Hi, I installed the Armbian OS on Rockchip 3399 platform, so far things seems to be working okay. I am looking on a project which required H.264 decode and color color conversion from NV12 - > BGRx. I am looking for a hardware acceleration module which I can use for the color conversion. it seems RGA seems to be a right choice for it. but I am not able to find /dev/rga device in Armbian OS. Can anyone tell me how to enable the RGA support ? It seems kernel config has is enabled but I am not sure what is missing. Any help is appreciated. thanks

Hello everyone! I'm trying to use a small SPI LED screen with my ROC-RK3328-CC. I've scoured all over this website as well as the internet for information on enabling SPI on my ROC-RK3328-CC (libre renegade), and I'm sorry to say after trying so many things, I still cannot get it enabled.

Hi there. I have some audio project on different SOM/SOC boards, now my task is to bring an i2s DAC on RK3399. I use external high-quality clock for i2s and need to make the Rockchip the masterclock slave. This is the case where I find no tail to pull yet, due to VERY cumbersome device tree, poorly documented and poorly explored. For instance, the CPU datasheet says that I2S_MCLK is output only, whilst I could find the opposite in the TRM. Moreover, the clock tree explained there, says that I can use CLKIN_I2S not only for i2s interfaces, but for spdif also! (Also there is explained some "bitclock slave mode", it's even implemented in the DAI driver,…

Hello, I'm attempting to port an unknown rk3399 board to Linux from Android with kernerl 4.4. I managed to extract the devicetree and it's slowly coming along with poking arround and mixing and matching and comparing devicetrees (it's not easy but I got time ;-) ) The board uses a tc358775 converter for the lvds display since the rk3399 doesn't have one built in. With patch from here: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16747-orange-pi-4-kernel-510y-mipi-dsi-panel-sucessful/ it started to show some signs of life. The screen is lighting up seems to have activities but it's just showing bars. I'm not sure if it's a timing issues, but I used…

Hi, I am new with Rockchip. I use Raspberry Pi earlier. I try make Python(3.5) program from remote PyCharm using Kivy (Win7). My problem is somewhere in OpenGL ES extension.

hello. first i want to say thank you to every armbian supporter and the hole team. thanks for providing this nice project and your work. i did some work for adding an external sound card - the audioinjector pi stereo, which is based on a wm8731. i used the radxa rockpi4(b) board based on the rk3399. i choose this board because of pinout header is nearly the same as the one you find on raspberrys. so adding/ using raspberry Hats won´t be too hart in this case. this will also work with radxa kernel https://github.com/verplant23/kernel so there shouldn´t be any troubles porting it to armbian legacy. i´m not a coder and i don´t kno…

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

RK3399 which is running Ubuntu operating system is not identifying USB camera as CAPTURE device. So I am not able to use command line utilities like ffmpeg to capture the video data from device.

is there any news about supporting for rk3399pro’ npu on kernel5.4(or mainline)?

Hi , I am unable to boot my RK3568 board and cannot get it into MaskROM mode for recovery. The boot process fails with a "Synchronous Abort" in U-Boot SPL during DDR initialization. The device gets stuck in a boot loop. It starts DDR training (`ddrconfig:0`) but fails with a Data Abort exception. Standard methods to enter MaskROM /Loader have not worked. I have attached the full serial log (Boot_log.txt). Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Boot_log.txt

Hello Armbian community I just acquired a Raxda Rock 3A with a Raxda Wireless module A8 (RTL8852BE) card. The Ubuntu distribution from Raxda seems to work pretty well, but it's not very recent, which is why I wanted to try Armbian! The current version (Armbian 23.02 Jammy Kernel 6.1.y, Size: 579Mb, Release date: Feb 27, 2023) seems to work, but I have two questions: 1) No wifi, the card is not detected (probably a driver issue, it works with the official OS), if there are members who have solved this? 2) I haven't seen much information on setting up a boot from an nvme storage, have you tried this? Have a g…

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.

Hello everyone, I was going to purchase Rock Pi 4 model B+ (with WiFi/BT and eMMC chip). I see that Rock Pi 4 family is supported by Armbian (https://www.armbian.com/rockpi4/), however, there is no mention of models A+ and B+. There are just A, B and C+. Could you please confirm/refute that Rock Pi 4 B+ is supported by Armbian and point me to the image for that model?

