I am not shure if this is board specific so I post it here and hope that you might be willing to try this on your board: - I installed audit: apt install auditd - I set up a rule for a file audit should watch: auditctl -w /boot/armbianEnv.txt -p wa - I change or touch the file being watched: touch /boot/armbianEnv.txt - I have a look at the log of audit: cat /var/log/audit/audit.log And then ––– I see nothing... Any hints what's going wrong? My guess is that the kernel might be lacking the audit module?!

motd is no longer showing on boot with my rockpi-s and rock s0. (same cpu) I feel like this started when I updated from 24.8.3 to 24.11.1 Anyone else having this problem?

Hi, I'm trying to download the image to add to my sd card, but all the images I tried downloading, either through direct link or torrent, give me this error: Internal error - code should not reach this point I couldn't find any information about this anywhere, and it is happening with all the images and versions. Can someone please help me download them? Thanks!

I have compiled OpenCPN Marine Chart plotter and navigation software for the Orange Pi PC with the Mali graphics acceleration. It seems to be working fine. I am trying to document the process and possibly make a prebuilt image available at opencpn.org. http://opencpn.org/ocpn/Install_Orange_pi_Allwinner I am not happy with the name they gave me for the page. And the details at: http://kb7kmo.blogspot.com/2016/04/opencpn-on-orange-pi-allwinner-h3-arm.html My question is how should I reference armbian? And how should I reference the hardware? Since it appears that a number of these boards are very similar and would probably require the same steps on the …

Hello, I'm trying to build a image using the amazing auto builder supplied by armbian. In the past I've build kernels and modules for linux running at CycloneV-Devices. I don't need graphic support. If I use the image for a M2 Plus there is a initialization issue at mmc: MMC: SUNXI SD/MMC: 0, SUNXI SD/MMC: 1 Card did not respond to voltage select! mmc_init: -95, time 22 So I'm stuck. Is there a way to get it running by using the auto builder? Using the stock image provided by the manufacturer works. Regards, Sombohan

Pretty simple question, I know a few years ago the temps provided by armbianmonitor were off by 10-15 degrees celsius, is that still the case today? Or are those temps accurate in newer versions of Armbian?

I'm trying to access GPIO through python using the following library: https://github.com/duxingkei33/orangepi_PC_gpio_pyH3 Online guides say that for OPi One this should be a plug and play solution. However, for me, the pins dont seem to be mapping properly, running dir(ports) and dir(connector) yields the results shown here All the PAx pins are missing, and the results bare no similarity to the actual pin config found here any help appreciated, Andy

I am currently working on a Development Board based on RK3288. We are using Rockchip kernel as mentioned here https://github.com/rockchip-linux/kernel This uses libdrm (DRI) for its rendering purposes. But it has limitations. Only one CRTC is connected out of 2. It provides 8 planes, out of which only 4 are available for the working CRTC, out of which user available OVERLAY planes are only 2, and out of which only 1 Plane supports NV12 rendering. I need to show 2-4 videos simultaneously, can anyone help me here on how to procure more planes, particularly NV12 compatible OVERLAY type, that can be connected to the working CRTC?

At 19:54:55 kernel crash happens. That for some reason forces system to change time to Aug 24 1978. systemd reacts to that situation strangely, which puts system under unresponsive state, like infinite loop, potentially causing 100% cpu occupation (this is guess now) The printouts "Aug 24 07:45:10 ptc_lab_collab3_node17 systemd[20635]: Time has been changed" follows many times per second until node is rebooted manually.

I have a brand new install of Armbian 20.05.4 trying sudo armbian-config to enable overlayroot and getting sed: can't read /etc/overlayroot.conf: No such file or directory is that a feature of a bug? would touch /etc/overlayroot.conf be a proper work around or is something more expected of me to enable overlayroot?

