Hello everyone, I have a Cubietruck w/ Armbian which I installed a long time ago (~4 years I think) and I haven't touched it since. I have an AdGuard server running on it and not much else. Recently, I wanted to install something else and I was hit with a lot of errors when I run `sudo apt-get update` Ign:1 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian stretch InRelease Ign:2 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian stretch-updates InRelease Ign:3 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian stretch-backports InRelease Err:4 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian stretch Release 404 Not Found [IP: 146.75.2.132 80] Err:5 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian stretch-updates Release…

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. …

Raspian4 bis 8GB RAM Raspian5 - bis8GB - noch schnellere CPU - Änderungen?

I would like to create a LAN teaming on my Orange pi 5 plus. So combine both interfaces. The whole thing should run as load balancing so that the load is distributed evenly. How exactly do I set this up and can there be problems with something like this with Docker?

Would passive cooling be any good for OrangePi PC Plus? Or active cooling is better suited?

Hello, I want to setup a Orange Pi 5 Plus to use a PCIe GPU to run games with. I can see that the GPU card is detected in lspci, but am not sure how to switch to it. I do have multiple old and new cards I can try if needed. Any advice would be appreciated.

Support for IndieDroid Nova?

I did not find the build for Orange Pi Zero 3 Vice versa I found the build for Orange Pi Zero2 Both SBCs are equipped with Allwinner H6 CPU (H618 for the board Zero 3 and H616 for the board Zero2). Is the build for Orange Pi Zero2 compatible with Orange Pi Zero 3 as well?

Hi, I am using my armbian board to create an access point. I have noticed that WPS is always active by default and users are, especially on WIndows, prompted to enter the WPS PIn in order to connect to the WIFI instead of the pass phrase. I have checked wpa_supplicant.conf which looks like is controlled by dbus <!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd"> <busconfig> <policy user="root"> <allow own="fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1"/> <allow send_destination="fi.w1.wpa_su…

Hi! I've just downloaded the Armbian_23.8.3_Orangepi3-lts_bookworm_current_6.1.53_cinnamon_desktop.img onto a 16GB SD card, plugged it to the Opi and started it up. Then I connected to it using SSH, and it works just fine. But when I tried VNCViewer (actually, MobaXTerm on Windows), nothing is displayed but a message saying that Cinnamon crashed and "you are currently running in fallback mode". 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. Some time ago I had problems installing this Wi-Fi dongle on my Orange Pi PC but I got help here and I managed to install it. But now I can not install it on my ORANGE PI ONE doing the same thing with the latest Jammy software for the board.

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, how can i update my Cubitruck with armbian Buster to Bookworm? apt dist-upgrade did it not. Thank you

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…

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.

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…

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?

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 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 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 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…

Hi everyone. FIrst of all, i need to thank this community, you need to be congratulated for the effort you all make to this project. When i restart my router, the wlan0 of my opi zero 2 stops, no network with "nmcli dev wifi" appears. I've already tried restarting the service with "sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager", disable IPv6 and also installing latest armbian-firmware-full.deb, but it still the same. I'm only able to resolve it with a reboot. Previously I used Debian and this did not happen. I'm using this linux version (4.9.318-legacy-sun50iw9) because of compatibility with the SPI LCD TFT display that I'm using. From what I researched here on the …

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?

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!

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 …

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!

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?

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. …

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…

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.

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. …

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…

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…

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.

Hi everyone! I'm new to the armbian world (but not to linux in general). I have two Orange PI R1+ LTS.

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

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 …

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 have downloaded the cli image file and imaged it to a SD card. However, when I attempt to boot, I never get a screen. I tested the board using the NanoPi-R6 image file and do get the initial setup for Armbian. However, it does not recognize USB devices. I realize that the image for NanoPC-T6 is a work-in-progress, but I don't understand why it doesn't boot. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Folks, this is just out of the blue but Armbian based on Devuan would be very cool. I find more manageable and predictable Devuan than Debian, I am slowing ditching Debian for Devuan, I recently tested both on some very little Linux compatible laptops and Devuan resulted in better compatibility and lesser weird issue with ACPI and LID operations. I use Runit as default init system and for desktop use I found it very stable: for instance when connected to the wifi printer if the printer goes in standby systemd is unable to reconnect to the scanner (you to restart sane) while runit is always on; there are plenty on these little cases where Devuan …

Hello, I am a green hand of using armbian and also the development board. However, I want to use a 2.8 inch ILI9341 screen to show the zsh (desktop). I have read some articles and disscusion about this, however, things seem to be different when I want to deal with it. I even don't know how to add the overlay because there is no such a directory. Should I create it by myself, or I should use some command? I really hope some one can help me, thanks This is my environment Linux nanopik2-s905 6.1.30-meson64 #8 SMP PREEMPT Wed May 24 16:32:53 UTC 2023 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

Hi I am looking for the bullseye image for odroid hc4. Is there an archived version? It's needed for OMV as it is incompatible with newer versions: https://wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=omv6:armbian_bullseye_install Appreciate any help Alex

Armbian Version: Armbian_23.5.1_Orangepi3-lts_jammy_current_6.1.30_gnome_desktop While hosting a Discord bot on my Orange Pi 3 LTS, Armbian sleeps on its own after a certain amount of time. This UI is so unique to me, I've got no clue how to barely do anything other than through the Terminal. Sorry for the simple question, but I can't find answers anywhere. Thank you!

