@boggy have you tried another SD card? You have a lot of mmc errors. which miniarch image booted for you? Maybe we can use the mmc settings from that image.

I opened PR #9590 with the really minimal change that's needed to get my desired behavior back.

@Nick Acutecom.log log2.txt Here's how it looks right now, booting from an SD card on which I flashed the mainline U-Boot to boot the image.

I'm still working on getting the kernel compiled, but in the meantime I may have found where the option disappeared, back when 6.18 was still edge. https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/2a38243de9ff01e079b6ec0c930c00f892e163aa#diff-003c7426ff865cb4e5d2d17e324129fe9de266da1f83a11e290670929e55036dR10-L675

OK I think I have learned something. My fstab entry doesn't contain an entry like x-gvfs-show which i believe makes the disk appear in the UI (desktop icon and in Thunar?? I found this by comparing Gnome Disks settings for the SATA drive, which according to disks is mounted at mnt/data. Good. So next task is to install and configure SMB to share the root drive on the network ideally without the necessity of entering a password. So path should be /mnt/data?? and do I require Valid Users entry? Finally do I need smbpasswd.. Note users accessing will be from Windows 11 pcs and mobile phones (iOS) path = /mnt/data available = yes valid users = kealy read only = no browsable = yes public = yes writable = yes

Hello I flashed Armbian 26.2.0-trunk.606 on a SD Card. But my Orange pi 4a does not boot: only red led. It boots well with the Orange image Orangepi4a_1.0.4_ubuntu_jammy_desktop_gnome_linux5.15.147.7 Any idea ? is there something to update ? Thanks

Hello @lewa_j! Thanks for the explanation. As long as https://docs.mesa3d.org/drivers/powervr.html lists BXE-2-32 as unsupported we stick to the blobs. Of course, you are free to check this for youself, see compiling "getting started" above. HTH // Sven-Ola

Sorry for what should be help on a basic operation but I'm having real problems trying to share a SATA attached hard drive via SMB. My aim is to try and share the root of the whole 1Tb drive but I have two problems. 1) Getting the drive to mount at startup. (I thought internal and SATA drives did by default but this seems not to be the case 2) Creating a share with guest permissions. I understand that I should edit the fstb file using the UUID of the disk. I obtained the UUID but there are two listed. One for the whole disk and one for the partition. (Note The hard drive was formatted exFat in windows before being attached as whatever i did i couldn't write to it, something to do with having root permissions. I even tried taking ownership but without success) here is the blkid command output /dev/sda1: LABEL="data" UUID="74E3-01BF" BLOCK_SIZE="512" TYPE="exfat" PARTUUID="6c2b2d10-01" /dev/mmcblk0p1: LABEL="armbi_root" UUID="69fa8a60-c365-456c-8d0a-7889eb4a3713" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="c0cf2841-01" /dev/zram1: LABEL="log2ram" UUID="7269c460-6283-4374-bcba-be885c806c25" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" /dev/zram0: UUID="7a1deaea-e26c-45f2-9a73-ac43c6bf301e" TYPE="swap" here is my fstb file UUID=69fa8a60-c365-456c-8d0a-7889eb4a3713 / ext4 defaults,,commit=120,errors=remount-ro 0 1 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,nosuid 0 0 UUID=74E3-01BF /mnt/data exfat defaults 0 2 I used the disk UUID rather than the partition however the disk is no longer visible when armbian starts. previously it was visible but unmounted. there is an entry in the /mnt/ folder called data. I was also unsure if I should enter the filetype exfat in the fstb entry as all other example show ext4 before defaults. Please can someone put me right and suggest the correct entry in the smb.conf file. I believe it should be something like this :- path = /media/kealy/data available = yes valid users = kealy read only = no browsable = yes public = yes writable = yes However as there is an entry in the /mnt/ folder should path be /mnt/kealy/data instead? Finally where should the user password go in the smb.conf or is public= yes is this necessary. The device will only be used in a family household to upload their photos from their phones.

