I downloaded the WIP armbian for Orange PI Zero. Everything seems fine that is until the wifi. Tried using nmtui. Doesn't work, can't find any network, even if I key it in. ls /sys/class/net No sign of wifi, ip link show no wifi. Tried to edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf nothing Edited /etc/network/interfaces nothing. Anyone here has any solution?

I hardly dare fo ask: is there anybody out there having root FS on ZFS?

I've just installed armbian to Pinebook Pro's eMCC using the full-disk encryption helper script from https://github.com/mmgen/mmgen-geek-tools The said script was executed inside an armbian installation in an sd card with official Pinebook Pro image. The eMCC installation almost worked - it boots to graphical desktop, however there's no wifi and bluetooth. I don't have any other way to connect the laptop to internet. I guess the way to fix this is to boot the sd card again because it has internet, then open the encrypted disk manually and chroot to its root, then run some command - but I don't know which one! Please help.

After upgrade two of my boards to mainline (4.14.51-sunxi) I have noticed that simple command apt list basically stopped working. It stuck at "Listing ..." (at this moment 1 core of CPU is utilized in 100%). Now I run it in background to see if eventually it will be completed... So far (15 minutes)... nothing. apt list --installed is also very slow, but after some time it gives results. However, it is much slower than on "default" (3.4.113-sun8i) Can anybody check it and reconfirm?

Greetings Docs say Yet I need to use Ubuntu 18.04 to compile. I'm not understanding - - - - Ubuntu 18.04 isn't Debian testing (11 or bullseye), it isn't Debian stable (10 or buster) - - - - so why do the docs say I can compile on Debian?

Hi! I've been interested in getting a SBC for a while now and I've done a bit of “researching” during the past two weeks. I'm getting quite frustrated searching for the right one since every board seems to have a list of disadvantages which I probably don't fully understand. I also am not sure what processor/specs would be fit for my needs. The Armbian community seems to be very productive and helpful so I'm asking you to please aid me with your SBC suggestions based on the description below. My wishes a) File server: * (High priority) To run (audio) server software (Logitech Media Server/Squeezebox Server) that serves files (flac) to a net…

Hello, previously, after creating a patch file, (v24.11) I used to save it in the userpatches directory as zzzz_xxxx_whatever.patch to ensure it was processed at the bottom of the current patch list.

Hi, In december, I was able to install a working system to nand (boot from nand, system on sata), but didn't have the nessery time to finish the configuration. Today I rebooted my cubietruck for the first time since then, and tried updating all the installed packages with 'apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade'. One of the updates (an important one, see below) failed with the following error: and: Confident as I am, I rebooted the device. Unfortunately, it does not come up as expected. I still have the SD-card used for the install in december (and can boot the cubietruck with it), so I could start from scratch again. But may be there is somet…

Installed desktop, ran start desktop. From there I was back in text mode. Rebooted still no desktop. Tried startx, xinit and, several other start desktop commands from various OS's. I've been working on this for 3 days now. Don't know what I'm missing. I also tried installing lightdm, no change. I could also use the shut down command. Tried everything I could think of there too. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hate wasting your bandwidth and time. I'm stuck! I'm done wasting bandwidth and moved to time now. Funny it asks me startx like in (OS name). Wish I knew how to tell it Yes! exactly lol! Thanks in advance ROC-RK3328-CC Armbian 5.98 Renegade

I've been able to use all the other user space I/O without being root. PWM on the other hand seems to create files only after opening device. Is there a udev rule that will work with 4.14 kernel?

Hi, Can I use this guide to run armbian on a SSD on a tinkerboard and then install Homeassistant? Until now I run hass.io. I'm trying to run it on an SSD to prevent SD card corruption again. Since HA will run on a docker, could I just run docker from SSD and keep armbian on sdcard? Which option would you think is better? Thank you

Hello. I need kernel 4.15.0-88 on Orangepi PC. I used "apt-get install linux-generic" to install kernel 4.15.0-88. After reboot Orangepi does not boot. What is wrong?

