Hi, I'm trying to build an image on Windows. But when running compile.sh, I get the following error: [💲|💥] Problem detected [ WSL2 Terminal does not support UTF-8 ] Full log: https://paste.armbian.com/zopitumatu I don't know why this is happening, I've tried both cmd, powershell 5, powershell 7, all with the same result. The log mentions the Windows Terminal in the Microsoft Store should support it, but that already is installed and seems to just open the same Powershell 5, with the same error. Any idea on how to fix this?

Hi! I would like to know if there is a way at the startup to load new uboot / system to sdcard or spi flash. The fact is for DIY waterproof system, it's hard to remove sdcard, sometimes OPi isn't close of my computer. Idealy i would like TFTP / serial upgrade like openwrt router. Maybe it's impossible since TFTP upgrade need to download before image to ram, check it and burn it. With OP PC we have 1G ram to store image before write it on sdcard... Any idea? thanks

I was very sad to learn that RedHat's BS called network-manager made its way to debian images of Armbian. What should I install after purging NM so that I get my /etc/netwok/interfaces parsed at boot?

Hello, I am a green hand of using armbian and also the development board. However, I want to use a 2.8 inch ILI9341 screen to show the zsh (desktop). I have read some articles and disscusion about this, however, things seem to be different when I want to deal with it. I even don't know how to add the overlay because there is no such a directory. Should I create it by myself, or I should use some command? I really hope some one can help me, thanks This is my environment Linux nanopik2-s905 6.1.30-meson64 #8 SMP PREEMPT Wed May 24 16:32:53 UTC 2023 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

On Armbian Orange Pi 5b webpage, one can download the latest image with kernel 6.7 Rrc1, not stable. Once the kernel (6.7) is stable, will there be a way to upgrade without reinstalling? Thanks.

Hi. I problem with the board banana pi r1, I've installed a couple of system on it, but I can't get the ip address from the router, I have a banana pi m1 and with the same image it works, but when I remove the sd memory and install it on banana pi r1 and it doesn't work. The bpi-r1 is broken the ethernet port or something like that? When the bpi-r1 starts running turn on the green light in the ethernet port, that doesn't happen with the bpi-m1 model. any idea, I've installed with the debian installer, but is the same problem, the ethernet doesn't work when I am configuring the net

Hi! I've tried to compile the lwjgl lib on my opiplus2, but I'm stuck on ant compile_native_es. ant jars_es finished successfully. The error: [apply] /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lEGL Tried to install libegl1-mesa-dev package but it conflicts with the mali driver package. Is it possible to compile the lwjgl with opengl-es on the opi, or that's a dead idea? Thanks in advance!

Hi! In armbian-config there's a choice to move system files from SD to HDD (or some other media). Is there a possibility to "revert" that - so that after "the action" the system would be read from the SD card again? Thanks for all your time and best wishes, Damjan

Hello! I have a stash of OPi H3 boards and it just occurred to me that there's no way to interface them with a storage device in any decent way. What am I missing here??? I also have a lot of 100 GB SATA SSD's, and I thought to myself, wouldn't it be great if each SBC could have its own SSD. But then I realized... how the hell am I going to get any kind of decent IO? If it's not possible with SSD's connected locally, let's forget them and then think, what other storage device can I use so that my OPi boards have some respectable IO device to work with? Please tell me where the gap in my understanding is?! Thanks!

I cant use the number keys on my keyboard to type in 1234 as the manual says. I can only type in "root" at the login but I cant type anything in the password section.

Was on the edge vendor kernel and now swapped to 6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx And i just cant seem to get full hardware functionality with Jellyfin, Specifically tone mapping and subtitle burning crash. Atleast the tone mapping seems to be a lack of /dev/mali0 Is there a kernal or version that has all the drivers / firmware support for a fully jellyfin use? Sorry if I'm mincing words.

The new Orange Pi 4 Pro image connects to Bluetooth keyboards perfectly, but typing doesn't work because uinput is completely missing from the 6.6.98-vendor-sun60iw2 kernel config.

