I've set up 23.02 Debian Bullseye CLI on my Orange Pi 5. I believe I read 23.05 is coming out soon. Would I just do an apt update and then apt upgrade to make the change? I'm at the point where I could just re-install and start with 23.05 but what would I do in the future for new updates? Thanks.

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 …

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?

I built an image from source using compile.sh and assumed that the first time login credentials were root 1234 but they do not work. What are the correct credentials and/or where can they be sent when building the image?

Hello to everyone! : ) I've made a lot of digging around but I haven't found a final reply to my questions because all the informations I've found are quite old and probably outdated. I own an OPi PC which I was using with Libreelec but unfortunately the HDMI output broke because of the missing protections. By what I know, there isn't any mean of getting AV out working on Libreelec so I switched to Armbian for which it seems to be possible instead. I've installed it with no issues at all (version as per title) but all the guides I've found on this forum to enable AV out seem not to apply, probably because they're intended for much older Armbian versions nor I couldn't fin…

I am using my Orange Pi as a Pi-Hole and also to run a discord bot of mine I am having the issue with this repo where I can install packages with `pnpm install` will run and work fine, but when i move to use `pnpm compile` which uses Parcel to compile the codebase from TS and etc to workable JS, I run it and it starts that command and then the Putty terminal I use to remote into my OrangePi (which is on my LAN) from my Windows 11 machine gets a "remote connection terminated" which generally just happens when the remote restarts. Any idea why this may be happening? Spoiler $ armbianmonitor -U 1 2 ### Activated 1 lzo-rle zr…

Hi, recently downloaded image for may odroid hc4. There was big sign with 23.5 version so i used this. Everything went fine. Set up lamp nextcloud server but then i wanted to set firewall with geoblock(xt_geoip) but can't go through basic steps. On my old version it workerd. With some addition steps but did. Problem is with linux headers. I found out there is some weird "desync" with packages versioning? I downloaded image for 23.5 and repo seems to be on 23.2. Linux kernel on fresh image is 6.1.30 and in repo is 6.1.11. Even armbian-config is installing headers for 6.1.11 and can't compile my stuffs. I just wanted to downgrade kernel to 6.1.11, but i think it …

Hello! I have Armbian running on a Lime2. It runs from the microSD. The board has eMMC and I have also connected a SATA SSD through USB because I would like to move the system to the SSD. I have tried doing so through the nand-sata-install.sh script but it always shows the following message: There are no available partitions. Please create them. I get that message no matter if I choose to have the boot partition on eMMC or on microSD. And I don't know much about partitions. What partitions should I create? Where should I create them? How should I create them? Thank you!

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…

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…

Hello, Is it possible to set the speed of the UART3 to 921600 baud instead of 115000? How to do it? I need to connect to an arduino at that speed. I have tried with minicom but I can't get it. I have also tried to put the following command dtoverlay=miniuart-bt in /boot/armbianEnv.tx but it doesn't work either. to 115000 if I can connect well, therefore the port works correctly Is there any way?

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

Hello everyone, I am trying to build a custom image of Armbian for the Radxa CM3, but I'm a little confused with how to proceed. I thought if I cloned the repo I could modify a similar board configuration file (such as rock-3a.conf) by renaming a copy as radxa-cm3.conf and changing BOOT_FDT_FILE to use my own device tree, but this is where I got lost. I'm not sure where to put the device tree in the cloned repo so that it gets used during the build process. I'm also not sure if I would need to change BOOTCONFIG as well, and if so where to find the file to modify. Any and all advice to point me in the right direction is appreciated! Thanks! …

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

Hi everybody, In a project I'm working on, I've added two PCA9535 I/O expanders to use 32 additional inputs on my Nano Pi Neo.

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

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.

In user-space i can use it normally as a GPIO, but I need it to function as an interrupt in a driver.

Armbian 23.5 Ubuntu Not sure what I touched but my OpenGL has reverted from the Mali-G52 hardware accelerated renderer back to the llvmpipe. How can I changed this?

