bootlog file - from stock adnroid boot printenv - stock uboot enviroment printenv boot.log

Hi djurny! Should this kwb file installed like that using linux pc and external sd card reader after the upgrade to the newest kernel? sudo dd if=u-boot-helios-4-sd.kwb of=/dev/sdf bs=512 seek=1 status=noxfer sudo sync sudo sync

This is not Armbian. This fork is using the name Armbian without permission nor do they contribute to the core development process. Ask at their repo for help. We cannot and will not support any forks whatsoever.

https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian/releases I downloaded it from here. Could you send me the link where I need to download it from? It's not so important for me that it's the original Armbian, I just want to have Linux with LXQT on my TV box. and if that fork is enough for what I want to get, then that's great

That is not an Armbian image, you are not using an Armbian build. You should ask for help where you downloaded your fake forked image from.

I only test on my OdroidC2 so this find may affect more. As repeatedly mentioned, the C2 has usb detect issues. For us, a main culprit not discussed yet is the default kernel config. Having both: CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TT_NEWSCHED=Y CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD=Y For USB1.1, these should be one or the other, never both. Mainline has: CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD=Y and CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TT_NEWSCHED is not set. For the OdroidC2, CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD=N is proper. As it has no OHCI and USB2 handles that for us. Forcing the USB power on state has helped workaround this issue, by keeping the driver tied to the device in the kernel.

I have tested them and they don't work that much 😞 The kernel is too old, Linux kernel 6.12 lacks many existing mainline patches in 6.14, but even with 6.15 (current development) the board lacks support for the wireless chip or the NPU. For sure one day the board will work with mainline kernel, but it's not now, currently Vendor 6.1 kernel works the best for the board.

I’m using an Android TV Box X96 X6. Right now, I want to find a way to install Armbian on it, but I haven’t been able to figure it out yet. I’d appreciate any help or guidance from the community.

I need your help, I'm not an expert in this, so I'll ask you to explain in as much detail as possible ☺️ as I understand it, I have version q2, which supports gigabit LAN. I want to install lxqt de, but I couldn't find such an assembly. What version exactly do I need to download? I tried to install this version, downloaded it from github: (Armbian_25.05.0_amlogic_s905x3_noble_6.12.21_server_2025.04.01.img) installed it, through armbian-config I installed xfce de, but for some reason I logged into the system as root. and that's why i couldn't do anything with the sudo command. I created a second user, installed lightdm, but when I logged out of the system, everything just froze, and I couldn't select the second user. and also, as I noticed, for some reason my Bluetooth didn't work, as I understand it could you tell me which version should I download and if possible give me a link

Thanks everyone, I will change the forum branch.

I have been able to fix this issue for myself. It ended up being the case that the USB-C to USB-C wire that I was using would work as USB3.0 on the Zero3E in a specific orientation only (which is weird because it works every which way on other devices) So what I did was I kept flipping the typeC port on both the Zero3E side, and the external SSD until it was detected as USB3.0, and then I marked those with sides. Now, I just look at the markings to check which sides of the cable need to be facing upwards and connect it to the Zero3E and the external SSD, and its never gone to USB2.0 mode again! Super weird issue, and an even weirder fix I must say. P.S. The cable works in USB3 mode in any orientation on all other devices, it's just this way with the Zero3E, and I have no clue why!

apparently it needs libheif https://github.com/libvips/libvips try apt-cache search heif apt install libheif1 alternatively, there is libavif https://github.com/AOMediaCodec/libavif I'm using libavif, built that from source, but you can nevertheless try sudo apt install libavif15 libavif-bin libavif-dev

just to share my experienced, i had 2 orangepi : opi4a and opi5pro. for opi5pro, flashed with armbian orangepi5pro community. install zerotier, proxmox and install lxc and VM HAOS with no issue. i tried on opi4a, default debian and ubuntu with no luck. after compile the image https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/orangepi-build/commits/next , and enable additional kernel config for everything missing in default opi4a (tun. tap, lvm, lvm-thin, ebt, kvm) now zerotier install working, proxmox partial complete. LXC working, but VM no luck: "KVM configured but not available", there is no /dev/kvm. create manual via "mknod /dev/kvm c 10 232" still not working. already compared all "KVM" related in opi4a config and opi5pro, and enable the possible KVM config one in opi4a. please, if you any idea, what is missing ? i tried to enable SMT support kernel also but still NOK. thanks

