I am a Linux-Newbee myself but in the DOS/Windows-world I was programmer and admin. But my friend is a total user-only (he is physiotherapist an GOOD in that) so I ended up being his computerman. We both have the rockPi 4 A (no WLAN) with Armbian XFCE. He also has some pad with Android. Everything was good for about a year. He is using Telegram a lot. On the pad he had several messages about a Telegram update, one click, done. On the RockPi with Armbian instead he had messages about using an outdated version of Telegram which soon will cease functioning. No Updates offered. He installed Telegram new which worked, but after a restart he had the old versio…

Hi all, SPI has been enabled into /boot/armbianEnv.txt with: overlays=spi-spidev param_spidev_spi_bus=0 Nothing works knowing that the wiring between device and BPI has been checked more than 3 time. How can I check that SPI0 works well? where can I check that dtd file is correctly loaded? What are created files on fs when the spi port is correctly enabled? ==> Armbian 21.05.1 Focal with Linux 5.15.48-sunxi Many thanks

Ok so I’m using a orange pi 3lts and when I try connecting to a Wi-Fi network it fails so to find the problem I ran armbianmonitor -u and it said network/firewall problem detected not able to upload debug info and I tried to use armbian config to fix this but it didn’t work how do if fix this?

After trying different distro for the BPI M2 Zero, I installed Armbian, and it works great with a standard 16:9 screen. Now I would like to use a bar LCD (Waveshare 7.9 inches); but the setup instructions are for RPI, not for Armbian, so I am not sure how you set up a screen that is not default (And I exclude that I can just plug in the screen and it will magically work. I am not using X interface since the BPI is quite slow, so I am in terminal. 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've recently flashed armbian on my sd card for my odroid c4. At some point I may have restarted it and it is no longer booting. When I plug in the odroid it is stuck on the boot screen with the spinning symbol. I used the latest desktop version armbian jammy when setting up. I am unable to flash over this on the sd card and it is not able to be formatted by windows. I tried diskpart etc but nothing seems to be working. Can anyone help me out? Thanks -R

I wonder what the best desktop replacement might be. I'm in need for a stable and secure desktop replacement that is energy saving and capable of dooing office work, browsing the web and even playback videos from youtube and prime video. 4K isn't necessary but I want at least 720p or 1080 fullscreen. If possible: No internal spi / eeprom / flash memory. I want the firmware to be loaded from a USB Storage / SD Card that gets hardware write protected after the first setup. Like a live distro from dvd so that there is no risk of getting infected by rootkit / bad firmware ever. Most current gen SoC offer built in flash memory. Older ones like Rock64, Pi3 and …

Hello! I met next problem: I need configure UART communication with baud rate 1 Mb/s (or 2 or 3). But internal clock of the bus is 1.5 MHz, and if i try to communicate with 1 Mb/s, error is too big. Is it possible somehow change internal clock of the uart? Or maybe any other possibilities how to configure such communication ? Or maybe you know any models with higher internal clock of the bus (Like on 6.5 MHz on raspberry pi 4, for example) ? Now one section is equal to 1.333 microseconds, but it should be 1.0 mcs. I found same topic at this forum, but it's no solution there: Thank you and have a good day

a while back I created my own Armbian environment for the Orange PI Pc that uses Xstart to run a custom .exe I created. the Program uses Uart to communicate with an external Pic chip. the program has been running well and have not had any problems with it. I created a .img of the environment and have been disabusing copies. however recently ( about 2 months after ) I have been told that some of them have been crashing and digging into it I noticed is was Uart communication failing. A temporary solution has been replacing the SD card with a new one but this does not fix the issue of this happening in the first place. I have attached the Uboot of both the failing program an…

Hi everyone, After migrating to a nvme ssd using the recommended official adapters, I've run into this issue. (Been really frustrating not been able to boot reliably, replug it until it works) Before I migrated, if I went fdisk -l it would start flashing and always show up. It's only when booting, it seems to be unable to boot/stay on most of the time. 1) I put power into pi. 2) The ssd blinks, if it stops blinking, it didn't boot. If it keeps blinking success. Is there a way to delay mounting the ssd or better debug this issue?

