In Alsamixer its missing the master volume. In older legacy images it was there and driver seemed to be a tinker rockchip driver? Any idea how to enable the master volume slider? If I increase volume in USB sound card (headphones) then no sound comes out at HDMI and only way to restore is to purge deb of pulseaudio and alsa and re-install. There are some errors also the moment i log into cli if I do above. If reproduced ill post here (update). Similar error posted on another topic/board If i test `aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav` its ok. After any change to alsamixer nothing comes out The errors that started after ch…

Hallo my odroid C2 shutdown during the night. i can see it always on the next day, when the ssl connection is disconnected. Is there any log file, where i can see, if there was any problem? thank you

I have an Odroid-C1+ running some version of Armbian (I forget the details, exactly) - it's been happily working for a while, but recently that board went dead. I finally got a serial console on it, and captured the output below. Pretty clearly, something is wrong, and it being a cheap flash card, I bet the card itself is going bad. My real question: does anyone have a good suggestion how I can recover anything there is to recover from the SD card before setting up a new one? It's been long enough since I set up this device that I'd prefer not to start from scratch if I can avoid it. I'm not much of a Linux guy (usually NetBSD/MacOS), but I do have a U…

Best regards Alyd

In need of direct link for desktop download: bananapi M3 I started trying to find it with wiki and links there. Simply, not finding a link specifically for the download and nothing else. I use to use orangepi, debian buster. So i "guess" i am looking for a debian desktop for bpi. thanks.

I reinstalled my OrangePi5 with a newly built debian12 based image and in the middle of setting up the third one I lost SSH connection. Now I have 2 OPi5 with the Armbian MOTD and whatever unseen setup that occurs behind the scenes and a third one where I manually configured locales and tzdata. Is there a way to re-run that first login script manually? Thanks

On my NanoPi Neo Air it seems there is no pull up resistors on I2C (SDA, SCL). Is it possible to enable pull-up on these pins in a DTS overlay (either the standard i2c dtb or in a user overlay)? If so could anyone give me an example of how to do that...I have tried to understand the dts files but failed.

How to adjust the resolution of the armbian so that the display would fit I'm using a 3.2" ILI9341 TFT LCD I also followed this tutorial https://mobile4dev.blogspot.com/2017/09/orange-pi-pc-tft-ili9341.html

Hello there! What solutions to install ubuntu with kernel 3.10 or higher to Cubietruck Plus with H8 chip? Thank you all.

I've built Armbian for my purposes with the following build settings: ./compile.sh BOARD="bananapi" BRANCH="current" RELEASE="focal" \ KERNEL_ONLY="no" KERNEL_CONFIGURE="no" BUILD_DESKTOP="no" EXTERNAL="yes" \ INSTALL_HEADERS="yes" .. and the board boots from the resulting image just fine, and seems to be running well. Now, I want to clone a repo onto this board, and use the ONBOARD compiler for development purposes .. I'm doing some CAN development, and I want to use SocketCan (https://github.com/jackthompsonnz/socketcan-linux-5.0.git) which is a kernel module for gaining access to a USB-CAN adapter. So I connect to it, clon…

I am using Armbian 23.5 Jammy XFCE on a Tinker Board 2S. I have a number of issues to sort, one of them being display. The display is receiving a 16:9 signal, but the right hand side of the screen is covered by a black-white-green pattern under which I can move windows (image attached). How can I change the settings to avoid this?

I did enable Hotspot in armbian-config and that creates 172.24.1.1 for the WLAN adapter and 172.24.1.50 - 172.24.1.150 for DHCP. I want to change it to 172.29.2.1 First thing i did was changing the dnsmasq.conf to: interface=wlx647002073fb2 # Use interface wlx647002073fb2 listen-address=172.29.2.1 # Explicitly specify the address to listen on bind-interfaces # Bind to the interface to make sure we aren't sending things elsewhere domain-needed # Don't forward short names bogus-priv # Never forward addresses in the non-routed address spaces dh…

