As far as I can tell, there is currently no hook to allow patching the out of tree wifi drivers, since they're merged into the kernel source after patching. I was able to add the ability to patch these drivers with just a one line change: Spoiler diff --git a/lib/compilation.sh b/lib/compilation.sh index 7bb90902..ddaf24a8 100644 --- a/lib/compilation.sh +++ b/lib/compilation.sh @@ -293,6 +293,8 @@ compile_kernel() # build 3rd party drivers compilation_prepare + advanced_patch "wifi" "$KERNELPATCHDIR" "$BOARD" "" "$BRANCH" "$LINUXFAMILY-$BRANCH" + # create linux-source package - with already patched source…

Some of you probably saw that I added recently the OrangePi-Prime to the build process. Unfortunately, I'm still struggling to get the WiFi. It is even worst than the WiFi issue still present on OrangePiWin. For the OrangePi-Prime, even the DT doesn't process the WiFi entries, and the mmc1 is still "disabled" in /proc/device-tree at boot time. The strange thing is that if I load a small overlay to change the mmc1 status to "okay", the kernel start processing it. But, unfortunately, I'm seeing "sunxi-mmc 1c10000.mmc: no support for card's volts" error, although I didn't found obvious errors in vqmmc-supply setting of mmc1. I will have to dig f…

Thanks for the great armbian work this community does! I am trying to use an Espressobin board as a Homeassistant host. However I am struggeling with the usbserial of the kernel.

Hi, I managed to compile a working 4.6.2 Linux kernel for my Allwinner H3 powered Orange Pi PC using the Armbian lib build scripts. But where I'm completely stuck is when it comes to get all four CPU cores up and running. lscpu shows only cpu0 as online, and a syfs entry to enable cores 1..3 does not exist. Having applied 20151223-h3-mainline-smp-hack patch, cpu1..3 seem to get set online, but the booting process stalls (rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU, etc.). http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort#Status_Matrixmarked SMP as "done", and mentioned this patch. A log file of the failed boot process is attached. My setup: Lin…

Hello, First please excuse me for being not learned enough to do it without asking stupid questions. Here is my goal: Build Armbian (debian jessie) image with some packages included into it, include some web content and scripts into image, run my own script at firstboot to configure apache/mysql etc. So everything to start working out of the box after first boot. I read a little and saw userpatches/customize-image.sh is responsible for custom configuration, but got no idea how to proceed further. For example if I want to install mariadb what should I do? apt-get install mariadb (it says this file was executed in chroot environment) …

Hello. using Armbian 5.16 opipc+ I have used ''create launcher'' from the desktop to be able to connect to wpa2 wifi. I have rebooted around 6 times and is working each time.

I tried adding them to the startup,(wishful thinking) so. each time i run them from the desktop, it launches terminal and asks for PW. because command has and requires sudo. does anybody know how i can get around this?, it would be amazing if i could have them auto run, next best would be without terminal asking for PW. no i don't know how to write scripts.

My only reason for being here is to develop a Kubernetes platform that runs on Armbian, mesh networks, and particularly the type of devices Consumers will typically have... Is anyone else already doing this? And who else here is in the web dev space? or ops? Or has a website on something like Wordpress.com or Wix, and wants to self-host it? What is your favorite open source PaaS? also proprietary like Heroku? Any AWS or GCP or Azure user? Or a Data Scientist? just wanted to get a little survey, of if this has market demand.

Greetings, everyone I decided to try armbian for my recently acquired cubox-i4pro. Unfortunately it was missing some kernel modules that I require. No problem, it is easy enough to change the kernel configuration and recompile! Debian Jessie (main system) is even listed as a working development environment, so I thought I would test the included compile script using the instructions from the github. I had recently completed some cross-compilation (for armel, not armhf), so I manually updated the dependencies and read through instructions and looked through the script before getting started. First I compiled the kernel only with the following settings: KERNEL…

Hi, every one! have any of you guys tried to perform SPI loopback tests on any of existing boards ? I mean this driver code http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/v4.13.14/source/drivers/spi/spi-loopback-test.c. I tried to find any information on how to run tests but I completely failed to make it. It would be nice if someone shares a step-by-step instruction. Thanks a lot.

