Hello. BTT says what BTT Pi and CB1 is same, but realy not. Dunno why i brought what board. But now I owner of this "piece of ****" So. New board, clean install v25.11.2 for BigTreeTech CB1 running Armbian Linux 6.12.58-current-sunxi64 Packages: Debian stable (trixie) armbianEnv: overlays=gpu tft35_spi extraargs=fbcon=rotate:2 fbcon=rotate:2 for screen rotation, because armbian not from btt and didn`t have feature like param_tft35_spi_rotate Next, help me to determine how to enable UARTs and I2C From BIGTREETECH_Pi_V1.2.1 Hardware Pdf UART0: CPUX-UTX CPUX-RX UART2 (May work as i2c0): Pi5 Pi6 UART3 (May work as i2c2): Pi9 Pi10 I2C: PH6 PH7 All pins present in sun50i-h616-bigtreetech-cb1-sd, but didnt have overlays for it... I wish to stay uart0 for u-boot console any help?

Totally new to this system, need some help where to start and how to do it i have the RK3328, i verified this via AIDA, how can i install armbian system on this one can someone please help which are the correct images etc.. any steps would be highly appreciated. thanks Suz

Does this mean you have a working DTS that fixes the issue with smc starting the the other 3 CPUs successfully?

Old automated builds are not kept. Only last three releases https://github.com/armbian/community/releases Its 300Gb / week

Hi, can anyone help me with my board, I tried all 4 images from the github releases for the x96q, flashing them into sd card on windows using belenaetcher, then pluging into the box and booting it, it gets stuck at red light, the moment I eject the sd card it boots into android. am I doing something wrong or I need a specific image?

It boots but does not recognize USB keyboard input. Not possible to login.

hallo @WanJiXianSheng, responding to this image, for the SUB position where the SD card is installed, there are 3 cables, what is their function? Please share here the guide for flashing to Armbian thx..

Success! Thank you so much @Harleyyyu! It now boots perfectly off the eMCP. If anyone wants it I can write a small guide on how to do this, just to make this easier and faster for folks in the future.

Hello @Malay, et.al, after submitting my PullRQ to the Armbian repo, I think it's best to cope first with the annotations I received from that. It complains about missing board photos, and some LLM generated blurb partly valid suggestions, partly not. The current status of Armbian's Spacemit support does not make the RV2 board a good video player: GPU support is missing and I'm pretty unsure if it's possible to include the HW video encoding / decoding feature that is in the chip. Which is 4k@30 with diverse codecs according to the chip description PDF. I am glad, that X11 framebuffer video runs and I am unsure if I can proceed here b/c I am not a video / GPU / EGL / vulkan specialist. Anyhow, thank you for the pointer to the Spacemit FAQ I did not recognize until now. While the PowerVR page from mesa3d states: "no IMG BXE-2-32" (https://docs.mesa3d.org/drivers/powervr.html), the respective Gitee repo contains closed-source BSD licensed Risc64 compiled shard objects (*.so), probably similar to the Nvida binary user space closed drivers that does the GPU support for the big videos cards. This may be worth a look, but as I wrote above, prio task is to bring the support into the Armbian tree. Best // Sven-Ola

http://blog.armbian.com/content/images/2026/01/githubhighlights-2-2.webpThis week’s Armbian development saw a wide range of updates focused on automation, hardware support, and workflow improvements. Key highlights include the introduction of automatic YAML target generation, expanded support for Hetzner ARM64 runners, and enhancements to the redirector update workflow with cache mirror support. Several board-specific fixes and feature additions were made, including improved power cycle handling for meson-sm1 devices and new binary files for RK35 series components. The team also advanced kernel support, notably enabling RDNA2 GPU compatibility and initial kernel 6.18 support for Ayn odin2. Continuous integration and build reliability received attention through Docker-based unit tests and improved artifact management. Overall, these changes reflect ongoing efforts to streamline development processes and broaden hardware compatibility across the Armbian ecosystem.

so whats the status on this issue is it resolved by running the rolling forky release and using network manager ?

