As a newbie here I'd first like to send greetings to all members and to send a big THANK YOU to the support team. My problem is: After booting cubietruck and installing the updates the USB devices aren't recognized anymore. I'm using standard devices: wired Logitech mouse, wired Cherry keyboard. Updating went smoothly and finished normally. Immediately after it, at the console prompt the keyboard was already dead. I rebooted repeatedly via HW switch because I couldn't log in and keyboard LEDs were also off. My questions: What could I try to fix this? Is any important info missing? Here is an extraction fro…

I just created this account. During the account creation process there was a part where I had to click a checkbox saying that I agree to the forum rules & policies. But I didn't see a link to actually read the policies (I'm usually impatient about these things, I may have missed something obvious). Now, after the fact, I've spent more time looking, and I can't find the forum rules / policies. Is there a post or webpage somewhere detailing what they are?

Hello, Is it just me or something has changed lately regarding the installation of u-boot on SPI? I have a Rock64 v2 and I am quite sure one year ago or more I used to update the SPI using the nand-sata-install script. Today I wanted to flash it again, but whenever I run the script (either via armbian-config) the error message in the title is shown and nothing occurs. Running Armbian 20.21 with legacy (4.4) kernel. Oh, the relevant u-boot package according to apt is installed. Thanks! Edit: The reason behind is to check if a newer code would finally support booting from the SSD plugged on the USB3 port, which nev…

Hi, Using Ubuntu (OPiPC/Ubuntu desktop/legacy) and the window borders are really 1 pixel thick, it makes it impossible to grab using only the mouse. I know about Alt+rightclick and Alt+F8, but I wonder if there is any other way to resize windows without occupying both hands. Any desktop applet that can configure the window border thickness?

I'm a complete novice in the area of Linux on phones. I want to use Linux on my oneplus 8t and I am excited to find that armbian has official support for this. But before I install armbian on my phone, I am wondering if I can restore to android after I install armbian. I have another question which may be a bit offtopic: how hard is it to add support for oneplus 8t to Mobile NixOS? Thanks in advance.

There are already several boards with the small SPI flash installed. This is perfect for the u-boot storage. Than the board starts from this SPI flash and looks for the /boot folder on SD card and USB storage. I've moved the system from the SD to USB HDD included the /boot folder and removed the SD card. When I power-on the board, the HDD starts and everything works fine. But when rebooted, the HDD is suspended at the shutdown end and the u-boot doesn't wait until it starts again and the booting fails as "No USB storage found". Is there any way how to disable the HDD suspend in the system? I was looking around how to disable this function somehow in the HDD itself ( Maxto…

Hello I want to get cpu and ram infos via bash command. So i use this for temperature: For the cpu usage i needed a long time to find a solution. now i found this: echo $[100-$(vmstat 1 2|tail -1|awk '{print $15}')] For the free ram usage, i will use free --mega My question Are this command correct? the cpu command line is really new for me... does it takes a lot of ressources, if i use this commands every 2 seconds to get a real time listening? i need to write it in a database to get a graphical solution. Thank you for your help

Hello, I'm very familiar with Raspberry Pi, not so much Armbian. I have installed Armbian KDE Neon with Plasma 6 successfully and am very interested in possibilities with the Pi5.

I read a lot of U Boot documentation the last hours but I still fail at fundamental understanding, like: - where can variables be set? boot.scr obviously, but there is also uEnv.txt boot.cmd armbianEnv.txt ... and in which order and precendence are they parsed? (If I set a variable in different files, which value will be used? first? last? ...) - how is a change made persistent (saveenv does not work) - Can sub-variables be changed, e.g. root in bootargs what I am trying to achieve atm is to change the boot partion rootdev from p1 to p2. Even thou I think I patched the relevant files, printenv shows that bootargs and rootdev are still set to…

