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.

QUESTION: I downloaded the BUSTER image (19.11.6 / 5.4.8) .img. In my .GNUPG directory, there is only an empty 'private keys' directory. Is this supposed to be like this or should there be 2 'text' documents next to the 'private keys' directory? One of my former buster downloads from a year ago or so, I know there were 2 simple text documents in the .gnupg directory. I am trying to learn how to send an encrypted message using gpg, but haven't been successful, yet. I was thinking that maybe there is a problem with my .gnupg directory and this is why I'm running into a snag with it. Thank you.

Hi! I've been running two sbc (Odroid HC2) for about 1,5 years. I recently realised that the os it is running on is outdated (Debian Stretch with Armbian Linux 4.14.150-odroidxu4). There is a nextcloud instance running on it and I really (!) like the stability of my setup. So far, I've had one (1) crash in 1,5 years on a system that is running 24/7, maybe heat related in the hot summer. Reboot automatically once a week, nightly off-site backup, login via ssh-keys. So my question is...: Shall I update and if yes shall I do this from a fresh install or is there a built-in way? Thanks!

After installing Ubuntu Focal 20.08.17 (on Pine A64), I have noticed the following. Searching for packages which are not fully installed with dpkg -l|grep -v ^ii returns systemd-timesyncd. This can be fixed by purging the package with dpkg -P systemd-timesyncd but it is better if the image is shipped with this already fixed. Can other users confirm this issue and can it be fixed when building the image?

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? …

I've got an orange pi pc plus camera board from aliexpress. But when I plug it into the orange pi and boot up armbian it doesn't work! It says on the cable: 2035-IPLAY. I tried with the built in android image but it also doesn't work! So I don't know what the problem is! Here is the aliexpress link to the camera board: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000310628213.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.32f74c4dvVQry6

Hi all, can anyone explain to me how the boot process of an ODROID-HC2 looks in detail, please? for example, my microSD card is /dev/mmcblk1 and it contains only one partition /dev/mmcbl1p1. Questions: a) I think the ODROID-HC2 can exclusively boot from a microSD card, is this correct? Without sdCard the boot process is not possible, right? b) where exactly sits the bootloader? is it in a certain sector of the microSD card and if so where exactly and how long? or does the ODROID-HC2 trying to read at specific addresses and if so where? c) can u-boot only process the first partition of the block device or would it be theoretica…

Hello everyone, maybe I can get a solution here. My banana Pi M1 mainly runs as an energy-saving recording module for web radio etc. and is occasionally updated "by hand". Since I felt the bananian was hopelessly outdated, armbian runs on the dwarf. Recently there was also the update from 5.10 to 5.15. Kernel included: linux-dtb-current-sunxi/focal 22.02.1 armhf [aktualisierbar von: 21.08.2] linux-image-current-sunxi/focal 22.02.1 armhf [aktualisierbar von: 21.08.2] Unfortunately, the banana Pi can no longer be shut down cleanly, kernel panic, hangs and does not switch off. Reinstalled the old kernel and stapled it down, all good a…

Does anyone know what sort of latency there is using mainline hw accelerated video encoding on Allwinner H3(H.264/265)? How about latency of mjpeg(if it is supported)? I'm trying to build a system with lowest possible latency.

Hello everyone, I would like to know which version of Armbian is recommended to install today to have a stable system ? Indeed, I have reset all my data on my Helios64 and I want perform a fresh install. I do not made any hardware change on my Helios64 and I plan to use OMV6. Thanks all for advices Flolm

Hi there, I have been using a nanopi m4v2 for openmediavault for 4 years. In that time my SD card has died once. Now I have ordered an emmc module to do a full clean install of my server. So my questions are, is it wise to boot from the SD card and have the system on the emmc because the sd card can die faster? And if I boot from the SD card and it needs to be replaced, can I just insert a new one and everything will work as before? (With a freshly installed Armbian) If I do a backup of the emmc with win32 disk imager, can I burn the backup to a new emmc with a different sd-card as boot? When I do an armbian install, does it copy the system …

Hello I would like to backup my SD card so that in case of crash I do not have to make all the config again. I tried to make the image with Win32Diskimg, the image is done, but when I put it again on the board, it doesn't boot. Is there a special process to make this image ? Thanks Greg