This is for those experiencing a similar issue on the Rock Pi 4B (possibly RK3399 in general) who don't have a fix yet. On Armbian Focal current for the Rock Pi 4B the sound from both HDMI and the audio jack stopped working and became undetectable to the system (Both Pulse-audio and ALSA couldn't detect anything except hdmi-sound and even then HDMI sound did not work). I fixed the issue by rolling back to the latest "current" kernel version in armbian-config (5.10.63-rockchip64). Now the system sound has gone back to normal.

I installed both earlier and the latest Armbian stretch service versions. Couldn't boot from the micro SD cards. Tried several different micro SD cards too. Nothing showed through HDMI. The red LED on board was double blinking. The board can boot from all three official images.

Hi! After update to kernel 5.15.75 via apt upgrade, boot fails. Though I can flash an older image, I would prefer trying to recover existing setup and rollback to a previous kernel.

I'm trying to get Armbian running on a Rock Pi S, but my custom builds aren't booting (see output below). I can successfully boot with the Buster image from here, but I need a custom custom build that will eventually include a few added scripts and be flashed to the NAND flash on the board, instead of using an SD card.

Hi I've just downloaded Armbian_21.02.3_Rock64_buster_current_5.10.21.img.xz for my Rock64 and flashed the image to a microSD card using BalenaEtcher. Over the last couple of days I've been writing a menu based script that creates a shutdown script to spin down HDDs during the shutdown phase on Linux based SoC PC. The reason behind the script is to get around an apparent problem whereby HDDs are forcefully being shut off when SoC PCs power off. I have posted this problem myself on the Open Media Vault forums, I have come across it here on the Armbian forums, the ODROID forums and also the Stack Exchange forums. During my script development and test…

A month or two back, when I installed Armbian, I had to revert to an older kernel, 5.10.63-rockchip64, which has known vulnerabilities. I needed to be able to boot off of a USB 3 HDD, so I had to revert it and hold updates for the kernel/kernel headers. These are the commands I used to revert to the older kernel: sudo apt install linux-dtb-current-rockchip64=21.08.2 linux-image-current-rockchip64=21.08.2 sudo apt-mark hold linux-dtb-current-rockchip64 linux-image-current-rockchip64 Fast forward to today, where the issue with USB 3 has been apparently resolved in the latest kernel, I tried to unhold the kernel/kernel header updates, that seemed to work. …

Hi ! I spent several hours looking for the solution, here and elsewhere, I didn't find. The Radxa wiki speaks about 2 SPI: 1 and 2 The device tree README speaks about 4 SPI: SPI 0 pins (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS): GPIO3_A5, GPIO3_A4, GPIO3_A6, GPIO3_A7 SPI 1 pins (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS): GPIO1_A7, GPIO1_B0, GPIO1_B1, GPIO1_B2 SPI 2 pins (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS): GPIO1_C0, GPIO1_B7, GPIO1_C1, GPIO1_C2 SPI 3 pins (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS): GPIO2_B2, GPIO2_B1, GPIO2_B3, GPIO2_B4 So, the correspondence seems to be: radxa SPI 1 <=> DT SPI 1 radxa SPI2 <=> DT SPI 3 With the latest kernel (5.10.12-rockchip64, Deb…

Hi, I used to run a full docker environment using the Radxa Debian buster image upgraded to bullseye.

After flashing the latest Rockpi4 image to the Rockpi4, I copied the docker configuration and files backups. I now have a akward behavior: - starting all the stacks (or containers) works fine, all seems ok - rebooting via sudo reboot provokes an endless reboot cycle which is only ended if I unplug the USB Zigbee coordinator key. Once the loop is stopped, the RockPi does not have any IPv4 address (only IPv…

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…

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…

Hi all, I enjoy Armbian overall and appreciate the support that goes into its upkeep. I previously used the ayufan images but found that those were updated less frequently than I desired and I've wanted to run OpenMediaVault 5.x + and Python3.x+ which have major issues with the Debian 9/Stretch and Kernel 4.x and run better on kernel 5.x and newer. After reinstalling Armbian on a new SD card and porting my old system over from that image, everything generally works well, however there have been some slow-downs. I have the NAS-style enclosure case and two 6 TB 3.5" HDDs. I have checked the thermals and the system runs at a around 60 - 68 degrees C. …

