Hi All We are having a problem where on booting the /var/log is filled and uses all mmc storage space. Does anyone know how to intervene in te booting process to stop this mapping and filling up of the fs? This issue sometimes causes the device to fail to boot properly and remain inaccessible. (It may indeed be that an unclean shutdown is causing this problem). Booting up properly is essential for us and we do not want or need these logs . We send the logs over the server, so capture these anyways. This posting refers to our same issue: Any help much appreciated. Thank you for Armbian! Best wishes Eric

Hello, guys! I would appreciate so much if you could help me develop my project. English isn't my native language(but I can understand very well) and I'm a beginner on Linux world. But I've made some progress so far and I'm really focused on that. I have been searching a lot for more than 20 days about the topics below but I'm really struggling with some issues. MY SETUP: -MXQ PRO 4K- Rockchip RK3228A - Nand Flash 1GB -Armbian_22.02.0-trunk_Rk322x box_focal_legacy_4.4.194_xfce_desktop.img GOAL: -Displaying in full screen my PDF lyrics on stage and switch the pages using a footswitch.

Hello everyone. This is my first post here. My background is software development but not very experienced in the Linux SBC world. So, I have 2x Radxa Zero 3W (not listed on Armbian) with a Rockchip 3566 MCU. And here the questions start... - why don't the Orange Pi 3B or Quartz 64B Armbian images, with the same MCU, don't work on the Radxa Zero 3W ? Aka, shouldn't an OS be portable ? I'm not expecting such of Windows, but I did expect it from Linux - what do the loaders contain exactly ? I have this situation where an older loader seems to boot with Armbian (and then shuts down) but a newer one doesn't... yet the older one doesn't work with the OS from Radxa …

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

Hello! Why if the device boots without eth0 physical link connection, and than when physical link is established, device do not get dhcp metric automatically, and network services needs to be restarted?

Ever since I updated the BPi recently, the ramlogger stopped working. I'm regularly getting mail from the Cron Daemon saying this: /usr/lib/armbian/armbian-truncate-logs: 19: /usr/lib/armbian/armbian-truncate-logs: logrotate: not found … so, it looks like the paths are messed up since the program is definitely installed in `/usr/sbin/`.

Apologies for this noob question but I am still new to Ubunto. If a piece of software is currently available as a binary archive only and the accompanying installation advises unzipping it to "a folder" and running the software from this place I presume this is not really advisable, as would be the same in the Windows world. In which case, should I install the software in, say, /usr/share and run it from there or is it okay to just unzip it and run it out of the /home/[username]/ directory? Thanks!

I have removed these packages: iw wireless-regdb rfkill hostapd (no wifi) ntfs-3g btrfs-progs (filesystems I don't use) stress iozone3 (benchmarks) qrencode (huh?!) alsa-utils (no sound) ifenslave (not needed I think) sunxi-tools (different processor) command-not-found (don't want it) And then apt autoremove to remove corresponding libraries etc.

Hi I'm trying to use OpiZero with a relais module. I noticed, during the boot the pins I tried (12 and 11, physical 3 resp 5) go high, which makes impossible to manage the relais module. Is it a HW/SW bug or limitation or something what can be configured somehow. I would expect the level to be "nothing" ;-) Thanks Chris

Hi all, I'm trying to port a driver built for Raspberry Zero to Banana Pi M2 Zero. The original driver is here : https://github.com/pguyot/tagtagtag-ears (it's supposed to drive the ears of a Nabaztag, which recently got resurected thanks to an Ulule campaign). My understanding is that at least half of the problem is to adapt the device tree overlay for the BPI M2 Zero. If it"s not half of the work, it's definitely required. So far I've been unsuccessful. The original DTS overlay is like this : /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "brcm,bcm2708"; fragment@0 { target = <&gpio>; __overlay__ { gpio_encoder_left_…

Hi!, i got some issue with armbian version 20.11. The problem is similar to https://forum.armbian.com/topic/2076-a20-cubieboard-2/ . I tried to blacklist the ir, too. But it do not fix my problem, because there were changes at the commands to blacklist the ir. But also i am not 100% sure that it is the ir, because the prompt shows me the stacks and pointed at the smbd PID (at the appendix - fotos). (Sorry for the bad foto quality!) I appreciate your help!

