Framework and userspace feature requests

I try find $BOOTSOURCE in armbian docs. But nothing. But I know that armbian docs use a lot of words with $! I suggest allow users to find words with $ in armbian docs.

The only thing I've had issues with on armbian, and that I often have issues with, is the default log2ram. As soon as you start doing anything that actually logs stuff, like access logs, or container logs and so on, the log space is not enough, even if allocating 500 MB RAM. And when /var/log fills up there are going to be crashes... in all kinds of ways. I have an ansible script that disables this now, but sometimes when doing dist-upgrade, log2ram settings come back (and also zram swap, which is also bad because kubernetes does not like swap, but thats not a disaster at least). So I simply propose to not make log2ram default, unless it can have some way to "…

From Armbian 20.08 onwards, I observed that htop loses its settings (e.g. show userland threads, process sort order) every boot. This is equally odd and frustrating, and until recently I had no idea what was happening to make this so. Then I discovered the cause - this script: /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/80-update-htop-and-offload-tx And indeed, on every reboot, it overwrites htoprc with some default settings. And I have tried but not succeeded to understand the intention was behind a decision to not allow users on SBCs to persistently change .htoprc any more. Can anyone add any context? Struggling to see how this makes…

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.…

Hello, I am in a project where I need to use armbian on an OrangePi R1 Plus, but I realized that it is not yet available on the site. Any prevision?

Hi All, I would like to use the new RaspberryPI Camera ( IMX477 ) with armbian (with TinkerBoard S) and I was wondering if this is on the roadmap for development? If it's not I would like to attempt to submit a pull request, but I'm not really sure on how to pull the drivers into the armbian source. I can see the driver source here https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/blob/rpi-5.4.y/drivers/media/i2c/imx477.c and the overlay source here https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/blob/rpi-5.4.y/arch/arm/boot/dts/overlays/imx477-overlay.dts but I'm not too sure how to pull them into armbian, is there any articles/ help documentation y…

I'm looking to test this ehci debug port kernel module on a sunxi board that supports USB gadget, but it turns out it's not enabled in armbian by default. While I can recompile the kernel right now, I think it's useful to enable it as a module as this driver is quite small. Thanks. https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/kernel/linux-sunxi-current.config

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.

There are a lot of the new wider monitors coming out. I have had one for several months. None of my Armbian boards support it. Some won't display at all, some default to a single lower resolution, and several will only allow to set to 1920x1080. Doesn't HDMI interrogate to discover resolutions and then match capabilities? I have no clue how HDMI actually works but it would be great if Armbian looked proportional on those monitors ;] Thanks

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.

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…

** EDIT - noise alert - already covered by F3 utility *** Is there a shell script that one could recommend for newbies that would work similarly to the H2TESTW program? And if so, should it be included in Armbian - perhaps on a first-run even throwing up a big warning to the op? Kudos to you guys for putting all that work into SD card knowledge and programming into Armbian in the first place. In fact, the good engineering of sd card preservation with Armbian is what drew me to it initially. Heck, for my use case, I may never really need an emmc. Anyway, I'm just not up on what an up to date alternative to h2testw is these …

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)

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.

Running buster on a ZeroPi but softy does not uninstall. Also home-assistant does not seem to install, followed rpi3 guide on homeassistant and got it to work in docker container; Softy reports homeassistant to be installed.

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

Hello, I would like to request that support for the PecanPi DAC (www.orchardaudio.com/pecanpi-dac) be added to Armbian. Asus recently added support as of Scetch version 2.1.11. To enable the DAC the following line is needed int the hw_intf.conf file: intf:dtoverlay=rpi-dac Thank you; Leo

Just recently got my hands on a new ODroid C4, just to find out it doesn't work with my gamepad. A quick check of the kernel config with linux-image-current-meson64 (20.11.3) suggests this: # CONFIG_INPUT_JOYDEV is not set While I'm pulling down the 5.9 sources and brushing up on cross compiling Linux kernel debians, is there any way this could get added to the Armbian baseline? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I noticed that overlayroot package is absent in armbian buster. Is it possible to add this feature to Armbian Buster? Cordially, M.B

As many boards have now kernel 5.9.x may we have support for zstd in mkinitramfs?

