Hello using an inovato quadra and would like it to start a specific program on boot how do I go about doing such a thing Pointer or instructions appreciated Thank you Jacques

i think i have a identical box out of my 3 other , this board is i thing NAND memory no eMMC , its only supportet by legacy Firmware kernel <4.x

Hello @Malay! No need to raise your voice. Anyhow - thanks for the feedback. The missing HDMI audio has a deeper reason: the communication with the Realtime-CPUs does not work. Background: HDMI audio needs a special DMA: adma, that in turn is supported by the rCPUs (the extra Cores running the real-time-OS from esos.elf) and that does not communicate correctly via rpmsg currently. Not sure why and also not sure if this is true with the other RiscV/Spacemit boards. The 2280 M.2 slot works, I am pretty sure. If you need a running Armbian *with* HDMI audio, grab the orangepi-rv2-ky branch from my repo. It's older and I use it to compare working vs. non-working currently. Also, there's a reason this has no pull request to Armbian/main: it's work-in-progress. LG // Sven-Ola

Hello. Thank you for your work on orangepirv2. I have a board with 2 Gb of RAM. I compiled it on your git https://github.com/sven-ola/armbian-build/tree/orangepi-rv2 Armbian-unofficial_26.02.0-trunk_Orangepirv2_noble_current_6.6.99_xfce_desktop.img and Armbian-unofficial_26.02.0-trunk_Orangepirv2_trixie_current_6.6.99_xfce_desktop.img Booting was done from the rear M.2 2280 1TB Armbian-unofficial_26.02.0-trunk_Orangepirv2_noble_current_6.6.99_xfce_desktop.img The download went fine. The network is working, HDMI video is working. is HDMI audio not working (I was upset by this fact) Armbian-unofficial_26.02.0-trunk_Orangepirv2_trixie_current_6.6.99_xfce_desktop.img It won't load, the network isn't working, and there's no HDMI output. I tried your image and the same behavior - It won't load, the network isn't working, and there's no HDMI output. Your image is not working with the rear M.2?

Thanks a lot, I´m thinking about buying a board purely for your image, would you advise me to wait for the nanopi r3s release? I have an old rpi 3 collecting dust, do you think I may use that as well? thanks

Hi, still stuck on my Iconbit XDS16 (T95D数码管-201701111-V1.0 blue board). Multitool menu loads, but mmcblk2 has no partitions at all (only mmcblk0p2). lsblk -f output: NAME FSTYPE LABEL UUID FSAVAIL FSUSE% MOUNTPOINT mmcblk0 |-mmcblk0p1 `-mmcblk0p2 0 100% / mmcblk2 mmcblk2boot0 mmcblk2boot1 mmcblk2rpmb Is there a specific DTB for this board that makes eMMC visible in Multitool? Thanks!

I wonder how to sponsor or funding to this board?

LMAO! So... What exactly is your question? Did you try "the mouse & keyboard" and they did not work? I would say you will get basic functionality on almost any usb mouse or keyboard on linux. wifi on the other hand can be a hit or miss. A quick search on "USB Logitech Unifier Nano dongle" gave me this: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=373365 so it seems you might want to use solaar to configure the stuff. As for the Inovato Quadra4K, it looks like it is an allwinner H6 processor so I suspect it should work using armbian....

@Bones558 I think the LED is always on by default and doesn't blink. You can try kernel 5.15, I'm using Armbian-unofficial_25.11.0-trunk_Radxa-cubie-a7z_jammy_legacy_5.15.147.img Since I don't have any TTL modules or display adapters, I directly followed the instructions at https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Autoconfig/ to set up the wireless network. After powering it on and waiting for a while, I could directly access SSH. Hope this helps.

Hi, I'm a long time Armbian user and overall extremely happy. It my default Linux distro everywhere! Thanks to everyone who is developing or contributing to it! Every time I pickup a new board and deploy Armbian I have to edit the `armbianEnv.txt` file and change verbosity to 7. The same question repeats in my head. Why is it not the default? Systemd and startup messages spam up like crazy and they have nothing interesting to offer. I do care what hardware did the kernel detect or was a protocol correctly negotiated etc. I personally would have it in reverse, verbose kernel, quiet systemd. But thats just me. Could we at least have parity, if systemd verbose then make kernel verbose too, if kernel quiet then systemd quiet too. I'm trying to understand what was the rationale for having quiet kernel and verbose systemd? Thanks!!

https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Switches/ Check for ARTIFACT_IGNORE_CACHE diy packages are locally cached. automated packages from the CI are stored online in ghcr. not only this, also the status of build framework internals (like stuff in https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/main/lib/functions) since they also can alter a package. "development" should be sufficient.