Apparently I'm not good at this... What I want to do is to build a subnet of IoT devices in home/small-office environments. I'm not sure how I would implement this... Suppose: I have a classic wireless/modem/router at 192.168.1.1, windows / android devices already connected, fixed IP or DHCP. I want to build another subnet of IoT devices, say 192.168.200.x... At the center I have a Windows 7/8/10 PC with a single NIC, with two IP addresses, say 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.200.1 - this can reach all two subnets... The problem is the IoT devices (currently several OPi versions, Raspberry Pi's etc) which have fixed IP'…

Hello. I am getting a kernel oops when I setup a masq firewall using firehol. It happenes when a device on the internal net trys anything more than a ping, like loading a web page or doing a speedtest. My network uses interface wlx??? as my external connection to the outside world (internet) and the builtin eth0 as my internal masq’d network (192.168.77.0/24). I am running armbian ubuntu, upgraded (up to date), with the kernel 4.10.0-sun8i and netmanager to configure the interfaces themselves. When I replace eth0 with a cheap usb dongle, everything just works so it seems isolated to the builtin eth0. My eth0 is configured to…

Hi, I'm testing a clone of Waveshare 3.5" (A) TFT with the mainline kernel and I've trouble with colors With legacy kernel works very well until SPI driver hangs (see https://github.com/notro/fbtft/issues/413 for reference) due to a bug So I've decided to test it with the new kernel The TFT is attached on SPI1 and I'm able to correctly load fbtft_device (with ILI9486) and I'm able to start xorg, executing SDL & GLX application But all the colors are wrong.

Hi, after cloning the working copy to SD cards is not working with new banana pi zero. all SD cards are working with same Banana pi zero form which image is cloned. OS - Armbian 5.41 Any solutions?

apt upgrade updated the kernel of Banana pro, according to symlinks in /boot from Updated 4.9.0-7 to 4.9.0-8. Now I only get "Starting Linux", which means that output is send to serial console not tty from what I read. I read that I'd have edit uEnv.txt in order to solve the console issue and continue debugging the issue, but I cannot find this file anywhere on the partition. I tried to revert boot.scr but this did not change anything. I probably could revert to the old kernel by changing the symlinks as well, but I would rather like to use the new kernel....

After installing Ubuntu Focal 20.08.17 (on Pine A64), I have noticed the following. Uninstalling unneeded packages with apt-get autoremove shows that the package python3-distro-info will be uninstalled. Can other users confirm this issue and can it be fixed when building the image?

Hi, I am using Nano Pi Duo2 (Allwinner H3) with latest Armbian OS. My goal is to have all the OS and Data on SD Card Encrypted. It should be secure from hacks. In Developer Guide, LUKS encrypted rootfs needs a key to unlock. In our case we want the device to unlock itself so key has to be stored on the Allwinner H3 securely. Has anybody implemented it on Allwinner H3 ? Is there alternative solution to secure the data on the device.

Hello Igor, your Image resizes itself upon boot to full SD card size. Is it possible to reenable this process again? I know I simply could resize with GParted or similar tools. But I'd rather reuse it the way your image did on first boot. Thank you.

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 all, I am wanting to setup a mail server on my Helios4.

Or is there a better option? Thanks in advance

Hi, I just updated my armbian current to 5.10.35 and I'm quite excited, as pwm and gpio works as with LE :) Then I tried to mount some nfs-shares from nas. Usually I only have to install nfs-common.

I just use 'nfs' as filesystem type - no version specified/requested. Is there something special on armbian, to have nfs support enabled?

Hi all, I have been playing with a NanoPi Neo and the 2.8" screen with toutchscreen also from friendly Arm on Linux nanopineo 4.11.0-sun8i.

I can provide more information or the dts file if it is of interest to someone. TL:DR: The problem is that the toutchscreen accuracy is not so great especially on the top part of the screen. I see that the ads7846 driver which I'm using has a "model" option which by being set…

I have the 'Full Featured Version' of these boards: https://www.phytec.de/produkt/single-board-computer/phyboard-segin/ Featuring an i.MX 6UL-G2 CPU, Arm Cortex-A7 with 512MB Ram. Has anybody here tried running armbian on these?

