Hi, I would like to use Orange Pi Zero for home automation server. I'm finding method to install os upgrades (and my own app upgrade too). I plan to have a lot of devices hundreds of kilometers from me, so I cannot break device over ssh or during update. For example Ubuntu snappy core using two rootfs and user can rollback to previous version: $ sudo snappy rollback ubuntu-core Rolling back ubuntu-core: (edge 141 7f068cb4fa876c -> edge 140 184ad1e863e947) Reboot to use the new ubuntu-core. $ sudo reboot $ ssh -p 8022 ubuntu@localhost $ snappy versions -a Part Tag Installed Available Fingerprint Active ubuntu-core edge 140 …

I STFW now for hours but didn't find a solution to this: When I login to my new installed OdroidXU4 image of armbian minimal it says: [ Kernel and firmware upgrades disabled: armbian-config ] # armbian-config gives: 'command not found' So I searched for a way, a hint, an instruction how to enable those 'Kernel and firmware upgrades' without having to install 'armbian-config' with no avail. How can I archive this? Thank you in advance; Gerry

I was updating packages on a host running on board "Orange PI PC", running Armbian bullseye version 22.02.1. There is only one package left: The following packages have been kept back: armbian-bsp-cli-orangepipc and if I try to run: sudo apt install armbian-bsp-cli-orangepipc I get: The following packages have unmet dependencies: armbian-bsp-cli-orangepipc-current : Depends: base-files (>= 24.5.1) but 11.1+deb11u10 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. If I look at my installation of base-files I see that that's is right. How I can fix this ?

Unfortunately I was very hasty and in connection to my goal to copy between sdcards I used Paragon disk manager to shrink my original partition. Like I mentioned... bad move. And now the partition is not bootable. Paragon wrote that I need to "reinit boot loader" , but I can not find any information how to do it. I can not believe it can be complicated... and again I have no idea what to do? Any help.... /R

I have recently installed armbian on odroid c2. -The burning the armbian image using etcher.io was surprisingly easy and agreeable -gui bringup with a default desktop was agreeable too. ovo.fyi/lorem-ipsumovo.fyi/emp-mailovo.fyi/10-minute-mail -the kernel version is more recent 4.14+ -the support for mali gpu seemed to announced on this version BUT the responsiveness from the web browser, the responsiveness from the media players was choppy. When I installed the archlinux again: -followed the archlinuxarm.org wiki steps for odroid c2. Sure it wasn't like etcher two step download and burn, but the number of steps was reasonable, under twenty roughl…

I'm currently designing a PCB which will use a nanopi duo board. Unfortunately it is not in stock at the moment so I can't order one yet to verify some measurements. Can someone (@guidol or @larry bank maybe?) who has one sitting on their desk please give me the following info; - Distance between headers. Total width is 1" so I guessed 0.9"... Is this correct? - length of the pin headers. So I know how high it will sit on the PCB - total height of the pins + PCB - is there anything on the bottom PCB which is higher than the plastic on the pin headers? In other words; can I push the whole module all the way down to a PCB and then only have …

Hi, I'm having some trouble with my OrangePi Zero with Armbian running with Armbien. I'm trying to setup a proxy with the IP address and port without any success...

Hi everyone, I'm using the RTL8189FS WiFi module and noticed that the driver included in the current Armbian GitHub repository (https://github.com/armbian) seems to be quite outdated. I'd like to ask: - What is the current version of the RTL8189FS driver? - Is there a newer version available? Thanks in advance!

I recently reinstall my Tinkerboard with Focal Desktop to start over. I installed xrdp in armbian-config, and RDPed in, there was no wallpaper, no desktop icon, no mouse icon and windows I opened looks weird (but xfce taskbar shows up) I came to the conclusion that it has something to do with auto login, so a quick google leads me to this instruction, I commented the line in "/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/22-armbian-autologin.conf" out, reboot, and the RDP environment works great. Except now there is lightdm-gtk-greeter process in the background that is taking 100% CPU usage in full clock speed, the board became hot (>70 degree Celsius) very quickly. …

I am new to this scene and I was just wondering what the difference is between Sid and Kinetic...

