Hello, I'm currently working on integrating a custom-made driver into my Armbian build, but I'm facing some challenges. I've researched the process and found that it should be done through the kernel configuration. However, despite my efforts, I can't seem to find any option that allows me to add a custom driver. I've attempted placing the .ko file in a /driver folder, that I created within the source, as well as in the kernel/ folder under userpatches/, but unfortunately, it hasn't worked. I'm seeking guidance on whether it's possible to add a custom driver to an Armbian build and, if so, I'd greatly appreciate any insights or step-by-step instructi…

I recently purchased an Orange Pi 5 Plus and installed Armbian. It shuts down about every ten minutes. Strangely, when it is streaming video over HDMI it does not shutdown. So it can stream movies for up to three hours without shutting down. But if I am not streaming, for example if I am SSH into the device, it will shutdown after about ten minutes and I get booted out. I disabled system suspend in `settings > Power settings` but this did not help. I also just replaced the power supply with a 4 amp power supply (up from 3.5 amp) but this did not help at all. I also looked around 'armbian-config' but I did not notice any settings that could be the issue. …

Hello, I'm trying to install Armbian using `armbian-install` on NVMe, with bootloader on eMMC. I have installed 64GB Foresee eMMC module and 256GB WD SN530 2242 SSD. When I boot from SD card, both storages are detected. Using fdisk, I made them both `dos` (mbr) partitioned. Then I invoke `armbian-install`, it proceeds without any problems using eMMC+sata/nvme/usb option, and I have now 512 MB boot partition on eMMC, the rest of eMMC space as secondary, f2fs partition, and ext4 partition nvme0n1p1 containing the rest of the system. I power the system off, take the SD card out, and boot again.. and I'm stuck in initramfs. From it, I can mount the nvme0n1p1 m…

I wonder if any work is being done in that direction. Every browser i tried has some sort of issues, that makes it less than usable on H3 devices. -epiphany/midori: both work decently, but lock up after some time with 25% cpu usage (could be a webkit1 issue ?) -chromium: slow and apparently absent from repos -firefox: works ok, but quite slow -net surf: very fast and stable, but not up to date for web standards (probably what makes it fast in the first place) Am i missing any browsers here ? I propose we optimize one of those, that would work best on out allwinner devices in a similar fashion of what raspberry team did with epiphany. I'm sure lots of folks…

Is there an easy (as in a script or utility) way to install Armbian on the eMMC of a Le Potato? I dug through the forum and all the information was old and it seemed rather painful.

We will be configuring in a mode that allows both NFSv3 and NFSv4 clients to connect to access to the same share. Q. What are the benefits of an NFS share over a SAMBA share? A. This would take an article in itself! But as a brief reasoning, In a closed network (where you know every device), NFS is a fine choice. With a good network, throughput it disgustingly fast and at the same time less CPU intensive on the server. There are a lot of applications that support NFS "Out of the box" KODI being a common example. It's very simple to set up and you can toggle readonly on shares you don't need to be writeable. It only gets complicated if you want to start l…

Good morning, I'm new to the community and I'm having problems with wifi adapters driver. I tested some changes that were not recognized. Now I'm testing a RTL8088CU, it came to be recognized at first, but after typing the wifi password it restarted itself and when the call back goes into conflict with the bluetooth dongle and back off. I'm interpreting this as a driver problem, where can I find the usb wifi driver and do its installation? Thank you

Sorry if that already has been answered, couldn't find anything via search function: I have a 1920x1200 TFT attached, works well with 1080p but of course everything is a bit stretched. I tried to understand how boot.cmd/scr work, but essentially there are no entries in those files for that resolution. Search for fdt_disp_mode showed up exactly 2 hits on Google So I'm a bit lost. Is it possible at all?

Hi all, I cannot post to the H6 forum so I cannot reply to @renedis with the link to download the Armbian_5.88.190601_Orangepi3_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_5.1.5 file he asked. For him and other users that actually cannot run the Ubuntu image for Orange Pi 3 I uploaded in my OneDrive the working image: Armbian_5.88.190601_Orangepi3_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_5.1.5 PS: please can someone move to the Allwinner H6 forum? Thank you.