Hello everyone, I'm new user about SBC and armbian. I recently purchased this SBC - purple-pi-oh (rk3566, Number/type of interfaces similar to Raspberry Pi), It has opened up its linux sdk and more. Because its default image version is older, and does not support k3s, cilium, etc (I'm a k8s ops), so I want to use armbian with it. I first directly downloaded and tried all rk3566/3568 images of other SBCs, such as station m2/station p2/Bananapir2pro, etc., and the most pleasant surprise was that using the station m2 image, purple pi oh almost works (can run through the installation process, mouse/keyboard/hdmi monitor works fine), t…

Hi @all, i built this: https://www.instructables.com/DIY-Lyric-Monitor-for-Stage/ running armbian-OS. In order to have an external power switch, i made this: using pin 7 and gnd and it works! the script is successfully doing a shutdown. but, to run that program ("pushbuttons.c" compiled to "pushbuttons") in anything other than root, he wants the password. and i really dont know how to add it to autostart (in "settings"), because i dont know how to fill in the "command" field. like "sudo ./program"? Thank you so much für any help.

I'm familiar with ARMbian on Orange PI 3, more specifically I'm trying to master programming in C on this system and hw. Since yesterday I've been searching in vain for some description, ideally with examples of how to control GPIO, I2C and SPI in C. Can you advise?

How can I access individual packages that make up the images that are available for download e.g. at https://www.armbian.com/lenovo-x13s/ ? I see only "full image" downloads and no link to information on what was used to build these images. I poked around the dists named "bookworm something" on apt.armbian.com looking for the kernel used, but didn't find any obvious match (no 6.3 kernel version, no kernel that has "x13s" in the package name, ...). Likewise, there is no x13s listed in https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/master/config/sources/families

I've been messing with my OPi5+ for several days now and I cannot for the life of me get my USB Wifi dongle to work. When I input " lsusb " the OPi shows my dongle as plugged in but it just doesn't work. I've tried to compile the Wifi dongle drivers (RTL8188eu) manually but that fails with a "python2 error". I've tried updating the Armbian headers and firmware and nothing works. I've tried both the OPi OS and Armbian OS and on both images the board will just not read my Wifi dongle. My USB Bluetooth dongle Plugs and Plays just fine, only the Wifi dongle is inoperable. So my question is how in the hell do I get the Edimax N150 USB Wifi dongle to work…

Hi, hardware / OS = OrangePi PC with Armbian 22.04.2 Ubuntu When executing following command "ssh -D 1080 user@domain" the system doesn't create / open ssh port where it should listen too. I can verify this with command "ps aux | grep ssh". I edited /etc/ssh/sshd_config file by enabling following lines AllowTcpForwarding yes PermitTunnel yes What else do I have to do in order to be able to start ssh proxy server? I was following this guide https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-route-web-traffic-securely-without-a-vpn-using-a-socks-tunnel Thank you.

The Wi-Fi network was working fine, I saw all the wireless connections. But I did something in the upper right corner of the system (in my opinion, I unchecked the Wi-Fi network) and as a result I can't restore the WiFi network. I only have wired internet now., and in the upper right corner, please help me solve the problem.

Help me, my orangepizero wont work. Every time i try to start ssh it say connection refused. Only sometimes it works. I recently installed Armbian 22.5 bullseye and after that it stopped working. Pls help

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?

I am trying to figure out how to compile and load the Xradio drivers onto an orange pi zero LTS. I am having some troubles with the xradio drivers that came with my image and am hoping that https://github.com/fifteenhex/xradio will add some improvements. There does seem to be some code change so I am remaining optimistic. I am able to compile the drivers with the kernel from https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/orangepi-build but it crashes network manager and a few other modules when I try to modprobe it, I am guessing it is because this kernel is not an armbian kernel. I am trying to get the kernel https://github.com/armbian/build to work, but it doesn't look…

I am using an orangePi and I had some scripts with bash but now I have put a screen with more resolution and now I see the text very small. How can you make the text look bigger? I have seen that if I press shift + +/- it increases the size of the letters and with stty size I see that the value of columns and rows has varied. But if I put stty cols 102 rows 29 it does not change the size of the characters. It doesn't work either if I run resize. What can I do?