How can I Flash OS into eMMC memory ? I am using armbina-config tool but it shows only one option "Install/Update the bootloader on SD/eMMC"

I did my first install yesterday on a ODROID C4 with the Focal/Xfce Desktop image running the 5.10.27 kernel (Armbian_21.02.4_Odroidc4_focal_current_5.10.27_xfce_desktop.img). I installed it on an eMMC card which I had tested using f3read and f3write earlier (those tests worked). I reset the root password and added a user with sudo privileges. I also did an apt-get update/upgrade and installed openvpn (the openVPN service that I use seemed to be working as with my laptops). I didn't tinker much more and shut Armbian down. I was very pleased with Armbian (and much preferred it to the stock Ubuntu Mate). I was (and still am) looking to u…

Ok this sound soooo noob. I have long experience in linux and android development but this is my very first time with SBC, so please be patient I just received my new Orange PI PC plus! I want to install some stable and constantly developed distro for a headless server and I chose Armbian. On http://docs.armbian.com/Release_Changelog/i read that 5.15 bring important update like fixed board auto detection and fixed eMMC install script). BUT I can only find 5.14 on armbian site! So...without compiling it by myself (i want to gather more experience before build it myself), how can i get the latest version? I think I could do something like: 1) instal…

Hello, Now I got 3 different sata -> USB Brigdes but none of them are recognized by any of the USB Ports. I was just wondering which sata is build onto a orangepi 2 plus so that it works. Is it even connected internally via USB? Anything is helpful, since I would like to install mediavault and it does not really make sense. :-> all the best

So I just got my Orange Pi Prime board today and I tried the Ubuntu Bionic desktop image on it. (Armbian 20.02.3 Bionic current 5.4.18 desktop) Things didn't go like I expected... When I got into the desktop, all I saw was a missing taskbar, a white background (instead of a grey one) with a penguin on it. However, all the items on the taskbar worked normally. I thought that wasn't much until I tried to open Chromium, the whole window was white and I couldn't interact with it. I couldn't open the terminal either (clicking on its entry in the menu didn't launch it) I was shocked as I thought something was wrong with my board. So I told myself …

I have installed latest armbian desktop version. When I try to preview webglsamples.org, it seam that no hardware acceleration is enabled, webgl. Is there possibilty to install webgl support ?

Hi, I'm testing a clone of Waveshare 3.5" (A) TFT with the mainline kernel and I've trouble with colors With legacy kernel works very well until SPI driver hangs (see https://github.com/notro/fbtft/issues/413 for reference) due to a bug So I've decided to test it with the new kernel The TFT is attached on SPI1 and I'm able to correctly load fbtft_device (with ILI9486) and I'm able to start xorg, executing SDL & GLX application But all the colors are wrong.

Hi, I use Armbian on an SBC as an airgapped device with no connection to the internet. Each time I use the device I want to set the correct date and time, I can't work out I do this manually. Any help greatfully received.

Here is another unsolved problem for me: I can only get my USB Stick to work if i plug it to to the onboard USB. If i use an USB-Hub ( tried different ones) it is not possible. There is no message coming up with tail -f /var/log/messages. If i try to mount: mount: /dev/sdb1 is not a valid block device I need more than two USB devices, so a USB Hub is important for me. I tried active and passive Hubs and off course different USB-Sticks. What can i do to solve this problem?

Orange Pi PC+ I have been using an image generated in 2019 (based on Debian 9) to develop code for a project. On the development machine it works well. I moved it to a machine running a custom Armbian build (simply having removed drivers that weren't necessary - sound etc. - and requiring that u-boot not search USB devices before starting the kernel) that was based on the same version (reported as Debian 9). It worked as expected. No probalme there then. Yesterday I rebuilt the Armbian image (now based on Debian 9.12), loaded it on to the client machine and went to run the software. I now get the error; "Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-version.c: 224: …

Hello- I'm looking to marry free and open (as possible) software and hardware into one inexpensive system. I'm in over my head so apologies in advance if I'm asking silly stuff. I did check the basics on here and have been lurking. At any rate I've been messing around with the Lime 2 and haven't had much luck getting Parabola to boot into LXDE... or any GUI at all actually. I thought I'd try Armbian as the Debian Kernel has been blob-less for a while now. I really, really like it so far. I am using Mainline, just want to make sure I'm running all free software if possible. I have checked for non-free stuff via: dpkg-query -W -f='$…