Hi, First of all i'm NOT a software developer and i have NO one skill on this kind of board's hardware... I've a good soldering skill, so just for fun i've bought a new RAM module for my OrangePi Zero Board... I've bought a K4B4G1646E-BYMA RAM module and then i've replace the onboard module... All of the work gone fine, the OrangePi Zero still boot and work perfectly, but i was hoping to upgrade the RAM on the board... After the boot, in the welcome screen the, the RAM amount is now 512MB (494MB) and before was 256MB... The RAM amount is now increased, but not like expected... I've choose the K4B4G1646E RAM module because, theoretically, it was a 4GB RAM m…

I been running my own images with great success thanks to rock solid build environment but one thing that catches me by surprise every now and then is that updating the system can also overwrite my custom kernel, which is is far from ideal. Up until now I been issuing an apt hold command for the packages but I was thinking maybe there is a better way. Because even with the hold in place if I don't pay close attention and do an apt dist-upgrade for example they will still be replaced despite the hold. Is there a better way to prevent my kernels from being updated by the stock kernel? Cheers!

How to run SoftFloat based binary in OrangePiPC ? I have flashed my OrangePiPC with "Armbian_20.08.1_Orangepipc_buster_current_5.8.5.img.xz".

Hi, I've already installed Armbian once before onto the SD card of my Rock PI S (Non-flash version). Before upgrading to Focal, I plugged it into my serial receiver in order to verify that I got the procedures correct so when I upgrade I'd get a console. I was glad I did that as I had forgotten I couldn't get screen(1) to work with my serial device as it can't send and receive data at the 1.5Mbs. I ended up using minicom(1). I downloaded the Focal Edge version of Armbian, verified the data with the ASC key, and wrote it to the Micro-SD card. I then booted it and the blue LED started blinking indicating an alive and working kernel. But I got no data over the…

I use Ambian on the rk322x board, everything works good except the YouTube videos play notably slowly and with constant pauses, is there a way to fix this and make it a more smooth reproduction? Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am trying to get the RS485 Waveshare CAN hat to communicate with the LePotato. I have Klipper and Mainsail installed which for most would be a good stopping point. I am using CANBUS on all of my printer builds and that requires a CAN hat. I am trying to get this working with this board as i can actually buy these boards. I have a few CAN hats working with Raspberry Pis so i know the original process. Does anyone have a good way to get this all working together? Even a point in the right direction would be a help. I did find a post that claimed to be able to do this but actually trying it as posted resulted with no know vendor as an error.

Here is another unsolved problem for me: I can only get my USB Stick to work if i plug it to to the onboard USB. If i use an USB-Hub ( tried different ones) it is not possible. There is no message coming up with tail -f /var/log/messages. If i try to mount: mount: /dev/sdb1 is not a valid block device I need more than two USB devices, so a USB Hub is important for me. I tried active and passive Hubs and off course different USB-Sticks. What can i do to solve this problem?

EDIT: All of the below written stuff is outdated and not recommended to run on any Armbian installation anyway. Simply use Armbian with default settings and you're done. In case you want to adjust settings, search the forum for 'h3consumption' utility. EDIT: Please be aware that it seems voltage switching on the various Orange Pi One boards seems to have some tolerances. A user reported his Orange Pi One crashes randomly when staying on the lower voltage with the new fex settings so unless it's confirmed which voltages are really used or how to measure the real voltage the proposed fix here might lead to undervoltage/stability issues on some boards. …

Hello, I'd like to set up a WLAN access point with WLAN adapters attached to USB on my Orange Pi Zero. First I started with a dualband adapter and used the armbian-config tool. It took forever (like minutes with a black screen) but eventually completed and gave me a working access point on channel 40. That's fine but I also need to be able to change this to a 2.4 GHz channel. That's where things got problematic. I edited /etc/hostapd.conf and changed the channel number from 40 to 5, then restarted hostapd. That didn't work. The service restarted but there was no access point anywhere to be found on the air. Also, the WLAN adapter's LED …

Hello. I have orangepi zero 512mb + TFT Screen ili9341 fully working. Unfortunately, the screen size of 240x320 does not allow using Armbian 21.08.2 at this resolution. Is there a way to fix this at least a little bit? What Armbian code should I dig into?

hello guys, how to activate bridge mode between the 2 ethernet ports of R2S (WAN and LAN) which are referred to as eth0 and lan0 respectively, so as both of them have the same ip address. i tried this https://wiki.debian.org/BridgeNetworkConnections#Manual_bridge_setup but when i reach the command which adds interfaces to the bridge (# brctl addif br0 eth0 lan0)then the ssh connection is lost. i noticed something as well, in interfaces file i added eth0 and lan0 and gave each one a different ip. but then it seems as is now i have two IPs but for the same port (WAN), and no ip for lan port!!!

