Hi, could anyone provide a kernel (e.g. 4.3.3) with the patch for CVE-2016-0728? Or can anyone tell me how to patch and build the kernel - i only know the official way via "git an ./compile" described here in the manuals. The patch can be found here: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=23567fd052a9abb6d67fe8e7a9ccdd9800a540f2 Regards, A.

Is it possible to make an image for RK3368?Only rk3399 and rk3288 are supported officially.What can I do for that.

I found this project very interesting and I would like to try Armbian for this new board Turris MOX. I've got your build environment working and tested my own build for a couple of supported boards. It was successful. I would like to ask you if you could help me in preparing the .config file for this board. Board Specification: https://mox.turris.cz/en/specification/ Documentation: https://doc.turris.cz/doc/en/howto/mox/mox-a-cpu Indiegogo: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/turris-mox-modular-open-source-router

Hello, I'm building a device driver which controls gpio pins. When I developed one in the kernel 3.x, I could get the proper gpio pin number from script.fex(converted from script.bin in /boot/bin/ folder) For example, if the pin I'm using is PB03, I was able to use 3 to control that pin in device driver program. gpio_pin_1 = port:PH10<1><default><default><0> gpio_pin_2 = port:PH20<1><default><default><0> gpio_pin_3 = port:PB03<0><default><default><default> However, from kernel 4.x, script.bin file is not used anymore. Instead of this, there is a dtb file, but I have no idea where I can…

Dear all, I recently perched a SINA33 from SINLINX after a week of test i download the Armbian source code that is very interesting and started to create an Armbian image for this board.

Dear Community, Everytime I build a new Armbian OS, it comes with "configng" which dosent support the Feature to enable I2C, SPI & UART, the category "Hardware" isnt available in my build. How can I add the armbian-config to my automated build-system which adds the armbian-config with support of enabling this? I add a picture of the armbian-config, which comes with the currently build. At "system" is an entry with "armv7l" , but I build the OS for sunxi8. What I need to do, to support the Hardware entry in my armbian-config?

Hi, I have two meson64 SBCs where one is Khadas VIM 3 and the other is Odroid N2. They have been running almost the same setup and there has been minor differences with time. For the past months, I have had issues with the error Illegal instruction for my Odroid N2 server. I did a clean install earlier today (Armbian_23.02.2_Odroidn2_jammy_current_6.1.11) without success. For instance, I often face the error when running cryptsetup benchmark. Most of the time I have to reboot multiple times, reinstall cryptsetup packages, try the armhf packages and more. I have never had the same issue with Khadas VIM 3. The issue seems to be related to argon2i and…

Hello, I am trying to port my developed module to the newest Armbian system. Once I had everything worked in very old Armbian developed in 2018 based on kernel 3.4. There is a hardware module connected via i2c1. When my program tries to communicate with it, it doesn't work and I get errors kernel: i2c i2c-1: mv64xxx: I2C bus locked, block: 1, time_left: 0 I've uploaded the diagnosis information to URL: https://paste.armbian.com/aciwalafah There was a problem also in Armbian 22.11 system. I upgraded it after found information about some solution for i2c probem with similar error messages. Please advise. Thanks.

the main proposal of this research is to enable cached apt archives for docker build. first apt cache can be saved by a docker volume, but due to `${SDCARD}/var/cache/apt/archives` is not a constant, then we can't use `-v=apt-cache:${SDCARD}/var/cache/apt/archives` to enable it. so I use `-v=apt-cache:/root/.apt` as a tmp place for apt cache, when need `apt install` in `${SDCARD}`, use `mount -o bind /root/.apt ${SDCARD}/var/cache/apt/archives` and after install finishes, `umount ${SDCARD}/var/cache/apt/archives` this looks perfect, but after I check /root/.apt, everything is gone. I double checked whether *.deb are saved to…

Hi I had 2days of effort on make my lcd working here: https://github.com/notro/fbtft/issues/428, but no results till now!

