Hi! I've just downloaded the Armbian_23.8.3_Orangepi3-lts_bookworm_current_6.1.53_cinnamon_desktop.img onto a 16GB SD card, plugged it to the Opi and started it up. Then I connected to it using SSH, and it works just fine. But when I tried VNCViewer (actually, MobaXTerm on Windows), nothing is displayed but a message saying that Cinnamon crashed and "you are currently running in fallback mode". I've tried to install another window manager, like lightdm with xface4 with no success. I also tried to remove cinnamon and reinstall it, again to no avail. I did the same to x11 and again couldn't have any desktop manager running. Then I burned t…

When WLAN didn't work on OPI PC, I could connect OPI to x86 PC via Ethernet and X86 PC to WLAN. Since WLAN now works on OPI PC (thanks Igor!), I would like to connect the x86 PC to the OPI PC via Ethernet and let it use Internet. How can this be done? Infos at http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/591-wlan0-only-works-when-eth0-plugged-in/didn't help.

I'm running the latest XU4 focal and ffmpeg doesn't support the latest H265+ codec even though I'm only doing a copy (no transcoding). Is there a way to build latest ffmpeg without losing hardware accelration? [rtsp @ 0x556f60] [warning] Multi-layer HEVC coding is not implemented.

If possible, I would like to shutdown or wake up the Odroid N2 using a GPIO button. I followed the guide here: https://wiki.odroid.com/odroid-n2/application_note/gpio/gpio_key_wakeup. The button LED works, but the button does not trigger shutdown or wake up using pin 9 and 11. Has anyone gotten a power button to work on the Odroid N2? Is there a specific Odroid module/software that isn't installed by default in Armbian? Additions to /boot/boot.ini setenv gpiopower "479" setenv bootargs ${bootargs} gpiopower=${gpiopower} After these additions, /proc/cmdline shows "gpiopower=479" as expected.

Hi, I would like to use Orange Pi Zero for home automation server. I'm finding method to install os upgrades (and my own app upgrade too). I plan to have a lot of devices hundreds of kilometers from me, so I cannot break device over ssh or during update.

Hi there. Is there any way to set hostname of freshly installed board with armbian-config not in menu, but from command line ? armbian-config --help gives some examples, but not for this case. And more generic question -- when I "burn" microSD image, first boot comes with questions about root password, new user, etc. Is there a way to do it in unattended mode ? E.g. with ansible. Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi. Does anyone have the deb package of the linux-headers-3.4.113-sun8i.deb? There isnt in the repository anymore. Kind regards.

Hi, since I upgraded my debian-based Armbian installations from 21.08.x to 22.02.1 the DISTRIBUTION_CODENAME variable is empty in the MOTD. It seems this error is in file https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/packages/bsp/common/etc/update-motd.d/10-armbian-header since commit https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/3378/commits/1c71761973858c2bea16074075ef74157c2a960b. It tries to read the DISTRIBUTION_CODENAME from /etc/lsb-release, which is non-existent on debian-based Armbian. So I propose to read the variable from /etc/os-release instead, which is existent on Ubuntu AND Debian: --- /etc/update-motd.d/10-a…

I am using armbian on banana pi m2 zero with screen 1920x360. For some reason display controller didn't tell edid, so banana using default value and it doesn't look right (only a few more than half of the screen displaying anything). I want to use this screen, so I want to override default values. How this can be done? I tried setenv video-mode sunxi:1920x360-24@60,monitor=hdmi saveenv but this didn't work (saveenv tells `Saving Environment to FAT...

