NFS and ZFS storage management. SSH user access tweaks. Sy…

Hi, I have found a RaspAP-webgui very useful if for example the device is deployed to an end user. Mostly is needed to set etherenet address DHCP or static. Rpi can work as access point and wireless client at the same time. This can be used for example to connect to the internet and sync RTC clock, or remote access through VPN - if for example one uses his phone to establish a hotspot. Now , I believe that armbian-config is also a powerful tool for configuration, but not helpful for end user who can be a noob. A web based GUI that could be used to configure network resources only would be appreciated. Just network, not all the delicate stuff as …

Can we remove the downloading of Linaro and other build dependencies from the build process? That would save so much time and bandwidth. Most of us are able to obtain and install the Linaro and other dependencies for our build systems on our own. Let's figure out how to avoid doing this on each and every clean build of Armbian. I have lots of bandwidth and the build doesn't even start after it takes ten to twenty minutes downloading these packages. Thanks, and I appreciate any comments on this request.

Hello, there has been a linux kernel issue in the pci part. The symptoms are Armbian kernel panics. This has already been discussed in the armbian forum: A patch has been supplied by @Pali and Marek Behún in the drivers/pci/quirks.c file. Thank you guys very much for that! Bug report can be found here:https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212695 And patch can be found here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20210317115924.31885-1-kabel@kernel.org/ This is the actual patch content: --- drivers/pci/quirks.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/pci/quirks.c b/drivers/pci/quirks.c inde…

Can we stop building modules for hardware that doesn't exist on the target device? My observation is that we seem to be building the entire kernel tree, but correct me if I'm wrong. Let's see if we can only build hardware that actually exists on the device instead of building everything. For example, my Pine64 doesn't even have WiFi but dozens of WiFi drivers are built. Same with my Orange Pi 3 LTS, it has BlueTooth and WiFi, but doesn't need the several dozen other BlueTooth and WiFi devices built into its kernel modules directory. Thanks!

Hi guys! I asked a lot of devs about this feature and no one had the knowledge about this topic. I know it's something clearly missing on the kernel (display driver?). It's only available on very few boards right now, only RPI3 have it, not even RPI4 (but it's on developement or at least, heavily requested). you may know I am testing panfrost against tons of x86 games and bc we use hardware acceleretion, that capability is crucial to get enough gamma to actually play many games (unreal tournament, deus ex,etc). Ayufan told me I should ask on kodi team but I don't know who and they are hard to reach. I know you don't have the time to even …

Hello all, I just wanted to ask is there any consideration to support Radxa Rock (Standard/Pro) in any form. It is/was a Rk3188 based board with 2GB RAM and 8GB of flash. I'm using it as a VPN server with Debian 8 and it proved very reliable in all departments over the years. It was quite powerful for its time and I think it could prove to be very useful since it can be left to run without any active cooling or anything. I'm putting it here for consideration since I guess supporting RK3188 won't create any substantial workload, and it can do a lot even for today's standards. I have two of the devices and can use one of them for testing if required.…

Could you please add support for Olimex RK3328 SOM (https://www.olimex.com/Products/SOM/RK3328/), in a minimal and base version of the bullseye release? Thanks

Too many years ago I had Armbian whis was based on Debian Jessie with MySql. And there I've created database with three tables ENGINE = InnoDB. When I download and rolled Armbian on Debian Buster based I note that MariaDb instead Mysql is on it. Now using MariaDb I can not make dump of my database. I found out here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19926802/mariadb-crash-table-doesnt-exist-in-engine-cant-recover-tables that I can make dump with Mysql only

Hello, The video from the "BalCCon2K17 conference presentation", seen here, is getting kind of old now. I really enjoyed it (thanks @Igor) , however, could a newer video please be made, and posted there instead (or in addition to the old one, maybe above it)? I'd like to hear how Armbian has progressed in the last 2 years, since that last video was made. Perhaps questions like the following could be addressed? What are the best, fastest new boards since that time, which have earned a status of "Supported"? For example, which boards have very stable SATA, M.2/NVMe ports/slots which are great for potentially making a NAS o…

