Hi all, sorry for a kiddy queston but it the first time when I'm using Armbian. I need to enter to u-boot menu/enviroment/shell and I can't I try to press any button when I'm rebooting but nothing happened and i've just have a booted system I have only UART to my system. In other devices I have some time to press any key to enter to u-boot shell but there I don't have time. U-boot exec bootcmd immediately I need to enter to u-boot shell and reconfigure some env for my work. I use Armbian 25.8.2 noble

Hello everyone, I have a home dashboard (apache2 + php website) on this bananapi since 2018, when I installed a new SSD on it, now I noticed I can't open my dashboard anymore, and when I checked the logs I seen the drive was set to read-only mode. I started to copy my data from it, but I hope I won't need to change the ssd drive. Anyone around to give me some advices, how I could check and fix eventually the existing drive? Bellow are some logs. Thank you root@bananapi:/var/log# dmesg | grep sda [ 2.876748] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 234441648 512-byte logical blocks: (120 GB/112 GiB) [ 2.876842] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is…

Hi, I'm running Armbian 20.11.6 Buster with Linux 5.9.14-mvebu, on a ClearFog Base. This is (or will be) a production machine, so I'd like to keep it stable where possible. The default OpenSSH version in the stable Armbian build is 7.9. openssh-server/stable,now 1:7.9p1-10+deb10u2 armhf I need to update this package to a version greater than v8.1. By switching to the nightly Ambian build, I see the package is at version 8.4, but I don't know if running the nightly build is great on a production machine. Before I do anything stupid, could I get some feedback about the recommended/safest way to upgrade this package? …

I'd like to be able to plug my laptop into the USB OTG port and use that serial connection to communicate with an application on the orange pi. The default configuration is to give me a login. What's the correct way to change the getty settings for ttyGS0? Thanks!

Hi All I was wondering how does Armbian load the /sys/class/thermal_zone folder and the cpufreq in the sysfs on the orange pi zero . Going through the device tree I dont see an entry for thermal_zone as stated in the kernel document.

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:/…

Hi, Armbian users. I wonder is it safe to run `do-release-upgrade` to upgrade my Armbian + Ubuntu system from `20.04` to `22.04`? ``` New release '22.04.1 LTS' available. Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it. ```

I cannot understand how the drivers (dtb) could be choosen properly for banana pi pro. I download the 4.5 wheezy version for Banana Pi Pro but dmesg shows that the board is a "banana pi BP1-M1": [ 0.000000] Linux version 4.2.3-sunxi (root@production) (gcc version 4.8.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.8.2-16ubuntu4) ) #2 SMP Sun Oct 11 14:12:18 CEST 2015 [ 0.000000] CPU: ARMv7 Processor [410fc074] revision 4 (ARMv7), cr=10c5387d [ 0.000000] CPU: PIPT / VIPT nonaliasing data cache, VIPT aliasing instruction cache [ 0.000000] Machine model: Banana Pi BPI-M1 I checked the /boot directory and I see that the script.bin is linked with "bananapi.bin" even inside /boot/bin we can…

Hello all! Not sure if anyone saw this at all or not but the latest debian (11) now includes the panfrost and lima drivers! https://wiki.debian.org/PanfrostLima If I'm reading things correctly the needed bits and pieces (as well as a recent kernel) are in the packages "libglx-mesa0" and "libgl1-mesa-dri". Thought I would give this a go on a now (somewhat old-ish) Odroid XU4 device. It uses the mali t620 graphics chipset which I believe is in those panfrost drivers. I used the image file "Armbian_21.08.1_Odroidxu4_bullseye_current_5.4.142.img.xz". I did notice that the older kernel in that image (5.4.x) did not seem to detect anythi…

Hi all, I have a OrangePi R1 and want to enable SPI in U-Boot to talk to connected leds. The leds are connected to SPI0 on the pins: 19 (MOSI), 4 (5v) and 6 (GND) . I enabled the CONFIG_SUN4I_SPI flag to enable the sunxi SPI driver. I also added the following lines to `arch/arm/dts/sun8i-h2-plus-orangepi-zero.dts` to enable both SPI0 and SPI1. &spi0 { status = "okay"; flash@0 { compatible = "mxicy,mx25l12805d", "jedec,spi-nor"; }; }; &spi1 { status = "okay"; }; To control the leds I added a call to the following function inside the `board_init()` function inside: `/board/sunxi/board.c`. static int set_leds() { int bus …

Hello. I want to create an image for this Board: Allwinner R528-S3. You can find info about it here.

