For the longest time I have struggled with Timezone for Iceland in Armbian. The initial Armbian config has Europe -> and then places in Europe, in this list then it even has exotic places like Jan Mayen and or Swalbard (I forgot which ?). But it does not have Iceland at all. I know at this point in time (at initial install you can manually enter in some time zone format also). If you go in Armbian Config after it has been installed then the Armbian Config tool only displays Cities, so at this point in time you have missed the chance to enter it in the time zone format. Iceland uses UTC / GMT0, as in same time as London half of the year, but differs by one hour the other half since we do not have daylight savings like they have. I guess what I am asking for is something equal to this in the setup windows both in intial setup and in the Armbian Config sudo timedatectl set-timezone Atlantic/Reykjavik

so im currently running v25.11.2 for Orange Pi 5 running Armbian Linux 6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx did i will get same problem if upgrade to the latest build?

how do you solve this man? im also have this issue using v25.11.2 for Orange Pi 5 running Armbian Linux 6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx im using official power adapter. so i guess nothing wrong with my power. can we fix this without reinstalling the entire os? i have several running container and services.

As someone not familiar with all the ins and outs of GPL specifically, how does GPL in the armbian/build project play with userpatches? Is it expected that a commercial hardware device using Armbian would need to open-source the customize-image.sh script? Thanks!

Here are the modified latest official Armbian-supported images for Radxa Zero 3W/3E. Everything works for me, including hardware-accelerated YouTube playback in Chromium (however, with a caveat): Armbian_26.2.1_hk1-rbox-r3_trixie_vendor_6.1.115_minimal.img.xz Armbian_26.2.1_hk1-rbox-r3_noble_vendor_6.1.115_gnome_desktop.img.xz MD5: 28654e87a39ac3e0b2bec4ce4211f5ca *Armbian_26.2.1_hk1-rbox-r3_noble_vendor_6.1.115_gnome_desktop.img.xz ce74829c43c6d27b02bdf314580c4dc4 *Armbian_26.2.1_hk1-rbox-r3_trixie_vendor_6.1.115_minimal.img.xz What you MUST do after installing Armbian: Freeze auto-updates for the bootloader and DTB (kernel updates are OK, except for these two packages since we use a different bootloader, not for Radxa Zero 3): sudo apt-mark hold linux-u-boot-radxa-zero3-vendor linux-dtb-vendor-rk35xx Install dependencies for hardware-accelerated playback Youtube in Chromium: sudo apt update sudo apt install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra ffmpeg In Chromium, install the enhanced-h264ify extension. Then, in the extension's options, leave only AV1 disabled (i.e., enable VP8 and VP9). Screenshots: Instructions on how to modify any Armbian image yourself: Source: 4PDA

@BoringNameHave you tried building a new image? Use the image and kernel headers from that specific build. I believe the problem exists because the DTS source was updated after the header release. I updated the linux kernel headers. https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/releases/download/20250306/linux-headers-edge-sunxi64_25.05.0-trunk_arm64__6.12.11-S62b2-Da873-P6755-C1a9bH02eb-HK01ba-Vc222-B9bbb-R448a.deb

This repo is a bit behind what you are running. drm has been changed to v4l2request. I'm going to assume you have hwdec=v4l2request in your mpv.conf file.

So we are perhaps looking at potential changes on SSH app / encrypting introduced in Debian Trixie? That affects certain clients. On Armbian side - we didn't change anything in this regard. Eventually we will get down to why this doesn't work. Software developers have to learn how to live with constant frustration. It never goes away ...

I always use minimal CLI and deploy k3s. Might be the request amounts are too many or who knows. But the service hangs and stops working. Just my 2 cents.

Maybe this comment and thread have a hint for you https://forum.armbian.com/topic/47971-driving-the-ili9488-lcd-40-inch-cheap-chinese-clone/#findComment-229274 I don't own a waveshare LCD... but I would also like to know if its possible to make it work with Armbian

I'm on the current Debian Trixie build Armbian 26.2.1 Minimal / IOT, and Wifi is not working. What are the current suggestions to get it back up on BigTreeTech CB1?

Looks like the same adjustment that was made for EDGE needs to be done so for CURRENT.

Sorry for my late reply (been very busy in the last couple of days). No, reboot does not work either: same freeze. Anyway it's a software issue and that's unfortunate for Armbian, because shut down and reboot for my device work flawlessly with CoreElec. I hope in a future improvement.

Thanks for the advice.