Since most of the wireless engineering products are using RT3070 and RT5370 wireless network card, you can join the armbian driver!

Hi, Unfortunately I'm not yet allowed to post in the development area. I'm using a rockpro64 with armbian quite successfully, Beside other stuff it has two DVB-C USB sticks connected. But I can only run the kernel dpkg -l | grep linux-image hi linux-image-rockchip64 5.75 arm64 Linux kernel, version 4.4.174-rockchip64 since further 4.4 kernel (e.g the latest one linux-image-rockchip64_5.90_arm64 (4.4.182) does not have the CONFIG_VIDEO_EM28XX set to m as before. What are actually the plans in this regard. Is there some good reason that is was disable…

I'm trying to get the orange pi lite 2 to work with a desktop image, but the images i find on the armbian site are server only (no interface). If possible, i'd like some help with choosing an actual desktop image that has a compatible working kernel for this board. Can anyone point out a specific version or provide a download link? if so, thanks.

Hi, I have an OrangePi_4b (RK3399), mounted in aluminum case, in which I am going to install armbian. I also have a mini-double fan that I want to attach to the outside of the box, to cool it. The approximate power consumption of this mini fan is 300 mA. According to the orange pi 4b manual, I find these Gpio: PIN1 VCC3V3_SYS PIN2 VCC5V0_SYS PIN4 VCC5V0_SYS The questions (to whoever can answer or has experiences) are: For those pins respectively, what is the maximum consumption per pin, measured in milliamps? Is it feasible to connect the mini-fan to Gpio (V + GND)? If possible I am thinking both 5V (pin2 and pin4) an…

Hi there, I have searched a bit, but didn't found HOW (step by step) make my OPi4 (with Armbian installed) an BitCoin factory. Looks it is a quite good candidate, 6 cores (2 BIG), GPU (I know, this is not Nvidia ;p). For the moment not busy doing anything. Could someone provide some kind of HOWTO on topic? (google reports small number of BC diggers for Linux). I have found some howto and (for ARMHF, not 64) binaries to make Linux machine "full" node of BC network, but not on digging BC.

Hi. I was following a tutorial on how to set up my Orange pi PC. I installed this image: RetrOrangePi_v4.3_Armbian_5.97_Orangepipc_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_5.2.14_desktop.img. So I installed it.

Hello, I compiled a little GUI application using Qt for my Orangepi One, Running Armbian 5.41 (Mainline) . However, when executing I get the following error message: libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate I figured this was related to the graphics driver. However Mesa is running fine with the glxgears -info test showing up normally and rendering just fine. I didn't see anything unusual in glxinfo either. I found this https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/61078/qt-applications-dont-work-due-to-libegl and symlinked the library files, but the proposed fix is not working for me. Do you guys have any ideas?

Hello, According to the changelogs on https://docs.armbian.com/Release_Changelog/, the 20.08 version on September upgrade the EspressoBin to the Kernel 5.6 and the next version 20.08.3 it was updated to the 5.8 kernel. When I go to the archives for the Espressobin (https://archive.armbian.com/espressobin/archive/) I cannot find the 5.6 version. Is there any reasons for that or is a missing link? Kind regards,

I'm using Armbian 21.08.2 Focal with Linux 5.10.60-sunxi and I try to setup a bonding interface for failover between eth and wifi. It doesn't seem to work after a reboot.

In RHEL it's under /etc/sysconfig/network, debian it's supposed to be /etc/network/interfaces but this last one contains only source /etc/network/interfaces.d/* # Network is managed by Network manager auto lo iface lo inet loopback Thanks!