I had a hard time to figure out how to set the input pull-up on GPIO 1 of the NanoPi neo2. In the end it appeared to be extremely simple, but in order to help other beginners I like to share how I accomplished it. 1) I created a dts file with the input pull-up definition for GPIO 1 2) I compiled the dts with the "armbian-add-overlay" tool 3) rebooted the NanoPi Neo2 That's it. The dts file can be placed anywhere on the Nanopi Neo2 eg. /home/pi/sun50i-h5-nanopi-neo2-pullup.dts nano /home/pi/sun50i-h5-nanopi-neo2-pullup.dts The content of sun50i-h5-nanopi-neo2-pullup.dts looks like this: /dts-v1/; …

So using the old sysfs (/sys/class/gpio/) interface, you "export" a gpio by spitting the gpio number into /sys/class/gpio/export. The GPIO number depends on the board and relevant documentation. Having once found that I need GPIO number 76, I'm migrating code to the new "gpio character device" interface (/dev/gpiochipn) on my Rock64. However, "gpioinfo" shows that hardly any gpios have useful labels, and Google searches always turn up Raspberry Pi results. So, can I just calculate the new gpio identify? Old gpio is 76, all /dev/gpiochips have 32 lines, 76/32 = 2 rem 12, so old gpio 76 is now /dev/gpiochip2 line 12? Edit: I tried this…

https://armbian.lv.auroradev.org/apt/pool/bullseye-utils/h/htop/ Nothing there. Just running basic ... apt-get update && apt-get upgrade ... upon initial install, and it fails with "failed to fetch" (404) from whatever apt.armbian.com mirror it selects (of 2 or 3 observed). Held it back with apt-mark, removed it, and built from source using deb-src. Doesn't seem to be any problems or issues running htop built from deb-src, so, not sure why its needed in the Armbian source repositories ???

Hey, I basically need the LXC Kernel modul for the lxccu homematic software. Is this already included in the newer kernel drivers for the available debian or do I need armbian? I'm not 100% sure what the differences for armbian and debian are? Could someone explain that to me? thx! Cheers Btw: Is the Allwinner R8(m) also supported? I'm just starting to build up the community for the $9 computer CHIP which uses this processor. Would be great to have some more ways in building kernels. I really need to config my own kernel there to included touch screen drivers. Is this possible with the armbian too?

Hello, I use an Orange Pi 3 H6 with Armbian 20.05.2 Buster (5.8.0-sunxi64) The wifi has been configured as host. A Canon Selphy CP1200 printer has been connected to it. When I launch a print, the task is created, appears in progress for a time, then an error message indicates the printer does not answer. The printer works fine when connected by usb but it is more easy for me to connect it through wifi. Can somebody help me please ?

I tried to reach out for help, but maybe in the wrong channel. ➝ Is it possible to move a post from «bug tracker» to «Community forums»? My post:

Hi to everyone, I'm a newbie in using python for sensors and pins, so I'm using Orange Pi Lite (h3) and i installed pyA20 but i can't find mfrc522 library ( i mean that code we import, my English is not very good ) that use pyA20, so is there any library you know? Or i have to make one? And if i have to make one, would you please help me with basics? Thanks 🙏

## Description After a fresh installation of Armbian for Rockchip64 (Rock 3A), the system ships with `linux-image-current-rockchip64` version **26.2.1** (kernel 6.18.8), but the corresponding `linux-headers-current-rockchip64` package for version 26.2.1 is **not available** in the public APT repositories. This prevents installation of kernel headers required for DKMS modules, out-of-tree drivers, or any kernel module compilation. ## Steps to Reproduce 1. Flash the latest Armbian image for `rock-3a` (branch: `current`) from the official download page. 2. Boot the device and connect to the network. 3. Run `apt update` with any standard mirror (e.g., `mirro…

For what it's worth: I managed to compile VICE (classic commodore computer emulators) on my roseapple pi board running Armbian. I could not find it in the repository, so I started fiddling myself. This to address some nostalgic feelings which come by so now and then! Recipe in the spoiler.... Compiling and installation is pretty straight forward: 1) Download VICE 2.4 source-code from http://vice-emu.sourceforge.net/ 2) xvzf vice-2.4.tar.gz 3) cd vice-2.4 4) sudo apt-get install build-essential libvte-dev libasound2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgnome2-dev 5) make 6) sude make install 7) start your trip down to memory lane with: vsid - the SID player x64 - the …

I know how to work with GPIO though the /sys interface, but that's not fast enough for my application. Is there a faster interface for working with GPIO on the H3, similar to the fast GPIO on the RPi. I believe fast GPIO on the RPi manipulates GPIO though a memory map interface. Is that possible with the H3. Has anyone done it?