Hello all, Orange Pi 5b v1.1 16GB/256GB # Wi-Fi 6 and WPA3 are not available options in current Debian Cinnamon release. # OP 5b does have these features so comparability isn't an issue. # Works fine with Orange Pi images. # All steps given on download page were taken. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, I just start using armbain after login I saw this error date: invalid date '</body>\r' per attach image. What cause this error ? I have look into motd configuration this error not coming from there. Another monitor package that was installed is rpimonitor. It's look like a some kind of script that run after login.

Hello all, I hope this finds everyone well. This is my first post and I’m not sure where to put it so, as per forum instructions, I’m dropping this here. After the last update released on July 6th, 2023 that fixed a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth issue (thank you), another issue developed. The calendar displays words and letters in a language that I’m not familiar with. It appears to be beautiful looking symbols, but unfortunately, they are meaningless to me. I have attempted to correct this in every way I know but with no luck. The date and time format will change but the language will not. This hasn’t happened with the previous versions. I’m in th…

I am using Armbian 23.5 Jammy XFCE on a Tinker Board 2S. I have a number of issues to sort, one of them being display. The display is receiving a 16:9 signal, but the right hand side of the screen is covered by a black-white-green pattern under which I can move windows (image attached). How can I change the settings to avoid this?

If I am using SSH over a WIFI connection and then plug in the ethernet cable, then I lose my SSH connection. Simply disconnecting the cable doesn't resolve the issue; I need to reboot without the ethernet cable connected to reestablish the SSH over WIFI. The system diagnosis is here.

Would like to build something like a NAS, because I'm tired of connecting an external drive via USB. I am thinking to use bananapi M2 berry for this. I would power the 3.5 HDD externally and don't care too much about SATA speed. However, it is important to me that armbian works without manual adjustments, because it wouldn't cope with them. Should I go ahead with the experiment?

Does "orangepi3" also support Orange Pi 3 LTS? The board looks different from the Orange Pi 3 on the download page and has a different number of USB ports.

How to adjust the resolution of the armbian so that the display would fit I'm using a 3.2" ILI9341 TFT LCD I also followed this tutorial https://mobile4dev.blogspot.com/2017/09/orange-pi-pc-tft-ili9341.html

Im trying to play video on CLI interface. Banana pi M1 im using.I installed VLC, MPV, mplayer but not successful. please help. my video is in pendrive.

Hi, I need to help for understandable how set right clock hierarchy for i2s bus with external master-clock signal. This mode supported rockchip processors (RK3328, RK3399) but there are very small information how it can do. Today we have out of box in armbian for Nanopi Neo3 working I2S with master-clock from PLL, but I want change master-clock source from PLL to external signal. In souce and clock debugfs I find that I2S1 ("i2s1_pre") can be clocked from 4 sources: clk_i2s1_div, clk_i2s1_frac, clkin_i2s1, xin12m. By default parent for i2s1_pre set to clk_i2s1_div, which have parent cpll. Hence we must change parent for i2s1_pre to clkin_i2s1, but clock clki…

Hi, No matter if I run the "sudo reboot" command or use the restart option from Gnome desktop, the Orange Pi 5 is not rebooting. It runs a splash screen with some kind of information after I execute that action, but after that the splash freezes and nothing happens. So I need to manually power off and then power on the Orange Pi 5 board. I'm using the following setup: Armbian 23.05.1 Thanks!

I am using armbian on banana pi m2 zero with screen 1920x360. For some reason display controller didn't tell edid, so banana using default value and it doesn't look right (only a few more than half of the screen displaying anything). I want to use this screen, so I want to override default values. How this can be done? I tried setenv video-mode sunxi:1920x360-24@60,monitor=hdmi saveenv but this didn't work (saveenv tells `Saving Environment to FAT... Unable to use mmc 0:1...`) and before booting u-boot tells `Loading Environment from FAT...

Recently I installed ubuntu-desktop and switched to gdm3. This caused a lot of my shortcut names and file names to become a large amount of gibberish, so I uninstalled and switched back to lightdm. I still do not have a lot of my icons: and now armbian-config does not open through the shortcut: I can still open it with the terminal but this makes me think there are bigger issues.