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 know this topic was requested many many times. but I would like to introduce more reasons about why to do so. Igor, I don't like RPI, and many of you also don't like it. but I am thinking on Armbian rather than RPI 1) supporting RPI would be a plus for people that use sd with RPI4. armbian works flawlessly on sr cards. 2) armbian need recognition and founding and supporting a mainstream SBC like RPI could bring that! 3) armbian is the best OS for ARM Linux. 4) something similar to the reason 2

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…

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 …

Hi, this is a request...kinda, more like asking for help. A frined of mine have a PBP but his nvme draw tooo much battery. can we limit the speed of the nvme to save battery life. it would be handy also for servers that doesnt requiere that much write/read speeds and prefer power consumption rather than speed. maybe someone have an hdparm tip for that. thanks!!!

If you curl -I http://apt.armbian.com over and over again, you will receive a 302 redirect to what seems to be a random mirror. I am wondering how I can help add some sophistication to that randomness. As someone downloading updates from the US, it's a big exercise of patience to download at a rate of 20-60 KBps. As each package request goes to the redirector every time (since it's not a 301 redirect), some packages download at a good rate but plenty are very slow for me. In contrast, when I download an Armbian image from bittorrent, I can get 9MBps. I know that everything here is provided for free and I am grateful! I am asking how I can help make this…

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.

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

I would love to see support for modems based on the SIM7070G chip. Along with Quectel’s BG96, SIMCom’s 70x0 and 7x00 families seem to be the leading choice when it comes to IoT-related applications with LTE-M and NB-IoT. Shenzhen-based AND Technology manufactures and offers two very affordable modems (< USD 25) using the SIM7070G: BK-SIM7070G (a break-out board with serial interface) -> AliExpress DG-SIM7070G (a USB stick/dongle) -> AliExpress Sidenote: Waveshare has a Raspberry Pi HAT based on the very same chip –> SIM7070G Cat-M/NB-IoT/GPRS HAT SIMCom as chip provider offers excellent documentation on their …

Hi, I’m using this panel: https://osoyoo.com/2019/11/12/instruction-for-raspberry-pi-7-dsi-touch-screen I've installed image: Armbian_20.08.1_Rockpi-4c_bionic_current_5.8.6_minimal.img The system does not work with the Raspberry PI Touchscreen. The OSOYOO panel works fine if connected to Raspberry PI 3B+. Any solutions?

New patches for mainline u-boot have been posted, so that espressobin should finally work now. That gives us a recent version of u-boot, compared to that old and unmaintained marvell fork. I opened a PR for OpenWRT to ship mainline u-boot/atf builds. Those also include distro boot: openwrt/openwrt#3360 And now we need testers openwrt/openwrt#3360 (comment) While this is a PR for OpenWRT, I boot vanilla debian with it. In the end the distro shouldn't matter Note: * All builds are currently CPU_800_DDR_800 only for stability reasons * There is no build for v5 with 2GiB RAM, does anyone have such a board? bu…

I am running armbian on a rock64 with a usb bluetooth adapter. Adding bluetooth devices with the blueman app is very hit-or-miss for me, mostly misses. I installed the blueberry app, which I have had good luck with in the past, and device connection has been great. Every device connects on the first try. Blueberry is easy to install because it has no arch, and it also appears to be relatively light on resources. So I would like to suggest that the devs consider including it in armbian by default.

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

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.

Would there be a way to add a configuration option to armbian-config to disable built-in button being used for shutdown? Currently I have to remove the r_gpio_keys section in the DTB and compile. Seems like something armbian-config could do?

I'm using Armbian's Ubuntu Bionic image on a Libre Computer AML-S905X-CC (LePotato). It appears the chromedirver package is not available: Package chromedriver is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'chromedriver' has no installation candidate My use case is, I need to file an online complaint with a regulatory agency. The complaint is filed via a Python script, and Python uses Selenium to operate the web browser and populate the four page form.

