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 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…

Hi all, Testing some versions of the Armbian img for the latest Orange Pi 5 Plus, right now im using Armbian_23.8.2_Orangepi5-plus_jammy_legacy_5.10.160_gnome_desktop.img and noticed when Im RDP in from windows machine, the audio from the OPI it doesn't get played back through. I did noticed when re-login locally back on the same user account, the audio card shows "Dummy Output" and no audio from the 3.5mm port. Is there a fix for this ? even on another version ? I have tested a few and all appears same result. bookworm_legacy_5.10.160_cinnamon bookworm_legacy_5.10.160_gnome bookworm_legacy_5.10.160_xfce …

I'm trying to setup k3s on a raspberry pi 5, and I can't seem to get the cgroup enabled on the kernel. I edited the /boot/armbianEnv.txt file adding: extraargs=cgroup_memory=1 cgroup_enable=memory and when i cat /proc/cmdline or /proc/cgroup it doesn't seem to be enabled and I don't see the edits from the env file. Can anyone help? For context I'm trying to get k3s up and running on the a few raspberry pi 4s as nodes and a five as the master to the issues is currently on the 5. I'll be verifying I get the same results on the 4s tonight. Read through a bunch of posts but haven't found anything suggesting something other than editing that f…

after installing wireguard (kernel upgrade + headers) the pi would no longer boot and fail with crc error. Looking at the boot partition the uinitrd file was linked to the old version. Changed the uinitrd link to the newest one and it booted again.

Thanks Riccardo

Is there anyway to backup your whole emmc to img and use it for flash.

I can not ssh into my Orange Pi Zero 2 . I get "incorrect password , permission denied" repeatedly. I have loaded latest Armbian 23.11 and some older images all with same result. I used "1234" as password. My Pc has Linux Mint 21.2 and I used Xfce terminal also XTerm. Both My Pc and Orange Pi Zero2 are plugged into same switch. Also used a laptop with Linux Mint 21.1 and Xfce Terminal with same result. Any ideas would be great , I'm just any average user that tinkers. Thanks

Hi all, I have a working Pinebook Pro Focal build with LUKS encryption enabled. The only issue I have is that when booting no progress or password prompt is displayed. As soon as I enter the password and hit enter I see the boot logo or console output depending on what is set in armbianEnv.txt. I will be continuing my research and learning about the boot process in general but wanted to check in here to see if people had any obvious pointers to share or whether maybe this is a known limitation that is going to be hard to resolve. Thanks, Matt

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…

I have a working Armbian SD card and I used it for some time made some changes in the system (disabled some services, installed some libraries and made new services etc...). I use this SD card with Cubieboard-3 (Cubietruck). And I have a backup of the entire root filesystem from that SD card. Now I've got second Cubieboard-3 device and I need a second SD card to boot the second device into the same OS with actual changes. The good approach would be to backup only CHANGES in some manner that would allow me to install fresh armbian to new SD card and them roll my changes to it. But instead, i started a stupid approach of doing this: just copied the entire filesystem to back…

Hi there, I have a working armbian jammy on my odroid c2, but I'm unable to get SPI to work. I tried to load the three as described in the odroid wiki (https://wiki.odroid.com/odroid-xu4/application_note/gpio/spi#tab__odroid-c2😞 sudo modprobe spidev sudo modprobe spi_gpio sudo modprobe spi_bitbang ...and that works, but unfortunately no device file is created. I believe SPI needs to be enabled somewhere additonally. In the "armbian-config" hardware section, there is only an entry for the odroid n2, which does not help/work for me. Are there any other hints somebody can give me to make it work? thanks a…

Hi all, I am trying to bring up a new board that uses both Allwinner H616 emacs, the 1Gbps (emac0) and the 10/100Mbps w/internal phy (emac1). I brought in all patches found about that, but it looks like the emac1 does not work properly. It does not reset, this is what I found in the dmesg: [ 2.228695] dwmac-sun8i 5030000.ethernet: EMAC reset timeout As per the datasheet, the reg EMAC_BASIC_CTL1's LSB (SOFT_RST bit) is a bit that must set to 1 to reset, then automatically resets to 0 when the emac has finished the reset procedure. In my case, it remains 1 causing the kernel to unload emac1 driver. Anyone…

Hi, I'm trying to compile Armbian with TOC0 support for my opi-zero2, but am having difficulty getting the configuration setting to take effect.