I just wrote the Armbian Ubuntu Jammy Desktop image to an SD HC card and booted up fine with it (although I can only boot if I disconnect the HDMI cable -- when boot up is finished, I can plug it in and use the desktop. That's another story, but I have the same issue with official NanoPi Ubuntu images. Next, I transferred the Armbian OS to the eMMC and indicated that I wanted both the boot and system to be on the eMMC. After transferring the rootfs and getting the Power Off prompt, I powered off, then removed the SD HC card, then attempted to boot. However, when I tried to power on again, the NanoPi went into a reboot loop. Armbian will not boot without t…

Greetings all! A noob here just starting to explore and grasp Linux, ARM, and SBC's. I hope I'm posting in a correct area; don't want to ruffle any feathers. I've worked with IoT for a bit, while we several Rpi's collected dust until I put one to work with Node Red for a smart-home project. That sparked my interest, and I aquired a used Rock64 board relatively cheap to play. In retrospect it may have not been the right choice but I have it now. After trying several "dis-jointed" OS's steered to by the Pine website, and finding them to only work partially, at best, I came across Armbian after much searching. I'm very glad I did. I find the OS I selected to be very ade…

Hello, I would like the ability to run Firefox or Chromuim rather than Gnome or any desktop environment when I start up my Orange Pi 5. This is for a device I'm setting up that (when rebooted) ideally won't even prompt the user to log in, it'll just directly bring up the browser and directly to a specific URL. Any thoughts on how I might do this? David

I know I'm trying to be lazy but why can't we install the PREEMPT_RT kernel from the Debian Bookworm Repositories? eg with: sudo apt install linux-image-rt-arm64. This appears to work but it does not boot into the new RT kernel. Downloaded the deb file and used sudo dpkg-i and it also failed to boot yet this command works if we install a RT kernel we built in the build environment Ran armbian-config and tried to install the kernel but alas its not displayed in the list. Why not? I can pull down Debian Bookworm for the Raspberry Pi from the Debian site and install preempt_rt this way. Why does Armbian make it so hard? …

I'm writing a wiegand protocol handler in a Linux Kernel Module for the NanoPi NEO (AllWinner H3). I have the code working, meaning the interrupt handlers for the D0 and D1 pins do in fact get called when I swipe a prox card. However, I'm missing usually about half or more of the 26 bits. The wiegand protocol is 26 pulses, each pulse 50uS wide, and separated by 2000us, so yeah it has to be fast. I've set the debounce value to zero using gpio_set_debounce(), so it's running as quickly as I can make it without patching Linux source. After doing some reading, I think I need to modify the device tree to make the default polling speed for GPIOA pins faster. Or…

Hi, i have installed the latest Armbian 23.5 Jammy on my opi+2e and since then, only the top left of the screen is showing text, like if the screen is divided in 4 and only the upper left is showing login screen and text. If I try to install a desktop environment, everything goes full screen, but I see the mouse cursor of login screen overlapped to desktop, so i have two mouse cursors: one fixed and the other that can be moved. WTF is going on? Why don't you test the images before you publish?

Hi guys, which is the Armbian recommended way to jump to a newer Userspace version? A fresh install ? A regular system upgrade ? Thanks in advance, 🙏 F.

On X86 and AMD64 systems they all have either the UEFI bios or the old bios. I don't know what the Raspberry Pi uses but I don't think it's UEFI. Do any of the ARM systems use UEFI? How does Armbian boot on the non-UEFI systems?

I have built my armbian system on a Renegade board, and I need to back up the entire system so that I can copy it to other sdcards. I tried to use Win32DiskImager.exe to read out the system, but the size of the image read out is much larger than the space occupied by the system, which is basically equal to the size of the card. Any good suggestions?

Hello Everyone: I am trying to install ARMBIAN on Orange Pi5B's EMMC,but ARMBIAN could not recognize it. According to this article,it should be caused by something wrong in dtb file. Could I fix it by armbian-config's dtc editor?? Thanks anyway!!