Sorry for a newbie question. I am setting up a raid system based on flash drives on a Orange Pi One and every thing is working fine.

I can't seem to run "modprobe f2fs". Does this mean that I need to recombile the kernel or what? I am not intending to boot from f2fs. Just mount the raid system for storage.

Hey, I'm currently using Debian Wheezy Armbian and think on Upgrading to Jessie. This should be no problem using the Upgrade script as in documentation. Now I've seen that also Ubuntu Trusty ist available. Is there an upgrade from Debian Wheezy to Ubuntu Trusty possible? Does it have any consequences? Or should I stay within Debian? And as additional question: I currently backup the following directories: /etc /root /home /var/backups /var/lib /var/local /var/opt /var/mail /srv /opt /usr/local Is this enough? Or how should I backup before such a upgrade procedure? Thank you for your infos. Ingo

Collected test image with 5.27. When you run "armbianmonitor -m" is not displayed the temperature. It had me at the Assembly get an error or is it a new mode of monitoring ?

When i set up armbian after first boot, when the screen went to the bottom line, the resolution would not allow me to see the bottom line, so when it asked me to set a password for the user, i hit return - it allowed me to enter a blank password, but now when i try to config for sudo, it does not accept a blank password. If i reinstall the same thing will happen. is there anyway to change or set the admin password from a blank password? 1234 does not work or the new password i set up for root also does not work.

Hello, I am talking strictly about GPIO's value and mode at reset. Under "sudo gpio readall" of H3 core (OPI Lite) I can see that ALL GPIO pins are 0V with different alternative mode functions. Under H3 core (OPI Lite) datasheet 1.2 says that value PC3 and PC4 GPIOs are pulled up? This are in contradiction! Did anyone measured the H3 core GPIOs value? Does H3 core has any pin of pulled-up mode during the reset time of the controller? Please help.

I have an Odroid N2 connected to my TV via HDMI, 1920x1080. This works with the Ubuntu 18.04 Mate OS. In order to not block my TV for hours making it useless to my family, I would like to use my PC monitor instead (DVI/VGA, resolution 1680x1050). There are two entries in the file boot.ini regarding the resolution and interface. Currently it is set to the default (1920x1080, HDMI). Is it required to change both values to 1680x1050 and DVI or is it just sufficient to change the resolution ? Of course, I'll loose the sound. The result, however, is a headless server running a Nextcloud instance at home, so sound doe…

I am experiencing frequent kernel panics with the RockPro64 board and assume it could be a power consumption issue with the SSD (PCIe NVMe M.2). I tested a variety of different SSDs, with the Cruzial P1 being the most reliable. Is it possible to manually throttle an SSD within Armbian, forcing it to consume less power? In my case, peak performance is not really important. This would allow me to further validate my thesis. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Hi. I am trying to start an Armbian flashed image. It is the main on the download page (both Buster and Focal). The Fire3 is lighing the red led and the green one but the screen is frozen on the U-boot first row as shown in the image attached here. Nothing appens. I burned the image with BalenaEtcher and Unetbootin. In both cases all the two images in the download page of the Fire3 are showing the same row at boot time. The images provided by the FriendlyElec website are working normally so there is not, for me, an hardware issue. I am building a SBC rack and I would like to install Armbian for all the boards. Thanks and sorry if I duplicete the thread but here is not eas…

Hi all, I have a few orange pi zero's and recently on 2 I had an issue with wifi AP that I am trying to properly understand. I have read some of the discussion regarding the wifi chip on the opi0 and that's not a great chip. I thoroughly agree with people that say that if you pay bottom dollar for a board, don't expect top dollar performance. And especially don't come complaining on a public FOSS forum. The only thing I am trying to do is understand the error and see if there is anything I can do to improve it. I use my orange pi zero's with a basic (custom) armbian image that starts up with a wifi AP briefly, so I can ssh in and do some config. Afterward…