According to http://linux-sunxi.org/H2%2B#VariantsI should be able to differentiate between the H2+ and the H3 via the CPU SID. I have an Orange Pi Zero board with this output from /proc/cpuinfo Hardware : Allwinner sun8i Family Revision : 0000 Serial : 02004620161dea8a According to that site "the last byte of the first word" should be either 0x42 or 0x83 since the Orange Pi Zero has an H2+. Yet I am not finding 0x42 or 0x83 *anywhere* in "02004620161dea8a". Anyone know how to correctly identify the CPU variant?

Can i change cpu max frequency to 1600Mhz like on loboris img? only for testing purpose.Or is locked witch kernel compilation??

Hello, I am using armbian now for some time as a smb server on my Orange Pi 3. It's working but I am not really happy with the performance. I only get write speeds up to 30-40 MB/s. On netdata I saw that the cpu utilization is very unstable. The writing speed on the hdd is also not constant and oscillating like the cpu utilization. Does anybody have a clue why I have this oscillating cpu utilization and the low samba performance? Are there any tweaks to improve the performance?

Greetings everyone. I have sucessfully used Armbian Bionic in a production environment. Its really great. I am now evaluating Armbian Buster and I am seeing a strange issue perhaps you can direct me where to look so I can do troubleshooting. With the board connected to our corporate network, it takes about 48 hours when the whole board (OrangePi+ 2E) will crash with the CPU burning up. The second time it happened I had htop running to try and diagnose the problem. Investigation revealed that rngd became unstable due to the nm-applet. This led me to re-running the known conditions when this happens, with the network disconnected and now it doesn't cras…

Hi there, I am quite new to Armbian (Debian), but experienced on Fedora (RedHat). I want to use national language support on my Armbian device [Orange Pi PL+]. In particular Polish (but if this post transforms into guide it will be for others too). How do I install(?) / enable (?) / rebuild (?) packages (especially GUI) to enable Polish language? With this, OPi / Armbian would be an "viable" alternative to some "STBs" (2x less price... freedom of installing packages). Fonts, keyboard (I saw only "Polish-Dvorak" which is not correct, should be "polish-programmers" - with ALT-Gr or Polish-"typewriter" which I guess is not available now), all these stuff. …

Hi guys, I am tying to get HW video acceleration to work without a full desktop environment. Right now, I am able to get videos to start to play with startx /usr/bin/mpv --vo=x11 video.mkv. However, the video seems to be software decoded. I have tried startx /usr/bin/mpv --vo=vdpau video.mkv but mpv failed to start with an error message "[vo/vdpau] Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 1Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.Video: no videoA0". I have also tried startx /usr/bin/mpv --vo=x11 --hwdec=vdpau video.mkv but the video doesn't seem to be hardware accelerated. Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks!

Hello, i recently recieved my orange pi 4 lts and the idea was to use it a both media server and SmartTV features replacement. Sadly, using browsers to play Kinopoisk (russian streaming service) was a flop, no browser i tried can use or implement Wadevine decently. I tried Vivaldi, Firefox and Chromium/ How do you it with Netflix, if you do it at all. Any advice, what can i do?

hi there, I'm trying to power my NanoPI over a Loudspeaker cable with 12V. At the end I have a 7805 voltage regulator with 100nF at input and output. At the Powersupply i meassure 12V and 200-300mA current. The 7805 gets extremely hot! Anyone seen similar behavior or got me a tip? Sincerely, Twosky2000

Hello all, I have a Novasom M7 Plus board with a Rockchip RK3328 that initially had an SD card with Armbian. I made the necessary hardware connections to connect to a screen via HDMI and then I followed all the necessary steps to perform the BOOT through the eMMc memory but after transferring the rootfs it will not start via EMMC, only with the SD card it is possible to start the system. I have tried a lot of solutions that I am finding in the forums but I still haven't been able to solve the problem. The goal is to start Armbian without having the SD card inserted.