Hi! I’ve been trying to build a kernel with custom settings for a couple of days now, but am facing some issues. My build setup is a virtual machine (running in VMWare Workstation Pro v15) based on the mini.iso image that's recommended in the Armbian documentation (and post here in the forums). The target is an Odroid N2+ SBC. There was no apparent issues setting up the build framework, installing git and cloning the repository. I then executed the compile.sh script and manually set the kernel configuration via the menuconfig interface that pops up. This however yielded an output image that, surprisingly enough, does not use my supplied configurati…

Hi all, I have a bit of an odd application, but given the recent effort being put into UEFI boot, I thought I'd ask for some help. I have a Gigabyte R152-P30, which is an Ampere 80 core, single socket server. Flash drive boot works just fine, but nand-sata-install onto the server's NVMe SSD has been troublesome. I've tried several permutations of having partitions and not having partitions on the NVMe drive, but none seem to actually create a bootable result. I see on the generic armbian image page that it suggests creating an EFI partition which I do (nvme0n1p1). It then proceeds to leave that partition empty. I also have another btrfs…

Hello all, I am iterating the build process, debugging some user build scripts and it would be nice to be able to avoid recompiling the kernel and generating its debs every time, in order to be able to iterate faster and make faster progress. I didn't see a way of doing this in the documentation. Any suggestions? Thanks

I received at least one PM so far that I did not know the answer to. So, rather than all of us spend a lot of effort duplicating info, I thought maybe good idea to compile these in one place. Especially as we have an influx of new Board Maintainers at the moment. I also encourage people to stop by IRC and say hello. I shall also endeavor to copy the most useful bits from IRC into this thread as they come up. Maybe later can be distilled even further into some docs page or ...? Anyway... So, first up: Q: How /what checks/tests to run? A: OK, I guess I thought armbian/autotests was more about that (long in deve…

I was hoping that while moving to ASUS Tinker Board from a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ I would still be able to use my Google Voice Kit AIY (v1), but it looks like Armbian right now supports v2 only? I tried installing everything needed, but all I got were loads of error/not found messages. May I hope to be able to use the kit by some workarounds or do I have to stick with the Raspberry in the meantime? I am not really willing to spend extra money for some USB solution and I would like to fix it so that I can learn something new.

I found it very confusing that Armbian doesn't seem to follow the Ubuntu/Debian traditional scheme for naming kernel modules: linux-image-*, linux-modules-* and linux-headers-*. I need them to cross compile out-of-tree kernel module in `schroot`. Armbian seem to have only `linux-image-edge-rockchip64` and `linux-headers-edge-rockchip64`. What's the reasoning behind such design decision? Moreover, I've noticed kernel packages incorporate all the logic that make the board bootable, instead having more generic kernel binaries and relying on `flash-kernel` tool that both Ubuntu and Debian widely use. I wonder why not? What are chances in future `linux-im…

I created a Wheezy and Jessie image. Whenever I try extracting the Jessie image, I get a CRC error. I am using 7zip. I tried extracting the zip also using Windows Explorer (Win10) and it also runs into an error. It seems like there might be an issue with the Jessie images being created. I cleaned my output folder and created a new clean image and still run into the same problem. This is using the latest libs and creating a 4.2.3 image (the default settings in the lib config). FYI, the Wheezy image extracts without any problems. Any ideas why the Jessie image is corrupt? Thanks.

Hi, I'm using banana pi m1+ with armbian legacy kernel. I'm building an application with c sharp and using mono to run in in the banana pi. My application needs to change gpio output levels multiple times while running, so I installed bcm2835 library in the banana pi to control the output level from the application. Using the library, I was able to control those as I want, but I'd noticed that there are default gpio output levels, which are different from each gpio pins. I'm using CON3-P36 and CON3-P38. Right after the boot up, CON3-P38 goes high, while CON3-P36 goes low. I want to adjust the CON3-P38 to go low in the boot up, so that both two have low output as d…

Where I can read the changelog about the last armbian release 5.27? Github shows only 5.24 https://github.com/armbian/build/releases and on the docs 5.25 https://docs.armbian.com/Release_Changelog/

