@alexc @humanus Here is the UART log get from the image for which I published the SHA256. UART_log.md

And same on odroid m2

Hello. I installed armbian trixie on orangepzero 2w. OK. I'd like to install Homeassistant on this machine. I went to armbian-config -> Software -> HomeAutomation -> Home Assistant. Installation went smooth< as far as I see. Then I asked to reboot system to enable AppArmor. I did that. After reboot I tried to connect to the machine via Firefox http://192.168.1.16:8123 Nothing happened. Should I issue some commands or do some actions to continue installation? Thanks you you advance. Alexei

This week's work centers on release and CI infrastructure, board and U-Boot updates, and build framework hardening. On the release pipeline, asset manifest JSON is now emitted alongside uploads, third-party armbian-images.json sources are merged into the main download index, and dispatch chains were rewired so that build completion fans out cleanly to download-index regeneration and website sync. Ubuntu resolute (26.04) entered the daily build matrix, with corresponding prepare-host adjustments for its qemu-user packaging and a targeted blacklist for boards failing resolute plus GNOME. The new Armbian SDK images are now surfaced on the website and ship preloaded with the build framework, code-server, and developer tooling. On the platform side, U-Boot v2026.04 lands for Helios4, Rock-5B-Plus, Rock-5T, and NanoPi-M5 (with mainline UFS via a vendor-SPL hybrid), while new bleedingedge branches were introduced for rockchip64 and meson64. Initial support arrived for the Photonicat2 board, new RK3576 SPL and RK3588 DDR blobs were added, Panthor firmware expanded to cover additional Mali GPUs, and a PCIe LTSSM timeout fix improves cold-boot NVMe detection on Rockchip. NanoPC-T6 LTS Plus was renamed, panther-x2 moved from CSC to EOS, and odroidxu4-current advanced to 6.6.138. In the build framework, an unsafe eval was replaced with declare -g and namerefs, destructive commands were properly quoted, and Docker --privileged is now gated behind an explicit DOCKER_PRIVILEGED toggle. The desktop configuration tree migrated to the armbian-config module_desktops system, kernel build failures now propagate exit codes correctly, missing BOOT_FDT_FILE surfaces as an error alert, and SysRq-via-BREAK was restored on dw-apb-uart for mvebu-6.18 and rockchip64-7.0 kernels. #Armbian #EmbeddedLinux #UBoot #Rockchip #SBC #LinuxKernel Changes(#9400 P1b) Replace unsafe eval with declare -g

I just checked and Orange Pi 5 is capable of DP mode over usb-c. I assume that patch has been tested and if it works (I might test it myself some time in near future) it is worth to keep.

Quite a while ago I added GPIO names to the rock-3a. Perhaps you can get an idea how to do this. Source: https://docs.radxa.com/en/rock3/rock3a/hardware-design/hardware-interface#gpio-interface Implementation: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/7403/changes

@Gwainer try these images https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/releases/tag/20250306

@SecLyzer You can find everything you need here

@jamesharton the Armbian images have been refreshed with the new DDR binary. Also thanks for sharing the pic.

I created this account just to thank you, man. Thank you so much, it worked perfectly here. Finally, my old TV box has another use besides collecting dust.

Hi Werner. I have done so already around half an hour ago.

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

That's default Debian behavior. Ubuntu includes sbin in PATH afaik. In any case Armbian does not alter this.

Hi guys, I too have one of these paperweights I'd like to use for a real HA instance to have as a backup if my actual server takes a dump. I was hoping for root access as I'm not a novice when it comes to custom bootloader and roms on other devices but this is a whole different monster. Any tips would be appreciated.

Just as an update, for anyone who cares. The above setup worked well, but I couldn't help but attempting to get video hardware acceleration in a browser. Since my post above, Armbian support for the Nanopi R6S went platinum (thanks to @Efe Çetin), kernel 7 came out and mesa 26 should provide all that is needed for vaapi/v4l2 support in firefox. Unfortunately, minimal Armbian Debian with kernel 7 combined with mesa 26 looks to be some time away - that would allow me to run sway, and likely with firefox using video decode acceleration. OTOH, vendor kernel at 6.1 doesn't seem to allow sway to run at all. So I tried Armbian Debian 13 minimal with kernel 6.18, which runs sway just fine, but the mesa version is stuck at 25.2 which in the standard Debian package does not by default support the rockchip hardware yet, I think. In addition, there seems to be some incompatibility with the repository provided here (or I am doing something wrong, which I wouldn't deny). Fortunately, looking at the Armbian git files I saw that the standard Armbian Ubuntu Noble with vendor 6.1 and Gnome (KDE version doesn't run well) appears to a) work fine with wayland, and b) automatically uses the Amazingfate (liujianfeng1994) PPA. This provides chromium with video hardware decode support, and I can still set up jellyfin. So at this point, without having to compile everything myself from scratch, this is the best setup from my perspective. Shout out to @Efe Çetin for making it this convenient - which it truly is, even though Gnome isn't my preferred DM.

I have a Orange Pi Zero2W with Armbian. I flashed a SD-card, and then I copy the system and boot to a usb- hdd (sda) and the system boot to sda Want hdd because It write much data and USB 2 don't take mush more speed. But I get a warning about a file-error or something so I run fsck on sda(hdd) that was a systemdisk, but when I run I choose to do it read-only, but anyway it does not boot any more. I think I can take the usb-hdd and run fsck from another computer? I have one system with Ubuntu on a Intel 6 gen, and Raspberry pi 500 and 5. The Pi-machine have raspberry-pi OS and the other Ubuntu 24.04.Does the machine or system have any significans? Or is there another fix to fix so the /boot on SD-card can find sda on USB? /Cheers /Edit. I posted under Orange Pi Zero2, but that was wrong place, and get moved, but at the same time get my thread classed as solved, but the solving was just to get the question on right place. I have also cleared my question a little bit and I can not take away the other.

I started to have similar issue with recent rolling release (after 26.2.1) mainline kernels: 6.18.2x, 7.0.x, 7.1.0-rc. https://paste.armbian.com/yobewudugo The log seems having all previous boot logs of this board and 6.18.10, 6.18.8 and 6.1.115 can enumerate NVMe SSD but others can't. I did a PCI rescan with 7.1.0-rc2 after booting the board and NVMe SSD was found and corresponding kernel log can be found in the 1st kernel log. I have Armbian image on SD card, btw. sudo bash -c "echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan"
