I'm having an aggressive memory leak issue I can't place: Within 5 minutes the 4GB are full. htop and top don't show a massive program growing unbouded. `df` doesn't show a tmpfs that is too large. Only `slabtop` is imforative: OBJS ACTIVE USE OBJ SIZE SLABS OBJ/SLAB CACHE SIZE NAME 26638624 26638624 99% 0.12K 832457 32 3329828K kmalloc-128 So `kmalloc-128` is growing without bounds. As I understand it kmalloc is a collection of smaller memory allocations? I've tried using a previous kernel version (5.10.16 and 5.10.12) but nada. I've disabled docker, and that along with omv were the only services running…

Hello, I have been trying to get back to a working nanopc-t4. I'm traveling with an almost worthless computer since I accidently let armbian update itself. The next few days I have access to a TV. To get my screen to work I convert the - media - version to support dtb overlays, the build the driver and overlay. This needs the build in the modules to be present. Using uname -r gives me this path. usr/lib/modules/6.2.0-rc8-media/build I can install Linux headers through armbian-config. That does nothing for allowing make in the modules which is what I need. What am I missing and how do I get…

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

Hello, According to the changelogs on https://docs.armbian.com/Release_Changelog/, the 20.08 version on September upgrade the EspressoBin to the Kernel 5.6 and the next version 20.08.3 it was updated to the 5.8 kernel. When I go to the archives for the Espressobin (https://archive.armbian.com/espressobin/archive/) I cannot find the 5.6 version. Is there any reasons for that or is a missing link? Kind regards,

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

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

I'm using Armbian bullseye on an Odroid HC2 with 2 GB of RAM with OpenMediaVault. Its memory usage used to be around 10% before starting any docker services, and a cool 50-60% while running things like Nextcloud, Vaultwarden etc. It used to jump to around 80% when some headless Chromium processes ran intermittently, but overall, it's been quite stable. I don't recall to make any significant changes to the system, yet suddenly the baseline memory usage jumped to around 50%, making my system extremely slow and unstable, with service and system restarts now occuring several times a day. I couldn't extract any useful clue about what's using all that RAM, with `sys…

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. System reboots and confirm kernel has been updated and chosen. Wifi hotspots are all seen but fails to connect and repeatedly asks for password. Security is WAP2 personal. Setting the kernel back to 5.10.current reverts to Wifi working as expected. I will try the 5.17 kernel and report back. I have seen this before on other Deb distros. From memory this is caused by a missing/outdated kernel e…

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

I made a custom mini usb hub for the orange pi zero. I used the fe1.1s chip to do so. But for some reason iam getting the following error when running dmesg.

Hi Guys, My Orange Pi Zero LTS H5 had a short circuit and no longer power up. worst that it seems that i cannot find any replacement for it as market is full of H2 & H3 variants but non is H5. Perhaps its time to upgrade Armbian & Hardware by inserting the SD card in one of the below boards: - Orange Pi Zero 2 1GB RAM with Allwinner H616 - Orange Pi R1 Plus LTS 1GB RAM RK3328 -Nanopi NEO3 Mini RK3328 (though not Orange pi but seems very similar) Though i'm not sure OS would boot on different CPU / board, (i remember doing such upgrade from h3 to 5h or zero 2 to lts) I would like to avoid re-building the OS w…

I'm trying to build the linux-tools binaries from the kernel using the armbian build. I ran the ./compile.sh script and it built the image, but I only want the linux-tools binaries to copy over. I'm not sure how to get it to build them, when I go into the kernel tools folder and do "make all" it builds the binaries for x64 instead of for arm64. I looked through the kernel config file when running ./compile.sh script but can't find an option to build the linux-tools. I'm not sure how to add it so that they are built for the target system arm64.

This is a really weird struggle: I have 2x cubieboard that are exactly identical (same HW, same board revision) including the LAN chip (realtek RTL8201CP). Both boards work fine with an earlier version of Armbian. I learned that there is an (unsupported) Armbian 21.08.1 Bullseye with Linux 5.15.25-sunxi which I installed on both. Behavior however differs with the LAN (eth0) interface. The one board works straight from install with DHCP (default), the 2nd won't work at all. dmesg | grep eth (partially) outputs: sun7i-dwmac 1c50000.ethernet eth0: no phy at addr -1 sun7i-dwmac 1c50000.ethernet eth0: stmmac_open: Cannot attach to PHY (error: -19) …