Hello, I'm new to the subject but I have a problem. I have an Orange Pi 3 and i want to install a linux based system on it to mess around with it. I tried to install armbian but with the nand-install-sata script I can't install it on my eMMC memory, since armbian doesn't see i have one. The only thing it offers me is to update the bootloader on the SD card. So i went to /dev/ and my eMMC memory isn't shown there. I just have mmcblk1 witch is my SD card and mmcblk0p1 wich is my armbian partition on the SD card and nothing else. I figured this was due to the fact that maybe this version of armbian didn't support emmc memory, so I tried with the foca…

Guys, I've been trying for quite a while to get a custom resolution of 1280x390 to work with my Odroid N2+. I can get that resolution to work with the official builds from Hardkernal, both Ubuntu and android, but I'm needing the hardware acceleration in the graphics that's working in armbian. Can anyone help me out with trying to get this resolution set? I'm not sure if I'm putting or creating the u-boot settings correct or if there's an issue with trying to use xrandr to set the resolution. Unfortunately the EDID of the HDMI board is not reporting the correct resolution. I have the modeline information that works with the official builds and works perfectly with the…

I was updating packages on a host running on board "Orange PI PC", running Armbian bullseye version 22.02.1.

Hi, I'm running a FriendlyElec CM3588 board, really enjoying Armbian, but the CPU fan does not work whatsoever. It's meant to be powered from the 5V outlet marked FAN (close to MASK button). I replaced the fan with another one, same result - so hopefully it's not the hardware at fault. I never dug into fan control on Linux, anybody knows what to do?

I just downloaded the Armbian_community_26.11.0-trunk.52_Orangepi5-max_resolute_vendor_6.1.172_gnome_desktop.img (from here: https://armbian.com/boards/orangepi5-max) and flashed it to an SD card. I put the card in the device and booted it but when it comes up, it dumps me at a root bash prompt (auto login) and nothing else happens. I had previously downloaded the Armbian_community_26.11.0-trunk.52_Orangepi5-max_resolute_edge_7.2.6_gnome_desktop.img file and flashed it to an SD card, when it came up it ran a provisioning script allowing me to add my timezone, user definition, etc. Shouldn't this execute on all images the same way? Is there some way…

Hi, Did today a kernel update...upon reboot, has no connectivity. I have lost swconfig; copied the one that comes with the sdcard/img download, it booting the switch by default, but does not allow to do much more...the reset and set operations are giving an error. What could I do?

Hello! Is there some Allwinner's based board that can work as usb-client under mainline kernel? Looks like other people want only host-mode from OTG-port with mainline kernel =( Thanks

I saw references on the site to a countdown in days to a major new release, but that has now disappeared, and I also see various mentions of version 5.34 but I do not know where to obtain this. The highest release in github seems to be 5.24. How does one find this? Apologies if this appears to be a stupid question - I looked everywhere.

Hi, I had already compiled ffmpeg on a 32bits OS for my Orange Pi RK3399 when it ran the Orange Pi 32 bits Ubuntu without too much trouble, but now that I have Armbian on my 4B, I'd like to compile ffmpeg too.

Hi forum members, I need to run a script only once at boot or reboot. Using the @reboot method in the crontab is not working under Armbian. For example neither of these lines at the end of the /etc/crontab file is working: neither @reboot date >> /home/pi/boottime.txt nor @reboot /home/pi/control.sh init >> /home/pi/init.log Please has someone a hint how to get it to work under Armbian ?

Hello, I'm using armbian on Orangepi PC PLUS and i'm controlling GPIO pins with Python. Everything is working fine when I start my Python script. Problem is during boot with GPIO3, because it's by default on pull up, and that is making me problem on device which is connected to that pin. Can I change that pin to be default OUT and pull down? When my python scripts starts, it will change GPIO3 to OUT and set it to 0, but I have only problem during boot.

Hi, I have a few Orange Pi PC Plus using Armbian bulldog and have two questions / issues. its my 1st post and not sure where best to ask 1.

Hi, I just switched from an ancient ubuntu-rockchip install to armbian ubuntu 26.04 with the mainline kernel. I did a bit of an unorthodox installation, I wanted to install on an nvme drive, and instead of using a microSD and then copying the system with armbian-install, since I didn't have a working microsd available I did a "manual" installation, I flashed rkspi_loader.img into the SPI taken from the armbian image and then flashed the armbian img directly to the nvme drive with an usb adapter from my PC. All is good and working fine, but I'm wondering if I'm missing any settings that gets applied during the armbian-install process (are there any?) that …

Hi, I am trying to determine whether this is expected behavior or a bug/ordering issue in Armbian's armbian-ramlog.

