I just got a working version of the mcp251x.dts overlay running an the Allwinner H3, and ran into a few issues along the way. I'd like to save someone the pain and maybe find the right place for a bug report for the old version of dtc in the image. Compiling the overlay with armbian-add-overlay fails on the target system because the following throws: dtc -@ -I dts -O dtb -o mcp251x.dtbo mcp251x.dts ... dtc: livetree.c:521: get_node_by_phandle: Assertion `(phandle != 0) && (phandle != -1)' failed. aborted The best reference I can find for this symptom is: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10015389/ Following them, commenti…

Hello, Thru various and sundry means, I have acquired this unusual specimen; a ZeroDesktop MiiPC M1140. This was originally intended to be a "family desktop PC" that runs on Android Jelly Bean and was released in 2013. It looks like a TV box had a child with a NUC. The machine runs a Marvell Armada 1500 Plus processor with 1GB of RAM and 4GB of storage. The company, Zerodesktop, ran a Kickstarter campaign to fund producing these - my model is one of the Kickstarter Editions. I know that the Marvell Armada 1500 was used in the Google Chromecast 2, along with a bunch of set top boxes. ZeroDesktop no longer exists as a company, having only produced t…

Hello, I would like to have some help with the video in Armbian. I have migrated to it and I want to make it the best possible. I hope there is some things I can do to make it run smoother. It is ok with small screen but not with full screen. I have a Tinkerboard S.

Hi guy's, trying to get my hdmi screen to work on some board (not really relevant but board is orangepi on and lcd is "7inch hdmi lcd (c), usb capacitive touch screen, 1024x600, rev 2.1" - the box it came in states brand is "waveshare") with armbian and I'm having issues. I don't care too much of getting screen to work "ideally", having txt console working is all I need. When I turn the board on I see everything properly, background is, as expected black, letters are white + some colors, it starts the booting process, looks for mmc controller, ethernet etc etc.. then it finds the kernel and start loading it and then - puf, the screen is gone... depending on what h3disp op…

Hello everyone, my wife has transitioned my family to google calendars and in an effort to keep myself up to date I built a Magic Mirror using an OP PC+. It worked beautifully in testing in standard video layout but to effectively use the screen I have mounted it rotated in a frame and this is where my problems began. Upon rotating the image in XFCE either 90 or 270 degrees video performance drops to single digit FPS. No increase in CPU utilisation so i cannot understand what the issue is. I have done a bit of googling and there is litle information and no apparent solution available. has anyone else suffered with this? …

Hello everyone, I urgently need help, as I am on the verge of throwing my Khadas out the window. I bought a used Khadas Vim3L HTPC Kit (S905D3) and want to use it for Navidrome and Audiobookshelf. The FLAC files are located on an external 2.5" WD Elements hard drive, first I intended to format this hard drive to ext4 and set it up in the setup process but it doesnt work and the first thing now is to setup the system,i will add the hd later. Currently, the Vim boots into CoreELEC (which appears to be installed on the internal storage of the vim). Im a total noob and thats my first vim / Board. I just can't seem to get it to work; no matter what I d…

Using legacy Ubuntu desktop image (currently with OPi One)... The application will be in a public place and will be shutdown/power up by a personnel. Whenever my application starts, I have full control of the display area. On the other hand: * At the very startup boot process with armbian logo is shown * Desktop does uploaded and shown shortly (my application starts with automatic user login) * In case of a shutdown (button press, IrDa, remote control etc) the desktop is shown again, screen gets blank and up again, shows login and shuts down (do your boards do that?)... How can I prevent these? What I tried: * Looked if I could …

I am trying to setup my Odroid-XU4 with Armbian 20.05.2 booting from MMC and no SDCard in slot. It took me a while but finally I found what I needed. Next I've installed OpenMediaVault using armbian-config, that worked well. Within OMV I've tried to setup VLANs which I could define but they didn't work, so I had to take a deeper look into it. I've found that the interface name needed to be reverted back to eth0 since the new naming convention enx<MAC-address without ":"> uses the max available number of characters already: In my case "enx001e06320261" , so if you add a vlan "enx001e06320261.1" the name is to long, it will not start. This could be so…

Hi ! 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 ...". This error dont come of my network, i can ping the server of the rstp stream, on the second hand, it perfectly work on another pc. Well i think it come from armbian but what i am missing ? Thank

hi there, I'm trying to power my NanoPI over a Loudspeaker cable with 12V. At the end I have a 7805 voltage regulator with 100nF at input and output. At the Powersupply i meassure 12V and 200-300mA current. The 7805 gets extremely hot! Anyone seen similar behavior or got me a tip? Sincerely, Twosky2000

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.

