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

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

Hi all. I have a Rockpro64 with u-boot flashed to SPI, and Armbian installed to NVMe drive*. When I use the HDMI port on the Rock to a standard HDMI port on a monitor, everything displays without issue. But recently I tried connecting to a Viewsonic va1655 using the HDMI to mini-HDMI cable, and the monitor displays fine while U-boot is doing its thing. But right before Armbian loads, the Viewsonic monitor flashes yellowish orange and then completely loses the signal. Buuut if I unplug the VS monitor and plug in the other HDMI monitor to the rock, the image is restored and Mr. Tux is patiently waiting for me to enter my password. *I'm not sure if this matters, but I u…

Hi Do anyone know how to disable boot directly Gui ( auto login and start gui ) I m using armbian desktop. Please help. tks

Happy New Year to Everyone, Am I right to assume there is no power management at all when using a SSD on a usb to sata adapter in Linux? I have this crazy plan to salvage a broken laptop and replace the dead motherboard with a sbc and other components to make the laptop useful again and one with better battery life, than 3 hours while building websites it used to give me. When the usb to sata adapter is plugged in alone, it consumes 50ma more which is ok. Add my 120gb ssd and adds another 150ma which I think is normal for the drive when idle but no sata link power management. I tried using powertop, --calibrate then --auto-t…

Armbian Stretch Is there an instruction on getting a graphical user interface on the orange pi one? Thanks.

Getting below error: whereas board is shown connected

I installed remot3.it.deb through terminal, when in run the connectd installer, it asks me to log in, when i log in, it says: API call to https://device.remot3.it/api/project/create failed! If i run this on a Pi running Raspbian, it works fine. Any idea? It seems to be an Armbian issue as it works on other Ubuntu images. Thanks, Matthew

Hi, Initially my Armbian_5.75_Orangepilite_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.19.20 was booting fast.

Is khadas edge supported ?. Once it is in the download section, once it is gone. Not in the archival images?

This message is on-topic, but for an unknown reason, it is not possible for me to create a message in Help wanted. So I post here. I have used Armbian for two years, I think, on several devices, and I have given some money to support it. Thanks for the job. I recently upgraded to the last version with Debian 11. Everything fine but one point which is probably not a bug, that's why I don't post in "bugs". I use Unbound which is the heart of my soft. And I use a python script which is loaded by Unbound. Until now, there was no problem. With the last version, I ran in several read problems. The first reason I found is apparmor, which prevented the script to o…

I do not have petitboot installed. I ran the Armbian buster with OMV5 for over a year. I decided to make a clean install and booted Armbian bullseye 11. I changed hostname and rebooted (curiously reboot doesn't reboot the hc4, why?). I used armbian-config to install OMV. Installation completed, brought me back to armbian-config and prompted to reboot. I hit reboot (then was forced to power cycle as hc4 won't come back to life after a soft-boot?). Note that I was able to power cycle and get a good boot BEFORE omv installed but not after. At that point Odroid hc4 never comes back online. I've been through this 3 times today. I gave it as…

Hi, I have Armbian 23.05.0-trunk Bullseye with Linux 5.4.239-odroidxu4 on my XU4. I recently bought a USB Bluetooth adapter using RTL8761A. But the firmware is not present in rtl_bt. I want the Bluetooth adapter to work for Home Assistant. I am quite new to this stuff, so if you need any additional information i will provide. Thanks in Advance.

Hello Everyone: I am trying to install ARMBIAN on Orange Pi5B's EMMC,but ARMBIAN could not recognize it. According to this article,it should be caused by something wrong in dtb file. Could I fix it by armbian-config's dtc editor?? Thanks anyway!!

