I try to boot Armbian build for Rock Pi Model B but the screen stays black. The Armbian Download Page says for Model SE use Model B builds. Is there a configuration that i can change to make it work. I hope somebody can help me.

Hi, I am looking for an OS for the BPi M2 Berry. Has anyone good experiences to share? Thanks a lot in advance, Friedrich I tried several OS, flashed with rufus.io No satisfying attempt yet. Last try is this: https://forum.banana-pi.org/t/bananapi-bpi-m2-berry-new-image-release-armbian-bullseye/14451

board : Banana pi M2 zero OS : Armbian_23.02.0-trunk_Bananapim2zero_sid_edge_6.1.11_xfce_desktop.img.xz The same error exist for newest Debian releases. Only Users that never opened an X11 session locally can connect using RDP (xrdp)

Hi, I want to use a mcp2515 can controller over spi1 or 2. I read about internal flash is blocking the spi1. Can I use another Chipselect pin to use the spi1 with GPIO? Can you please give some advice where to start my research about overlays? What else do I need to activate? (core moduls, driver…)

Hello! Recently i bought an Orange Pi 4 LTS. I choosen armbian for my os. I installed it to sd card, but I wanted more. I decided to flash the system to eMMc. It was a mistake. Instead armbian-config tool, i executed armbian-install, and flashed bootloader to eMMc 🤦‍♂️. After that, i was checking the sd card, reading the logs, nothing helped. I have official 5v 4a dc adapter, factory new sd card, but my board only shines with a red LED, and does not boot into the system.

I'm trying to get OctoPrint to work on my Pine64 to control my Qidi i-mate(s) 3d printer. I've done a fresh install of Armbian on the Pine64 with no problems. I'm not sure where to go to troubleshoot the USB-ttl serial connection. I've double checked that the cable is installed right on the Qidi motherboard, this application doesn't need the vcc connected so the other three are. I've tried enabling the UART's in the armbian-config with no luck on the connection. While I've used Linux for quite some time, I'm not familiar with this sort of thing and I'm not even sure where to start the troublshooting. I can easily provide additional logs. This is on an …

Hey there fellow Pi enthusiasts! I am absolutely thrilled to have just gotten my hands on the Orange Pi 5, but being new to the world of Pi's and small chips, I was a bit intimidated. However, after exploring this forum, I must say that I am impressed with the amazing work you all have done with the software! I recently stumbled upon the Armbian 23.02 Jammy Gnome and decided to give it a shot. After successfully installing it to my SSD, updating and upgrading it, and enabling 3D acceleration with the commands provided, I thought I was good to go. But something still seems off to me - the graphics just don't seem to be as fast as I thought they woul…

I seem to have broken my vim3. What image do I flash using the usb flashing tool to make it boot and not have the light flashing fast? Thanks

I'm using the newest Ubuntu image for my RockPi4C+, and from time to time, I try to login, but it wont allow it. If I reboot, I can login just fine. I tried from 2 devices, both devices could not ssh into the pi. running a cat on /var/log/auth.log doesnt show any attempts at all. After a reboot, I cat the log and can see my login attempts present after the reboot. Its like the sshd service is dying.

Hello, i tried to set up a little samba server with armbian on a odroid c2. If i use only the sd card, without any external storage, the system works fine, but if i connect any usb storage to the odroid c2, the system is booting into a bootloop or stops booting If i connect the usb storage after the first bios display, the system boot is fine. I think, the bootloader is trying to boot from the usp storage after detecting this, so is there an option to modify the bootloader, so it is only trying to boot from the pluged in sd card?

Hi, I've installed Armbian 23.02 Jammy Gnome from https://www.armbian.com/orangepi-5/ on my new Orange Pi 5. Unfortunately, it looks ugly compared to Ubuntu on my x86_64 PC. The main problem is the irregular use of occasional single-colour icons - for example the trash-can in the dock. Is it possible to make Armbian 23.02 Jammy Gnome not use these single-colour icons, and use Ubuntu icons throughout?