I have a big problem with the latest Armbian images, the problem not only persists with the latest versions, with the previous one the same thing happened to me with the old Ubuntu images, it works without problems with the old kernel, I have a video published with the problem since it works but at certain times the device turns off and does not turn on a single LED light until I reconnect it, I thought it was a problem with the power supply but not with the old Ubuntu images it works and even with the game emulators of the lakka-tv image, so I came to the conclusion that the hardware is in good condition, therefore check what the fault could be because the computer usually turns off. I leave the link of the video it is in Spanish, sorry . HARDWARE: Banana Pi M1

Can someone who has NanoPi M6 confirm this issue? I'm not sure if it's a software problem or is my NanoPi M6 has a defective hardware.

So, I'm got this "old" TV BOX as a gift, and I'm try to do something with this ... Now I have booted image for Odroid C1 (after 2 or 3 days work) Req. HW mod: - two resistors / wires for working console are needed - pics later HW & SW info: TV Box Name: Sencor SMP 5000PRO CPU: amlogic meson8b (s805 ??) Armbian build file name: Armbian_25.2.1_Odroidc1_bookworm_current_6.12.13_minimal.img.xz DTB file used: meson8b-odroidc1.dtb Kernel Version:6.12.13 Distribution Installed: bookworm Working Ethernet (Yes/No):??? Max Ethernet Speed that works: 100 Does wifi work (Yes/No): ???? Does bluetooth work (Yes/No):NO ?? Does HDMI audio work (Yes/No): It is Androind TV box, 1GB RAM, NAND flash 8GB, 1x LAN, WiFi, 2x USB 2.0, HDMI, SDcard slot, IR, 2 color status led, audio jack, Android 4.4.x I can provide some rom files, from stock android, or whole nand. and (maybe) need some help with this .. (thats all for this midnight)

There are multiple threads discussing RK3566 support on TV Boxes in this forum. You should read that content first if you haven't already.

It looks like your box is Rockchip RK3566 based, moving to the Rockchip TV Box sub-forum

Update: get it work by downloading a new verision of firmware-iwlwifi from https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/firmware-iwlwifi/download Seems that I'm a fool

I'm new to boards with linux and this is my very first attempt to install linux systems on board so there might be something that I cannot be aware of. I tried to install armbian v6.12 on the SD card but after I finish configureing the setup, the wifi doesn't work. Unfortunately I have no wires to connet to the board so now it is unable for me to connect the board to the internet. The problem is exactly the same as the post Wifi module AX210 - Orange Pi 5 Plus - Armbian Community Forums. I can see the network controller through `lspci -v`: And the dmesg shows that iwlwifi cannot find suitable version to use: And I indeed have the firmware I need under /usr/lib/firmware: (the one ended with 59) Unfortunately I have no wires to connet to the board so now I cannot use apt to update and upgrade the system and the firmware in it and cannot use Armbianmonitor.

Armbian is assembled from Ubuntu or Debian packages. If problems is there, problem is here too and there is little we can do about. https://docs.armbian.com/#what-is-armbian We have a mechanism which you can use to insert patched package to our repository, which is in use in some corner cases: https://github.com/armbian/os/wiki Perhaps this is a solution, perhaps not depending on possible dependency nightmare.

@greg396 You can downgrade linux to 6.6.87: unzip the file debs-6.6.87.zip on your helios, cd into the folder and submit 'dpkg -i linux*'. With linux 6.12. I get some timeouts during data transfer. You need to install the modified dtb for the linux-6.6 branch in /boot/dtb/rockchip/ (do not forget 'update-initramfs -u' after that and reboot). Follow the link load distribution and Install the code displayed ('cd ... exit 0') in /etc/rc.local and reboot. I have disabled any Armbian updates by commenting the text in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list but submitting 'apt-mark hold armbian-firmware' may work as well. However, I have no idea whether or not OMV requires a specific kernel branch - but I don't think so. If you need to reinstall linux 6.12. you can collect the three corresponding deb packages (linux-image, linux-dtb and linux-headers) on http://beta.armbian.com/ (currently 6.12.25).