I have installed clean CLi option of Armbian_21.08.1_Rockpro64_focal_current_5.10.60.img from the archives I have fully apt updated/upgrade OS and now am at 5.15.25-rockchip64 I noticed there was no sound coming out of the HMDI only from 3.5mm Jack Alsamixer has: (volume bar with up/down instead of 1 increments jumps 0>28>56>100 - I d like to fix this) Pulsemixer (CLi) solved my problem by simply while playing an audio stream/file I swapped (made default the bottom Built-in Audio Stereo) Also on Cards tab (use tab to move keys F1-F3 didnt work for me neither on Tink…

Hi, we are trying to get the MIPI-CSI interfaces work on our RockPro64 with this being the current status: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3360#issuecomment-1029773735 Here's the question: has anyone been able to get this to work with kernel 5.X yet, and if so how? I'm pretty familiar with kernel experiments, but research on a working example aside of some old Android stuff gives actually nothing... Best Clemens

Hi all, I'd love to run my sas2008 card on armbian. Im currentky testing the ayufan 0.10.12 build and it is working with my sas cards flawlessly even with sas expanders and 16x hdd attached. https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-build/releases On armbian or any other release for that matter there is insufficient boot wait time for to card, i believe these cards take around 400ms to boot with bios rom deleted. The patch provides 1 second wait time. Working kernel patch is here thats been pulled into the above release https://github.com/nuumio/rp64-linux-mainline-kernel/releases any chance of having this incor…

I've tried the latest CLI and GUI images. I tried different microSD cards but the result is the same. Both images get to Booting using the fdt blob and never progress. Is there anything I can try to get this working?

I hardly dare fo ask: is there anybody out there having root FS on ZFS?

Hello. I am a real newbie at Linux and so I really need your help. I set up a new odroid N2+ with Open Media Vault, and it doesn't show anything. I'm assuming that the id/password I used wasn't the admin id/password. So, I used Putty to get into my new machine, and I used the following to change the password of "root": root@odroidn2:~# passwd root New password: Retype new password: passwd: password updated successfully root@odroidn2:~# exit However, I couldn't sign in to OMV with that id:root and the password that I just changed it to.

Hiya I just received a free Roseapple Pi board and seeing as it uses the same SoC as the LeMaker Guitar was wondering if there could their be an Armbian build for it please? Many Thanks Lemonzest

Hi I've just set up the Roseapple Pi with Armbian (legacy server Debian). As I often find (over a range of monitors) there's an overscan so bad I can't see the "login" instructions at the bottom of the screen... on all sides the text is off the edge of the screen. For the life of me I can't see WHERE to adjust the overscan - can anyone help. Pete.

Hi, I installed RetrOrangePi ( which is built on Armbian ) on my Orange Pi Zero 2 Plus H3. I have used display from car monitor via TV out. I successfully set resolution, but I found out that the display has better viewing angles when it's rotated 180°. Is there any way how to rotate screen?

Hello! First of all. Sry if this was already menationed ins some thread. I tried to find the solution here I am using a ROCKPI E. I switchted my OS from Ubutnu to ARMBIAN 23.8 Bookworm.

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.

Good morning, I am trying to get a UART to RS485 converter to work on the UART2. The RX Pin is PA1, TX is PA0 and the direction Pin is PA6. How can I activate it in the system, do I have to activate something in the armbianENV.txt? I have overlays = uart2 Some help? Thanks and best regards! Lewis

Hi, From a quick search of the forum this appears to be happening across different CPUs so I am posting here rather in the H3 forum. Using the current updated legacy version. ARMBIAN 5.36 Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 3.4.113-sun8i /var/log/syslog gets repeated messages due to xconsole not being installed.

Do i need a new kernel or something because if i plug in my wifi Adapter it says no firmware

Hello, I would like to get RT Kernel, but i am not able to do it. I have downloaded the patch file: patch-5.4.19-rt11.patch And I copy this file in the following folder: build/userpatches/kernel/sunxi-current Now, I create the following file: build/userpatches/lib.config And i add this sentence: KERNELBRANCH='tag:v5.4.19' and I run compile.sh But it doesn't work. I think there are 2 different errors: one for compiling for an specific kernel version, and the other one for loading the RT patch file.