Hey guys... Having a strange issue since a couple of days. We got a couple of new board (10) and all of them are using an eMMC of 64GB. For an unknown reason, some of them are unable to survive after the first update and reboot using the latest armbian 21.08! Either, it's not booting from SPI OR at some point we see strange thing as segfault when trying some program! We try to replace the eMMC but the same eMMC works perfectly in another rockpro64! I also try to install first the old image with kernel 4.4 and it will survive all the time until we upgrade to 5.10 and then it refuse to boot from SPI! EDIT: Did another…

Hello, I tried to use the power button on my Rock 4 C+ running Armbian 23.02.2 Bullseye with Linux 5.15.93-rockchip64. It is able to power off. But I can't boot up the controller. When I use the debian based radxa image the button works like expected.

I’m trying to set up a lightweight desktop environment on Armbian Trixie. When I use tasksel, it installs a lot of extra packages, including GNOME. How can I install LXQt manually?

Hello to everyone. Being new around here I figured to drop one message here first... So, i have this Radxa Rock 4D SBC and i am quite impressed with it Me being me and SBC being what it is, yada... yada, i now have this hat+ from Waveshare - it is an dual SATA to PCIe adapter. It was designed for the Raspberry pi 5 obviously but Radxa has since started putting those FPC connectors on and i really would appreciate a 24/7 NAS with a SBC footprint... Long story short, it does not work out of the box - i have no doubt the product is okay it's just the HAT fails to initiate the OS and register. It reportedly has an eprom with data o…

I'm kinda new here, and lets first say thank you for Armbian, it has kinda saved me from having to do a lot more work than I have had to, to get my Orange Pi 5 Plus to a state where it's really a pretty cool little test/experimental system... BUT, I wondered... since many of these devices have accessible PCIe in one form or another, and the Mali GPU is a bit of a blocker... Perhaps it would be good to build the kernel with the modules for open source GPUs for Mesa... AMDGPU, XE, and i915.. Currently I'm in this position... I know I could clone the project from GIT, and build my own kernel, but this seems like an obvious next step and I wonder how many other people would …

Long story short: Espressobin v7 1GB Armbian (Ubuntu Bionic 18.04) Kernel Mainline 5.4-rc4 (with custom userpatch (compiles fine)) U-Boot 2018.03-devel-18.12.3-gc9aa92c-armbian (Feb 20 2019 - 09:45:04 +0100) Without my Atheros AR9380 chipset (ath9k) wifi card inserted into the mPCIe, boots fine into Ubuntu from SD.

I just released Armbian Focal Desktop MAINLINE images for Khadas VIM3 Pro. These are individually, pure arm64 and hybrid arm64/armhf variations. Thanks go to @lanefu for key pointers in understanding how to "re-arm" the firstboot and firstboot-config mechanism in current-state Armbian. Please offer feedback and experiences if you test these. The images are currently hand-built, but if enough interest is generated, and time permitting, I will commit to a git fork for an unsupported standard building process. I have more detail on the distribution site at archive.org, and in the corresponding posts to the Khadas forums: …

I have a NanoPI M4 hooked up to a Uniroi 1024x600px HDMI screen running Armbian Buster 5.10.43-rockchip64 booting to a console (no X). My issue is, that the console resolution is set to 1024x768px after boot which makes the screen almost unreadable. Can I somehow fix the console resolution to 1024x600 (e.g. by setting some values in armbianEnv.txt or similar)?

armbian-config has significantly changed in Bookworm/Kernel 6.6. It looks to me that its not reflecting the actual device settings. Please refer to the attached screenshot from /boot/armbianEnv.txt.