Hello Armbian community, I recently purchased a Odroid N2+ board and am trying different OS. I flashed Armbian_22.08.1_Odroidn2_jammy_current_5.10.139.img.xz on eMMC card. The first boot up works fine. I was prompted to set root password, new user credential and locals without any issue. I then used 'armbian-config' to navigate the different settings. In the system security menu, I applied the firmware update (that's what the menu called), I assume it runs apt update && apt upgrade. After completion, it prompts me to reboot. So I did. Then the Armbian cannot boot up anymore. I am using Odroid N2+ headless, so I can only see the board blue led not flashi…

Hello, I'm trying to get a new board working using Armbian. I'm currently working from my GIT repo so I cloned armbian/build and u-boot/u-boot I added them to the compile.sh script by using userpatches/lib.conf overrides. I added the DTS file of the board, defconfig and modified the Makefile as it can be seen on this commit On the board config side, I set: BOOTCONFIG="fly_gemini_defconfig" The image is built successfully but the board doesn't boot because the DTB file isn't present in /boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-h5-fly-gemini.dtb I looked in output/debug files but I didn't found any error What did I miss ? …

Hi there, I have a working armbian jammy on my odroid c2, but I'm unable to get SPI to work. I tried to load the three as described in the odroid wiki (https://wiki.odroid.com/odroid-xu4/application_note/gpio/spi#tab__odroid-c2😞 sudo modprobe spidev sudo modprobe spi_gpio sudo modprobe spi_bitbang ...and that works, but unfortunately no device file is created. I believe SPI needs to be enabled somewhere additonally. In the "armbian-config" hardware section, there is only an entry for the odroid n2, which does not help/work for me. Are there any other hints somebody can give me to make it work? thanks a…

On H3, this can be done by editing script.bin That file has been replaced by Device Tree on H5 board, /boot/orangepi/OrangePiH5orangepi.dtb However, many have reported that editing that file can not enable RCA, see https://github.com/OrangePiLibra/OrangePi_H5SDK/issues/7 So what should I do to enable it? Is there an easy way to do it without compiling the kernel?

Hi, I have "ARMBIAN Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) 4.6.5-sunxi" running on a BananPi R1 router. I used to have it set up such that while it booted off the SD card, it had its root FS on an SSD. Some time ago, I had to re-install as an upgrade went fatally wrong and now I cannot remember the exact steps to switch from the SD card to the SSD as the root FS. I changed the root= in /boot/boot.cmd and generated the /boot/boot-scr and also changed the /etc/fstab entry but findmnt -n -o SOURCE / still shows "/dev/mmcblk0p1". Can anyone tell me the steps to take in switching to a new root FS? Thanks and ... stay healthy! Josef

Hi, i have a problem, on my first boot i cant use my Keyboard because Armbian doesnt recognized it. i use Bookworm as an Image

a Few days ago I started noticing strange behavior with calls failing and pods with valid imag tags not working and finally figured out what seems like armbian stopped trusting any certificates. When I apt update I get errors (certificate something something) When I curl google.com it says invalid certificate and have to use --insecure for it to work. I've run update ca-certifactes -f to try and force it to trust them again but no real idea of what is wrong here.

Hi there, I am just starting with Armbian, installed on odroid c2 emmc card, all seems to work, but when I tried to install software via armbian-config/softy just when I hit that I got on the screen small error: /etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc: Warning: /etc/resolv.conf is not a symbolic link to /etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf It is disappearing after 2-3 sec and I can install software which works (at least omv which I wanted) but it is weird to me.

Hi, I'm trying to work with the CedarX/Cedrus Video Engine (on Allwinner A20). It works smoothly with my patched FFmpeg; for example: ffmpeg -f v4l2 -r 30 -pix_fmt nv12 -video_size 1280x720 -i /dev/video0 -vcodec cedrus264 -pix_fmt nv12 -qp 15 -f rtsp -rtsp_transport tcp rtsp://192.168.10.11/live/test I need to use pixel format RGB24, but as far as I understand, I'm limited to work with NV12 (or NV16) pixel format. Does this limitation is due to: My FFmpeg patch (I think not...) CedarX/Cedrus driver implementation. Hardware limitation. Thanks for the help, Joseph

Hey guys and gals and aliens and their pets, What does a better single board computer look like? What chipset does it use? what does it do differently from past models? I have some thoughts on this but I'd be remiss not to ask yours. "Better" is a goal. Need to figure out what better is, first, and then act.