By defaul armbian should be light so I think it should use LXDE , runit and no pulseaudio

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I used the contact form twice back in august and september and haven't received any reply The mirror list on the github page is not updated either Anyway, as a raspberry pi lover, I've set up a mirror to support the development of armbian: http://repo.jing.rocks/armbian-apt https://repo.jing.rocks/armbian-apt rsync://repo.jing.rocks/armbian-apt http://repo.jing.rocks/armbian-dl https://repo.jing.rocks/armbian-dl rsync://repo.jing.rocks/armbian-dl sync frequency: every 4 hrs upstream: rsync://rsync.armbian.com/{apt,dl} armbian-archive …

Not sure if this is the best topic to post this under. It might be cool to get support going for the STM32MP1. I would certainly be willing to put some work into this. I have a lot of experience with Armbian and the A20. Whats a good place to start?

Hi all I have been using https://github.com/billw2/rpi-clone to clone sd cards as it uses rsync. It's much quicker than imaging and will clone larger cards to smaller if there is space. The thing is it expects a raspberrypi and so doesn't update the UUID in the armbianEnv.txt and fstab. If I manually do this then the clone is bookable and works fine. I cant script (yet), so if anyone could take a look at the script on git and suggest how this could be changed to work with armbian also i would be really grateful.

It can be useful to have a system that is able to use the usb devices right from the first login, on a desktop configuration. Adding the support of U2F usb security keys is straight forward on a system running udev already, it's just a text file. I do not know how much it can be useful on server and headless installations, but again the udev rules file if tiny. 70-u2f.rules

Hi, can somebodey please make armbian for Asus Thinker board 2 / 2s. I would be very thankfull.

Sorry, I was unsure which category to post this under, feel free to move it if there is a better place. I enabled "multi factor authentication" for my forum account (ie. "the code thingy that changes with time"), but the window to ask for the code doesn't show up with Firefox (this is the latest version of Firefox 115.0.3 (64-bit) on MacOS). It does with with Safari though.

hi everybody... are you planning to migrate the IO scheduler to the NPU? in most cases, it is not involved on the devices that your operating system serves. This would give space for new perspectives.

Will an Ubuntu minimal Armbian image based on 26.10 "Stonking Stingray" be available? For my project, an every-six-month release is a better fit than every two years or grabbing packages from "sid".

Currently we can not use http only protocol to access all armbian packages . There is a http => https redirection . This redirection prevent the usage of squid-proxy to optimize bandwidth . I understand in other side the usage of https , the need of privacy/trust . Can you propose a http-only alternative ? Multiple solutions are possible : no redirection , but you can still promote https urls a second url that will be provide a http only access to repository because we can change the user-agent for apt via this parameter Acquire::http::User-Agent a rule based on user-agent that prevent …

Hi everyone, I am working on a project to use the Orange Pi Zero 2W as a USB UVC (Webcam) gadget via ConfigFS. I am currently using a newer image with Kernel 6.12/6.1, but I am facing critical issues. Specifically, I am getting 'Permission Denied' errors when trying to write to resolution parameters (like hHeight/wHeight), and even after bypassing that, I encounter 'Device or resource busy' errors when binding the UDC. Based on my research, these UVC functions were much more stable on the Legacy 5.10 kernel. However, I cannot find any official Debian Bullseye/Bookworm images for the Zero 2W that still use the 5.10 kernel, as most archives have been updated …

On my odroid hc2 with armbian/bullseye I found some of the logs (both in /var/log and /var/log.hdd) empty, while they should have some contens (i.e. afpd.log, kern.log, user.log, ...). The empty files all have the timestamp of a run of armbian-ramlog at a recent reboot. In armbian-ramlog.log I found this for the run that created the empty files: rsync: [receiver] write failed on "/var/log/journal/0d4b1c13b9a14b6d9c746402b7d7ef6f/user-1000@0005d37f46f9961b-23c015a66b68d086.journal~": No space left on device (28) rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at receiver.c(378) [receiver=3.2.3] rsync: [sender] write error: Broken pipe (32) Seems tha…

Particularly, the linux.config file is expected, better to enable kernel 6.0 ? Cheers

WHEN will I be able to take a course here, or series of courses here, and become a Certified Armbian Technician or Certified Armbian Engineer? May sound odd, but seriously consider the ramifications ...

