I wanted to share my workaround of setting the proper resolution on both, console and Xorg: Display: Generic 5 inch 800x480 HDMI "Waveshare V2" clone Kernel: mainline Proper/usual way of doing it: 1. Edit uboot/dtb display variable -> does not work currently because only a few resolutions are supported (848x480 is the closest). 2. Add a new mode with "xrandr" and "gtf or cvt" -> but "cvt 800 480 60" does yield a modeline which totally glitches out the display. Possible workaround: 1. Set linux console to 800x480: "sudo fbset -g 800 480 800 480 32" 2. Edit or create something similar to "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-a…

Hi guys i want to ask if some one know how to add this module ENC28J60 via gpio in orangepi 2g iot I did it in raspberry pi zero but it was in a different distro so now im stucked!! Thanx in advance

I have installed syslog-ng which removes rsyslog, now I am trying to filter using journald as docker is set to log to journald. If I create docker.conf in /etc/syslog-ng/conf.d with: filter f_dockerd {"${.journald._COMM}" eq "dockerd"}; destination d_docker { file("/var/log/docker.log"); }; log { source(s_src); filter(f_dockerd); destination(d_docker); }; Everything is logged go to docker.log, not just docker logs. The journal source is already setup with system() I think as if I try to add a journald source I get the error there can only be one.

I wanted to build the cli version but didn't see an obvious way to do that with conf variables and the docs don't illuminate that choice. so I tried BUILD_MINIMAL=no BUILD_DESKTOP=no and that seems to do force the cli version. Just suggesting that this might be easier to grok if the variable was say BUILD_TYPE=(desktop|cli|minimal|custom) with maybe default cli where custom might be a rootfs that is custom (like one I put together) and thus doesn't need to be reconstructed from the custom-image script. Maybe setting custom then RELEASE could hold the path to the tarball? If that seems better mayb…

If I understand the custom-image script is run as a chroot after the image is built. So didn't see anything specifically in the docs but can I ONLY run (from compile script) the custom image script on an already already built image (in /output/images)? Along the same lines can I chroot at any time to the image via the compile script? I should mention that I am using the docker container build for arm on my amd machine. (i.e. ./compile.sh docker.... )

Hi, picked up a Rock 5b+ as it looked like the exact right board hardware wise and the rk3588 is getting a reasonable amount of support and happy to see it's officially supported by Armbian. Was able to build and flash the UEFI image and boot into the Fedora installer which would allow a RAID install but unfortunately it doesn't support either the PCIe bifurcation needed for both m.2 slots to work or the hardware acceleration for transcoding. It looks like there's progress being made by Collabora so eventually mainline support should be good enough but for now I'm looking to use Armbian with the BSP kernel as able to boot into it with both drives being de…

Hi ! I have a few Orange Pi boards- Zero, One, PC, One Plus, Zero Plus What I would like to know is about overclocking them. I already use 12v fans for cooling. Can someone please guide me how to overclock these boards. I just want to try the capabilities of these boards. Thanks to all the awesome people in advance. Update- Read about how the defaults(clock) are the best. Thanks Armbain. great for dummies like me.

I have a Banana Pi mk1 that I'm trying to add a usb wifi adapter to so it can run klipper wirelessly. I'm still relatively new to linux and I'm having trouble getting it set up. "lsusb" shows that the wifi dongle is connected and is reading, and I copied the appropriate .bin file to /lib/firmware/mediatek. I can't get NetworkManger to show any wireless devices and I'm stuck. I've tried "nmcli device show" and it will only display my ethernet connection.

Hi. I have multiple USB wifi sticks and I would like to be able to connect to my wifi network without having to enter the device mac etc. using nmtui. Is it possible to use wlan0 as the device? Thanks. J.

some one maybe know I have submitted Armbian support for khadas VIM1, what's the different? these images are built with patches/config from khadas (fenix), thus support all their devices. you can get it from Baidu Netdisk: URL: https://pan.baidu.com/s/1sJug0ykaioGUu_G7fDQ1rA Code: py8r 链接: https://pan.baidu.com/s/1sJug0ykaioGUu_G7fDQ1rA 提取码: py8r

I would like to use the uart of the orangepi zero 2 for an application. It esists for example /dev/ttyS5. But unfortunately the communication does not work. When I connect minicom to this port and short the two pins 8 and 10, I wanted to see the characters that are sent. Minicom can be connected (minicom -D /dev/ttyS5). But the characters are not mirrored. Do I need to enable the UART before? How to do this? The orangepi-config program does not exist on the system. The system reports after the login with: Welcome to Orange Pi 3.0.6 Bullseye with Linux 5.16.17-sun50iw9 Thank you for your thoughts.

hi all, I use armbian jessie on my nano pi m1, I want to encrypt full sd card, and decrypt when boot. My disk structure are: /dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot /dev/mmcblk0p2 / it can boot normally without encrypt. After I encrypt mmcblk0p2 with cryptsetup, the booting process stopped, and message are: and it will reboot. how can i fix this problem? thank you for help.

