Hi all, If anyone is interested, I have a Helios64 backup battery pack lying around that I did order back in the day, but never got around to installing/using it. (Have a separate UPS.) From my guess this thing is <6 years old, but again, never seen any charge or discharge. PM me when interested. Groetjes

@Nguyễn Tất Hùng If you want to use Armbian, you should start here: https://www.armbian.com/amlogic-s9xx-tv-box/ And specifically look at the link to the Status of TV Boxes on Armbian information.

What about the speed? iperf3 report about 55-58 Mbits/sec

@robertoj there are some 'old' stuff that may not be fully relevant but still useful this gist likely helps: https://gist.github.com/ag88/de02933ba65500376d1ff48e504b1bf3 an 'old' post: Note that currently in the minimal image netplan is set to systemd-networkd https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Networking/#minimal-images I'm less familiar with systemd-networkd, though it is possible to setup the network fully with it. What i did currently, is to update netplan config as above to use NetworkManager After that I use NetworkManger to setup a bridge adding the ethernet interface. https://gist.github.com/ag88/de02933ba65500376d1ff48e504b1bf3 . However, I actually make NetworkManager *unmanage* the Wifi interface, because i'm using hostapd. Then I install and configure hostapd as described in the gist, and during startup, hostapd actually patch the wifi interface into the bridge that is setup with NetworkManager.. The configuration for wifi AP is completely done in hostapd.conf as described in the gist. I'm using a bridge as DHCP is managed from my gateway router, hence I did not run a separate DHCP server instance in Orange Pi Zero 3 itself. An alternative setup is to setup NAT (network address translation) on the Orange Pi Zero 3 and to run a DHCP server on the Orange Pi Zero 3 itself. I think NAT approach is 'more common' I'm using hostapd, but I think without hostapd, it is also possible to setup an AP using NetworkManager alone. i.e. to let Network Manager manage the Wifi interface, and configure it as an AP. The benefit here is that Network manager woulld likely manage the DHCP and NAT as well all from Network Manager configurations. As I'm doing everything from the command line, I used NetworkManager cli (nmcli) for all the network manager configuration tasks. Note that while messing with networking, it is necessary to work in the serial debug console using a usb-uart dongle. i.e. bootup and login as root using a usb-uart dongle to the 3 'debug' pins for the serial console.

@ScoreABSM I don't think that is the reason? No, I haven't solved the Bluetooth issue. I have theories, but I still haven't cracked the nut. You are more than welcome to give it a whirl

Nice Are you going to use apps that will need high fps? If so, comment about the performance. Does the touch function feel steady and reliable? (dragging windows without jumpiness, with the stylus) The app for keyboard emulation with touch screen is "matchbox", if you need it.

Hi ok, I got a bit deeper. I installed the Armbian build framework and compiled the kernel. ./compile.sh build BOARD=uefi-x86 BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=no BUILD_MINIMAL=yes KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes RELEASE=noble ENABLE_EXTENSIONS= Then I got 3 deb files: - I installed the first 2 (libc-dev was complaining) and then I could compile and load the zfs module (and also the dummydriver)! At first I used KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no with the compile script, and gave me 3 deb files from the ghcr.io/armbian/os/ repository without compiling the kernel, but these don't work! Notice also the sizes of the deb files are much smaller. I compared the 2 .config files of the one from the repository and the one that was compiled:

@Igor, all just like to say that I installed Armbian_community_25.8.0-trunk.228_Orangepizero3_bookworm_current_6.12.30_minimal.imgArmbian_community_25.8.0-trunk.228_Orangepizero3_bookworm_current_6.12.30_minimal.img from the boards page https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero-3/ apt update works 'out of the box', no PUBKEY errors thanks for the the updates @vtech, you may like to try the same for orange pi zero 2

Hi, thank you for your comments, at least I learned about the SysRq sequence this way. I actually have no clue which process should send this sequence, an hardware issue of the RX line seems also unlikely to me (very short wire to the RS232-USB converter). The only additional observations: -it is a rare event, 24x7 system, most recent events: Jun 9th: at the end of a shutdown sequence Jun, 5th: no obviously related entries in syslog before it May, 28th: no obviously related entries in syslog before it May, 24th: at the end of a shutdown sequence May, 23rd: at the end of a shutdown sequence May 22nd: at the end of a shutdown sequence -it always occurs in pairs, timestamps separated by some µs, e.g. 16:50:49.191219 and 16:50:49.191355 Meanwhile on v25.5.1 for Banana Pi Pro running Armbian Linux 6.12.30-current-sunxi. I guess I will have to live with this effect, which is not harmful as long as the system continues to run. Greetings.

does orange pi zero2W support the headsets with built in microphone or not? I do not see any MICINN in the 24 pin connector?