There is a armbian release for odroid n2+ but my request is for working release. Means working also onboard uart. At this moment no chance to get working uart which is on the odroid board.

Hi. I am trying to control an i2c device at the u-boot stage. i2c 0 bus is activated through /boot/armbianEnv.txt file After settings some i2c commands at /boot/boot.cmd i checked the i2c sdk and sda pins via an oscilloscope. But neither output a signal. i2c dev 0 i2c mw 0x3c 0x00 0xae I included above commands and tested. Can I know how to activate or use i2c at u-boot level? image: ARMBIAN 5.75 stable Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS 4.19.38-sunxi

it was originally named armbian, because the framework was providing images for arm, but now we do riscv and even amd64 so i propose a rename.

Hi, I am running Armbian Bionic on a banana pi pro and want to use it as a 1-wire busmaster for some temperature and humidity sensors, that are connected to the 1-wire-bus via a attiny84a microcontroller, that simulates an DS2438. I added into /boot/armbianEnv.txt the following code: overlays=w1-gpio param_w1_pin=PI3 Now my sensor is recognized, but the system cannot initiate it, because the respective kernel module is not part of the kernel used in Armbian: dmesg | grep w1: [ 8.708726] w1_master_driver w1_bus_master1: Attaching one wire slave 26.03000084e1bb crc bc [ 8.771631] w1_master_driver w1_bus_master1: Family 26 for 26…

The reason MX Linux performed so well is, because, it uses some core components from Antix Linux Distro, which is optimised. based on Debian's "stable" branch. MX Linux is a cooperative venture between the antiX and former MEPIS communities, using the best tools and talents from each distro. It is a midweight OS designed to combine an elegant and efficient desktop with simple configuration, high stability, solid performance and medium-sized footprint.

Hello Armbian Team, i have the wish for the integration of - GPIO Support for RockPi 5b to the Edge Kerne - dtb's which are aviable for Kernel 5.10.160 mostly importend for me are the UARTS ( if tryed to compile the DTS files form 5.10.160 for the 6.8.2 .. ends after sending some to the UART with a Kernel segfault 😞 ) Thanks a lot for the good Work 🙂 René

USB-C not working on NanoPC T4 with buster server 5.8y. USB-C port just delivers power but no communication at all. On debian stretch USB-C is working (tested aigain, HW is OK). Can someone provide a list with what kernel/image is what not working. I like to use the device for OMV. I guess someone has a list of known/reported issues? I don't like to test image by image to slowly identify surprise by surprise for each image/kernel. I like to use the device for OMV including dockers.

Right - we're all pretty sick of systemd controversy, and no intent to rehash that all here again with mostly marketed fanboy-ism on either side. Without trying to be a geezer that want's to go back to the old days, I think that at least offering an interesting choice for Armbian using Devuan and the classic style of init might be worthwhile. An interesting perspective might be seen from our BSD brethren, who of course don't take to systemd lightly, yet still see things interesting they may want to incorporate: Benno Rice provides an interesting talk about it. Hey, let's not start yet another fanboy war abou…

Hello, I would like to propose a change to the default kernel config for the Odroid XU4. This could *possibliy* done across all kernels: config-4.14.111-odroidxu4: CONFIG_USB_HID=m # CONFIG_HID_PID is not set CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y Basically it enables the USB_HID as a module instead of being compiled in and then enables the USB_HIDDEV which in my case the APCUPSD needs the option in order to communicate with the APC UPS device. From what I have read others have run into this problem and this would fix it. Does not seem there would be impact on anything else. Is it worth while making a pull request for this for the XU4 and/or others?

Hi, Could you add the keyboard layout configuration as the first operation in the first startup, before creating the password. That would be realy helpful. Regards.