Hello - I have attempted an install of Armbian Stetch on a Pinebook (non HD) with the latest image from https://www.armbian.com/pinebook-a64/. I can power on the pinebook and can SSH in, and have successfully installed to the internal emmc, however the screen does not come on. This pinebook readily works with other OS images I've attempted. I suspect I'm just missing something somewhat obvious, but I can't find reference to this issue elsewhere - how do I enable access via the screen/keyboard on the device itself? Thanks!

Hey. I have a beer-brewing machine which has software running on an olimex A13-SOM board, that has a capacitive touch panel attached to it. The company (Brewie) did'nt survive, but I really like the machine, and the potential it has. The board is running a very slimmed down linux system, so it's a bit difficult to sniff stuff out, and expand on it - so I want to install a more recent linux system on it, and try making new software for it as a shared project with other people using this machine. I managed to make a functional image using github.com/olimex/build I'm building it using: ./compile.sh BRANCH=next BOARD=olimex-som-a13 KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_C…

Hi, I'm running Armbian Ubuntu Server on my Neo2 and works quite good. I just can't install Wireguard. I have installed kernel headers from armbian config, bit still fails. I use the ppa repo. Kernel stable latest, 4.19.57 Any ideas how to proceed and install?

I am using Armbian 4.14 kernel on a custom board. As soon as the boards boots up I get a lot of oops and memory address fault. Software works on another board that use same memory and mtest always succeeds on faulty board even with complementary patterns. I have got the feedback that this new memory belongs to the newest revision level so SDRAM parameters needs to be updated. However I am using the 4.14 kernel so .fex configuration is not taken into consideration by the kernel, although initialize the SDRAM controller is bootloader->SPL's duty. Anyone knows how to update SDRAM parameters without using .fex config file or compile u-boot and SP…

On my Orange Pi Zero I run Armbian Buster and the only software running is Shairport. Unfortunately I used to have a crackling noise every 20-40 secund which was solved after entering root@orangepizero:~# renice -n -19 -u shairport-sync 110 (user ID) old priority 0, new priority -19 So far so good - but after a reboot the prio is again 0. So I tried to use nice nice -19 shairport-sync but after a reboot the prio was again 0 How can I set the priority of all process run by the user (-u) “shairport-sync” to -19 when they start?

Hi. I'm using Armbian Jessie(Legacy) on Cubietruck. My cubietruck's cpu temp. is aruond 77~79. Is it too hot? If it is, how can I lower the temperature? One more thing to ask. How can I see the temperature? I could see it when I log in to Armbian, but how can I do it manually? Could this be one of the method? cat /sys/devices/platform/sunxi-i2c.0/i2c-0/0-0034/temp1_input Thank you for reading.

Hello everyone, I have not been able to make the OrangePi +2E (with Armbian Bullseye) of which I present the ix.io that can be seen from the lines 605 to 636, in which the dmesg seems to reject the ADALM PLUTO. I have another device with Armbian Buster, this one is a pcDuino4 nano fully compatible with the OPi One image in which the result is exactly the same. Not that I am an expert, I first contacted Travis from Analog Devices but he asked me if there is any special flag on the USB nodes in the device tree? But I haven't touched it, so I thought I'd come to consult you here. I hope you can help me, Thank you very much, Regards VH PD: here (https:/…

Hello guys, I'm new to SBCs in general and would like to start tinkering around a bit. But am not able to find a central resource with reviews and such. So have decided to ask the question here (moderators please feel free to move the thread around) I am looking for a SBC in the 30 to 35 or upto 40$ price range with a bare minimum of the following : 1. 64bit SoC 2. Atleast 1 GB RAM (pref 2 GB) 3. Wifi on board (or are wifi dongles a better option?) 4. 1080p out by hdmi.. Preferably 4k.. I read enough to understand that manufacturers other than Raspberry are not great with OS support or optimisation.. So I am looking for something t…

Hi all, We are now using ARMbian build tools as our 1st choice for all future DietPi SBC images. Currently, we support these devices that use ARMbian at their base: BPI Pro BPI M2+ OPI PC NanoPi Neo I'd like to increase this so we can support more boards with the same ARM SoC (eg: H3). Unfortunately, like most, i do not have access to every SBC out there. As we do further manual optimizations to the ARMbian images, after compile (eg: DietPi-RAMlog, DietPi-RAMdisk, package removals, prep for DietPi scripts etc etc), having the SBC device is essential to creating our image. I'am curious to know if the following is true: Are the Sun8i compiled kernels and mod…