Hello Armbian community My HiFiBerry DAC HAT works well on my Raspberry Pi 3B with RasPiOS. However, I would like to put it on my Rock64 to use the higher Ethernet and USB speed it offers. As far as I can tell, HiFiBerry DAC is in the mainline Linux kernel - it is mentioned in the source code, but I do not understand programming, so I cannot see if it is used. Is the HiFiBerry DAC supported in Armbian's kernel? If so, how can I activate and use it? I put the HAT on the Rock64 and installed Armbian_20.05.2_Rock64_buster_current_5.4.43.img.xz , and it booted without problems, but I could not get sound out of the HiFiBerry DAC, and Alsamixer showe…

As an ansible neophyte, I'm looking through the 'ansible facts' trying to figure out how to positively identify an Armbian system, with the goal of contributing a patch to the k3s project to improve support for Armbian. Toward the end of the k3s-ansible playbook, they try to write some kernel options to a file in /boot. According to the comments, they've identified by Armbian machine as Ubuntu. At any rate, Armbian seems to want these flags in /boot/armbianEnv.txt, and the file ansible wants to modify doesn't exist so the update aborts: fatal: [t4]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Destination /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt does not exist !", "…

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

Armbian Buster for Orange Pi Zero (kernel 5.4.45) is using an old version of gpsd which doesn't yet support ubxtool Armbian Focal does not have this problem Can Armbian Buster have a newer version of gpsd and gpsd-clients to support ubxtool Thank you

Hello, I've got two questions for you folks: 1.) Why is LZO being used over LZO-RLE for /etc/default/armbian-zram-config? 2.) Are there any downsides or risks currently known from using the kernel option CONFIG_UACCESS_WITH_MEMCPY? To 1.) I've been looking at LZO-RLE, which is the improved version of the LZO algorithm, and since it was made part of the kernel a while ago was I expecting some form of kernel configuration option to enable it. It is however included by default when LZO was configured and one just needs to specify "lzo-rle" over "lzo" as algorithm for zramctl. This means one only needs to replace "lzo" with "lzo…

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'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, While there are a bunch of vnc and x11 options to access the box remotely, I found chrome remote desktop as a very useful tool to integrate access to different hosts wherever you are. chrome remote desktop 'host' runs on many platforms including, of course, debian. Installation does not work because package gets downloaded from Google directly and it is compiled for x86. The .deb package can't therefore be installed on armbian. Any chance chrome remote desktop could be compiled for armbian? I believe source code is under Chromium project but I could not find it. Ideas?

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…

@lanefu, @TonyMac32 I am looking for support of native english speakers. I just wanted to install RPi-Monitor, listed all options to find it: armbianmonitor --help and saw this : armbianmonitor -M provides simple CLI monitoring - fixed-line output armbianmonitor -N provides simple CLI network monitoring - fixed-line output So, I thought what has been repaired (fixed) ? So, I tested the two options -m & -M and I saw, -m is with history, not scrolling rather new-line feed -M is dynamically refreshing in line (static), (fix, but not fixed) In short, I think the wording is a bit bumpy. My suggestion to change wo…

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 …

Hi everyone, I am trying to get TVHeadEnd working on my Helios4 NAS, which is currently running Debian Stretch with Armbian Linux 4.19.63-mvebu. The software has installed, and I can access the web GUI on port 9981. However, I cannot see my tuner device under TV adapters. If I type dmesg into the command line, I can see the RTL2838UHIDIR device connected to USB. However there is nothing listed under /dev/dvb. I'm wondering if Armbian might be missing some of the drivers that are included with full Debian. I would appreciate any help in getting my USB TV tuner working with Armbian. Thanks.