Hi, again: my sdcard was killed by power failure! my system runs on SATA: current buster on cubietruck, boot sequence ->sdcard->sda1 Thus a new sdcard is prepared. I want to save the root on sda1, but tweak the new sdcard to use sda1 root. If I start the armbian-config script for BOOT from "SD - SYSTEM on SATA" my existing sda1 will be overwritten - right? How to fix the new sdcard for using the existing sda1? Holger

Hi This issue is produced on both flavors of Linux for the orange pi zero i.e. Debian and Ubuntu. I am trying to login to pi zero using the serial terminal. First time it asks me to change the password, which I changed. Then using that changed password I tried to login into it. However, whenever I enter the password in it. it restarts. I even used the external high power phone charger to test this issue but in both cases result was same. Any solution to this problem?

Hello! How to show boot.bmp instead U-Boot log? Default Armbian inage only show ERROR that bmp is 8 bit but must be 32 bit. What wrong?

Hi all, this is somewhat odd. I am using the nextcloudpi image NextCloudPi_Rock64_03-28-20.img. I believe it uses armbian (I am really not an expert sorry) and my problem is really not nextcloud related i believe. I had to cut the power to the rock64. Then i rebooted. The system clock is set to some early date (2016-xx-yy). Therefore the unmount is in the future causing an fsck. It fails miserably and drops to initramfs (where i really am lost). I don't think this should happen. I dont have a rtc battery - maybe this wouldnt be an issue if there was one attached? I hope someone can tell me how to progress or how to provide better insight …

I am trying to update a Lamobo R1 with armbian 5.31 it's kernel from source. I have compiled and installed it (v5.9)I have also updated the initramfs, but still when I boot I see on screen with uname-r the older kernel 4.9.7. Is there any other thing I'm missing so the bootloader boots with the newest installed kernel?

Hi, I am searching to make a service running automatically at boot. I edited the .bash_profile and I added the command line service. In the OrangePi Pc2 and in the NanoPi Fire3 SOCs the procedure is perfectly working. In Orange Pi Zero Plus2 (with Armbian) this procedure doesn't work. Could you please help me to let start a procedure at boot? Thanks.

Hi i'm using the "Win32DiskImager" to backup my sd card(8GB), file size almost 8GB after read from sd card. my question is, how to backup sd cad into image file and get small file size also. like downloaded form " armbian" web . Board: Orange Pi Zero

Hi guys, I am using bluetooth (AP6212) and it works pretty well. After several hour of open connection I lost signal and need to reconnect. But I can't. Bluetoothctl returns "No default controller available", however one minute before it worked I tried to restart bluetooth service, rfkill (soft and hardware does not lock anything) , but the problem still exist. Only reboot can back the module to work. Is there any other way to restart the module without reboot?

I have been following a project on git hub and none of the commands work like the project as I have Armbian Focal installed. I need Armbian Bionic with Linux opiz2b 4.19.57-sunxi #5.90 SMP or 4.19.127-sunxi. I realise this is from 2019 and may be too old now to do anything with it. Is it possible to still get this? I can only find minimal versions in the archives that are much newer than this. I have to state here that I am a complete novice at this and so really have no idea what I am doing.

Hi I am looking to download the u-boot files for my espressobin that should be here: https://dl.armbian.com/espressobin/u-boot/ as pointed out by https://www.armbian.com/espressobin/ but they've been giving 404 for a while.