Hi! installed the recent armbian 25 server image on my Odroid HC4. Used armbian 22 before, but microsd was physically damaged. Unfortunately, the board can't reboot! I already tried to apply this solution, which was prescribed for armbian 24 reboot problems, yet it does not seem to help. Any help is appreciated. Although I do not want to downgrade... what is the last stable (=rebootable) armbian for the Odroid HC4? Does anyone know?

Hello, I run a clearfogpro, this problem is not board specific, but I would like to use a huawei e3372h-153 USB 4G dongle on this board which has a USB3 port. The current version of armbian is Debian Buster Linux 4.14.135-mvebu. This dongle is in stick mode, as opposed to the hilink mode. In stick mode, when plugging the dongle, two devices appear : /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/cdc-ncm1. With the former I can issue AT commands to the dongle, the latter is the modem itself with the NCM protocol, known to be faster than PPP. There is also an wwan interface appearing with ifconfig -a. However, I do not know…

However, when I put this SD card into my Orange Pi Plus 2 v1.1 and boot, I obtained several pages of ERROR messages, as in the attached images. Can anybody give me a hand please? Cheers Pei

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

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!

So far I've been able to get just about everything running with Armbian but I just haven't got my head around routing a usb / mpci 4g modem. I clearly see it's a ttyACM0 device, I can see it's a USB connection in nmtui, ifconfig shows it as usb0 interface. I think the hardware is good and Armbian is talking to it fine. Can someone point me to a tutorial somewhere that would turn the light on for a first time try at routing data from a cellular modem? I'm using a clearfog pro but I also have an espressobin. The modem is a U-Blox MPCI-L201 and I imagine should work on either board. I'm probably just not putting the right questions to uncle googl…

HI I cannot find anywhere option to run compile.sh without GUI/NCurses. I'd like to just run basic command to build image (have configuration done) Can you point me to place where i can look ?

From time to time I want to change the SDcards on my boards, for one reason or another. So, in order to transfer the Armbian filesystem I dd from the first sdcard and later dd to the second, a very slow process. I think it would be faster to: Partition and mkfs the new sdcard Copy/tar/rsync the armbian filesystem But no board won't boot that sdcard. So I'm missing a crucial step, maybe it has something to do with u-boot?

Hi,I installed a fresh image today, one Armbian_21.08.3_Bananapipro_focal_current_5.10.60.img.

Hello. It seems there is an issue with iptables in the 6.18.10-current-meson64 kernel. I can't start Docker because of this. ``` ~# iptables -L modprobe: FATAL: Module ip_tables not found in directory /lib/modules/6.18.10-current-meson64 iptables v1.8.11 (legacy): can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)

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

I am trying to run hyperion-v4l2 in /etc/rc.local (please it is not important why for now) with these parameters: Code: /home/user/hyperion/build/bin/hyperion-v4l2 --device /dev/video0 --video-standard PAL --width 720 --height 576 --crop-top 10 --crop-bottom 10 --crop-left 24 --crop-right 24 --frame-decimator 1 --size-decimator 4 --red-threshold 0.2 --green-threshold 0.4 --blue-threshold 1.0 (before v4l2 I am executing sudo /home/user/hyperion/build/bin/hyperiond /home/user/hyperion.config.json) But it does not take crop parameters in effect (important for blackborder detection) of hyperion-v4l2.

Hi, I was reading for some days and don't know what's is best SBC for recording (maybe orange pi plus 2e @tkaiser).