Getting into buildroot and yocto seems a bit too much for me to get an A+B style update possibility. I would like to stick with the quality images provided by Armbian. The following applies to a NanoPi-NEO3 others SBC might have different partition layouts. From what I understood is that uboot looks for /boot in /dev/mmcblk0p1 reads the boot.cmd/scr and armbianEnv.txt and then boots the kernel accordingly. The armbianEnv.txt seems to point the kernel to the root partition using the rootdev directive. If /dev/mmcblk0p1 would now only hold /boot would it be possible to point to a different partition for the rootfs using armbianEnv.txt? …

Hi, the hardware in question: PCIe_TO_2-CH_SATA_HAT+ In expectation for the Rock 4D forum to arrive I am posting my issue here: The Rock 4D works and all is well The two SATA drives work over USB to SATA adapters - that is not ideal in the long term IMHO The HAT just arrived and i have no doubt in my mind that it can be defective in any way - i assume it is 100% operational. But when i connect it and plug the power in the Rock 4D boots, everything else works as usual, but the HAT just sits there without any signal. My questions: 1. How do i query the eeprom via the pins 27 & 28 (ID_SD & ID_SC), do i just enable the i2c_6 overlay? …

We need you to help us improve THS settings. In case you have a Banana Pi M2+, OPi One, Lite or NanoPi M1 without heatsink and are that experienced to build Armbian images on your own (requires an x86-64 PC/VM running Ubuntu 14.04 or 16.04) or install a new kernel using .debs as outlined below and also want to help developing better settings (less temperatures, more performance in throttling situations) then please read through this whole Github issue here: https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/issues/298 If you're not already too discouraged by this stuff then we ask you to build/install a new legacy kernel for Orange Pi H3 or Banana Pi M2+ and ensure /boot/script.bin …

The espressobin has three ethernet ports. In Ubuntu Armbian, left to right (looking into the ports), they're called "lan1", "lan0", and "wan". The weird thing is that you can't bring them up until you've *first* brought up eth0, which is not associated with a physical port. This causes all kinds of havoc trying to use /etc/network/interfaces/, because it takes a couple of seconds for eth0 to come up, in which time the other interfaces have already failed. 1) What is this mysterious eth0? 2) My attempts to bridge lan0 and lan1 from .../interfaces have failed. Got an example you can give me?

On Xenial A64 I added an entry for a LUKS partition into /etc/crypttab (after installing cryptsetup which added its stuff to uBoot). But at boot I don't get asked for a password If I add a timeout in crypttab, boot continues with a rescue console, if not it hangs forever. Other than that I have no clue what's going on, journalctl only shows "systemd-cryptsetup failed, status 1" obviously because no password was given. I also added dm-crypt to modules and called update-initramfs, but that didn't change anything

Hi guys, we are working on custom board based on A20, similar to Olinuxino MICRO. Our firmware is Buildroot based, with enabled Cryptodev and openssl with -DHAVE_CRYPTODEV, -DUSE_CRYPTODEV_DIGESTS. I know that we should not expect a drastic performance gain, but I wonder if this thing works at all, since I do not see any load on system level while the user space process still utilizes 100% of CPU on one core. Yes, openssl performance test reports some better numbers after "modprobe cryptodev", but not so good as other people report. I suspect that something is missing. I do not see interrupts with number assigned to crypto-engine in dts. crypto: crypto-engine@1c…

I am wanting to do bare programming of the A20. Does anyone have a memory map of the A20? I understand there are three types of memory used in the A20, including onboard non changeable memory.

Hello - I have attempted an install of Armbian Stetch on a Pinebook (non HD) with the latest image from https://www.armbian.com/pinebook-a64/. I can power on the pinebook and can SSH in, and have successfully installed to the internal emmc, however the screen does not come on. This pinebook readily works with other OS images I've attempted. I suspect I'm just missing something somewhat obvious, but I can't find reference to this issue elsewhere - how do I enable access via the screen/keyboard on the device itself? Thanks!

Hi, I am using Armbian 5.90 on an BananaPi as a RTL-TCP server for an RTL-SDR stick which plugs in the USB port. Everything work fine since more than a year. Now since one of the latest updates, the RTL-TCP server doesn't work anymore 24/7. After a while, I can not connect to the server anymore. I studied the logs and it seems, that kernel/udev/upowerd powers off the USB-port where the RTL-SDR stick is plugged. The stick reinitializes, but the binding of the stick to the running server gets lost. There seems to be something new to the kernel/system which cyclically drops the USB connection to my stick. Any ideas, how to …

Hey. I have a beer-brewing machine which has software running on an olimex A13-SOM board, that has a capacitive touch panel attached to it.
