Many of us are using Armbian not just on ARM single board computers but also on servers (bare metal & virtual). We use our builds since we trust it more then Debian, Ubuntu, not to mention other distributions that are recklessly updating and one ends up as an OS tester and not OS user. Personally I use Armbian Jammy on Ryzen 9 workstation with great success. My primary use case is development / productivity. For the road I used to have 13" Dell notebook which recently suddenly died. It was out of warranty so I had to get something new. After some testings of various devices I settled with 12th Gen Intel i5-1240P powered Lenovo. Then I tried many general purpose distro…

When flashing the Armbian image for the Odin 2 Portal to the SD card and attempting to boot (on ROCKNIX ABL v1.2), the ABL can detect the SD card but does not detect the OS at all. This is on the latest version of the OS, with the GNOME/ubuntu image flashed via the official Armbian Imager. When will this be fixed? (image not uploaded as it kept throwing errors)

Please note that it is a known issue that Turnip / Vulkan broken on Snapdragon SM8550 / Adreno 740 on Mesa 25.3.x. See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/work_items/14656 The workaround is to apply patch from https://github.com/batocera-linux/batocera.linux/blob/master/board/batocera/patches/mesa3d/001-fix-freedreno-vulkan.patch and rebuild 001-fix-freedreno-vulkan.patch

I see a very active gaming thread for the Orange Pi 5, but the Radxa Dragon Q6A is the better credit card sized ARM SBC for gaming. I'm a bit of a lazy person, so I don't feel like testing many settings, so I settled on the Steam ARM Linux client and for some games the Luxtorpeda tool for Steam. Luxtorpeda isn't developed for ARM, but it will run with Fex-Emu, and I assume Box64. https://codeberg.org/luxtorpeda/luxtorpeda Here you can see Metro 2033 Redux on the Rada Dragon Q6A. I played it with Luxtorpeda. You can also play it with Proton ARM64, but I didn't see much difference with the performance. Performance is around 20-25 fps at 1080p…

I did a apt upgrade that messed up my set up, so I have recently (as in two hours ago) reinstalled armbian on on my dragon q6a. Unlike the previous set up, I have not been able to connect to my wifi. Did a bit of a dance with AI help and still failed, but it looks like the wifi module is directly not found. nmcli device returns ``` DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION enp1s0 ethernet unmanaged -- lo loopback unmanaged -- ``` lsusb returns Bus 001 Device 005: ID a69c:8d80 aicsemi AIC Wlan So I guess that's the wifi hardware and AI claims my system does not have the drivers.…

Hi everyone, I hope this topic is in the right place and won't bother anyone. I'm pretty new to the ARM world. In very first i would like to thanks all people and the communities who work hard on Armbian. I successfully use a NanoPC T6 Plus / A NanoPi M6 and other forks on some TV Box with no major problems. My curiosity pushed me to try using Armbian on a MinisForum MS-R1, so i bought one and tried to boot up the KDE or Gnome image on it. In the two case, the installation is a fail at the step of launching the desktop environment, it's stuck here. The uefi is up to date with the lastest version (cix_flash_all2_MGP1WSB_20…

I received a Helios4 and was finally able to get it to boot. As per instructions, I booted from microSD and flashed the latest Armbian image to sda1 via the nand-sata-install command. This reboots fine now, but only with the microSD-card present and the SW1 dipswitch set to "SD card boot mode". Is anybody here using "SPI NOR Flash" or "SATA1" boot mode to get rid of the microSD card? I am bit handicapped here since my serial port on the microUSB only comes up maybe 1 in 10 times. I wonder if it's worn out or if I am simply doing something wrong. Related Links: 1 2 3 4

Hi, I've installed the latest Armbian on an F3 (Armbian_26.5.1_Bananapif3_trixie_current_6.18.33_minimal.img), updated and upgraded and then rebooted. Unfortunately there's no PWM controller under /sys: bobham@bananapif3:~$ ls /sys/class/pwm/ bobham@bananapif3:~$ which means there's no fan control. According to the official docs, there should be a PWM controller to control the fan. Can the fan controller be added? Thanks, Bob Ham

Installed minimal debian image on my rPI5B. Then used "armbian-config --cmd PVE001" to install Proxmox. That went well with no reported errors. Navigated to the Proxmox web GUI and it looked and acted as expected. I currently have an AMD64 Proxmox cluster operating on my homelab so I am familiar with Proxmox. I wanted to make some changes to my network configuration using the Proxmox GUI. When I clicked the "Apply Configuration" button, it threw an "incompatible ifupdown2 package version" instead of applying the configuration.

