I did this: sed -i 's/buster/bookworm/g' armbian-image-release sed -i 's/21.05.1/25.2.3/g' armbian-image-release But I have motd stuff all muted as all is CLI/remote/ssh/unattended only. It is only for the case that in 1 or 2 years from now I don't get confused by 'buster' again. But I think this file gets orphaned for people doing in-place upgrades (not wiping SD with new image at least. I use it only to see when and how I got the new SBC and architecture/SoC running first time when not knowing much about a platform. For the 5 NanoPi-NEOs, they are all copied/cloned from just the first one I bought and got working and modified so it is a partition structure (Btrfs for root at least) that fits my regeneration-from-backup-NAS script for all Linux clients. After the clone action, the package tooling (and sources.list* contents) determine versions. What matters for me is MACaddress essentially (and some other keys and UUIDs). I only use os-release to see what distro flavor it is. And sometimes 'hostnamectl status' to see what is running.

I noticed that after updating the kernel to version 6.12.23 there is a problem with armbin-config I can't set overllay tree devices choosing from armbian-config --cmd SY210 The current Armbian 25.5.0-trunk.426 nightly (bookworm) is supported. Check distro Loaded Dialog... Loaded Docs... Loaded System helpers... Loaded Network helpers... Loaded Software helpers... Loaded Runtime conditions... Invalid overlay_prefix sun50i-h616 I changed it to sun50i-h618 but Invalid overlay_prefix sun50i-h618 I made an empty overlay_prefix= but still Invalid overlay_prefix What should be now in overlay_prefix= in ArmBianEnv.txt for Organa Pi Zero 3 for kernel 6.12.23???

Seems like the default for sunxi64 family is v2024.01. You can try manually bumping it by overwriting at board level and see what happens. Example: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/config/boards/nanopi-r3s.csc

Danubio, build Armbian with latest Linux kernel 6.13, and see this old instruction I made for the opiz-lts audio… maybe it will help you for the opiz3 https://github.com/robertojguerra/orangepi-zero-full-setup/blob/main/README2.md#10-activate-and-use-analog-audio i just confirmed that opiz3 can play audio (alsa) with Linux 6.13.11. mpv.conf must contain the line: audio-device=alsa/plughw:CARD=Codec,DEV=0

There are actually just a few situations where updating the boot loader makes sense. So when a new u-boot package is shipped it just provides the binaries but does not write them to the boot sector. I think you can use armbian-install to rewrite the boot loader with the latest binaries.

That's normal services usually need a few hours to catch up with stuff once a new tag is released. Try tomorrow. Deprecated. Check docs again.

Hello! I'm trying to look around in the Armbian build/config scripts to see how I can enable a mainline v6.15-rc3 kernel to be built. I did try to make a build/userpatches/lib.config file with the contents, KERNELBRANCH="tag:v6.15-rc3" But that's not working. Would anyone be able to tell me the file I need to edit for an OrangePi 5? Update: I actually seem to have it try by editing config/sources/families/rockchip-rk3588.conf changing the version tag. But I get a bunch of red errors complaining about SHA1. hmm...an 'rc3' is probably not to be found in a tree with 'stable' in it. Cheers! Fred

When I start from scratch with TheGoing repo, linux 6.13.7, I apply my DTS, copy my firmware, and I get this DT (snipped in the area that counts) And the LCD works. And when I start from scratch from the Armbian repo, linux 6.13.11, I apply my DTS, copy my firmware, and get this Device Tree: But the GPIO pins PC7 and PC14 appear unclaimed (as seen in previous post), and the LCD remains white. The linux build configs are practically the same (side in 6.13.11 has the error in SPI configuration) I found that the TheGoing repo has a two less patches applied... the zero 2w seems more relevant IMPORTANT: I just added "-" before "patches.armbian/arm64-dts-sun50i-h618-orangepi-zero2w-Add-missing-nodes.patch" in the: build/patch/kernel/archive/sunxi-6.13/series.conf file, and I finally have the ili9488 LCD working with my ili9488-ads7846 DTS My SBC is the OrangePiZero 3, and I select that specific SBC in the menuconfigs after starting "./compile.sh"

Help! My DTS, which used to work with 6.13 and 6.12 from the unofficial repo's from NickA and Going... are not working in the official armbian linux 6.13 This is an issue of not owning the DC and RESET pins, as seen in PC7 and PC14 need to show this: pin 71 (PC7): GPIO 300b000.pinctrl:71 pin 78 (PC14): GPIO 300b000.pinctrl:78 dmesg shows this error: $ dmesg|grep spi [ 1.911366] sun6i-spi 5010000.spi: Error applying setting, reverse things back [ 1.911650] sun6i-spi 5011000.spi: Error applying setting, reverse things back [ 1.917726] sun6i-spi 5010000.spi: Error applying setting, reverse things back [ 1.918005] sun6i-spi 5011000.spi: Error applying setting, reverse things back ... The DTS I used is: I think anyone with Linux 6.13 (armbian official) can try this DTS without an LCD connected to the orange pi zero 3... at this time, I only need that the PC7 and PC14 are owned by the SPI driver.