Endless loop booting Image. I download Image form source: https://dl.armbian.com/odroidxu4/Bookworm_current_minimal-omv Flash Image with Rufus-4.11 --> no problem insert sd-card in odroid hc1 --> blue LED is flashing I ping to odroid with windows 'ping odroid -t -w 100' --> replied 10 seconds, then there was no response for 40 seconds, and it repeated, I wait 30 minutes. I use Image from archive without OpenMedaivault --> Booting Ok I install OMV 7.0 manually described following link: https://docs.openmediavault.org/en/7.x/installation/on_debian.html in first view everything seem fine BUT: after restart and save settings to SD-card --> odroid restarts after 20 seconds, if you do anything with huge load, it restarts, even 'apt update' or 'apt upgrade" I did several tests, buy a new SD-card try 3 different cards, remove hard drive remove PCB and renew thermal interface material, nothing helps. I installed it 5 to 10 times and I did the installation in different ways. Also nothing helps. I use my old working sd-card and I did some test, it works properly. (old means: installation is 2-3 years old) I try 'armbianmonitor -m' --> output: 23:30:52 600/2000 MHz 0.66 19% 6% 11% 0% 0% 1% 37.0 °C 0/3 The frequency changes depending on the load, I used stress -c 8 --> frequencey 1400/2000MHz -> works perfect I try Debian 12 (Bookworm) with OpenMediaVault from armbian download page. (Build Date: Jan 19, 2026) I try 'armbianmonitor -m' --> output: 22:10:52 200/200 MHz 0.66 19% 6% 11% 0% 0% 1% 24.0 °C 0/3 The frequency was always at 200/200MHz. I think I found the error in '/etc/default/cpufrequtils Both values are "0". MAX_SPEED="0" MIN_SPEED="0" I compare it with my old working sd-card. The values there: MAX_SPEED="2000000" MIN_SPEED="600000" I Update the Image: I 'unxz' the image that I had downloaded from armbian page, 'losetup' it, 'mount' the partition and change the value in 'cpufrequtils' to MAX_SPEED="2000000" MIN_SPEED="600000". I 'xz' the image, flash it to my sd-card and now the images works on my Odroid XU4/HC1 perfect. Is this a bug?

I think this is the First version of this board, please use the official release for this https://github.com/armbian/community/releases/ if it doesn't work https://forum.armbian.com/topic/28895-efforts-to-develop-firmware-for-h96-max-v56-rk3566-8g64g/#findComment-183131 ask @Evgenii Egorenko

@shexplorer here are the first 10MB of the internal emmc. Extracted with dd if=/dev/mmcblk1 count=10 bs=1M | gzip > x88pro13_first_10MB_of_mmcblk.gz. please unzip first. see also the solutuion of this page: x88pro13_first_10MB_of_mmcblk1.gz

@user03 Given that you now have a working uboot installed on the emmc, I'm 95% confident that following the standard instructions will let you move your SD card install to emmc. But there are no guarantees.

You can set conditions on which branch uses which uboot. Like this: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/9aa6e1e29ec2d397bbe223bebaa93bd13ef79818/config/boards/orangepi5-max.csc#L21 If the BRANCH is edge, then use mainline uboot, specifically this tag.

Good afternoon. I have a Rockchip 3566 tablet.oscal pad 70 wifi Is it possible to install Armbian on it? I don't have a device tree (I couldn't find anything at all for the WiFi module except the test report), no drivers, nothing. I've found a related one (the letters at the end are slightly different), but there's a little information. The original Pineta B2 costs 159, plus shipping and taxes...that's 300. But the aforementioned one costs 100 and doesn't require taxes! That's what got me thinking. Prices are in dollars. The bootloader can apparently be unlocked with a simple command (according to Google Assistant!) I need the tablet for learning Linux and watching videos in the browser...will it handle it? Is this even possible for a beginner? Best regards and gratitude... I'm writing using Google Translate, so there may be some inaccuracies... I apologize for that! motherboard R863T-RK3566-DK-V1.0 wifi module wxt42j1001s I don't know what kind of touchscreen and display it has. Will I need to unlock the bootloader? I understand it's probably very difficult...isn't the processor too old for our times? Or is installing Armbian probably not an option, and shouldn't I waste my time on it and buy something else? Thanks from the bottom of my heart to everyone who responded.

It looks like mksclient is python code can be patched. Sovol3D forum Enable LED light toggle in Mainsail I followed the steps and was able to get an LED toggle in Mainsail on my SV06 Ace I did loose the touchscreen control of the LED but that's acceptable. I only need the LED when using the Camera to check for Failed prints and previously left the LED on during printing. Now I can save a little electricity😀. To me this also has pertinent implications to the thread. mksclient must be a python blob that can runs on boot. If were willing to tolerate the "black box" close source nature of mksclient, a touch screen supporting build, targeting the OEM electronics, should be possible.

Hello, thk work fine on my X88 pro13 Here is : Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.332_Hinlink-ht2_noble_vendor_6.1.115_gnome_desktop.img Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.332_Hinlink-ht2_noble_vendor_6.1.115_gnome_desktop.img

By any chance, could someone post a link to a working image for Cubox I? I'm trying to find any working Armbian build and there is nothing that works. Thanks!

What happens if your start armbian-resize-filesystem.service manually? IE "sudo systemctl start armbian-resize-filesystem.service" and then check the log for the service?

You can create an extension including something like unset armbian_kernel_config__force_pa_va_48_bits_on_arm64