I run ARMBIAN 5.38 stable Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 4.14.18-sunxi on an Orange Pi Zero. Cron and its timezone are causing me problems: it's initially one hour out - all root crons run an hour early. If I run dpkg-reconfigure tzdata and set the correct region/place, cron then runs correctly until the next reboot. I can see no difference between the localtime and timezone files before and after the reconfigure (strangely, the localtime link is replaced by a file following a reconfigure - this is different from my other Armbian machines). I can work around the problem as follows: following a start/reboot I then restart the cron serv…

Hello, I have read a lot of posts and the topic is described many times but I have a problem with moving armbian buster with Linux 5.4.28-sunxi to emmc in banana pi m3.

I'm running the latest 5.10.21-sunxi kernel. I figured out how to use the PWM pin with the help of this post. I have an LED connected to the PWM pin and when I run for example: sudo sh -c "echo 250 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm0/duty_cycle" the LED updates instantly. But when I try to fade the LED with a script, the LED always takes 6 seconds to update. This is the script: #!/bin/bash #Export PWM channel for user control. sh -c "echo 0 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/export" #Select the period of PWM signal. Value is in nanoseconds. sh -c "echo 500 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm0/period" #Change the polarity of the PWM signal. #The …

Hello, I'm a novice Armbian user (I deployed a number of $8 Rockchip 3328 SBCs as security monitors which for the last few months have been working just fine). I have six identically configured SBCs that I have been regularly updating - about once every few weeks, I run 'sudo apt update' and 'sudo apt upgrade' just to make sure the systems have the latest updates to Armbian and the various software packages I depend on. Up until yesterday, updates were working just fine. Yesterday, I tried to update the SBCs, and all six threw the same errors during 'sudo apt update'. The errors are: E: The repository 'http://apt.armbian.com bionic R…

I'm working on a project that utilises AI, GPS, Bluetooth... and i can't decide whether i should choose OPi or RPi. I've been researching for the past couple of days and I'm amazed at what the OPi can do, it's crazy for it's price. But my concern is how little support and community there is out there, idk if it's worth the risk. So if any one worked with it can you please tell me what kind of difficulties have you faced and how similar is it to working with the raspberry?

Hi, I have just changed from a custom legacy kernel to armbian and like the experience. I use the Logitech Media Server and squeezelite, mainly to play radio on the armbian box itself as well as on a Squeezebox Radio I still have.

I am using Armbian.imager_2.0.4_amd64,AppImage on a Fedora sytem to burn two new Lenovo 256 Gbyte sd with Rpi4b_resolute_current_6.18.42_gnome_desktop_img.xz, and both report a verify failure at 113246208. I am suspicious because two sd's are failing at the same offset. I think that is unlikely, if they both have a manufacturing defect. I think it is more likely a systematic error in the software. tayolepuqi.txt

I am trying to setup my Odroid-XU4 with Armbian 20.05.2 booting from MMC and no SDCard in slot. It took me a while but finally I found what I needed. Next I've installed OpenMediaVault using armbian-config, that worked well. Within OMV I've tried to setup VLANs which I could define but they didn't work, so I had to take a deeper look into it. I've found that the interface name needed to be reverted back to eth0 since the new naming convention enx<MAC-address without ":"> uses the max available number of characters already: In my case "enx001e06320261" , so if you add a vlan "enx001e06320261.1" the name is to long, it will not start. This could be so…

Hello everyone, I have a question. It is about SSD memory, which can be connected to the usb3 interface via a converterbox SATA 1,2,3 to the OrangePi3 device. I did not find any helpful information in the hardware recommendations inside the Arbian Forum for OrangePi3 H6 all winner (looser). Before I jump into the cold water like with my RPI 4b+, I am interested in which SATA 1,2,3 adapter to SSD to USB3 works with the OrangePi3 devices. I already know that the NVME slot and memory is not supported. And a usb3 converter with SSD additionally absorbs power. Thanks for Help