The internet is full of reports, that USB devices get disconnected at random after some time. Camera or disc-drives, keyboards etc. For me it was a GPS device.

Hello, I'll like to build my own kernel, mostly to learn more about Linux on ARM. The device I have is RK3399 based (Nanopi M4v2). Can I use the mainline kernel or are some parches needed? Where can I get the correct DTS? Is there any guide on how to do this? I'm not unfamiliar on how to build a custom kernel, but that was on x86/x64. ARM is a very different animal.

Has anyone gotten this display to work in Armbian? I'm on a Rock Pi 4b and its getting power but I can't get any kind of display out of it over the MIPI cable. I can't find any kind of documentation for how to do this, just vague discussions of overlays - I did try the rock pi raspberry pi display overlay and it doesn't work. Thanks.

Hi all! I just received a NanoPi R4S, and I got a 128GB microSDXC for it. I loaded the rk3399-sd-friendlywrt-21.02-20220721 image onto it using win32diskimager. I put the SD card in, plugged in a USB-C, and let it setup for a few minutes. When it seemed ready, I plugged my laptop into the LAN port and went to its page. I logged in, all looked good. After setting a password, I tried changing some of the LAN and WAN settings, and the page stopped loading. I waited, but nothing happened. As as how I couldn't give a proper shutdown command, I disconnected the power and plugged back in. The NanoPi then booted, but the Sys light k…

Hello. I installed armbian (22.05 jammy) on my banana pi m1 (original model). Since it doesn't come with onboard wifi, I decided to attach wifi dongle which uses RTL8188EUS chip. However, although i see it is recognized as "realtek ~~ RTL8188EUS network adapter" when i type 'lsusb' command, it doesn't show up as 'wlan0' when i enter 'ifconfig -a' command. What can I do to make the module work again?

Hello, I installed Retroarch from the repos, tried to install a "core" from the Retroarch updater but no cores were available. I searched about that if the installed version is too old no cores will be available, so I added the Retroarch ppa and installed the newest version, but got the same problem. Does Retroarch work under Armbian? Do I need to manually install "core" binaries? If so, where can I get them? Thanks.

Hi I installed the official release on my Z83 mini PC and it boots up great, but when I go to install to the emmc it fails at the U-Boot generation step with the error below.

"Error while creating U-Boot loader image with mkimage" "Error: no u-boot package found, exiting." Thank you in advance for any help.

Hello everyone, I'm using SBC Rockpi4b running the Armbian system. I encountered a problem when using the Ethernet port. I connected the SBC to my laptop via an ethernet cable directly, just like what I did with the RaspberryPi. while playing with RaspberryPi (Raspbian OS) I can get the ethernet connected, the ip address is set to 168.254.xxx.xxx, i.e., private address. then I can successfully ping the RaspberryPi's ip address in my PC. while playing with the SBC (Armbian OS), the network manager seems to keep waiting a DHCP server repeatedly; and after a while (around 40 seconds) it pops up saying the ethernet disconnected; the only way I can make it connected is to set…

I'm looking to update my current Armbian File server (orange pi plus). The main reason is to gain USB3 for faster file serving, particularly rsync. I have little need for most of the features available (bluetooth,wifi,gpio,audio,hdmi), just a stable, low-cost, box that has usb3/gigabit ethernet and doesn't need a fan. I was thinking of an orange pi 3 lts for this purpose-- it seems to run armbian, and it won't break the bank at 54usd shipped with case + power supply. Do you see any problems with this choice or have alternative choices?

I have tried many Armbian images with my orange zero 2 but the best I get is the Armbian logo. Can anyone tell me if there is something else does need to be done? With the images from the orangepi page the board works fine, so is not the hardware apparently. Thanks.

