Hi, I'm searching a way to be able to upgrade System/Firmware using a cron job. Is there a way to have a non interactive command ? In this sample, process is blocked by apt, because of frontend (I am using unattended-upgrade to maintain the up-to-date).

Hi, Recently I generated a U-boot with SPL for an A20 OrangePi board but couldn't get it to boot. I've tried to debug this and the best I could do is find the SPL hangs/waits in a function called dread. The last display is "Trying to boot from MMC1". The U-boot version is 2021.10-rc3 from the denx.de site. After I overwrote the SPL on the SD-card with an older SPL everything is fine. I've tried changing various config options but just can't get the new SPL to work. Has anybody made a U-boot from this latest release and got the SPL to work ? Or can anybody tell me the .config settings used when building the Armbian version so I can compare them to mine …

I have orangepi plus2e, 32 bit and tor does not seem to work on a 32 bit board. I see orangepi now sells 64 bit boards. My sole purpose is to use Tor on orangepi and will buy whatever 64bit OP board I need. But I first want to make sure I am correct in that tor will work with OP4.

Problem I created a Bridge Access Point using Orange Pi Zero 3 with the Ubuntu OS. However, after going through a fairly lengthy configuration, there is an issue when trying to connect to my Orange Pi Zero 3 Access Point. The problem is: it gets stuck at 'authenticate,' and there is no pop-up to enter the password on my smartphone.

What are the commands to upgrade armbian server Debian GNU / Linux 8 (jessie) 3.4.112-sun8i, to the current version 3.4.113? Thank you

I am a beginner here and wanted to install Armbian onto my MXIII android box. This was my conversation with ChatGPT.

Hello! Why if the device boots without eth0 physical link connection, and than when physical link is established, device do not get dhcp metric automatically, and network services needs to be restarted?

Hi I'm trying to use OpiZero with a relais module. I noticed, during the boot the pins I tried (12 and 11, physical 3 resp 5) go high, which makes impossible to manage the relais module. Is it a HW/SW bug or limitation or something what can be configured somehow. I would expect the level to be "nothing" ;-) Thanks Chris

Hi!, i got some issue with armbian version 20.11. The problem is similar to https://forum.armbian.com/topic/2076-a20-cubieboard-2/ . I tried to blacklist the ir, too. But it do not fix my problem, because there were changes at the commands to blacklist the ir. But also i am not 100% sure that it is the ir, because the prompt shows me the stacks and pointed at the smbd PID (at the appendix - fotos). (Sorry for the bad foto quality!) I appreciate your help!

Hi im having problems when booting armbian on my OPI5P it is just blinking green and not showing a picture. I am using this version of Armbian: Armbian_25.5.1_Orangepi5-plus_noble_current_6.12.28_gnome_desktop.img and I have tried it on all boot media i have available (NVME, USB and SD card) but none worked.

Hi, I just got my Orange Pi Zero for a Pihole. Running with a quality PSU and a SanDisk Ultra 16GB A1 card. Everything went perfectly fine, Pihole is the DNS for LAN, while my router handles WAN DNS (DNS over TLS with Cloudflare). I'm concerned a little bit about logging. What do you recommend to keep the sd card safe. I think Pihole is logging to /var/log/ whete running for less than 24 hours I have pihole.log 3MB size, with pihole.log.1 around 2MB. Is there a way to use log2ram for this or a good practice of log rotation, writing to RAM, etc? Your help is welcome!

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.

Hi, first post here and it's a question. I have searched on here and generally on the 'net with no luck. I have a N2+ in a KKSB case, I'm trying to get the power button working.

Hi, I asked earlier about getting armbian running on a particular RK3399 system-on-module, but I wanted to try a different angle now: is there an RK3399 SoM that currently runs armbian well? For example, this one claims to: http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/SOM-RK3399v2 . Has anybody here actually used that board with armbian? I'm more inclined to believe you guys than the people selling the board... George

Hi everybody, My question is about stop a running program with C. I have written a c code to start program with system() function in orange pi zero. I am starting RTKLIB software, which is STR2STR and when my code starts the software with command str2str -in serial://ttyS1:115200 -out serial:ttyS2:115200, I can stop it with CTRL^C but I want to stop it from my software. When I got a TCP pocket containing a exit status word. It should stop the STR2STR software. I am not very good at linux. How can I do that? Thanks

I'm having an aggressive memory leak issue I can't place: Within 5 minutes the 4GB are full. htop and top don't show a massive program growing unbouded. `df` doesn't show a tmpfs that is too large.

