... but at the same time, others with H3-based boards seem to have similarly high idle temps reported. @Domas Do you own one of those infrared themometers or have another way to ascertain the true temperature of your board? As the title of this thread says, I am curious about the accuracy of the onboard sensors. Maybe the sensors are even accurate but they need proper software calibration.

unsupported host os for build environment. Grant the user access to Docker or use a Noble host.

I understand this now. So autoinstalled flag does not cover base packages out of the box. I assumed that manually installed is something i have installed explicitly (as per apt install XXXX). Apparently autoinstalled is the flag that means "I was installed as a dependency only, please wipe me out whenever nothing depends on me"

Thanks for replying c0rnelius, going, sorry for the delay. Testing 507 (2 Bananapi M4 Zero images available, minimal Trixie and minimal Plucky) I got same result: - internal ethernet not recognized but adding a usb one I was able to activate network/install/upgrade - HDMI display ok but no HDMI audio (no sound cards found) - no wifi adapter found - no bluetooth adapter found - no GPU found - overlays available has no effect (tried gpu, wifi/bt) Do you know about other overlays available elsewhere? Thanks Denis - -

Ok .. sorry ... It is all "WIP" dts files / attachments. They don't work correctly on the device. (my testing files, posted in this thread, when I'm stuck "somewhere" and asking for help) ..all files like meson8b-sencor.dts, meson8m2-mxiii-plus.dts ... etc.

Hello there! I have a generic S805 TV box which, I assume, has a dead NAND memory chip. It doesn't boot and only outputs the following message over UART: QA5:B;SVN:B72;POC:3FF;STS:0;BOOT:0;INIT:0;READ:82;BOOT:1;INIT:10;USB:3;SERIAL:4;STS:0;BOOT:0;INIT:0;READ:82;BOOT:1;INIT:10;USB:3; I found firmware for a similar TV box online and extracted the bootloader.bin file from it. I then wrote it to the beginning of an SD card using dd like this: sudo dd if=bootloader.bin of=/dev/sdX Where sdX is my SD card. Now, at least, the box is trying to boot from the SD card and I can get into U-Boot. Here are the logs I see now: So, is it possible to run Armbian without a NAND chip? I can’t write the system image to the SD card because the bootloader has to be placed at the beginning of the card, and it’s quite large — it overwrites the partition table of the SD card. I tried writing the system image to a USB flash drive instead, but as you can see from the logs, U-Boot can’t initialize USB. (Re)start USB(0)... USB: dwc_usb driver version: 2.94 6-June-2012 USB (1) peri reg base: c1108820 USB (1) use clock source: XTAL input USB (1) base addr: 0xc90c0000 dwc_otg: usb_lowlevel_init: Bad value for SNPSID: 0x00000000 Error, couldn't init Lowlevel part Is this a problem with an incompatible U-Boot, or is the SoC already in very bad shape?

I am Wayland Gnome Ubuntu 22 I executed the command you gave me, but it didn't work sudo gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 0 (process:36816): dconf-WARNING **: 12:28:47.991: failed to commit changes to dconf: Cannot autolaunch D-Bus without X11 $DISPLAY

@pessimism want are the PINouts of this board? I see you have connected to it with UART. Can you please map RX/TX/GND to GREY/WHITE/BLACK based on you photo. I have tried CP2102 usb adaptor, looks like same case as you had - no transmission on 1.5Mb speed. Meanwhile ordered CH340G.

I don't know where these shortcuts link to, but I assume they both link to the same executable script which is the next generation version. I am not aware that any current Armbian image still ships the old version. So at the bottom-line there is no difference.

The correct way to modify a kernel with patches is to use - ./compile kernel-patch BOARD=... BRANCH=... - review your patches and if you are satisfied move them to patch/ or the equivalent directory under userpatches/ - ./compile.sh kernel BOARD=... BRANCH=...

moved You are using the wrong kernel branch. You need vendor 6.1.y kernel. This is also mentioned in the official documentation of Jellyfin.

my bookworm installation is now over 1 year ago, has there been any further optimization in that time that should be adopted? Which setup combination is currently the most stable? Armbian 23.08.0-trunk Bookworm with Linux 6.6.8-edge-rockchip64 user@helios64:~# uname -a Linux helios64 6.6.8-edge-rockchip64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Dec 20 16:02:07 UTC 2023 aarch64 GNU/Linux I have been successfully connecting my Helios64 to a 2.5G Unifi switch for some time now and recently noticed that it kept interrupting the transfer when transferring files via 1G client. I then deactivated the scatter/gather offloading option, but did not yet adjust the /etc/rc.local as described here...

Hello! If somebody search a resolution how to enable can interface (it`s necessery for 3d printers with can bus circuits) on orange pi distr - you can use attachment kernel conf for build image. You should palce it in `orange-build/external/config/kenrel` (with replace) or `orange-build/kernel` and load on kernel configuration. Other steps is default for building opi image: git clone https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/orangepi-build mv -f ./linux-5.15-sun55iw3-current.config ./orangepi-build/external/config/kernel cd ./orangepi-build sudo ./build.sh BOARD=orangepi4a BRANCH=current BUILD_OPT=image RELEASE=jammy BUILD_MINIMAL=no BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=n If the OS does not detect the can0 interface - check if any CAN device is connected voron@voron:~$ lsusb Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1b3f:2247 Generalplus Technology Inc.