I have the same problem. Using Lubuntu 14.04- 0.9.1 img for Orange pi lite. bin2fex in sunxi tools gave me "malformed data" error. using the windows bin2fex gave me "unrecognized GPIO port #12". Since this bin2fex is so critical in setting display, audio, resolution, etc. This bug made my ARM experience very bad. I understand and appreciate all the efforts in the linux community though.

Good morning, I have made a board where I have put an RTC DS1307 to a Neo core nanopi. From what I have been able to see, the system loads some kind of RTC module called sun6i-rtc. this module "occupies" the / dev / rtc0 so when loading the DS1307 it assigns it / dev / rtc1. Can the sun6i-rtc be disabled in some way? On the other hand, if I do this command. hwclock -w -f /dev/rtc1 --verbose hwclock from util-linux 2.37.154-c2ca2 System Time: 1625751906.401974 Using the rtc interface to the clock.

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, I've been trying to compile a c program with GCC and have been unable to move past various errors related to file functions that should be declared in fs.h I have installed (several times!) linux-headers-5.7.15-sunxi, made scripts, pointed the make file to ARCH=arm (not really necessary I know) and KSRC=/usr/src/linux-headers-5.7.15-sunxi/. In the fs header in /usr/src/linux-headers-5.7.15-sunxi/linux/ looks correct and includes references to the functions I require (filp_open(), filp_close(), kernel_write()) but the compiler simply refuses to accept that these functions are declared. It appears to still be using the original headers in /usr/incl…

Hi All, I am having issues reading frames from a usb camera connected to my nanopi neo air. I can get images from a logitech C170 webcam fine but not from this other USB camera module. I can access it from my mac/ubuntu VM fine so it definitely works. The device is recognised as a video device and mounts to /dev/video0 but times out when I try to get frames from it. It seems like a driver issue but I can't figure it out.

Dear all, I have an Android TV-Box which is not a common type (but brand new). No existing DTB file that I tried works properly with Armbian (Ex. WiFi & Bluetooth missing). I have managed to extract the original DTB file from the built in Android (Pie, I believe), but as I read somewhere else, these DTB files are for older Linux kernels, and Armbian refuses to boot with it. My question: would anybody here like to attempt to update the DTB file, so that it adheres to the current Linux kernels standards for DTB files? I will offer $100 to anyone who can make it work. Technical specs of TV-Box: Amlogic S905X3…

On Armbian Buster, rockchip (rock64), kernel 5.16.69. This was also happening on the latest backported version of 5.10, I think 5.10.72? I tried upgrading to fix it to no avail. I have a couple 8TB HDDs that I use as backups. All I did was reformat one of them as btrfs and start copying the data back over from the other (still EXT4). I tried rsync and simple cp. Without fail, a few minutes into the operation, the copy operation will hang indefinitely, and all open terminals receive these kernel messages: Message from syslogd@localhost at Oct 1 16:59:57 ... kernel:[ 339.539365] Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Message from syslogd@localho…

Just as warning - It seems that Orange Pi devices have quite "easy to burn" hdmi port. This post is quite clear about it: http://www.orangepi.org/orangepibbsen/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1556 And case happened to me - I did it simply by plugging in and out hdmi cable. At some moment "no signal" is coming from HDMI (or maybe I should say "nothing is coming" ). It is on my Orange Pi PC. Now I wait for composite TV/Audio cable (in post I am referring there is information that TV out is still working). Or my device will be changed to "server" only...