Dear members of the forums. I am shopping for a new single board computer, already have a few manufacturers, but I am not sure yet. Couple years ago I bought BPI-M2U from Sinvoip, and I regretted that soon. Sinvoip was not providing good documentation nor open source contributions of drivers. So to avoid the same situation, I'd like to ask which manufacturers are co-share, contribute to open source and don't sell boards with schematic errors? Orange Pi (4) Khadas (Vim3) Friendly Elec (m4) Odroid (N2) Thank you in advance and sorry if this is not the right forum.

Are there any plans to add support for the MCP7940 real-time clock? It's much cheaper than the DS1307 and mostly compatible. The biggest difference is Reg0b7 which is "Clock-Halt" in the 1307 but "STart" in the 7940. The 7940 also has some extra register bits like OSCEN which are default 0 in the 1307. I tried naively enabling the rtc-ds1307 module and it didn't work. An actual DS1307 chip worked immediately (just hot-plugging the break-out boards while executing "hwclock -rf /dev/rtc1"). The actual error I get is: "Timed out while waiting for the time to change", "The Hardware Clock registers contain values that are either invalid (e.g. 50th day o…

Hi all I would like to start this topic to discuss on the best approach for having some degree of data integrity using ARM SBC (aarch64 SoC in primis) My goal is to set a big archive, I have in program to build 5x8TB HD, scheme TBD The goal is to have at least one hard drive failure tolerance, it is acceptable that some data is lost during rebuild, since the main goal of the archive is to store picture and video, so it is tolerable that few pictures or video get corrupted, but the rebuild shall not stop in this case The write performances are not so important, but read performances shall sustain some video streaming, roughly at least 25 Mbytes/s M…

Hello, I have been trying to get back to a working nanopc-t4. I'm traveling with an almost worthless computer since I accidently let armbian update itself. The next few days I have access to a TV. To get my screen to work I convert the - media - version to support dtb overlays, the build the driver and overlay. This needs the build in the modules to be present. Using uname -r gives me this path. usr/lib/modules/6.2.0-rc8-media/build I can install Linux headers through armbian-config. That does nothing for allowing make in the modules which is what I need. What am I missing and how do I get…

Good day. Yesterday I downloaded the latest Armbian version for the ASUS Tinker Board S and flashed the built-in eMMC (with Etcher Balena).

Ist das Problem behebbar? Is the problem fixable? The USB stick of a wireless mouse is recognized and also connects to the conputermouse.

Hi, When I format my hard drive and I want to make partitions, just / for the system and Swap partition, Gparted only allows me to make one, saying I only can make one primary partition, so I make one for / (in this step extended and logical options are disabled) Then I want to use the free space for swap and all options are disabled, not even logical or extended partition options. and from the beginning I only can chose logical partition because extended is disabled. So it looks Gparted only allows me to use the entire disk as logical partition. If I use another app in windows to make those partitions then in linux Gparted says there is one error and it can't …

Hi all, I've installed ISPConfig by the "armbian-config" menu I created several sites on my web server installed in debian Buster and ISPConfig 3.1.15p3.

I'm running octoprint on my OPI PC and I'd like to buy some cheap usb camera for printing time lapses and visual inspection. FHD resolution is sufficient. As far as I can see, octoprint uses mjpg-streamer. Does someone use such camera? Is H3 capable of process FHD videos at 30fps?

Hi, I'm trying to boot a legacy 3.4 kernel using the current Armbian U-Boot but progress stops after U-Boot starts the kernel. The last line displayed is "Starting kernel ...". I believe the kernel (uImage) is being loaded at 0x48000000 and the script.bin is being loaded at 0x43000000. These values seem correct to me. Does anybody know if booting these old kernels is still supported with newer U-Boot ? I'd like to have one U-Boot that can handle both old and new. Thanks, Steven

I realize the A10-OlinuXino-Lime has been EOL for Armbian for some time now; however, I am curious if kernel support for GPIO functionality is available on the latest available for Armbian Xenial (kernel 3.4). If it is a mainline kernel this may explain why the GPIOs are not available for use.

