backup. Has anyone found a usefull utility ? Or should I just use dd to dump the eMMC partions to image files on a USB attached drive and rsync to backup the NVMe the the same ? I'd imagine to restore just boot from an install image, don't install, just dd the images to their repective eMMC partitions and rysnc to restore. Has anyone had to restore a board and how well did your solution work for you ?

Hey guys, one of my 2x OPI3 Allwinner H6 board wont boot from the micro SD card. That rather decrease me to a nowinner instead of an allwinner. But joking apart The red LED over the SD card is enlighted when all cables like keyboard, mouse, HDMI and ethernet are cable-connected. The red LED from the power is only a few seconds red and is switching to green, then the board boots to the pre installed Android.7 OS. The SD card will not be detected. When Android is up, there is a point called "local" at the bottom of the screen When I open "local" I can see "Local Memory" that possibly should be the SD card, Network Neighborhood (CIFS…

Most of the time our Arm computer does nothing and the CPU is around 40º, and therefore no fan is needed. But sometimes they work a lot and the fan is really necessary. So I wonder if a 5V fan connected to the gpio pins can be used and that the same board sends power to the fan when for example the CPU exceeds 60 °. And below 60º the orangepi that cuts the current to the fan. Can it be done without external components?

Hello, I will use the integrated CAN-Controller with the actual version of Armbian Bionic (or Buster) on the BananaPi-M1 Actually it is not possible to activate the CAN-Bus. I had activate the CAN in the armbian-config. After a reboot I the CAN0 is not integrate in the list from "ifconfig -a". What are the steps to activate the CAN-Bus on the BananaPi M1. Many thanks, André

Basically my box is a h96 pro + (amlogic s912) and I'm trying to run prime video / netflix, but it is not possible since it is only possible to extract widevine in the arm-32bits version. I searched here on the forum and found nothing about it, so I ask for help.

Hi, I've been trying to compile a c program with GCC and have been unable to move past various errors related to file functions that should be declared in fs.h I have installed (several times!) linux-headers-5.7.15-sunxi, made scripts, pointed the make file to ARCH=arm (not really necessary I know) and KSRC=/usr/src/linux-headers-5.7.15-sunxi/. In the fs header in /usr/src/linux-headers-5.7.15-sunxi/linux/ looks correct and includes references to the functions I require (filp_open(), filp_close(), kernel_write()) but the compiler simply refuses to accept that these functions are declared. It appears to still be using the original headers in /usr/incl…

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.

How do you un-suspend armbian? I typed many buttons on keyboard.

Hey, So basically as the title says. If i install the CLI version of armbian on the OPI 3 lts it works fine for a while but than randomly starts locking up and saying (Look attached image) I don't know why this is happening. Ive also tried the one with a desktop and i didn't seem to get that error ever?

A problem I'm having with my fresh install of Armbian Bionic on my Libre Renegade board is that I cannot use the user login due to read-only file system warnings. Root login does allow more freedom, but comes with its own drawbacks. Prior to writing Armbian to the chip from Windows, I formatted the chip exFAT. I've reinstalled Armbian mutiple times on multiple chips, but even the recommended A1 SD doesn't work. I'm not sure where the problem lies. Is this strictly a hardware issue? Is there any non-extensive ways to workaround or fix the problem in the terminal? I'm not too familiar with Linux terminology, but can figure out common terms. I can supply more in…

Hi everybody, I have OrangePi PC Plus board, which has EMMC. I downloaded image from armbian website, as I want to instll armbian image to EMMC via USB with PhoenixSuit instead of instll_to_emmc command, but it failed. PhoenixSuit reported that it couldn't recognize the firmware. Is there any tools to insall Linux-like firmware to EMMC ? Thank you very much.

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.

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

I'm testing out the Orange Pi 3 Ubuntu 18.04 image (Link: https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-3/), and I'm trying to play some sound using a USB adapter (Link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000R5NJD8/). I originally posted this as a question on Ask Ubuntu (link: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1163369/sound-only-1-speaker-is-working), but I was advised to file a bug report about the issue. I'm acutely aware that this post belongs in the Allwinner H6 forum (Link: https://forum.armbian.com/forum/18-allwinner-h6/), but it would appear that there are restrictions in place to prevent me from posting there.

On my odroidxu4 with armbian stretch, I had hard time rebooting without having one disk of the 4-drives RAID5 lvm device being kick out of the array on next boot.

Hi, Need to interface a multichannel codec to an OPiPC, having 8 channels out and 6 channels in. So trying to find any example of an overlay for H3 with TDM usage on simple-audio-card giving more than 2 channels in/out.