Mini tutorial I am putting here some notes for posterity In the current version of armbian (testing H6) I use X11 / Xorg only reaches 1024x768, but my display reaches 1440x900. To add this new resolution to the list of Settings/Display you have to give these commands: # xrandr --listmonitors (this command serves to see what it's called, the hdmi output) # cvt 1440 900 (output: # 1440x900 59.89 Hz (CVT 1.30MA) hsync: 55.93 kHz; pclk: 106.50 MHz Modeline "1440x900_60.00" 106.50 1440 1528 1672 1904 900 903 909 934 -hsync +vsync ) # xrandr --newmode "1440x900_60.00" 106.50 1440 1528 1672 1904 900 903 909 934 -h…

Hello everyone. I have a custom board with A20 SoC running Buster kernel version 5. Configured device tree, everything works. My problem is that the board uses I2C4 bus to drive CSI1 camera and that I2C4 bus seems to be reserved for HDMI. i2cdetect -l gives i2c-0, i2c-1, i2c-2, i2c-3 and sunxi-hdmi-i2c adapter. Of course, trying to access sunxi-hdmi-i2c adapter from code (c++) or a tool (v4l2-ctl) results in an error as resource is busy. As I don't use HDMI at all and I2C2 bus is free, my question is how can I set dummy I2C2 bus to be assigned to HDMI or somehow release I2C4 bus so it's accessible by camera driver. Removing or disabling HDMI from…

Hello, This may seem simple for you, and I feel stupid for asking, but I'm not sure how to install the driver provided by KeeTouch, the touch screen provider, on my OrangePi One.

Hi, I need to help for understandable how set right clock hierarchy for i2s bus with external master-clock signal.

In souce and clock debugfs I find that I2S1 ("i2s1_pre") can be clocked from 4 sources: clk_i2s1_div, clk_i2s1_frac, clkin_i2s1, xin12m. By default parent for i2s1_pre set to clk_i2s1_div, which have parent cpll. Hence we must change parent for i2s1_pre to clkin_i2s1, but clock clki…

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 ?

I am looking to purchase an SBC ideally under $100 to install armbian and develop some hardware projects. I had previously gone for a BpiM5 which also has EMMC but when I came to install software I found there is little support from the makers, installing software is fiddly and the most recent Armbian images for this board were not working. I eventually got this going using Ubuntu Mate. For my next project I would like to change from Amlogic CPU's , use Armbian as the software base and choose a platform which has reasonable up to date support whilst avoiding going for an RPI.

Hi, thanks to this tutorial: I was able to add optical S/PDIF module to my orange pi zero plus 2 h3 - It works But I noticed the the every time when a sound is played it causes the SPDIF output on the OPI to initialise (switch on the red light) which takes about 1-2 seconds, after the sound has finished the SPDIF output goes back to sleep (switch off the red light). As a result on every new audio that is played the first 1-2 second is lost off This is not a problem if I'm listening radio but in case of quick phrases spoken by the synthesizer(my case) this is a real problem. Is there any way to keep S/PDIF …

Is there a way to skip this phase? Is it possible to force board to boot from SD card again?

So I entered URL https://www.armbian.com/bananapi-m2u/, connected board with keyboard, display and ethernet switch and downloaded image (Bookworm CLI). Then I followed document at https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/ and was able to get my board boot from SD card. Then I made configurations as guided and lastly proceeded installation to eMMC. Then I made poweroff, took SD card out and started board. Boot started nicely but sadly stuck at sta…

Hello everyone, I am creating a custom Armbian build for OPI5 && OPI5b. The task is as follows: install several packages in the system and fully configure it. While there are no issues with installing packages and configuring the network, there is a peculiarity with the login and password. Specifically, sometimes after writing the image to the emmc opi5b or SD card, the system allows me to log in with my pre-configured credentials, but other times, when flashing the same image, the system simply rejects my pre-set data and displays the message “Login Incorrect.” How I set the initial settings for the system: In /root there is a file called .not_logged_i…

Hi all. I have a Rockpro64 with u-boot flashed to SPI, and Armbian installed to NVMe drive*. When I use the HDMI port on the Rock to a standard HDMI port on a monitor, everything displays without issue. But recently I tried connecting to a Viewsonic va1655 using the HDMI to mini-HDMI cable, and the monitor displays fine while U-boot is doing its thing. But right before Armbian loads, the Viewsonic monitor flashes yellowish orange and then completely loses the signal. Buuut if I unplug the VS monitor and plug in the other HDMI monitor to the rock, the image is restored and Mr. Tux is patiently waiting for me to enter my password. *I'm not sure if this matters, but I u…

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…

Does it need extra settings, like disabling edid or some order of settings?

hello everyone, I would like to know if it is possible to remove support for video cameras and wi-fi from the operating system so that they do not load at startup and reprogram these connectors to suit your needs? Thank you in advance for your answer

Hi I had bought a NanoPi R4S with the goal of installing IPfire. Unfortunately that was too complicated for me https://wiki.ipfire.org/hardware/arm/friendlyelec/nanopi-r4s I had now installed Armbian and NextCloud and I am very satisfied. In about 10 hours I had "my own cloud". Therefore a very warm and big thank you to the Armbian developers. Only thanks to the Armbian, I can look over the Raspberry horizon. I wish you a very pleasant week Best regards