Having downloaded the Armbian OS for my Cubox-i, I am using Gparted on MXLinux to prepare my 32Gb microUSB card for installing the extracted image. My initial problem is that I have to select the partition table type to install, from a list with msdos being the default. Is msdos the correct type or should I use one of the others offered (sun, gpt, bsd, dvh, aix, loop, pc98, amiga, atari, mac) Once that is done, what filesystem should I use to create the new partition as there are so many choices available. I appreciate any help you can provide to get me going. Thanks Ashdown

Hello Everyone! I'm currently working on a nano pi m4b with a rockchip 3399 processor on it.

Dear Members, I want to play around with docker on my NanoPI R4S, and while doing that I don't want to kill my micro SD card. For this reason I connected a USB SSD, formatted it with ext4 and mounted it onto /data.

However, when I tried to power on again, the NanoPi went into a reboot loop. Armbian will not boot without t…

Hello everyone Now I have finished compiling armbian once and want to check and change the device tree of uboot, but I don't know where to download it, only see the kernel source code in cache/source, so I want to ask

Hi all, I have just deployed the 5.2 Armbian version (desktop) on my OrangePiLite but the first boot seems to cause issues - I have an USB mouse and keyboard connected but during the bootprocess I receive the messages: usb 7-1: new low-speed USB device number xx using sunxi-ohci generic-usb 0003:....... input,hidraw-: USB HID v1.11 Mouse on usb-sunxi-ohci-1/input0 However, these messages just repeat and are counting. I can not do anything else, this step comes up after I have created a new user and assigned a new password. Thanks for help and advice.

It says 4.13.x in nightly kernel builds but i cant still enable g_hid. In this link it says 4.12 would bring usb otg support for h3 boards. Am i wrong? If its still not supported and wont get implemented soon what should i do to implement it? I also read that g_hid should work in legacy kernel but it didnt work with lastest legacy kernel either. I am trying to get it working for a few weeks now my whole project is stopped because of this. Its would bring me joy if i could get it working. Thank you

I downloaded image from https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-pc-plus. It marked as STABLE and has kernel 4.14.65. Package linux-image-next-sunxi version 5.59. I'm trying to install kernel headers but in repository no package linux-headers-next-sunxi. And also in repository no package linux-image-next-sunxi (it installed in downloaded image) so it is not possible update other orangepi to latest kernel.

Hi guys, my name is Yawn I recently tried to use vlc and more specificly the RTSP flux, but it return an error when connecting "Vlc is unable to open the MRL ...". This error dont come of my network, I can't ping the server of the rstp stream, on the second hand, it perfectly work on another pc. Well I think it come from armbian . Any suggestion would be appreciated Thanks in advance

Hi, My Armbian Debian Buster install has the package "armbian-firmware" installed at version 19.11.3.346. Since a few days/weeks, the package is no longer available on the APT repository. I couldn't find a reference in the documentation/forum about its removal, so I don't know if its absence is intentional or due to a bug. If intentional, I should probably install the regular linux-firmware packages from Debian instead? Or will the armbian-firmware package return? # cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list deb https://apt.armbian.com buster main buster-utils # apt clean # apt update Hit:1 http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian buster InRelease Hi…

Hey guys, I see the HDMI audio is not supported in the status matrix. Do you know what is missing exactly? I read it predepends on DRM driver, do you know which part is missing? I read in #linux-sunxi IRC history that there are some patches for HDMI audio for H3 H6 H64. What about A20 ? Is there any patches available?