In other distros like Joshua Riek's Ubuntu and the official Orange Pi 5 Ubuntu release, 120 hz is selectable in 4k and works wonderfully. Is there something I'm missing somewhere? Is there something I can do to manually enable this somewhere? This distro checks all the boxes for me otherwise. Using 120 hz makes a massive difference when streaming games from my desktop to my living room TV using Sunshine/Moonlight.

Hi For years I run Armbian on a cubieboard2 in order to have a pi-hole in my network. Now I want to update it to a newer version (the current nickname seems to be focal) and run into problems.

a while back I created my own Armbian environment for the Orange PI Pc that uses Xstart to run a custom .exe I created. the Program uses Uart to communicate with an external Pic chip. the program has been running well and have not had any problems with it. I created a .img of the environment and have been disabusing copies. however recently ( about 2 months after ) I have been told that some of them have been crashing and digging into it I noticed is was Uart communication failing. A temporary solution has been replacing the SD card with a new one but this does not fix the issue of this happening in the first place. I have attached the Uboot of both the failing program an…

Hello everyone, I am beginner to ARMBIAN OS installed on Rock 3A ( 4/64 GB) board. Version of the Armbian OS is "Armbian_22.08.1_Rock-3a_jammy_edge_5.19.5_xfce_desktop.img.xz" and I'm trying to install basic radxa packages such as mraa, PoE function, etc. But I don't know how to and where to update the radxa repository on armbian os. Still I try to update the repository on /etc/apt/source.list.d/armbian.list , but while updating (apt update) it's throwing an error like "An error occurred during the signature verification". Please help me to solve this issue. Note : The motive is I have to work with PoE hat, for that mraa packages are essentials. And also I nee…

Hi, I want turn off lan lights like I can do on Banana Pi, see bpi_ledset link below: https://github.com/n1tehawk/bpi_ledset I have couple of these boards turned on and it is like live in Las Vegas when it is night. And second reason why I do not need these lights is I see network activity on switch, I do not need to see duplicity information on board and switch together. Is is possible to turn lan leds on Orange Pi boards?

Here on the forums it is often recommended to burn images using etcher. I am now wondering how etcher differs from for instance using dd or Win32Diskimager. Thanks in advance, giri

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

Hello. I purchased A33-OLinuXino board(Olimex Lime A33) and display module LCD-OLinuXino-10 for this board. (I correctly connected the display to the board according to the scheme). On the microsd card, i installed the prebuild image: Armbian_5.65_Olinuxino-a33_Debian_stretch_next_4.19.10.img downloaded from this ftp://staging.olimex.com/Allwinner_Images/A33-OLinuXino/ server. The system boots up normally and starts the terminal via UART, but the image does not appear on the display. How do I configure the system to make the display work.

After I edit the u-boot settings in armbian-config, do I then need to select "install" to update the boot loader each time? Edit: figured out by looking thru /var/log/armbian-hardware-monitor.log that I do not.

Hi So I installed the minimal IOT version on the eMMC and I am struggling with it as on login, the temperature is at already 73C then ends up having a forced shutdown after like 5 minutes. I don't see why this is happening as it's literally doing nothing on the command line. Any ideas on how to fix this? I was expecting this to idle around 30s, not reach 90 in an air conditioned room. Thanks.

I installed IceWM, but when I boot Armbian GNOME Desktop, it still signs into GNOME automatically. What do I have to do to instead sign into IceWM automatically instead of GNOME? I didn't see this kind of option in armbian-config.