I've noticed that the AppArmor kernel config was switched off from kernels 4.19.x onwards. I've searched the forum and the github issues but haven't found any problems related AppArmor. I'm using the current kernel for cubox (5.4.x) that I've compiled by adding AppArmor config back, everything works as it should for a headless system. Would it be possible to add the AppArmor kernel config back? I can help with testing on the following boards: cubox, olimex lime2, cubietruck

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

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

Hello, i've preordered an Helios64 and would like to install the main os on a f2fs formatted sd-card. your documentation says that this is not possible, and i would love to see this possibility. i guess most eMMC devices would also benefit

As WiringPi was never meant to support other boards nor does the author like to support other boards and it is officially depreciated now (http://wiringpi.com/wiringpi-deprecated/). I want to ask why not put some efforts into libmraa https://github.com/intel-iot-devkit/mraa and put it into the Armbian repository. I have already a fork which fixes Rock Pi 4 on recent mainline 5.3 kernels with updated debian build scripts here: https://github.com/bootsy52/mraa, so debian packages could be simple built using dpgk-buildpackage. Why I think it is a good idea to supply libmraa with the Armbian repository Supporting multiple boards is a…

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

I have just found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSCj1b6PbaQ And I would like to ask what is missing to make a similar method to work on android phones? Is it only drivers? Touch screen amd sim management does not really matter for me, usb and wifi does. I think I am not the only one who thinks, my old 64 bit phones could be excelent servers.

To run 32bit rustc you need enabled cp15 barrier emulation. (This is removed in ARMV8 arch and needed to emulated by the kernel) Please reenable like in legacy kernel 4.9: CONFIG_ARMV8_DEPRECATED=y CONFIG_SWP_EMULATION=y CONFIG_CP15_BARRIER_EMULATION=y CONFIG_SETEND_EMULATION=y

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

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?

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…

I enabled GPIO serial ports via armbianEnv.txt on my Orange pi One, good. Case for port 1 But the serial port file /dev/ttyS1 comes out with wrong permissions, so it cannot be used at first. Just needed: chmod 666 /dev/ttyS1 optional: chown root:root /dev/ttyS1 Thanks

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…

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?

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 …

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…

Hello everyone, I am looking for an answer regarding the Orange Pi PC2 Armbian OS is 32-bit or 64-bit version? Thanks in advance. Best regards, SaiHou

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. …

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

After upgrading to buster (great!!) and installing desktop on my HC1, the standard procedure of starting a VNC server and using Real VNC viewer from a Mac ran into errors. I tried the following alternative solutions to get to the desktop - xrdp and Microsoft Remote Desktop (Mac) - tigervnc-scraping-server and Real VNC Viewer (Mac) --> No support for clipboard transfer, keyboard support awful and incomplete (missing # and | and so on) x11vnc with Real VNC Viewer (Mac) solved both issues, except keyboard autorepeat. So I strongly suggest adding x11vnc prominently as an alternative to xrdp.

"Type armbianmonitor into the console - we develop this to get the best out of those board without using much resources." in the documentation, maybe add Armbian tools - armbian-config - armbianmonitor ....

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

Hi, Sorry for my poor english. I love your work. I use armbian for all my cubox(s) and I wanted to know if Cubox Pulse is supported ? I didn't see anything about it. Could you add it or tell me what is needed to do it ? Thx you for your time.

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 all, I would like to fit a Hifiberry DAC pro to my M4 - does Armbian have the drivers to support this board ? or how can they be added ( I presume to the kernel ) On a Ras Pi it's simply a matter of a dtoverlay line added to /boot/config.txt but I don't see this file in Armbian

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

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

Support for installing Docker, LXC, LXD or another.

Since these boards doesn't have I2C headers the only simple solution is to use a USB/I2C adapter, but the module to this is not compiled into the kernel.

Thanks for Armbian, I very much enjoy it on my Cubietruck server. Forgive my ignorance if I have misunderstood something, but I believe that the Lima opensource Mali drivers will shortly be part of the kernel. https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/8/1122 What is the likelihood of Armbian supporting a hardware accelerated desktop using these drivers for the cubietruck and similar boards? It's an old board and is well supported by the project as a server already, so it would be understandable if it was out of scope.

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?

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...

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.

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".

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 ...