Hi All, I am not new to kernel building. I have been building kernels since the early days of Gentoo. Kernels on boards however, is something a bit different. I have an roc-rk3328-cc but this would be applicable to a variety of boards. Right now Firefly has their 4.* kernel at 4.4.114. I guess at some point that was what they went with. The current kernel is at about 4.15.14. I couldn't figure out how to patch from 4.4.114 to 4.15.14 (if you could provide help with that, please do so) so I downloaded the tarball and extracted it into the firefly's git directory. What should have happened was any kernel related file got u…

Hi guys, I'm new on linux, In the last week, I have downloaded armbian source code to build a light-weight kernel for my orangepi zero.

Igor, to add some applications ( for example, https://github.com/Freescale/gstreamer-imx), it would be nice to have the possibility, to enter at some point into the chroot, and compiling software, and installing it. Or, add a "just mount exisiting image" function to your scripts. For example, base image is finished, and then I can use a function, that unpack, mount, the existing image, and allow "the costumer" to enter into chroot. What do you think? Peter

When i look into the armbian project and would like to get a special chipset and thus search for a armbian board that supports this chipset, i cant filter for those here: https://www.armbian.com/download/ It would be great to be able to filter to for example this kind of chipsets: Amlogic, NXP, Rockchip, ... And not just the maker of the boards.

I am trying to convert this dts file into a user-provided overlay. I have a work-in-progress, but I'm running into the issue that some labels seem not available to reference with the "&" operator. Specifically - the uart2 label seems not possible to reference. Maybe there are more compile errors in my code, but dtc only gives errors one by one... I tried decompiling the current device tree using dtc -I fs -O dts /sys/firmware/devicetree/base There the uart2 label seems missing in that output. I tried whether creating an alias for the path found in the current device tree, but that also didn't help: uart2 = "/soc/serial@1c28800"; …

During all my board migrations under 5.0.y, I've seen that copying OS into eMMC using "nand-sata-install", it now much faster !!! I don't know if it 5.0.y related or if some tweaks have been done to "nand-sata-install", but time shrink from 20minutes to 4 or 5minutes...

Armbian is written to a µSD card as a small file (a gig or two if I recall). If the card is 64gigs, the image is still just a few gigs written to that card. When booted on the device, though, it automatically expands the file system to the full size of the card. How exactly does it do that? And... How do I do the reverse? Take the file system from a working armbian install and create a small image that when written to a µSD card, will stay small, but then auto-expand when booted on a device?

Hi, I'm porting trusty on imx53 ConnectCore board and I wonder what I should change in order to use lib with this card. I have an ubuntu that works. note : kernel is too old : 2.6.35 but i have source code. edit : I dropped!

Hello, im trying to map the i2c-2 to some GPIO ports and have to rewrite the device-tree on armbian 22.04. I'm failing miserably and have no idea how-to do it. I managed to compile the i2c-gpio.ko kernel module as it is not part of the armbian 5.15.89-sunxi kernel. However, here i'm stuck and cant manage to make it happen.

So, Just installed Arbian Xenial mainline/stable on a 32Gb microSD on a Cubietruck. Everything seems to be working well except when I attach an external USB 3.0 1Tb disk. It seems to keep issuing some kind of ATA command to query the disk and cause a clicking. I know its not the disk because it works fine elsewhere and theres some info in the dmesg about it (which I will post when I get a chance). Is this a known bug or not? And if Im able to track down the bug and fix it where should I submit a PR? Thanks for the great project! - Zack

The rockchip64 kernels are missing wireless drivers for ralink chips.

Namely the Network Manager. I recently just made a Debian Stretch Image for the ROC-RK3328-CC (Renegade) with the help of this and I would like to know for future reference, how to omit and add software to the final build. The build seemed to go fine and working like a charm, but Network Manager just gives me a headache and every now again doesn't come up during boot. Be real nice if I didn't have to depend on it or remove it after the fact, every time I wanna make a new image. Thanks!