Hi everyone I have a litlle problem with my customize-image.sh, in my previous version builded last year everything go ok, but currently I cannot copy my scripts from tmp/overlay to /home/$user. When I am looking into the logs everything looks properly, few moments ago I tried copy these files into root folder and everything is ok but I still cannot copy anything to my home folder... I also try check proper adduser command logging into the system during build and I also find my home/$user catalogs but on the built image home folder is empty. Have you any suggestion or solution to fix that issue ?

Hello everyone, I encountered a "No space left on device (28)" issue while compiling custom firmware and would like to seek your help. The firmware compilation process works fine under normal circumstances. However, after using the customize-image.sh script to install my own applications, the rootfs size became 3285 MiB, and I encountered the "No space left on device (28)" error during compilation. I modified FIXED_IMAGE_SIZE to 6G and recompiled, but the same issue persisted. After mounting the raw file, I confirmed that no additional files could be added. I suspect there’s some parameter restricting this, but I’m not sure…

Hi im having problems when booting armbian on my OPI5P it is just blinking green and not showing a picture. I am using this version of Armbian: Armbian_25.5.1_Orangepi5-plus_noble_current_6.12.28_gnome_desktop.img and I have tried it on all boot media i have available (NVME, USB and SD card) but none worked.

Dear all, so after switching from bananian to armbian around half a year ago, I've made several updates to the bananapi server running. As the prototype server is still running with bananian, some problems just occured as I am now testing a fresh install of my web-package, including nginx, mysql, php7 / laravel and some other stuff. So what I realized was that the database, even on a fresh install, is extremely slow. I thought the newer setup with debien stretch and mariadb 10.1+ might be the problem, yet running the same on the older armbian jessie build did not change anything. I also set up a fresh virtual machine running debian stretch with two cores,…

Friends, tell me is it possible to get the SID on the device itself? With the article, read: http://linux-sunxi.org/SID_Register_Guide In my sun50i-h5.dtsi: soc { sid: eeprom @ 1c14000 { compatible = "allwinner, sun50i-h5-sid"; reg = <0x1c14000 0x400>; } } #: sunxi-fel sid > ERROR: Allwinner USB FEL device not found! As I understand it, this utility retrieves from a remote device connected in FEL mode. But is it possible to somehow get the SID directly on the summit device?

I need certificate AP6210 in regulatory agency here in Brazil (ANATEL). My AP6210 works very well, no problems. I have certificate a similar WIFI/BT module that use Broadcom too in recent past and for this manufacturer send two things: 1. A mfg firmware that enable module hardware control (to set power, channel, duty cycle, technology, etc); 2. A tool called wl that allows send commands For bluetooth a little program that controls this part. I'm looking for similar tools for certificate AP6210 but I cant find this anywhere. I have tried contact with AMPAK and no answer. Appreciate for any help.

Hi, I just got my Orange Pi Zero for a Pihole. Running with a quality PSU and a SanDisk Ultra 16GB A1 card. Everything went perfectly fine, Pihole is the DNS for LAN, while my router handles WAN DNS (DNS over TLS with Cloudflare). I'm concerned a little bit about logging. What do you recommend to keep the sd card safe. I think Pihole is logging to /var/log/ whete running for less than 24 hours I have pihole.log 3MB size, with pihole.log.1 around 2MB. Is there a way to use log2ram for this or a good practice of log rotation, writing to RAM, etc? Your help is welcome!

It doesn't differ (much). Major difference is that when you start with a Debian / Ubuntu you start with a DI (Debian Installer) and install Debian to some drive. That process is identical on all x86 Ubuntu based Linuxes. Only background / colours, configurations, perhaps an application / GRUB versions is changed ... We only provide "LIVE" image because of different hardware design / scenarios. Its more suitable this way. Once you login into Armbian, all tutorials and install cases will work the same way as they work on particular Debian / Ubuntu version https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials with rare exceptions when application does not come with arm/arm64 b…

I have tried downloading the Armbian Buster release for the BananaPi M3 but it only seems to have a EXT4 partition and no FAT BOOT partition. How am I meant to prepare an SD Card ? How do I go about getting the BOOT Partition or kernel and rdinit files for a boot partition ?