Hello. I am wondering if anyone here has Xenomai working for Amlogic platforms? I'm particularly interested in applying Xenomai to Le Potato/Sweat Potato. According to them, Xenomai is current and working for the Amlogic S905X3 (Odroid C4), though I have failed to find any source, patches, or images for that board. As far as I can tell, aside from some minor performance improvements here and there, the Odroid C4's SoC layout is very comparable to what the Potato boards have. So I only expect minor changes, if anything, to go from that SoC to the Potato's SoC. Xenomai's own guide to porting the dovetail interface is pretty good; I'll do that if I have too. I…

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

Hello everyone Now I have finished compiling armbian once and want to check and change the device tree of uboot, but I don't know where to download it, only see the kernel source code in cache/source, so I want to ask

Hello all! =) Can you help me? How can i get video acceleration in Armbian 5.9 (4.20.2-sunxi64) ? I want to use RetroArch for retrogaming and Kodi for media. By default this is slowmotion.. I know I have to install drivers for graphics acceleration. Mali,Drm and something else? Is there a list of drivers that need to be installed for acceleration? And instructions to them Thank you advance!

Is there any distro out there that has 2D hardware accelerated graphics so you can get a decent desktop experience out of the N2? I've tried armbian and the distro that comes from Odroid, but all of them are sluggish. Maybe I have missed to select some options? I've "just" installed it and tried som different.. window managers? It's a bit confusing. I'm only going to use it for python and golang development in VS Code, maybe some arduino too, but it's unusable with non accelerated graphics. Chromium or Firefox needs to be usable too. I have a feeling there is some kind of 1 2 3 recipe I've missed like install armbian, select this window manager, install this p…

Hi I have here Banana Pi M2 Berry and I want to use it now as web server, plus few more things, ftp, plex, pi-hole and later also for use some sensors on it. What the best the best OS for it? Armbian is always made for Ultra not Berry and most versions make problems 🙄😒😉 The GUI itself is so !SLOW!, maybe the driver for video are also not right? Can someone give me a link to a proper Armbian for Banana Pi M2 Berry ??? Or advice what for alternative OS?

Hi all, i just stumbled upon the Bana Pi M4 Zero while searching for an pi zero 2w alternative that features at least 5ghz network support. My use case is explained quickly, I want to use g_mass_storage to create an smart usb stick device. I can't use libcomposite, since old devices (and it's going to be used with old tech) don't support composite as far as I know. Is g_mass_storage supported by default or would I have to compile my own kernel/image?

Hi guys, my name is Yawn I recently tried to use vlc and more specificly the RTSP flux, but it return an error when connecting "Vlc is unable to open the MRL ...".

Or maybe I should mount this SD card on some other linux device and I will able to edit it?? …

Hi, Not sure I should ask this kind of question here, but here it goes: THe question is how to grow a RAID5 after replacing 4x2TB with 4x4TB I replaced each disk one by one and hit recover each time a disk was replaced.

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? …

I have several rock64, rpi, and opi boards but only one ftdi232 serial adapter. Since not each board has hdmi output or in some cases it is buggy a serial connection is the only way for me to see what's going on. If I remove the adapter from a running board and plug it in immediately again I still get serial output, however, if I plug it in after a while I don't get any output. Any ideas what could be the reason and how to fix this?

I'm using the latest WIP config for the NanoPC-T6 build. I've discovered a problem that I don't have using an official FriendlyARM Debian image on the device. I have one HDMI output connected to a dual input screen in desktop mode. It works fine if I select the NanoPC-T6 screen input from the start, but if at a later stage I swap the screen input to a different source and back again, the NanoPC-T6 does not output video.

Soo, few weeks ago, I left the Orange Pi Zero unpowered. Then, now, after I power it on, I quickly ran the 'update' and 'upgrade' commands to upgrade my system... Well, then I ran 'armbianmonitor -m' to check my CPU's temperature and to see if I had installed the cooling fan correctly. Suddenly, I noticed its clock speed is no longer 1200Mhz maximum. I was freaked out then, so I quickly checked the CPU's lowest and highest clock speed using 'cpufreq', and it said that the maximum speed is 1008Mhz (About 1,008ghz), and the minimum speed is 120Mhz (About 0,12ghz). I don't understand why :v I only left it unpowered for a few weeks and now its clock speed just got decreased f…

Hi guys, I have an Orange Pi with Armbian running on a 5.4.88-sunxi arm 7l, and I'm trying to connect a CSI gc2035 camera. According to the manual, the gc2035 camera is only supported by Linux 3.4. Is this correct, or is there a workaround? My Orange Pi can't detect the CSI camera—do I need to switch to Linux 3.4?

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.