After more than six successful years with Helios4, I have to say goodbye to this platform and the highly valued, helpful, and knowledgeable Armbian forum. With 32-bit, it’s no longer feasible to continue using it in the future. I have installed the 4 8TB hard drives from the NAS into an Odroid H4+ (Intel, 64-bit), installed OMV8, and on top of that, Nextcloud-AIO Hub 26 Winter and AdGuardHome. Thank you very much for your support over the past few years. btw. The Helios4 hardware (excluding the hard drives) is still available.

Unless I'm missing something, there appears to only be two variations, but both are labelled as "Desktop" images.. In addition, in the below screenshot you can see a footnote indicating that to install OMV I will need a Bookworm minimal image - which is what I want to do. Am I missing something? Thanks

I'm struggling to get the Pi Camera 3/IMX708 detected by the Zero 2W. It's an IMX708 sensor, and that is correctly showing in dmesg, but the V4L2 devices (/dev/video0, /dev/video1) for the camera are not set up. All the normal encoder devices are fine. I'm using a custom build but it's essentially minimal (and no desktop) current with trixie and no extensions, following the standard command for building an image.

Fairly sure the current build either includes an incorrect or no ucm config for HDMI Audio support; I've seen other builds eg rock itx have this issue but I believe this may be a potential issue for the q6a build if anyone experiences there is a solution - 1. Install alsa-ucm-conf sudo apt install -y alsa-ucm-conf 2. Download configs cd /tmp curl -sL "https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf/archive/refs/heads/master.tar.gz" | tar xz 3.

I recently got a Raspberry Pi 5 and installed Armbian on it. Most things work fine, aside for some weird output issues in htop and nano. I noticed, when I go to the Raspberry Pi page on Armbian, the url refers to the Pi 4b, not the 5. I also found some articles online linking to a specific Pi 5b page (which I thought was weird since that model doesn't exist), but it just redirects to the 4b page. Then, I went searching in the archive and found that, at some point, there were specific 5b images available (https://armbian.hosthatch.com/archive/rpi5b/archive). Which of these should I use? Is the 4b image okay to use on a Pi 5? Or do you not suppo…

The board works well with Armbian, but currently it is not possible to use USB audio interfaces (sound cards, modems exposing audio functions, VoIP devices, etc.) because the snd-usb-audio module is missing from the kernel and not available as a loadable module. If needed, I can provide logs, test kernels, or help verify the changes. Thanks for maintaining support for this board.

Greetings, I installed Armbian Noble with gnome desktop, specifically "Armbian_26.2.1_Rpi4b_noble_current_6.18.9_gnome_desktop.img" on a Raspberry Pi 5. Updated system and installed chrome since I need to play some media from inside chromium browser. However, I checked to see that hardware accelerated video decode is not actually supported within Armbian currently. Previously I had official Raspberry Pi OS installed when I first had a look at the device and there it was enabled. It's kind of a minor thing but I've used different hardware with Armbian before and it would make things a lot easier for me if I can keep using Armbian on Raspberry Pi 5 as well.…

Would give a fix but aint that easy if you already upgraded you need to download the previous firmware put on usb stick and slap it on either that or figure out whats broken in the last one this is kind of rambling but yeah just be careful upgrading

Klipper doesn't know what happened just that the mcu stopped responding. And their knowledge base article is basically "gosh it could be anything". One seat of the pants observation i made was that the XU4 idles along at 600mhz with a load average of about 0.1 and it seemed like the load average increased maybe before the mcu stopped responding. The MCU in question is an SKR Pico, aka rp2040 with a usb connection. The mcu is not receiving power from th…

Helios4 can boot directly from the sata disk nr 1, without the need to switch from the SD or the eMMC. I personally tried setting SW1 to 11100 and using u-boot-sata for Clearfog, which shares the same uSOM and the system booted regularly, obviously the system didn't recognize many devices being u-boot for another board. I tried to compile a version of u-boot for sata trying to integrate the changes present in https://solidrun.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/developer/pages/287212134/A38X+U-Boot in the U-boot build instruction and sources for Helios4 present in the Kobol Wiki but my skills are not sufficient for such a job. In the binaries available for…

Hi I have upgraded an existing x86 Armbian system with kernel 6.6.63 and zfs 2.3.2 to the suggested kernel 6.12.32-current-x86, but I cannot get the zfs kernel module loaded after the latest updates to Armbian 25.5.1 noble. I also tried on other kernels, only the old 6.6.63 seems to work. Normally when you select a different kernel in the armbian-config menu, it should automatically compile the zfs modules if it is activated. It just skips it. But you can of course compile it with the provided DKMS system: the build just finishes fine, without any error, also the install, but when you try to load the module: it responds with: …