EDIT: I tried to plug it directly in router and speed is OK now. Weird, but it's fine now. Please close this topic. Hello, I just bought Orange Pi 3 LTS to set it up as small off-site backup using OMV and USB HDD. I installed Armbian_23.02.2_Orangepi3-lts_bullseye_current_5.15.93.img on eMMC and installed OMV using armbian-config. I noticed SMB and FTP speeds are slow (around 90 Mbps) so I installed iperf to test it properly and speed is capped on 94 Mbps. I have gigabit switch and interface is connected with GE, if I plug the cable to other device, it works just fine. So there must be some issue on Orange Pi 3 LTS. I searched the internet and speed shoul…

On my Banana Pi M5 Armbian Jammy has a strange device name assignment. BPi-M5 has internal 16GB eMMC normally named mmcblk0 and microSD named mmcblk1. Normally it boots from SD and if you install an OS like Raspberry OS for BPi into eMMC, you're still able to boot from SD another OS because RaspiOS maps device correctly. But when Armbian (i.e. Jammy) is installed into eMMC it changes eMMC device to mmcblk1 and SD to mmcblk0, and It prevents SD to boot. And if the eMMC OS corrupts and doesn't boot the SBC bricks and TTL connection is needed to erase boot record. To change OS it's necessary a command to delete boot record and SD on mmbl…

Hello, I'm trying to enable I2C access in U-Boot, for orange PI zero. I've downloaded the Armbian build, and tried to compile with CREATE_PATCHES, exactly like the tutorial here: https://zuckerbude.org/armbian-using-create-patches/ However, the build never stops and waits for me to make changes. I've attached the build log. I *think* I just need to add the following lines to orangepi_zero_defconfig: CONFIG_I2C0_ENABLE=y CONFIG_I2C1_ENABLE=y I guess that would be my next question- is this the proper way to change this config is via CREATE_PATCHES? I tried just changing the defconfig file and re-running c…

Hi. This video (Raspberry Pi 4 RAM Upgrade - Tutorial) is about upgrading Pi RAM from 1GB to 8GB, and it is inspired me to investigate possibility to do this for other boards. If anyone has any ideas and knowledge, please share it with us. I personally interested in NanoPi NEO4 with RK3399 CPU and with 1GB RAM Schematic for looking at RAM and board wiring. RAM consist of 2 512Mb chips on one channel (second channel on this board is not used) RAM Chips: K4B4G1646E-BCMA 4Gbit(4096bit/8=512Mb) DDR3-1866 96Ball FBGA. CPU supports DDR3, DDR3L, LPDDR3, LPDDR4. There are at least 1GB DDR3 chips out there. (not sure about 2GB, and probably no 4GB) …

I am using the Rockpi 4c plus for the first time.

Hello, I'm looking to replace my x86 micro tower with a SBC, to mainly use it as a NAS and media player. On the hardware side, I would like to have a native SATA port (for the NAS hard disk), HDMI output and H.265 decoding (media player), at least 4GB of RAM (to be somewhat future-proof). Bluetooth is a plus to play some retro games Not sure about the OS storage: SD card, eMMC, an hard disk on another SATA port? At the moment I found two boards: the Radxa Rock 3A (with its DIY SATA over USB cable) and Odroid HC4. Both are supported by Armbian, but maybe there is a more recent board that I didn't find? Thanks.

Guys, how to setup HDMI display resolution please? This is strange, I waste whole day for seaching working solution

I installed Armbian 23.02.2 aarch64 running kernel 6.1.11-meson64 on Le Potato and the system is running great with xfce4 as the desktop. Once I shutdown or restart, upon restart to the desktop the monitor is clear from the left side to the middle of the screen but the last 1/3 of the screen on the right is slightly fuzzy like the its out of focus. There was no problem of this upon install and first boot of xfce4. I have tried running Armbian Buster image and it works just fine everytime with no issue the entire screen is crisp and clear. For some reason when I installed bullseye it only works once after initial install and setup and then on is fuzzy on the right 1/3 …

Hi, today i downloaded the new main branch from git and tried to build my custom board (it works with master branch).