I have read the other thread about this. If that one would not be closed I would have posted in there. My boottime is around 45 seconds and I would like to have it (much) faster. I run the V 20.11.06 Buster current 5.9.14 on two RockPi's 4 A with uBoot, NVME and no SD-card. I bought the TTL-Cable and it gives a lot, but the pause I am complaining about is entierly after all of that. The pause comes when minicom says "Rockpi4 Login:". The RockPi seems still to be "booting", black screen on and of, NVME Led blinking burst from time to time (no pattern), for ~15 seconds. Then I get the red Logo with the circling dots, they circle 7-8 times and only the…

I realised, that my OrangePI Plus 2E doing the logrotate of /var/log.hdd and not /var/log dir I'm using: root@orangepiplus2e:~# lsb_release -a Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) Release: 10 Codename: buster root@orangepiplus2e:~# uname -r 5.3.13-sunxi In my dir /etc/logrotate.d/ I realised that in every file standing: /var/log.hdd/.... as a path for logrotate even if I change to /var/log/... everytime when I restart my box. Now if I understand correctly the ram part is named: /var/log/... what can I see from: root@orangepiplus2e:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev …

Hello. Sorry, I am Russian and have no money for a strong computer. I have only a tablet PC, but I really want to learn Linux (and at the same time try it). So I am trying to install Armbian build on my tablet (Texet TM-9751HD). The most suitable build (mainline Kernel 4.19) is "Bananapi M2" (but it was loaded only with the "yones-toptech-bs1078-v2.dtb", so I was able to get a prompt # - suggestion to log in, where I must input login/password). The problem is that the tablet has only one micro-usb port, which works as charging and OTG. The keyboard works fine under Android, but doesn't respond at the prompt. Also, I tried the old Kernel(3.4) and the original Scrip…

Hello to all, I've followed this thread to compile the new u-boot and kernel: The only difference during the instructions was that I've had to enable the 'EXPERT="yes"' mode to access BananaPiPro.

Hi! I'm sorry, didn't noticed I had posted in wrong section, so here we go again! I'm trying to activate X11 hardware acceleration on this board. It's running an RT PREEMPT Kernel from the project AllwinCNC which aim to run linuxcnc software using ARISC core to generate steps in realtime. Unfortunately, I'm getting very bad performance in X11 with lima driver. It seems to be running on software and not the lima driver itself and I'd like to know if it is possible to have the graphics acceleration done in hardware instead. CPU usage is going to 100% and it is resulting in errors on the aforementioned CNC controller software due to this. BOARD: Oran…

Edit: Issue is solved, see here. It's an application problem but according to an extensive Google research this does not seem to be a common problem of Samba, so it might be an integration problem with the environment it is running in. The setup: Armbian 19.11.6 (Debian Buster) running the current kernel on a NanoPi M4V2, offering network shares via Samba. Clients are Windows 10 and a BananaPi running Armbian (Debian Buster 4.19.y kernel) as well. The observation: When downloading (large) files from the Samba share to Windows 10, the download speed very often suddenly drops down to zero and stays on that rate (forever). This can be best…

As the title says, I would like to ask your help if you still keep some old working orange pi one plus image. I have downloaded some images in https://dl.armbian.com/orangepioneplus/ but none of them work with my boards. I could not SSH to the board or it says `Network error: Connection refused` As far as I know orange pi one plus H6 image OPi One Plus - 5.1.0-sunxi64 works with board. Please share your working image download links. Thank you for your help

Hello, everyone. Armbian website says OnePlus 8t is supported with "standard support" (here: https://www.armbian.com/oneplus-kebab/). I dont know what that includes as it is not very clear. Will one be able to do calls, send messages etc on that phone with Armbian (e.g. similar to sailfish os or ubuntu touch on their respective supported devices). I am basically asking if cellular, wifi, camera etc works fine.