Hello, I would like to propose a change to the default kernel config for the r4s. Currently in .config # # USB HID support # CONFIG_USB_HID=y CONFIG_HID_PID=y CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y This should be altered to CONFIG_USB_HID=m This change has been requested previously for other boards: here and is also explained properly. To summarise : the change would allow those using APCUPSD to communicate with their APC UPS device. TiA!

Once people not only get some board all working, but actually deployed to solve some real-world problem, there should be a place on this forum to showcase that, including pictures, or embedded videos. Any tricks or hacks they needed to use could be listed as well, in case others want to also do the same sort of project. For example the OpenMediaVault forum already has a sub-forum like this, called "My NAS build". Maybe this new subforum could be called something like "Deployment Showcase".

I need i2s audio output on the Odroid C2. Have the required kernel modules snd-soc-pcm5102 and snd-soc-odroid-dac made it into any Armbian C2 images?

The penguin on the desktop background is nice, but maybe a bit too generic. How about a female cartoon Panda, or something like that? Panda bears are found in China, and many/most of these ARM boards were made in China. Her name would be "Armanda the Panda". On second thought, maybe the people at LattePanda might feel they are the only ones allowed to use a Panda...

Support for installing Docker, LXC, LXD or another.

I've checked a few places, and noticed that the NanoPi NEO2 has had an upgrade to its CPU voltage regulator that does not seem to be reflected anywhere; the sunxi-linux wiki still reports that the regulator can provide only 1.1V, and I see no evidence of a regulator for the CPU in the device tree in the master mainline kernel branch. On the NEO2 V1.1, the CPU voltage regulator has been updated to provide GPIO-based voltage regulation, giving a selection of 1.1V (the same as the original board) or 1.3V (this setting is new). I'm quite new to kernel/device tree modifications, so I was wondering if anyone else was aware of this, and, if nobody is willing to incor…

May i ask about support for Khadas vim3l?

Hi guys. I would like at least 2 audio inputs and two audio outputs. I have a nanopi neo3 board, it has I2C and I2S and SPI bus available. Do you know if there are some drivers for audio codec that could work with this board connecting directly the board pins (i2s bus) to codec. If yes can you tell me please which could I use, if not please can you tell me some tips to follow to build the bridge between the soc_rockchip_i2s and tlv320aic31xx (for example) or some other (codec) board available. Best regards.

Hello, I need to create images for multiple boards (rpi4b, rpi5b, rock3a, rock5b, orangepi5, orangepi-plus, nanopct6 and khadas-vim4) for a Kubernetes cluster running ceph and cilium, hence I need some new modules and parameters in the kernel. I created a simple playbook that changes the parameters in build/config/kernel/linux-* which works. What does not work is calling compile.sh with the required parameters. The task gives an error and stops after 5 minutes or so. If I run the commands from the prompt, everything is fine...but not convenient. The Ubuntu VM used for the compilation is created on a Fedora 40, with Vagrant, and I gave it 30 cores and 30GB of R…

Hi! Wouldn't be a good idea to enable the USB OTG serial console output before everything so it is possible to debug the boot without a USB-SerialTTL dongle?

Would be possible to have Armbian for the new Rock Pi X with Intel X86 processor? Thank you in advance and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

This is more of an idea or feedback than a requirement. I know you guys are struggling with community engagement and support/donations, and I plan to help myself because I love what you do and find it exciting. I work for a company in the industrial automation field and last year a small revolution picked up. At the SPS in Nürnberg/Germany (the biggest European fair in our field) last November, a ton of industrial hardware constructors unveiled their new ARM-based compact devices running Linux: essentially modified SBCs. This is really unusual because industrial automation has been traditionally more oriented toward Microsoft. But thanks to different technolog…