First of All... Great job on this Distro very much appreciated. Thanks. I have a goal of running a real-time kernel on a H3 (NanoPi Neo preferably and or M1). Ultimate goal is to be able to run MachineKit on one of these (headless on Neo). MachineKit requires a real-time kernel with RT_PREEMPT being the preferred choice it seems. There are patches available for the kernel for 4.6 and 4.8. so we look to tracking close to the mainline with 4.7.6 considering 4.8 released on Oct 2nd. I tried patching the Armbian Kernel and not unexpectedly I got a number of conflicts with previous patches and some rejects. I am looking for some guidance here as to the best way t…

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

Hello all. I'm obviously a newbie to this all and have a Libre Le Potato I just purchased. Put in Armbian Bullseye and got everything configured so my Python script runs on boot and writes the data it records by sending a byte string through the USB port to a device and records the parsed response. All is well there, but I needed to add an RTC to this and I have many DS3231 boards that I've integrated with Arduino boards recently and they all work well. I've soldered the connections to the 3.3V, GND, SDA, and SCK pins and matched those to the GPIO pins 1, 9, 3, and 5 respectively. I've gone into 'armbian-config' and enabled…

For any one interested in software defined radio the OrangePi.pc and Armbian 5.05 software is a killer combination. The extra horsepower of the Allwinner H3 quad core and the clean Armbian Linux implementation give you a great platform for Software defined Radio. The $10 low cost RTL2838 dongle has an enormous amount to offer. But plugging it into a big computer laptop is not always practical It is often better to put the RTL2838 dongle as close to the antenna as possible. This could mean a long USB cable and voltage drop issues. So now you can buy a $9.99 Orange Pi.one and use it as a RTL to ethernet/ opt.wifi extender. You "just" Plug the RTL2838…

Having a hard time getting RTL8188EU WiFi dongle to work on orange pi pc 2. I’ve spent weeks trying to figure this out reading on the internet and a few posts on this forum.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi!, I just bought my orangepi pc and also installed Armbian desktop. I also bought a wifi dongle with rtl8188gu chip. Is there any steps on how to use this to connect to my network?

Hello guys, I have a NOVAsom M7+ board with a RTL8723bs module with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth integrated. The Wi-Fi works normally and without problems, however the Bluetooth isn't detected at all. When I try to open the Bluetooth Manager app gives me this error: "Connection to BlueZ failed. BlueZ daemon is not running. blueman-manager cannot continue. This probably means that there were no Bluetooth adapters detected or Bluetooth daemon was not started". I already searched the internet and found some people with problems related to this module and Bluetooth, does anyone know how to solve this? Best regards

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.

Hi, I'm trying to use orange Pi PC+ as router with AWUS036ACS rtl8811au wireless card. I did benchmarks on PC with ubuntu 16.04 and driver from github (8812au version 4.3.20-beta). I can achieve max throughput possible on speedtest at very close range (120Mbit). Same driver on orange pi mainline Armbian Stretch and barely can hit 10Mbit mark. Tried different drivers and default driver from kernel tree which is version 5.15 and results are the same, miserable. I have 2nd orange pi with legacy kernel, tried only one driver that I could compile there (4.2.2) and results are somehow better but still far from PC. Any ideas where this bottleneck could c…

Hello, More of an FYI for anyone else hitting the same issue. Booted my board up for the first time in a year or two, wifi working fine but then sudo update && sudo dist-upgrade && shutdown -r now Now wifi does not work on the new kernel 5.10. Seems the 8812au driver which has morphed into 88XXau but XX no longer includes 14. Instead there's a new driver git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8814au.git apt install build-essential linux-headers-current-rockchip64 ARCH=arm64 make dkms_install modprobe 8814au Now wifi works again

How can I avoid this reboot prompt, and just proceed with the reboot immediately? e.g. the Raspberry Pi OS raspi-config tool allows for the nonint parameter to be passed: raspi-config nonint enable_overlayfs The intent is to automate enabling of the read-only fs.

Hi, Can I use this guide to run armbian on a SSD on a tinkerboard and then install Homeassistant? Until now I run hass.io. I'm trying to run it on an SSD to prevent SD card corruption again. Since HA will run on a docker, could I just run docker from SSD and keep armbian on sdcard? Which option would you think is better? Thank you

Hey the first time i tried armbian on tronsmart android box with sdcard , it was so seamless and so awesome. I am wondering if anyone has tried armbian on any android tablet. And it would be nice to support any of these tablets out there. In that way you don't have to worry about separate hdmi tv or monitor and accessories to use armbian. I always believe that arm's edge is in mobility, sleek and being minimal .