I downloaded the Armbian Buster image from the downloads section of armbian.com and flashed the image to an sd card, as instructed. I have installed sddm, gnome, etc in addition to running apt update & apt upgrade and creating a new user. The system looks good and I planned on using nand-sata-install to write the OS to my emmc .. according to everything I have found, executing nand-sata-install from the root prompt gives a screen that has 3 choices, one of which is "Boot from emmc; system on emmc" Instead, this is what I get: 1 Boot from SD - system on SATA, eMMC or NVMe 5 Install/Update the Bootloader on SD/eMMC I just wa…

Hello, I want to transfer .img files to bananapi. These weight gigabytes. I notice the eth0 interface was wrongly set up to 100Mbp/s I used ethtool to set it up correctly pi@Liberty:~$ sudo ethtool eth0 | grep -i speed Speed: 100Mb/s sudo ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on speed 1000 duplex full pi@Liberty:~$ sudo ethtool eth0 | grep -i speed Speed: 1000Mb/s Now I thought the sftp limitation of 1Mb/s was over, it is not. Are there ucap / bandwith limitation settings in Armbian? if so how to remove it? Thanks, SoSie

Hello! I was very happy, when the first OrangePI came out and had HDMI and VGA output. With this device it was possible to use the board with two monitors (mirror desktop and expand desktop) I use this board as thin-client in our office - connecting to windows server via rdesktop. Another way we use the boared is working with one monitor via rdesktop and running with the other Monitor or TV-Set a webpage witch is displaying infos. It is running perfect and we can save money because there is very low energy consumation and the OPIs are cheap. I think this kind of using the OPI wourd have good future. Now this board is no more availabe. I am not a tec…

The devil is in the details. Armbian was partially working so I started over to study the process more closely ! It seems Geek Buying is NOT the same Wifi as WiFi Chip: RTL8189 on Gear Best in the X96 Mini. iComm SV8051P is not working with Linux and actually not very good on Android 7.1.2 as delivered. HDMI Audio on 5.4 is WIP as Linux Meson discloses.

Hi, I have this great tiny SBC without being used because I could not get its fan temperature dependent on dietpi and really did not liked the stock image, so I have been looking for something more interesting. After installing lm-sensors, I ran sensors-detect as root and no sensors were found. I know I saw a temperature readout (calculated?) somewhere and I wonder if whether is possible to have a PWM control of the fan as the stock image does. All help and suggestions are much appreciated. Cheers, Gus

Hello everyone, I am currently experiencing a network configuration problem. This concerns a project based on an ODROID C2 board with a Linux Debian 9 stretch 5.73 / Kernel 3.16.57 the board is equipped with a USB 3.0 hub + RJ45 powered. The ultimate goal is to have the WAN on eth0 in DHCP (odroid LAN) an eth1 LAN in static (HUB LAN) A wifi key RALINK RT5572 in access point with a static ip, hosting the bridge of the eth0 if necessary. What works so far: Everything is "ok" on boot, however it was necessary to disable some services at startup, and some behavior is strange: Services disabled: Wpasupplicant (disabled and hidden) otherwise impossibl…

I just installed the official Armbian desktop image on my Orange Pi RV2. When I check with top or cat /proc/cpuinfo, the CPU frequency is stuck at 1.0 GHz all the time. How can I make it actually reach the full 1.5 GHz? Do I need to change some config file or install extra drivers?

I've got an Olimex A20-LIME2 and their 3.4" LCD with touchscreen. While they do work together using their built A20-OLinuXino-buster image, I would much rather use Armbian on this board. I've been attempting to use their lime2-lcd-olinuxino-4.3ts overlay (present commit: af1d92c). What I'm doing is, after cloning that repo to the Lime2, compile all supplied overlays with (because that's quick & easy): make all … then install the same overlay (by name) that works in OLinuXino with: sudo armbian-add-overlay sun7i-a20/A20-OLinuXino-Lime2/lime2-lcd-olinuxino-4.3ts.dts But on reboot, it fails with: Found mainline kernel configuration 47918 b…

Hi, I need linux headers included in the distribution to install a given software because it requires a kernel modification. It seems that some distributions contain linux headers and some do not. Is there a way to determine whether a distribution has those headers other than installing and trying it out. I have an Orange pi + 2. cheers Martin

I have been trying to get a 7" waveshare touchscreen to work with the orange pi zero2. I've checked that the touchscreen isn't faulty by using with a raspberry pi. I also checked that the output from the orange pi is working by using my computer monitor. It just doesn't want to output to the touchscreen (hdmi).There seems to be some thin grey horizontal lines. I do get a flicker at startup of the orange pi, but that is about it. Any idea's? I'm new to armbian, so if you have an idea, please list me some steps or point me to some documentation to help. I appreciate the help.