I want to make an Armbian image with BTRFS rootfs. I did, it works. My problem is the default setup only assign 58M to the partition for /boot, leave only 18M of free space. I want to make it 150M. I had some bad experience related to such issue before - when I did an "apt upgrade" that involves building of new initrd.img file, the /boot partition is too small to allow the upgrade. So, I want to fix this issue before I build other stuffs on it. I have browse the docs.armbian.com and read couple of README under the build/ folder but find no hints. Thanks in advance for your help P.S. I think my question should be a gener…

Hi all, I am building an art project, and I love the hardware specs of Orange Pi PC for it. I have a graphical Java app (built in Processing) that runs on a HDMI display, and unsurprisingly it doesn't run well without a GPU. On RPi 3B+/Diet Pi I've got it up around 24 fps using KMS, and I'm happy with that performance, but now I'm porting it to the OPi so I'm kinda starting from scratch again. I am aware of the amazing work going on with Panfrost although I've had issues installing it on my board with Buster Desktop. In general Armbian on Orange Pi PC seems pretty great, amazing even. But I'm only getting about 1 frame every 5 seconds with my Java/Processing a…

Hello! Recently i bought an Orange Pi 4 LTS. I choosen armbian for my os. I installed it to sd card, but I wanted more. I decided to flash the system to eMMc. It was a mistake.

Hi Is there Armbian for Banana pi p2 zero?

I am trying to investigate why borg backups, specifically when doing borg check, are taking over twice as long on armbian buster + OMV5, compared to armbian stretch + OMV4. The borg server is an Odroid HC2, and borg check runs on the server (HC2) and is single threaded. Not sure where to even start, but one thing that caught my attention is that the borg process will be running at 100% CPU at various times (as expected), but the CPU frequency at those same times was reported at 200-300 MHz when observed using htop. Is this normal? Unfortunately I don't know what frequency was normal in the same circumstances with armbian stretch + OMV4. Benchmarks …

Hello everyone! I recently heard about running x86_64 programs on ARM using box64, and decided to give it a try. I get the impression that most people are just using it for games but I would like to use it to run Quartus (a program to work with Intel FPGAs). The issue I see is getting the USB drivers to work. Quartus includes drivers for several programming cables (I am only interested in the USB blaster cable), and as far as I know there are no drives available that run on ARM. Is there any hope at all of getting the x86 drivers to work on ARM? Thanks in advance.

Hi! I have a Banana Pi Pro running last Armbian v5.20 via SD card. There is 2 usb HD 2TB connected.I create a software RAID1 /dev/md0 with the 2 usb hd dev/sda1 & dev/sdb1 mounted as /mnt/md0. Up to now all is working fine. My goal, put the root on that raid1.

The script run fine and it transfert all from the SD card to the 'md' (raid) but after the reboot,,,,, nothing, the system wont start.

Hi all, i just stumbled upon the Bana Pi M4 Zero while searching for an pi zero 2w alternative that features at least 5ghz network support. My use case is explained quickly, I want to use g_mass_storage to create an smart usb stick device. I can't use libcomposite, since old devices (and it's going to be used with old tech) don't support composite as far as I know. Is g_mass_storage supported by default or would I have to compile my own kernel/image?

I am new to Ambian and am trying to boot up to it for the first time. I have both an Orange Pi 6 Plus and an Orange Pi Zero 3.

They will boot up to a text console where I can configure Wifi, root password, intitial user name, and locale. After that, they state that they are starting the desktop or running some script and continue no further. That I see uniform and reliable failure across the images and the devices make me think that I may be doing something wrong. But I cannot find some step documented somewher…

I am running a Plex Media Server on a headless Orange Pi PC Plus with Armbian Ubuntu server. So far I’ve been able to configure fstab on the server to mount the NAS at boot. That seems to work fine. However, the problem I have is when I have a power failure and everthing reboots at the same time, the server boots before my NAS. I then have to ssh in and run “sudo mount -a”. Is there a way to have the server detect and mount the NAS whenever it’s available to the network?

This is likely a stupid question but I couldn't find anything about it. I have a NanoPi Neo2 v1.1 1GB where I flashed nanopi-neo2_sd_friendlycore-xenial_4.14_arm64.