Hi everyone! To cut long story short I have to make a microUSB port work as USB Host. I found out that there is a patch that will bring the port up. Last year I managed to build a full custom image for my board using armbian documentation.

Hello, Since I upgraded my Odroid N2+ to Armbian 23.11, when connecting to SSH, I can read the following: Welcome to Armbian 23.11.1 Buster with Linux 6.1.63-current-meson64 No end-user support: community creations & unsupported (buster) userspace! Since 23.08 I had the first part about only community creation, which I already did not understand but now it looks worse as it also mention Buster when I use Bookworm. What can cause this strange information? And what can I try to solve this?

On Armbian Orange Pi 5b webpage, one can download the latest image with kernel 6.7 Rrc1, not stable. Once the kernel (6.7) is stable, will there be a way to upgrade without reinstalling? Thanks.

Hi all, This used to work absolutely fine for me a couple of years ago but for some reason it isn't working at all now. I had to format the eMMC and re-flash it. Using either Bookworm or Jammy, when I try to run the script for boot from eMMC / system on NVME after the reboot it won't boot again. I've tried on both, tried before / after apt-update etc. Just doesn't seem to want to work when it used to in the past. This is what I'm seeing, apologies for phone photos, as I was in my living room, no way to take a screenshot. Any ideas? Thank you!

Hey, I'm new to armbian/linux and want to use an Orange Pi Zero 2 as a cheap OctoPi alternative. Bare Octoprint is already working, but I don't get the MJPG-Streamer for my usb-webcam to run. The OPiZ2 is running Focal 22.05.3 (5.15.48) and is up to date.

Hi all, Using Armbian Focal for a couple of years now and booting from an SSD plugged to USB (used the armbian installer to move to it) and it always worked perfectly but after an apt-update (stupid of me I know) I'm now stuck on a boot loop, it looks like the entire system is fubar'd. I don't mind formatting and reinstalling everything, the problem is that I lost the eMMC to USB converter I had and can't find any in the UK... Attached an image of what I'm seeing. Anything I can do to either salvage or do a fresh new install without the eMMC converter? Can be removed. Did a full format.

I have owned numerous Raspberry Pi boards over the years, and I have always have ran Kodi on one of them. For years I have been wanting to upgrade my RPi 3 as it cannot play any of my H.265/HEVC videos. With all the shortages, and how old the Raspberry Pi 4 is getting, I made a rather spontaneous purchase for this Orange Pi 4 LTS board. Getting it all setup is easy enough, but of course, the video (even with H.264!) nearly maxes all 6 cores and the video is chunky as it's just doing everything without any video acceleration. Even navigating the menu seems slow and delayed. I have been scouring these forums and other sources for about 12 hours now, and I am sti…

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 everyone, I have to make a custom kernel for a RK3568 based device with kernel 4.19.232. Currently running Ubuntu 20.04LTS.

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?

I have an OrangePi PC and a BananaPi M1, and both of them are able to switch to USB host mode or device mode by editing dr_mode in corresponding .dtb file.

Hello, Armbian community, I've been trying to build the Armbian kernel for my board "Orange Pi 5" with the rbd (RADOS Block Device) module enabled. I followed the standard build procedure using Armbian's build tools, and I explicitly enabled the rbd support during the menuconfig step. Despite doing this, after completing the build and installation processes, I'm unable to load the rbd module. When I attempt to load the module with modprobe rbd, I get the following error: modprobe: FATAL: Module rbd not found in directory /lib/modules/5.10.160-rk35xx Here are the steps I followed: 1. Cloned the Armbian Build Repository. 2. St…

Hi team! This may be the stupidest question ever… I am a long time Debian user. I have a project in mind where I plan to setup a dual node HA Haproxy balancer. This is pretty straightforward in Debian but I am wondering, is HAproxy even available for armbian?. I do not plan to have a big throughput for these HAproxy nodes, is for a homelab and more for fun than for production purposes… The idea is to use the cheapest dual gigabit board available, that’s why I will probably go for nanopi (which supports armbian). English is not my first language so sorry in advance for messed up wording/expressions/whatever. …

I've tried to install another window manager, like lightdm with xface4 with no success. I also tried to remove cinnamon and reinstall it, again to no avail. I did the same to x11 and again couldn't have any desktop manager running. Then I burned t…