Hi, There have been a couple of posts about this over time, but I was wondeing if somebody could please provide concrete example / sample code that uses DMA to TX out the GPIO pin(s)?

Happy with a basic example if somebody has which just blasts out one GPIO pin even.

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

Hello everyone, I have a screen of 1280x800 resolution. while connecting the screen to my rockpi-4b, the resolution is set to 1024x768, and there is no 1280x800 option in the display setting panel. after learning from Internet for days, I think the root is that my screen doesn't have a correct EDID information. so I made some changes to let the kernel ignores the screen's edid information and use specified edid file. The resolution is successfully set to 1280x800, the only problem is that the screen display is shaking, as the attached video shows.

When ./compile.sh command is used to compiling a new Armbian version (especially with some source changes for debugging), in case there was an error during compilation, it can be impossible to find real reason of the problem. Log files located in output/debug folder are not very informative - they just show the last message, which also appears on the screen - failed in script line number . The following command was used to get full log of the compilation process: command | tee -a log.txt Hope this will be useful for somebody else (newbie), who like me spent a lot of time trying to understand, why the compilation failed after some changes in kernel configuration.

I'm building an Ubuntu image and after it compiles the ARM objects it tries to download files from ports.ubuntu.com. For a reason I'm still trying to figure out, it's trying to get files from 127.0.0.1 (which is weird) but that's fixable. What I'd like to do is resume a build that had failed without recompiling all the ARM objects again. I'm using compile.sh. Thanks! Kriston

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.

Happy new year everyone, I am working on a project where I want to control two brushed DC motors equipped with a magnetic encoder and driven by a H-bridge circuit. All this has to be done on a tiny arm board (with enough cpu power for other computations), and I decided to go for the NanoPi NEO Air. I compiled the actual mainline Kernel with realtime capability (turned PREEEMTIVE on in menuconfig, hope that's enough) and debian streched. One issue might be the tight and constraining timing when sampling the magnetic encoder, which generates two 1.6kHz (about 0.6ms) pulses for each motor. I guess it would be best to get an interrupt generated at each…

I have it working.. just need to add hardware acceleration to ffmpeg and mpv before I package it up and get it into the Armbian build.

Hellow, I would like to report an issue with Orange Pi PC+ I tried to run the board with a manually built image (with kernel version 'next' and 5.71). While in the past I was able to create Wifi hotspots without any issues, with a new image I encountered weird issues where the hotspot was listed from Wifi clients, but trying to connect triggered some scarry traceback such as this one : Spoiler Jan 21 00:09:50 hostname kernel: [ 99.828931] ------------[ cut here ]------------ Jan 21 00:09:50 hostname kernel: [ 99.833571] kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3901!

Hi, friend. Please help me compile u-boot How to compile old u-boot 2019.07 using armbian Building? Which kernel version is supported with u-boot 2019.07? How to add boot.src : setenv video-mode sunxi:800x480-18@40,monitor=lcd , when compiling u-boot? /build/config/boards/olinux-som-a13.csc: What is HAS_VIDEO_OUTPUT="no" ?

This weekend I was revising and testing the OV5640 for some A64 boards. To enable the Camera (OV5640) on NanoPi A64 for the mainline kernel you have to update the following: * DT * GPIO-I2C Here is the excerpt : Spoiler { model = "FriendlyARM ..."; . . reg_vcc3v3: vcc3v3 { compatible = "regulator-fixed"; regulator-name = "vcc3v3"; regulator-min-microvolt = <3300000>; regulator-max-microvolt = <3300000>; }; cam_xclk: cam-xclk { #clock-cells = <0>; compatible = "fixed-clock"; clock-frequency = <24000000>; …