I have a Nanopi R2s but this is generic to most boards without an inbuilt battery backed RTC. I have added a battery backed 1307 module on the I2C bus and gone through the process of getting it recogised and used. As far as it goes that's fine. The problem is the RTC is only read late in the boot process so the first part of the syslog record has incorrect date and time. Is there any way to force systemd to process the 1307 at the very start? I tried hacking the non-battery backed RTC script but it didn't take. Another option is to get the pre-systemd processes to read from the 1307 and set the inbuilt RTC before systemd starts using it? …

Hello everybody, and thank you Igor for developing, and the community for supporting amrbian, it's really a marvel and works like a charm on my Orange PC. I also apologise beforehand for my lack of experience or knowledge with linux. So, I setup my OPi PC to work as an always-on torrent box using jessie dekstop. I installed transmission on it and it works great, except one thing that causes me problems. I download and seed to torrents on a 64 gb sandisk usb flash key, and every time I reset the device, the usb key gets mounted at a new mount point. For instance, if I set up transmission to use /sandisk/downloads folder to download, it does fine, but after a reset, the os…

Hi, I know that the cubieboard2 is quite old, but I also got the impression from the forum that there should be a NAND support available somehow. Is there anybody who could give me a hint what I need to do to activate the NAND on the latest armbian-buster image? That would help me a lot .

Trying to download armbian for rockpi-4a, following the link https://redirect.armbian.com/rockpi-4a/ on https://www.armbian.com/rock-pi-4/ In one case, this resolves to https://mirrors.netix.net/armbian/dl/rockpi-4a/, which shows an empty directory except for an archive subdirectory that is empty too. clicking around through the armbian/dl folder, this seems to be only empty directories for any board. In another case, the redirect resolves to https://minio.k-space.ee/armbian which just returns XML gibberish.

I've got Bananapi M1 with broken sd card detect pin (pad is delaminated and I cannot solder it to ground). In the past I was able to mitigate this issue by patching file \linux-mainline\linux-4.14.y\arch\arm\boot\dts\sun7i-a20-bananapi.dts and replacing "cd-gpios...." line with "broken-cd;" . This fix does not work anymore with current stable image (kernel linux-5.15.y). Does anyone know how else to solve it? Does u-boot (Bananapi-defconfig) need to be modified as well?

The /sbin/armbian-install script that ships in Armbian_22.08.7_Odroidn2_bullseye_current_5.19.17_minimal.img.xz has a couple of faulty lsblk arguments that cause it to exit instead of allowing the user to select the installation target partition. The script works properly after both instances of the string MOUNTPOINTS are changed to MOUNTPOINT which is easily done with sed -ie s/MOUNTPOINTS/MOUNTPOINT/ /sbin/armbian-install

Hello, I installed armbian on my board and decided to attach HDD to move rootfs on it. So I used script which you provide nand-sata-install. It worked as expected but not sure why it kept /boot still on SDcard? I do understand that uboot needs to be still on SDcard present, but uboot should be able to find /boot directory also on HDD partition, right? Or is there some compatibility issue, why this approach was decided? My concerns are if sdcard dies, i need to recreate not only uboot but also /boot. JV

Quick question for the Banana Pro builds. I've tested with stable Armbian Bionic and Stretch. By default DHCP is disabled on eth0, so the following lines must be added to /etc/network/interfaces to get it to work: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp But, official docs (section Common features) state: Is having DHCP disabled for ethernet by default the expected behaviour for that board ?

For example: I would expect to see some net traffic stats because /etc/default/armbian-motd uses the default setting PRIMARY_DIRECTION="rx" and the package "vnstat" is installed and "vnstat -i eth0" return correct output. I also tried changing PRIMARY_DIRECTION line to ="both" but I don't get any…

Hi, Now that I have my NanoPC-T4 working with hardware 3D acceleration, 1080p video playback, full development environment on NVMe, Think it's time for a backup. Has anyone found a usefull utility ? Or should I just use dd to dump the eMMC partions to image files on a USB attached drive and rsync to backup the NVMe the the same ? I'd imagine to restore just boot from an install image, don't install, just dd the images to their repective eMMC partitions and rysnc to restore. Has anyone had to restore a board and how well did your solution work for you ?

i need to build armbian for multiple boards. is there way to do this? every board has its own kernel config and different install files set and the same cache files. for disk space economy

Hi, I have a problem with rc.local I found an error rc-local.service: Control process exited, code=exited, status=4/NOPERMISSION Can someone help ?

