Problem seems to be that the wlan0 somehow must have a carrier, else it cannot be added to the bridge. A quick hack in a running system, done via serial terminal is: root@raspi7:/etc/systemd/network# systemctl stop systemd-networkd ; systemctl restart hostapd ; systemctl start systemd-networkd Then: root@raspi7:/etc/systemd/network# networkctl IDX LINK TYPE OPERATIONAL SETUP 1 lo loopback carrier unmanaged 2 eth0 ether enslaved configured 3 br0 bridge routable configured 4 wlan0 wlan enslaved configured I did some more testing and also with wlan0 stated as fail, I could browse the internet on my smarthone via the AP. Note that in the meantime, I also simplified the 10-* files a bit, added a MACAddress same as eth0 for br0, so my routers issues same IP address when DHCP, but that is not fundamental to this issue I think, i more how I do it also via NM and how it was automatically in old Linuxes. Google/Gemini suggests to add Before=systemd-networkd.service to hostapd.service, maybe I try, but I find that a dirty hack, it should be already in the OS, although Trixie is not the latest Linux.

Thanks for the reply @eselarm. I was wondering if the install script was doing more than just flashing the SPI and cloning the partition, but if that's all it does I'm good. Regarding Zram and ramlog, I'm not concerned about how much the Nvme SSD gets written, I mainly use the Rock 5B as a low power NAS for temporary files, it downloads a ton of stuff that get shared on the other devices on my LAN, and after a while the files get deleted, so the work load is already more intense than what a bit of swapping and logging is going to do. But I sometimes use it to host simple game servers for my friends, so from time to time I need all the possible RAM, would disabling ZRAM and ramlog be beneficial, considering the SSD is fast enough to act as an efficient swap?

AI development is shifting from implementing models from scratch to composing powerful capabilities via APIs, enabling developers to integrate speech recognition, language models, and tool execution into useful applications with far less effort. View the full article

Hmm... that's strange. Does no one really want to participate in this discussion ? Has any of you really never used the NanoPi M5 before ? Don't you want us to join forces and work together to make this SBC run great ? It is a great piece of hardware who deserves a software to match. Let's show the world that there is a community for other SBCs besides Raspberry Pi ! So far we know for sure that the NanoPi M5 hardware is capable of full 4K. It is already working in Android14 OS. We just need to move the video drivers and software library froma Android to Armbian.

Greetings! My first foray into Armbian. Apparently the Link Star H68K is hardware equivalent to the Hinlink H68K. I'm trying to install one of the community supported Armbian images (Debian Trixie, Ubuntu 26.04) for the Hinlink onto a Link Star H68K, using the RKDevTool from the Seeed Studio wiki. And failing. The only image that loads into RKDevTool is the Lubuntu 20.04 from the Seeed Studio wiki. It's just a tad out of date. Any pointers on getting a more up-to-date OS installed would be most welcome. AFAIK my device is OG, not V2. I've also tried booting from TF card, but the device refuses to boot at all with a TF card inserted. Some Googling suggests that a current TF card is too fast for the device and causes boot failure. Card spec is Class 10 / UHS-1. I've sourced some Sandisk Class 4 cards and currently awaiting delivery, to see if that solves the boot issue and gives me a path to transfer the OS from TF to EMMC. Any thoughts/advice most welcome.