The "Edit Device" wordpress template ("https://www.armbian.com/wp-admin/...") has some input fields that I would like to understand. I am trying to complete it for the MKS-Klipad50 (https://www.armbian.com/mks-klipad50). (It's a CSC board, not standard support - if that matters.) Following fields are unclear to me: "Compatible" What is the meaning and expected syntax? Is that something like devices using the same kernel, but different setup/devicetree files? "Expose kernels" / "How many kernels to expose?" Is this related to the "Kernels" table (see below), like how many rows to use? …

Hi, U-boot reads my SD card with a speed of less then 1 MB/s. This is the log from extraPutty for my kernel image: [30:208][35:648] 5025176 bytes read in 5389 ms (910.2 KiB/s) I find similar results from other people. When I read the same file in a shell with dd I get a speed of 20 MB/s. Clear the cache: echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches Read file from the /boot directory: dd if=zImage of=/dev/null 9814+1 records in 9814+1 records out 5025176 bytes (5.0 MB) copied, 0.246444 s, 20.4 MB/s This is the result I expect because the hardware is SD v2. (25 MB/s) Goal: Faster boot by increasing the SD card read speed of U-boot. Question: How to do this? Any re…

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

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?

I just install the development enviroment to build custom images. Works pretty fine. Thanks to all of you. It makes it easy to test custom kernels on development boards. I went a step further, trying to use the userpatches/customize-image.sh script. Correct if i am wrong. It's possible to make a generic building process to add new drivers like the media_build does? I tried but the building fails because some variable references like the kernel version and driver modules path that the building script gets are from the host building machine and not the chroot guest. I suppose that inside this building image process there are some profile variables that could be reused. that…

Hello, I'm using the Tinkerboard S and I'm just curious. My understanding is that the latest mali user space drivers released by rockchip no longer have x11 support. I'm wondering if this user space driver is capable of running say a desktop environment utilising wayland. Would say, Gnome, Plasma or Enlightenment work with this proprietary driver? My apologies i'm in no way shape or form a developer, just curious about the capabilities of the driver. I

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!

Hi, the first repositories for the upcomimg cubietruck+ system are online at github: https://github.com/cubieboard Best regards, ireng

I decided to start my Armbian contribution with something simple as a first step where I will learn how to update the documentation. So far I've cloned and built the docs successfully. But after I built them, I noticed that the new docs I built do not match the documentation on the website (docs.armbian.com). Which files are considered to be correct / what's next (fix the ones in git or the ones on the site?). Thanks!

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.

Could some one advice or point to documentation for these tasks On some images the first boot is automatically restarted probably due to the filesystem expansion. I would like to do it myself or detetch some not yet done trigger file. Secondary avoid the forced account creation on first login. I have a bootstrap task which I start by using the external usb media which does all these things and starts my application install process. But to avoid the restarts and apt-get locks the plain image should not do things automatically... example on raspbian my process takes around 15minutes but installs all my required tools.

I would like to change the image types at https://www.armbian.com/mks-klipad50/ so that Debian Server images ("full-cli-stable-debian") for current and edge kernels are built for this board. Optimal would be, if the "Desktop" and "Minimal/IOT" were omitted, so that only the Server images appear. Something similar is done for "aml-s9xx-box" here: https://github.com/armbian/os/blob/main/userpatches/targets-release-community-maintained.template#L57 So my approach for enabling Server images would be https://github.com/armbian/os/compare/main...torte71:armbian-os:main as PR. But I am not sure a) if adding boards directly to the "items:" proper…

New here, first of all congrats for the good work. I am using Armbian (Debian vanilla) on a Bpi R1 with iperf throughput of 860 MBit. Not bad.... My question: do you plan to upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 as Freedombox (deb available on Launchpad for 16.04) needs several packages from 16.04. I tried a partial upgrade with Debian to testing, however the R1 did not boot after the upgrade.