I'm trying to run any standard Armbian image on QEMU on my Ubuntu machine, and I found this post on this forum. I installed QEMU with: sudo apt-get install -y qemu I downloaded "Armbian_20.08.1_Orangepione_buster_current_5.8.5.img" and copied the following files from the image file with PowerISO to a directory, "/myfolder": 1. boot/vmlinuz-5.8.5-sunxi 2. boot/initrd.img-5.8.5-sunxi 3. boot/dtb-5.8.5-sunxi/sun4i-a10-cubieboard.dtb I then ran QEMU with the below command: qemu-system-arm \ -M cubieboard \ -m 1024 \ -cpu cortex-a8 \ -dtb /myfolder/sun4i-a10-…

Why is the support of the Banana M2 model on the A31c processor stopped? I am ready to become a tester. In the firmware in the "overlay" folder there are "dtbo" files for sun6i and sun8i, but they are absent sun7i-***.dtbo, which makes it impossible to work on the a31c board with sound and serial interfaces. Please return the missing files to the firmware or provide a link where you can download them.

Armbianmonitor: http://ix.io/3zoC I am using a NanoPi R1S-H3 that runs on the Allwinner-H3 CPU: https://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=274. I flashed a copy of Armbian 21.08.1, Buster current 5.10.60 for the NanoPi R1, which has a similar H3 chip. The R1S-H3 has an onboard SDIO Wi-Fi card that requires the RTL8189ES drivers, which I have loaded in already. Unfortunately, I am unable to use the Wi-Fi card on the device. I did notice an error: "mmc2: error -22 while initializing SDIO card" which might be the cause. However, I am not too sure on how to go about resolving it. Any suggestions? Thanks in advanc…

An Orange Pi R1+ LTS is on its way to me to replace the Orange Pi R1 that currently serves as my firewall (my fibre speed has increased and 100Mbps PHYs are too slow) The board is similar to the Orange Pi R1+ except that a NIC has a different chipset. Orange Pi R1+ LTS uses Rockchip rk3328 and has 1GB DDR3 memory and two 1 Gbps NICs. Compared to the Orange Pi R1+, the Realtek RTL8211E PHY has been replaced with a YT8531C PHY. The memory is also DDR3 vs DDR4. Armbian has WIP images for the Orange Pi R1+, but not the Orange Pi R1+ LTS. I guess that this could be a good starting point if I can figure out how to change the PHY.

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.

Hello I'm using armbian on a Neo 2 board and I wanted to use a Quectel EM05 or EC25 LTE modem with it. Actually only need the serial port to send AT-commands. My question is, are Quectel modems natively supported by armbian (QMI? MBMI? ), or do I need to add the driver manually and rebuild the image??? Thank you (Yeah, it's a noob question ) Edit: Ok, I connected to modem to the board and realized that a wwan0 interface was created. That's fine, but I actually needed the serial port ttySx in order to sen AT-commands, but there is not one available... that's actually very strange.

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?

Can't compile my RTL8188eu driver any more since upgrade from 5.14 to 5.15. Any advice where they gone or how to fix the make file? Background: the shipped driver are broken when it comes to WPA PEAP Enterprise. The wifi module quickly overheats and stops. My current understanding is that this driver uses hardware encryption which overloads under this condition. My solution was to use these driver, that apparently don't use HW encryption: https://github.com/universam1/rtl8188eu Unfortunately, they don't compile any more now because of missing kernel files. Any help? Thanks

Hello, I attempted to port the dirty COW fix (https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=19be0eaffa3ac7d8eb6784ad9bdbc7d67ed8e619) for 3.4.112, and came up with this: https://github.com/SvenKayser/Sambooca-Kernel-H3/commit/543472582a6adcef12fae4ad11da72a62f29fb74.patch Apparently it solves the issue, but to be sure maybe some of you guys can give it a test. If it checks out please do commit it in the right places for Armbian - which I wouldn't know (Armbian has so many kernel patch folders, I don't wanna mess things up) Regards Sven

Hi, I'm trying to use orange Pi PC+ as router with AWUS036ACS rtl8811au wireless card. I did benchmarks on PC with ubuntu 16.04 and driver from github (8812au version 4.3.20-beta). I can achieve max throughput possible on speedtest at very close range (120Mbit). Same driver on orange pi mainline Armbian Stretch and barely can hit 10Mbit mark. Tried different drivers and default driver from kernel tree which is version 5.15 and results are the same, miserable.