Hello fellow Armbian folk, I've been a happy armbian user for many years. Recently, I've been trying to upgrade to bookworm from bullseye on my cubietruck, however have been hampered by Hash Sum mismatch errors from multiple armbian mirrors. I have followed all instructions on clearing the /var/lib/apt/files, apt clean, but nothing seems to help. I've tried multiple armbian mirrors with no luck. So now I'm seeking some community support.

I'm a beginner and I'm really afraid that my work won't be wasted and I won't have to set everything up from scratch again.

Some people noticed that Pulseaudio mixes is showing "Built-in Audio" for all the audio devices of the SBCs. I investigated and found that the issue is related to ALSA: the devices are not really exposed by their real hardware connection (HDMI, SPDIF, ...) but just as "hw" devices. Pulseaudio is interpreting this as built-in audio because does not know anything else of the device. I'm no ALSA expert at all, copied some already existing configuration files without really understanding what I did, I found a solution. To solve the problem with SPDIF and HDMI you need to place the following two configuration files in /usr/share/alsa/card. Call the…

Trying to set frequencies and governor for both types of CPUs on this processor. armbian-config sets the max freq and governor correctly for the two big proccesors but no config for little. Tried cpufreq-set for little, but it does not respect governor. If its set to a freq is stays there indefinitely, and if conservative governor is set the max freq goes back to 1.5. How do we set max freq to 1.2 for little, and governor to conservative and have both stick like big does with armbian-config?

Hi, I’m new to the forum and just wanted to take a moment to appreciate the incredible work Armbian has done for the community. I have been tinkering around with Radxa rock 5 ITX SBC and Armbian.

Just recently started getting ICE when building large C/C++ code using both GCC and CLANG. I suppose memory is failing in some way related to HW. On x86 Ubuntu I have memtest86+ in GRUB, but how do I test for memory errors on Armbian? I tried memtester and stressapptest but they test only part of memory, and so far don't show any errors, does something similar to memtest86+ exist for ARM?

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'm trying to get Armbian running on a Rock Pi S, but my custom builds aren't booting (see output below). I can successfully boot with the Buster image from here, but I need a custom custom build that will eventually include a few added scripts and be flashed to the NAND flash on the board, instead of using an SD card.

Hi, on the renegade page: https://www.armbian.com/renegade/ It says we can run this cpu at 1.51Ghz, but when i follow the instructions nothing happens, is there a step i'm missing?: root@renegade:/mnt/config# sed -i "s/MAX_SPEED=.*/MAX_SPEED=1510000/" /etc/default/cpufrequtils root@renegade:/mnt/config# service cpufrequtils restart root@renegade:/mnt/config# cpufreq-set -g performance root@renegade:/mnt/config# armbianmonitor -m Stop monitoring using [ctrl]-[c] Time CPU load %cpu %sys %usr %nice %io %irq CPU C.St. 12:41:39: 1392MHz 1.37 17% 4% 7% 0% 3% 1% 65.4°C 0/6^C Is there an updated dtb file or overlay somewhere?

I have FriendlyElect CM3588 (RK3588 based) Nas kit which is lagging behind in terms of incorporating the latest NPU driver (the current is 0.9.3) in their firmwares. Thier repository contains Ubuntu / Debian with Kernels 6.1.x As far as I know the latest RKNPU version is 0.9.6. and as I understand there is no OS on Armian tailored for CM3588. What is best way to get the lastest driver?

Hi All, I have a RockPi4B and am using Armbian buster 5.9.14 downloaded from the RockPi page. One of my main motivations for getting the RockPi4 was its hardware AES capabilities.

