Ah, thank you so much! I love being "on the edge" 😉 The only way we learn in our profession / super hobby! Ps, for people who want to know, I'm building two of these: * https://makerworld.com/en/models/1605027-raspberry-pi-5-based-4-bay-nas#profileId-1692368

I have also encountered this using Orange pi 5 and latest Armbian updated as of today. That the "standing" USB port does not work also means that the USB-C port doesn't work -- they are electrically connected. So Mitu's question is also mine: Is this a limitation of the mainstream kernel (6.18.x) - i.e. does this work only with the vendor kernel (6.1.x)? EDIT: typo

For Ubuntu Resolute desktops you need to build from this branch: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/9683 It is a matter of days when this will be merged. You can speed this process by reviewing the code. P.S. We lack 1-2 beefy arm64 servers or 30-40k $ and unknown $ for storage space as we would need to upgrade from free storage which is limited to 1000 artifacts in order to provide more build combinations. We are far away ...

Newer kernel packages may not have hit apt repo yet. Use the build framework to generate a set of kernel packages to be installed via dpkg -i by yourself: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Overview/ code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } ./compile.sh BOARD=rpi4b BRANCH=current kernel

Providing logs with armbianmonitor -u helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.

Our resources are limited so we cannot provide images for each board with each kernel and each desktop environment. Feel free to use the framework to build the combination you want by yourself. https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Overview/

Update: sicXnull/armbian-build (H96q) + "+CONFIG_SPL_IMAGE_TYPE_SUNXI_TOC0=y" and "secure-boot.patch" solved the problem. Now, the ethernet interface is fully functional. Thank you Nick & sicXnull.

I downloaded the image. And yes, of course, I needed to set up the wifi connection when armbian asked me to.

@Nick A I re-tested v0.6.4 on the A7S several times. It turns out that if you unplug and replug the DP cable before the GUI loads, you won't get a signal back. The only fix is to restart the device. Additionally, the restart button on the A7S is not functional with this image.

Hi there. I just got my hands on a brand new 5T with 24GB of RAM and installed Armbian 26.04 minimal on it (on an SD card - no eMMC on this board). I immediately put it to use running CI jobs, however started seeing segfaults and things almost straight away. Current power source is the Radxa 60W power supply. Currently passively cooled (with the Radxa heat sink). Hasn't gone over 70º in the last 24 hours, even when maxxed out compiling rust packages.

Has anyone found a working gpiolib implementation for Armbian on Orange Pi 5? I'm aware of wiringPi and it sort of works. However, being able to use the "real stuff" so to speak would make my life easier.

@humanus Did you build it yourself, or did you just download Nick's version? Also, doesn't the WiFi connection need to be set up first? I downloaded Nick's A7S Mineline v0.1 directly, but I can't connect even with a wired NIC, so I can't get the WiFi working either.

Hi Armbian forum people! I'm trying to setup bcache for my openmediavault. But it seems the `bcache` module is not installed? Which means I cannot use `bcache` at the moment with openmediavault. I do know that the bcache has been added only recently: * https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/9550?ref=blog.armbian.com * "Enable BCACHE on Raspberry Pi build" But no go so far.. Is there anything I can do?

Are there no more update coming for the armsom-w3? I was planning to put the new ubuntu with KDE that showed up one month ago, and since a few days, it is not available anymore, there is only the trixie minimal. I was just wondering if it was normal or if the support was dropped for the armsom-w3 board.

Hi @falbriard, I don't know where your image is from and to what RISC-V build of Chrome browser you are referring. Anyhow, you are free to test my latest image build from current main commit 3ce7dec74. Go to https://privat-in.de/ follow Downloads and flash Armbian-unofficial_26.05.0-trunk_Orangepirv2_trixie_current_6.18.26_minimal.img from there. You will find a script in /root which installs Gnome with GPU and Chromium. Any GPU stuff is from a mirror of the Bianbu Linux (Chinese Ubuntu variant from SpacemiT). Be warned: You may get a kernel downgrade if you install current Armbian upgrades. The image comes with 6.18.26-current-spacemit (from main) but Armbian repos may deliver 6.6 until that main-current-6.18 makes it to the update repos. HTH // Sven-Ola

Okay slight update, I have successfully booted https://forum.armbian.com/topic/56130-radxa-cubie-a7aa7z-allwinner-a733 linux 6.6.98-vendor-sun60iw2 kernel and debootstrapped Bookworm (Debian 12) on it using userdata as root fs. Basically I got in using: aliexpress.com/item/1005009243708714.html Micro SD Sniffer aliexpress.com/item/1005010529282186.html in 1.8v mode(important!) And fiddling with the u-boot endlessly after i first sabotaged the auto-boot process. Display is alive, usb subsystem does not work, does not probe. Wifi would be next so I can ditch the tf uart. All your bases belong to us, resistance is futile!

In my case, WiFi connects correctly on mainline on A7S. Haven't gotten any DP output yet, only on 6.6. There is some spam about DP in UART.

