Just use dd (on linux) or balea etcher (windows/mac) to write the armbian image to an sdcard.

@MeJune You can check out my work starting with the 'Add warpme kernel 6.17' commit here: https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/commits/v20251014/ I’m using warpme patches from his minimyth2 repo, though I’ve modified them to ensure they apply correctly. I also used my own patches for Transpeed, as his implementation differs from mine. u-boot: https://github.com/warpme/minimyth2/tree/master/script/bootloaders/u-boot-aw/files https://github.com/warpme/minimyth2/blob/master/script/bootloaders/u-boot-aw/Makefile kernel: https://github.com/warpme/minimyth2/tree/master/script/kernel/linux-6.19/files https://github.com/warpme/minimyth2/blob/master/script/kernel/linux-6.19/Makefile An easier way to do this is to create a board config and use the official Armbian patch set. While Transpeed is already mainlined, the implementation is incomplete. You will still need a patch to include your missing Transpeed DTS nodes. If you are happy with 6.17, then use this build: https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/commits/v20251014/ This build generates a kernel .deb package in output/debs. You can use it to upgrade your existing Armbian installation. I haven't tried this myself, so I make no promises that it will work; please ensure you have a backup before proceeding. Backing Up the SD Card (from another PC) The most reliable way to back up an SD card is to create a full disk image on a separate computer. sudo dd if=/dev/sdX of=armbian_backup.img bs=1M status=progress If your system is running on eMMC, you can back it up to an external USB or SD card using built-in Armbian tools. Using armbian-ddbr: Many Armbian builds include this utility specifically for eMMC backup/restore. Boot Armbian from an external SD card (so the eMMC is not in use). Run the command: sudo armbian-ddbr. Select the backup option to create a compressed image of your internal storage. Using armbian-config: Some versions offer a "Backup" or "Clone" option under the System or Maintenance menus

i recently purchased an orange pi 5 plus 16gb with the wifi / bt card, the aluminum wifi case, fan and 1tb ssd. when i go to the official website i see different images there none of which seem to work 100%. i mean i was able to get each up and running but what i noticed is that the graphical drivers would not load. i saw a youtube video claiming armbian has the right driver support for the mali 610 gpu. can someone assist me getting this to work? im big into emulation gaming and right now it doesnt even have Vulkan support i crave. someone help thanks

@Nick A You previously taught how to build an image for Transpeed 8k618-t. If I want to replace the default version kernel with a newer kernel. Could I tell you if there's a way to create one?

Boot with serial attached and see if the DRAM is being properly detected. If not this patch would appear to solve the issue. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-sunxi/2813637.mvXUDI8C0e@jernej-laptop/T/#t

You should pipe the output from a serial console cable to another computer where you store it. Make sure kernel cmdline loglevel=7 AFAIR the OPI5+ can only use 5V as input supply power. Your 100W PSU might be a standard spec one so it does only deliver 3A at 5V. This might be a perfect 5.000V, but an extra cable in between will drop that a bit and the risk is then that short higher power drap will either make the 5V goo too low and/or the PSU will cut the power because more than 3A drawn during a short peak. You will need to look at powering first. Usually 5V only SBC's can be powered via other input then the USB-C input. You need to read the instruction for your OPI5+, and also OPi5, those might be different. OPI5+ and also OPi5 should transcode at more or less the same speed, large amount of memory does not really matter as it is just HW processing blocks doing the work in a rather limited memory space. You should do a manual CLI jellyfin-ffmpeg based transcode, see /var/log/jellyfin how commandline arguments for that specific video look like (and simplify it, output to 1 file instead of chunks m3u8). And or search this forum, I at least have posted examples for check/test earlier. You might also try to reproduce it with a publiclicy know video, look for big buck bunny test vids or so.