Hi, I have an OrangePi_4b (RK3399), mounted in aluminum case, in which I am going to install armbian. I also have a mini-double fan that I want to attach to the outside of the box, to cool it. The approximate power consumption of this mini fan is 300 mA. According to the orange pi 4b manual, I find these Gpio: PIN1 VCC3V3_SYS PIN2 VCC5V0_SYS PIN4 VCC5V0_SYS The questions (to whoever can answer or has experiences) are: For those pins respectively, what is the maximum consumption per pin, measured in milliamps? Is it feasible to connect the mini-fan to Gpio (V + GND)? If possible I am thinking both 5V (pin2 and pin4) an…

I like Guix system. I really like it on my desktop, so now I want to use Guix system as the OS for my Orange Pi 5 Pro as well. The problem is, the Arm distro for Guix System is only available for Generic EFI and I didn't have the money to buy a Orange Pi 6 Plus. But I figure, why not install Armbian on SD card and have it boot Guix System on the SSD? Is that possible and if so, how would I achieve that? So far I've been able to 'dd' the guix system install ISO onto the SSD. It seems to have an iso9660 filesystem.

Hello, Thanks for armbian on Banana PI, it is really wonderful compared to official releases. I installed the image "Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.904_Bananapim2ultra_trixie_current_6.18.29_minimal.img.xz" on my Banana PI M2 Berry (there is no image for this type), and all is working wonderfully well ... except rebooting or shutting down the Banana PI. When typing reboot, all services stop but the screen blocks on systemd-shutdown[1]: Rebooting. and it never reboots. It does the same for shutdown, stuck on same kind of message. Could you help me please ? Regards

I'll soon be adding a 4 port M4 SATA hat (Marvell 88SE9215) to a NanoPiM4V2 and was wondering if it will be supported in the current release of ARMBIAN? Or, will I need to build a new image? If so, what driver might I need to add to the kernel config? pi@raid:~$ uname -a Linux raid 5.8.17-rockchip64 #20.08.21 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 31 08:22:59 CET 2020 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

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. As I can see in the schematic for the OPI PC+ the SPI0-bus is connected to the external connector (40-pin header). The SPI0-bus is also connected to the NAND-flash. May this the problem that the touch doesn't work? …

Hello, the description of Armbian image for Olimex Teres-1 mentiones that it supports HDMI auto-detect. Which i suppose it means basically HDMI support. However, my HDMI display is not detected at all. No message in journalctl/syslog. xrandr finds only one screen. Does it work for owners of Teres? Just to make sure HW-wise all is OK i tested that with the Olimex provided image v1.5 and the HDMI output works just fine. Thanks

I know it sounds crazy. But at least every 1 out 3 reboots, the sbc will shutdown instead (no hdmi output) and not boot back up. Rebooting in terminal whether remotely or locally will have the same effect. And when it fails to reboot and just shuts down instead, my linksys router (ea9500) disconnects the internet (devices still connected to router). I have to power cycle the router to get it working again. This occurred on a fresh installation of the current focal releases. I would say I had to restart my router at least 15 times in the past few hours, and every time it happened was when the reboot command failed. The sbc is connected via ethernet, and the internet…

Hi, As I can see on latest kernel for beta/trunk Armbian: https://imola.armbian.com/beta/pool/main/l/linux-6.18.6/linux-image-current-meson64_26.2.0-trunk.281_arm64__6.18.6-Sb6fe-D8ec8-Pe0be-C7d3eH1ff9-HK01ba-Ve377-Bc630-R448a.deb There is no module ip_tables (should be under /lib/modules/6.18.6-current-meson64/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/), so iptables does not work: "modprobe: FATAL: Module ip_tables not found in directory /lib/modules/6.18.6-current-meson64" Is this intentional? Thank you!

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 all, Im new to Armbian and sbc's. I have a OPi Z+2 and NPi Neo Air and they are both being used for the same purpose, will use 2x UART and I2C. I will add software bundles to Debian image for production use. Can anyone tell me if I can use the same Armbian image on both devices ? ie make a single image and then just rely on the Overlay selection on the image to allow our custom software to access correct GPIO automatically for both board types ? Thanks for any advice. Chris

Hello; on OrangePi Zero LTS I have completely stupid values for CPU temperature. They were all reasonable for pre-LTS boards. I have read somewhere that this is a known bug. A kernel patch is probably available, but even if it's the case,I can not update my kernel. Where can I find the algorythm to compensate the value ? It's easier for me to fix the issue in userland code, rather than updating kernel. How can I distinguish between pre-LTS and LTS boards ? Maybe MAC address for LTS are always in a given range ? I have a legacy board with MAC 12:42:98:f9:c8:XX, and a LTS with 12:42:3a:63:04:XX (unfortunately the LTS has a lower MAC :/ does not seem chronologica…

Hi, first post here and it's a question. I have searched on here and generally on the 'net with no luck. I have a N2+ in a KKSB case, I'm trying to get the power button working.