Hi All, I am a total newbie in orange pi and ambian. I just want to use orange pi one as my pi hole server. i use sandisk ultra pro 32G a a huawei 2A power block using usb to barrel connector. After my first install, and try to ssh, the port 22 timed out in armbian I also tried reflashing to debian, and still cannot ssh. I already tried some suggestion i found like dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server, changing time out of ssh. i tried armbianmonitor -u, but im getting a Network/Firewall problem detected. you think this might be related to ssh connection. thanks!

Hello, Just wondering how this build compares to XanMod for performance related features under an AMD CPU? Thank you.

That's all, really. I appreciate the amount and quality of work that the leaders here generously share with the community. I donated an amount that would buy 6 bottles of my preferred local brew, hoping that the project's accountants will allow at least that tiny drop in the total donation pool to be used to celebrate a little. It's well-earned!

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. I've connected the INT line from both multiplexers to the gpio11 interrupt pin on the Nano Pi Neo, and attached to that a pull-up resistor of 10k. I've used interrupts before, but my question is how to poll both PCA9535 I/O using one interrupt? my DTS when polling one (It works!): /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "allwinner,sun4i-a10", "allwinner,sun7i-a20", "allwinner,sun8i-h3", "allwinner,sun50i-a64", "allwinner,sun50i-h5"; fragment@0 { /* This fragment is required only if using interrupts *…

I just (several days ago) installed Armbian 22.05 OdroidN2 Jammy XFCE. It uses kernel 5.10. Then I noticed there is an alternative version 22.05 jammy XFCE with kernel 5.17. Is it possible to update to the later kernel from the image I used without re-imaging and starting from scratch? I have already installed and setup a lot of other applications and data. I can see i have packages linux-image-current-meson64/jammy (linux-dtb... & linux-headers...) installed.

Hey, So basically as the title says. If i install the CLI version of armbian on the OPI 3 lts it works fine for a while but than randomly starts locking up and saying (Look attached image) I don't know why this is happening. Ive also tried the one with a desktop and i didn't seem to get that error ever?

I've installed the OPI 4 image awhile ago for my PI as that was the only one available. I've since installed just the kernel targeting this model. Is there a way I can ensure future kernel updates will look for the lts model? Thank you. (Also the topic tags are missing the 4lts model as of this moment)

I would like to permanently change at start up the UART permissions of /dev/ttyAML0 to give user, read write permissions always.

Hi All We are having a problem where on booting the /var/log is filled and uses all mmc storage space. Does anyone know how to intervene in te booting process to stop this mapping and filling up of the fs? This issue sometimes causes the device to fail to boot properly and remain inaccessible. (It may indeed be that an unclean shutdown is causing this problem). Booting up properly is essential for us and we do not want or need these logs . We send the logs over the server, so capture these anyways. This posting refers to our same issue: Any help much appreciated. Thank you for Armbian! Best wishes Eric

Good morning, I've got a Libre Computer Renegade, with Amrbian Bullseye minimal (on an sd card) .

I am not shure if this is board specific so I post it here and hope that you might be willing to try this on your board: - I installed audit: apt install auditd - I set up a rule for a file audit should watch: auditctl -w /boot/armbianEnv.txt -p wa - I change or touch the file being watched: touch /boot/armbianEnv.txt - I have a look at the log of audit: cat /var/log/audit/audit.log And then ––– I see nothing... Any hints what's going wrong? My guess is that the kernel might be lacking the audit module?!

I followed instructions here to expose Jupyter notebook over LAN , which had previously worked on Raspbian. However, on Armbian the browser returns ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT. The client is win11. To the best of my knowledge, no firewall (iptables or nftables) is installed. Many thanks for any help Joe ETA: local loopback via lynx (at given IP, not localhost) connects without error

I reflashed the sd after some issues and while firstrun script connected me to service provider wifi without error, the ethernet (currently connected to win11 enterprise) doesn't get an IP. Does windoze need to act as DHCP server? If so, will it clobber the wifi? Conversely, if I set the Pi as DHCP server for strategic reasons, will it clobber Windoze wifi connection? Thanks so much Joe