Hello, What is the correct way to set armbianEnv.txt values when the distro is being built? Specifically I'd like to set kernel verbosity to a non-zero value? There does not seem to be a skeleton file so is all content generated dynamically? TIA

I am trying to remove a USB DBV-T receiver from the craptop to a less noisy Orange PI Zero (OPI0). I had to compile tvheadend and some modules but when I playback video I noticed that the output stalls (using the Ethernet, not the crappy WiFi). After checking a lot of things, I noticed that CPU usage was high (because of something else) so I bumped the governor up to performance from on demand. I stopped everything and retested by switching between ondemand and performance governors every 30 seconds. During the 30 seconds I noticied continuity errors only during the 30 seconds of ondemand. Is there a problem with the ondemand governor? …

Greetings everyone. I have sucessfully used Armbian Bionic in a production environment. Its really great. I am now evaluating Armbian Buster and I am seeing a strange issue perhaps you can direct me where to look so I can do troubleshooting. With the board connected to our corporate network, it takes about 48 hours when the whole board (OrangePi+ 2E) will crash with the CPU burning up. The second time it happened I had htop running to try and diagnose the problem. Investigation revealed that rngd became unstable due to the nm-applet. This led me to re-running the known conditions when this happens, with the network disconnected and now it doesn't cras…

Hi, I have an Orange Pi Zero configured as a Wireless Access Point (via armbian-config) and it works great. However, I want to be able to scan for wireless networks whilst configured as an AP. If I try scan, I get the following error: wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Operation not supported Just wondering if this is a shortcoming of the driver or the XR819?

I just installed Armbian Bionic (latest version) onto a Tinker Board (non-S). Connected to my home wireless network. Chromium works fine except when trying to access my Google Account. I get: All my other phones, iPads and PCs are fine. Please help! P.S. I don't think I can install Google Chrome either.

I'm using OrangePi-Lite2 board with image : Armbian_20.08.1_Orangepilite2_buster_current_5.8.5.img Most of the functions that are important, do work well as of now. There are two major issues : 1. I setup my Bluetooth headset from armbian-config and it is paired and connected and I'm able to output a .wav file using aplay etc. However, I can not record anything from the microphone with arecord. No devices are listed for recording. But when I connect a USB microphone to the board, I can record well with arecord. Bluetooth record function is very important for me right now. Appreciate any pointer as how to get it to work. Thanks. …

When searching the forum on this topic I find a number of hits saying the mainline kernel does not have support for the SOC codec, but these topics are kind of old and I find it hard to find the current status. In the past I have been able to use the onboard audio codec. However, I have been forced to upgrade and I now find that with the kernel I get from Armbian, I do not see the audio (ALSA) device nodes for the codec, only for HDMI. When looking at the kernel configuration, it should be in (SUN8I_CODEC and SUN8I_CODEC_ANALOG are both 'y'), but alas. Does anyone know if and how I can enable the audio codec so I can have analog audio output? I bui…

Hi all, I have upgraded an Odroid C2 setup to C4, and encountered some strange issues. The SPI interface of C2 is bit banging, while the C4 offers "real" hardware support for SPI. I use a current kernel (5.10.102) with Bullseye. I use two SPI /CS lines, while one SPI controller takes care of "user" interaction with the LatticeSemi MachXO2 FPGA on the addon board. The other SPI controller is used to reflash the MachXO2 by the SPI. On the C2, everything works fine (while slow, due to bitbanging). On the C4, the same code on Odroid and FPGA fails - but only on the reflashing interface, not the user interface. The user int…

Hi! I need to use the UART1 port on my NanoPi NEO. This usually means just adding "uart1" to the `overlays` in `/boot/armbianEnv.txt`. What I would like to do is build a custom image that already has the overlay activated by default. I read the following documentations: - https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Armbian_overlays/ - https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_User-Configurations/ But couldn't find anything about it. At first I tried to define the `DEFAULT_OVERLAYS` env var in `userpatches/config-example.conf` since I noticed it was defined in the configuration for the board, but it didn't work. I manage to make it work by …

Hello after some search i successfull attack Ibutton on 1 wire, using ibutton probe my problem is that by default kernel scan for slaves every 10 seconds.

Good evening, Armbian noob here (Debian veteran) working with an RPi 5. I've just installed `Armbian_24.2.5_Rpi5b_bookworm_current_6.6.23.img.xz` and would like to build the ZFS modules.