Hello guys! i had download armbian for bananapi m3(a83t) from arambian for bpi-m3. And braking my mind with friending sinovoip LCD+touchscreen module. I tried all the known options for me to connect the LCD display S070WV20HG-DC16 with the touchscreen on the ft5x_ts driver, and failed because apparently not smart enough for this, the my brains are exploding. In the kernel, I did not find the drivers on the display (S070WV20_MIPI_RGB) and the driver on the screen in the kernel is not compiled. Is anyone can correct in the device tree file the parameters for the LCD section for the display as I understood the data can be taken from the fex file: …

I am trying to get BigTreeTech Pi TFT43 display working on a Radxa Rockpi 3A I have. I put the latest Armbian image on the rockpi, but I'm at a loss as to how I configure the device tree to make the screen work. I have verified that the screen does work on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ while using BTT's instructions here, but those instructions don't seem to translate to Armbian. All other examples I have found seem to be specific to the SBC vendor's custom branches. It looks like the vdd_mipi regulator is not enabled so I guess that should be the first step, how do I enable it? Thanks for your help!

So I was trying to compile a wifi driver for a somewhat new usb wifi device and it breaks during compilation because it expects a directory named /usr/src/<linux-headers>/arch/aarch64 but on NanoPi NEO3 the directory is named (on NanoPI R4S is the same case btw) /usr/src/<linux-headers>/arch/arm64 In order to make it work, I created a symlink under the "arch" directory called "aarch64" pointing to "arm64" and I was able to compile it. Here is what happens when I try to compile it without the symlink: pablo@callampa:~/repos/github.com/morrownr/rtl8852cu-20240510$ make clean cd phl ; rm -fr */*/*/*/*.mod.c */*/*/*/*.mod */*/*/*…

Has anyone gotten this display to work in Armbian? I'm on a Rock Pi 4b and its getting power but I can't get any kind of display out of it over the MIPI cable. I can't find any kind of documentation for how to do this, just vague discussions of overlays - I did try the rock pi raspberry pi display overlay and it doesn't work. Thanks.

Hello, I'm using a orangepi pc with armbian and I want to boot (automatically if possible) from the usb flash drive where I flashed batoceda. Is it possible? And if so, would you have step by step? Thanks a lot.

I keep finding the wtmp file missing, anyone else? Just trying to eliminate a configuration error case. odroid n2 odroid xu4 using latest kernel.

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

I loaded a kernel module from the official Linux Github repo, compiled and placed it within /lib/modules/......... Now if I make changes to this kernel module, and recompile it and reboot, the old one still gets called. If I rmmod and modprobe however, the new module gets loaded. The module I'm talking about is qcaspi. This issue doesn't occur on RPi so I'm thinking it could be an Armbian issue or an oversight by me. Any help please?

Hello, I'm having trouble playing some videos on Orange Pi 3 (http://www.orangepi.org/Orange%20Pi%203/), especially those with full HD quality. I can even play the video, but it keeps crashing. I'm using MPV or VLC applications to play the video stream directly from YouTube. It is noteworthy that .mp4 files have crashing too, depending on the quality of the video. I'm using the following command, for example: mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_nJSlGRgX4 or vlc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_nJSlGRgX4 How does the hardware have these specifications: CPU: H6 Quad-core…

Good evening! Is there anyone experience in installing the drivers for this device? The official website has the driver vga2usb-3.30.2.10-raspbian-4.4.11-v7+-arm.deb which apparently is rigidly attached to the core. Does anyone have any ideas on installation?

Hi All, I am trying to run Toxcore tests on OrangPi Zero inorder to run a tox client on this board. So far I tried clone git repositories of libsodium and opus. I did make and make install for both of them .I did not find any issues in installing them. I built them on OrangePi itself. I did not pass any crosscompiler prefixes to ./configure command while building them.My doubt is ,are these libraries compiled with armgcc or normal gcc ? I thougt whatever gcc is available on Orangepi is armgcc so I didnot pass any arguments to ./configure while building. make process was simple and passed without any isseus for bot libsodium and opus.But…

I am building a custom image for rpi4b and everything works great so far. I only want to customize the installed packets and configuration, but I do not need a custom kernel. Since building the kernel is what takes by a wide margin most of the image generation time, I was wondering if there's a way to build the image without building the kernel (using the one from the official builds). I have browsed the documentation and found no way, so maybe it is not supported and building the kernel is mandatory?