I am creating a script that can backup sd-cards running on the system, resizing it with desired value or via resize2fs calculated. I learn a lot but there are a few things I don't fully understand. When I create a backup I dd what I understand is the bootsector, ie I grab the "start" position of the partition I am backing up with fidisk and use that value and a blocksize of 512. I then add another 10mb (in bytes) just to be sure. Usually the bootsector is 8192 big, but not always (IIRC nanopi neo3;s is WAY bigger). dd bs=512 count=$DDBOOTSECTOR if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=$IMG_FILE conv=noerror,sync status=progress I then truncate the file, calculated eithe…

Hi all, In armbian-config I have freeze on firmware. I can see that armbian-firmware-full is kept back. Still my kernel got updated. Kind of an issue as I use zfs (backports) on my omv install and I need to reinstall them to get the module recreated... Now I have a few questions: Is it because I have only armbian-firmware-full held back, and apt works in my case maybe with armbian-firmware? (Or do I misinterpret the list that says upgradable on the full) Or do I have to hold the specific versioned packages and will the armbian-firmware (meta?) package hold not work on the ones I have installed and get upgraded nonetheless? Tia

Excuse my ignorance all but I'm not familiar with this type of thing. I got my OP 4 lts running with the latest jammy HOWEVER, the resolution is wrong for the 5" HDMI screen I'm using, The screens touch function is not working, and I can't SSH into it via wifi because I can't seem to find what port it is on. If any of you can help me out here, I'd appreciate it.

This week I installed Armbian on three BananaPi M5s. The OS ran fine from SD card, but once installed to emmc (using armbian-config) the system booted with a message that the file space available was zero. In the case of one of the boards I found an 8GB .img file in /media/my userid/. I assumed it was a copy of the 8GB SD card, and I deleted it. The system is fine now. But in the case of the other two I have yet to determine what is consumbing all the file space. There are two empty directoris in /media (mmcboot and mmcroot). Any idea what is causing this and more importantly how to fix the two existing systems? Thanks, Paul

Does anyone know of an ARM-based single board computer that stores its boot firmware in SPI flash and has write protection mechanisms (e.g., screws, pins, jumpers, etc.) for said SPI flash? The ROCK 3A has something like it, but I don't think the mechanism uses an SPI flash chip's intended WP control pin.

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

Any patch files I put in build/userpatches/kernel/archive/sunxi-6.1/ are applied correctly, however I cannot disable an Armbian patche.

Hey guys, I am pretty new to this. I am working on turning my Le Potato into a TV shuffler. I have decided to go with Armbian, since I can't SSH (which is required for the CoreElec method), because I use college internet, and it just isn't configured properly. I am currently trying to get a script going that will open a folder and begin randomly playing videos from within, but I cannot figure out where to start really. I think I need to import mpv into the script somehow, but I honestly cannot find any resources on how to do this. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hello, When we install armbian cinnammon, the eth0 ip is set default to 192.168.0.8. I cloned the installation and then the cloned conflicts with the source so I though to use armbian-config to change the IP adress. The ipv4 changed but I noticed warnings in/var/log/syslog : IPv6: eth0: IPv6 duplicate address.. It seems armbian-config does not update ipv6 or? What should be do, disable ipv6? I read it is not recommended at all.

Hello everyone I would like to set the monitor sleep time from the terminal. on Banana pi M1 with Armbian. You can help me ??

How can I archive this? Thank you in advance; Gerry

Hello everyone! I recently heard about running x86_64 programs on ARM using box64, and decided to give it a try. I get the impression that most people are just using it for games but I would like to use it to run Quartus (a program to work with Intel FPGAs). The issue I see is getting the USB drivers to work. Quartus includes drivers for several programming cables (I am only interested in the USB blaster cable), and as far as I know there are no drives available that run on ARM. Is there any hope at all of getting the x86 drivers to work on ARM? Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone Friends, maybe someone will give clear instructions on how to download armbian from an external ssd on the khadas vim2 board? Now I have armbian installed in emc and ubuntu images created by the developer khadas are loaded without problems. But I can't get armbian to work with ssd in any way. I will be grateful for any help!

On my NanoPi Neo Core, the flash has the following partitions: Most of the drives I've encountered have the starting sector set as 2048, while this one has 49152. I'm assuming that U-Boot reside before the 49152th sector. How can I see what is below 49152th sector in the partition table?