Hi! I'm sorry if the answer to my question is already documented somewhere, but I couldn't find it. I am trying to figure out how to build a specific release. My understanding is that you checkout the desired tag of the armbian/build repo and just build it. However, when I do this with v24.2.1 the image that comes out is named 24.5.0-trunk. Changing the version in the VERSION file (by default set to 24.5.0-trunk) changes the name of the output image, but it is not clear to me if that affects other things than just this. So basically, now I am confused which scenario is correct: Is using the armbian/build tag the correct …

Hi I installed following image on Banana pi M5 on emmc. BananaPi does boot up but it shows "PI" username for which I am not able to find password anywhere and also tried ssh into the machine which was also denied.

Unfortunately I was very hasty and in connection to my goal to copy between sdcards I used Paragon disk manager to shrink my original partition. Like I mentioned... bad move.

I can not believe it can be complicated... and again I have no idea what to do? Any help.... /R

Hi, After upgrade from xenial to bionic we found a problem with R1 internal WIFI. First connection to any wireless network with nmtui works wihout problem. But after that if we try to switch to another wireless network it fails. It doesn't even reconnect to the first network ever. If we plug in an external usb wifi adapter(which uses a different driver than the internal wifi driver) it works without problem as expected. What do you think ? Have you experienced the same problem ever ? What is wrong with the internal wifi ? It was working good in xenial. I blacklisted the internal driver and using external wifi adapter for now.

Hi all, I'm experimenting with OPi Zero 2+ and I would like to flash onboard eMMC with a fresh Armbian (from a clean img, not from running system). What I did is booting from SD, downloading an Armbian img and dd'ing it into emmc device file, being sure it would have been enough since is what we do (I think?) when we write img to SD cards. I found out it won't boot unless I manually flash sunxi-spl.bin at 0x2000. What am I missing? Isn't that supposed to be flashed with image? Is dd a proper method to flash a clean image on mmc from a running system? Thank you

Hi, First time poster, so immediately confused with the tags. tag was required but could not find one for Radxa Rock 4se. I want to get the raspberry pi camera working in ubuntu on my rock 4se. I tested with the image radxa provides and the hardware works. Then i switched to the community ubuntu image and it seems i need an overlay to tell the linux device tree that the rpi camera is there. Can anybody help me with this? Thanks!

After a reboot of my cubietruck has the wrong date and time !? 26-Sep-2012 I updated the time with: sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata Select Europe and Berlin but nothing changed.

What is wrong with my cubie? hwclock: select() to /dev/rtc0 to wait for clock tick timed out: No such file or directory ntpq -p: ntpq: read: Connection refused In the moment i have the correct time, becaus i set it manually, but the wrong date :-( Edit: Okay, i do it now that way: date -s "14 Nov 2015 10:58:00" But how can it be that the date and time is wrong after a reboot?

Hey all! I'm wondering if there's a tried and tested method for preparing an armbian system to be made into an SD card image, including: * Clearing the right SSH data * Triggering firstrun to run next time * Shrinking partition * Any other suggestiosn NB : the filesystem for armbian seems to be quite different from raspbian / other. Which makes shrinking the partition from another computer quite confusing (e.g. when mounting a ripped img in ubuntu we just see one full partition across the entire SD card, even if there's lots of free space)

Hello dear developers and visitors to the forum. I have compiled my core for the opi3 board, but I do not know what to do to test my core. There is little information on the u-boot bootloader and I can’t configure it on my kernel, if I replace the vmlinuz-5.4.7-sunxi64 file, the board does not start, u-boot reports that there is no kernel image. I turn to professionals, please teach me how to work with U-Boot.