Since kernel 4.18, on my rk3288 tv-box USB devices have always had problems when plugged in after the box boot (ie: USB device not working at all) I found that the problem is described and solved by this patch: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10535905/ Applying it to latest 4.18.4 kernel the functionality is restored, and I can't see similar patches in rockchip-dev. I think it should be applied to all rockchip SoCs at least until it gets merged into mainline

Hi, I have a OPi lite board and the U-boot model name shows Orange Pi One. Reason: It's patched as a "one" in u-boot-99-add-missing-boards.patch. I copied this file to the userpatches/u-boot/u-boot-dev directory and made some changes so it refered to the sun8i-h3-orangepi-lite.dts I created. (According to the user provided patches section) This didn't do the trick because it didn't override the original patch. No change and the patching log shows that the original patch is applied. So obviously I did something wrong but I have no idea what. What I would like to achive is that I can control the green led on my board. (Pin PL10, signal name PWR-LED, signal name LED1 an…

Hello, I am trying to build a new system for Orange Pi PC with kernel v.3.4 and Ubuntu xenial desktop. After getting updated sources and compilers, during u-boot compiling I get the following error message: Assembler messages: {standard input}:314: Error: push/pop do not support {reglist}^ -- `pop {r0,r1,r2,r3,r4,r9,ip,pc}^' make[2]: *** [arch/arm/cpu/armv7/sunxi/psci.o] Error 1 and compilation ends. Any suggestion?

First time armbian user and poster here. Since this is not the right time and place for an introduction, lets keep it with a simple "Hi all!" and get straight to the topic: for completeness, my system: BOARD=orangepizeroplus BOARD_NAME="Orange Pi Zero Plus" BOARDFAMILY=sun50iw2 VERSION=5.59 LINUXFAMILY=sunxi64 BRANCH=next ARCH=arm64 IMAGE_TYPE=testing BOARD_TYPE=conf INITRD_ARCH=arm64 KERNEL_IMAGE_TYPE=Image logging, in particular logrotate with ram-logging As far as I understand: - Three different cron files are responsible to handle ram-logging and logrotate -- /etc/cron.daily/logrotate -- /etc/cron.daily/armbian-ram-logging …

In recent armbian for orangepi-pc (Fossil 5.8.y) I encountered /dev/video0 and /dev/video1 I disabled both video and csi devices in dtb, but /dev/video0 and /dev/video1 did not disappear. Same happened with serial ports also. In dtb file 4 serial ports are described. Only one port is enabled, but /dev/ ttyS* contains 8 serial devices /proc/device-tree/soc/serial* directory contains exact number of serial ports as it is described in dtb. does anybody have an experience in disabling devices via device tree? Or the devices are hardcoded in the kernel?

Build today a new 5.23 jessie 3.4.112 (with rt143) for H3 (NanoPiNEO) Configured all wifi ok (8192cu) Later on, saw the indicated upgrade on 3 packages linux-headers-sun8i linux-image-sun8i tzdata First I installed the tzdata and all were still working ok. The linux-headers-sun8i linux-image-sun8i when installed made wifi (8192cu driver) to vanish. After a hint for install the armbian-firmware-full, the dongle became visible in ifconfig as wlan0 but not being able to connect anymore on any AP although previously, before the upgrade, everything was connecting and working ok. Though it might be proper to report it also here in development sect…

According to the documentation: If a previous (complete) build has successful, is it possible to start subsequent builds at the 'customize-image.sh' stage? I'd like to fine tune my post-install process, but it takes awhile to get there due to package assembly, etc. Thank you

Hi guys, I am running bananapi and cubietruck boards and these board are axp209 power management unit equipped (tech details about this unit: http://linux-sunxi.org/AXP209).One advantage of this unit is showing informations about actual voltage and current of power source because as you know we are surrounded with many bad cheap power sources and microusb cables and monitoring of these informations can help explain corrupted data on microsd cards or random reboots. It show informations about battery status and usb voltage and current as well if battery is connected. I am using axp209 enabled RPi-Monitor from link https://github.com/XavierBerger/RPi-Monitorand I am sur…

Hello everybody, I have a loftq of Mixtile at home for 2 weeks and try to install linux since that time. The Howto of Mixtile I have tried with the Mainline Kernel I get the error message pxelinux.cfg Timeout of several different files. If I use the legacy kernel I get no error handling it stops only after the message Linux kernel. I took the Armbian desktop version of Bananapi M2 and copied my * .dtb file with into the dtb folder in the directory boot. Here I get also the message startin Linux kernel but then the monitor is black. Can you help me please? Many Thanks.