After nearly one year of kernel crashes, I finally found the stable configuration for Orange Pi Zero 3 as a 24/7 SDR server. The critical discovery: legacy kernel 6.6.75-sunxi64 is the only stable option. The current kernel crashes within hours under SDR load. Additional fixes: - Blacklist aw859a WiFi driver (causes kernel instability) - Blacklist DVB modules for RTL-SDR - Lock libairspyhfSupport.so with chattr +i (SpyServer/SoapySDR conflict) - Mask systemd-networkd-wait-online - CPU governor: schedutil - usbcore.autosuspend=-1 for USB SDR dongles Running 3 SDRs simultaneously: RTL-SDR Blog V4, Airspy HF+, dedicated ADS-B. 4 antennas via HMC241 GPIO RF switch. 30+ decoders. Full Android control. Complete guide: https://ozcet.github.io/sdr-server-guide

I cant even get UART output and I would be grateful if somebody could look into it to check for errors or if something is missing entirely.

I am not using WOL on any of my devices, I have no personal experience with the software on the Helios or any other platform.

Hi @Ross Cawston I've been using your patch for a few months on Orange Pi 5 Plus/Max SBCs with Linux kernels from 6.19 to 7.0.3 and it works well encoding H.264 streams (didn't try H.265, though) Thank you for your contribution. There's still no support for `rkvenc` in edge kernels (as of 7.1rc2).

This week's work centers on release pipeline modernization, desktop and userland refinements, and board and kernel platform maintenance. On the release and CI side, the build matrix gained codename parameterisation with Ubuntu 26.04 "resolute" set as default, a dedicated Bianbu target, and exposed map overrides, while standard-support targets now include UEFI desktops and a plain cloud variant. The KDE fast-HDMI matrix was switched from kde-neon to kde-plasma, mesa-vpu was dropped from auto-attached extensions, and external CI now skips slots with a warning when upstream sources break. Supporting fixes route forky/loong64 base-files lookups to the main archive and add AI cover image generation to the blog workflow. Desktop and userland changes focus on the Bianbu environment, where PVR DRI was enabled, detection corrected, menu entries added, systemd suspend re-enabled on K1, and gnome-initial-setup purged post-install. Broader fixes pass --allow-downgrades on pinned package installs, align LAN/WAN labels across IPv4 and IPv6 rows in the MOTD, harden console-width handling against invalid COLUMNS values, and correct output to /etc/armbian-image-release. Platform support sees explicit ARCH=arm64 declarations on five inheriting boards, validate-board-config now following inheritance from ${SRC}/config/boards, and targeted fixes for imx8m binman hooks and rockchip family tweaks under forky (addgroup → groupadd). Kernel and DTS work restores 6.18.y on sm8550, syncs CAINIAO CNIoT-CORE DTS from 6.18 to 6.12, disables broken drm/xe patches under uefi-loong64-7.0, and improves the SMART AM40 and Retroid Pocket board definitions.

AX210 firmware lands for mainline, and Seeed Studio reComputer images join the catalogue. #Armbian #EmbeddedLinux #ARM64 #Rockchip #Ubuntu #KDE #Mainline ChangesAdd AX210 firmware for mainline kernel. by @ginkage in armbian/firmware#126Add Seeed Studio reComputer board images and vendor logo. by @baorepo in armbian/armbian.github.io#297boards: declare ARCH=arm64 explicitly on five inheriting boards. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#9747ci/external: skip slot with warning when upstream source breaks. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#301ci/maintenance-unit-tests: list docker state on the runner. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/configng#903desktops/bianbu: enable PVR DRI, fix detection, add menu entries. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/configng#897desktops/bianbu: purge gnome-initial-setup after install. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/configng#902desktops/bianbu: re-enable systemd suspend on K1. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/configng#900desktops: pass --allow-downgrades on pinned package install. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/configng#899DTS: Sync CAINIAO CNIoT-CORE from 6.18 to 6.12. by @retro98boy in armbian/build#9736Fix workflow bugs and add AI cover image generation. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#298fix: rename imx8m bare hook so binman pkg_resources patch can run. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#9752fix: rockchip family_tweaks fails on forky — addgroup → groupadd. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#9753fix: route forky/loong64 base-files lookups to the main archive. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#299fixing output to /etc/armbian-image-release. by @dittodhole in armbian/build#9729Handle invalid data in COLUMNS env var when determining console width. by @scollinson in armbian/build#9631kernel: add linux-initramfs-tool as dep of linux-image package. by @amazingfate in armbian/build#9731motd/20-ip-info: align (LAN)/(WAN) labels across IPv4 + IPv6 rows. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#9728os-info: add Ubuntu 26.04 (resolute). by @igorpecovnik in armbian/imager#134patch: disable broken drm/xe patches under uefi-loong64-7.0. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#9745release-targets/standard-support.manual: add UEFI desktops + plain cloud. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#304release-targets: codename parameterisation, resolute default, Bianbu target, exposed.map overrides. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#295release-targets: drop mesa-vpu from auto-attached extensions. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#302release-targets: switch fast-HDMI KDE matrix from kde-neon to kde-plasma. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#303Retroidpocket: fix current and add edge as target. by @EvilOlaf in armbian/build#9724sm8550: Restore kernel 6.18.y for current and edge branch. by @kasimling in armbian/build#9737SMART AM40 improve. by @retro98boy in armbian/build#9735userpatches: skip jammy in items-from-inventory. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os#460validate-board-config: follow source ${SRC}/config/boards inheritance. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#9748View the full article