I bought a TP-Link AC1300 "High Gain" WiFi adapter, in order to try to get a connection between my house and my garage. I thought that the included rtl8812 driver was the right one, but it turns out the AC1300 is the "V3" version of the Archer T4U, and it requires the rtl8822 driver. Well, it turns out that the driver at https://github.com/jeremyb31/rtl8822bu works straight up. I followed tkaiser's directions here: ...but changed "8812au" to "8822bu". Commands executed cleanly. I blacklisted 88XXau and rebooted, and everything worked great. And, I got the signal I needed, so it was worth the effort. Anyway, I just thought i…

Hi, for 2 day i am searching for set a bootlogo on the screen while loading klipper but all i get is the linux text that fly by. I set bootlogo= true in armbianEnv.txt does not help i can't find any other option. There should also be Splash can find any decent information about that either So is it possible to show a logo at booting klipper, if yes is it also possible to change it to custom logo or video because it would be nicer to show a logo or video then al these linux lines And i am not a professional programmer so easy language if possible

Hello, Are there any plans to add support for this board? Thanks, Gustavo

Hello is it possible to add support for the Rockchip rk3066 boards like the Marsboard and the mk808b ?? Thanks

I got a particularly tricky display, which requires overriding the EDID on Odroid N2 (this maybe more of a feature of meson-drm ff900000) but Armbian doesn't come compiled on it with the CONFIG_DRM_LOAD_EDID_FIRMWARE kernel config option. Seems that it would be a fairly harmless thing to enable on Amlogic/Odroid and possibly on all devices.

Hello. May be it is easy or not. I don't know. Mldonkey Server has fallen from Debian repositories about one year ago. How much $help$ do you need? Thanks.

Can AVIF support be added to LibVIPS? It works fine on the amd64 version of Ubuntu 24.04, so I'm assuming Armbian needs to update the package. Current bug: Failed to process avif file version: unable to call heifsave_target heifsave: Unsupported compression It's not a HEIC image, this is how LibVIPS encodes AVIF files.

All modifications enhance the privacy of the user and make sure that the latest and best secure technologies are used.Automatic transmission of partial queries, keywords and metrics to central services is prevented and only occurs with the approval of the user.

Hi Guys, Big fan of Armbian. I've used it on an old Cubieboard2, and recently I've built a NAS with Odroid-HC2 and am using it there too. This is the first opportunity I've had trying transmission-daemon on Linux with a 'real' workload of several hundred torrents. And as it turns out good old'n'stable Transmission 2.9x has a memory leak. It uses ~45 MB on Windows, and ~45 MB on Linux with v.3.0 from testing. But v.2.94 has climbed steadily from 50 MB up to ~350 MB within several days of use. This is a known issue (https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/313) that affects and has been affecting Debian stable. Memory leaks were plugged in…

I've been noticing how troublesome that is to install the "free" gpu/vulkan packages on a distro and optimize accordingly... and on how proprietary packages are decently optimized as is. For instance, heres a video that shows someone running a switch emulator at a decent framerate on a RK3588 cpu with proprietary packages installed... while it is, well... borderline impossible to run with "free" gpu/vulkan packages. (I've tried following several guides trying to mimic the same experience as the video shows with "free" gpu/vulkan support... and I could barely make it run at a reasonable resolution. It was comically borked, to not say the least.) Even if I'm com…

Hi Everyone ! I'm trying to find an Official full guide "How to setup and control GPIO on orange Pi zero devices". I find some parts of informations about it on the net but I don't understand the full steps to do it, it is not enough clear for me. 1) Some people are using unofficial python libraries. But I can see that these libraries seem being a fork from Rpi devices and all GPIO interfaces are not tested. 2) I have found the DT Overlay Guide but it explains only how to setup GPIO (not how to use it in a batch, python or c file) https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Allwinner_overlays/ 3) Official sunxi documentation …

Hello, i am new here, an experienced back-end developer from Hungary, and my hobby is mostly doing some IOT stuff in my free-time. I'm big fun of the Armbian project a long time and checking its progress time to time cos its seems perfect for IOT usage and the NanoPi R3S was specially chosen by me for my ongoing project because of the Platinum support of the product as it seemed to be perfect fit with good enough video support to make IOT server with remote app for admin functions. Sadly as it seems the hardware acceleration is not supported i guess because there is no HDMI port on the product but with Panfrost + VirtualGL it could be a capable rem…

