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. …

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.

Good day. I built an image for SDCARD on the rockchip3568 board using the project from here https://github.com/armbian/build This framework creates an image for SDCARD, consisting of two partitions: 1 - boot (Fat32 - 256 MiB) 2 - root file system (ext4) (all remaining capacity on SDCARD, I use a 16GiB card) I need a different, custom, file system partition. How can I make three partitions, for example of these sizes: 1. boot - 256MiB 2. root - 2GiB 3. work - the entire remaining capacity of the SDCARD while the size of the image file is not all 16GiB, but 256MiB (boot) + 2Gib (root) + 256MiB (work) = 2.5GiB and the last partition …

@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…

armbian merge android architecture armbian shared library replace android lib and android linux kernel. see image on github https://github.com/annopnod/Img/blob/master/armbian%20android_architecture.jpg

The official GitHub page for haveged says: Fedora and Arch both have a test for the kernel version in haveged.service: ConditionKernelVersion=<5.6 I put a complete example of haveged.service in this GitHub Gist for the convenience of anyone reading this post. https://gist.github.com/ambiamber/0d99cc5c8f79a72633acf39c443f5f2f I got here because on a fresh installation "systemctl status" showed "degraded" because haveged failed to start (which is correct because it shouldn't start). Upstream bug report https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=999811

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

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…

I suggest allow armbian script put deb-src without comment. For example I want to get system with deb-src packages. Of cause I can add deb-src via userpatches/customize-image.sh but it is not so easy. May be armbian add option like INSTALL_KSRC that allow user to get OS with uncommented deb-src in /etc/apt/sources.list It also helps in customize-image.sh For example: Main() { apt-get install libxcb-xinerama0-dev -y It will Error: You must put some 'deb-src' URIs in your sources.list The solution may be: ./compile.sh REPOSITORY_INSTALL=deb-src general.sh

I have a z3735 board. Unfortunately, the only system that can be installed at present is Debian Server. Is it feasible for the armbian to support IA32 UEFI

Hi, currently container build only support docker, when I run `./compile.sh docker`(docker is an alias of podman), the build will fail. When I switch back to docker, the build is ok. Can Armbian dev team consider support podman? since podman is popular nowadays. :-P

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.

Hi, Context systemd's cloud-init.target and armbian-firstrun.service will be started concurrently (both are wanted by multi-user.target). Both will try to create SSH host keys by default: - armbian-firstrun will always delete SSH host keys and then generate new ones - cloud-init.target (by default) will always delete SSH host keys and then generate new ones. Problem When one must run armbian-firstrun and cloud-init, there is no deterministic ordering between the 2 files execution and therefore no one can guarantee which will be last to setup host keys. In my current scenario, host keys are explicitly setup in clo…

Hi, It is my personal opinion that armbian should be distributed without default packages from the Debian non-free archive area. I think that the only package that is pre-installed from that area is iozone3. I wanted to stress that I believe that the armbian developers chose to pre-install iozone3 in good faith. So I don't mean to cause any undue trouble - If removing the tool is not appropriate at this time, I understand. I just wanted it out there that this is something that is 'nice to have'. Thanks, LD

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.

Is there a web page that gives the download stats? I was curious to know which board is the most popular.

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.

NanoPi K2 used to be supported but its not now and we’re looking forward to see NanoPi K2 on support list again !!! (NanoPi K2 has the same SoC as Odroid C2 and we wish we can use armbian on nanopik2 more stable) Have a nice day !!!

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.

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 …

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

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. 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.

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.

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?

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?

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.

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…

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

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.

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 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

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

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

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 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

Hello. I am trying to use MKS SKIPR board with HDMI 7" LCD (1024x600) from BTT (https://biqu.equipment/collections/lcd/products/bigtreetech-hdmi5-v1-0-hdmi7-v1-0?variant=39984058138722 ) but seems to be not supported (initial console or klipperscreen). I tried mks linux image, and 0.2.1-23.08.0-trunk (edge) Regards, Fabrizio

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?

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.

Would it be possible to include VHD versions of the Armbian for PC? I was able to convert the image file over to VHD, but it would have been nice to have it available as a download. This is for use in VirtualBox or other virtual machine (like XCP-NG for my use case). Alternate being an ISO installer, but that would probably take a bunch of work to get going.