Hey everyone, I'm a noob in SBCs in general but I recently bought an Orange Pi One along with a 3.5inch HDMI-compatible MPI3508 display to work with it. Right now, I still can't seem to make the tft display work with the board but after some hours, I came across a thread that led me to this DTC overlay that I can use for my display. (https://github.com/jonathan-gatard/ili9486-xpt2046) I tried to download the .dtc file and compiled it as instructed in the README file, but `armbian-add-overlay ...` gives me an error: Error: dtc does not support compiling overlays I tried updating my dtc to the latest version like other users recommended but it still didn…

Hi folks, I'm new to the Armbian project. I have an old board (pcduino3nano) that I never managed to get working because I found the built in OS to be lacking and the general linksprite environment poor as compared to that of the RaspberryPi. So I put the pcduino away for awhile and never really got anywhere with it, but recently decided to give it a go again. I found two projects that claim to "officially" support this board (either current or past). Armbian and Fedora for Arm. Because Armbian has EOSd the pcduino family of boards I started with the Fedora project and found that it worked but only as a server/cli the GUI no matter which deskto…

I'm running Armbian buster on an Orange Pi PC plus single board computer. In Armbian Stretch I used to be able to use the analogue output in stereo mode so I could use this sbc as a music player, but after upgrading to Buster pavucontrol only gives me the following option for analogue sound output (the other Built-in audio source is HDMI audio wich works fine in stereo mode but I'm not using): I would highly appreciate if someone could help me fix this issue. I have already tried reinstalling pulseaudio and copying the configuration files from the previous Stretch installation, but didn't have any luck with that.

Hi guys, I try to reinstall my tvheadend, but unfortunately it always tells me suddenly some depencies which I can't solve. libhdhomerun4 (>= 20200521) But it's installed and in Buster stable only available: libhdhomerun4:armhf (20180327-1) When i try to install it manuelly, then there is the next depency to libc-bin and so on... a never ending story. Actually tvheadend worked already quite well, but suddenly it stopped working. So I thought maybe it's the best idea to reinstall tvheadend. And now there is even bigger trouble.

I installed the Armbian desktop environment via armbian-config. Then I disabled it, and I saw that many of the packages were uninstalled by my next "apt upgrade". I want to install them again, but armbian-config only lets me "enable" or "disable" the Desktop now. It won't install anything anymore. So my question is how do I redo what armbian-config did during the first time, to reinstall all Armbian desktop files?

Hi! I want to write SPI slave custom driver for H3. For this I need to cut off existing SPI Master driver. I did this during configuring Armbian 3.4.112 in image build process. But then I make apt update/upgrade and apt installs new image 3.4.113 with SPI master driver enabled. How could I prevent this?

I am aware that the Raspberry Pi 1, 2,3 can transmit Radio waves on GPIO pin 4 and 18. There are even special skins that filter the output. " Previously we posted about the Raspberry Pi’s ability to modulate one of its pins to produce FM transmissions with PiFM. A developer (F5OEO) has recently expanded on this idea, and now the Raspberry Pi is capable of modulating and transmitting FM, AM, SSB, SSTV and FSQ signals anywhere between 130 kHz to 750 MHz. To transmit with the Raspberry Pi all you need to do is plug in a wire antenna to Pin 12 (GPIO 18) on the GPIO port and run the PiTx software by piping in an audio file or image for SSTV. " …

Hi, I setup a Radxa Zero 2 last week with Klipper, a 3d printing firmware. Over the past few months, I've transitioned my printer to using canbus. I'm finding the setup process slightly different with Armbian than it was on RpiOS, and I'd appreciate feedback or pointers that could help me better understand networking in Armbian. I use a usb canbus adapter. In the past, I've configured it using the standard Klipper config written to `/etc/network/interfaces.d/can0`: allow-hotplug can0 iface can0 can static bitrate 1000000 up ifconfig $IFACE txqueuelen 1024 So, when I went to setup the Radxa, I did what I've always done, and i…