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…

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? TIA

Hi, I'm trying to use ZFS but the kernel I'd like to use doesn't support loadable modules. The version is 22.08.4 at the moment (5.10.147) Can I use zfs-dkms on linux-image-current-meson64? And I'm curious why loadable modules are not supported by default for linux-image-current-meson64, is it same with every model? or probably Odroid-HC4 is one of the models in which loadable modules are not build by default? System diagnosis information: https://paste.armbian.com/ezisijedob Thank you, Gunwoo Gim

I want to load my custom service to show orangepi zero as three devices on the host PC. But as the UDC ( /sys/class/udc/musb-hdrc.1.auto) is being used by another service which is probably the builtin service using udc to show orangepi as: Bus 001 Device 048: ID 0525:a4a7 Netchip Technology, Inc. Linux-USB Serial Gadget (CDC ACM mode) I want to disable that service so that my custom service can use the UDC for the required purpose.

Thanks to help in another thread to solve our eMMC problems, we are making progress getting Armbian working well on the H2+ boards we have. Now we would like to be able to make a snapshot of the eMMC device and then be able to write the whole image to another board. I have been able to create a single file backup using both these methods (done after booting from SD). The created files appear to be the same size. dd if=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=16M | gzip -c > /mnt/usbflash/emmc.img.gz or ./backup_block_device.sh (from https://code.online-mp.pl/svn/public/backup_block_device/trunk/) To write the image, we'd like to use FEL. …

Am I right, that there are no wifi support at uboot level for sunxi boards? And the only similar solution to use wifi at early level is to boot linux kernel with wifi support from SPI flash.

Hi all, I can't find any documentation (i prob just don't know where to look), so just a quick question: I have a Mi Box S, and i can run Armbian fine on it, it uses "booti ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramdisk_addr_r} ${fdt_addr_r}" to load the kernel images, i'm assuming they are all unsigned. But i would also like to run unsigned app images (openElec/emuElec/etc) which use "bootm <kernel_addr>" but those return an error: aml log : Sig Check 1467 So my question is are you guys doing any "magic" to get it to load, or does "booti" not do a signature check where as "bootm" does? Thanks.

Hi, as I am testing ARMBian (Vanilla Kernel) and also testing to set up a reliable Seafile server on my banana Pi, I would like to hear some opinions from the Pro's here (Igor, tkaiser, zador.blood.stained) I'm thinking of choosing btrfs for my data SSD hooked on SATA port and here I am not sure about following questions: * Trim support * performance compared to ext4 writing reading especially smaller chunks (seafile makes chunks out of big files) * reliability? I can hardly find any info regarding "ARMBian and btrfs" * Current drawbacks? May be btrfs is not the right choice for servers like Seafile? * Is btrfs good for SSD? May be it has more indirect write …

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 all, I'm experimenting with OPi Zero 2+ and I would like to flash onboard eMMC with a fresh Armbian (from a clean img, not from running system). What I did is booting from SD, downloading an Armbian img and dd'ing it into emmc device file, being sure it would have been enough since is what we do (I think?) when we write img to SD cards. I found out it won't boot unless I manually flash sunxi-spl.bin at 0x2000. What am I missing? Isn't that supposed to be flashed with image? Is dd a proper method to flash a clean image on mmc from a running system? Thank you

What is the the best reasonably priced camera module for Orangepi models these days? Raspberry has 5 and 8 megapixel camera modules from 7-30 euros. Orangepi has only 2 megapixel cameras.

Hello, I am wondering which board I should buy between thoses 2 : Orange Pi Plus 2E Allwinner H3 39$ (all in one) and ODROID-XU4 Exynos5422 80$+taxes(=~100$) I want a board that can deliver good transfert speed over the network to host files. So good bandwidth for network AND I/O for the hard drive. Plus I have a 4K TV so I would love to enjoy it (not sure 4k is supported by both cards) Obviously the XU4 is faster (and with usb3) but nearly twice the price so.. It has to to worth it. So, do you have some hints / numberses to show ? Best kernel support. Best co…

before you start: Armbian already provides kernel build script in armbian build framework, and you can download these packages via `apt` in common cases, you shouldn't build kernel yourself, even you want to build a customer kernel package, you should use armbian build framework. because you can get best supports. so below content is only for experts. prepare source code: 1, stable linux kernel source code: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git 2, armbian build framework, fo…