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

Hello, I installed Retroarch from the repos, tried to install a "core" from the Retroarch updater but no cores were available. I searched about that if the installed version is too old no cores will be available, so I added the Retroarch ppa and installed the newest version, but got the same problem. Does Retroarch work under Armbian? Do I need to manually install "core" binaries? If so, where can I get them? Thanks.

On Armbian Buster, rockchip (rock64), kernel 5.16.69. This was also happening on the latest backported version of 5.10, I think 5.10.72? I tried upgrading to fix it to no avail.

Hello all, earlier I booted up the board (Radxa Dragon Q8B) when it prompted to reboot & update and I allowed it. The update took uncharacteristically long. The OS is running off an SD card. There is no SSD or eMMC installed. Turns out it wiped the install clean. There was about 20 GB of free space prior to the update, now there's 46 GB. For some reason the user itself and the wifi login are still there, but everything in the home directory is gone. Installed applications and the driver for the wireless card are gone. Chrome add-ons are still there, but reset. The Downloads folder now has Armbian_26.8.1_Radxa-dragon-q8b_resolute_vendor_7.0…

At some moment "no signal" is coming from HDMI (or maybe I should say "nothing is coming" ). It is on my Orange Pi PC.

So...I'm trying to find the linux headers for my Banana Pi M1, so I can install Wireguard on it. But seems there's no sanxi headers? Also...no headers for that kernel whatsoever. The generic ones stop at 4.18 then jump to 5.0. Then there's a bunch of raspi and raspi2 headers, and then the misterious to me linux-headers-edge-sunxi 21.05.6, which I guess won't work on mine. Where should I get headers for my Banana Pi? Also just in case, I'm a bit worried about doing something too drastic, since this little thingy is located in another continent. Thanks!

Hi, Working on a project that will manage and monitor batteries from a solar installation and wanting to see how low I can reduce its power consumption.

A coworker of mine gave me a 5 inch hdmi touchscreen (waveshare knockoff). Getting hdmi to work properly on my orangepi pc was done in a few minutes. But the touchscreen drives me nuts. It came with a xpt2046 so I loaded the ads7846 driver I compiled from fbtft. No error messages, but also no response to a touch. It took me a week to finally realize that not the wiring, the driver or Armbian is was the problem, but the touch digitizer was. So I ordered a new one on my favorite Chinese site and installed it on the lcd. Finally I got a response to touching the screen, but I was not able to calibrate it with xinput_calibrator. After manually calibrating it …

Hi there. I have some audio project on different SOM/SOC boards, now my task is to bring an i2s DAC on RK3399. I use external high-quality clock for i2s and need to make the Rockchip the masterclock slave. This is the case where I find no tail to pull yet, due to VERY cumbersome device tree, poorly documented and poorly explored. For instance, the CPU datasheet says that I2S_MCLK is output only, whilst I could find the opposite in the TRM. Moreover, the clock tree explained there, says that I can use CLKIN_I2S not only for i2s interfaces, but for spdif also! (Also there is explained some "bitclock slave mode", it's even implemented in the DAI driver,…

Hello everyone. I have a custom board with A20 SoC running Buster kernel version 5. Configured device tree, everything works. My problem is that the board uses I2C4 bus to drive CSI1 camera and that I2C4 bus seems to be reserved for HDMI. i2cdetect -l gives i2c-0, i2c-1, i2c-2, i2c-3 and sunxi-hdmi-i2c adapter. Of course, trying to access sunxi-hdmi-i2c adapter from code (c++) or a tool (v4l2-ctl) results in an error as resource is busy. As I don't use HDMI at all and I2C2 bus is free, my question is how can I set dummy I2C2 bus to be assigned to HDMI or somehow release I2C4 bus so it's accessible by camera driver. Removing or disabling HDMI from…

Hi there, I have too many SBCs running Armbian with very recent kernels (even two Raspberry Pi 3B), and I love the consistency of my herd. I will change job next month, and I will at last be able to have a Linux machine as my daily driver... The thing is, I will need Windows too for video editing so that I need to keep it available when needed. I was thinking of Manjaro or Linux Mint for the freshness of their kernels (as the laptop hardware is pretty recent), but I gave a try yesterday at Armbian on x86_64, and it went almost well. I did not go as well as @NicoD's attempt in his latest video, but it is encouraging anyhow. So... Is there anything like…