The device tree is as follows https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-eaidk-610.dts

Could you please add support for NanoPi R2C Plus (https://wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_R2C_Plus#Install_OS). I tried the R2S image and it failed to boot; I believe due to network hardware being different on this board (using YT8521S)

AES has some major weaknesses, keys are breakable through timing attacks (dependent on implementation) due to it's design flaws http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.140.2835&rep=rep1&type=pdf I'm not sure if hardware accelerated AES-NI is vulnerable to timing attacks. But the bottom line is that AES is very complicated and easy to screw up in the implementation such that it's vulnerable to various attacks. ChaCha20 on the other hand (XChaCha20 in newer kernels) is simple to implement, (much faster than AES when implemented purely in software) and easy to reason about. The most secure cipher available seems to be DJB's XChaCha20. XCh…

Hi, I have a friend who is blind and cannot use the standard ncurses armbian-config gui. Is there a way to switch to a simple text version, and if not what are the chances of a text version option in the near future? ?Peter

I have used the latest stable/current image for Tinker and was very pleased to see the new steps/wizard for initial setup with passwords, users, locale, wifi etc This is not the case with RockPro64 latest current images. I get even with the focal cinammon the warning about being a nightly build and old initial steps. Not as posted here posted by Igor in the Armbian Download RockPro64 page Just a note as many of us would like to see similar. If Im missing something my apologies and please point me to the right place

Hi I'm wondering if you are considering to support Orange Pi 5 support. I want to use the HDMI input to record 4k 60fps. At the moment I'm using the official orange pi image (kernel 6.1.43) and I've many issues in the kernel

Since softy has no uninstall feature, it seems to me that maybe the better way to go about it is that softy installs things as docker containers. Then removing those docker containers again would be a clean uninstall.

hi, the latest legacy kernel (3.4.113) work great when it comes to HW video decoding , but dvb (rtl2832u) crash and unusable for 4.19 it was complicated to install both mali driver and media_build is there a way to get both working beside OpenELEC ? , ubuntu or debian are ok for me thanks

Hi all, While building a custom image that needs to do some things at the end of the first bootup and reboot, I ran into some issues with armbian-firstrun.service. It currently has Type=simple, which means dependencies will be started when armbian-firstrun is *started*, and there is no clean way to wait until after it has *finished*. Looking to fix this, I noticed some other things that could be improved in this area, such as using systemd's first-boot-complete.target and ConditionFirstBoot to more simply manage first-boot-only services. I'm considering implementing some changes and submitting them in a PR, but before I do that, I'd like to get som…

I do not know if I post in the right place, but I saw that the vim cards (1,2,3L and 3) were currently not supported by armbian. Could it be soon or not? https://www.khadas.com/vim3

Would be nice to tweak the forum theme so that spoilers used code-friendly formatting

Hi, Linux 5.10 has supported hardware PRNG, SHA, MD% for all sun8i-ce (H3/R40/A64/H5/H6) boards, and supported hardware TRNG on H6. Please consider enable CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_SUN8I_CE_HASH, CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_SUN8I_CE_PRNG, CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_SUN8I_CE_TRNG for hardware offload support. Thanks.

In this topic solved the problem orange H3 with tv out. Can you add this TV-out feature to the new armbian focal release for orange pi H2+ / H3 ?

Currently lowest download speed limit is hardcoded to 500k (build/lib/functions/general/downloads.sh, line 79) --lowest-speed-limit=500K As I build my first image, I hit a lot of times this limit 🙈 Wouldn't be nice if this limit was configurable? I'm willing to try to implement it myself. Should I create an issue on Jira or GitHub or is the forum the right place to discuss it? Where would be the right place to add this parameter? userpatches/config-default.conf?