I've been trying to build a nanopiduo2 firmware for the last couple of days, and I keep getting an error on the 048-humanity-icon-theme_0.6.15_all.deb. It says corrupted filesystem tarball. I don't know where to report this. Is this a packaging error in Armbian or Ubuntu? I'm trying to build the bionic firmware. Any suggestions on getting around this error would be much appreciated.

Hello, I recently learned to generate Armbian images using Docker, and I found the official documentation incomplete on this. I ended up asking in the forums, so I have compiled the info in this little blog post for other's reference https://ownyourbits.com/2017/11/30/building-armbian-images-faster-using-docker/ If there's any suggestions or improvements, please let me know. Also, if you want, I can send a PR to your documentation to clarify how to build using docker. Cheers, Nachoparker

Hello, I know that when a new LTS kernel gets released, that has very considerable impact and importance here at Armbian. Are you stoked about the upcoming 4.19 release? I know I am. No doubt many forum members have their favorite "pet" boards, and will be eager to see some currently-"experimental" features become "stable". Which of these features matter the most to you? Can you give examples of which use cases you'll be most eager to get a 4.19 kernel into? Myself, I'll be excited to see which already-Supported boards get a new Armbian Stretch or Bionic released with 4.19. This will help me get a sense which boards (and SBC makers) have the …

Hello Armbian community, I am working on adding support for a new RK3568 board to Armbian. Besides the board support, there are some hardware-specific kernel driver patches, for example: - RS485 driver modifications - TP2815 related driver changes - GT9xx touchscreen driver changes - Other hardware-specific drivers These drivers are only required for this hardware platform. What is the recommended way to maintain these driver patches in Armbian? Should they be submitted together with the board support? Or should they be maintained separately and applied through: userpatches/kern…

Hello, is there a parameter one can pass to ./compile.sh in order to limit which toolchains are being downloaded? I just checked and cache/toolchains is taking up 14 GB on my VM and given that I only ever build odroidxu4 kernels this is quite an overkill. I could of course delete the cache manually but this would mean that the toolchains need to be re-downloaded for the next rebuild. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I am an old-timer in Debian and Ubuntu and have uploaded and maintained packages there. I've come across an issue in a package that I use that affects 32-bit platforms such as armv7 but not 64-bit platforms. I've already analysed the problem and applied a fix, compiled the package locally and I'm happy. But I'd like to get the fix into armbian as well so others will not run into this fairly serious problem (for the package in question, it is essentially useless at the moment in noble). I looked through the various github repositories but was unable to see how to apply a patch to a userland package and have it published. Given that armbian s…

Hi. I ned to revert uboot back to 2015.07 for some tests. The point is this: Changed u-boot version in configuration.sh and image built without problems. When i boot it doesn't recognise the kernel image. which parameters should i change?

Hello, I want to use touchscreen on my lcd. To do this I do the following: Compile my own dtbo and load it: /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "allwinner,sun7i-a20"; fragment@0 { target = <&rtp>; __overlay__ { allwinner,ts-attached; }; }; }; Blacklist gpadc modules: blacklist sun4i_gpadc_iio blacklist sun4i_gpadc After reboot the touchscreen is working. However I cannot see what is loading these two modules? Also is there any other way getting working touchscreen? I'm using armbian 5.34 with kernel version 4.13.11.

Sorry for this novice question, I am sure I am missing this in the documentation somewhere... When creating Armbian images using the included build system, I notice that the kernel is downloaded each time I run a build. This of course takes a decent amount of time to pull via git. Is there a way to simply point the build system to a local cached folder that already contains kernel sources already downloaded? That would speed up my iterations significantly. Thanks!