Hallo liebe Community, ich versuche, da es kein aktuelles jammy release für meinen M1 gibt, eines mit Ubuntu zu erstellen. So wie es in der Dokumentation beschrieben ist. Allerdings kommt immer wieder ein abbruch: ERROR in function install_deb_chroot Und dann wird der Prozess terminiert. Warum funktioniert das denn nicht?

I'm a beginner and I'm really afraid that my work won't be wasted and I won't have to set everything up from scratch again. I installed on the BPI-M5 Armbian_25.2.1_Bananapim5_noble_current_6.12.13_ubuntu-server. But I need the server to simply log in when it reboots and start working without my participation. Please tell me if it would be correct to set up autologin as described below??? Step-by-step manual configuration of autologin, user "pi" Step 1: Verify that the pi user exists If you haven't created a pi user yet, do it.: sudo adduser pi If there is already a user, proceed to the next step. Step 2: Create an ov…

I remember trying to install a usb wifi dongle in the past and while it gave me lots of headaches, i did manage to make it work. It's been a while since i used wifi (it's been a while since i used the SBC too to be honest). Today i decided to power it up at least just to update it. When it was installing kernel related stuff, it gave an error stating it couldn't build the 8192cu module (or something like that), the specific log says scripts/Makefile.build:432: recipe for target '/var/lib/dkms/8192cu/1.10/build/8192cu.o' failed make[1]: *** [/var/lib/dkms/8192cu/1.10/build/8192cu.o] Error 1 Makefile:1368: recipe for target '_module_/var/lib/dkms/8192cu/1.10/b…

Armbian Version: Armbian_23.5.1_Orangepi3-lts_jammy_current_6.1.30_gnome_desktop While hosting a Discord bot on my Orange Pi 3 LTS, Armbian sleeps on its own after a certain amount of time. This UI is so unique to me, I've got no clue how to barely do anything other than through the Terminal. Sorry for the simple question, but I can't find answers anywhere. Thank you!

Hi. Some time ago I had problems installing this Wi-Fi dongle on my Orange Pi PC but I got help here and I managed to install it. But now I can not install it on my ORANGE PI ONE doing the same thing with the latest Jammy software for the board. All the kernel headers are installed but when I hit sudo dkms install ./rtl8188fu I receive: Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/rtl8188fu/1.0/source -> /usr/src/rtl8188fu-1.0 Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 6.1.47-current-sunxi cannot be found. Please install the linux-headers-6.1.47-current-sunxi package or use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located. I don't know…

busybox or busybox-static package is needed for update initramfs must run after kernel updates. The busybox-static package is missing on the Tinkerboard and Odroid C2 image (may be others). I filed a bug report here: [busybox or busybox-static is needed for update initramfs · Issue #1124 · armbian/build · GitHub](https://github.com/armbian/build/issues/1124#issuecomment-427852788) Apparently it was not the right place.

Hello, since my good friend and favorite tinkerer Olgierd wanted to run this http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-44-Red-Serial-128X128-SPI-Color-TFT-LCD-Module-Display-Replace-Nokia-5110-LCD-/262136737086?hash=item3d08912d3e%3Ag%3AwyQAAOSwoydWoYhX on his OPi, but the drivers aren't in the 3.4 kernel I did that https://github.com/SvenKayser/Sambooca-Kernel-H3/commit/3511b0d142f4632f77cd1d82bae08bc584f54805.patch It isn't art, but it's working (or so he said). Alright, there seems to be a timing issue when loading the module for the first time.... Feel free to use it to your repo if you feel like using it. Regards Sven

Hello everyone, I have some problems with the example of the ir receiver on a Nanopi M1 usign the geany editor with the debian jessie 3.4.... provided by friendlyarm, I decided to modify the original demo program to match de embedded ir receiver but when I try to ececute the program, the information that I have until now is: The version of geany is: 1.24.1 The response of the console when I try to run the program is: ./geany_run_script.sh: 5: ./geany_run_script.sh: ./Matrix-ir_receiver: Permission denied ------------------ (Program exited with code: 126) Press return to continue after that I press Enter and the terminal closes.