Hey. I'm working on setting up octoprint on my opi zero +2(H5), aiming at running octodash on a small 3.5" spi waveshare clone display. So far I've got the display working fine, as in showing the console text, and also working in xorg. However, I have a bit of trouble with the touch part. I've combed through the forum and followed the guides I could find, and have a fairly good working DTS file, however, I can't seem to get pin number 11 to work. In the overlay files, it seems to be named PA1, but I couldn't get that to work, and there were a bit of oddities with what pins seemed to be enabled, in relation to the various overlays. Howe…

I am trying to run AWS Greengrass IOT software on an Armbian based Rockpi (latest versions). At its simplest it runs ok using AWs corretto or Java 8. I am running into issue when i try load up a lamda to set up tunnels. I get the following errors from the log file. The issue seems to start because Resource controller is not enabled. Reading further and taking a stab in the dark - this could be referring to the following cgroup_enable=memory cgroup_memory=1 - apparently usually found in a cmdline.txt in the boot folder. Can anyone in the community help ? [INFO] (pool-2-thread-7) com.aws.greengrass.util.platforms.unix.linux.LinuxSystemResourceController: R…

After trying different distro for the BPI M2 Zero, I installed Armbian, and it works great with a standard 16:9 screen. Now I would like to use a bar LCD (Waveshare 7.9 inches); but the setup instructions are for RPI, not for Armbian, so I am not sure how you set up a screen that is not default (And I exclude that I can just plug in the screen and it will magically work. I am not using X interface since the BPI is quite slow, so I am in terminal. Thanks

I have spent the greater part of the day trying to get fbtft working on an ili9341 display on the nano pi neo with the legacy kernel. I have looked through the forum over and over and I cannot find out how the pins are numbered for fbtft. I got https://github.com/wertyzp/WiringNPand did a gpio readall and that gives me some pin numberings. I have tried both the pins from wPi and BCM. Neither work. I have done this many times on a raspberry pi, but cannot seem to get it to work on any of the H3 stuff. I saw in the forums that in the mainline kernel, there is a mathematical equation for pin numberings. I tried that as well, with no luck. I also tried giving the actual portp…

I recently took delivery of a Voltastream Zero, a just-released evaluation board which uses an i.MX6ULL processor. The support forum for that board isn't even up yet. Their main board image has neither the PPP kernel modules nor a C compiler, at least one of which I need in order to use the board for anything. How easy would it be to get a rudimentary Armbian image running on this board? I've had some luck with Armbian on my other boards and would like to see it on this one too. It doesn't have any video output or Ethernet, I just need the very basics.

Hi! help please - i by chance remove kernel module for w1 - can someone send it's to me... /lib/modules/4.14.84-sunxi/kernel/drivers/w1/masters/w1..... -- ARMBIAN 5.60 stable Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS 4.14.84-sunxi orange pi zero H2+

Hi everyone, I've updated my pcDuino via: Sudo apt-get update Sudo apt-get upgrade I can reach 8.8.8.8 from the terminal and google.com from the Chromium browser. However, I cannot reach any other website. I am guessing it has to do with the latest TLS requirements. TLS 2.0 is required for 99% of global websites. I'm presuming my pcDuino is on an older version for TLS 1.0/1/1 Any thoughts or help is greatly appreciated Thanks

Hello help please. there is not sound in the headphones

Good morning I am using a tinkerboard S on Armbian Stretch. I would like to backup using rsync / rsnapshot to a remote nfs share. For the nfs server I tried an rpi3 on raspbian and on armbian omv4. The setup works, but on the actual job, copying a few GB, I get a kernel panic on the Tinkerboard Client everytime. The same jobs works flawlessly to local attached usb storage on the Tinkerboard. http://ix.io/1wJT Thanks for any input und happy Holidays! Sebastian

Hello there I have been using my orange pi zero as a network wifi adapter for my computer since it does not have one baked in. But this morning it stopped working. I reinstalled armbian hoping to fix the issue to no avail. I am running armbian 5.83 on opz and ubuntu 19.04 on pc. I attempted setting ethernernet to share network via guy nm as well as nmtui. I get an error from nmtui "could not activate connection: ip configuration could not be reserved (no available adress, timeout, etc) any help would be very appreciated.