Hi Guys, I am working with Orange and Banana Pi development boards all with a minimum og 8GB eMMC chips. I am looking for a process to clone a working system to an SD card and using it as a checkpoint for my configuration changes so should I mess things up I can revert to the previous checkpoint. I have used 'dd' in the past but it is considerably bigger than the standard install images and it slows down the recovery process quite a lot. Is there a better way for me to clone the working system to an SD card. Thank you in advance, Rick

Hello, I have the following problem: A custom board (H5) doesn't reboot using the reboot command. Same problem from u-boot using reset command. If you check the log, all is normal for the halt or power off proccess. The problem happens when the board is going to make the power on, it hangs, and you can't see anything using the debug serial. As a solution, i can reset the voltage regulators using a digital GPIO pin. Of this way i am able to reset the board. But i need a soft solution, and of course, if linux itself makes a reboot it should activate the digital GPIO pin in this custom board. So my question is: …

Hi i'm looking for a nice linux ARM distro that i could use as a VM on Apple Silicon (through Parallels Desktop). Is it possible with armbian and if so, any tuts available ?

Hello. I’m try to run Armbian on my Kurio 7S tablet (https://linux-sunxi.org/Kurio_7S) with Allwinner A20 CPU. I built Armbian image for Cubietrack with USB Gadget Support (https://linux-sunxi.org/USB_Gadget/Ethernet) and ran it using SD-card. But, the micro USB port isn’t active. I need micro USB to connect keyboard to enter a password and for the further configuring Armbian. The micro USB port perfect works in Android on the NAND of the tablet. What am I doing wrong?

I followed instructions here to expose Jupyter notebook over LAN , which had previously worked on Raspbian. However, on Armbian the browser returns ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT. The client is win11. To the best of my knowledge, no firewall (iptables or nftables) is installed. Many thanks for any help Joe ETA: local loopback via lynx (at given IP, not localhost) connects without error

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…

Hi forum members, I need to run a script only once at boot or reboot. Using the @reboot method in the crontab is not working under Armbian. For example neither of these lines at the end of the /etc/crontab file is working: neither @reboot date >> /home/pi/boottime.txt nor @reboot /home/pi/control.sh init >> /home/pi/init.log Please has someone a hint how to get it to work under Armbian ? Regards wollik

Hello, I'm new to the subject but I have a problem. I have an Orange Pi 3 and i want to install a linux based system on it to mess around with it. I tried to install armbian but with the nand-install-sata script I can't install it on my eMMC memory, since armbian doesn't see i have one. The only thing it offers me is to update the bootloader on the SD card. So i went to /dev/ and my eMMC memory isn't shown there. I just have mmcblk1 witch is my SD card and mmcblk0p1 wich is my armbian partition on the SD card and nothing else. I figured this was due to the fact that maybe this version of armbian didn't support emmc memory, so I tried with the foca…

Hi. Armbian 21.02.1 / 5.15.74-sunxi (22.08.6 SMP) / Debian 11.5 is working flawlessly on my cubietruck for several days, and then just hangs. I've studied the armbian-hardware-monitor.log, systemlog, run a 2-minute periodic cron to watch the temperature, and even added a serial comsole in an attempt to find out what might be the cause. I have not seen any weird indications in these logs. Temperature stays between 37 and 45 degrees. When the system hangs, there are no error messages on the consoles or via the serial comm. Pings are unresponded then, and magic sysrq won't work then. Armbian is run on a sata harddisk, there are some harddisks attached via an USB hub too but …

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 ???