This week's cycle emphasizes broad U-Boot modernization, new board and SoC enablement, and kernel and wireless driver consolidation. A large-scale U-Boot bump moves sunxi 32-bit and 64-bit targets from v2024.01 to v2026.07-rc4, with follow-on updates for self-pinned H616/H618 boards (Zero2W, Zero3, Longan Pi 3H), Mixtile Edge2, NanoPi R5S (now patch-less), and the Youyeetoo YY3588 switching to mainline v2026.04. The imx6 line (UDOO, Cubox-i) was modernized to U-Boot v2026.07 with legacy 6.12, current 6.18, and edge 7.1 kernels. Related toolchain work fixes ODROID-C1, ODROID-XU4, Recore, and X96Q builds under Trixie's GCC 14, and resolves errexit failures on Rockchip SPI boards. Platform expansion introduces community support for the Allwinner A733-based Radxa Cubie A7Z and Orange Pi Zero 3W, Rockchip Graperain G3568 v2, and Anbernic RG Vita Pro and Lubancat-5IO image entries. BeagleY-AI gained USB, PCIe, ISP + IMX219, and VPAC patches on the vendor kernel, alongside GPU acceleration fixes for TI K3 targets and TI Wave5 VPU firmware. Rockchip RV1106 support was split into distinct RV1103G and RV1103B families, and new SPI/NVMe boot and Maskrom recovery paths were added. On the kernel and driver side, sunxi received an H3/H5 DVFS RCU-stall fix, MMC/I2C PM deadlock resolution, MGLRU enablement, and LTE modem USB serial support. Meson64 gained a GPIO pinctrl cansleep series and v7.2-rc1 via bleedingedge, while SpacemiT K1 was updated to linux-7.2.y. The RTL8189ES, RTL8189FS, and RTL8192EU wireless drivers were migrated to dedicated forks with 7.2 compatibility and patch cleanup, and an RTW88 SDIO interrupt storm was addressed. User-visible improvements include swapfile creation fixes, useradd-based first-login provisioning, and video-group access to Rockchip MPP codec devices. #Armbian #EmbeddedLinux #UBoot #Rockchip #Allwinner Changesboard: visionfive2: optimize config for modern U-Boot and single-partition booting. by @zevlaoxie2010 in armbian/build#10097Add Anbernic RG Vita Pro board image. by @crackerjacques in armbian/armbian.github.io#351Add Lubancat-5IO board image and vendor logo. by @lch08 in armbian/armbian.github.io#348Add TI Wave5 VPU firmware. by @Grippy98 in armbian/firmware#132beaglebadge: drop vendor-edge u-boot target (not in ti-u-boot-2026.01). by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#10126BeagleY-AI Add Patches for ISP + IMX219 & VPAC. by @Grippy98 in armbian/build#10129board: anbernic-rg-ds: make OTG-C port dual-role so USB hubs work. by @crackerjacques in armbian/build#10124Build-Switches: document KERNEL_DO_STUBBLE. by @iav in armbian/documentation#928Bump/rk uboot swig fleet mkspi 2. by @redrathnure in armbian/build#10122chore(deps): patch vulnerable transitive deps. by @SuperKali in armbian/website#33ci(docs-preview): skip publish/comment steps on fork PRs. by @iav in armbian/documentation#934ci: auto-regenerate build lists when image-info.json changes. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#349ci: bump image build cap 30m → 45m. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os-ci-test#24ci: widen auto-retry budget and the systemic-failure threshold. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os-ci-test#23clk: sunxi-ng: ccu_common: Replace ktime-dependent lock wait loop with udelay. by @deece in armbian/build#10119config: rockpi-e: change rkbin repository and use spl-blobs. by @chenxmqqqq in armbian/build#10027cubie-a7z: Add community support for Radxa Cubie A7Z (Allwinner A733). by @shkolnik in armbian/build#10036docs: add Datacenter access section (Netbird VPN + board access). by @igorpecovnik in armbian/documentation#936docs: document PREFER_NATIVE_ARMHF and enrich arm64-compat-vdso entry. by @iav in armbian/documentation#921docs: exclude docs/README.md from mkdocs build. by @iav in armbian/documentation#933docs: use unpinned python3-dev in setup instructions. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/documentation#935Drop testing-wireless-performance-test.yml. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#350Enable USB and PCIe on BeagleY-AI vendor kernel. by @Grippy98 in armbian/build#10115fake-ubuntu-advantage-tools: provide ubuntu-pro-client. by @Grippy98 in armbian/build#10116family-rv1106: Split RV1103G and RV1103B, cleanup overrides. by @vidplace7 in armbian/build#10011feat(api): serve QDL board metadata and proxy-cache firehose assets. by @SuperKali in armbian/website#31feat(qdl): serve the board registry from the API. by @SuperKali in armbian/imager#163firstlogin: use useradd/groupadd instead of the adduser suite. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#10127Fix swapfile creation. by @pierg75 in armbian/build#10065Fix TI K3 Suite Matching for Ubuntu Hosts and Enable GPU Acceleration for BeagleBoards. by @Grippy98 in armbian/build#10112fix: stop setting LC_ALL in armbian-lang.sh. by @saschabuehrle in armbian/build#10132Guard config-disabled static helpers to silence -Wunused-function. by @iav in armbian/wifi-rtl8852bs#9Import long-carried armbian/build regd-init fix, with authorship. by @iav in armbian/wifi-rtl8852bs#8imx6 modernization: udoo + cubox-i u-boot v2026.07 + kernel (legacy 6.12 / current 6.18 / edge 7.1). by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#10098kernel-rust: ship prebuilt Rust crate artifacts in linux-headers. by @iav in armbian/build#10117Makena: add SC8280XP firehose and Radxa Dragon Q8B UFS provisioning. by @SuperKali in armbian/qcombin#3meson64: add GPIO shared-proxy/pinctrl cansleep series (upstream v3). by @adeepn in armbian/build#10090meson64: enable v7.2-rc1 via bleedingedge. by @EvilOlaf in armbian/build#10079mixtile-edge2: u-boot: main: bump (generic) u-boot to v2026.07-rc5. by @rpardini in armbian/build#10071nanopi-r5s: u-boot: main: bump u-boot to v2026.07-rc5 + make it patch-less. by @rpardini in armbian/build#10072odroidc1: fix u-boot build on trixie (GCC 14) via config.mk -fpermissive. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#10111odroidxu4: fix u-boot build on trixie (GCC 14 implicit-decl errors). by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#10110orangepizero3w: Add community support for Orange Pi Zero 3W (Allwinner A733). by @shkolnik in armbian/build#10103recore: fix ATF v2.8.0 build -