I compile the tr from source code,and Ifind that when I download many bt torrents.It only use 1 cpu(I have 6). When I use the old version from apt, I find the multi threads work. My computer is arm64 rk3399 NanoPi 4with armbian(base on debian). where is the problem? the old version in apt is 2.9.2 I compile in 2.9.4

I was trying to help a student download new C4 images and he gets 'Download Error.' Confirmed at my place - Twice I got 'Unable to download file securely' message but mostly 'Download Failed' on direct download. Didn't try all boards but several have same issue. Chrome on Linux x86 (Mint) and XU4 armbian. HTTP vs HTTPS on direct download? Didn't try the torrent downloads. Torrents work fine. Sorry if I put this in the wrong forum :] Edit: if I hit 'Keep' it still shows download error.

Hi Some time ago i moved rootfs on hdd. After that version of initrd has changed from 5.10.60-sunxi to 5.15.25-sunxi. But apt changes all files only in /boot on hdd (not on memory card).

Good day. I have a board ODROID N2 +, 2x TBS5520se. OS: Linux odroidn2 5.10.111-meson64 #trunk SMP PREEMPT Wed Apr 20 07:09:24 UTC 2022 aarch64 GNU / Linux After I managed to install the TBS drivers, I found that something was wrong. After running the kodi, the UHD channels hardly work at all. Does anyone have experience in solving this problem?

Hello, I'm trying to enable I2C access in U-Boot, for orange PI zero. I've downloaded the Armbian build, and tried to compile with CREATE_PATCHES, exactly like the tutorial here: https://zuckerbude.org/armbian-using-create-patches/ However, the build never stops and waits for me to make changes. I've attached the build log. I *think* I just need to add the following lines to orangepi_zero_defconfig: CONFIG_I2C0_ENABLE=y CONFIG_I2C1_ENABLE=y I guess that would be my next question- is this the proper way to change this config is via CREATE_PATCHES? I tried just changing the defconfig file and re-running c…

Hello I've just installed Armbian on my Asus tinker board, and i have a question. Im going to use it for a project that shows the units cpu usage and cpu temp on a website.. It looks as follows on my unit after logging in via SSH: System load: 1.42 1.43 1.32 CPU temp: 68°C How am i supposed to read the System load ? 1.42 ? Of what? How do you get the CPU Temperature? Can i issue a command my self from the terminal to get it my self? Thanks!

Ciao a tutti, congratulazioni per questa bellissima comunità, oggi ho installato l'ultima versione di armbian per il mio odroid xu4, tutto è andato bene, il problema si verifica quando avvio lo script armbian-config, ho notato che OMV (openmediavault) c'è di più, perché? Grazie mille e buona serata

Hi. login:root , passwd:1234 this password does not match! on Armbian_19.11.3_Orangepiprime_buster_current_5.3.9_desktop.7z

This is a bunch of background info, scroll down to TL;DR for my question.... Hello, I am working on developing an application to make single board computers easier to use for non-technical users. You can think of it as something similar to yunohost or freedombox, but with more hand-holding involved around the hardware & network setup. I'm trying to enable people like my mother who've never seen or used a terminal/shell before to be able to set up and operate a server in their home. The general process looks something like this: user downloads my cross platform desktop application called "seedpacket" they run the app and go through a ser…

In this topic solved the problem orange H3 with tv out. Can you add this TV-out feature to the new ubuntu focal release for orange pi H2+ / H3 ?

Hi I am looking for the bullseye image for odroid hc4. Is there an archived version? It's needed for OMV as it is incompatible with newer versions: https://wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=omv6:armbian_bullseye_install Appreciate any help Alex

Hi, I am looking for a device that has good support for being WiFi access point and being in client (managed) mode at the same time. Which can you recommend?