I am using armbian on banana pi m2 zero with screen 1920x360. For some reason display controller didn't tell edid, so banana using default value and it doesn't look right (only a few more than half of the screen displaying anything). I want to use this screen, so I want to override default values. How this can be done? I tried setenv video-mode sunxi:1920x360-24@60,monitor=hdmi saveenv but this didn't work (saveenv tells `Saving Environment to FAT... Unable to use mmc 0:1...`) and before booting u-boot tells `Loading Environment from FAT...

I have an orangepi pc and am trying to use a 3.5 inch TFT-LCD using fbtft. I was told to use armbian 20.05.4_Orangepipc_focal_current_5.4.45 in this case. I am trying to find version 5.4.45. But it hasn't worked out yet. The oldest in the archive is version 5.10. May I know how to find the 5.4.45 version? Please tell us

I have a raspi hat (rak2245) that has 2 versions: a pi-hat version that has a 40 pin-header on it for raspberry pi's , but also a smaller stamp edition. It uses spi and uart to communicate with the pi. I have it running without issues on my orange pi zero, even though the pinheader is a little too large. And via a breadboard I can access all pins just fine. But since I am making my own PCB anyway, I am interested in using the stamp version. The only difference between the stamp and the pi-hat version (aside from the form-factor and pin-out) is that the pi-hat version has an additional eeprom chip to tell the rapsberry pi about the function of the pins apparently. Now…

Hi there! I am using a H3 board with TV out on a small 3.5" LCD screen (with composite->RGB24 IC). But I have a problem with picture being way too bright/washed out. The LCD luminosity can be modified with LCD-driving IC buttons, when set to lower value the picture gets better but colors are still too bright (even if luminosity is low) I have tested the LCD with raspberry pi and output colors are normal. I was wondering if there is a known reason for this and if it can be fixed? So far I have just found a topic about a raspberry pi HDMI output being too bright (https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=50726) They su…

Hello, Since I upgraded my Odroid N2+ to Armbian 23.11, when connecting to SSH, I can read the following: Welcome to Armbian 23.11.1 Buster with Linux 6.1.63-current-meson64 No end-user support: community creations & unsupported (buster) userspace! Since 23.08 I had the first part about only community creation, which I already did not understand but now it looks worse as it also mention Buster when I use Bookworm. What can cause this strange information? And what can I try to solve this?

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

From a server on the lan side I am able ping both of the r4s interfaces, but I am unable to ping the gateway 192.168.1.1. I am also unable to do an 'apt update' on the lan side server as it is unable to connect to ubuntu etc. I used nmtui to set up the r4s and I couldn't find any additional information on setting up packet flow between interfac…

Hi I would like to run my OrangePi +2e with absolute minimum power consumption ie no display, no wifi, reduced clock speed, etc. I only really need ethernet and USB function. When I first set the OrangePi +2e up I ran Armbian Jessie and there was a package that I downloaded from one of the forums that allowed me to manage such things. I can not find this package again. I don't know if it would work with Stretch. The Armbian Config might do this instead? Any help greatly appreciated. Regards Carlos

I'm trying to get OctoPrint to work on my Pine64 to control my Qidi i-mate(s) 3d printer. I've done a fresh install of Armbian on the Pine64 with no problems. I'm not sure where to go to troubleshoot the USB-ttl serial connection. I've double checked that the cable is installed right on the Qidi motherboard, this application doesn't need the vcc connected so the other three are. I've tried enabling the UART's in the armbian-config with no luck on the connection. While I've used Linux for quite some time, I'm not familiar with this sort of thing and I'm not even sure where to start the troublshooting. I can easily provide additional logs. This is on an …

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

I am a Linux-Newbee myself but in the DOS/Windows-world I was programmer and admin. But my friend is a total user-only (he is physiotherapist an GOOD in that) so I ended up being his computerman. We both have the rockPi 4 A (no WLAN) with Armbian XFCE. He also has some pad with Android. Everything was good for about a year. He is using Telegram a lot. On the pad he had several messages about a Telegram update, one click, done. On the RockPi with Armbian instead he had messages about using an outdated version of Telegram which soon will cease functioning. No Updates offered. He installed Telegram new which worked, but after a restart he had the old versio…

