I used armbian-config to install remote desktop service on an Odroid C2. Works great. When I add a user via command line (adduser), when they log in they get messages for authentication for network services. I also note it doesn't show the XFCE splash screens like the original user does. It can't browse anything on the wifi network but it can get through on the ethernet network. I assume I haven't added the user to the proper groups - can someone tell me what groups, or if I'm barking up the wrong tree?

Hi, It is very hard to start OS (community version, downloaded from here). The system doesn't start at all, if the keyboard is already attached. I've discovered some magic moment during the startup process, when I can attach keyboard and system goes further. In most of moments the boot process stops, as soon as I'm attaching the keyboard. Lines are scrolled too fast to let me note what moment is "successful". Also I've noticed that the chip is very hot, when the keyboard is attached. It's much colder when keyboard is detached. Another small issue is that functional keys don't work. Though Ctrl/Alt and other similar keys do. …

Hi Friends, I am trying to check mDNS and xmDNS services in our companies product. As part of that i am discovering the services of xmDNS using Avahi-discover. If i am announcing the service with domain ".local" (Link-local Multicast ) Avahi-discover is able to discover and querying the services. But if i am try to announce the service with domain ".site" (Site local multicast). Avahi-discover is not able to discover the services and not querying the services. Can somebody give me some advice to solve this problem. Many thanks.

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…

Good day! I found some oddities with UART port driver. If I change the speed or the number of bits in the transmission, then everything works fine. But if I try to set the parity it does not sets. Not work modes: "EVEN, SPACE, MARK". Normal works only "NONE". Anyone faced similar problem? Tested under minicom and Java prorgam. The same result. p.s. I mean this modes sets only logical and does not sets physical. The device on other end always reports parity errors.

I want to put BRO/Suricata as well as some threat intelligence and stuff on an all in one security router on a PI (orange - rapberry - whatever) I tried Openwrt and love the fact that LUCi comes with it and hence network admin job is easy - however installing Bro & Suricata and finding compatible hardware is a challenge (specially with the hardware thing (not able to chose many boards just because they lack support also not able to choose many usb wifi cuz they lack drivers ) I was told for SBCs i should use armbian specially being debian all my security software will run easier as well as better hardware support but I am afraid it will be heavier on my boar…

Hello! I met next problem: I need configure UART communication with baud rate 1 Mb/s (or 2 or 3). But internal clock of the bus is 1.5 MHz, and if i try to communicate with 1 Mb/s, error is too big. Is it possible somehow change internal clock of the uart? Or maybe any other possibilities how to configure such communication ? Or maybe you know any models with higher internal clock of the bus (Like on 6.5 MHz on raspberry pi 4, for example) ? Now one section is equal to 1.333 microseconds, but it should be 1.0 mcs. I found same topic at this forum, but it's no solution there: Thank you and have a good day

Hi, I try to connect a tft 240x240 display via SPI with my BPI m2zero and i am looking for a suitable library written in C. The display uses ST7789 driver and it will be used in combination with thermal camera. I've tried to use producers library for RPi https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/1.54inch_LCD_Module but the screen only blinks when i run a program with test bitmap. I tested it on Arduino and the display works fine. If someone was able to run such a display, can you share your library? Thanks for all the help

I would like to run Armbian on my multi boot PC. i came across a video on how to install Armbian on an X86 PC. How you have to use Gnome Disk to Restore Image to your drive. Does anybody know if it would work correctly doing that on a multi boot PC? I know I would need to update Grub afterwards for it to show in the list.

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…

Hello, I've started a project where I'd like to setup a Bananapi M5 with two wifi adapters to use in hotel room for example. So one wifi adapter will connect to the hotel wifi, and the other will be in access point mode with dhcp for my devices to connect to. I think the proper terminology is AP-STA. So I have purchased one Comfast CF-953AX which uses the mt7921au chipset (0e8d:7961) to test in access point mode as it supports this: Supported interface modes: * managed * AP * AP/VLAN * monitor * P2P-client * P2P-GO The issue I have come across is the hostapd fails to start: nl80211: Failed to start radar dete…