Hello dear Armbian Community, I've been trying to get a custom M.2 PCIe Adapter Board, based on the ASMedia ASM1182e PCIe Packet Switch, to work for a couple of days on my NanoPi M4V2. After solving a few other issues, where it didn't even finish pci link training, it's finally being sort-of-recognized by the SBC (Atleast PCI ID [1b21:1182] is being read). But now, whenever the Adapter is plugged into the SBC, it doesn't boot and aborts with a kernel panic. I've read about this issue already in other forums and it seems to be a common problem with the PCIe Implementation on the RK3399. Usually, one just implements a delay between pci link training and scanning…

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 all. For gaming on the Raspberry Pi 4 there is nothing better(opinion) than TwisterOS. It is Raspberry Pi OS with a lot preinstalled tools for gaming. Also very nice skins to make your OS look like old Windows versions, or even MacOS. You can play old Windows games with it thanks to Box86 + wine which is preinstalled and configured. Also native x86 Linux games run amazingly well with it. There is a Steam client preinstalled. Is must say I've never used it, since I've never used/liked Steam. You can download TwisterOS here : https://twisteros.com The official TwisterOS reviewer on Youtube is @Salvador Liébana and his colleague from Pi Labs : https:/…

It's finally happened to me. :-( Compiled Kernel 5.15.28 using the Armbian Build Framework. The two commands issued to update the SBC's kernel were: sudo dpkg -i linux-dtb-current-sunxi_22.05.0-trunk_armhf.deb sudo dpkg -i linux-image-current-sunxi_22.05.0-trunk_armhf.deb Rebooted the SBC and now it's stuck. Serial console shows the output quoted below and then goes no further. I have a Windows 10 system with Paragon Software's Linux File System for Windows driver so I can access the SD card and alter its contents. I updated the Kernel as has a suspected issue which may have turned out not to be the case. The qu…

Hi. I'm using CubieTruck with Armbian Jessie, attached with a Sata disk. I have tried these method to run hdparm when the system reboots, but none of them was successful. /etc/hdparm.conf /etc/udev/rules.d/50-hdparm.rules /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/hdparm_set Finally, I chose the /etc/rc.local file, and add the hdparm command. hdparm -B 127 -S 242 /dev/sda However, it is not working always. I rebooted several times, and check the APM status with 'hdparm -B /dev/sda', the results vary. Sometimes it shows APM_level = not supported, but some other times APM_level = 127, as I specified. I don't know what was wrong about the command. ** I've found out that hddtemp(…

Is it possible to install armbian using dd? I see the instructions say to use USBImager is recommended. However, my situation is that the computer I am using is an ARM64 running Linux, and it appears there is not a binary download of USBImager available for ARM64-linux. I could compile my own copy of USBImager, but it seems like it might be simpler to use dd. Or--is there an alternative to USBImager that I could install on my ARM64-linux (debian), preferably using the package manager?

Hi guys, I have a BPI-M3, and wanted to roll my own build, given the current dissatisfaction with the builds provided by Sinovoip themselves. In any case, I have tested this locally, and it builds a bootable sd card, which works on UART only. It doesn't have working ethernet or WiFi, but at least you can interact with it over UART. Please feel free to review and comment on the script, and let me know if there are any issues running in your environment (ie, prerequisites that I have already, and make an invalid assumption that it is present). As per the comment inside the script, it will wipe the sdcard specified, and repartition with one partition whic…

Hi Folks, In my continuing adventures in Armbian (coming from RHEL/Fedora professionally), I've discovered that Jessie uses very old packages for various things I'd like to use to get closer to a Fedora-like experience. For example, I'd really like to use https://packages.debian.org/testing/net/firewalld. Any advice you could give on how to use some testing packages on Armbian? I thought ensuring 'backports' was listed in my /etc/apt/sources.list file would do it but alas no dice. I've tried the following command based upon this Debian wiki page: https://wiki.debian.org/Backports#Installing_backports_on_the_command_line # aptitude -t jessie-backports insta…