Hi, I use a cubieboard2 and have (due several SD crashes) added a small SSD using the nand-sata-install script. I wanted now to install iptables - but it complains about iptables -nL modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:586 kmod_search_moddep() could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/4.10.12-sunxi/modules.dep.bin' modprobe: FATAL: Module ip_tables not found in directory /lib/modules/4.10.12-sunxi iptables v1.6.0: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)

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

Hello all, I wondering how is mange the gpu in all Armbian Image

is anybody around here running an OpenBazaar-Server on a bananaPro ? I tried hard to get it running on Lubuntu, arch, raspbian but nothing worked out. there are lots of tutorials but they are not working for me an my banana. If there is a solution around with armbian on a bananaPro i would like to try it. Any experiences are welcome....

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

Would like to build something like a NAS, because I'm tired of connecting an external drive via USB. I am thinking to use bananapi M2 berry for this. I would power the 3.5 HDD externally and don't care too much about SATA speed. However, it is important to me that armbian works without manual adjustments, because it wouldn't cope with them. Should I go ahead with the experiment?

I have a device on a20, I tried to start an image from Cubietruck, everything works, but I am interested how it is possible to disconnect an error sun7i-dwmac 1c50000.ethernet: Failed to reset the dma. There is no Internet connector on the Board I attach the log Apparently the script is constantly trying to raise the connection, but I do not know how to disable it. I would be grateful if someone can tell how to do it

Hey Guys You had been amazing, I'm had used your armbian and I'm very proud of it. I reache to run it very well over my OPi Plus 2 SE and OPi One, without major troubles. But instruction to get a booteable sd copy of current emmc It is not understandable, regardless if is a backpup, a clone, a dd command or a sript to do do over the sd port or to a usb sd card... I could not reach resolve it, because there are many topics with many comment and the main tread explanation is lost. Please, can anyone, write a clear step by step procedure to do any of it?, Sorry and Regards, Pescadito

I use Armbian Jammy Xfc3 23.11.1 on my Banana Pi m3. It's on a 32 GB SD-Card. I did a backup with usbimager Flashed the image to another SD card with 128 GB. Changed the rootdev=UUID in /boot/armbianEnv.txt and the UUID in /etc/fstab But it won't boot What am I missing?

Hello, I would like to ask your help about a orange pi choice. i am a kindergarden teacher and I need a computer for my classroom, in order to show the kids videos, images, access internet for information and if it is possible, play .swf games. We had a very old desktop that is now dead, but the mouse, keyboard, old (not flat) vga monitor work ok. Do you think if I buy an orange pi pc (or an other board) and hdmi to vga adaptor and use armbian , I will be ok? No need to say that lack of money is the major issue......

I am creating a script that can backup sd-cards running on the system, resizing it with desired value or via resize2fs calculated. I learn a lot but there are a few things I don't fully understand. When I create a backup I dd what I understand is the bootsector, ie I grab the "start" position of the partition I am backing up with fidisk and use that value and a blocksize of 512. I then add another 10mb (in bytes) just to be sure. Usually the bootsector is 8192 big, but not always (IIRC nanopi neo3;s is WAY bigger). dd bs=512 count=$DDBOOTSECTOR if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=$IMG_FILE conv=noerror,sync status=progress I then truncate the file, calculated eithe…

Hi, After an upgrade from Ubuntu 16.04 to 20.04, my bpi-r2 card does not restart or shutdown, still stooping all time. I send pings and still on and all ports are closed. I install but no effect. Any idea? thank you in advance

Hello, With NanoPI-m2 (debian jessie) and OrangePI-PC (ubuntu xenial) at hand, I try to detect states of hdmi and audio jack (plugged in or not). With nanopi I can get the hdmi state from syslog kern messages (HDMI HPD State 0x0 or 0x1, according to it's plugged in or not), but I haven't found something like that on Orange PI. And I've found no way to recognize if the audio jack is plugged in or not. Any suggestion, howto get that, will be greatly appreciated.