EDIT: I tried to plug it directly in router and speed is OK now. Weird, but it's fine now. Please close this topic. Hello, I just bought Orange Pi 3 LTS to set it up as small off-site backup using OMV and USB HDD. I installed Armbian_23.02.2_Orangepi3-lts_bullseye_current_5.15.93.img on eMMC and installed OMV using armbian-config. I noticed SMB and FTP speeds are slow (around 90 Mbps) so I installed iperf to test it properly and speed is capped on 94 Mbps. I have gigabit switch and interface is connected with GE, if I plug the cable to other device, it works just fine. So there must be some issue on Orange Pi 3 LTS. I searched the internet and speed shoul…

Hi all. I hope I'm posting this in the right section of the forum. I'm looking for an SBC to use as a media center (Kodi) attached to an old CRT TV to watch (among others) german DVB-T2 terrestrial broadcasts. I've set up a Raspberry Pi 3 with OSMC so far and this works well for net content but isn't up to the task of decoding the H.265 TV streams, presumably due to lack of hardware support. So, what I need is an SBC with hardware support for H.265 decoding which also sports a composite video output. Preliminary research leads me to believe that the Orange Pi series of boards should be up to the task and seem well supported by Armbian. However, I'm a bit lo…

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…

I now have a RockPi4a running Armbian_20.02.0-rc1_Rockpi-4b_bionic_legacy_4.4.210_desktop from eMMC. Now i wanted to see how i most easily can experiment with newer distributions, such as 5.x. The radxa debian images for rockpi4 use a lot of partitions and it was quite easy to reformat the eMMC to have two system partitions, install different linux versions into them, and then configure the boot script to allow booting from different partitions/kernels via serial console and there selecting the desired kernel. In Armbian, it seems booting uses the boot.cmd script to boot the kernel. Is there a simple example of the boot script with a m…

nanoPi M4 running Armbian 21.02.1 Buster with Linux 5.10.12-rockchip64.

Hi, On Debian 11 / n2+, I have updated 2 times my kernel. The first time: network was lost and the second, USB and NFS support was lost... Is there a good way to update kernel and firmware without loose anythink ? For information, the first upgrade (5.1 to 6.1) just after install is OK.

I have one of these boards: http://www.orangepi.org/Orange%20Pi%20R1%20Plus/ https://photos.app.goo.gl/1otMwG4totvNbGo88 It's kept cool with a heatsink, and fan (30-35c). Currently, I'm running the orange pi supplied version of openwrt. It's a snapshot version, so the kernel isn't compatible with some packages. My question then is, is there a script out there that can transform armbian into a router, with a firewall, web interface, and easy to use? I'd like to give it a try if such a thing exists.

Hello everybody, is it possible in u-boot (boot.ini) to make a user input and let the user choose from A or B and according to the choice load a particular uInitrd? In case a non-valid answer is given a default answer should be used. Best of all would be if I could implement a time-out. When user does not make input answer B should be selected. I would know how to do this in bash but is that also possible in boot.ini somehow?

Hello @all, I bought an Orange Pi PC PLUS and an 5" touch display with XPT2046-touch controller (compatible with ADS7846): 5" Touch with XPT2046 The OPI PC PLUS works with Armbian_5.65_Orangepipc_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.14.78.7 OS. The Display is mounted on the OPI PC PLUS and works fine with HDMI. But the Touch doesn't work. I tried several solutions which can be found in the inet. But the touch will not get work.

Hi Igor and everyone else. Id'like to suggest the following: /etc/fstab It´s not necesary to use both noatime and nodiratime, because noatime already implies nodiratime, so you can use only the option "noatime" instead of both. When creating the ext4 filesystem with mkfs.ext4 you can type a label for it with the parameter " -L " so when the users mount their cards on a computer, the desktop will show some name instead "NO NAME". For example: # mkfs.ext4 -O ^has_journal -L Armbian /dev/mmcblk0p1 or... # mkfs.ext4 -O ^has_journal -L Cubox-i /dev/mmcblk0p1 Cheers - Klez

I've built the latest armbian (5.48 & 5.46) for all the different versions (default, next & dev) and they all have issues starting the wifi ! If i manually do an ifdown/ifup it usually comes up (say 80% of the time) I was just wondering if anyone else had seen this issue or is it just me ..... Thanks, TB

Hi, I recently bought a 7'' 800x480 HDMI TFT LCD display. Im trying to make it work with my OrangePi Plus 2e where I have armbian xenial desktop distro. I have tried several settings on the scrip.bin file, but the screen is always white. ... screen0_output_mode = 2 screen0_output_type = 3 fb0_width = 800 fb0_height = 480 ... Its intresting that the same settings works perfectly on a Cubieboard2 A20 board. I also tried the Armbian bionic server and installed a light desktop from armbian-config and the display works! but the screen has a greenish tint. (and there is no script.bin file on a server version, so I cant compare to the xenial like…