Hi! I'm testing some orange pi device for use it on my projects as a substitute for raspberrypi. I need a device with OS installed on emmc. I have not had good experiences with microsd on raspberrypi due to data corruption. I thought that orangepi device with emmc flash was a good option. However I'm realizing that it is not as compatible as I thought. Make the spi display and spi smart reader work I think that's crazy. For this reason I ask you the following: Whitch device is most compatible with raspberry pi at gpios level? If had emmc or something more robust then microsd it would be better. thanks in advence

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

Hi there. More than a year ago i started a project on this CPU and mainly succeeded with Nanopc-T4 board, old Armbian (5.95/4.4.179) and a custom DTB. The hardware project included the SBC and a Chinese TFT dashboard-style display panel (thus - MIPI/DSI, as I could not find the same for LVDS). Mainly using the poke-and-peek method I collected the way to mod the DTS so the DSI port is active, and the display worked like a charm. Mostly I pasted the DSI part from OrangePi DTS. I must admit that that turned out to be pure luck. Because once I moved (after big pause) to the SOM and self-designed carrier board (identical in USB, SSD, MMC, video section to Friend…

Hello guys! I find it very convinient to see the temperature of the NVME drive installed while being logged on via SSH. How can I add the temperature of the drive right under the temperature of the cpu? I added a line: "echo -e "NVMe Drive Temperature: \033[32m$(sudo nvme smart-log /dev/nvme0n1 | grep temperature | sed 's/.*: //;s/ C//')°C\033[0m"" to the file /etc/update-motd.d/10-armbian-header What is the best way to do it?

I actually did a search on the forum for these and found nothing, so now I'm asking for the help. Of coarse it could be I didn't know what I was looking at or understood it. I'm running a Cubie 2 with the desktop Armdian 1. Unable to copy and paste from or to termal 2. unable to add user (I did install lightdm) or go to a login screen 3. Unable to get the audio to go to the HDMI port so it will play thru the TV/Monitor 4 No package manager, is it possible to install one? I tried an apt-get install synaptic and got no where. 5. Unable to install ElectricSheep or the Xscreensaver (got partway in installing xsreensaver) Thanks Dave C

Hi, I am new to this forum, and I am looking for a way to setup my OrangePi Zero 3 with headless without monitor. I read through this link, but it requires LAN access.

Hello, I'm new to Armbian. I've recently tried Olimex's image for a13 (https://github.com/OLIMEX/build). I saw (and read) on armbian's guide that there's the possibility to customize images build. I need to add two specific drivers (smsc95xx for my eth interface and uvcvideo for my webcam) to kernel. I can find their sources in build\cache\sources\linux-mainline\linux-5.0.y\drivers, but they are not listed in various "modules.order" files (ok, so that's why my devices doesn't get loaded). If I want to add these modules to kernel the only way is to create a patch for "modules.order" in userpatches\kernel (if it's the right directory), or there's a …

I'm working with an Orange Pi Zero board powered by OpenWRT with U-Boot (2018.11) and kernel (4.14.93). I'm trying to implement a recovery mode by inspecting a state of some button during an u-boot phase. This button is connected to a PL4 GPIO line. When Linux gets loaded it's possible to read a state of this GPIO line, but during an u-boot phase result is the same ( 0 ) regardless of a real state of the button (`gpio input pl4`). As I got from H2+ datasheet, L port is a dedicated port (bank) with all GPIO lines disabled by default, when I try to change value of a configuration register for this port nothing changes - I read it and see that it's the same.…

I am trying to set up a WiFi access point on Hummingboard 2 which has Armbian Bionic. I am having trouble setting up WiFi AP on the HummingBoard 2.

Hi, I'm new to Armbian and this is my first time ever compiling any Linux system. I'm sorry to bother you with such a basic question, but I just don't understand. I want to enable a kernel module. Upon browsing the kernel configuration utility menus, I don't see this functionality anywhere. But if I run search with '/', I find this, this is the module I want: How do I now proceed to enable it? Or make sure that it's enabled (if present by default)? Also, what's the meaning of =y and =m? It's listed in the resulting .config file as =y, just as the search shows.

Just started my new odroid HC2 with armbian (Armbian_21.08.1_Odroidxu4_buster_current_5.4.142). However, I could not log in via ssh. I got the message kex_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer Connection reset by 192.168.0.89 port 22 The reason was, that in /etc/sshd_config PubkeyAuthentication was enabled. After commenting out I was able to login via ssh. I think this should be corrected as it makes no sense. Or at least the documentation should be changed (it says you can do your first login via ssh).