For the longest time I have struggled with Timezone for Iceland in Armbian. The initial Armbian config has Europe -> and then places in Europe, in this list then it even has exotic places like Jan Mayen and or Swalbard (I forgot which ?). But it does not have Iceland at all. I know at this point in time (at initial install you can manually enter in some time zone format also). If you go in Armbian Config after it has been installed then the Armbian Config tool only displays Cities, so at this point in time you have missed the chance to enter it in the time zone format. Iceland uses UTC / GMT0, as in same time as London h…

Pine64+ Allwinner A64 I can find Seafile Client in the Armbian Software Packages. Could be have the Seafile Server packaged as well? Nextcloud is full on corporate software. Seafile may be a suitable alternative for desktop users.

I need the mongodb package to get some software up and running. Could a recent version be added please so it can be installed with apt? Instructions like ''https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-debian/'' just drive me crazy (not working etc etc)

This was my goto distro and Im going to have to find another one because of the lack of support for eMMC going forward. Why has the 5 kernels led to the drop in support for eMMC?

moderators/admins, I'm thinking it could help to put Orange Pi Zero 3 in its own unmaintained boards sub section, it is likely there'd be more threads related to this and to move this thread and the other thread into the new orange pi zero 3 board section

Hey guys, Just wanted to ask if there is any plan on making a version of armbian for the orange pi 5 Max. I have one and am using the official image but am having problems with hardware acceleration when attempting to use it in jellyfin docker. So I thought some files might be the issue and I previously set up my system with armbian in the orange pi 5 and it worked. If you guys did or are planing to make one, please let me know.

During first boot if the wifi router is not online, the whole setup skips wifi configuration. It would have good if it keeps scanning for new wifi names everytime it fails to connect to chosen option.

Please replace CONFIG_MEDIA_SUPPORT=y with CONFIG_MEDIA_SUPPORT=m in configs to allow out of tree V4L drivers compilation and use (DVB in particular). This is probably relevant for all boards. I wrote on my experience here: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/10464-how-to-add-a-kernel-module-for-usb-dvb-t-tuner/?do=findComment&comment=79667 Regards, Max

While I know a lot of boards don't have support for PCIe the RockPro64 does. I'm using it to drive a 10gb NIC (even though it's limited by the number of available lanes to around 8Gb/s). Armbian doesn't provide any native support for 10Gb cards so I've been having to build kernels with support for the Intel and Myricom cards. Is there any possibility of including support (either as modules or built in) in the future? Thanks for the consideration, Chris

It seems like the Vendor doesnt provide stable Images soon. Does Armbian will support the La Frite board in the future ?

hello, it would be nice to have OctoPrint + Motion in armbian-config/Software/Softy In case someone does not know what I am talking about, I explain: All low-cost 3D printers are based on the opensource RepRap project, which has developed a firmware called Marlin that runs in Arduino. The problem of Arduino is that it is perfect for repetitive tasks, but it is lacking in other things, such as using the TCP-IP protocol, networks, it has very, very little memory, it does not support webcams, ect. So a project called OctoPrint was born that runs on ARM boards, and allows us to control our 3D printer, from a networked computer or from our mobile. …

please add option in armbian-config for autologin in shell with root or non root user.

Hi, Could you please: update the kernel image to include the 'lvm2' package, load the required modules at boot, upgrade armbian-install script to propose an option in the dialog menu to install the root file system on a volume group (VG) and logical volume (LV) that you will create, instead of directly on a primary disk partition? Please, at least if you are interested or not by this feature can you let a comment? Your feedback will help! Sincerely, Frederic

Hello, please move this thread to the correct place in case I misplaced it. Does the armbian image for generic Intel/AMD x86 also support PCs with the old BIOS (non-UEFI)? I ask because I have a pretty old Notebook from 2013 which still works good as general purpose Internet or Office workhorse and this only has the old BIOS. The armbian image for the Intel/AMD looks pretty nice and I would like to install it no the Notebook eventually when Windows 10 runs out. If it does not support this, is there an image for the old BIOS? Thanks! Best regards, Udo

It's a good filesystem for universal storage, but isnt enabled on Rockchip (orangepi5/ rock 5b) kernels and I need to maintain my own.