Is it possible to use the nand-sata-install script non-interactively?

I have a small C program where a GPIO pin on Orange Pi is polled using digitalRead. It works fine and detects HIGH and LOW as expected. When I put a dupont wire with nothing connected at the other end (ie. just extend the GPIO pin) digitalRead starts registering intermittent HIGHs and LOWs wildly. What the heck am I seeing? I have a Raspberry 3 nearby and it does not show this phenomenom. Using digitalWrite on the pin works as expected.

my ISP blocks port 80 so I need to use something like port 82 for a server I want to run from my house. In the ISPConfig control panel there is a setting under Sites -> Webdomain -> Options where one can change the http and https ports but that does not seem to do the trick. On one experiment I chanaged the listening ports in the nginx config but then none of the things like wordpress would run once installed. So what is the 'correct' way to change the listening port for all servers on an Armbian box running ISPConfig / NGINX installed from armbian-config? It works great but I break it every time I try to fix the port issue by instructions I'…

Hi I would like to run my OrangePi +2e with absolute minimum power consumption ie no display, no wifi, reduced clock speed, etc. I only really need ethernet and USB function. When I first set the OrangePi +2e up I ran Armbian Jessie and there was a package that I downloaded from one of the forums that allowed me to manage such things. I can not find this package again. I don't know if it would work with Stretch. The Armbian Config might do this instead? Any help greatly appreciated. Regards Carlos

So I'm trying to debug a 32 bit C compiler circa 1983 that only compiles in 32 bit. I have the compiler working in Linux Ubuntu 18.04 and later with multiverse (32 bit) support installed. I thought to myself PI OS would have to be one the most popular used and supported 32 bit OS, so let's compile and debug the the 32 application in a complete 32 environment. However on the PI OS 32 bit while I have managed to compile to compiler with no issues it doesn't execute and gets seg faults. No problem I can debug it! Except I can't because if I use the debugger via Geany or directly it complains it can't find variables higher up …

Hello all. A possible mission impossible challenge for someone who wishes to accept it and this message will not self-destruct in 10 seconds. :-) The LED1 (green) and LED2 (blue) on the BanabaPi Pro. How do I get them to show the watchdog heart beat and the MMC card usage? An out-of-date Rasbian Distro for the Lemaker BananaPi Pro had this feature this right-out-of-the-box, but at the moment on Armbian I've only got the steady red power LED. Is there a way to enable this functionality within Armbian?

Hi, I need to configure a GPIO as input with pullup enabled and tried https://forum.armbian.com/topic/10462-nanopi-neo-2-set-input-pull-up-via-device-tree/ For some reason PIN PG06 is still floating. It is not pinned to 3,3V. PG06 -> GPIO198 -> UART1_TX/PG06 right? Multimeter shows ~0,447V /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "allwinner,sun8i-h3"; /* * This fragment is needed only for the internal pull-up activation, * external pull-up resistor is highly recommended if using long wires */ fragment@0 { target = <&pio>; __overlay__ { input_0: input_0 { pins = "PG6"; …

NanoPi M4B doesn't have dedicated page and image. But hardware is very closed to "NanoPi M4" (same CPU & RAM) Do you know if I could use NanoPi M4 version on M4B? I'm willing to buy a NanoPi M4B but I want to be sure armbian will be compatible

Is there an SPI LCD module that works out of the box with the latest armbian image for the orange pi zero board? I am using Armbian_21.08.1_Orangepizero_focal_current_5.10.60.img and it seems to be missing fbtft_device file which looks like it is very important. I have also seen forums and blog posts that say SPI LCD will not work, or there are no working drivers, for linux kernel 4 and higher, and that I should use linux kernel 3. I am currently also testing out Armbian_5.90_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.19.57.img which I believe has kernel 4.19.57. Where can I download an older image that has kernel version less than 4? The LCD I need to use …

I am trying to auto login to Armbian 21.08.2 on an AML-S905X-CC I have found this link on the forum, but I am not following what I need to do to skip the login. forum.armbian.com/topic/16788-auto-user-login/ Any help would be appreciated.