Hello, initially, I would like to thank the Armbian project for making many of these SBCs that aren't so common usable with such a good distribution. I'm using a Banana Pi M2 Zero, and the manufacturer provided Android image didn't boot at all and I got concerned I had a brick. However, Armbian has multiple images for this board available and, right now, this board is running Armbian 21.08.6 Focal using the kernel Linux 5.10.60-sunxi. The performance difference compared to a Raspberry Pi Zero is dramatic. And it even has a Mali 400! Step by step, I'm getting more features on the board working, either by reading Armbian documentation or user contributions. From…

This is a really weird struggle: I have 2x cubieboard that are exactly identical (same HW, same board revision) including the LAN chip (realtek RTL8201CP). Both boards work fine with an earlier version of Armbian. I learned that there is an (unsupported) Armbian 21.08.1 Bullseye with Linux 5.15.25-sunxi which I installed on both. Behavior however differs with the LAN (eth0) interface. The one board works straight from install with DHCP (default), the 2nd won't work at all. dmesg | grep eth (partially) outputs: sun7i-dwmac 1c50000.ethernet eth0: no phy at addr -1 sun7i-dwmac 1c50000.ethernet eth0: stmmac_open: Cannot attach to PHY (error: -19) …

Hello Armbian Community, As you can see by my post count, I am new to Armbian, but so far have found it to be an amazing resource, and truly appreciate the hard work you all do. Its really impressive, and your knowledge and understanding of SBC’s is incredible. I am attempting to get Armbian working on a custom A64 device that was originally designed to be used as a Point-of-sale machine, that runs Android. I understand I am venturing into uncharted territory here, and this is absolutely not supported, but it’s a fun project and I am learning a ton. I am asking for help, but realize none may be available. Here is the hardware I have in hand. …

My headless Orange Pi Zero Plus was configured to boot from a powered external USB2 drive with 3 partitions, a 48Gb linux partition populated by armbian-config, a 4Gb swap partition and a 800Gb NTFS data partition (shared by Samba). The setup is stable and works beautifully when powered up from the powered off state. The Pi fails to start when I reboot it. I suspect that the USB port or drive or both need some kind of reset when a reboot occurs. Has anybody encountered this problem? Is there a known solution?

Hello! I am new to Armbian, so I need a little help and advice here. Until now, I've been using a Banana Pi M1 with Bananian on it, and running NextCloud as my personal cloud server. Unfortunately, Bananian is dead, so there won't be any updated PHP version ( < 5.6), which are needed for recent NextCloud Version: NC 14 requires PHP 7, but Bananian (Debian 8.11) is stuck at PHP 5.6. Soo sad... That's why I need to switch to Armbian, and as far as I know, this project has no sword named "EOL" hovering above its head — at least not yet. ;) My questions are these: - Which version of Armbian would you recommend running NextClo…

This may not be an 'armbian' thing at all, but if not, maybe I'll get a little direction. My first "image" with armbian I downloaded had some 3.4.x kernel on it. After some learning, I was able to get GPIO to work with it. I had some other limitations though. So, I decided to build my own image (buster) so I could customize it. After booting, I GPIO did not work. I explored this, but was unable to to get it to work. I tried a -legacy version (which was 4.x) but also, GPIO did not work. This is my first sunxi experience. So, I'm not sure of the tricks used to get it to work. Either it's broken, or there are patches/config for the kernel …

I have compiled Armbian buster with Linux 5.4.32-rockchip64 with additional option in RTC clock and enabled DS1307.

Hello, I've copied the Armbian Bionic image onto an SD card (and verified it) and put it into my new Orange Pi Zero LTS 256 MB. I already have experience with Raspberry Pis and Raspbian for a few years, so this isn't entirely new to me. While I was trying to establish a stable network connection (wired and wireless), I misinterpreted some "host not reachable" as "network failed" when instead other issues existed. In the process, I unplugged the power a few times after the device has booted up but wasn't reachable via the network. Only then I connected the serial console and investigated further. There I found out that it wasn't actually booting any…

Hi, I'm doing some small changes to the nanopi-neo-air dtb. I am working from a decompiled dtb file. I would like to work from original patched Armbian dts files to get a better understanding without ploughing through device tree documentation. Where can I get Armbian patched kernel dts files ?