I have Armbian up and running on a Rock Pi S with a PoE HAT. To enable the audio jack on the PoE HAT I had to run the following commands as mentioned on the official Rock Pi S PoE Hat wiki. # echo 15 > /sys/class/gpio/export # echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio15/direction # echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio15/value Once enabled, the audio works as needed. However, every time the device is rebooted I have to SSH in and run these commands again to re-enable audio out which is obviously not ideal. How can I persist these changes between reboots?

i can't change default english os lanhuage. i set and download my home language... dowloading language files,finish added to list, i tap apply wide-system change effect after next login..okay here problem! i try logout and re login, system don't change language i try logout and restart board...language not changed... why not change system the english language to other?

Recent apt upgrade caused problems with headless Orange PI+. It is not respond via ping and ssh. Prev upgrade also made the breaking change - eMMC's path in /dev was also changed. But 2020.02 was pretty stable. What packages should I put on the hold to prevent upgrading armbian specific packages? I maen what packages should i place in placeholder to prevent upgrade. echo "<package> hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections Thanks in advance.

I have the magicsee N5 max with amlogic s905x3 processor, I think it is compatible with the magicsee n5 plus, the problem is that I was reading in the forums, but many of the files that were used for the n5 plus I can no longer find them, now there are new versions and I would like to know if someone could guide me now which is the correct way to install it. I'm not very good at this but if you guide me I can make it work for sure, thanks.

Hey there fellow Pi enthusiasts! I am absolutely thrilled to have just gotten my hands on the Orange Pi 5, but being new to the world of Pi's and small chips, I was a bit intimidated. However, after exploring this forum, I must say that I am impressed with the amazing work you all have done with the software! I recently stumbled upon the Armbian 23.02 Jammy Gnome and decided to give it a shot. After successfully installing it to my SSD, updating and upgrading it, and enabling 3D acceleration with the commands provided, I thought I was good to go. But something still seems off to me - the graphics just don't seem to be as fast as I thought they woul…

Hi! I am trying to set sudo chmod 777 /sys/class/leds/red_led/brightness It works, but after restart the system reverts my changes. I think there is some init file that changes it. Any tip?

I am looking to build a stable applicance that is updateable on demand / over-the-air in an atomic way. Ideally, it uses a dual-partition setup, where the is an active rootfs and an inactive one. On update, a new rootfs is streamed directly to the inactive partition, the device reboots to the new rootfs and - if everything runs according to plan - the new rootfs is committed as the new active one. If the reboot fails, the device reverts to the previous (still active) rootfs. This functionality is very common with embedded devices, many using the Yocto project. I'd like to try to use Armbian, however, building the image from source with my own userpatches and i…

I try to use the pwm from GPIO to PWM control a fan. I would need around 20kHz with a variable duty cycle. As far as I understand I need to activate the pwm overlay, but its only available for the h5. Can I change the UART or I2C overlay to achieve this or should I try to write my own overlay? Is that even doable?

Using my Orange Pi Zero 512 H2 I want wo build a POE-powered display, displaying the current time, time until the bus leaves and ideally some information on bus schedules I can pull from the API of the local bus network. What I currently have is an Orange Pi Zero 512 H2 and a POE injector where I can insert any voltage as it does not run with standard POE voltage. My plan is to buy this e-paper display https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/7.5inch_e-Paper_HAT_(B) and have the Orange Pi display a simple HTML page. So my first question is: Would this display run, would it be a good choice for my setup? Are there any similar projects (yes, I searched) that…

It seems my OrangePi Prime was loosing stability over the years. It was working fine initially, then it was hanging up from time to time - and now it no longer can boot on stock armbian settings. It bootloops on "Starting kernel ..." in serial console. But when I set voltage to 1.3v in armbianEnv.txt - it booted ok. So it seems to be a hardware issue. Does anyone know if there is CPU VDD test point somewhere, or which regulator is responsible for CPU voltage?

Something is overwriting /boot/armbianEnv.txt every now and then. Is it a feature or a bug ? Which other files are affected ? Two OrangePi Lite have the same symptom I am building a startup script to rewrite the file, if it has been corrupted until there gets a better solution.

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