That is wrong approach as we follow kernel source / standards: and this (boot script) contains the mechanism for loading it: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/config/bootscripts/boot-rk35xx.cmd It should work: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/config/bootscripts/boot-rk35xx.cmd#L51-L52 Is your image an upgrade from some old one? As we indeed have issues with this at some point.

Was fixed already.

known issue. fix is underway

hi, continuing test, now with updated/upgraded XFCE, latest stable kernel and usual NicoD mods of desktop to try them all in vertical deskbar https://paste.armbian.com/punucaniso everything works till now

Hi all, I'm new here, but I know armbian since years ago. I have a Rock3A and I downloaded the latest Armbian 25.2.3 bookworm, at the first try armbian-config worked. But after an update I had a problem with armbian-config, I reinstalled this tools that was corrupted. Here are the problems with Invalid overlay_prefix, and after searching everywhere and doing some tests I found the solution, here it is: mkdir /boot/dtb/overlay cp -r /boot/dtb/rockchip/overlay/. /boot/dtb/overlay/. cat /boot/armbianEnv.txt verbosity=1 bootlogo=false console=serial extraargs=cma=256M overlay_prefix=rockchip overlays=rk3568-pwm8-m0-fan fdtfile=rockchip/rk3568-rock-3a.dtb rootdev=UUID=194f1dc9-d186-438e-b1fd-064e3e8b1304 rootfstype=ext4 usbstoragequirks=0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u my files start with overlay_prefix=rockchip, then armbian-config and now your overlays selection works. The folder basically needs to be moved, hopefully that will be done in the next image. I hope it can be helpful for those who have the same problem. In my case I have not yet solved the fan operation on pwm8, which works with S.O. Radxa. I also tried to compile the dts downloaded from Armbian, but there must be some problem on the kernel that has not been solved. If anyone has managed to get the fan to work on the Rock3A connector, I would be grateful for any help1 Thanks Tony

Thanks guys for your suggestions. I've just tried to use Orange Pi 3 image (Armbian_community_25.5.0-trunk.399_Orangepizero3_bookworm_current_6.12.20_minimal.img) but something went wrong. The audio device is visible in a system: aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: audiocodec [audiocodec], device 0: CDC PCM Codec-0 [CDC PCM Codec-0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: HDMI [HDMI], device 0: ahub_plat-i2s-hifi i2s-hifi-0 [ahub_plat-i2s-hifi i2s-hifi-0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 but I still can't play anything because of the error: aplay -D hw:0,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono aplay: pcm_write:2127: write error: Input/output error I can't find a release with 6.13.7 kernel.

Apr15th Ubuntu and Debian versions still behaving the same way - wifi works fine until updates then disappears

Hi The issue is likely with the UPS battery. Keep it plugged in until the light clears. The system needs time to charge the battery to the correct voltage, which usually takes 4 to 5 hours. If the issue persists, the battery may be damaged. Simply unplug it and it should start working.

Thank you very much. This helped.

same bug installed Armbian 25.2.3 debian-12 with vendor kernel 6.1.99, no sound. Tested all latest kernels - 6.1.99, 6.1.84, 6.1.75. Only on 6.1.75 jack sound works.

Same exact module can be loaded/unloaded with no issue on the x86 host PC with 6.8.0-58-generic kernel.

I updated my ArmBian and the kernel 6.12.23 appeared but u-boot is still v24.01 and there is still a problem with incorrect detection of the memory size instead of 1 Gb it shows 2 Gb only after a few reboots it shows correctly 1 Gb RAM. I don't know if u-boot v25.x versions solve this problem Linux localhost 6.12.23-current-sunxi64 #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 12:39:41 UTC 2025 aarch64 GNU/Linux

Here is the dmesg log in this case armbian-6.1-416.all_ok.txt

With armbian kernel 6.1, version 25.5.0-trunk.416, I've again both SATA, 2 HDMI output ports, and best currently available GL acceleration.

Hi there 👋, I'm attempting to update Armbian (apt update), but I get the follow error message: Err:9 https://netcup-02.armbian.com/apt bookworm Release 404 Not Found [IP: 2a0a:4cc0:c0:7deb::1 443] Reading package lists... Done E: The repository 'http://apt.armbian.com bookworm Release' no longer has a Release file. It appears that the bookworm repo no longer contains any files: https://netcup-02.armbian.com/apt/dists/bookworm/ Is the hostname I have configured still correct? It's an issue on both of my servers running Armbian. Thanks!