Build from branch v20250306. error! [ Failed to fetch SHA1 of 'https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git' 'tag' 'v6.12.11' - make sure it's correct ] How to remove the error?

Does anyone here may have recommendations of standard sdcard or flashdrive that supports for installation on amlogic s905x devices? eg: sdcard only sdhc types or it will work with sdxc or any kind of limitations capacities for certain SBC ? . thank you in advance for your most kind replies. best regards

Two Questions: How do I force Armbian/build to rebuild the kernel ? - Is there a `./compiler.sh` flag ? And where does the kernel get cached ? - Is it cached online ? - is it cached on kernel, kernel version, and kernel config hash ? I am trying to get a proper handle on Armbian/build. BTW: There really needs to be a `kernel` tag on Armbian Forum's - `Create New Topic`.

Yes. Please wait. I was busy with other personal projects, so I haven't been doing armbian stuff for a few weeks.

@Робертс I've been following this pinout from the very beginning, but I'm having trouble setting it up. I think I should wait for instructions from you, which you might create. I would be incredibly happy and grateful if you could provide a step-by-step description of the steps for setting up the Chinese ili9488 display and the OrangePi Zero 3 board.Maybe then I will understand where I am making a mistake.Thank you very much for your patience.

I don't know what you could improve right now... But I know that LCD only receives data. My LCD works the same, with its MISO pin connected or disconnected.

Yes, that's a typo. The dc (data/command) should be PC7, and the MOSI (LCD's SDI) is PH7

According to your serial log, the name of the dtb file is "rk-kernel.dtb". You should find that file somewhere below /boot/dtb/ . You can simply copy that from your running system (e.g. using "scp"). But if you want to extract it from an image, you can use e.g. "kpartx -av YOURIMAGE.img" to create loop devices ("/dev/mapper/loop*") for each contained partition, which you can then mount as usual. Too sad that ctrl+c does not seem to work. Did you try having "ctrl+c" already pressed before powering up the board - and keeping it pressed, while it boots? There's also a chance that the board will accidentally boot from the usb-drive, if it contains the same image as the emmc (i.e. the partition UUIDs need to be identical). It happened to me in about 1 out of 3-5 attempts. Described here.

I'm pretty sure is an skipr derivative: the Sovol SV06 Ace GPL github page has empty skiprs.conf.ini files. Your link mentions getting the dts dtb descriptor file for the OEM firmware. It is not on the Sovol page but the second option indicates that it can be extracted from the Sovol Firmware file. A quick search found an amlogic unpacker utility. Is their such a utility for rockchip? I did try to mount the Sovol OEM image as a loopback without success. If anyone is aware of a reliable guide, I'd appreciate getting pointed in the right direction. Edit: Found RKTools Linux_Pack_Firmware It does make me a little nervous but I think this is how most routers update their firmware. Ideally, I would like to boot an initframfs image to test but uboot did not have any pause and "Ctl+C" repeatedly pressed did not halt the boot. I tried several times before concluding that Sovol was making this as difficult as possible. I had another thought, the rkdevtool can download the image and I believe the Radza upgrade_tool can also download the image - documentation is scant

According to https://github.com/redrathnure/armbian-mkspi?tab=readme-ov-file#technical-details the mks-skipr is just an mks-pi with an additional mks-robin-nano attached via uart. That should be the reason, why there aren't separate mks-skipr images, only images for mks-pi. Btw, the images for mks-pi and mks-klipad50 both use the same kernel. After replacing the corresponding .dtb file with the one from your original image, these images should behave identical. Your approach of dd'ing the image from a usb-drive directly to the system that is currently running, sounds as dangerous as replacing a car engine while it's running. You said, that you've successfully used rkdeveloptool for a recovery. If that means, that you have flashed a *full* image to the emmc this way, then I would use this approach to directly flash the desired armbian image to that emmc (without using any other usb drive). Or try to intercept u-boot from the original image to boot from an usb-drive (as I wrote here). Then you could 'dd' an image stored on that usb-drive to the emmc - but neither the source or the destination filesystem should be mounted/in use during that process.

I bricked my original H96MAX TV box while tinkering with it, so I bought a new one. The new unit works fine with both wireless and wired networks on Android, but after flashing the firmware Armbian_26.2.0-trunk.302_H96-tvbox-3566_forky_current_6.18.6_minimal.img, the wired network stops working and only the wireless network is functional. Please help me fix this issue, thank you!

Try this. It worked on radxa-e54c with Cinnamon. rm -rf ~/.local/share/cinnamon && sudo reboot