I am running Ubuntu 24.04 Noble (Armbian Linux 6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx) and no additional packages affecting VPU performance have been installed; everything is stock. Jellyfin is running in Docker, and transcoding works perfectly, except for some movies. I tried to play a 4K video in Chrome (native HEVC support), set the bitrate to 40mbps, and the video played normally at a transcoding speed of about 3x, but after a while, Orange Pi crashed. In Firefox inside neko (where there is no hardware acceleration and HEVC), the crash happened even faster, after ~2 seconds of playback. The crash happens as if the board loses power: journalctl is not saved, nothing is visible via ssh. I use a 100W Baseus GaN Pro Desktop Power Strip (model CCGAN100-1ACE) and the Orange Pi is the only device connected to it. I also have a 100W cable that shows the current consumption in watts. During transcoding, it showed 10, and then the board hard rebooted again, so I don't think this is related to power issues. Before that, I used Ubuntu 24.04 from Joshua Riek, and there was a problem with the Mali driver crashing under heavy load or simply after a while. A similar hard reboot also occurred if the driver was “too slow” to crash. Here is Jellyfin's video info: ffprobe: I also have a 4 GB model of Orange Pi 5 (not B), and there were no problems with transcoding this video; it was just slow due to the small amount of RAM. I don't even know where to start. What should I do to at least understand the cause of this issue?

Hi Gaetano, I'd be suprised if Buster did work with such a newer kernel. dwc2 is Pi specific and will not work on Allwinner/Sunxi hardware. The OTG usb controller is completely different, please see the wiki: https://linux-sunxi.org/USB_OTG_Controller_Register_Guide Overlays will only load overlays found in /boot/dtb/overlay/ while user defined ones exist in /boot/overlay-user/ As expected otg is the default mode, firstly those warnings are normal when decompiling the dtb back dts as not everything gets translated back. For small modifications you can use sudo armbian-add-overlay which compiles the overlay and places it within /boot/overlay-user This problem seems to occur every now and again in some kernel releases, please refer to here: for a solution. I would refer back to the board schematic before adjusting the dts. On the Pcduino2 and Pcduino3, the OTG micro USB passes through a small resistor rather than a fuse so causes a slight voltage drop. Just make sure that you have a good quality lead that ensures the board gets 5V but slightly over is better. sudo armbianmonitor -m Stop monitoring using [ctrl]-[c] Time CPU load %cpu %sys %usr %nice %io %irq Tcpu PMIC DC-IN C.St. 22:19:42 960 MHz 0.39 14% 9% 5% 0% 0% 0% 33.7 °C 30.2 °C 5.34V 0/6^C Best of luck Ryzer

I see there is a "UART" on the front board image, but I guess it does not work for you. Check the sorroundings for possibile missing resistors, sometimes they remove some small SMD resistors to make the UART non-functional. Also note that you must use an adapter that is capable of 1.5Mbps; not all of them can reach such baud rates (AFAIR pl2303 can't, but CH301 should work)

Disclaimer: I know it's not a good idea XD Is it possible somehow to upgrade the prebuilt image Armbian 12/OpenMediaVault 7 to Armbian 13/OpenMediaVault 8? Is there a guide?

Hi all. i got Armbian for luckfox, compiled by builder, and also tried downloaded img binaries. but cannot find clear and complete instruction how to write thtat img to eMMC and for SDCard . what tools and steps should be used for get Armbian img boots and works on that board. thanks in advance PS. BigTreetech CB2 same problem - no clear info about flash eMMC and SDCard.

Does anybody know how one could correct multichannel HDMI audio mapping in the current-rockchip64 build or kernel? When I run speaker-test -c6 -D plughw:0,0 on (kernel) 6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx + (dtb) dtb-6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx Everything is mapped correctly and I hear audio from all the correct channels. When I run the same command on (kernel) 6.18.12-current-rockchip64 + (dtb) dtb-6.18.12-current-rockchip64 I get no audio on center and rear right channels (others are working). Is this a mistake or error in the DTB file of dtb-6.18.12-current-rockchip64 (rk3588s-nanopi-r6s.dtb) ? How can we correct this?

As long as you don't install Armbian to your emmc, you should be able to still boot android by removing the SD and/or usb drives. Once you install to emmc you will overwrite the android installation