Not that I ever got this working correctly on Raspbian, but how do I go about requiring a password for sudo? I am able to change the password via 'sudo passwd' without error, but I still don't know how to make the system request the password every time I sudo. Thanks so much Joe

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?

Hello. I have been struggling with creating a local build environment that will be guaranteed to work today, next month, next year etc. My hardware is Radxa-Zero and I want to run kernel 6.1.23. Currently I find that the build environment, in various ways, breaks the build over time. I've been chasing a stable build for kernels 6.1.23, 57, 58, 59. The build environment, by default, grabs the latest 6.1.y kernel, which is no good for me. My root FS and DTB are for 6.1.23 and I don't want to keep updating everything just because I need to make some kernel configuration changes. I have tried the BSPFREEZE and OFFLINE_WORK build options but t…

With the latest version of Armbian I am no longer able to edit the IP from Armbian-config, is it possible to have instructions to set the static IP?

Looking at lscpu reports turns out that my board is vulnerable to spectre v2 because eBPF is enabled. I tryed to disable it by using sysctl but it seems it doesn't work (this is the solution used by ubuntu distributions to solve the problem 'sudo sysctl kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled=1 or 2'). I'm on Debian version. Is this option kernel dependent?

Hi! First of all, HELLO! I'm new here. I'm trying to install my wifi dongle Realtek RTL8188CUS that I had for my raspberry pi in my Cubieboard A20 with ARMBIAN Xenial Server Legacy and I can't do it work. Has anyone tried? Thanks!

I have a newly-installed Armbian_5.25_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113 image. I find that I am unable to successfully upgrade the image. Note that operations like 'apt install hostapd' complete without problems. A transcript of my attempts follows. upgrade.log

Hello. I'm the one who is the owner of Banana Pi M3... Vendor provides "not so good" OS images... And I want to use best available kernel with the best available linux distr. So, my first question is about kernel version. Can armbian run under 3.4.39 kernel? https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-M3-bsp To make build reproducible I need to fork this repo and made modifications of the file tree. As I know, Banana Pi M3 now can boot under mainline uboot. Also, there are some binary blobs to support GPU on this board, and I want to try those packages to get hardware acceleration.

Hi everyone, I'm just a beginner with Armbian and OrangePi. I have some questions, please help me if you have time: Orange Pi PC Plus has serial PIN J3 and GPIO Serial PIN -> What is the difference between them? J3 is maybe debug serial ? I'm trying to write a python example to communicate between PC and board. I have also DB9 module and USB TTL but the problem is that I don't know from where should i start. thank you everyone , I'm waiting for your answer. have a good day

Hello ! I'm trying to make DuetSoftwareFirmware (software to control 3D printers boards using a SBC) working on a OrangePi4B using armbian (The software works well on raspberry pi 3 and 4). It use a SPI interface for data transfer between SBC and the board as well as an extra pin "data transfer ready". I use the pin 22 on the connector for "data transfer ready". This pin is mapped to GPIO1_D0. So GPIO pin number is 56 ( 1 * 32 + 3 * 8 + 0). For now, I'm getting errors because it seems like the pin can't be set into event mode. Below is the part of the source code (it can also be seen here) // Set up the pin gpioevent_request t…

Hi, I installed Armbian 22.05.3 on a OrangePi Zero. There is a huge file in the root directory of the microsd card named qemu_fstype_20220704-070826_11972.core owned by root that is almost the size of the card. What is this file?

Is anyone prepared to sell me a 16Gb micro SD card preloaded with Raspbian O/S for Banana Pi BPi-M2 Berry board. I have been trying for some weeks now to install this O/S but I just can't get Phoenix Card to work. I have had lots of advice but none of it works. Can anyone help. Regards, robjim418@gmail.com

I am going to have to type a lot of words which I have no idea what they mean.... but here goes. I have bought an Orange Pi 4 LTS and the official touchscreen which goes with it. This connects via a flat ribbon cable into what is called port LCD1. I believe it is MIPI - although have no idea what that means. The screen works perfectly, but is in portrait. I can rotate the screen to landscape with randr or in the gui, but the touch doesn't rotate with it. I tried using xinput (which wasn't installed) and xinput calibrate as well, but neither did anything. I believe that the screen was installed by adding a line in a file cal…