Hi, When I format my hard drive and I want to make partitions, just / for the system and Swap partition, Gparted only allows me to make one, saying I only can make one primary partition, so I make one for / (in this step extended and logical options are disabled) Then I want to use the free space for swap and all options are disabled, not even logical or extended partition options. and from the beginning I only can chose logical partition because extended is disabled. So it looks Gparted only allows me to use the entire disk as logical partition. If I use another app in windows to make those partitions then in linux Gparted says there is one error and it can't …

There is a recent Etcher.io bug in Linux https://github.com/resin-io/etcher/issues/1955 causing errors writing images.

I'm trying to access GPIO through python using the following library: https://github.com/duxingkei33/orangepi_PC_gpio_pyH3 Online guides say that for OPi One this should be a plug and play solution.

Any way to remove the 10.4.5.98? ifconfig from terminal only shows the .98 address.

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?

Version `25.8.2` of kernel, dtb and/or header package on Armbian Ubuntu Noble break `zfs-dkms` (I'm pretty sure kernel module `zfs` was not built with success) I had to run: ```sh sudo apt install linux-image-current-meson64=25.8.1 linux-headers-current-meson64=25.8.1 linux-dtb-current-meson64=25.8.1 && sudo dpkg-reconfigure zfs-dkms ``` I couldn't look in to the problem, because I was busy doing something else when I was just upgrading every package on the system. I had to prioritize quickly fixing it before another user arrives so I just reverted the suspicious packages (the three I mentioned in the title) I can't lo…

Hi there, First of all, have a nice christmas. Especially you Igor, im still amazed by what armbian is. I'd like to ask a question regarding a problem i'm having.

I left the rock on over night and discovered this morning that i couldn' t connect over SSH and vnc/rdp anymore. Since i couldn't connect and the rock was headless i pulled the power an forced a reboot. After the reboot i could connect to ssh but not over rdp or vnc.

Hello dear developers and visitors to the forum. I have compiled my core for the opi3 board, but I do not know what to do to test my core. There is little information on the u-boot bootloader and I can’t configure it on my kernel, if I replace the vmlinuz-5.4.7-sunxi64 file, the board does not start, u-boot reports that there is no kernel image. I turn to professionals, please teach me how to work with U-Boot.

Explain it on your fingers, or I do not understand. How can I make my python script run when I turn on my NanoPI, without logging in, without entering a login, password?

Hi forum, I want to try out KVM virtualization since I found out that Odroid HC-1 (=Odroid XU4) does in fact support hardware virtualization and should therefore have a good performance. (Is this true, has someone already done this and can confirm?) In the past I have worked with other virtualization software but this would be my first time to use kvm. Not long ago I started a server projet which works very very well and serves all my needs. The little board is so efficient indeed that I got more than 1GB of unused RAM and also a lot of unused performance. Therefore I wondered whether I could safely use the board to virtualize an enviro…

If this is the wrong place to ask, please feel free to redirect me to another location. I'm thinking about using an SBC to create an application-specific coprocessor. A laptop would stream h.264/h.265 2kx2.5k yuv420p compressed video thru USB to the SBC (functioning as a USB gadget with separate power supply) and the SBC would decompress the video frames, apply a sequence of affine transforms to each (decompressed) image, and stream the warped, decompressed images back to the host. This would use the SBC hardware-assisted VPU decompression and GPU for warp processing, and the Arm CPU side would manage the YUV420p-RGB conversion and buffered super-speed USB t…

Hi Armbian Community, I am trying to get the Coral/Google NPU (M.2 PCIe key) to work with the NanoPC-T4. Without success. I built Armbian with linux headers (5.4.48) and was able to apt install the gasket-dkms package. (The EdgeTPU requires Google's Gasket and Apex drivers to be built as modules with DKMS, and thus requires the linux headers to be installed at /usr/src). Also, there was no conflicting Gasket or Apex module in the Armbian release prior to install (an issue found by other EdgeTPU systems on other distros). My problem, I believe, has to do with the NanoPC-T4's PCIe. I have tried many different kernels (FriendlyElec's Core/Des…