I have recently managed to get SPI boot to USB SSD working on my Odroid N2+. However, to get there, I had to manually set setenv rootdev "/dev/sda1" in my /boot/boot.cmd With that set, SPI boot works. However, obviously I should not set it manually there, and the setting gets overwritten by armbian-config. My understanding is, that I should let boot.cmd unchanged (rootdev "/dev/mmcblk0p1") and armbianEnv.txt should do its magic, but the rootdev setting in armbianEnv.txt is simply ignored upon SPI boot and it fails to boot, as it tries to load the root fs from SD card... Any pointers, what might go wrong here or …

Hi Guys, My Orange Pi Zero LTS H5 had a short circuit and no longer power up. worst that it seems that i cannot find any replacement for it as market is full of H2 & H3 variants but non is H5.

Hey there! I'm trying to create an image with Debian Bullseye using Debos and Armbian. My board is an Orange Pi PC H3. I am following this step guide to generate the image, but I'm having problems to read serial. The tutorial that I follow was created for Orange Pi Zero +2 H5, so I change the architecture for armhf. When I boot the image I don't have any file named "armbianEnv.txt". This file should be already there? Or I have to create it? Some idea about what can be the problem? Just for test I create this file with some parameters that I found, but still not working.

What is the recommended way to back up a user's *.img? I ask b/c I crashed the OS (Debian 11 Xfce) after a number of hours by upgrading via Synaptic -- don't know which of the upgrade group did the damage. It was a major pain to go back through everything I had done. I tried the very nice script "image-backup" from the image-utils developed by user RonR on the RPi Forum, but it complains about the wrong Partition config. Is there a method that is known to work?

Hello, I'm turning my head around this problem, I have read numerous forum posts and docs but I didn't found an answer: Following https://linux-sunxi.org/GPIO, the same pin number calculation applies for sysfs and gpiod. But, for example, for PL2 it will be 11*32+2=354, or for opi3 lts there are only 255 line numbers for gpiochip1 (as per `gpioinfo gpiochip1`) :-S Pleeease tell me what am I missing !?!

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…

https://armbian.lv.auroradev.org/apt/pool/bullseye-utils/h/htop/ Nothing there. Just running basic ... apt-get update && apt-get upgrade ... upon initial install, and it fails with "failed to fetch" (404) from whatever apt.armbian.com mirror it selects (of 2 or 3 observed).

Doesn't seem to be any problems or issues running htop built from deb-src, so, not sure why its needed in the Armbian source repositories ???

I was trying to install armbian on an ssd on my orange pi5, and when I ran the armbian-config program I saw that the firmware was frozen. I chose to unfreeze it, but I think should not have done that. Can I reinstall the frozen firmware packages and then hold those packages again? If so, how? Thanks.

Hello, I am trying to make a acces point so when the orange pi has no internet i can still connect to the acces point and acces a python server that is running in a docker container on it.

What can I do to make this work? https://imgur.com/a/5lecbHX

From the posts that I've read i think i have made the terrible mistake of updating the software via command. It was kinda slow so I did reboot command and the board since than won't start. I've bought the uart adapter and the boot process is as follows: https://pastebin.com/Pz1xb5jc Can i get support?

First off this is not a Rockpro64 it is a Rock64 Ver. 2 which the tags field would not let me enter. A couple years ago when I first started playing with the Rock64, I briefly used armbian as the OS. The flickering video was annoying so later I tried Manjaro which worked fairly well. Recently the (Manjaro/Arch) updates (as well as latest images) completely break the HDMI output. Since the system was rendered usless, I downloaded the latest Armbian Jammy hoping for better results. The image loaded from SD fine, I did updates manually fine, and it rebooted fine. The only problem I experience is that that anoying HDMI video flicker. It's worse when there is any s…

Hello, starting at Level 0 here. guess I'm just looking for a point in the right direction. want to learn how to install updates. (the short version) the long version is, I spent several hours learning I was burning armbian for my brand new libre H5 onto a Sandisk Xc V2 (oops) to re-read the instructions for the I don't know howmanith time before I noticed the detail about v2 cards are having a hard time being supported. Finally it is up and running I'm happy to say I'm currently using it which is a step in the right direction, but as I am using it to look up youtube videos to update firefox I realize I don't have audio so now I'm down a different path trying …