Opi pc - retrorange pie 3.0 1. Is there a default volume start and setting? 2. YouTube plays good but some website sound very static and distorted, any fix?

Hi, I am currently using Armbian on my Pinebook Pro. I am having an issue with the volume up and down keys on Armbian. They are not working; other keys like brightness control seem to work without issues. I have checked the XFCE keyboard application shortcuts and there seem to be two items relevant to volume control: amixer set Master 5%+ amixer set Master 5%- I have checked out other xfce based distros and they don't have these explicit shortcut. Do I need to delete these items to make the volume up/down keys work? I was also asssuming that pulseaudio is the default software for managing volume (not alsamixer). Do I ne…

I'm looking to potentially set up a dedicated VPN server probably using an Olimex Olinuxino A20 Lime 2. The main thing I was somewhat confused about is how to connect to my router and how to ensure that traffic is routed through the VPN server? Presumably to connect to my router I would just use an Ethernet cable. But how then would I ensure that all traffic goes through the VPN? The vast majority of SBC that I have seen only have 1 Ethernet port so connecting devices physically is a no go. I assume I might need to use some form of port forwarding?

Hello Everyone! What is the kernel config option that I need to set to enable the VPU driver? Background: I'm using the most current RK3328 RENEGADE armbian image (debian non-desktop) on my ROC-RK3328-CC (Libre Renegade). I've compiled a brand new kernel with the armbian build tool. first, I cloned and compiled gstreamer and it's plugins from Github. Everything works fine but no video acceleration... So then I clone, compile, and install libmali, mpp, gstreamer-rockchip and gstreamer-rockchip-extra, and although the new pluggins are now available to gstreamer (specifically mppvideodec), whenever I try to use mppvideodec, I recieve the following e…

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+

Good day! I have made modifications to the kernel driver for the temperature sensor Dallas ds18b20 on w1 bus. Slightly corrected timings, have achieved stable operation of sensors with parasitic power, and also added the option of changing the resolution. Now you can easily set 9,10,11 or 12bit resolution, by a simple command "echo 9..12 > /sys/bus/w1/devices/28-xxxxxxx/w1-resolution". Accordingly, when you lower the resolution significantly decreased the response time of the sensor from 1100ms (whith 12bit) down to 125ms (with 9bit). My question is can I post here the modified source code of the driver, or it will violate any rights? w1 folder, after mo…

I am using armbian with Orange Pi Pc. I am using Chromium, Netsurf browser. Both these browsers can display chinese characters without problem. However, w3m is unable to display chinese fonts.

Dear Members, I want to play around with docker on my NanoPI R4S, and while doing that I don't want to kill my micro SD card. For this reason I connected a USB SSD, formatted it with ext4 and mounted it onto /data. Now, I want /var to use /data/var as a bind mount, in order to lessen the burden on the SD card the system is running on. What is the right way to achieve this with Armbian? Thanks! Janos

Since some H2 and H3's run hotter than some people would like, and people are measuring voltages etc I thought I'd make the following warnings for your benefit in the hope that we collect quality data and solve all challenges quickly. Measuring voltage accurately Your DMM (digital multimeter) may lie to you. Measure the input voltage as well as the test voltages before posting voltage readings. Check with the resistance setting that the resistance of your probes touching each other is close to 0 ohms. I own many DMM's and one of them reports horribly inaccurate voltages when the 9v battery is near or less than 8v. If your DMM sucks, buy a better one (link at botto…

I just upgraded my Linux Mint from 22.2 to 22.3 "Zena" ...

Hello, i have Waveshare 10.1 lcd and trying to get USB touch working. On mainline it is working out of the box, but on legacy its not working at all.

I have a Waveshare 2.8 A TFT LCD (https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/2.8inch_RPi_LCD_(A)) and I used it with the orange pi zero LTS board using the instructions given here: I used Armbian_5.90_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.19.57.img as the OS, downloaded from the Armbian download page archives. It worked on the first try, and displayed the console on the LCD screen. I was able to log into the Orangepi Zero board from the serial port (ttyS0) connected to the PC, from ssh in Putty on the same PC, and also from the console shown in the LCD (tty1) using a keyboard attached directly to the orangepi zero. I started following other tutorials to try and …

Hey. I have a waveshare 4.3" 480x272 screen, that I'm trying to get to work with my orange pi zero +2, or nanopi M1 plus. However, I can't get the screen to show the right resolution - that only seems possible on my raspberry pi (which I don't want to use for this project). I've been running over all the (little) info I can find, and it seems to be a general problem to get hdmi working if the screen edid is a bit flaky - is this still the case, or is it possible to get this combination of opi/nanopi to work on this display? Regards. Anders

Hi. I have an Orange PI Zero 2 It displays fine on a normal TV through HDMI but on the waveshare there is no display at all. The waveshare display works fine on the HDMI output of my Windows PC.