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

Happy New Year to Everyone, Am I right to assume there is no power management at all when using a SSD on a usb to sata adapter in Linux? I have this crazy plan to salvage a broken laptop and replace the dead motherboard with a sbc and other components to make the laptop useful again and one with better battery life, than 3 hours while building websites it used to give me. When the usb to sata adapter is plugged in alone, it consumes 50ma more which is ok. Add my 120gb ssd and adds another 150ma which I think is normal for the drive when idle but no sata link power management. I tried using powertop, --calibrate then --auto-t…

I rebooted from the 6.6.16-current-sunxi kernel to the 6.7.4-edge-sunxi on my Orange Pi +2E and it couldn't mount some partitions from a USB stick. These use LVM2, and each partition is encrypted using LUKS2 with a keyfile stored in /etc (yes, I know this is a fig leaf encryption, but it prevents someone from grabbing the USB stick and getting the contents of the drive). This works fine with the older kernel, but fails with the newer kernel. I use the exact same setup on a Rock 64 board, and it works fine, on the 6.7.4-edge-rockchip64 kernel.

HI all, having finally got my Nanopi m4 v2s setup as I want them ( bionic ) and pretty stable too. I would like to setup a nightly backup , I have Postgres installed so would want that data backed up to . Do any of you have any suggestions as to the best way / strategy to do this ? I have external SSD' and USB drives available

Hello, Andrew from Italy. I'm a lucky owner of Orange Pi3, running nighly good armbian (debian). i saw now there's a dev WIP version. how to update, cause i made update and dist update but now i'm on 5.88.190610 nightly Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 5.1.7-sunxi6 . thanks in advance bye

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…

I recently had a sopine module start to fail on me. The symptom was most boots would fail partway through the boot. It would just stop, serial console output stops, the board powers off. Note that this is identical to lower power but in this case was not (I have multiple sopine modules and work with them daily). I successfully mitigated this issue by underclocking. Specifically I did three things: Underclocking in U-Boot I added the following line to `/boot/boot.cmd` and compiled the file: mw 0x1c20000 0x80000900 Per the Allwinner A64 manual (p84), this sets the CPU to the lowest clock speed possible: 240MHz. The formula use…

Hello, I want to connect my orange pi PC+ on my cathode ray television over the jack video output. All topic I found regarding that are based on very old armbian version what is the way to get this working thank you for your help in advance regards Guillaume

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.

Hi all, I have Armbian installed in a TVbox (5.88). I activated ssh, xrdp and samba to create my headless and standalone server. I managed to make the 3 services to work. When I reboot the machine I am not able to see the samba shares, I can not ssh or use xrdo unless I log myself to the machine. I have been searching the internet for this information but I still did not find it. Could you help me to configure to make everything working even If I do not log in?? Thanks in advance.

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.

before I used the -f option with h3disp, the framebuffer would always take the same size as the display resolution I'm setting. However, since I used the -f option once, if I now use h3disp without the -f option, the framebuffer size remains locked to what I had set before, even if the display resolution changes as requested. How can I set it back so that the framebuffer always takes the proper size when I use h3disp even without the -f option?

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

Basically I'm confused I want to download. I need someone's help on this. I looked up the download multiple times and I still have not found it.

Hello, I have an Odroid C1+ . I tried to use it with the recommended Armbian Buster. Unfortunately the SSH connection is very slow, when I type in a command I get a very delayed response that makes it very difficult to use. Any idea ? Thank you

Hello guys, I am currently in the middle of setting up my GlusterFS cluster on 3x Odroid HC2s. I am currently using the standard Ubuntu images but hit some walls with them. The worst wall is that the Samba package does not ship with gluster library (glusterfs.so) and I can't auto manage Samba shares via GlusterFS. Does anyone know whether support in Armbian for Gluster, Samba and CTDB is better? Would you recommend to try it? Cheers Sherry