Hello, i recently recieved my orange pi 4 lts and the idea was to use it a both media server and SmartTV features replacement. Sadly, using browsers to play Kinopoisk (russian streaming service) was a flop, no browser i tried can use or implement Wadevine decently. I tried Vivaldi, Firefox and Chromium/ How do you it with Netflix, if you do it at all. Any advice, what can i do?

Hello, Thru various and sundry means, I have acquired this unusual specimen; a ZeroDesktop MiiPC M1140. This was originally intended to be a "family desktop PC" that runs on Android Jelly Bean and was released in 2013. It looks like a TV box had a child with a NUC. The machine runs a Marvell Armada 1500 Plus processor with 1GB of RAM and 4GB of storage. The company, Zerodesktop, ran a Kickstarter campaign to fund producing these - my model is one of the Kickstarter Editions. I know that the Marvell Armada 1500 was used in the Google Chromecast 2, along with a bunch of set top boxes. ZeroDesktop no longer exists as a company, having only produced t…

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

I am testing Armbian 5.14 Debian Jessie desktop version with xfce4 on Orange Pi 2E I guess it would be useful to add "xfce4-xkb-plugin" because Armbian has non English users and switching the keyboard is not intuitive I was reading the pinned topic but already fixed the options provided by http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/998-xfce-in-spanish-or-any-other-language-different-than-english/ Thanks you!

Hello guys! I'm new on the forum and I'll start using Armbian for my Orange boards, I was using Loboris images in Orange Pi Forums but I haven't seen any updates on them, so I decided to use Armbian for my boards. I have tested a little bit and everything works like a charm. Taking into account that I'm not an expert either in Linux or Programming I'd like to have a little board that I purchased one year ago which is the NanoPi board http://www.nanopi.org/NanoPi_Feature.html ,is it possible to port Armbian to that device? I haven't been able to use WiFi on the device or connect it to internet to update packages and so on. I also couldn't finish the "Kernel build" …

Oi, eu sou muito novo para o assunto, mas eu tenho um problema com um pi laranja e eu instalei vários (IMG) e comecei, mas ele caiu e lá no final era como "iniciar o kernel" e ficou congelado então eu instalei outras versões a mesma coisa aconteceu tipo uma interferência de tv e desligada alguém pode me ajudar a instalar o armbian corretamente?

I'm writing a wiegand protocol handler in a Linux Kernel Module for the NanoPi NEO (AllWinner H3). I have the code working, meaning the interrupt handlers for the D0 and D1 pins do in fact get called when I swipe a prox card. However, I'm missing usually about half or more of the 26 bits. The wiegand protocol is 26 pulses, each pulse 50uS wide, and separated by 2000us, so yeah it has to be fast. I've set the debounce value to zero using gpio_set_debounce(), so it's running as quickly as I can make it without patching Linux source. After doing some reading, I think I need to modify the device tree to make the default polling speed for GPIOA pins faster. Or…

Hello, the description of Armbian image for Olimex Teres-1 mentiones that it supports HDMI auto-detect. Which i suppose it means basically HDMI support. However, my HDMI display is not detected at all. No message in journalctl/syslog. xrandr finds only one screen. Does it work for owners of Teres? Just to make sure HW-wise all is OK i tested that with the Olimex provided image v1.5 and the HDMI output works just fine. Thanks

I met 2 issue. 1) All my USB attached device suddenly disappear today. 2) I tried to upload my diagnostic, it kept showing error that I had firewall which I didn't. Anyway I copied to a file. Please kindly help me see why is my USB all undetectable? Also I tried using sudo armbian-config Looking at system and hardware. It is all empty. Dianostic.txt

I have a orange pi one lying around. I need two usb ports. Is it possible to use the otg port as host port? (Need wifi and a webcam) The seach didn't give me an answer... If i post in a wrong section pls. move. Thanks Markus