I'm having trouble with the raspberry omv builds. The latest build I can get working is 24.11.1 which doesn't survive an upgrades (I've tried holding the various packages that seem to cause issues which used to work but doesn't work anymore. The suggested trouble shooting on the download page doesn't work either. Currently the 25.11.1 build is stuck in a bootloop, the only irregularity I can identify is failure to load console-setup.service message. I had a working system that lost my soundcard/DAC-hat after trying to address update error messages which's what started this whole refresh process

Hi, I successfully installed and tested PiClone (or also called SD Card Copier) in Armbian 25.8.1 Trixie on a Raspberry PI 4b with SD cards and SSD via USB adapter and vice versa. Might also work on other Debian based distro's. I just leave my personal instructions here in case others need PiClone too to make copy of good working Armbian install and configuration. To be clear I am not a very advanced user, so others may know to do more efficient. But it is working here without issue. Moved to Armbian because was fed up with annoyances in DietPI, certain things being too different from pure Debian that I use on "regular" computers. Raspberry PI OS i…

Hello! I have an RPi5 8GB board that I bought off of AliExpress, along with a Waveshare PoE M.2 HAT+ ( https://www.waveshare.com/poe-m.2-hat-plus-b.htm ) Initially I tried to use the Noble XFCE image, by following the recommended installation procedure via rpi-imager via a USB drive, hoping to install the system to a Toshiba (Kioxia) NVMe drive. The RPI5 was connected to a CrowView Note. What I saw was that the firmware loaded up the necessary files from the USB drive (then later the micro-SD card), and the initramfs loaded up too, then systemd started up, and probably when the screen usually goes blank for a short time (probably switchin…

A known issue with the Odroid XU4, HC1, and HC2 is that it (uboot?) does not properly park the hard disk heads before/during shutdown or power cycle/off. So, the disk drive is forced to emergency hard retract the heads when power is shutdown/cycled. This is of course a violent action for the HDD and should be avoided. Use this odroid.shutdown script and install into /lib/systemd/system-shutdown/. https://wiki.odroid.com/odroid-xu4/troubleshooting/shutdown_script Recommend adding to armbian for XU4 distros.

Upon reading the content of RPi5 about 6.12 from this and this , I was under the impression that it's okay to upgrade the Armbian 24.11 based NextCloudPi to a 6.12 kernel. Well, I was wrong and the RPi5 current stuck in the RPi Logo on a black page. Net address seems to be 0.0.0.0. I could really use some advice on how to restore this, perhaps some `chroot` method from another Linux machine to get the right kernel package and intramfs. Here are the steps that got me to the current situation. Maybe a hint on how to restore? 1. Mark `raspi-firmware`, like what was recommended in 1st post. sudo apt-mark hold raspi-firmware [sudo] passwo…

I am currently developing an application that requires using monitor mode with RT8821CU chipset (rtw88 kernel driver). Previously I was using RaspberryPi OS and everything worked great, but I am moving to Armbian mainly to be able to target more SBCs. The problem is in Armbian, the WiFi monitoring performance is much much worse (at least with the RT8821CU) than with RaspberryPi OS and with my Arch laptop, and I cannot guess why could this be. I have tested on the rpi4b the following: * Build the rtw88 driver with debug and debugfs enabled just in case. * Test with all the three kernel versions available (edge 6.16, current 6.12, legacy 6.6). None of them …

Just wondering if anyone would be interested in running a helios4 NAS still today? Or maybe you might need a spare board as a potential replacement? I have a decommissioned one at home that has been replaced with an x86 machine. The helios4 still works just fine and it would be quite a waste to just throw it away. It is the full kit: Case, board, cables and power adapter. Happy to send it (I am based in Germany) to whoever wants it as long as you cover the cost. Please send me a direct message if interested, thanks!

With newer kernel versions, communication works not, /dev/i2c-1 does not exist anymore in this case without changing any configuration, just selected newer kernel using armbian-config Any ideas why this happens?

Looking at various Docker images on Docker Hub, I see images for armv6, armv7, and armhf. Which are the right ones to use on an XU4/HC2?