I have a couple NanoPi (Neo, Neo 3, R2S, Neo 2 Black) devices and recently I wanted to tinker with trying to get them to be an IP KVM. The hang-up I hit is that I can't get g_hid to work. I am in way over my head but usually my google-fu gets me through. I can't find what I am looking for and it seems that most of the posts on the forum were from 2017 when there was an issue with the kernel that was supposed to be resolved. I am running Armbian 20.08.7 Bionic with Linux 5.8.13-sunxi on a NanoPi Neo (H3) but the error is on all of the devices. Anyway, the error I am getting is: root@nanopineo:~# modprobe g_hid modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'g_hid': No…

Hello! I`m very new on how SBC`s work, and wanna know if there`s some way to fix this situation: My audio is not actually being reproduced via the HDMI connection between my TV and my Orange Pi [Orange Pi 4 LTS]. I took a brief look at the solutions/instructions on the documentation page ((https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Fine-Tuning/#sound-output)), such as: # Check the available sound output options: pacmd list-sinks | less # The default will be marked with "*" # Press "q" to close # Define the new default sound output pacmd set-default-sink <NAME-OF-DESIRED-OPTION> but i only got this, and as far as i could test…

Can you help me know which panel is suitable for orange pi 3? “Install hass.io on supported boards / builds - it works there” thank you verry much!

In the notes for the current Buster download, the mac assigned on first boot is supposed to be recorded in the /boot/uEnv.txt. However no such file is in the /boot directory. Do I need to create this file, and make the appropriate entry myself, or is the assigned address stored else where? Thanks for your time. William.

I've just finished using the build tool to create an Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS (kernel 4.14.34-sunxi) image for this Orange Pi Zero, booted from SD, logged in, and everything was going fine. Then I: Added the following to /etc/modules: g_ether gadgetfs dummy_hcd Upon rebooting the board, my iMac Pro host popped up the UI from Parallels to ask me if I wanted it connected to the Mac or VM, then the machine kernel panicked. It panicked again upon reboot until I unplugged the board. I had zero panics before I made this change. I then inserted it into my MacBook Pro and that machine panicked as well. Here …

Hi friends, I've been away from SBC's (and you) for two years. With covid-19 at hand and all family at home remote working/learning, I wanted to redesign my home-office network. I bought two managed switches (Zyxel 1200GS-8) in order to introduce VLANs, transformed the office server to a router etc. I try to build a SBC gateway between public and home network but got myself into trouble. I'm working on this for three days now but couldn't get it working. I messed around a lot and got lost, need second (and more) eyes to debug it. Here is the network layout: About the gateway: OPi PC 2 ( has 1Gbps port connected to home NW) augmented with a …

On my Banana Pi M5 Armbian Jammy has a strange device name assignment. BPi-M5 has internal 16GB eMMC normally named mmcblk0 and microSD named mmcblk1. Normally it boots from SD and if you install an OS like Raspberry OS for BPi into eMMC, you're still able to boot from SD another OS because RaspiOS maps device correctly. But when Armbian (i.e. Jammy) is installed into eMMC it changes eMMC device to mmcblk1 and SD to mmcblk0, and It prevents SD to boot. And if the eMMC OS corrupts and doesn't boot the SBC bricks and TTL connection is needed to erase boot record. To change OS it's necessary a command to delete boot record and SD on mmbl…

Hi, I have installaled a web server with "armbian-config" 3 Partie software on a Cubietruck3. All ISPConfig is installed and it's up to date.

Hello, Is it possible to set the speed of the UART3 to 921600 baud instead of 115000? How to do it? I need to connect to an arduino at that speed. I have tried with minicom but I can't get it. I have also tried to put the following command dtoverlay=miniuart-bt in /boot/armbianEnv.tx but it doesn't work either. to 115000 if I can connect well, therefore the port works correctly Is there any way?

Hello I just started using Armbian to try to salvage a Banana PI M2 that I had given up on more or less due to bad system images and lack of support from the maker. And so far the Armbian has solved all my problems that I had with the images from Banana PI, except..... I cannot get USB sticks to mount. I installed thunar-volman and tick marked Mount removable drives when hot-plugged, Mount removable drives when inserted, Browse removable media when inserted. Is there something I might be missing ? Thanks

I have 1 Armbian installed in the SBC. I want to login but I don't have any idea what is the root password. I saw there are few methods of breaking it and can bypass / reset password.