Hello, I'm currently working on embedded and now I need to connect my banana pi A20 with lemake LCD. Because of chromium issues and bugs for lower kernel, I want to use vanilla kernel. What I want to do is to run a server suing asp.net and start a kiosk mode chromium and check in the LCD. I've checked you posted this link http://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/patch/kernel/sunxi-next/bananapipro_lemaker_lcd.patch.disabled ​I also heard that I might deal with this problem by kernel compile, but I'm pretty new to Linux, and actually a little bit overwhelmed about the sources and information. ​Can you give me any suggestion about kernel compile, where to st…

Was trying to follow the https://www.armbian.com/participate/ page instructions to get access to Jira, but the link just takes me to Jira and tells me that I don't have access. No option to request access on that page, just "[username] doesn't have access to Jira on armbian.atlassian.net." Does the participate page need updates? Or should I just try to work off of github issues only? Feel free to direct me to the right place if it matters, I would potentially be helping with some nanopi devices, have several r2s and r2s plus - the r2s plus needs some work i think.

Hi guys, I'm running out of ideas... Following situation, I use since years Armbian Bullseye on the HC2 with a 3,5" HDD, with OMV and Syncthing. Now I replaced the HDD with a SDD, copied and work without issues with the old HC2 board. I have as well a HC1 board here, so ideal solution is, change SD and SSD to the HC1 and my expectation is, should work. For sure the MAC would change, but seems the network connection isn't working at all. At least my expectation is, there should be a new address received via DHCP (setting is DHCP). Did I miss some important Armbian specific settings? Maybe there is something set in first run? Both board run seamless with a new f…

Hi, Igor, it is a wonderful thing you got going on here I would to add applications to the image by either installing them as anyone would (apt-get install ...) or by compiling source code for the desired applications. What would be the approach to do so? I tried reading the messages on the forum and the documentation but could not find a way to do so. Example: Mono (can either be added with apt-get or compiled. Cheers, Robson

Hello, Although Armbian is not the only one, most of the orange PI PC linuxes are not include XFS support so I had to go through a time consuming process to recompile the kernel by a guide which only works on Ubuntu 14.x (doh!): http://www.orangepi.org/Docs/Building.html Here is the kernel I made for the OrangePI boards, for those who miss the same thing: http://www.filedropper.com/orangepihwpacktar

Hi! In doc page": https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Process/#downloading-sources in "Directory structure" is listed folder "source". But when i cloning repo and build kernel there is no such directory "source". how to add this folder with kernel source ? Best Regards

Hi all, I'm using an online article to help get me started with DotNet core this one Article All works fine when I use a Raspberry Pi as my target host but on my Nanopi the executable file created by dotnet publish -t linux-arm is not found, in the article the author creates a console app from a Windows command line and then publishes it. He then copies all the files from the Windows *publish* folder to a Pi and the executable created by Windows runs on the Pi. If I do the same on my Nanopi I get a file not found error - racking my brains with this one as the file is definitely there. I can create apps directly on the Nano cli but it would be …

Hello everybody, I have a loftq of Mixtile at home for 2 weeks and try to install linux since that time.

I am working with a Hummingboard that has the 3.14.14-cubox-I kernel on it (was given to me with that version on it). I need to add a module (specifically g_hid.ko HID Gadget Module) which was not initially activated in the kernel build. I’ve tried making the module from the git repository (https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib) and succeeded in building it, but it does not work on my hummingboard as a the module has vermagic of 3.14.14+ while my hummingboard has 3.14.14-cubox-i. I know I could just flash this new kernel onto my device, but I have some customization in place all ready so I would like to avoid that. So I am looking for help as to how I can get source c…

I have have armbian V25.2.3 installed on a radxa Zero 2w linux kernel 6.12.17-current-meson64. The radxa uses i2c to talk to a PCA9685 which in turn drives three servos in a robot. The issue is that the PCA9685 has two i2c busses, 0 and 1. But the radxa zero has only two i2c busses that can be enabled using armbian-config and they are i2c-3 and - ic2-5. It seems I need to install a new overlay to describe the i2c busses in the device tree. But how do I do that?