Hello, I'm setting up my Odroids with Ansible and managed to automated almost everything. I just got a HC1 and read on the download page that I should load optimized board configuration in armbian-config. Sadly, armbian-config seems to be an interactive only tool. Are there ways to automate armbian-config? The easiest way would be command line arguments. I also tried to understand what the DTB menu options actually do from the source code but was unsuccessful. My best idea now is to use expect, but that doesn't seem stable: #!/usr/bin/expect set timeout 10 spawn armbian-config sleep 5 # Enter System menu send "\n" sleep 5 # Enter …

Has anyone used the touchscreen gsl380 on armbian kernel 3.4. legacy? There are instructions?

Hi there! I've tried your image on Two Trees SK1 3d printer, it has a custom OEM of the SKIPR card. There's no HDMI so I can't see what happens. But putting an ethernet cable it doesn't get DHCP address. The card has also a wifi that I can't identify, not visible with lcpci or lsusb. I put a picture of the card and a schema.

HIi Armbianers! i found Link by Marcin Juszkiewicz and i wonder if it be able to switch from using extlinux.conf to grub-efi-arm,arm64 with custom flash-kernel package ( mayby optional)

Can no longer download older builds for nanopi r2s

Hi Moderators, I noticed in the past some requests were made already in regards to supporting i.MX platforms. This did not work out are there is no budget for such developments ($) We plan to bring an i.MX93 and i.MX95 board to the market early next year, and support for Armbian is one of my requirements Would it be possible to treat this as a paid request to get 2 boards supported by the Armbian releases? let me know where i should post this, if not in the right section

Hi. Framebuffer: Please remove hardcoded framebuffer from the kernel if possible. (Example: Attaching 800x480 TFT Display to Olimex-A20-Micro results in prompt/armbian-config being out of sight because the forced resolution is 1024x768 and seemingly cannot be changed, bootenv isn't working) Touch Interface: None are currently really usable but it would be nice if armbian would ocasionally look over to postmarkedOS project and see if those can be provided. Namely: LuneOS interface, KDE Mobile, Maemo Leste

Hello, I am a long time Debian Testing user, and would like to use the testing repo on armbian as well. Currently however, I only get the choice between stable and unstable. apt.armbian.com also seems to only house packages for stable and unstable, not for testing. I would think that when you are already supporting stable and unstable, testing wouldn't be much more than just flicking a switch to turn it on. However, I assume people here know better than me. I barely know what is in the armbian repos.

I have a rockpro64 that i use as a NAS. It recently started to behave unexpectedly and after investigating the issue i realised that the RAM has defective block. after searching for a solution (because i'd like not to waste 80$ to get a new board and my BGA soldering skill are far from whats needed to change the RAM module) there seems to be one that is called badram. It basically tell the kernel not to use a set of known bad addresses. saddly this is not a standard package but a kernel patch made for debian and ubuntu that i have no idea how to install on ARMBIAN. I was wondering if it would be interesting and possible to add this option to armbian. the wa…

Under Ubuntu when you install using BTRFS and Debian when you install to BTRFS using the Calamares live GUI installer, both installers create a subvolume called @home for the /home directory and another subvol called @ for the rest of the filesystem. This layout enables users to use timeshift to easily (and automatically with timeshift-autosnap-apt) create BTRFS snapshots and restore them using the command line or the timeshift GUI and restore their OS whilst optionally keeping users files stored under /home intact. I would like to see the armbian installation script configure BTRFS in this same manner.

Dear All, I found armbian by chance and it's the best supporting linux solution for my orangepizero3 - will later start tinkering with orangepizero2w and orangepi5plus I'd love, along with Debian and Ubuntu, to have Kali selectable as distribution option - linux kernel, dtb, headers, u-boot, overlays and armbian-config would be the perfect base for it (and every other distribution imho) Being inspired by GoVanguard/karmbian, which is based on armbian's previous framework, I tried grossly "injecting" kali support into armbian branch v24.02 - but I'm lost; definitely no developer, just playing around specifically I'm stuck with "lib/functions/gene…