Hi there, i hope you can help me as i saw there are a few Wireguard Users here as well. I did setup Armbian 20.05.4 Buster on my Cubietruck and configured Wireguard. After a few mistakes the connection from outside (iOS Client) is stable but very slow. I went to the obvious roads and found the MTU setting on the client side could be an issue as well some PostUp command parameters can improve performance. But for any reason my wireguard doesn´t want to accept anything with PostUp, Safeconfig etc in my wg0.conf file: Parsing error. But without that been solved i assume i can´t work on the Performance improvement. Here a few lines of code showing the relevant confi…

Hi guys. Igor if you are reading this, I'm Paul H. on the facebook Opi board. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up that I think something is breaking with the recent builds. I did a standard download install on an opi plus (eos) and got nodm errors when I went to install the desktop. Then on second run it sent me into a menu to select lightdm or nodm, and I've never seen that menu before. That installed some stuff when I selected nodm, but then failed. Subsequent apt-get installs gave me nodm errors. The desktop is not booting at all. So then I decided to move to a cubietruck and did the same thing, except it boots into the desktop and…

Hi basically i am switching from Raspberry pi to orangepi PC. Managed to find armbian which looks way better than raspberry gui! Now my problem is i used raspi-config to set login after POST in CLI in Rpi but in armbian we dont have this config thing and I want to make the system login at CLI then I could either continue to use CLI or go into gui mode by typing startx. Any ideas for this? I have tried systemctl enable multi-user.target but it seems nothing change and I also tried to find the directory of grub but there is none at armbian. Many thanks, Gabriel

Few years ago I setup armbian with 5.4.85 kernel. now try to update from instructions: sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo armbian-config System->Other and got "No other kernels available!" Googling this error didn't help, and worst that I can't now install kernel headers Is there some update to current kernel (5.15) from bash? or linux build in common

Hi Sirs, for first excuse me for my English. I followed all the instructions, used a 8GB class 10 SD Card, burned it with the program proposed, put in the Box but obtained only a purple led. After 30 mintes no other results. I don't know if I missed some steps, but it seems to do all correctly. No results at all at the present time. The S/N is X2HCAAG40056. Maybe could be blocked for upgrade or other? Actually the Vendor is 207K4. Thank you for your possible help. Have a Merry Christmas Gianluca

While using my Quartz64A I am getting cursor flickering while moving the cursor.

Hi, first of all, a great compliment to the makers of armbian, really good job you're doing! I installed legacy ubuntu trusty for pcsuino3-nano on my pcduino3 (not nano) and everything works fine. First i tried the vanilla version, but i could not manage to get UART2 (ttyS1) to work, so i switched back to legacy where everything with UART2 works properly. Maybe someone knows how to get ttyS1 working with the vanilla kernel on pcduino3 with that image provided. But I'm happy with legacy kernel for now. Now to the question, what i like better with vanilla is, that there's no preinstalled desktop-environment. I am using the pcduino3 headless as embedded d…

What is the proces to upgrade armbian jessie -> stretch ? Thanks Enviado desde mi iPhone utilizando Tapatalk

Armbian documentation on Overlays refers to /boot/armbianEnv.txt. But in the version of Armbian that I'm running (on a Cubietruck, ARMBIAN 5.36 user-built Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 4.13.16-sunxi) there is no such file. There is however a copy in directory /usr/share/armbian. Is this the overlay file that is processed at start-up? If so, it would be good if the documentation was updated.

Hello again all, Following the success of my last need to post here I changed my Odroid N2+ Plex server over to Armbian (making two Armbian-running Odroids in the house). The N2+ is running Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) with Linux 5.9.6-meson64 I have had a few occasions where I have encountered a system-wide freeze. Today's lasted over an hour, whilst others have unfrozen after ~20-30 minutes. Today the machine was ping-able but attempts to ssh in were unsuccessful though there was no timeout and no error messages when trying. Prior to that I was listening to some music in which the playback was faltering, leaving silence for several seconds duration b…

Hi, First post here. I'm fairly new with Armbian. I have a LibreComputer Le Potato that I want to use for Home Assistant. To avoid all the hassle of setting up Home Assistant with docker, I used the Armbian imager to install the Armbian 26.2.1 Home Assistant on an SD card. Once the SD card was flashed, I put it into the Le Potato board. The board starts up fine, asks for the root password, creates a new user and so on. Later on, the Preparing Home Assistant Supervised window appears. However, after the first round to 100% I get a "RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument" on the screen. The preparation goes on and on, moving the progress bar ove…