I am running an Odroid XU4. My operating system is Armbian 5.20 installed to the eMMC. I have an SD card in the board as well for storage. I am trying to use it for sonarr, deluge, couchpotato and plex. I have updated it as far as I know is safe without the problem from newer versions affecting me. The problem where the eMMC will not run the OS. I have the following 3 updates left and I don't know which is safe and which will cause a devestating problem of the device not booting. -----armbian-firmware linux-image-odroidxu4 linux-u-boot-odroidxu4-default----- Which is safe to install if any? I don't know much about Linux at all. I have had this all working on a rasp…

Hi I am having problems with my OrangePi +2e. It may be failing and need replacing but I would like to make sure it is not some other issue first. I use the OrangePi +2e as a Network attached audio (NAA) device for HQPlayer running on a MacMini. Since installing Stretch . The NAA now shows H3 Audio Codec as well as the usb input for my digital audio converter. This did not show up when using Xenial. Is there a command to disable H3 Audio Codec? it may be causing a conflict issue? I am unable to return to Xenial as NAA software no longer supports it. Thanks in advance Carl Mawer

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?

I'm having trouble connecting my Android phone when it doesn't automatically connect and recognize. Is there a way to fix it or is there any documentation? Since it has so many different versions, I tried it and it still failed automatically. Sincerely thank you.

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

I seem to have broken my vim3. What image do I flash using the usb flashing tool to make it boot and not have the light flashing fast? Thanks

Hello I tried to shrink my sdcard (64gb, 17gb in use) and copy it to a 32gb card. I found a tutorial, but it don't work I fownloaded gparted and create a bootable device. The instruction 1.resize2fs /dev/sda1 [new size of the partition] in my case the original card is sdc1 2. Copy the shrinked device to the new device dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb In my case dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/mmcblk0 Is it really correct to use it without the "1" ? Sda, not sda1? However It didn't work.... Gparted gui shows me, that the original sd card has the original size 58.24gb. But I shrinked it to 27gb..... wi…

I’ve done some searching, but haven’t found a clear answer. i have a rockpi-s with a built in eMMC that has a bootable armbian image. When i insert a micro-SD card into the RP, and the card has a bootable image, it happily boots off of the card. Remove the card, and it boots off the eMMC. Perfect. Now, how do I duplicate this same functionality with a usb key? no key or sd = boot from eMMC SD inserted = boot from SD USB inserted = boot from USB I’ve been able to get the RP to boot from the usb using armbian-install to set it up, but then if I remove the USB, it no longer boots from the eMMC.

I have to use older version of armbian which i can get from archive. Unfortunately then i cant get the linux-headers via the armbian-config tool, i.e. the /usr/src directory keeps empty. After update/upgrade it will get the headers but only in the latest version. How to get older kernel AND suitable Header? Thxs,

Hi guys, does anyone have an experience with running webtorrent-hybrid or webtorren-cli (https://www.npmjs.com/package/webtorrent-cli) on Olinuxino MICRO or similar? I have installed npm package, started seeding, but instant.io doesn detect my peer. The same example works on desktop without an issue. Can anyone try and confirm if it is working or not on A20 boards?

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

Fresh install no X server, no GUI. Unfortunately the cursor is not shown in the terminal. You can type and delete text, but the character under the cursor position is not at all highlighted. I can make it shown with adding something like "echo -e '\e[?16;0;200c' " (colors it orange) to my bash prompt, but in then I start vim and the cursor is still hidden! I can set colorcolumn and colorrow to work around this in vim, but it seems that the problem lies deeper. So I looked around and found the setterm command. It works for setting my background and foreground colors, however when I do "setterm --cursor on" or "setterm --blink on" nothing happens, cursor is sti…

I am a newbie in Orange pi or similar Boards. I have only some experience with arduino and similar. On my Windows 7 pc are all my music stored. I want to stream the played music to my local wlan. And receive/play the stream with a OPi. What do i need to stream the played music from Windows? What is the best choice of Orange pi for this? Do i need only one OPi or two (one for send and one to receive)? Thank you for help.

Anyone interested in coaching me a little bit on Armbian? I typically pay $65/hr. I'd like 1-2 hour sessions 9-11am CST and would like to cover the following: Installing armbian to EMMC on nano pi. Creating a master image and automating installation of it via SD card eflasher type system. Getting ethernet to work on NanoPi Core. Integrating drivers. Thanks Derek

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 ?