I was wrong, the dafault baudrate is 100 kHz - the sensor is not responding at first try, when it is in sleep mode.

Hi Dodeval, so I am having trouble accessing Gemini 3.1 pro chat about this but this sounds vaguely familiar. Things that could be the cause are the "mkfs.ext4 -b 4096" option and "debootstrap --arch=arm64". Try some of these top tier models https://artificialanalysis.ai/leaderboards/models they should be able to crack the code even though you might have to wrestle a bit to get them to produce the right solution. Most things seem to work like magic I guess it is about the device tree, battery management seems fine etc.. touch needs drivers, no audio from internal speakers which is no big deal anyway as bluetooth audio works everything there works as expected. I did get this aliexpress.com/item/1005009649297050.html at a discount but I not completely get the touchpad to work comfortably with a patched input driver, a lot of miss-clicks goosh nice keyboard but still need bluetooth mouse in reality. Rii i4 Mini Bluetooth would be fine but then again it is not quite the desktop experience I was looking for.

Hi, I need help identifying the Maskrom/eMMC short points for an RK3528 TV box. Device: - TV box sold as H20 Pro - SoC confirmed as Rockchip RK3528 - Board marking: M16-R6B-L3-V1.0-260121 - RAM detected in Linux: 963 MiB - eMMC detected in Linux: 7.83 GB / 7.30 GiB - eMMC name from Linux: P1J95K - eMMC CID: fe014e50314a39354b12739109744200 What happened: - The box originally booted Android from eMMC. - Armbian booted successfully from SD using a customized joilg/x88pro-based image. - Later I wrote U-Boot/idbloader to eMMC: - idbloader.img at sector 64 - u-boot.itb at sector 16384 - After reboot, the board no longer boots from SD or eMMC. - LED stays red. - No HDMI output. - No Ethernet link/activity. - RKDevTool on Windows shows "No Devices Found". Recovery attempts: - Tried the reset/recovery button behind the AV/P2 jack while connecting power and USB. - Tried both USB ports. - Tried RKDevTool v2.86 with Rockchip drivers installed. - No Loader or Maskrom device appears. - Tried UART pads marked GND/TX/RX using ESP32-C3 as bridge, but output is not readable. Question: Can anyone identify the eMMC Maskrom short point for this board? I need to force RK3528 into Maskrom mode so I can restore the first bootloader area of the eMMC. Attached photos: - Front of board - Back of board - Macro photo of the eMMC/storage chip area - Macro photo of test pads near the storage chip

I tried to downgrade to 6.18, unfortunately it froze during the process, which left the kernel and boot loader in an incomplete state. I have decided to re-image the whole thing with 6.18.x and for now it appears to be stable again.

Your previous post reminded me that the board supplier changed the BOM of the ODROID-N2+ by using a different SPI flash vendor. He hacked the support for it into his legacy firmware build without making any further note about it. It took some effort of reverse engineering to figure that out. Mainline hasn't picked up this additional driver activation to this day, but I still keep it in my builds anyway. In my latest build for the ODROID-HC4, I also included this driver to see if they might have gone about it in the same way. But your confirmation shows that this is probably not the case. Since I don't have an ODROId-HC4 with the behavior you described on hand, I can't analyze any further what the cause of it is. These days, I also mostly avoid devices with Amlogic SoCs because of their strict closed-source policy and lack of mainline support. And the board manufacturer isn't much more helpful on this point either. Devices powered by Rockchip are much more appealing objects. So you have to help yourself if you want to find a solution.