Hi. Armbian 21.02.1 / 5.15.74-sunxi (22.08.6 SMP) / Debian 11.5 is working flawlessly on my cubietruck for several days, and then just hangs. I've studied the armbian-hardware-monitor.log, systemlog, run a 2-minute periodic cron to watch the temperature, and even added a serial comsole in an attempt to find out what might be the cause. I have not seen any weird indications in these logs. Temperature stays between 37 and 45 degrees. When the system hangs, there are no error messages on the consoles or via the serial comm. Pings are unresponded then, and magic sysrq won't work then. Armbian is run on a sata harddisk, there are some harddisks attached via an USB hub too but …

If I understand the custom-image script is run as a chroot after the image is built. So didn't see anything specifically in the docs but can I ONLY run (from compile script) the custom image script on an already already built image (in /output/images)? Along the same lines can I chroot at any time to the image via the compile script? I should mention that I am using the docker container build for arm on my amd machine. (i.e. ./compile.sh docker.... )

I wanted to build the cli version but didn't see an obvious way to do that with conf variables and the docs don't illuminate that choice. so I tried BUILD_MINIMAL=no BUILD_DESKTOP=no and that seems to do force the cli version. Just suggesting that this might be easier to grok if the variable was say BUILD_TYPE=(desktop|cli|minimal|custom) with maybe default cli where custom might be a rootfs that is custom (like one I put together) and thus doesn't need to be reconstructed from the custom-image script. Maybe setting custom then RELEASE could hold the path to the tarball? If that seems better mayb…

Hi I want to modify base armbian image using choot in order to install necessary software. I am also creating user during that process. My question is how can I skip or prefill the form that appears on first run? (user creation, time zone setting etc.) I was surfing the forum and found this answer. So, I came up with few options: 1) It looks like I can prefill my desired values for the form in "/usr/lib/armbian/armbian_firstlogin" file by editing it during chroot 2) I can remove user input parts in "/usr/lib/armbian/armbian_firstlogin", but preserve other important lines, since user will be created during chroot Is this valid options or there …

armbian-config has a way to update the kernel within a major version but can one upgrade from 5.15 to 6.1 (current/edge). I assume if not then I have to build my own image? What I am after is jammy or bullseye with 6.1 kernel to support some hardware not supported in 5.15. I know the rolling releases (Lunar/Sid) have this kernel but I need a LTS release with 6.1.

Got a cli install on my OPi5 and have it connected to a small screen I have on my desk, link here, but the terminal has big borders on the sides, and the text is very small, how can I make the text bigger and get rid of the borders? Spec for size is 1024X600 16:9

I am going to have to type a lot of words which I have no idea what they mean.... but here goes. I have bought an Orange Pi 4 LTS and the official touchscreen which goes with it. This connects via a flat ribbon cable into what is called port LCD1. I believe it is MIPI - although have no idea what that means. The screen works perfectly, but is in portrait. I can rotate the screen to landscape with randr or in the gui, but the touch doesn't rotate with it. I tried using xinput (which wasn't installed) and xinput calibrate as well, but neither did anything. I believe that the screen was installed by adding a line in a file cal…

Hi, I have a few Orange Pi PC Plus using Armbian bulldog and have two questions / issues. its my 1st post and not sure where best to ask 1. I have a python program that starts on a service, this can take around 25 seconds to start, I would like sub 20, less than 15 would be fantastic but not sure what service's to remove. reading a few posts here, I have an svg log but unable to see how i can attach?. It boots from eMMC. The program uses USB, I2C and internal UART and wi-fi 2. on a few OPi the wifi will not work. if I type in "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" it returns " no scan results" if I reboot, it finds this. I have a lot of OPi and some have a wifi issue s…

Following the Armbian Guide (Section - Fine Tuning), I was able to change the audio sink but the change is not permanent on reboot. What am I missing ? Any hints would be appreciated Thanks

Hi everyone! I'm software developer but have no (or little) clue about electronics & electricity, and would like to dive into the SBC world. I still don't have a goal other than have fun and support this community during my free time. I probably need to buy some devices (my budget is limited): A voltmeter A soldering station. Which filler material is more appopriate? An USB-to-TTL adapter to debug the serial output. Specs? Last but not least: an SBC! Which one is good but currently lacks support from this community? Something else? Thank you for your advices!