If you can please point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/4inch_HDMI_LCD Thank You

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

Hello, I have a OPI 4 and sometime my board switch off and some of the OS I tried doesn't work. I suspect a voltage issue. I would like to know if there is a measure of voltage done by the board ? If yes how can I access to the measure ? Thank you. Best regards, Viken

Hi guys! After moving my project from Raspberry to Orange i`ve got an issue with gpio access. I`m using Lighttpd as webserver and running python scripts from touching buttons there. But on armbian it doesn`t work because of permissions settings. here is screenshot of simple script that turns on led tried lots of google finds, but without any success. What is wrong? oh, i`m using pyA20 library

I installed aiohttp and lighttpd. Both work on the chromium browser locally. When I port forward them. I can access them with my public ip address. But I can't access them just by typing their local ip in my laptop's browser that is on the same LAN network. So im not really sure what is going one here, something dns related ?

Hi, im trying to build a receiver with WebRTC. I tried multiple Boards (Raspberry PI 3B, RPI 3B+, AML-S905X-CC, NanoPI Fire3), but none of them had the power to display a Full HD Video.

So now my question would be if I can get Hardware Acceleration in Chromium with the mainline kernel, with Allwinner H2/H3? Or is there any other Option I can get WebRTC Hardware Accelerated?

Hi all, digging into the Orange Pi 6 Plus specs for a potential build. Can anyone confirm the M.2 slots (the two Key-M 2280 ones) are PCIe Gen 4 with x4 lanes each? Official docs mention NVMe support but are light on details. I'm curious if this could handle a low-end GPU like an RX 570 (or even lower) through an NVMe-to-PCIe adapter/riser—thinking for light gaming or compute tasks. Has anyone tried eGPU setups on this board or similar ARM SBCs? What about power delivery, drivers, and performance? Running Linux (Ubuntu/Debian probably). Thanks for any insights or benchmarks!

I have multiple n2s and I don't want them all to be called odroidn2. What is the recommended way to change the hostname of an armbian system?

Usually, when I configure SBC devices (in particular headless as the OPI Zero), what I do is to disable NetworkManager (even uninstalling it) and to provide a basic standard configuration on /etc/network/interfaces. However, I am noticing that the NetworkManager it is becoming more and more interleaved on the standard Linux configuration (as it is happening with systemd). In fact, my thought is that NetworkManager it is more a desktop thing than a server one. My question is: What is the right method to configure static servers, having unmovable IP addresses, routes and these types of things, with current and future Armbian releases? If it is nec…

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.

I have a few STBs that I would like to install linux just for fun. 1. Amino A540 2. Arris VIP6102W 3. Kaon KSTB2020 Which STB would be easy to start with?

For my Mekotronics R58 mini PC I downloaded and installed latest Armbian build "bookworm". When I want to execute the suggested scripts to add Mali PPA's for hardware acceleration, I get the error "no release file" for these PPA's. What to do? Wait until it gets solved? Download and install Jammy in stead? Would the PPA's then work without error? Or is there another workaround? Thanks for any pointers! Bas

Hi Armbian forum team, i have bought some HC1/XU4, very fine boards, thank's, but have a wifi AP+STA pb. odroidhc1 / kernel: armbian 4.14 / wifi module 3 lsusb -> Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

It's a Debian stretch server (Armbian to be specific). When I ran "apt-get update" the day before yesterday, it gave me an error: "The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 648ACFD622F3D138 NO_PUBKEY 0E98404D386FA1D9". I searched the Internet and finally resolved the issue by running the following commands: apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 648ACFD622F3D138 apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 0E98404D386FA1D9 Initially I tried to use "--keyserver keyring.debian.org" but it didn't work. Therefore, I did some further research, and I read from https://wiki.debian.…

Hello everyone, I have not been able to make the OrangePi +2E (with Armbian Bullseye) of which I present the ix.io that can be seen from the lines 605 to 636, in which the dmesg seems to reject the ADALM PLUTO. I have another device with Armbian Buster, this one is a pcDuino4 nano fully compatible with the OPi One image in which the result is exactly the same. Not that I am an expert, I first contacted Travis from Analog Devices but he asked me if there is any special flag on the USB nodes in the device tree? But I haven't touched it, so I thought I'd come to consult you here. I hope you can help me, Thank you very much, Regards VH PD: here (https:/…