A lot of spi-nand flashes is supported linux kernel. It will be very helpful to add a possibility to read/write/erase such flashes using standard linux support. Unfortunately spi-nand support is not enabled in armbian linux kernel. example: recovery bootloader on the router board Orange Pi 4 configuration 1. Recompile orange pi 4 linux kernel to enable spi-nand driver (linux-5.10 or above is required). Make sure spinand, mtd and nandcore are built as modules 2. sudo armbian-config, go to “System → DTC” and replace spidev with spinand 3. install the following packages: mtd-utils 4. reboot board to apply changes Connect spi-na…

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

Hi, I have a tv box (mxq pro 4k 5g with rk3228a chipset). The wifi chipset is sv6152p. The armbian image "Armbian_21.08.1_Rk322x-box_buster_legacy_4.4.194_xfce_desktop.img.xz" works on it with the wifi driver ssv6x5x. I want to use librelec on it. When i install unofficial libreelec for rk3229/rk3228 box (kernel 4.4.194) the wifi don't works. The driver for ssv6051 is loading at startup but wifi don't works. Can somebody say to me how to compile ssv6x5x for libreelec. I don't know how to cross compile it. which source do i use : https://github.com/khadas/android_hardware_wifi_icomm_drivers_ssv6xxx …

I spotted this new board coming soon https://www.crowdsupply.com/ov-tech-gmbh/pi-mx8-module More info I appreciate it's a lot of work to support new boards, but I wondered if anyone was interested in forking this https://github.com/TechNexion-customization/ubuntu-tn-imx/tree/master?tab=readme-ov-file#technexion-ubuntu-lts-image-builder and doing a Armbian build for it?

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

Please, investigate and if it has a benefit, support debcow. See also https://github.com/teknoraver/debcow and https://www.phoronix.com/news/Debcow-Debian-DEBs-CoW-FS and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copy-on-write#In_computer_storage

Hello gents, I have been out of the loop for quite some time... Therefore did not update my armbian dev env either for quite a while, was a bit "surprised" after a " git pull " most boards went to CSC, but read the story why... Anyway I was wondering rgd the "new" OP1 Rockpi4+ boards, if same image can be used for these boards ? Most likely a new entry to compile, armbian building script, will appear sooner or later. Also noticed current kernel 5.16 holds commits for 4A+ and 4B+ : Rockchip ... Add RK3399 ROCK Pi 4A+ board commit Add RK3399 ROCK Pi 4B+ board commit ... In +/- two months like to start a PoE ROCK …

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

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!!!

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

QCA6391 is supported since kernel 5.10 and QCNFA765(WCN6856) since 5.17. So please enable default build options for them. Options are ATH11K_PCI and ATH11K(ATH11K_PCI depends on ATH11K)

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.

Please add Linux Mint 21 ("Vanessa") support to armbian build script.

Hello...I successfully installed Trixie on the BBAI-64. It is a beagleboard.org board from earlier in the 2020s. https://www.beagleboard.org/blog/2025-04-18-armbian-support-is-here Anyway, I was wondering if there was some way to handle installing and configuring Wifi access to the BBAI-64 that anyone around here knew of currently. Ethernet works. I can get online. Also, there is a set up in `armbian-config` that may allow OctoPrint to be installed. It seems one needs to add support for Docker first. The Docker install from Trixie is not available on kernel 6.6.x so far. Seth P.S. Um, I understand that some people now are s…

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

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.

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

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".

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.

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…

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 …

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

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

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

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)

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…

I Wish for cameradrivers on csi port to be added in kernel or to be installable from a repo. OV5640 for H3 and H6 GC2035 for H3 and H6 OV13850 For RK3399 .... thanks, friendly regards. joel

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.

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…

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?

Hello, Well, ladies and gentlemen, I done it, becoz I can't live without it when quitting cinnamon for xfce.

I found this default setting in `/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02-armbian-periodic` for apt in my armbian image for my odroid HC2: ```APT::Periodic::Enable: "0"``` I suspect many credit-card servers just chug along with default settings for years without manual upgrades (myself included until i reinstalled a fresh image the other day). Should't that be enabled by default so people can stay up to date with security updates etc.?

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

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.