This isn't Armbian per se, but I thought it worth mentioning for anyone considering a SOPine Baseboard. Pine chose a small coaxial power jack instead of the micro USB for the main 5V input. This jack is kind of an odd size, but it also seems pretty fragile, especially when the extra leverage of a power cable is added to it. I broke the mount on mine within the first 20 minutes of use. It still worked as it was just the mechanical mount, but it became position sensitive and a pain to use. You can still power the board via the Euler bus, and that's what I switched to instead. If this isn't appropriate for this forum, please feel free to move it (or d…

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?

So I'm fairly new to Armbian (although I have already managed to successfully create a custom build with most of what I need). Sadly, I've very much hit a blocker. I really need to use linux-tools/perf on an RK3588 board with a vendor kernel (I'm using the Mali OpenCL, and the ARM packages are mostly locked) and I need to do some performance tuning. I cannot figure out how to get these tools deployed. 1. There are no linux-tools packages build -- which is fair enough, I'm probably in a minority. Some parts of the tools directories are culled during a cleaning process for the headers, I can see that 2. I am happy to copy over the kernel source and build o…

I'm using an Orange Pi Prime to build a Magic Mirror. The module I'm trying to install is for switching the HDMI on/off with a PIR sensor. The module is called MMM-PIR-Sensor. The readme file it says to execute this command sudo chmod u+s /opt/vc/bin/tvservice && sudo chmod u+s /bin/chvt. The result I get is:chmod: cannot access '/opt/vc/bin/tvservice': No such file or directory. I believe the module is set up for Raspberry pi and the issue I'm having is due to disconnected libraries? Anyways, I'm relatively a novice so any help to figure this thing out is greatly appreciated. The OS I'm using is Armbian 20.02.1. Let me know if there is any other info need…

Using a Realtek 8821CU Bluetooth + Wifi USB adapter. Working fine on stable build jammy with kernel 5.10.123. (current) Using the Armbian->Config->System->Other and selecting the latest 5.15 kernel.

I have an orange pi 2e running armbian 5.31. I wanted to use it as a pihole for blocking advertisements however it seems that it only has a link local address but no IPV6 connection to the internet. pinging 2001:4860:4860::8888 will show destination unreachable: Beyond scope of source address. However I have another PI, windows desktop on the same network than can ping the same IPV6 address. Is there a way to force "enable" IPV6?

I need gc2035+vfe_v4l2 module, but the mainline kernel does not support it. So, how to build armbian with legacy kernel?

Hi, I have a USB OTG supported device lets say Orangepi zero.

Hello there I have had great success using Armbian as a base OS to run my commercial application. Finally free of Microsoft Windows CE However the time is now at hand when I need to clean things up before it goes out in the field. As far as possible I need to hide some stuff and one of the things I need to do is as follows: 1. Disable (or hide- I prefer this as it is needs to be re-enabled if we have problems) the text that scrolls during boot. 2. Change the black background with the Armbian logo in the middle. I preferably want to change this to our own logo and some custom text, retaining the Armbian logo at a different position. I suspect thi…

Hi, I am a Grade 12 STEM Student, and right now I need someone's help on our Investigatory Project.

Due to systemd, Journal is going to replace all journals sooner or later, it's already one of the busiest journaling on the sytem. The logs are binary and can't be rotated like text logs, they are already compressed and can't be read by text editor, instead only by journalctl. Thus, in /usr/lib/armbian/armbian-ramlog , the directory /var/log/journal is excluded from standard log rotation and copying to HDD. Instead, it is copied once to /var/log.hdd/journal and a soft-link is created: /var/log/journal pointing to -> /var/log.hdd/journal . The RAM logging was introduced to spare the SD card, preventing many write actions that wear the SD card qui…

Hi, I'm new to this game,being mostly a (French) software dev doing backend Node.js. Recently I bought a 21.5" Android kiosk display from Beelta, the T2100AA, to build a custom kiosk for my company. The Android build is bloated, so I wanted something cleaner. I started looking into porting Armbian to this display. Inside there's an SBC identified as a Shimeta AIoT-3568A. There's no Linux support for this board, and the manufacturer wasn't willing to provide any documentation. I started digging with Claude and worked through most of the blockers in under a day. Here's what I found — and possibly a path forward for other Shimeta-based boards too (more on…

Hello, i tried to set up a little samba server with armbian on a odroid c2. If i use only the sd card, without any external storage, the system works fine, but if i connect any usb storage to the odroid c2, the system is booting into a bootloop or stops booting If i connect the usb storage after the first bios display, the system boot is fine. I think, the bootloader is trying to boot from the usp storage after detecting this, so is there an option to modify the bootloader, so it is only trying to boot from the pluged in sd card?

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.