Hello, I'd have a question, please. My goal is to setup the VNC server on Pine64 board to be able to connect to it remotely via RealVNC. Steps already done: (1) Armbian_22.11.1_Pine64_jammy_current_5.15.80_xfce_desktop.img.xz burn on 32GB micro sdcard (2) Armbian works well, it auto starts to nice grafic enviroment XFACE (3) I am able to connect to Pine64 remotely via Putty and SSH (4) I have followed this cookbook (#1) to install the x11vnc which works well when starting manually from command line (#2) #1:https://forum.armbian.com/topic/10330-remote-desktop-with-x11vnc/ #2 /usr/bin/x11vnc -rfbauth /home/bdn/.vnc/passwd -shared -ultrafilexfer -bg -o…

Hi, I'd really like to set up an affordable pi hole on my new network. I think I have it narrowed down to three choices, but I'm not sure which to select. There's an orange pi 3 LTS kit available for $61. However, there is a warning listed on that Armbian image regarding the PCIE controller, that I don't understand the implications of. How serious is that problem? For a significantly less I can pick up this android TV box, that has set up tutorials on YouTube for Armbian. TX3 Mini Android 8.1 TV Box 4K TV Amlogic S905W Quad core H.265 Decoding 2.4GHz WiFi TV Box - 2GB/16GB. But it's not clear to me how much more challenging this would be to …

Hello. Is it possible to make hotspot at orange pi zero 2w? Just on some other boards was able to do so. I was tryed armbian-config, but there even not able to use wi-fi at all. But I sow some projets on internet and there people was able to do hotspat and they even had more options on the screen. I downloaded image from main screen ( first 2 images even didn't run on my board). Kind regards Bheatha

I am currently attempting to compile a device tree overlay, in connection with an OPi Zero 2. But my questions here are of rather general nature (with regards to DT compiling), so I posted it here. ------- Goal: Creating a DT overlay to enable certain hardware currently not working on the board: wifi and HDMI output. Alternatively, compiling a "full" .dtb file for the board, replacing the one currently used during boot. For completeness: In the below I experimented starting from the Armbian_22.08.7_Orangepizero2_bullseye_edge_5.19.16.img.xz image, 406585908 bytes. uname -a: "Linux orangepizero2 5.19.16-sunxi64 #22.0…

Hello everyone, I was going to purchase Rock Pi 4 model B+ (with WiFi/BT and eMMC chip). I see that Rock Pi 4 family is supported by Armbian (https://www.armbian.com/rockpi4/), however, there is no mention of models A+ and B+. There are just A, B and C+. Could you please confirm/refute that Rock Pi 4 B+ is supported by Armbian and point me to the image for that model?

Hello! I`m very new on how SBC`s work, and wanna know if there`s some way to fix this situation: My audio is not actually being reproduced via the HDMI connection between my TV and my Orange Pi [Orange Pi 4 LTS]. I took a brief look at the solutions/instructions on the documentation page ((https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Fine-Tuning/#sound-output)), such as: # Check the available sound output options: pacmd list-sinks | less # The default will be marked with "*" # Press "q" to close # Define the new default sound output pacmd set-default-sink <NAME-OF-DESIRED-OPTION> but i only got this, and as far as i could test…

Test version 20221216-legacy for rk3399 (Station P1). The kernel 5.10.11 is used instead of 4.4. Some of the functions are not working yet. Switching to this version will get rid of a very outdated version of the BSP 4.4 kernel.

I downloaded the "Armbian 22.11 Jammy" image today and it won't boot, the red light won't come on most of the time (it does occasionally). I will no longer report the situation of my SD-card, power supply, and burning tools. In short, they are all fine, and I am a person who often burns Armbian' images, so I can say that I am very experienced. After repeated attempts, I downloaded "Orangepizero2_3.0.6_ubuntu_jammy_server_linux5.16.17" from the OPI official website, made a boot disk with the same method, and it can boot normally...