I'm using Banana Pi M2 Zero with Armbian Debian GNU/Linux 10 (Buster). Compiled the image myself with the latest source code using the armbin/build repository. I want to be able to do serial communication on pins 8 and 10. I'm looking for something to appear at /dev/ttyAMA0, so I can communicate with it. I saw some other forum posts which mentioned it'll happen on /dev/ttyS0 , however even that is not happening. The serial communication is working via FTDI (using the USB side connected to the Banana Pi), which indicates there is no problem with the other device. This is what the configuration looks like using "sudo minicom -s". +…

Hi, A few months back I installed version 5.10 on a cubietruck. After setting everything up I configure the system to boot from SD and have the system on SATA. Everything was fine until yesterday. It looks like my SD card is corrupted. I created a new SD card using version 5.14 and booted, after booting I mounted the SATA drive and everything seems fine on the SATA. The question is how can I boot again from SD and use the existing system on my SATA? I don’t want to have to reinstall/configure everything. Thank you Mike

Hi, I would like to get a Debian Jessie version without systemd. I already tried to reconfigure an armbian image to remove systemd (There are several topics about this like this one or this discussion). This worked for me except for one important thing: initramfs. When I tried to configure and run my system using initramfs, I get always an error and system stop booting. I would like to know if it is possible to configure the build-tool (compile.sh) to directly create a Jessie image without systemd and with sysvinit. Something like this (as described here): preseed/late_command="in-target apt-get install -y sysvinit-core" Is it possible and what part …

So if I wanted to connect from smartphone via 3g to Node-red, Mopidy or Mycroft or other stuff what would be the easiest way to do... I'd require a letsencrypt cert right? So I can https the stuff? And then later no-ip.com? Could someone help me step by step please?

Did someone else notice the the color saturation is to high on HDMI if a Video is played? Test video watch temperature of CPU and add a heatsink! May be the is an option for HDMI to change this? Especially Faces in normal TV shows are far to red. DISPLAY=:0 mpv --vo=vdpau --hwdec=vdpau --hwdec-codecs=all --fs http://ow.ly/10tB0C Olso interesting would be to know how smooth the VIDEO rans is far to slow in ma case.

I've been trying to setup my Orange PI PC to be my file/media server. I used a "HOW-TO" on setting up a static IP address. It seems like it is working for me except I can't seem to connect to the outside world. In the process of setting up my samba server, I have found that I have no internet connection because I can't run "apt-get update" and if I open a browser I can't reach any web-page. Does anyone have a first step or idea to get me setup correctly? Samba post to come in separate thread.

Hello! How to fix hdmi overscan for retarded tv, is it possible? H3 OPi + Armbian Stretch Desktop last night's Nightly I tried setting overscan_x/y in armbianenv.txt and u-boot and a display-mode line including them, didn't work. Does it need extra settings, like disabling edid or some order of settings?

I've noted that 'armbianmonitor -u' will obfuscate some detail such as IPv4 addresses prior to uploading, but it misses similar additional detail: IPv6 addresses, specifically 'global' scope, are left intact. These are on interface configurations and in resolv.conf configurations at least. 'domain' and 'search' directives in resolv.conf are left intact. These can (would) include local domain names, which may be sensitive outside of a given environment. username is exposed in showing group membership. This may be minor but in some cases may be sensitive outside of a given environment, and perhaps can be shown anonymously such as '### Group membership o…

Hey guys, What is in your opinion the best solution to add WIFI/BT capability to a A20 board? Currently I tried to add ESP8266 connected with SDIO. (without much success so far). Then in order to add BT too I am thinking about ESP32 (with ESP-WROOM-32 module). Do you know if there are references of using this ESP32 solution to provide wifi and bt to a allwinner board/armbian ? Also this module have a lot of different interfaces available, which should be prefered? Or alternatively, do you know other armbian supported solution for wifi/bt? Best would be a solution that does not use USB ports as I need them. …

@Igor could you help to check?