Hello, I am trying to connect an enc28j60 ethernet port to spi1.0 on an orange pi zero, running armbian (Armbian Focal 5.10.4) (yeah, I need another ethernet port and I wan't to buy another orange pi R1 version. why not?) (Doesn't SPI 0.0 avalible on the divice? I have the jumpers all connected in what I believe is the correct pattern. I turned spi, download(https://github.com/armbian/sunxi-DT-overlays/blob/master/examples/spi-enc28j60.dts), replace spi0 to spi1 and compiled the overlay for the enc28j60 on h3 and added to /boot/overlay-user/ with command rmbian-add-overlay spi-enc28j60.dts.

just downloaded orange-pi-3-lts's latest debian bookworm available on your website I found out that apt sources includes a reference to a beta repository didn't expect that and I'd rather prefer to avoid beta... what's better: just comment out the beta updates or build a custom image not containing betas?

Can anyone directed me how to install Armbian on my Utilite pro im a total beginner tia

Not sure exactly where to post this, or how to ask it, but here goes... In the 'olden days' of my Linux adventures, compiling one's own kernel was standard practice. Thankfully, now many years later, I have become content with the 'standard' kernels (e.g. Debian) that are available to me on my x86 computers. Now, enter the world of ARM-based computing, and the possible return of self-compiled kernels. In my specific case, I am interested in using Pi-like devices to run a GPS-based time server with the additional accuracy of PPS. From my understanding, there are two optional-but-useful changes that would be required to maximal accuracy: - turnin…

Hi all, I'm trying to compile kodi with the openelec patches so it can work on armbian. I've got cedarx installed and am using the following configure: ./configure --enable-non-free --enable-codec=cedarx --prefix=/opt/kodi --disable-x11 --disable-gl --disable-vdpau --disable-vaapi However kodi isn't finding a display. Are these configure options correct?

Hello all, I was setting up a my favorite SBC of all time, the Orange Pi +2E, and I can't believe that I've been so oblivious to this issue for so long, and that there is no easy solution!!! OK, so I'm doing a massive hardware clearout, and I've getting to my OPI's. Part of this hardware clearout is to finish the project I started (if feasible and still useful). I have loads of approx. Intel DC 3000 series SATA drives around 80-200 GB, and I thought these would be perfect "user data" SSD's for each of the SSD's. But then I realized... and my heart sank as I realized this issue is a problem across most OPi boards after consulting the table. …

I wasn't able to boot from my SD after flashing either `Armbian_26.5.1_Orangepi5-plus_trixie_vendor_6.1.115_minimal` or `Armbian_26.5.1_Orangepi5-plus_resolute_vendor_6.1.115_gnome_desktop` to it. I would get a red power light, but none of the others. I was finally able to boot `Armbian_25.8.1_Orangepi5-plus_noble_vendor_6.1.115_gnome_desktop` after grabbing it from archive.armbian.com, but I'm wondering what the problem may have been? I'd like to get onto the latest Armbian but of course don't want to start having boot issues all over again. Edit: Looks like I may have run into this known issue: https://github.com/armbian/build/issues/…

Hello, My mic works on my laptop, but I tried to do the computer, but the mic is not working. I tried a troubleshooter, allowing audio to be recorded. I have tried to reinstall the drivers, but nothing seems to be working. Even after doing a lot of research, the solution was not found. Then after going to the settings, after looking at the setting of the microphone, it came to know that the microphone needs permission to run in the device which was disabled. At the same point, after I have given permission in the settings, the microphone was not working due to not giving it, then the https://mictests.net is checking the mic from the site and see if…

Hiya, Goal: Ok so I'm after a high speed synchronous serial interface (50mhz would be nice) with reasonably flexible clocking options so I can tweak it up and down. The goal is to implement a "fast as possible" SWD debug interface to a Cortex M0; ideally the serial interface could be run arbitrarily fast until the target M0 or the wiring can't handle it. If can do 48mhz I can basically read/write one 32-bit word per microsecond over swd, so 4MB/sec, and I want to process that a little and send it to a PC (obviously ethernet). I especially care about consistent, gap-free, no jitter on this serial interface. So SPI is the obvious choice but I'm…

When I clone linux-sunxi git repo I can only find git tags for kernel 3.4.xx versions. Where are the git tags for kernel 4.x.x?