I don't have a Desktop installed on this device (OrangePi 4LTS). I resorted to using the rtmidi C interface instead, I made a wrapper. The Pipewire documentation is hard to figure out. I guess there should be some sort of session management for Non-Desktop sessions to load stuff?

Well I gave up on it. I can't figure out how to boot anything other than armbian on NVMe and I need to boot a USB for starters. I guess I'll have to use for armbian until a cheap board with UEFI arrives. Orange Pi 6 Plus is too expensive for me.

Hi, I think swapon is not visible because you are not root. It should already be there via required package "mount". Try tu "su -" then you will "see" the command.

Hey! i had similar issues with the ES8388 analog and HDMI output path alignment on my OPi5 Plus under recent edge/mainline kernels. Sometimes the card states look fine in ALSA/pavucontrol but the streams just don't bridge to the hardware mapping properly, or the default audio levels are hitting gain issues. To test if it’s just a software-side compression or file amplification issue before diving too deep into modifying the device tree (.dts), try running a quick format check with a known sample using explicit routing- aplay -D plughw:1,0 your_audio.wav If your test files are inherently too quiet or failing to hit the threshold cleanly, you can boost them up beforehand via tools like MP3Louder just to make sure you aren't fighting low baseline source levels on top of the kernel driver bugs. If it completely stays dead silent even with clean, forced audio files, then it's definitely the device tree overlay parameters (simple-audio-card) not toggling correctly on your specific build version. Which image build date and kernel version are you currently on?

The post is from nov 2022, and OP reported it worked 2 weeks later... But good advice non the less... xD

maybe first post the output of uname -a on the raspberrypi3B+

if nand-sata-install is not maintained is there a replacement

@0757myt: Thank you so much for your clarification. I am really sorry that some parts of the guide are written too briefly. Sometime I don't know how to explain all of this messy things to new users. @hmoob I looked at your board and it seems your board doesn't have a power IC. There are just some diodes and capacitors near the DC port. May be one of them get shorted or burned but they are not really important. If you are good at soldering, you can definitely find the points for + and - pin to power the board so we will have 1 more USB port. Home Assistant need docker supports. Make sure that you are using the latest image (v1.1): https://github.com/chieunhatnang-personal/RK3128-Linux-SupportingScripts/releases/tag/kernel-6.6-armbian-26-v1.1

Since you cannot trust this EMMC, @magixx256 Here is how to get log2ram up and running, plus a quick way to double-check your storage health. 1. Install log2ram Manually Run these commands to pull the official repository, install it, and get it running: # Download and extract the latest release curl -L https://github.com/azlux/log2ram/archive/master.tar.gz | tar zx # Move into the folder and run the installer cd log2ram-master sudo ./install.sh # Clean up the installer files cd .. && rm -rf log2ram-master Reboot to Activate It For log2ram to properly hijack the logging system and mount it into RAM, you need to reboot the machine: sudo reboot Verify It's Working Once the box boots back up, run your status command again: systemctl status log2ram You should see an active (exited) status (which is normal for this service, as it just runs a script at boot to create the RAM disk). You can also verify it's actively mounting by checking your system disks: df -h | grep log2ram You'll see a line showing /var/log mapped to log2ram with a size of about 40MB or 50MB. 2. A Quick Note on System Stability Since log2ram holds your logs in memory and only writes them to your eMMC/SD card once a day (or right before a clean shutdown), a sudden power pull means you lose the logs from that day.

Please note that ophub is not Armbian. They use the Armbian name without permission, do not contribute to Armbian development nor participate in these forums. Having said that, android TV boxes are a community supported effort under Armbian. It would be appreciated if you took the time to submit a PR to include your efforts into Armbian.

I have also tried to build a new image and I am now getting a new error related to 16kb size. I have previosly had success 26.2.0 trunk 151, which was able to boot and worked quite well, Excluding known issues such as HDMI support and Fan speed needing to be adjusted with a script. Issue is that this build is no longer available. I think until we get more demand from Retroid Community we might just be out of luck