Hello, I flashed the Armbian_22.11.1_Pinebook-pro_jammy_edge_6.0.10_gnome_desktop.img file on the 64GB eMMC card of my Pinebook Pro (PBP) laptop but although the eMMC recognizes the image (the ARM logo appears on the screen for a few seconds), booting stalls at (initramfs). I proceeded as follows: 1) First copied the image file from my PC on a 64GB SD card which I inserted into PBP, booted it from the SD card and installed Armbian-Ubuntu without any problem. 2) Downloaded the Armbian*.xz file a second time - this time from the SD card installation -, uncompressed it and flashed it to the eMMC with a USB-to-eMMC adapter after having formatt…

I tried setting SKIP_BOOTSPLASH=yes from Hidden options for advanced users of the Build Options page, but the Armbian splash screen still appears. Since I have to ask here, I am obviously not an advanced user. 🙃 How do I eliminate the boot splash screen as I am building/testing images? ./compile.sh \ BOARD=visionfive2 \ BRANCH=edge \ RELEASE=lunar \ BUILD_MINIMAL=no \ BUILD_DESKTOP=no \ KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no \ SKIP_BOOTSPLASH=yes \ CARD_DEVICE="/dev/sdb"

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 …

I'm looking forward to buying a BIGTREETECH Pi v1.2 board to use as a slim home server to replace my Orange Pi PC. I've had pretty good experience with Armbian so far and I would like to make sure I can continue using it with the new board. I didn't find a specific image for BTT Pi v1.2, but I did find a "Desktop > ARM64" entry. I'm confused on what should I use and whether it's supported at all. Can someone clarify that for me? Скрытый текст Changed the post tag to the closest one to this board, since it doesn't allow posting without a tag, and I misunderstood what "unmatched" tag meant

Hi everyone Board: Odroid HC1 Tried to install Sonarr using armbian-config(softly) and it worked just fine, tried the same with radarr and got the following error during installation: tar: This does not look like a tar archive gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now. Looks like an issue with the package not beeing downloaded correctly. Any Ideas?

Didn't see anything from a search of the forums, so ... on a Rock64 with Armbian, I have compiled the 8723bu driver since it is missing. However, when this driver is loaded, only 2G wifi APs are visible. I am trying to connect to a 5G wifi AP. Other devices do not have a problem connecting to this AP. The Armbian install just can't seem to see it. I see the usb wifi in iw and in iwconfig. I'm just not sure how to get the usb wifi to connect to 5G when only 2G wifi APs show up. I've tried the usb wifi in all three different USB ports, and in all cases it still can't see 5G wifi, only 2G. Is there some config file or manual command that I can issue that w…

For reason I can't explain here , I had to run a video player at Non-X window OS ( Armbian_5.96_Aml-g12_Ubuntu_bionic_default_5.3.0_server ) at a S905X tv-box. I tried to play a mp4 video ( H.264 + AAC ) at the video player ( mpv ) with drm driver. The quality is just so so. Is there any other driver recommended ? Did Amlogic provide a linux video driver which can hard-decode h.264 ？ Regards !

I have one problem a bit hard to explain. I had a monitor with VGA, and that was working with my Orange Pi Plus 2e, but I had to change the monitor to DVI and the screen doesn't work anymore. I can't see anything. even if I try to run with my television (32'') i can see the screen when it's loading the armbian (the commands), but when it tries to open the GUI I cannot see anymore. I want to cancel the autologin to GUI to change the size to use the command line to change the screen size, but I have no idea how to do it, I didn't find anyway to do that. Anyone has any idea?

Hi I have used Armbian quite a bit now for various projects with great success and even debugged my own hard-to-solve issues. I am considering using an H3 based board (OrangePi + 2E) to replace the cheap junk media player I use. Incidentally Armbian will run on that device, but I am not sure what the video support is like- its a RockChip RK3xxx series SoC. Now, out of the box, Armbian (Buster, Focal, etc..) video playback stutters on Full HD (720p and up) content, particularly at full screen. I understand this is because I need to install a binary blob driver for the GPU? I've done this on normal desktop PCs before running Ubuntu, which is very easy to do, h…

I was initially overjoyed to find these loads for the Macchiatobin, as they allowed me to install a boatload of software including drivers for a PCIe device.