Diagnosing System Issues and Getting Support with ArmbianmonitorArmbian is a lightweight operating system based on Debian/Ubuntu, highly optimized for single-board computers (SBCs) like the Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, and many others. When facing system problems on an SBC running Armbian, the built-in utility armbianmonitor is an essential diagnostic tool. It quickly gathers crucial system data, making troubleshooting faster and more accurate for both the user and the community providing support. Key Diagnostic FunctionsThe primary use of armbianmonitor is to generate real-time performance and system configuration reports. By running the command without any arguments, you get a menu of options, but the most vital functions for diagnosis are: System Status (armbianmonitor -m): This provides a live monitoring dashboard. It displays key metrics like CPU frequency, load average, temperature, memory usage, and disk I/O. By watching this output while a problem (like a system freeze or slowdown) occurs, you can often pinpoint the bottleneck—for instance, a sudden spike in CPU temperature indicating a cooling problem, or sustained high memory usage pointing to a resource leak.System Information (armbianmonitor -u or -d): This is the most crucial function for seeking online support. It gathers a comprehensive, anonymized report including details about the kernel version, device model, installed packages, boot logs, and hardware configuration. This data is essential because the performance and stability of SBCs are often highly dependent on the specific kernel and hardware drivers used for that model.Getting Support OnlineWhen seeking help on platforms like the Armbian forum or GitHub, simply describing the symptoms is rarely enough. The person helping you needs to know the exact state of your system. By running armbianmonitor -u, the utility uploads the detailed diagnostic report to a public pastebin service (like https://www.google.com/search?q=paste.armbian.com) and provides a unique, short URL. You can then include this URL directly in your support request. This allows community members to instantly access the exact configuration, eliminating back-and-forth questions about device type, OS version, and log file locations. This standardized method is the fastest way to receive targeted, effective assistance and ensures your issue is diagnosed accurately. View the full article

Nice! I actually did something similar. In my case I ended up using an old PWM fan I had lying around, powering it through the 12V pin input. Then I used ground on pin 6 and the PWM signal from GPIO pin 11. I wrote a bash script and set it up as a service that controls the fan speed based on five temperature levels. Right now I’m running it on FriendlyElec CM3588 NAS with Armbian Linux 6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx (v26.2 rolling). The repo is in Spanish for now, but I’m planning to translate it to English soon: https://github.com/jgomezriesgobancario/cm3588-fan-controller **edited** Fix typos

@sven-ola CONFIG_POWERVR_ROGUE is for proprietary blob userspace drivers. CONFIG_DRM_POWERVR is new mainlined kerner driver (drivers/gpu/drm/imagination) for use with opensource mesa driver (main/src/imagination)

https://forums.kali.org/ There is an arm64 section.

I suggest to ask directly at kali forums/chat/whatever they provide. We offer Armbian images with Kali tools pre-installed. However about their usage we cannot help

Does this forum support Kali in Raspberry Pi? Raspberry Pi Forums do not.

Thank Igor that explains it. I'll look at your suggestion or just go back to an SMB share

Hi! Yesterday I upgraded my NanoPi Neo Plus2, during that the kernel version went from 6.12.74 (package version 26.2.0-trunk.478) to 6.18.19 (package version 26.2.0-trunk.626). This morning I noticed, that this kernel is missing the dm-snapshot.ko module. I searched the forum if anyone else is having this problem, but it appears I am the only one using this feature. I use snapshots to create consistent backups of the system. Is there a reason why it was removed and more importantly is there a way to get it back without having to compile the kernel myself? Greetings PS: I should note, that I want the module back in newer kernel versions in the future. For now I downgraded to some older version that I was able to find a package for and got it working through that.

The same issue has occurred again. I had to take this measure again today to fix the zfs module. I had to revert the kernel, headers and dtb back to 25.11.2 from 26.2.1 of linux(meson64:arm64)

Hello. I installed Armbian 26.2.1 Minimal Debian 13 (Trixie), but the Wi-Fi still doesn't work. It doesn't connect to the AP during initial setup. After reconfiguring via armbian-config, it works until the first reboot.

moved to staging

Currently just hangs after the Loading kernel message, will provide a log with increased verbosity tomorrow

@boggy do you have a boot log from armbian?

@Nick A Hi, thank you for the quick response! So far the attempts to boot the transpeed image would hang during boot most of the time, but I did manage to get a working shell once, albeit still without any networking. The WiFi chip is BCM4334, the physical print on the chip wasn't too helpful, but in either case it's the exact same model as shown on the pictures on this article https://linux-sunxi.org/T95 (4/32 version). I can't currently test HDMI but it is attempting to load Plymouth despite the config specifying otherwise. I attached a boot log of the stock Android image, if it helps at all. Thank you so much for helping out, I really appreciate it! androidbtlog.txt

They don't provide images for armhf anymore. Last build was 3 years ago: https://hub.docker.com/r/owncloud/server/tags?page=1&ordering=last_updated&name=v7 We made a notice that its compatible for amd64 and arm64: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Armbian-Software/Media/#owncloud but our installer doesn't filter that out yet. Official Docker way, it won't work. Try something else, perhaps

@boggy Try my Transpeed 8K618T image. It includes the most critical DTS settings for this hardware. All your Dram settings in the dts have dram_type = <0x03> or DDR3. dram_para1 { device_type = "dram_para1"; dram_clk = <0x258>; dram_type = <0x03>; cd-gpios = <&pio 8 16 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; /* PI16 */ sdmmc@04020000 { compatible = "allwinner,sunxi-mmc-v4p1x"; device_type = "sdc0"; . . . cd-gpios = <0x53 0x08 0x10 0x06 0x01 0x03 0xffffffff>; can you find the wifi chip on your board?