Not that I ever got this working correctly on Raspbian, but how do I go about requiring a password for sudo? I am able to change the password via 'sudo passwd' without error, but I still don't know how to make the system request the password every time I sudo. Thanks so much Joe

Hi All, On an Odroid N2+ board, I have tried to install ZFS following different suggestions I found on the web. None of them worked so far. I tried: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/19952-cant-install-kernel-headers-via-armbian-config/ https://forum.armbian.com/topic/18790-odroidhc4-with-5139-meson64-missing-zfs-modules/ https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17337-zfs-just-works-now-on-armbian-2-step-instructions-if-you-are-thick-like-me/ I installed both Armbian 22.05 Bullseye 5.10.110-meson64 first, and then Jammy 5.17. Could someone please help me? Thanks 🙂

Ok folks... This very setup was fixed and made working at my job. I tested from the new M$ Terminal while connected to the LAN of my office, extremely satisfied I returned to home and when I connected the HC4 to my router, the "systemd smbd.service" didn't work again (event though at my workplace I rebooted for testing purpose the board several time and Samba had been woking all the time). The Office LAN is most likely managed by a Win Server and is on 192.160.0.X, at home I am connected to a Comcast Cable Router on 10.0.0.X... This the error I get from systemd: × smbd.service - Samba SMB Daemon Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/sy…

Hi! just want to share the experience. I'm using Armbian in an environment that cannot access the internet. So, NTP becomes a big issue, and I have to setup my local NTP server using Chrony. Things should be simple, but it just didn't work out. I stuck with this problem for a few weeks until I realized I'm trying to setup Chrony NTP server on a virtual machine. Then, I found this one on stackoverflow. https://serverfault.com/questions/1062023/the-least-bad-settings-for-chrony-as-the-ntp-server-on-a-virtual-machine It suggests how to setup NTP server on virtual machine, but I didn't follow through as I solved my problem by setting up Chrony NTP ser…

Hi, after upgrade to armbian bullseye AirPrint on odroid HC2 from iPhone/ipad stopped works. I share old HP Printer on cups - on previously version of armbian works everything well.

Dear Friends, I have been testing Armbian 22.04 Current CLI version and 22.01 Edge Jammy CLI and both does not reboot. When I reboot Armbian the LEDs stop to blinking but I can clearly listen the rust-drives spinning, also the LCD is still active. Initially I though it was because the software that handles the LCD but I made a test without it and it was the same. I also thought that was because the spin drives, but when I did the test I made it without the disks as well, therefore I excluded both cases. Since I didn't read anything about it, I think this issue is affecting just me, any idea where I may look to find out what …

I want to use cubieboard 1 to host 5 websites. So I installed bind9 for dns in order to add godaddy and bigrock. Please keep wan and lan in mind when reading this. The wan address is 122.157.152.57, while the lan address is 192.168.1.2. Some applications are functional, while others are not. Godaddy and Rockbig have already added bind9 DNS. On wan, Apache isn't working. It travels to modem or router login (ip address: 192.168.1.1) at domian projectok.com, and I can view a test html page on the LAN. webmin is operational. proftpd: Failed to start qbittorrent is up and running.

I see a lot of tutorials online and they all have seems to have different ways of going about making a share and it seems most of them are logged into a user as opposed to root. I'm logged in to root through ssh so that might the the cause of many of my issues I believe. I did a simple apt install samba and it seems to be running fine. I see other tutorials recommending you install "smbclient" and "cifs-utils", is that necessary? Some of the tutorials also say to add user groups and to add settings to the firewall. I'm just using 1 user and don't have any firewalls installed, unless armbian comes with one by default. I think my my service is running fine thoug…

Hello, I'm using armbian on Orangepi PC PLUS and i'm controlling GPIO pins with Python. Everything is working fine when I start my Python script. Problem is during boot with GPIO3, because it's by default on pull up, and that is making me problem on device which is connected to that pin. Can I change that pin to be default OUT and pull down? When my python scripts starts, it will change GPIO3 to OUT and set it to 0, but I have only problem during boot.