I recently installed:Armbian_25.2.1_Odroidxu4_bookworm_current_6.6.75_minimal.img on my Odroid HC2. Ran the configuration. I'm currently trying to resolve an issue with warm booting and losing the hard drive. I've read this: https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=97&t=44865 on the Odriod forum. And this: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/15611-odroid-hc1-and-kernel-54-soft-reset-makes-the-sata-drive-disappear/ here JMCC said: Just curious if this still applies today with that build of Armbian? Also if the solution of changing the boot.ini is still valid today to fix the soft reset error? …

I've been running Armbian on an Odroid HC1 board for some time now. We've just had a kernel upgrade and it now boots as an XU4 according to the motd. This used to be changeable with armbian-config (I did this regularly on kernel updates). But, with the new armbian-config I can't find a way to do this any more. *edit A bit more info Running SY017 in armbian-config gives an empty list, and I get this error: ls: cannot access '/boot/dtb/overlay/*.dtbo': No such file or directory In fact /boot/dtb/overlay/ does not exist

Hi, hope you're all doing well. I have this Odroid HC2 (XU4 without video output) that was running an old Armbian version. I intended to update to the latest one (o something close to it) but it seems it won't boot with the newer releases. The board seems to power up ok, leds apparently blinking in a normal fashion, but it seems it gets stuck somewhere. It doesn't acquire any IP address. Not having video output leaves me with little to no way of knowing what is failing. No logs seem to be created in the sdcard. I also tried DietPi images, which I believe are based on Armbian but the same thing happens. I does, howe…

Hi, I use bananapif3 as my home router, where our latest official Armbian runs. Everything works well except the flow offload, which is used to accelerate packets handling, doesn't work in Armbian: $ sudo nft add rule inet filter forward ip protocol tcp flow add @f Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory add rule inet filter forward ip protocol tcp flow add @f ^^^^^^^^^^^ It seems that the kernel config CONFIG_NFT_FLOW_OFFLOAD is not enabled, which might result in this issue: $ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_NFT_FLOW_OFFLOAD # CONFIG_NFT_FLOW_OFFLOAD is not set So would the maintaine…

I'm generating an image version and I noticed that WIFI is not being activated. Until the Armbian-unofficial_24.11.0-trunk_Rpi4b_jammy_current_6.6.58_minimal version it worked and after that it stopped. Can someone help?

Hi, the title says it all: this is the message I get when booting. I rebooted several times, to no avail: same message... The resizing did not seem to occur, as I don't have enough space to install a few packages. Looking at the armbianmonitor log, it seems that resize2fs is missing... Installing e2fsprogs then rebooting fixes the issue. It's on trixie Minimal / IOT image. Best regards. [Edit] typo: lof->log

armbian-bsp-cli-odroidxu4-current is held back because base-files_25.2.2-13ubuntu10-noble_armhf does not exist (again). As before, the fix seems to be wget https://apt.armbian.org/apt/pool/noble-utils/b/base-files/base-files_25.2.2-13ubuntu10-noble_amd64__1-noble-1armbian1-Baa17-U13ubuntu10-R55fa.deb wget https://apt.armbian.org/apt/pool/noble-utils/b/base-files/base-files_25.2.2-13ubuntu10-noble_armhf__1-noble-1armbian1-Baa17-U13ubuntu10-R55fa.deb dpkg-deb -x base-files_25.2.1-13ubuntu10-noble_armhf__1-noble-1armbian1-Baa17-U13ubuntu10-R55fa.deb armhf dpkg-deb -x base-files_25.2.2-13ubuntu10-noble_amd64__1-noble-1armbian1-Baa17-U13ubuntu10-R55fa.de…

Hello, I am trying to install Armbian UEFI-x86 into this very small mini PC, but with secure boot enabled it only shows this screen: Disabling the secure boot isn't an option, because every time I turn it off and then turn it on the next morning, the BIOS settings are being reset, then the secure boot is enabled once again (I believe it is intentional, because the CMOS battery only keeps the clock & date). Moreover, I want to use it as a headless computer, so no keyboard will be attached. Is this fixable or Armbian isn't compatible with secure boot? Thanks in advance.

Today unattended upgrades ran and installed the following: libtasn1-6 linux-dtb-current-odroidxu4 linux-image-current-odroidxu4 linux-u-boot-odroidxu4-current Afterward, the system automatically rebooted and went into a boot loop. I had a backup I was able to copy to the emmc and get back up and running but it is from October 2024 and I am not really sure what to do. coming here to see if anyone else has experienced the same. I tried to run armbianmonitor -U and it had some weird html. I am pretty good with Linux but everything is self taught. thank you in advance for any help Dan