To get audio working on the Radxa Dragon (QCS6490) when the standard UCM (Use Case Manager) fails, you have to bypass the "official" path and manually bridge the hardware to the software. Here is the complete summary of the "manual bridge" method developed. I installed Armbian 25.11.1 Edge Image and below is how I fixed HDMI Audio. Step 1: Create the Hardware Bridge Script This script manually flips the hardware switches in the Qualcomm DSP that route audio to the HDMI/DisplayPort pins. File: /usr/local/bin/fix-hdmi-audio.sh Command: sudo nano /usr/local/bin/fix-hdmi-audio.sh Bash #!/bin/bash # Wait for hardware to initialize sleep 2 # Open the HDMI/DP Audio Bridge amixer -c 0 cset name='DISPLAY_PORT_RX_0 Audio Mixer MultiMedia1' 1 # Set initial hardware volume amixer -c 0 cset name='stream0.vol_ctrl0 MultiMedia1 Playback Volu' 75% Make it executable: sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/fix-hdmi-audio.sh Step 2: Create the Systemd Service This ensures the hardware switches are flipped automatically every time the board boots up. File: /etc/systemd/system/hdmi-audio.service Command: sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/hdmi-audio.service Ini, TOML [Unit] Description=Fix HDMI Audio Routing After=sound.target [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/fix-hdmi-audio.sh RemainAfterExit=yes [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Enable it: Bash sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable hdmi-audio.service Step 3: Configure the Desktop Audio Sink Since the system's "Built-in Audio" often defaults to a "Dummy Output" when UCM is broken, we force PulseAudio to create a manual "Sink" pointing directly to the hardware. File: /etc/pulse/default.pa Command: sudo nano /etc/pulse/default.pa Add these lines to the very bottom of the file: Plaintext # Manually bridge PulseAudio to the working hardware path load-module module-alsa-sink device=plughw:0,0 sink_name=Manual_HDMI sink_properties=device.description=HDMI_Audio_Output set-default-sink Manual_HDMI Step 4: Clean Up UCM (Optional but Recommended) To stop the "HDMI Audio failure" warnings during boot, you can ensure your UCM files are at least syntactically correct, even if the system ignores them. File: /usr/share/alsa/ucm2/QCS6490RadxaDra/HiFi.conf Plaintext Syntax 2 SectionDevice."HDMI" { Comment "HDMI Output" Value { PlaybackPriority 200 PlaybackPCM "hw:0,0" } } SectionVerb { EnableSequence [] DisableSequence [] } Summary of the Audio Path By following these steps, you have constructed the following data flow: Hardware: Qualcomm DSP (Card 0, Device 0). Bridge: amixer opens the path from the CPU to the HDMI port. ALSA: Provides the plughw:0,0 interface. PulseAudio: Grabs that interface and names it "HDMI_Audio_Output." Applications: YouTube/Browsers send audio to the "Default Sink," which is now your working HDMI path. Now I will put all these commands into a single "one-click" shell script so you can save it as a backup for future installs? The Radxa Dragon Audio "One-Click" Fix Create the file: nano fix_audio.sh Paste the code below. Run it: chmod +x fix_audio.sh && sudo ./fix_audio.sh Bash #!/bin/bash echo "🚀 Starting Radxa Dragon QCS6490 Audio Fix..." # 1. Create the Hardware Bridge Script echo "🔧 Creating hardware bridge script..." cat <<EOF | sudo tee /usr/local/bin/fix-hdmi-audio.sh > /dev/null #!/bin/bash # Wait for hardware to initialize sleep 2 # Open the HDMI/DP Audio Bridge amixer -c 0 cset name='DISPLAY_PORT_RX_0 Audio Mixer MultiMedia1' 1 # Set initial hardware volume amixer -c 0 cset name='stream0.vol_ctrl0 MultiMedia1 Playback Volu' 75% EOF sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/fix-hdmi-audio.sh # 2. Create the Systemd Service echo "⚙️ Creating boot-time service..." cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/hdmi-audio.service > /dev/null [Unit] Description=Fix HDMI Audio Routing After=sound.target [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/fix-hdmi-audio.sh RemainAfterExit=yes [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target EOF # 3. Enable and Start the Service sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable hdmi-audio.service sudo systemctl start hdmi-audio.service # 4. Configure PulseAudio Sink echo "🔉 Configuring PulseAudio/PipeWire sink..." PA_CONFIG="/etc/pulse/default.pa" if [ -f "$PA_CONFIG" ]; then # Check if we already added the fix to avoid duplicates if ! grep -q "Manual_HDMI" "$PA_CONFIG"; then cat <<EOF | sudo tee -a "$PA_CONFIG" > /dev/null # Manually bridge PulseAudio to the working hardware path load-module module-alsa-sink device=plughw:0,0 sink_name=Manual_HDMI sink_properties=device.description=HDMI_Audio_Output set-default-sink Manual_HDMI EOF fi else echo "⚠️ Warning: /etc/pulse/default.pa not found. You may need to manualy add the sink to your specific sound server config." fi echo "✅ Success! Please reboot to finalize settings." echo " After reboot, select 'HDMI_Audio_Output' in Sound Settings if it doesn't auto-switch." Why this works for your specific board: This script performs a "Direct Injection." Instead of asking the operating system to figure out where the audio goes (which fails because the Qualcomm UCM profiles are currently buggy), it tells the hardware exactly which gate to open and tells the software exactly which "sink" to pour the audio into.