Here are some:https://github.com/armbian/community/releases/

I have the same problem, and for me it seems unrelated to kernel revisions. I have a whole bunch of Orange Pi Zeros, all running the same kernel and all with the same updated packages. However, the ones that run from old SD cards and have been updated from earlier releases, they reboot fine, while those that running from relatively recently flashed SD cards struggle and halt instead of reboot. Since this is super annoying, I wish to find out what's causing this, so I will do some diffing between the systems to see if I can find the culprit.

Most likely USB OTG unless there are any USB related errors in the kernel log. In the case of OTG, there should be auto detection via the ID pin which sets the device role but I have never known this to work. Fortunately it is possible to set the mode manually to host in the device tree. I tend to use the following device tree overlay: /dts-v1/; /plugin/; /{ compatible = "allwinner,sun4i-a10", "allwinner,sun7i-a20"; fragment@0{ target = <&usb_otg>; __overlay__{ dr_mode = "host"; }; }; }; just connect via serial or ssh, once logged in use nano and paste in the text above. Save it as something like sun4i-usb-host.dts. Then run armbian-add-overlay sun4i-usb-host.dts. This automatically compiles the overlay and places it /boot/dtb/overlay-user/ The RAM may just need fine tuning slightly. As far as I know it is not possible to adjust the RAM frequency in uboot once compiled, only check clock rate via sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/clk/pll-ddr/clk_rate. I might have to try that on my pcDuino2, I didn't think the A10 would be powerful enough to run Octoprint. All the best Ryzer

If you are on a relatively recent kernel, the kernel probably already has support, but the default DTB has it disabled. This is from a bookworm nightly build for a radxa zero 3 ~$ grep rknpu /usr/lib/modules/6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx/modules.builtin kernel/drivers/rknpu/rknpu.ko However, it's disabled in the DTB by default $ cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/npu@fde40000/status disabled For the board that I am using, the vendor publises a DTO source that enables it at https://github.com/radxa-pkg/radxa-overlays/blob/main/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/overlays/rk3568-npu-enable.dts Which works well with armbian-add-overlay. Though you may need to make a similar overlay for your DTB if it is different enough. Note that the NPU in the 3566 and 3568 are interoperable.

Here some troubles are expected ... Can you try manual steps to install docker by follow: https://github.com/armbian/configng/blob/main/tools/modules/software/module_docker.sh#L26-L56 installing packages, adding to group, adding docker bridge. This might reveal more. BTW. My F3 died - waiting for replacement.

Ok, I was able to boot on maskrom mode! I had to cut the bottom shield (it is soldered, but I'm not using lora anymore so I didn't care). Just cut the shield right beneath the eMMC chip, and you'll uncover some pads. Short-circuit the middle big one (clk) in the attached photo with any gnd point, and plug the thing. That made the magic for me.

Hello, first of all, I’d like to thank everyone for the post and your contributions! My problem is simple: I have an H96 Mini 4K Ultra HD, with CPU RK3228A, OS: Android 9.0, RAM: 2.0 GB, and ROM: 16 GB. I installed the ArmBian system on it; but then I decided to reinstall the original ROM. However, during the step sudo rkdeveloptool db rk322x_loader_v1.10.238_256.bin, I mistakenly flashed the original system image instead. Now, the device shows no sign of life — it's not recognized by either Linux or Windows. What should I do?

Description There is a drawback to configuring audio routing using asound.state. Although you can specify the device of the axg-sound card via commands to output sound to either HDMI or the internal speaker, in a desktop environment, there is only one analog output (defaulting to HDMI). This is because the device actually has only one sound card. By using ALSA UCM to manage sound instances and audio routing, you can freely choose between HDMI or the built-in speaker output in a desktop environment. This is because PipeWire/WirePlumber will parse ALSA UCM and create sinks.

Description Add initial support for board Luckfox Nova W. Luckfox Nova W is recently produced board on SoC Rockchip RK3308B: 4 x Cortex-A35 CPU, 512 RAM, 8 GB eMMC. It also has Ethernet, WIFI & BT, USB-A and USB-C ports, soldered microphone. Product page: https://www.luckfox.com/Luckfox-Nova?ci=646 But beware: it is very fresh board, has almost no documentation and only buildroot SDK with kernel 5.10 is available from vendor. Documentation I decided to create separate directory for vendor kernel patches. This kernel must be the same as rk35xx-vendor-6.1, but this SoC is not RK35XX. Used U-Boot is mainline. Instead of DKMS AIC8800 driver I enabled the one from kernel sources, because I needed to apply patches to it. And image builds faster than with DKMS. UART4 is used for serial console and by proprietary firmware blobs. How Has This Been Tested?

i answered in your thread.

If you are talking about lag with discord webpage, vpu accel won't help because there is no video played in discord. You can check chromium's gpu status at chrome://gpu, see if the gpu driver is working. My ppa only packages chromium for noble, ubuntu 25.04 is not supported. While chromium in my ppa only add patches to let chromium use vpu when playing videos, this should not help improving discord webpage performance.