Hello, This may seem simple for you, and I feel stupid for asking, but I'm not sure how to install the driver provided by KeeTouch, the touch screen provider, on my OrangePi One. This is the driver provided, but there is no instruction on how to install it. https://keetouch.eu/files/drivers/saw/linux/linuxupdd4.1.11.tgz The screen is a keetouch kot-170c-us-sa4bcw accoustic wave touch screen, connected by USB for the touch screen and HDMI to DVI to the OrangePi. The OrangePi One (H3) is on Armbian 22.05 Jammy XFCE and has nothing installed yet, the touch screen is first order of buisness. I have searched for a whil…

Hi, My system has install and setting a lot, wan to read back all of from sd(8GB) card. Actually system capacity around 2GB, using windisk32 to backup image still 8GB So there any way to do image backup and capacity around 2GB. thanks

i tried out tried out armbian on orangepi one allwinner h3, just like to say thanks the desktop and all looks really nice after it boot up successfully, chromium and all pre-installed in the ubuntu xenial distribution https://dl.armbian.com/orangepione/ oh yes, i noted that the Ubuntu Xenial distribution requires one to 'scroll down' right below on the page for the board https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-one/ Is this an 'old' distribution? i noted that it is updated pretty recently are there 'desktop' versions for debian stretch? the other thing is i noted the allwinner h3 cpu runs hot literally to even touch, i may try to get a h…

hello, i just installed Armbian for Odroid C2. i have a simple script located at /home/tung/pixx.sh the script is "feh --quiet --fullscreen --borderless --hide-pointer --randomize --slideshow-delay 30 /media/odroid/38C1-602E/*" so it just opens my usb drive and starts a slideshow. nothing fancy. i have tried rc.local and cron as seen here but my script refuses to auto run when i boot up https://linuxtechlab.com/executing-commands-scripts-at-reboot/ if i manually type in terminal: sh /home/tung/pixx.sh then it works! i have same issue with Ubuntu Mate and Diet OS. so at least i am consistent with my mistakes :-D please advi…

Hello, For a custom board using the H5 or H3 SoC, i would like to make the Calibration of the DDR3 chip. I think that the available information is very little. I will report here the steps I am taking. Anyway, I would greatly appreciate any information that could be provided to me. Thanks in advance

Hello every body, I need some help, I can't install Citadel mail server on my Nanopi duo2 board. Previously i try to install ISPconfig mail server on default armbian-config but not work, then i try Citadel because I already have a little familiarity with this program. After write IOS on mem card and updade/upgrade command I followed the guidelines of the Citadel website which is to execute the following commands: "curl http://easyinstall.citadel.org/install | bash", but after downloading and starting the installation, many error messages appear due to lack of space. Below is some information from my system: IOS version: Armbian_20.05.4_Nanopiduo2_focal_current_5…

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

I'm trying to update in Htoo_Armbian and being prompted for my [sudo] password. I almost always use one password for all my Linux devices, so I may have set up a password during initial install of Armbian--don't recall. How do I recover my password, enter a new one w/o reinstalling the whole OS?

Well, I just bought a CloudShell direct from HarkKernel in South Korea. It was delivered and assembled. However, the LCD display - a major selling point - is non-functional. It appears to require a kernel module specific to the odroid xu4 specific kernel, that isn't available in the stock kernel. I am attempting to compile a 4.x.y kernel from hardkernel sources. So far, 4.14 doesn't appear to work. I want to run Open Media Vault 6, but currently, it only supports Armbian Bullseye, not any Ubuntu, etc. Armbian/OMV works for everything except he LCD. I am attempting to remedy the issue, but it will mean downgrading my kernel, which may ca…

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, I need to help for understandable how set right clock hierarchy for i2s bus with external master-clock signal. This mode supported rockchip processors (RK3328, RK3399) but there are very small information how it can do. Today we have out of box in armbian for Nanopi Neo3 working I2S with master-clock from PLL, but I want change master-clock source from PLL to external signal. In souce and clock debugfs I find that I2S1 ("i2s1_pre") can be clocked from 4 sources: clk_i2s1_div, clk_i2s1_frac, clkin_i2s1, xin12m. By default parent for i2s1_pre set to clk_i2s1_div, which have parent cpll. Hence we must change parent for i2s1_pre to clkin_i2s1, but clock clki…

Hi i'm looking for a nice linux ARM distro that i could use as a VM on Apple Silicon (through Parallels Desktop). Is it possible with armbian and if so, any tuts available ?