Hello Friends, There is a requirement from Client to not run lvextend command if it was run in last 24 hrs. I have tried the following and still havent figured out how to do it, any help will be highly appreciated: 1.] Have tried checking /var/log/messages, dmesg command logs. There are no kern.logs in the server so cannot check that as well. 2.] There is no /var/log/syslog so cannot check that. Also cannot activate logging by modifying lvm2.conf file as there are many servers. 3.] 'history' command only displays 10 commands and that too from current tty. If there are any files which gets added with any volume group changes information please suggest…

I've configured and connected to a wifi network just fine, but I want to change the config non-interactively. The config isn't in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf or anywhere else I'd expect, and https://github.com/armbian/config/ only mentions hostapd. Where's the config stored? Edit: /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/[my SSID]

I'm using Armbian 21.08.2 Focal with Linux 5.10.60-sunxi and I try to setup a bonding interface for failover between eth and wifi. It doesn't seem to work after a reboot. Where are all the interface's files? In RHEL it's under /etc/sysconfig/network, debian it's supposed to be /etc/network/interfaces but this last one contains only source /etc/network/interfaces.d/* # Network is managed by Network manager auto lo iface lo inet loopback Thanks!

Dear All! I dont find Armbian for orangepi mini Where can I download the distribution for Orange pi mini? The latest working version? Help me

I used to come here some time ago and the first i always visited was the overview of supported boards. It included a photo of the board and the supported and unsupported features. Now i surfed and searched for almost an hour and can't find this or a similar page anymore. Where is that page gone? And i thought i was smart to first check out what boards are well supported before buying one. I saw this new Orange Pi "Orange Pi Zero 2W 4GB RAM + Expansion Board Development Board Allwinner H618 WiFi-BT Orange Pi Zero 2 W Single Board Computer" featuring two USB-C ports. Does anybody know whether that supports Armbian and OTG for a UVC camera and a USB-C Power supply? I do not …

So...I'm trying to find the linux headers for my Banana Pi M1, so I can install Wireguard on it. But seems there's no sanxi headers? Also...no headers for that kernel whatsoever. The generic ones stop at 4.18 then jump to 5.0. Then there's a bunch of raspi and raspi2 headers, and then the misterious to me linux-headers-edge-sunxi 21.05.6, which I guess won't work on mine. Where should I get headers for my Banana Pi? Also just in case, I'm a bit worried about doing something too drastic, since this little thingy is located in another continent. Thanks!

Hi. I need the serial number of the CPU of the orange Pi boards. I see it is in the file /proc/cpuinfo I need another place that is not file based as the cpuinfo file can be spoofed. Is there a way to read it directly from a register?

Hi all, apologies I know this isn't the correct forum to post,but, I have a question regarding the armbian build process for a raspi5b , but unfortunately I can't post in the correct forum because It requires the url of my build log which I don't know the location of - anyone here know where that is ? I use SHARE_LOG=yes as a parameter to compile.sh and my build machine is a x86_64 GNU/Linux with a 1gb ssd and 32gb of ram - please ignore the tag I couldn't find an appropriate one

On my NanoPi Neo Core, the flash has the following partitions: Most of the drives I've encountered have the starting sector set as 2048, while this one has 49152. I'm assuming that U-Boot reside before the 49152th sector. How can I see what is below 49152th sector in the partition table?

Where has enabling things like I2C moved to ? I do not see it any more in armbian-config (at least on the Orange Pi 5 plus image) Thanks

It been a while since I have made custom images for the OrangePi PC Plus so things have changed a bit in the intervening period. First I made the development environment change to Ubuntu Focal, then changes to a couple of patch files to bring them into line with the new u-boot and kernel versions however I have simply lost the ability to display an Armbian splash screen during boot. In the past I had patched general-armbian-boot-logo-on-screen-center.patch and general-armbian-boot-logo-on-screen-center copy.patch to show the splash screen I required however now these patches are this patch is no longer even referenced during the build process. Now, after th…

Hi, I recently upgraded from Armbian 5.38 to 5.70 (using apt-get upgrade). I regularly use /etc/init.d/resize2fs to enlarge the partition for the actual given SD-Card after installing the image. (Usually I copy a 4GB image on an 8GB card and run at the first boot sudo /etc/init.d/resize2fs start So how can I do increasing of the image now ? Thanks and Best Regards, Axel

Hi, I searched a lot, but no cure. I want to switch off the redLED heartbeat on an Allwinner H5 OrangePi zero+ under Debian buster. I can temporary echo it off, but it restarts again after boot. I want it off permanently. Rather than switching it off every time in rc.local, I want to eliminate the part, where its switched ON, but I can't find it.