Armbian build: Armbian_23.8.1_Bananapim2zero_bookworm_current_6.1.47 Hardware: BananaPi M2 Zero I am using pure CLI environment, and when the output is on screen I can't really tell what is the resolution or the refresh, but the monitor is 1080p@60 and it seems to be matching. Although when I run apps that use SDL2 for example; the resolution is changed, and I tried to set a fixed resolution but there seems to be no way to do so in Armbian. I changed the boot settings and those are correctly set with 1080p@60; then I tried to use xrandr (I have X11 installed as I have SDL2 installed too), and it says "can't open display" (I assume …

Hi, I have a broken Odroid C2 from a customer. I've never used Odroid so I was wondering if I bought a Odroid C4 and insert the card will it run ok ? Don't know any info about what's in the sd card. The customer bought from a supplier he no long intends to work with ever again. Can anyone help me in any way ?

Hello experts I'm a newbie and use my ofroid as server (mysql, iobroker, go2rtc) This need a lot of ram. So i try to reduce all service which i don't need. I disabled the gui (desktop) and ise only ssh. I use zram to be faster. Is there any other service which i can deactivate?

Is there a way to skip this phase? Is it possible to force board to boot from SD card again? I have BananaPI M2 Ultra v1.1 board and my goal is to get this little device boot Linux OS from its eMMC storage. 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 i have armbian on a 64gb sd card. The card works not so good and has 64gb i would like to move my full distributuion with all configs(wireguard, ssh, ftps, iobroker, ufw, etc) on a new 32GB card. how can i transfer it without losing data? Thank you!

I got Armbian 23.8.2 Bookworm with Linux 5.10.160-legacy-rk35xx successfully running on a couple of NanoPi R6S boxes. So far so good. Now I would like to use Wifi dongles (USB sticks) that I have on these machines. They use the `ath9k_htc` kernel driver. I have used this successfully on ARM-based machines earlier. However, Armbian does not provide this module. So I need to compile it myself (either obtain the exact sources that were used in the kernel I'm currently running, so I can recompile this single module or, perhaps more realistically, start a custom tree with the Armbian patches and config, from which I can rebuild on my own). I…

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

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

Hello everyone, I have been searching on the net trying to find a way to activate 3d acceleration since i want to use Jellyfin on my orange pi 5. After searching I found the option for ubuntu but not for bullseye, unfortunately I'm using bullseye due to OMV which won't work on ubuntu to use for my media server. Is there any way to turn on the 3d acceleration on Debian? I mean it should be possible since technically Ubuntu is based on Debian. but i was wondering if there are any steps that I need to follow.

I started seeing this happen "now and then" a couple of months ago, but over the last month it has gone to "multiple times a day". It's not always the same mirror. Frequently it's the airframes.io mirrors, this morning it was lv.auroradev.org The pattern is usually like this: Err:1 https://armbian.lv.auroradev.org/apt bookworm/main arm64 linux-libc-dev arm64 23.02.2 404 Not Found [IP: 23.186.113.5 443] E: Failed to fetch https://armbian.lv.auroradev.org/apt/pool/main/l/linux-6.1.11-sunxi64/linux-libc-dev_23.02.2_arm64.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 23.186.113.5 443] Is there a place to report these issues to get those mirrors fixed?

I have been using my OPi 5 for several months with Armbian on my NVMe ssd. I decided to shift my SSDs around, and removed the one that was in my OPi5 and put in a new one. I burned the latest Armbian 23.8 Bookworm Cinnamon dated Aug 31, 2023 using BalenaEtcher onto an SD card, put it in the OPi5, and it booted fine. I did apt update and upgrade, no problems. I ran nand-sata-install hoping to transfer the system to the ssd and it failed. My memory is fuzzy due to panic setting in, but I tried the Jameschambers process to copy the system over, and then tried to boot off the ssd card, and it failed. When I tried armbian-config it failed to update the MTD and reported no s…

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]

Hello I tried to shrink my sdcard (64gb, 17gb in use) and copy it to a 32gb card. I found a tutorial, but it don't work I fownloaded gparted and create a bootable device. The instruction 1.resize2fs /dev/sda1 [new size of the partition] in my case the original card is sdc1 2. Copy the shrinked device to the new device dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb In my case dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/mmcblk0 Is it really correct to use it without the "1" ? Sda, not sda1? However It didn't work.... Gparted gui shows me, that the original sd card has the original size 58.24gb. But I shrinked it to 27gb..... wi…