Hi, I asked earlier about getting armbian running on a particular RK3399 system-on-module, but I wanted to try a different angle now: is there an RK3399 SoM that currently runs armbian well?

I fixed the module.lds missing problem using the receipt from a bugreport with an extra Makefile target: PWD=$(shell pwd) VER=$(shell uname -r) KERNEL_BUILD=/lib/modules/$(VER)/build # Later if you want to package the module binary you can provide an INSTALL_ROOT # INSTALL_ROOT=/tmp/install-root MY_CFLAGS += -g -DDEBUG # for newer 5.10.x kernels with x<=4 $(KERNEL_BUILD)/scripts/module.lds: $(KERNEL_BUILD)/scripts/module.lds.S sudo sh -c "sed '$ d' $(KERNEL_BUILD)/scripts/module.lds.S > $(KERNEL_BUILD)/scri…

This is the method of cloning I have been using for several years. Saved me lots of time. Applications: YUMI, QT5-fsarchiver, Wine, Live OS, and Sandisk USB. 1 Make a bootable-usb using YUMI. Install a live OS. I prefer PClinux Live on a sandisk USB 128/256gb or Solid-State drive. Bootup the USB and install QT5-fsarchiver using synaptic. 2 Or install QT5-fsarchiver in any PC/Laptop. 3 Plug in the Tinkerboard, or what ever, to a USB port and create a full backup image of the MMC or SD card. 4 Save the image file anywhere. 5 Restore the image using QT-fsarchiver to any memory device. Note: In the PClinux live insta…

Hello. I have orange pi system with 3 USB-UART converters. After system boot i can find them in /dev as /dev/ttyUSB0, /dev/ttyUSB1, /dev/ttyUSB2. But after system reboot converters can be not at same positions. Is there any way to make first converter /dev/ttyUSB0, second /dev/ttyUSB1 etc. ?

Hey Gang, I'm a very novice linux user, just know enough to get around and follow instructions for the most part. I recently started getting the following error when trying to ssh to my armbian box from an up to date macbook. Unable to negotiate with <ip address> port 22: no matching host key type found. Their offer: rsa-sha2-512,rsa-sha2-256,ecdsa-sha2-nistp256,ssh-ed25519 I've read online that you can get around this with "-oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss" temporarily, but I cant seem to find a guide on how to regenerate the host keys on armbian to match more current standards (or what I assume is ssh's up to date minimum) Doe…

Hi, I need set the PC1 pin as output on a device driver using the new gpiod_export() method.

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…

I have an Ubuntu 20.04.06 system where my /var/log zram mount ran out of space. I took a few steps to address this (see below), and after rebooting, /var/log is no longer a zram mount. I've tried to find mentions of zram or ramlog in log files, but can't find anything that looks like an error message. /etc/default/armbian-zram-config and /etc/default/armbian-ramlog both still show they're enabled. Any idea how I can fix ramlog to come back up? - mv auth.log ../log.hdd/auth.log.240912 - mv mail.log ../log.hdd/mail.log.240912 cd ../log.hdd gzip auth.log.240912 gzip mail.log.240912 df -h # df showed /var/log as still full # it …

I am getting a series of errors related to EXT4 zram checksum that look like this one: [3328.749555] EXT4-fs error (device zram0): ext4_readdir:189: inode #11 com find: path var/log/lost+found directory fails checksum at offset 4096 (and other offsets) I've seen a recommendation as a possible fix to the checksum error : disabling metadata_csum, using "tune2fs -O ^metadata_csum /dev/zram0", with the file system umounted (I don't know how to unmount zram) The error apparently is related to bad hardware (not the case) , old kernels that don't support new versions of programs capable of altering the fs.

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.