Salve Marcão, did you try this method? https://github.com/armbian/community/releases/ https://forum.armbian.com/topic/28895-efforts-to-develop-firmware-for-h96-max-v56-rk3566-8g64g/page/8/#findComment-187569

Hello everyone, I would like to test Armbian on my GS King-X (S-922X). I have prepared a SD Card by using Armbian Imager. Then I have followed the instructions here: modified the "armbi_boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf" file, specified: "fdt /dtb/amlogic/meson-meson-g12b-gsking-x.dtb"; copied "u-boot-s905x2-s922" as "u-boot.ext". Now before trying to make the device boot from the SD Card, I would like to know: If I do not install Armbian to the internal eMMC, will I be able to boot back to Android, by just removing the SD Card and powering off then back on the device? Later, if I decide to install Armbian to a USB drive or an internal SATA Hard-Drive, will I be able to boot back to Android, or it will modify the boot loader in a way that it will not be possible? Thank you in advance

Thank you for the support. I made a short break tinkering with the tv box, but recently I did try installing to emmc, using the install-aml.sh script. Everything working as expected. I should have been more careful in the first place. It was a good lesson anyway. Tnx

@billymore I got this from AI. It's not perfect. I haven't done this before. To convert a standard Armbian root filesystem (typically an ext4 partition) into the rootfs.cpio.lzma.uboot format required for RAM booting, you must package the file tree into a CPIO archive, compress it with LZMA, and then wrap it with a U-Boot header. 1. Extract the Armbian RootFS First, you need the actual files from your Armbian image. Mount the image to a temporary directory on your Linux PC: mkdir -p /tmp/armbian_root If you have your Armbian .img file ready, run this command to find the start sector of the root partition (usually the second partition): fdisk -l armbian_image.img Multiply that Start number by 512 to get the exact offset for the mount command. sudo mount -o loop,offset=YOUR_OFFSET armbian_image.img /tmp/armbian_root A standard Armbian rootfs doesn't have an init file in the root directory; it uses sbin/init (a symlink to systemd). A RAM disk requires an executable at /init. sudo ln -s sbin/init /tmp/armbian_root/init 2. Create the CPIO Archive Pack the entire filesystem into a newc format CPIO archive. It is critical to perform this step as root to preserve file permissions. cd /tmp/armbian_root sudo find . | sudo cpio -H newc -o > /tmp/rootfs.cpio 3. Compress with LZMA Compress the archive using the LZMA algorithm to minimize its size for RAM loading: lzma -9 /tmp/rootfs.cpio # This creates /tmp/rootfs.cpio.lzma 4. Add the U-Boot Header Use the mkimage tool (from the u-boot-tools package) to add the 64-byte legacy header that U-Boot uses to identify the ramdisk. mkimage -A arm64 -O linux -T ramdisk -C lzma -n "Armbian Initramfs" -d /tmp/rootfs.cpio.lzma /tmp/rootfs.cpio.lzma.uboot -A arm: Target architecture (use arm64 if applicable). -T ramdisk: Identifies the image type as a RAM filesystem. -C lzma: Specifies the compression used. -d: Input data file. sunxi-fel -v uboot u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin \ write 0x40080000 Image \ write 0x4fa00000 dtbs/allwinner/sun50i-h313-tanix-tx1.dtb \ write 0x4fe00000 rootfs.cpio.lzma.uboot (Note: If you are using a raw Image instead of a uImage, use booti instead of bootm). Once U-Boot initializes over the USB cable, it will drop to a prompt. You must run this to start the OS: Armbian’s default kernel might not have a large enough ramdisk_size allocated in its config. Update your bootargs to include a size limit (in KB). If your rootfs is 500MB: setenv bootargs "console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/ram0 rw" booti 0x40080000 0x4fe00000 0x4fa00000 ramdisk_size=600000