Hello people, Half a year ago I flashed Armbian to to Mekotronics R58 plastic box, which was then an unofficial version. It's been on the shelf a while. Now I see new Armbian versions for download. I plugged in my device and did an update/upgrade. See Neofetch result below. My question is: is there any reason to completely flash the new version? Or am I already fine? It seems kernal versions are the same! Everything works fine and looks awesome including RealVNC for which I had some work to do. Therefore I am a bit reluctant to ditch the current version. Couple of minor issues I have are can't get Samba working and boot from SSD. Bas …

Hello, I have enabled overlayroot using "armbian-config" command line tool (in my orangepi PC). My current OS is Armbian Focal xfce desktop After rebooting, I noticed that the entire filesystem stills writable. I checked the content of ( /etc/overlayroot.conf) using; cat /etc/overlayroot.conf this command show at the end of the file these two lines: (after commented content): overlayroot_cfgdisk="disabled" overlayroot="tmpfs" If I well understood, normally, with such a configuration, the filesystem should be set to read only., but in practice, it is not. Could you assist me how to resolve this problem?

I have attempted to install OMV on my orange pi various times and i have had the same issue weather with the OMV after installation or with the armbian os before the OMV installation. when you start the system, it just won't get it's Ip automatically, at first i thought my orange pi came with a problem from fabric since I'm new to this but after attempting to put an Ip statically seemingly making it work I noticed that it just would not be set automatically. Now surely you might think it's a problem with my router set up, but this won't happen when I try it out with any other equipment in my house or when i just run regular Linux in my laptop, even when i run the OrangePi…

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

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 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?

Now that xradio has been enabled on kernel 6.x, I'm ready to upgrade my Orange Pi Zero that I've been keeping on 23.02 with kernel 5.x. With armbian-config I've unfrozen kernel/firmware updates and after apt upgrade and reboot I am on kernel 6.1.53 and wifi is working! But boot message says I'm still on 23.02, and apt says that armbian-bsp-cli-orangepizero is being kept back. Now trying: $ sudo apt install armbian-bsp-cli-orangepizero [...] Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been mo…

Hi everyone! I'm new to the armbian world (but not to linux in general). I have two Orange PI R1+ LTS. After the last update, if I try to execute another update, using apt update && apt upgrade I have the following result: The following packages have been kept back: linux-dtb-current-rockchip64 linux-image-current-rockchip64 linux-u-boot-orangepi-r1plus-lts-current The systems are: Armbian 23.8.1 Bullseye with Linux 5.15.93-rockchip64 This happens after the last update, I've never had this issue before Thanks

I have a unique hardware setup with an ARMv8 architecture but a 32-bit 'armeabi-v7a' ABI. My goal is to install a 64-bit operating Ambian (or others, even a 64 bit Android Go if possible) system on this hardware, replacing the existing 32-bit setup. The device is a kids tablet ZIDS701 by Trayoo. The current OS is Android Go 10 32-bit. I'm kind of a newbie to firmware, so I'm reaching out to the knowledgeable members of this community for guidance and assistance in achieving this. I'm particularly interested in recommendations for a 64-bit OS that would be compatible with this setup and any steps or considerations I should be aware of during the installation process. …

Armbian 22.05.0-trunk with bleeding edge Linux 5.16.20-rockchip64 my armbian runs on a MKS SKIPR motherboard for a 3d printer. Since I updated the system, I can no longer change any files. I change it but after a restart the file is back as it was.since i have updated the system for example this file nano /etc/resolv.conf After saving and restarting everything is as it was. no matter whether as root or user Is there a setting that prevents or reverses changes?

Hello, could be possible to introduce the package with newest available GDB 13.2? The version 13.1 is rather unusable — it segfaults on regular basis.

Hello. I faced with a problem, I can't disable ipv6 completely on Armbian 23.05.1. Orange Pi PC. Tried to use armbian-config to disable ipv6 in Network menu, but no luck, apps can use it at the moment netstat -tulpn | grep ::: gives me udp6 0 0 :::53 :::* 1134/pihole-FTL udp6 0 0 :::111 :::* 1/init Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I've just installed Armbian on my OPi3-lts and I'm trying to get the IR remote working (the iDroid included in the kit from aliexpress). I've followed this guide (from "Second attempt" on), using only the kernel driver without intalling lirc. Found out the protocol (nec), wrote the rc_keymap file mapping the key codes to the button names and everything seems to work fine, down to the last command (sudo ir-keytable -v -t -p nec), which correctly gives me the codes and the button names associated with them. Now, the guide says it's all and I should be able to use the remote as I use my keyboard, but... the desktop and the apps seem not to be aw…

So, i have a rpi4b, i was installing LightDM. and when I started the service I rebooted and it said lightdM failed to start. So, how do i enter a shell Like ZSH. When LightDM failed and I can not enter by normal means.