- To my surprice I was able to upgrade odroid-n2+ to kernel 6.0.10 on a debian bookworm install. Had previously tried to compile kernel 6.0.9 and 6.0.10 from kernel.org and also through the armbian build with no success. The 6.0.9 and 6.0.10 from kernel.org did work but did both lack wifi connections - did try many dongle without success. This deb package from imola.armbian.com do work like a charm on debian bookworm. ------------------------------------- Did download https://imola.armbian.com/beta/pool/main/l/ linux-dtb-edge-meson64_22.11.0-trunk.0138_arm64.deb linux-headers-edge-meson64_22.11.0-trunk.0138_arm64.deb …

If you want to get ahead of the curve a little I've been testing libgpiod master with User Space IO. This version includes Python bindings, so I'm no longer generating CFFI bindings for this library. I've converted all the example code to use the new bindings. User Space IO is Python 3 and Java 8 bindings for Linux user space GPIO, SPI, I2C, PWM and Serial interfaces. User Space IO is a consistent API for C, Python 3 and most JVM languages. No more hacked up RPi.GPIO and WiringPi for each SBC model.

I see that there are three Armbian supported boards that have mpci (Clearfog, Espressobin, OrangePi 3, did I miss any?) but several boards that DON'T have mpci on them note that they support mpci 4g modem?? (Download Pages, Supported Hardware) Are you using some kind of hardware like this? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EMIOBD2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And from what I see, the only board that has a SIM slot is the Clearfog Pro, how are you reading the SIM on boards with mpci and no SIM socket.

Hello I have a working armbian image working well on mi "LePotato", but now I need to use the SPI interface to communicate with a sensor, however I see no spi on /dev/. I read the official images have spi support here , I tried the Ubuntu image and it is working. Is there any way to enable it inArmbian? I read the documentation in https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Allwinner_overlays/ , where points to use custom overlays with .dts files. I see the .dts overlay files used in the Ubuntu image are in github here, however when I try to use armbian-add-overlay I get the message "armbian Overlays are not supported on Meson64 based boards". I am not an expert…

hi to all how can I change the armbian logo in bootsplash? I've searched for it in this forum and saw some similarity but that not solved my problem. I enabled the bootlogo=true in /boot/armbianEnv.txt and after that the logo appears in boot instead of texts and that's fine but I want to change the logo. also in boot.cmd I found this: if test "${bootlogo}" = "true"; then setenv consoleargs "bootsplash.bootfile=bootsplash.armbian ${consoleargs}"; fi changed the "bootsplash.armbian" with some bitmap file but after doing mkimage to create boot.scr, the logo went missing and texts are back. searched in file system for "bootsplash.armbian" and found thi…

Hi all. I've just finished a new video where I show the gameplay of EmuElec on the Odroid HC4. I must say I'm amazed by how well it performs. It doesn't perform that much worse than the Odroid N2+. The biggest advantage is that you can use a normal 3.5" hard drive for your games library. The single USB2 port is enough to connect your controller. Here's my video.

Hi, is possible to include more gadgetfs kernel module on a64 legacy kernel configuration?

Good day, I hope this email finds you well. I would like to create a custom animated screensaver and splashscreen on my Linux Armbian. I am current running the Jammy KDE Plasma version. Can you please guide me on how I can get this right and what I need to do to achieve this? I am also experiencing some graphical issues where some of the words disappear? Is there a fix for this? I am also trying to access the internet through wifi but it does not allow me to connect to my network. Any advice on how to get this right? Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello everyone, first i want to say sorry if this post is not in the right place. I decided to post this in Armbian forum first, because I use it and it was awesome linux distribution with good community and support. I started as a hobby to write a software about controlling relays, to switch things in my home, like light, water heater, floor heater, etc. Hardware passes from PicoIP , thru wireless routers and finish on Orange PI, it offers a lot extras for it's price. What I have done so far: (all is in web interface, written from scratch) You can: switch on/off relays switch on/off relays for period of time schedule …

I can't synchronize the clock using my GPS module. I get this error message: ntpd[1345]: kernel reports TIME_ERROR: 0x41: Clock Unsynchronized It only appears when I use my GPS source. When connecting to NTP servers, everything is okay. http://ix.io/2nUZ I tested it with older kernels, and it works, but I have then other issues. Any help are welcome.