Hi all. I have a Rockpro64 with u-boot flashed to SPI, and Armbian installed to NVMe drive*. When I use the HDMI port on the Rock to a standard HDMI port on a monitor, everything displays without issue. But recently I tried connecting to a Viewsonic va1655 using the HDMI to mini-HDMI cable, and the monitor displays fine while U-boot is doing its thing. But right before Armbian loads, the Viewsonic monitor flashes yellowish orange and then completely loses the signal. Buuut if I unplug the VS monitor and plug in the other HDMI monitor to the rock, the image is restored and Mr. Tux is patiently waiting for me to enter my password. *I'm not sure if this matters, but I u…

Hi, I've had orange pi one laying around and also couple of camera modules scrapped over different devices, which only one seems to be the "known" model of ov2640, which is supposed to be supported on linux mainline kernel, but unfortunately no module is compiled into armbian image, so I've had to compiled it solely for the running kernel. After lot of digging into the thing, mostly getting inspiration from this forum and threads about 5640, I've tried crafting overlay, with different results. This is the latest attempt, which created /dev/vide0, but no /dev/media0 is made, and also loading module fails with: [ 5812.695851] ov2640: loading out-of-tree modul…

So, as the title describes, I flashed Armbian Jammy Minimal CLI to a micro SD card and booted my lepotato, and was able to setup a user and update it via apt, set a static IP, but armbian-config is not an available command. I have a armbianmonitor log uploaded here: https://paste.armbian.com/berejipusu When I try to run armbian-config, well, which doesn't work, and autocomplete for "armbain" gives me these options: armbian-add-overlay armbian-install armbianmonitor Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Greetings! I am trying to enable auto login feature via armbian-config. After I try to go to system > desktop and stop the DM service, it just go to blackscreen with the white cursor blinking on top. I cannot do anything except ctrl+alt+del which reboots the system back to the destop. Is there another way to set the auto login? Am I missing something? I am using Rock 5B board. Thank you for your help!

Hi. I have my orange PI OPT 3 LTS running Ubuntu.. The system is installed in /dev/mmcblk0 (I believe that's the SD card?), and I just checked with gparted that it still has the Android it came with on /dev/mmcblk2 (I believe that's the internal memory?) Anyway, I would like to move Ubuntu to the external USB HDD I added. I created a /dev/sdb2 for it in ext4. I launched nand-sata-install a few times, but I'm afraid of picking the wrong options.. Which options should I pick to ensure that it does not destroy my Ubuntu installation in the process? Many thanks, -t

Ramlog.service postrotate will execute a cat from /var/log.hdd directory to /var/log directory while rsyslog.service is always outputting stuffs in the background to /var/log directory. This in general has no problem except for some files which are mostly preoccupied with output from rsyslog during logrotate activation, namely syslog and a varieties of journals entries. I have found some of these postrotate failures with cryptic messages as write errors from cat and corresponding rsyslogd omfile module stating lost messages. I suspect two independent processes competing to send output to same files hence causing these errors. I don't know enough of detail but I think ther…

Hi, My Nanopi M4V2 runs perfectly on Buster. The Nanopi runs stable and I don't have any issues for my use-case. It runs 24/7 and is only accessible through Wireguard. On the website from Debian it says that there are no security updates anymore for Buster. Does this also apply to the Armbian version? Of could I just keep running Buster if I keep kernel and software up-to-date? https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/ Thanks for the help, Lennyz

I reinstalled my OrangePi5 with a newly built debian12 based image and in the middle of setting up the third one I lost SSH connection. Now I have 2 OPi5 with the Armbian MOTD and whatever unseen setup that occurs behind the scenes and a third one where I manually configured locales and tzdata. Is there a way to re-run that first login script manually? Thanks

NanoPC-T4 only has 16GRAM, which is still a bit small for daily use. So I want to put u-boot on emmc or sd card, and install the system on nvme solid state drive. If I want to realize this function, can the armbian-config tool help me realize it quickly? Or do I need to set u-boot parameters and compile by myself, thus installing the system in nvme SSD?

Hi everyone! I've just got a new odroid c4 and am trying to hook it up to a small i2c oled display. I've wired it up to the I2C A SCA and SCL pins with 3.3V and GND as needed, and enabled both I2C A and B in armbian-config. However, when I run i2cdetect -y 0 I get the device grid with a 30 in position 30 and nothing else, both with the display hooked up or not, nothing changes. Is there anything obvious I might have missed to get I2C running? Thanks in advance for your help!