I tried the latest image for my Orange Pi one, but that one doesn't boot.

I put some fresh armbian buster image to my cubieboard (1). Although no (real) application was installed, a load of around 20-30% could be seen. First I located the K-worker problem on A20 based boards thread and blacklisted sun4i_gpadc and sun4i_gpadc_iio. But after removing my display and booting the system still there was some kworker load almost stopping the system every 5-10 seconds. Digging deeper I found a description and a possible solution of the problem. Looking a my Olimex A20 Lime2 which I am currently testing with the new olimage by Olimex because of the never solved gigabit problems of my board, the same behaviour could be seen. The modules sun4i…

Hi guys, I am trying to get latest kernel on my cubietruck because from some reason I still have kernel + headers version 3.4.109 even I did "apt-get update -y && apt-get upgrade -y" or tried "apt-get dist-upgrade" My setup is boot on nand and root on /dev/sda1 on debian Jessie.

Hi Igor, Here is YAP (Yet Another Patch) for the TBS5520 USB2 DVB-T/T2/C/S/S2 device (Rafael Micro r848 tuner). Sorry again, i tried 'git diff' but it gets only the first file, if you feel this can be added to the build process, please do it. There is a new version released that someone could give a look, but for now you can test this. git clone https://github.com/avafinger/tbs5520.git @lex PS: This should be applied right after rtl2832 patch.

Hi, Igor. I am trying to compile armbian kernel for N6 Max rk3399 box, based on Armbian/Build: https://github.com/armbian/build I met the following issues: 1.

Hello. For the past month, I have been working on fixing, updating, and rewriting the hardware crypto patch for RK3588. I've done so much work on it that I'm considering submitting it for review to be added to mainline kernel. I needed hardware cryptographic acceleration for a small project running on my Kubernetes ARM cluster. I noticed that Armbian is still using rk35xx-montjoie-crypto-v2-rk35xx.patch, so I decided to give it a try, but unfortunately the results were quite buggy. I took a closer look at rk35xx-montjoie-crypto-v2-rk35xx.patch and discovered a fairly large number of bugs and potential improvements. I then spent the past month rewriting and updating th…

Hi, I managed to make w1-GPIO work in Orange Pi Zero v3 for, for example, the DS18B20 sensor. However, I have some doubts about setting the GPIO flags for w1-gpio. Many examples provide flags in the form gpios = <&pio 0 7 (GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH|GPIO_OPEN_DRAIN)>; but in the dts file when I use this form it does not work (syntax error) so I have to provide the flags in digital form. A description of flags and bits is here https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.6.30/source/include/dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h If I would like to set GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH | GPIO_OPEN_DRAIN then the digital value for…

Hi This is my patches for using NAND + UBI + UBIFS with legacy kernel and latest u-boot Tested on Cubieboard-1 and Cubietruck. U-Boot: - read-only support for now - i.e. all write/erase ops are locked Kernel: - pooling events - need to convert to interrupts+completions ToDo: - make led support NAND layout - driver will create two MTD partitions: mtd0 - with name "SPL" - 1024K rounded up to eraseblock size. mtd1 - with name "UBI" - all other space excluding last 4 erseblocks - for bad block table. For using with u-boot need to create ubi volume named "boot" with id=0. This volume must contain /boot/* files. For other files I use in tests all …

Hi all, first post here. I have an orange pi zero and I want to develop some C++ apps on it. My app is going to be a bit big, and at the moment compiling it on the ZERO takes FOREVER (I guess its just the RAM, not CPU)! Compiling it on my intel i9 PC is just a matter of seconds. So I managed to find gcc-linaro-10.2.1-2021.04-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf and I can cross compile and then remotely debug it on the ZERO....life is much better now all of the sudden. But I have some concerns, would be nice if you walk me though: 1) I am running Armbian 20.04 on the ZERO which I believe is compiled with GCC 9.3.0. I could not find a Linaro pack…

What kind of platform can i use to CROSS_COMPILE for armbian and OrangePI? Some of LINARO? Can someone help?