For generating torrent files we use: - automatically generated public trackers https://trackerslist.com/#/ lists - web seeds on our servers to secure up to 70 (stable, community builds on around 10) places with 100% file availability Goal for providing torrent download option is maximizing download speed - for you! With torrent protocol, one can not have control where files are and also we don't have own trackers, but we use public ones in automatic way, thus we don't have control on which trackers our files are announced. All files are digitally signed, so nothing to worry about. Edit: if name "pirate" or something else bothers you, here you can submit a fix with some grep -v https://github.com/armbian/os/blob/main/userpatches/gha/chunks/650.per-chunk-images_job.yaml#L139 Perhaps porn and pirate ?

The orange pi zero LTS has analog video under Armbian, because: * the LibreElec project had kernel patches that added the driver code for the same SBC * I carefully modified those patches so they would fit the Armbian version of Linux, correct all compilation errors, and all errors I saw. It was a month long effort If you see that Radxa has video output in the official distribution, do you see any source changes to enable it?

Is anyone using the orange pi zero LTS or 3, with any ilitek LCD, with spi-gpio driver? I had my LTS working with ili9341 and spi-gpio last year... but the touch is not working now... I think I changed the wiring or the DTS in the running system but I can't tell.

Hi @datatech451 - glad to hear I am not alone. Yep - I fiddled with SuperCeleron, ATVx and custom launchers a few years back. I have an old pc with LibreElec around here somewhere too. But today I am no longer trying to keep Android going on this one. I moved on to Firesticks since then and the remote control is a big factor on why we stay there. But for the S912 - I am focusing on the mediaserver side and thinking of adding photo backup of my phone. I am just in the tinkering and learning phase. I've had Plex working and have been trialing Jellyfin lately. It works well to stream locally to my firesticks. Big Buck Bunny of course and it seems pretty solid. But I am not doing 4k BBB or anything. But still testing and troubleshooting random issues and craziness. In fact - I put Portainer on board. Jellyfin in a Docker. Homarr in a Docker, Grafana in a Docker, Adguard in a Docker and Cockpit... But lots of things not working exactly right but I think because I overload it. Really trying to push it to the limits just to see and learn. Burning that all down today and doing a fresh build with just what I need - Jellyfin, Cockpit and Adguard. I'm gonna skip Docker this time and I bet I get it all working well enough to learn the next level. As for cooling - I bought some extra heat sinks but never made it further. I am a little worried about pulling the existing sink off - don't want to crack the cpu. Feels more solid than thermal paste - more like thermal glue. But yes - seems to get HOT in a hurry when it is busy. This box has a heat sink plus heat tape and a piece of sheet metal. I am betting that is no longer standard build. BTW - I fiddled with my watt meter and this thing just sips... Seems to idle around 3.6 to 4.1 watts. Did some measurements during 2 hours of streaming, and did some math it seems it would only use about 2.9 kWh per month if on all the time. My spinning HDD uses more than that - could justify that SSD upgrade in the future. I found another box with a S905 (I think) in my recycle bin - I might look at optimizing that for retro gaming. We will see what happens next. Do you have a favorite gaming ROM or experience? Anyway - best of luck and keep the faith!

You can check this way: type armbian-upgrade armbian-upgrade is /usr/bin/armbian-upgrade cat /usr/bin/armbian-upgrade #!/bin/bash trap "exit" INT TERM [[ $EUID != 0 ]] && exec sudo "$0" "$@" apt update apt -y upgrade apt clean apt -y autoremove exit 0

Worked for me Enabled the Panfrost gpu driver in overlay settings in armbian-config. Just a coincidence that it was already available as an overlay option.

@svyatoslav Recommended usb wifi. https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi

I thought there should be any console output to hdmi, ok will try with uart. By the way @fensoft are you using armbian on it? is it stable?

laibsch, thanks for your answer. I tried several kernels from the 6.x.y series on Armbian, but the same error occurred in all of them. I think this error did not occur with the 4.14 series kernel downloaded from the board manufacturer's official website. However, when I built and started the 4.14.111+ kernel downloaded from the board manufacturer's github, the following error occurred. dmesg (Friendlycore linux kernel 4.14.111+) [ 2.243976] thermal thermal_zone0: failed to read out thermal zone (-16) It seems that there has been an error in the thermal driver (dts) of the allwinner H5 SoC for quite some time. I have already uninstalled Armbian and cannot take logs, so I would like to submit a bug report once I install Armbian again and can take logs.

Dear @brentr, It seems to be a common bug that keeps reappearing. And as far as I understand, it's a fix that needs to be applied to the kernel because otherwise, it won't work. Isn't there a way to make an external fix, which the user can install if needed and which can be applied to any kernel? If this bug is hardcoded, I imagine it's impossible and must be modified every time the kernel is compiled... I'm sorry I can't help much except by reporting the bug. Thank you for your contribution and the work you do, both to you and the community.

hey , i almost gave up installing armbian , thank you for your support , for last time , im gonna try this ,i can understand dtb stuffs but, could you please tell me what armbian image i should download ? or could you please share me the link , i think whole time i downloaded wrong image ,

Great choice! TBH not many people asked for add this at first run - probably as many use cases are headless / servers and people are used to just run command on their own. But agree, its one of those "nice to have". This is open source world. Anyone can contribute a feature, fix a bug. Donations are here for things that you already have. If you want feature to be fixed or added, line is very long - most of this forum is seeking for something. And there is just a few people on the other side, willing to pay with their private time for the common software maintenance. Donations, what people are willing to pay / contribute, cover less then 1% of the costs. Its a beer, not trade money. End users would destroy the project in no time, if we accept donations as a payment for the work. It is impossible to cover remaining 99%. Here and there yes, long term, no.