Hello everyone I have a problem with icecast because I can't get the let's encrypt ssl certificate to work. I have followed several tutorials online, but in the end they were all the same, so I explain what I am doing, to see if someone tells me where I am wrong. I have created a script to concatenate certificates, change ownership and permissions, so that I can run it with cron along with the let's encrypt certbot. Here the script ---------------------- #!/bin/bash cat /etc/letsencrypt/live/radio.example.org/cert.pem \ /etc/letsencrypt/live/radio.example.org/privkey.pem \ > /usr/share/icecast2/icecast.pem chown icecast2.icecast /usr/s…

hello everyone, I would like to know if it is possible to remove support for video cameras and wi-fi from the operating system so that they do not load at startup and reprogram these connectors to suit your needs? Thank you in advance for your answer

Hi, I'm trying to generate a U-Boot for my OrangePi Plus board (H3). I'm using the Denx 2021.10 release and have tried the standard defconfig for this board and also variations of this config. Starting the kernel is fine but the kernel crashes/hangs when starting if I'm using HYP (nonsec) mode. Starting in sec mode works but this only enables one of the four CPU cores. The kernel crash/hang occurs while executing "udevadm trigger --action=add" but I can't determine exactly what is being enabled when the error occurs. Trying different kernels (including the Armbian 5.10 version) show no difference. The Armbian U-Boot (2021-10 dated August 2…

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

Hi. I need the serial number of the CPU of the orange Pi boards. I see it is in the file /proc/cpuinfo I need another place that is not file based as the cpuinfo file can be spoofed. Is there a way to read it directly from a register?

From the posts that I've read i think i have made the terrible mistake of updating the software via command. It was kinda slow so I did reboot command and the board since than won't start. I've bought the uart adapter and the boot process is as follows: https://pastebin.com/Pz1xb5jc Can i get support?

Hi I had bought a NanoPi R4S with the goal of installing IPfire. Unfortunately that was too complicated for me https://wiki.ipfire.org/hardware/arm/friendlyelec/nanopi-r4s I had now installed Armbian and NextCloud and I am very satisfied. In about 10 hours I had "my own cloud". Therefore a very warm and big thank you to the Armbian developers. Only thanks to the Armbian, I can look over the Raspberry horizon. I wish you a very pleasant week Best regards

Hello, how can i update my Cubitruck with armbian Buster to Bookworm? apt dist-upgrade did it not. Thank you

TI SK-AM62A7 is not supported by Armbian, can I use Armbian and create a custom debian based image for TI SK-AM62A7. Support for TI SK-AM62 is there. Kindly guide me on how can I start building my custom image for TI-SK AM62A7.

I like Guix system. I really like it on my desktop, so now I want to use Guix system as the OS for my Orange Pi 5 Pro as well. The problem is, the Arm distro for Guix System is only available for Generic EFI and I didn't have the money to buy a Orange Pi 6 Plus. But I figure, why not install Armbian on SD card and have it boot Guix System on the SSD? Is that possible and if so, how would I achieve that? So far I've been able to 'dd' the guix system install ISO onto the SSD. It seems to have an iso9660 filesystem.

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

I have a 5" 800x480 TFP401 display which the current armbian can't drive, and I have no idea how to fix that. My EDID is identical to his. I'm a total armbian noob and half linux noob and have no idea where to start or what all the used terms mean (u-boot, dpms, ...) or they come with random patches or links to github changesets that I have no idea what to begin with. All I know is how to compile Igor's kernel, change existing patches in his repo, and burn it (as image, not u-boot) to an SD card, all because there is a nice tutorial for it. When people start talking about anything else I have no idea what to do with that information. I tried to mod…

Hi Guys, My current system has 128MB of SWAP area for RAM. I think it's located on SD card by default, however I have eMMC (8GB) on board. Is there any way to extend SWAP area to use this 8GB or less of eMMC which can be faster than SD card. Is there any way to extend SWAP area even on SD card on working system?
