Framework and userspace feature requests

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…

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 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

May i ask about support for Khadas vim3l?

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.

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!!!

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 …

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 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?

Hello, I am looking for a Minimal Armbian for H3 chip with kiosk feature. I don't need desktop interface but still need a web browser to open at startup. Is there any version like this? I need it minimum because i will install on eMMC of the Orange Pi PC Plus and it has only 8GB.

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.

Sry. the existing search tags are fine 🙂 Would be nice to have a separate forum for Nanopi Duo2. T.

Would be nice to see bullseye image for NanoPi NEO 2

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…

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…

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 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

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 …

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.

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. …

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?

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?

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.

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

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 ?

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

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

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 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?

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.

NanoPi R76S is supposed to have PHC hardware timestamp support with both ethernet interfaces. Unfortunately ethtool -T returns no hardware support. Would be great if PHC could be enabled in this nice box.

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

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

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)

Please add support for the FireFly ITX-3588J. Note that the Armbian Station M3 latest UEFI image boots unmodified on an SD card on this hardware, with working picture on one of the HDMI ports. (But no USB) So the partition structure is ok. 20230428-EDK2-EFI-current/Armbian_23.04_Station-m3_sid_current_6.2.0.img.xz So it is already close to a usable image once the relevant device tree bits are swapped out. I am not 100% sure the details yet of the uboot they ship, or even how to just install the uboot part to emmc but when I flashed the complete Debian 11 "firmware" they provide on the website link to the EMMC (using the linux command line loader…

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.

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 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

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.

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

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

ksmbd is a more performant version of Samba. Located here: https://github.com/cifsd-team/cifsd and https://github.com/cifsd-team/ksmbd-tools Given that most devices supported by Armbian are underpowered, it would be great to get this installable via apt.

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

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…

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.

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, 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…

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

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 …

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?

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

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

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

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

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 Any news when it could be included in Armbian? As I see 4 years we have been waiting for it... Kindly

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.

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.

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…

Hi, I cannot exactly say why, but I never liked the 'emptyness' of the IP-Address on the SSH welcome message System load: 0.82 0.29 0.10 Up time: 1 min Memory usage: 3 % of 3867MB IP: 192.168.11.7 So I thought it needs a lot of space for a long Up time. So, the space is reasonable. Looking at the other information provided, which needs as well many letters? My suggestion to move it like this and adding: -Address (IP is not the complete term (Internet-Protocol): IP-Address: 192.168.11.7 Up time: 1 min Memory usage: 3 % of 3867MB System load: 0.82 0.29 0.10 adding 'Address' might fix …

The "create access point" utility in `armbian-config` has several bugs that prevent it from working, due to changes in the default installation since it was written: - hostapd does not install a default configuration file at `/etc/hostapd.conf` - hostapd is installed masked by default - dnsmasq fails to start because systemd-resolvd launches first as the default DNS resolver I can write patches to fix this utility, but I'm wondering if it will ultimately be worth it. I noticed this access point utility doesn't exist in the `armbian-configng` repository. Is that because Armbian is dropping this utility, or no one has gotten around to it yet? …

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?

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".

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".

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 …

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

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 …

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

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.

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…

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.…

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)

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…

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

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

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.

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 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

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

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! 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?

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.

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

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…

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…

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

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.

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.