Just installed Armbian on a Rock Pi4 to run OMV as a nas. I have a desktop installed. Install went OK but I have a weird problem, the menu has a different language for some items. Items in the main menu that have sub-groups have the other language, not sure what it is, possibly Cyrillic, but the sub-groups are in English. So, for instance, under accessorioes, accessories is not english but everything in its pop-up menu is. I've set the locale and language to GB, I'm in the UK but the menu doesn';t change.

If you've tried hardware video on an Allwinner A733 (Orange Pi 4 Pro, Radxa A7Z), you've probably hit this: there's no V4L2 decoder, and omxh264dec advertises video/x-raw(memory:DMABuf) but aborts in gst_omx_video_dec_negotiate if you actually ask for it. So everyone falls back to videoconvert ! ximagesink and burns ~1.8 CPU cores on 1080p. The vendor OMX component reports the proprietary colour format 0x7f000002 through a malformed port-format enumeration, so gst-omx can't build a negotiation map. You can chase that a long way. Don't. libOmxVdec.so is a wrapper over libvdecoder.so, and that lower library is what actually owns the decode surfaces. VideoPicture.n…

Hi Trying to install docker (arm64) via the debian documentation on Docker's website, but running into persistant problem with dpkg on docker-ce.

Hi everyone! I'm software developer but have no (or little) clue about electronics & electricity, and would like to dive into the SBC world. I still don't have a goal other than have fun and support this community during my free time. I probably need to buy some devices (my budget is limited): A voltmeter A soldering station. Which filler material is more appopriate? An USB-to-TTL adapter to debug the serial output. Specs? Last but not least: an SBC! Which one is good but currently lacks support from this community? Something else? Thank you for your advices!

Hello I need to increase the size of the CMA on my armbian set up. But I've not found a way to do it. Is there a kernel command line option I need to pass to increase the CMA size, or is this done in the kernel configuration before building? Thanks in advance.

There's a cheap M2 SSD, for example for sale here, but it would be a bad idea to use it in any ARM board with an M2 drive slot. I have one of these M2 drives in my laptop, and I learned the hard way how slow it will get within 1 year's use, like 30MB/sec read, 8.5 MB/sec write! Over time, this drive will gradually go slower and slower and slower, until you figure out you need a firmware upgrade. Then you'll need to use the closed-source firmware-upgrading CLI utility that Micron publishes. There is a version for linux, but it's AMD64 only. You might think you can put the M2 drive in a USB-3.0 enclosure, then firmware upgrade it in that enclosure…

Armbianmonitor -u After an attempt to use wifi on cubietruck on Buster server 20.05.2 (upgraded from Jessie) the board experiences random freezes and I need to power-cycle the board to bring it back. I am now on Buster 20.08.02 after upgrade without using wifi (blacklisted as on the original image) I am trying to pinpoint the source of the freeze (I don't want a fresh install) but due to zram logging, I can't seem to be able to find anything useful in the logs. Can someone suggest any other method to debug my issue or how to temporarily disable zram logging? Edit: I used systemctrl to stop zram and zram logging temporarily

Hello, I have installed the Armbian image for Rock Pi S (https://www.armbian.com/rockpi-s/) released 19th of October 2022 on my Rock Pi S and it boots fine. However, if I update the linux kernel (using apt-get install linux-dtb-edge-rockchip64 linux-image-edge-rockchip64) this breaks the image and it will be stuck on starting kernel the next time I reboot. These packages are not installed automatically, but are listed as kept back. However, since they break the system they should maybe not be possible to install.

What it may be? How I can fix that? Thanks in advance.

I need to introduce a boot delay on my OrangePiPc to allow time for other network elements in my setup to boot, otherwise it will not get an IP address after recovering from a power interruption (common where I am). In Raspbian, this can done by adding a 'boot_delay=n' line in /boot/config.txt, however I don't see this file in Armbian. How can this be accomplished on Armbian 5.20?

Hi everybody, I’m trying to find how to view image by selecting it by reference (image name or its sequence in folder).

Or by sequence order: doesn’t matter the name or number of images, if I tape 1 key the first image on the folder will be shown and key 3 for 3th image..... I have I tried feh with --action but no success. ($ feh –y –F --action 1 1.jpg --action2 2.jpg ) but not what I need. Is there a way to send the key value t…