I'm back Asking for help on Radxa discord i got the answer to check for the FPC ("Flexible Printed Circuit") cable pin orientation and run lspci next. Turns out it was the cable all along, lspci returned: # lspci 00:00.0 PCI bridge: Rockchip Electronics Co., Ltd Device 3576 (rev 01) 01:00.0 SATA controller: ASMedia Technology Inc. ASM1062 Serial ATA Controller (rev 02) and lsblk shows: # lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS sda 8:0 0 4.5T 0 disk └─sda1 8:1 0 4.5T 0 part sdb 8:16 0 223.6G 0 disk └─sdb1 8:17 0 223.6G 0 part mtdblock0 31:0 0 16M 0 disk mmcblk1 179:0 0 59.5G 0 disk ├─mmcblk1p1 179:1 0 16M 0 part /config ├─mmcblk1p2 179:2 0 300M 0 part /boot/efi └─mmcblk1p3 179:3 0 59.2G 0 part / zram0 253:0 0 1.9G 0 disk [SWAP] So now it works and i can carry on with making my NAS 😇

Probably the easiest way to assess chances is to submit PR.

Support for Rockchip’s VDPU381 and VDPU383 decoders is now upstream in Linux, bringing mainline H.264/HEVC decode support, robust IOMMU-reset recovery, and new HEVC V4L2 UAPI controls aligned with Vulkan Video. View the full article

Hello ik316q-emcp_v6.0 full dump please

Hello. After burning Efuse to the Nanopi Neo Core, I can't boot from emmc. It works from the SD card, so I try loading everything into emmc: spl, uboot. But spl doesn't find u-boot, as far as I understand. I'm using the u-boot and dts config from the Nanopi Neo, with some edits to mmc2, since it's not available in the Neo. U-Boot SPL 2024.07 (Feb 25 2026 - 15:51:42 +0300) DRAM: 512 MiB Trying to boot from MMC1 CMD_SEND:0 ARG 0x00000000 MMC_RSP_NONE CMD_SEND:8 ARG 0x000001aa RET -110 CMD_SEND:55 ARG 0x00000000 RET -110 CMD_SEND:0 ARG 0x00000000 MMC_RSP_NONE CMD_SEND:1 ARG 0x00000000 RET -110 Card did not respond to voltage select! : -110 spl: mmc init failed with error: -95 SPL: failed to boot from all boot devices ### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###

Well don't know exactly how the board got bricked, but I would guess the armbian-config did not flash the SPI right and somehow my SD card got screwed too. armbian-install did it right. I was able to get it back by using the rkdeveloptool tool from my mac mini. For whoever runs into this problem this is what I had to do: Get a usb-c cable connected to the "DP Display Port" and connect to another machine to troubleshoot, disconnect the power source before you do this. Before you connect the cable, press the Maskrom button. This should allow you to access the SPI from your troubleshooting machine. I played around with the windows tool RKDevTool with no luck. I ended up compiling rkdeveloptool in my mac mini m4 and this one did work. Anywho, once you have the board hooked up and in Maskrom mode, you need to get your hands on the SPI Loader *.bin. It's somewhere in the resources page of radxa. The one I used is rk3588_spl_loader_v1.15.113.bin. After this you flash the board with the following commands: The following command should show you the board info and confirm it's connected in Maskrom mode. ./rkdeveloptool ld ./rkdeveloptool db rk3588_spl_loader_v1.15.113.bin ./rkdeveloptool ef ./rkdeveloptool rd This allowed me to boot again from SD, even though I had to reflash the SD because somehow it also went bad. Not sure if it was because of all the testing or armbian-config screwed it up. After all this, I was booting again, and I did an armbian-install to move again the content of the SD to the nvme. I again, did an install/update MTD flash and boot from MTD first and this time around it all worked. I'm able to boot from SD first and if not SD is present it boots from NVME.

@Nick A Thank you very much. Newbies will try. 😅

Hello! Are there any plans for a stable minimal/IOT release for the Rock 4D, and if so, what’s the timetable? Thanks!

I have installed fresh Armbian IOT community image for Orangepi 5 Max on my Opi5Ultra. Generally works fine, but connected camera (OV13850) not properly works. Via gst-launch I got dark images. Only flashlight or lamp can see on image. In original Orangepi 5 Ultra OS image this issue can be fixed by disabling docker and containerd services and sockets. But Armbian system has not any docker or contanerd services. Can you help me fix this issue? I am going try other cameras - OV9281 and IMX415 and I not have overlays for it. Can somebody publish .dtbo files for those cameras?

@DaBo no, sorry, no progress on my side. But I also have to admit that I did not had the time to mess around with it some more.

ok thanks.