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…

I am looking to purchase an SBC ideally under $100 to install armbian and develop some hardware projects. I had previously gone for a BpiM5 which also has EMMC but when I came to install software I found there is little support from the makers, installing software is fiddly and the most recent Armbian images for this board were not working. I eventually got this going using Ubuntu Mate. For my next project I would like to change from Amlogic CPU's , use Armbian as the software base and choose a platform which has reasonable up to date support whilst avoiding going for an RPI. Regards

Hi, I'm trying to setup the wifi with the image: Armbian 24.8.1 Bookworm Minimal / IOT But there is no wlan0 on the ip a command. Can you please give me a hint on how to setup the wifi with the bananapi M4 zero? I have also tried the server image debian12 but found the same issue. FYI I tried an image from the BPI M4 zero website: 20240819-Bananapi-Armbian_24.8.0-trunk_Bpi-m4zero_Debian12 And there is wlan0 so I successfully configured the wifi ( but there is no bananapi-config to copy the image to the emmc but that's another story... ) Thanks in advance!

Hi, thanks to this tutorial: I was able to add optical S/PDIF module to my orange pi zero plus 2 h3 - It works But I noticed the the every time when a sound is played it causes the SPDIF output on the OPI to initialise (switch on the red light) which takes about 1-2 seconds, after the sound has finished the SPDIF output goes back to sleep (switch off the red light). As a result on every new audio that is played the first 1-2 second is lost off This is not a problem if I'm listening radio but in case of quick phrases spoken by the synthesizer(my case) this is a real problem. Is there any way to keep S/PDIF …

Hi, I have search in the internet a long time but can't get an answer for: Can I start a Armbian Cubietruck Image on my Ubuntu-Linux (x64) with QEMU?

Hi everybody, I am searching for help with my nvme ssd on my RockPi4 - I am a beginner in linux... I tried several things but now i am stuck...

Iam a newbie to orangepi 3. I never had experience in doing anything in SBC's before. I was trying to learn to create a home NAS with orange pi 3 and open media vault. I was impressed with orange pi as it was cheap and more hardware. Here is what i did which took me days but ended up in nothing 1) Got success with ssh. Dloaded Armbian bullseye mainline image from armbian website. Mounted it to class 10 SD by Etcher. After finishing, no boot drive on sd card. Shows 'SD is corrupted'. I saw in this forum that after mounting, two files such as kernal and boot files should be present for ORPi 3 to boot.https://redirect.armbian.com/orangepi3/Bullseye_current 2)…

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…

Is there a way to skip this phase? Is it possible to force board to boot from SD card again? I have BananaPI M2 Ultra v1.1 board and my goal is to get this little device boot Linux OS from its eMMC storage. So I entered URL https://www.armbian.com/bananapi-m2u/, connected board with keyboard, display and ethernet switch and downloaded image (Bookworm CLI). Then I followed document at https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/ and was able to get my board boot from SD card. Then I made configurations as guided and lastly proceeded installation to eMMC. Then I made poweroff, took SD card out and started board. Boot started nicely but sadly stuck at sta…

Hello, I want to setup a Orange Pi 5 Plus to use a PCIe GPU to run games with. I can see that the GPU card is detected in lspci, but am not sure how to switch to it. I do have multiple old and new cards I can try if needed. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello everyone, I am creating a custom Armbian build for OPI5 && OPI5b. The task is as follows: install several packages in the system and fully configure it. While there are no issues with installing packages and configuring the network, there is a peculiarity with the login and password. Specifically, sometimes after writing the image to the emmc opi5b or SD card, the system allows me to log in with my pre-configured credentials, but other times, when flashing the same image, the system simply rejects my pre-set data and displays the message “Login Incorrect.” How I set the initial settings for the system: In /root there is a file called .not_logged_i…

I don't know precisely when, but in Ubuntu_xenial_next_desktop.7z "chromium-browser --start-maximized" does not start the browser maximized. In previous versions of armbian it works properly.

Hello, I just installed Armbian on my Tinker board. I use the internal wifi and another wifi usb dongle (static ip). The wifi usb receives a name wlx**** in ifconfig and the internal wifi module has wlan0. I want to have wlan1 instead of wlx***. So I checked https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ Tried the option using dev/null and setting the net.ifnames parameter. I tried in /boot/ArmBianEnv.txt to set net.ifnames=0 parameter. Nothing works. Would be happy, if someone knows how to change this on Armbian. Thank you very much

The armbian I am running Welcome to ARMBIAN 5.31 stable Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 4.11.5-sun8i and few other versions that I tried have same issue with accessing GPIO from python as non root, and I, of course, need to access GPIO as non root however I setup permissions for /dev and /sys and whatever udev rules I configure there is some race condition and I can't get access to GPIO as a non root from python typical error is something like: :IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/sys/class/gpio/gpio1/direction' So I solved it by some hack of the OPi.GPIO library and udev rules that are not really feasible "always" so I'm tryin…