Hello, I've been using a M4V2 since its release mostly as a NAS (disks over UBS 3.0). I also have it booting from a Samsung NVMe with the official NVMe hat. My setup works flawlessly however I was thinking about ways to add more storage with reasonable performance/price so I thought, what if I managed to add a standard PCIe x1 port from the pins on the board and use standard hardware with it. The idea was to add a cheap PCI switch + NVMe adapter (to boot from) and a PCI to SATA controller such as the following: 1) PCI Switch: https://www.ebay.com/itm/PCI-Express-1X-to-4X-PCI-E-4-Ports-Switch-Multiplier-Expansion-Riser-Card-New/293564888…

Hello, A while back i was using my rock64 as a media player running armbian with some success. Since a hiatus and reinstall of the latest armbian focal mainline release, the i2s output no longer works. I can get output on the 3.5mm jack, but not on the RCAs of the DAC board. I spent some time playing around the fdtget/fdtput with no success as i don't really know what i'm doing in that space. Does anyone know how to enable I2S? Volumio got mentioned allot in my google searches, so i tried that and viola the DAC works again. volumio@volumio:~$ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: HDMI [HDMI…

We have all seen the recent release announcement of Armbian 21.08 which now includes a beta release of Debian 11 (Bullseye). I have a RockPro64 (Rockchip 3399) that is currently running Debian 10 (Buster) that I would like to upgrade, so that it gets the latest packages from Debian and continues to receive security patches. I am tempted to just upgrade it by editing /etc/apt/sources.list and pulling the latest packages (the debian way), but I wondered if there is a safer way to perform the upgrade. Has anyone else upgraded a Debian based Armbain system that way. Are there any issues to watch out for? What customisations are there in Arm…

Hello, Now I got 3 different sata -> USB Brigdes but none of them are recognized by any of the USB Ports. I was just wondering which sata is build onto a orangepi 2 plus so that it works.

Hi, Do I have to create a Default Custom Command line under Preferences/Advanced in Xarchiver to allow zip files to be extracted with SU level access or is there a way within the desktop GUI to launch Xarchiver with SU level access? I want to extract a .NET binary archive to /user/local/bin, which needs SU write access. I realise I could use the command line for this but I like working with the desktop GUI. Thanks

before I used the -f option with h3disp, the framebuffer would always take the same size as the display resolution I'm setting. However, since I used the -f option once, if I now use h3disp without the -f option, the framebuffer size remains locked to what I had set before, even if the display resolution changes as requested. How can I set it back so that the framebuffer always takes the proper size when I use h3disp even without the -f option?

Dear members of the forums. I am shopping for a new single board computer, already have a few manufacturers, but I am not sure yet. Couple years ago I bought BPI-M2U from Sinvoip, and I regretted that soon. Sinvoip was not providing good documentation nor open source contributions of drivers. So to avoid the same situation, I'd like to ask which manufacturers are co-share, contribute to open source and don't sell boards with schematic errors? Orange Pi (4) Khadas (Vim3) Friendly Elec (m4) Odroid (N2) Thank you in advance and sorry if this is not the right forum.

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. …

How use s_rsb0 as TWI ???

Are there any plans to add support for the MCP7940 real-time clock? It's much cheaper than the DS1307 and mostly compatible. The biggest difference is Reg0b7 which is "Clock-Halt" in the 1307 but "STart" in the 7940. The 7940 also has some extra register bits like OSCEN which are default 0 in the 1307. I tried naively enabling the rtc-ds1307 module and it didn't work. An actual DS1307 chip worked immediately (just hot-plugging the break-out boards while executing "hwclock -rf /dev/rtc1"). The actual error I get is: "Timed out while waiting for the time to change", "The Hardware Clock registers contain values that are either invalid (e.g. 50th day o…

Hi all. I am not sure but it seems that all my Orange Pi boards will reboot by itself. I assume it is a setting some-ware as I see in the syslog something about unattended upgrades. If it is a setting where can I switch that off ? Regards.

Hi, I'm using armbian on a FriendlyElec Zero Pi device as my wireguard server. This is a extremely cheap device and for this reason it was chosen since I don't need powerful performances. It happened that I found a tutorial that switching the Congestion Control for BBR (mine says it is cubic), would allow me to experience performance improvements. I'm not being able to change this parameter in my image already configured using: root@zeropi:~# sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=bbr The output says: sysctl: setting key "net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control": No such file or directory net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control = bbr U…