I've tried the latest CLI and GUI images. I tried different microSD cards but the result is the same. Both images get to Booting using the fdt blob and never progress. Is there anything I can try to get this working?

can someone tell me which board hardware supports video decoding with armbian? preferably with (C)VLC? Thanks a lot for your help!

Sorry for my stupid question. If I connect by TTL to USB adapter, after setting up login/password, terminal is freezing. Board is Nanopi NOE2. I think this is due to the fact that my adapter is warm or not of poor quality. While I order a new one, is there a way to enable ssh access over the lan network?

Hi. I have an Orange PI Zero 2 It displays fine on a normal TV through HDMI but on the waveshare there is no display at all. The waveshare display works fine on the HDMI output of my Windows PC. I have chased my tail for 2 weeks looking for a solution but can't get it to work. If you can please point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/4inch_HDMI_LCD Thank You

Hi, since today the torrent downloader script "seed-armbian-torrent" on my seedbox fails to download the current "all-torrents.zip" from: https://dl.armbian.com/torrent/all-torrents.zip I then opened the link in my browser and I got a certificate warning (see attached). It seems the certificate for https://dl.armbian.com/ expired on 21. May 2022. Can someone confirm this, or is it an error on my end?

Hi all. I am new in both OrangePi hardware and Armbian OS. I bought Orange Pi Zero 512 MB. I aim to develop a stand-alone device using this board. I am too confused with my readings. Do you have any idea for the following run rules together on the same board? (1) When I connect via serial (USB), it runs bash. It will ask user name and password. I can write a program, compile it, update the OS, and change settings. <This part is okay.> I want to use a GUI for this part. (2) When I supply 5-Volt power via extension pins, it runs stand-alone. It will not ask for a username and a password. It starts with an application developed in either Python or C programming lan…

Hello together, I just can't get VLC to work with 1080p mp4 on Armbian 22.02 Bullseye. The video starts, but it jerks enormously. 720p on the other hand runs perfectly. Does anyone have any ideas? best regards, Mike

Hi, Is it possible to install python in armbian OS. Thank you for the answer

Does anyone know what sort of latency there is using mainline hw accelerated video encoding on Allwinner H3(H.264/265)? How about latency of mjpeg(if it is supported)? I'm trying to build a system with lowest possible latency.

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?

I'm trying to add a USB device using configfs to the zero but I don't want to break the pre existing serial connection on USB0 so I want to put it on USB3, the overlay has this as usbhost3 so before I spend hours designing a daughter board and trying to fix something that's never going to work the question is can I use this interface for a device.

Not sure if this is beginner or advanced, so I guess I'll start here. I have a "le potato" I recently bought. Getting it working has been a nightmare, but I'm almost there. Right now my project is to get a 32x64 RGB matrix working using an adafruit hat. I got Armbian 22.02.1 Focal running on it, and I'm using the gpiod library. I've had to write my own access library, but I've almost got it working, translating the pin labels ("7J1 Header Pin15") to the appropriate GPIO/offset values for use with gpiod. Except for exactly one. I try to use request_line on GPIO 22 (chip 0, offset 10) and it gives me an invalid argument. Doesn't do t…

I have been trying to get a 7" waveshare touchscreen to work with the orange pi zero2. I've checked that the touchscreen isn't faulty by using with a raspberry pi. I also checked that the output from the orange pi is working by using my computer monitor. It just doesn't want to output to the touchscreen (hdmi).There seems to be some thin grey horizontal lines. I do get a flicker at startup of the orange pi, but that is about it. Any idea's? I'm new to armbian, so if you have an idea, please list me some steps or point me to some documentation to help. I appreciate the help.

Hello armbian friends, I am not really a beginner but I don't find a fitting forum to ask this. Having manually upgraded the first day it was possible to Bullseye, my MOTD and armbian-release got stuck on the old version. Everything runs very very good, I have a very up-to-date kernel and love it. Any chance I can repair my broken MOTD? What did I do wrong when I changed my sources.list and armbian.list? Kind greetings