The current kernel version of the board is 4.9.7, and I am trying to update it to 5.9 with the Real Time Kernel patch. For compilation I first got the default sunxi config as follows: make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- sunxi_defconfig After that I enabled Expert Mode to be able to select the Preempt RT option in General Options of the make menuconfig. After that I started compiling, and after a while I got the following error: DTC arch/arm/boot/dts/sun4i-a10-a1000.dtb In file included from arch/arm/boot/dts/sun4i-a10-a1000.dts:46:0: arch/arm/boot/dts/sun4i-a10.dtsi:44:41: fatal error: dt-bindings/thermal/thermal.h: No suc…

I am a beginner here and wanted to install Armbian onto my MXIII android box. This was my conversation with ChatGPT.

Hello everyone I would like to set the monitor sleep time from the terminal. on Banana pi M1 with Armbian. You can help me ??

I installed it on a 3D printer and when the system starts, the Wi-Fi connected to the USB slot is not detected. Before that, the network manager installed it. After starting the machine and the OS it does not work, but when connected to a LAN it is detected as a USB device. If you take it out and put it back in after the operating system starts, everything starts working. What is the problem? How to automate?

My orange pi one is not getting usb 2.0 speeds. The log shows 2.0 in dmesg but when I tested usb data transfer using DD and a flash drive i only got 6MB. Anything I can do to get faster speeds?

Hello, I am having reboot issues with my Odroid C4 running Armbian 21.08.2 Focal with kernel 5.10.60 on an eMMC card. I run the SBC headless and log in via ssh. When I issue the reboot command it shuts down but does not start up again. Does anyone know how to resolve this? It is kind of annoying to everytime cut of power and then connect the cable again. I also issues the command: nand-sata-install as recommended on the download page but this does not help. Many thanks! regards, Udo

So I'm seeing this up as a media device for my aunt who has nothing but an old crt TV. So I tried h3droid for user ease, but it's not near stable enough and crashes whenever anything is running any load on the cpu. Retro orange pi gives her a desktop and easy interface for watching movies/tv shows and playing old games. The problem I'm running into is I can't get any media file to play. I get sound but no visuals on Kodi and VLC I've tried converting the files from mkv to MP4, I've tried changing codecs h.264->h.265. I don't know what to do because she will never understand/use a command prompt so I wanted to hook her up with something easy.

Hi, I have a USB OTG supported device lets say Orangepi zero. I would like to convert this device as a USB Printer. 1 ) Mimic the connected USB printer (so that the machine thinks it still has the original printer attached) 2 ) Capture the output from the machine 3 ) Send the captured output to the printer.

Hi, I have a Pine 64. Latest stable kernel works fine, but after update to kernel > 5.0 I don't have network. dmesg shows the next lines: Could not attach to PHY stamac_open: Cannot attach to PHY (error -19) Tried a 100 mbit switch, even that isn't a solution. Strange thing is it has worked once a month ago. Power for the board is supplied by the Euler bus. Update: update to the latest kernel (5.1.3) and now I see in in dmesg: Unsupported interface mode: rgmii-txid. Tried this solution: but it doesn't work. Thanks, Rene

Hi there, Xunlong seller says max size of uSD is 32GB. But I have seen thread posts that mention 128GB. So my question is: what is the max uSD card size with RK3399?

Hello, According to the changelogs on https://docs.armbian.com/Release_Changelog/, the 20.08 version on September upgrade the EspressoBin to the Kernel 5.6 and the next version 20.08.3 it was updated to the 5.8 kernel. When I go to the archives for the Espressobin (https://archive.armbian.com/espressobin/archive/) I cannot find the 5.6 version. Is there any reasons for that or is a missing link? Kind regards, Fernando

I'm trying to run the following on edge devices, the remote interface to which does not support a traditional terminal (i.e. no interactivity): armbian-config --cmd ROO001 At the conclusion of this command running, the user is prompted through the UI/TUI to reboot the device. How can I avoid this reboot prompt, and just proceed with the reboot immediately? e.g. the Raspberry Pi OS raspi-config tool allows for the nonint parameter to be passed: raspi-config nonint enable_overlayfs The intent is to automate enabling of the read-only fs. Hardware is various Raspberry Pi and ROCK Pi devices running Armbian. I've already conf…

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

Hello, Trying use SNAPD on Rock64 board (4G RAM). After install SNAPD and LXD (or other SNAP app) everything works. But once I reboot board - it won't start and I see Kernel Panic on screen. Any ideas why and how I can try to fix it? Thanks.

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.