Installed Armbian to SD-card-1. Booted Cubietruck from it: works great. Made some changes in system and wanted that changes to another SD card, so I copied entire root ( / ) filesystem from SD-card-1 to my-armbian.tar.gz. There is better ways of doing this: dd or another make-image-software or better remember my changes related to original Armbian and made that changes in new system. But lets consider my stupid way:) Got new SD card: SD-card-2. Created partition table with 1 partition. Made ext4fs on that 1 partition. Unpacked my the filesystem to the partition. Used gparted and set flag BOOT. SD-card-2 didnt booted. I realized that i need U-Boot on it. …

Glad to say creating virtual machine and getting Armbian build environment and running ./compile.sh was easy and successful for bananapim1plus / 6.1 kernel / jammy. Created SD card and booted and is running fine. Added DT overlay to enable spidev and got /dev/spidev0.0 as expected. Got new version of cross compiler to build code I formerly ran on fedora image and the SPI driver behaves differently. It pulses CS low for every transfer instead of optionally staying low for multiple transfers based on "cs_change" field in each transfer message. Found kernel source in build/cache/sources/linux-kernel-worktree/6.1__sunxi__armhf/drivers/spi, and tried editing there to begi…

I'm trying to find the img for the Banana Pi BPI-M1+ or Pi BPI-M1 arm64 in the archive, can you help me? Debian buster minimal img

I'm trying to get the armbian x86-64 generic image to run in virtualbox. I can successfully convert the *.img file to qcow2 and qemu will run it just fine. However, virtualbox fails to boot it in any format (qcow2, vmdk, vhd, vdi, etc). The grub menu comes up, but when trying to boot Linux then it just sits at a blinking cursor. I've tried converting this a variety of ways, such as using `qemu-img convert`, `vboxmanage convertfromraw` and `vboxmanage convertdd`. None of them yield an image that virtualbox will boot. Has anybody else had success with this, and/or know how to fix it? Thanks.

Hello! First of all. Sry if this was already menationed ins some thread. I tried to find the solution here I am using a ROCKPI E. I switchted my OS from Ubutnu to ARMBIAN 23.8 Bookworm. I am still confused, if this was a good idea. I read that ARMBIAN should be the “better” OS for the KERNEL. Is there a rule of thumb what to use? On my Ubuntu i made some settings to route my IPS, since i am controling a pump on ETH0 and using my LAN on ETH1. On UBUNTU i made this changes on dhcpcd.conf: interface eth0 static ip_address=192.168.1.50/24 static router=192.168.1.2 static domain_name_server=8.8.8.8 Since this file does not exi…

Hello, i installed Armbian 23.8 on my ROCKPI E. When i put a LAN cable into END0, everything is quiet, no leds are glowing. END1 works normal. I used nmtui and tried to activate it. Do i have to add somewhere end0? is this port not automaticly configured? thank you

Because I have updated to Armbian 22.02 with the linux 5.15.25 kernel and I am using the rk3328-nanopi-r2-rev00 device tree, I thought I should share what I have discovered. 1/ I had trouble setting up a one-wire device (ds18b20 temperature sensor). I think the w1-gpio pin assigned in the supplied overlay is messing up access of the SD card. I found some helpful information from this post: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php ... #pid100639 I copied the overlay code, modified it to use GPIO2_A2 (pin 7 on the 26pin header), compiled it and copied the new dtbo file to "/boot/overlay-user/" . Added the "user_overlays=rockchip-w…

Hello friends, I apologize for such a noob question, but I was not able to find the answer in the forums, nor via duckduckgo. Since the 23.08 upgrades were released (thank you again to team Armbian!), I noticed that the "default" image for the Orange Pi 3 LTS is Armbian 23.8 Bookworm. The minimal CLI image weighs in at 267Mb. My OPi3LTS SBCs are all running Armbian Jammy 23.08. The minimal CLI image weighs in at 195Mb. My understanding is that Jammy is Ubuntu (22.04.3 LTS), and Bookworm is Debian (12.0). But also Ubuntu Jammy is based on Debian Bookworm/sid. My questions are as follows: 1. What goes …