I'm running Armbian Cli 23.02.2 Jammy with Linux 6.1.11-meson64 on my OdroidC4, I'd like to be able to boot from a USB3.0 SSD, (I'm aware that this board doesn't have SPI flash memory, so you should sacrifice a micro SD to host the system boot) When I run armbian-config and go to the option to "boot from SD - systemd on SATA, USB or NVMe" the process seems to complete all the steps without difficulty, at the end the process asks to reboot, the problem starts here, at perform the reboot the system never boots, it stays in a loop, the SSD flashes led light as if it had activity, the same my odroid c4 flashes blue led light in a loop, but the system never appears by ssh. …

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

NanoPC-T4 My above board successfully installs and is accessible via SSH on all of the following releases. Armbian Bullseye Server and Desktop Armbian Bookworm Server and Desktop Armbian Jammy Desktop In all cases neither the CLI Screen or the desktop screen ever show up via the HDMI. Ive changed HDMI cable, different monitor and different PSU I wondered if there any CLI commands that might help my confirm what the fault is or if the board is broken? Thanks for any help!

Hello, I'm currently working on integrating a custom-made driver into my Armbian build, but I'm facing some challenges. I've researched the process and found that it should be done through the kernel configuration. However, despite my efforts, I can't seem to find any option that allows me to add a custom driver. I've attempted placing the .ko file in a /driver folder, that I created within the source, as well as in the kernel/ folder under userpatches/, but unfortunately, it hasn't worked. I'm seeking guidance on whether it's possible to add a custom driver to an Armbian build and, if so, I'd greatly appreciate any insights or step-by-step instructi…

Hello, I would like to know how they reduce the size of the images and then, when the microSD cards are inserted into a card, they expand to fill the entire space. In other words, the same thing that Armbian images do when we use them for the first time: they are small, and then they occupy all the storage space.

I've got Jammy Minimal running on my EspressoBin v7 from Armbian_23.5.1_Espressobin_jammy_current_5.15.113_minimal. All seems to be working except the NICs do not auto-start with the system.

My /etc/network/interfaces: source /etc/network/interfaces.d/* # Network is managed by Network manager auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto lan0 allow-hotplug lan0 iface lan0 inet dhcp The NetworkManager.service is running. How do I make lan0 auto start? Thanks

Hello, I have an Odroid N2+ on Armbian 23.02 Bullseye. I wish to upgrade to Bookworm. Initially I expected to do the upgrade after the update to Armbian 23.05 via apt but I tend to think we will have directly 23.08 without 23.05 I won't ask for the date when we will have 23.05 but has someone upgraded to Bookworm with Armbian 23.05? I know this kind of upgrade is not officially supported but as I made it from Buster to Bullseye I have the same project for Bookworm. But I am not sure Bookworm and Armbian 23.05 are really compatible.

Good morning, I'm triying to move to armbian for tinker. Currently i'm using Debian Distro from Asus for tinkerboard and i want to move to a CLI only OS. Armbian seems to be the best option for what i want, but currently i'm unable to use the GPIO pins on the tinkerboard2. I tried to install wiringpi from here (https://github.com/TinkerBoard/gpio_lib_c/tree/sbc/tinkerboard/c) but i always recieve an error code. Anyone facing this problem? Any help will be very much appreciated, i really want to move to a non-GUI OS, but asus does't offer any option besides uninstalling X-10 GUI Thank you for your time

When using Armbian on my Orange Pi 5b, I can't select 120hz when the resolution is 4k but I can when it's set to 1080p. In other distros like Joshua Riek's Ubuntu and the official Orange Pi 5 Ubuntu release, 120 hz is selectable in 4k and works wonderfully. Is there something I'm missing somewhere? Is there something I can do to manually enable this somewhere? This distro checks all the boxes for me otherwise. Using 120 hz makes a massive difference when streaming games from my desktop to my living room TV using Sunshine/Moonlight.

Hello, Like it happened to @Grogorio in 2016, I need to introduce a boot delay on my OrangePi Zero Plus (Armbian 23.02.2 Focal) to allow time for other network elements in my setup to boot. As per what I have read somewhere, this can done by adding a 'boot_delay=n' line in /boot/config.txt, however I don't see this file in Armbian; I've also tried to add the line, but it does not seems to be working. Furthermore, the max delay that can be setup there is 10 seconds, but I need a longer delay. Can someone help? TIA

I'm using the latest WIP config for the NanoPC-T6 build. I've discovered a problem that I don't have using an official FriendlyARM Debian image on the device. I have one HDMI output connected to a dual input screen in desktop mode. It works fine if I select the NanoPC-T6 screen input from the start, but if at a later stage I swap the screen input to a different source and back again, the NanoPC-T6 does not output video. I can ssh to the box but there is nothing obvious in either dmesg or syslog. summary-build-476d3c90-225f-4793-8dbb-01abf490e940.md

Hey everyone, I'm a noob in SBCs in general but I recently bought an Orange Pi One along with a 3.5inch HDMI-compatible MPI3508 display to work with it.

Hello. I use jammy ambrian on my odroid c2. In this is a 64gb sdcard. 60% of the card is empty. Can i create a automatically backup on the card? It would be nice to restore the fullsystem if something go wrong and the system crah. At this time i crate all 4 weeks a full sd backup on my other computer. but it need a long time, because the full 64gb will be safe as a .img file, which i can restore. Is there a solution to get a smaller zip file, withe the full system???? Thank you a lot. If the fully system zip is not to great, i can upload it on my cloud..