Hello! I am just trying to set up Armbian Buster on my Banana Pi and I am experiencing a strange problem with the keyboard settings: I choose de-UTF8 for system wide locale and system wide language, I set the keyboard to German, but still I couldn't type umlaute (öäü). If I typed "ä", nothing happens. If I typed "ü", it retrieved commands from the bash history, that I typed in earlier. If I typed ö", the input line displayed (arg: 6) After long search I finally found a kind of solution: if I uncomment this line in /etc/inputrc: # set convert-meta off I can type "öäü", but now I also can delete as many characters from …

Just after writing the image on the SDcard, I start tuning rc.local and crontab. I have found that crontab is not run before first authentification; this is an issue, because I use crontab to handle my networking; and without networking, I can not know the IP of the pi, and I can't login. I have found that after first authentification, I am asked to change the root password, then I see /etc/update-motd.d/99-point-to-faq, then /etc/profile.d/check_first_login.sh (which includesuser account creatino), but not /etc/update-motd.d/41-armbian-config After second authentification, I can see /etc/update-motd.d/41-armbian-config and /etc/update-motd.d/99-po…

Hi I installed the official release on my Z83 mini PC and it boots up great, but when I go to install to the emmc it fails at the U-Boot generation step with the error below. Has anyone seen this before or know a workaround? I did check to see if this was just a red herring error but as the error says the bootloader does not get written. "Error while creating U-Boot loader image with mkimage" "Error: no u-boot package found, exiting." Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi guys, the history before: I ordered 2x OrangePi3 and got them at 29/07/2019. The 1st one I've unpacked could not be flashed to another Operating System. Neither the images of the developer worked nor the armbian. I figured out, that the HDMI port and the SD card reader is buggy at that 1st device. Today I unpacked the 2nd OrangePI3 and armbian booted easily and rapidly into the SD card OS. I was able to flash the eMMC with armbian and I am happy, but not with the 1st one of OPI3. I hope that the manufacturer in china will exchange the buggy OPI3 for a working other one. To cut a long story short, the a…

Hi everyone, I'm an experienced Debian user but it's my first time with Armbian running on an Orange Pi Zero. I'd like to make it a DB node by running MySQL. As there is no MySQL available in the apt repository, I tried MariaDB but during the installation (tried multiple times) I don't get asked for a password and need to run mysql --skip-grant-tables which leads to db failure, permission problems (like root can access without password while all the other users are blocked). Installation from source code fails due to limited memory. How can I seamlessly get mysql-server to work on Armbian?

Thank you for the Armbian 5.66 images for the Banana Pi M2 Ultra. I would like to speak out a wish. Is it possible to add the kernel module uinput in the next revision? It would help me for using multimedia keys via bluetooth. Many Thanks in advance Markus

I'm looking for an ARM board to self-host some stuff at home. My requirements is that the hardware is light enough that it doesn't requirement mechanical cooling, and can run yunohost [1] So my question at this stage is: how do I know about determining whether any given board requires its own cooling? Complete newbie here, I just want something small and silent. [1] https://doc.yunohost.org/en/admin/get_started/install_on/arm_board/

Hello, everybody! Today I've got very interesting behavior during debian8-3.4.112 startup. If the network cable is plugged in - everything is ok. dhclient starting correctly with an ip address obtained from dhcp server. BUT!

Moreover, if I try to connect network cable when the system is up and running, dhclient is never start and network is unreachable respectively. Does somebody knows how to solve this problem?\ Thanx a lot!

If you don't like autologin in Armbian Ubuntu desktop, or if yo want to have several desktops to choose, here is how I did this. Tested on legacy image, but I belive that same setup should work on mainline too. 1. Install ubuntu desktop image on MMC (I did it using Etcher) 2. Install display manager. Because of simplicity, I choose LXDM. sudo apt-get install lxdm 3. Set default session and disable nodm Edit /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf Find line: session=/usr/bin/startlxde Replace it with: session=/usr/bin/startxfce4 Fix for XFCE session entry from LXDM session menu: Open the /usr/share/xsessions/x…