Hello dear armbianites, I'm trying to make the hc1 optimization for the odroid HC2 board permanent, every time the kernel is updated, armbiam loses the optimization and an admin action is needed to apply the optimization again via ambianconfig > System DTB > optimized board configuration, followed by a reboot. My Odroid HC2 suffers from temperature sensor problems, which can be easily bypassed. But I avoid restarts of this server which hosts an OMV instance for personal needs. I understand that the /boot/armbianEnv.txt file passes the information to /boot/boot.ini, but this file seems to be overwritten when the kernel is updated! is t…

So, i managed to boot from ssd, run docker ... after issues with usb port connection i desided to apt-get upgrade.... then stuff happends that i do not really understand. As i try to run docker afterwards there seems to be an issue with the storage-driver overlay2. I tried a- lot of fixes... but do not want to lose the containers and images that i used in docker. A lot of time has gone in to configuring ( and figureing? out) I cannot solve how to get the issue solved. Help! this man is desperate. How do i start?

Hi! I need to use the UART1 port on my NanoPi NEO. This usually means just adding "uart1" to the `overlays` in `/boot/armbianEnv.txt`. What I would like to do is build a custom image that already has the overlay activated by default. I read the following documentations: - https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Armbian_overlays/ - https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_User-Configurations/ But couldn't find anything about it. At first I tried to define the `DEFAULT_OVERLAYS` env var in `userpatches/config-example.conf` since I noticed it was defined in the configuration for the board, but it didn't work.

About 6 months ago I started a music project with the Raspberry PI Zero 2W. The project is a module to generate weird and wonderful drone music/sounds (example here) Because of the fact that it's nearly impossible to got hold of the Raspberry PI Zero 2W, I want to "port" the project to an alternative and available board with the same footprint and pinout; the BPI M2 Zero would be perfect. I have quite a challenge though; See image: The exact setup below with an Raspberry PI Zero 2W (O/S: Bullseye 11) and the install procedure described here, runs absolutely fine --- but now I want this setup to run on the BPI M2 Zero (O/S: "Armbian_20.05.1_Ba…

I have a Banana Pi mk1 that I'm trying to add a usb wifi adapter to so it can run klipper wirelessly. I'm still relatively new to linux and I'm having trouble getting it set up. "lsusb" shows that the wifi dongle is connected and is reading, and I copied the appropriate .bin file to /lib/firmware/mediatek. I can't get NetworkManger to show any wireless devices and I'm stuck. I've tried "nmcli device show" and it will only display my ethernet connection.

Anything involved with screen blanking /MUST/ be removed or disabled, on the bpim5, and it exists in so many places it took me 2 days of poking around to stop the no recovery except reboot if un-used for more than 15 minutes regardless of what it happens to be running at the time. When a blanker kicks in, the monitor powers down and the bpim5 goes inactive with only the red pwr led on steady, and nothing wakes it up except the reset button. These things use so little power that it doesn't bither me a bot to leave them running. I have an rpi4b running a big metal lathe that works as intended, with uptimes in years, this should be the same. It w…

When i run from sdcard on first boot it asks a series of questions and sets up the sd card. Image from here: https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-4-lts/ I then run ambian-install to install to emmc, then reboot. At this point it asks for a login, and the default (root 1245) doesnt work, or the ones i created on the sd card do not work! How can i login to the device after install and configure it?

I am new to arm devices. I'm trying to build a fully working armbian system for the pcduino8-uno which uses the Allwinner a83t/h8 soc. I know these are not the best, but I got it from amazon for $18 and it runs home assistant very well. I built a new u-boot which appears to initialize the hardware properly as it sees all the usb port as well as obtains an ip from my dhcp server. Using sun8i-a83t-allwinner-h8homlet-v2 as my starting point.. I built a new kernel from 6.1.0-rc6. Everything seems to work properly except the ethernet controller.

Hi, I try to connect a tft 240x240 display via SPI with my BPI m2zero and i am looking for a suitable library written in C. The display uses ST7789 driver and it will be used in combination with thermal camera. I've tried to use producers library for RPi https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/1.54inch_LCD_Module but the screen only blinks when i run a program with test bitmap. I tested it on Arduino and the display works fine. If someone was able to run such a display, can you share your library? Thanks for all the help