Ok so the title can confuse more than it really is! So basically I have a armbian distro configured as NAT where wlan0 is the internal interface and eth0 is the "pubic" interface that provides internet (this set is provided out of the box by armbian-config). My devices connect over wlan0 grabbing an IP, say 172.24.1.114 I have added a VPN to a remote network resulting in the creation of ppp0, with IP 10.10.10.12 Having these info, what I want to achieve is: * Only one IP (e.g. 172.24.1.114) has to always go towards ppp0 (that is all traffic back and forth should go to ppp0, so I can either reach machines and navigate on internet with the remote IP…

Dear armbian experts For a kiosk-like system with a touch screen only, I need a virtual keyboard that pops up on demand and hides again when not needed. I have installed successfully the onboard keyboard package, see https://launchpad.net/onboard. The software has all the desired features and works fine so far. Only auto show / hide does not work, i. e. something seems to be wrong with the communication between onboard and other applications like Firefox etc. I think, onboard needs for that an AT-SPI D-bus / AT-SPI registry installed to send and receive messages. I tried to activate "Applications -> Settings -> Accessi…

Flashing odroidc4 images, each installation gets an identical IP address of '00:50:43:84:fb:2f' as specified in https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/7d758026b57380b17b6337e23b053db01c7e0b3d/config/bootenv/meson.txt This gets especially cumbersome with encrypted rootfs. Is there any way to override this without having to rebuild the image? Ideally the hw MAC address would be used, but being able to configure it through a simple change of the boot parameters after flashing would also work.

Hi all, thanks in advance for taking the time to read this topic. I'm working with the Banana Pi P2-zero board, on which I successfully installed the armbian buster image (on SD card) from here: https://www.armbian.com/bananapi-m2-zero/ Note that the image is for M2-zero, not P2 zero... which by the way has pretty much the same hardware, and things work fine on SD card. But then I needed to install the whole system on the on board eMMC. Such eMMC was not visible at first, so I edited the /boot/dtb/sun8i-h2-plus-bananapi-m2-zero.dts file to include mmc2 (mmc@1c11000) and compiled it as dtb. After this, I was able to see the…

Is there any support for this platform. https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/Quantum-Mini-Linux-Development-Kit/ Devicetree https://github.com/coolflyreg/quark-n If not. Where can I see how to add a new platform. If template or tutorial. Original system is Ubuntu 18 and very old kernel. I like Debian better.

Hello, 1. How to boot an armbian (desktop version) without a graphical interface xfce ? - only text "terminal" 2. I want to be able to turn it on again

Hi everybody ! Is it possible to transfer from emmc to sd card? That is, as in the nand-sata-install script, only in the opposite direction.

hi guys, Danubio from Uruguay successfully tested very nice QPC2 Sinclair QL emulator (hybrid m68k + win32 peripheral code) on armbian with hangover 🙂 https://theqlforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=5330 he is testing lot of old windows music apps on armbian this way, so I asked him also to test QPC2, this was one of my cool use cases for armbian too (busy here with other things still so ... my way to linux is very slow ...)

Hi, I need to name my device by unique ID. Is there any way to get unique number of MCU or other peripheral?

The final leg of my server is being a media server for my PS3. I'm using MediaTomb as the server application. When I first got my server online and installed MediaTomb, I could see it on my PS3 as a media server option. Also, I could enter into the Website interface by accessing the IP address and the proper port number. However, since I changed to a static IP and worked to get my Samba share working, I somehow broke my MediaTomb connection. Any ideas? Thanks!