Hi. In the new image of banana pi (Armbian_5.00_Bananapi_Debian_jessie_4.4.1) there is no ramlog. apt-get can not find it. It has been permanently removed?

To check the download, I've been told to compare the downloaded OS's SHA text file to the OS manufacturer's (armbian) website for their SHA. I asked this question previously but can not find the thread now. I'm using orangepiplus2e. Thank you.

On http://docs.armbian.com/Release_Changelog/I see am Armbian 5.25 with many improvements But on https://dl.armbian.com/orangepipc/the files seem to be 5.24 and older, even the nightly versions. I am interested in the sunxi mainline version with kernel 4.9. Thanks in advance! Christian

I need to get an armbian focal image for the Rpi4b. I've checked in https://archive.armbian.com and it only shows the current jammy variant. If anyone could tell me where I can download the deprecated images, it would be much appreciated.

Hello, I'm porting one of my application to Armbian. But where can I found libkms ? I did a apt-cache search but it didn't found anything ? Thanks Laurent

I've been seeing tutorial on how to setup ili9341 tft lcd and all of them are post from 2017 or older... tried doing it on newer version but I think ili9341 are not supported out of the box anymore by armbian

Sorry if I have come to the wrong place. A friend has given me an Orange Pi 5 Plus, fitted with a 1GB SSD, and I have been trying to get it started up. According to its previous owner, the SSD had been completely erased (I don't know why). It had no SD card with it when I got it. I downloaded the online instruction manuals, and set about trying to start it up, using a suitable 32GB SD card. I first tried with (OrangePi) Ubuntu, but ran into problems using Balena Etcher. It apparently transfers the Ubuntu Image to the SD card, but just as it appears to complete the process of verification, it produces a helpful error message ('There was an Error'....). I also tried wi…

Hi, My Armbian Debian Buster install has the package "armbian-firmware" installed at version 19.11.3.346. Since a few days/weeks, the package is no longer available on the APT repository. I couldn't find a reference in the documentation/forum about its removal, so I don't know if its absence is intentional or due to a bug. If intentional, I should probably install the regular linux-firmware packages from Debian instead? Or will the armbian-firmware package return? # cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list deb https://apt.armbian.com buster main buster-utils # apt clean # apt update Hit:1 http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian buster InRelease Hi…

The armbian I am running Welcome to ARMBIAN 5.31 stable Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 4.11.5-sun8i and few other versions that I tried have same issue with accessing GPIO from python as non root, and I, of course, need to access GPIO as non root however I setup permissions for /dev and /sys and whatever udev rules I configure there is some race condition and I can't get access to GPIO as a non root from python typical error is something like: :IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/sys/class/gpio/gpio1/direction' So I solved it by some hack of the OPi.GPIO library and udev rules that are not really feasible "always" so I'm tryin…

can someone tell me which board hardware supports video decoding with armbian? preferably with (C)VLC? Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi! I'm testing some orange pi device for use it on my projects as a substitute for raspberrypi. I need a device with OS installed on emmc. I have not had good experiences with microsd on raspberrypi due to data corruption. I thought that orangepi device with emmc flash was a good option. However I'm realizing that it is not as compatible as I thought. Make the spi display and spi smart reader work I think that's crazy. For this reason I ask you the following: Whitch device is most compatible with raspberry pi at gpios level? If had emmc or something more robust then microsd it would be better. thanks in advence

Hi, I need linux headers included in the distribution to install a given software because it requires a kernel modification. It seems that some distributions contain linux headers and some do not. Is there a way to determine whether a distribution has those headers other than installing and trying it out. I have an Orange pi + 2. cheers Martin

Hi. I am running OpenVPN, Samba and Plex with Armbian on my rockpis. I want to make a docker image from it. I am new to docker and I searched and found that I could make an image from Docker file or commiting in a container. I thought that commiting in container was easier for me. So I downloaded "twhtanghk/armbian" in docker hub and ran it. #docker container run -it twhtanghk/armbian bash But when I hit "#ls -ls /dev" in the container, it show different result with my rockpis' Armbian. So I am reluctant to start to install those. Is it ok to install OpenVPN, Samba and Plex with the image? Or which docker image should use? …
