Hi, trying to download the latest images for amlogic-s9xx-tv-box and getting error 404 (except the last two files Plucky/Trixie at the very bottom of the page). Github seems to work fine. Firefox here, win7/win11. No problems with it aprox 2months back.. Any hint plz?

I think using the ubuntu keyserver is good as well but that this is a 'small' issue, it is easy to miss a small thing in a project this huge consider the number of boards, kernels, and distributions (including the different releases). if this little thing breaks, we can fix in our installed os using these methods.

A fix has been pushed. It will take up to a week until all new images have it.

Hi everyone, I have wrong color in screen MPI3501 , when i test to output buffer to color red,green, blue, it seem like Red. —> blue Green —> red Blue. —> green Here is how i test (i need to stop lightdm service before this) (when boot the image should be orange not green) I am using display MPI3501 http://www.lcdwiki.com/3.5inch_RPi_Display which i heard that is a clone of waveshare 3,5 inch https://www.waveshare.com/3.5inch-RPi-LCD-C.htm I'm using Debian Bookworm. I know that it not the same as Armbian, but the config kinda the same. About driver for ili9486, here is the info To use this screen i create overlay-user. and and ili9486.dts. Here is the content of it and I add this overlay to /boot/orangepiEnv.txt Note that i think the field "bgr" and "init" not working, i try to change it to make bgr from 0x00 to 0x01, or send init different at 0x10000036 but nothing change. Also note that, i also try to cat raw data from /dev/fb0 and using ffmpeg --> It is true color Also here is the dmesg log Is anyone here familiar with this problem, or ever try to change bgr field of this ili9486 ? Best Regard !!

I think this is @Igor's signing key aml-s9xx-box:~:# gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 93D6889F9F0E78D5 gpg: key 93D6889F9F0E78D5: 1 duplicate signature removed gpg: key 93D6889F9F0E78D5: public key "Igor Pecovnik <igor@armbian.com>" imported gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: imported: 1

also getting this on latest community builds of aml-s9xx-box at https://www.armbian.com/amlogic-s9xx-tv-box/ e.g. https://dl.armbian.com/aml-s9xx-box/Bookworm_current_xfce ``` PRETTY_NAME="Armbian_community 25.8.0-trunk.90 bookworm" ``` wondering if something is broken or missing on the build

this soldering is visionally not very attractive 😛 , but at lest the result is what counts 👍

We don't deal with Android. Better check xda developers forums.

Description This is a draft/wip for adding https proxy caching. This is especially designed for machines hosting lots of github runners to reduce their bandwidth usage by sacrificing disk space. http caching has been merged already and only needed minor changes. Caching https however is way more complicated. Encryption needs to be broken and rewrapped and then obviously downloads will fail due to cert issues. Classic MITM. So a new certificate authority (CA) needs to be put in place to allow these "fake" certs. Why is this even necessary? Well one major part is downloads from upstream apt repositories. The other major part is downloading 3rd party repositories and artifacts from OCI/ORAS/whatever the correct name for that system is. They do not allow plain http downloads but redirect to https. So in order to cache these encryption must be broken on the fly. On custom runs this works already with the mentioned extension. However when the build framework is used within a GH Actions Runner environment it would need to detect this and enable the extension automatically. No clue how to do that or overall if it is worth diving even deeper into this topic. Therefore this RFC to collect feedback. Also lots of fail-safe checks are missing. Sometimes I had to mix run_host_command_logged and chroot_sdcard since pipes don't work using latter. Documentation summary for feature / change Yes, this would need documentation.

Okay I will try that patch and the build switch that you mentioned. About the RAM: It is SKHynix 966.3MB(989480kB) https://linux-sunxi.org/File:A088_Board_Front_3.jpg I then tried an archived image for the cubieboard and so far no errors and runs quite stable: https://armbian.atomonetworks.com/archive/cubieboard/archive/ Is this a kernel issue then? Maybe I should compile with an older kernel. The stable one is 6.1.63 Thanks a lot for your continued support, Shivam

Hi, Tried this Opi5-Plus with kernel-6.15.2-edge-rockchip64 but mpv doesn't seems to have vpu hardware acceleration Does this repository works on RK3588 - Orange Pi 5 Plus Debian Trixie with mainline kernel 6.15.2-edge-rockchip64?

I think @amazingfate made a custom Chromium package at some point that included optimizations for rk35xx but no clue about its status. Might be even included in mesa-vpu extension? Firefox probably won't work since that would need adjustments as well and I think messing with browsers is a pita already. topics merged as duplicates.

I don't know. I don't have this board nor is the Armbian team aware of its state since it is community supported. This looks like some upstream (Debian to say) uboot package which certainly does not support this board. IIRC u-boot versions for rk3588, depending on family are something like 2017.09 or 2024.01 (both vendor cases) and 2025.01 or .04 for current/edge.

I installed 25.04 with kernel 6.1 on the orange pi 5 plus, then I installed vanilla gnome. Then I installed the GPU drivers & GStreamer, then I enabled the GPU in the Armbian config. This works great, hardware acceleration works on GNOME. However, chrome/firefox are both super laggy and do not have hardware acceleration. What are the proper steps to get hardware acceleration (browser & video player) on this platform? Yes I'm aware this is considered a developmental build, I'm just asking for general advice as I'm fairly new to the OPI5+ and don't know the general steps of doing so. Thanks!

Right, I was thinking what if you try forcing a different mirror via DOWNLOAD_MIRROR: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Switches/#hidden-options-for-advanced-users-default-values-are-marked-bold I cant guarantee this will work though. While A2 cards offer better performance, they are not as well supported. That is still the case to the best of my knowledge. Right one of the caveats I did find with getting HDMI working was the likelihood of increased taints so I think this patch is also required: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/drivers/gpu/drm/sun4i/sun4i_hdmi_enc.c?h=v6.14.11&id=ae048fc4f96d716a2ef326bd6e894694057c078c It is a possibility that either the RAM could be faulty or just unstable and need fine tuning. The problem is that really old system images tend to be less picky about RAM issues and will still try to boot. Normally I would say try installing memtester but that seems to detect failures in the most recent kernel yet my 6.6 build found no memory issues. Besides the originally Android image, have you tested with one of the archived images? More importantly what exactly are the RAM chips used on the board? Can you confirm the actual RAM capacity? From my experience, my second pcduino2 board with the Skhynix RAM had these sorts of problems. Sorry I cant be of more help Ryzer

So I kept trying to build inside VirtualBox and on my 3rd try I was able to get an image built (along with the patch that you shared). I tried that on the Class 10 card and got some "Bad Page Map in process xxx" errors, although it did boot and I was able to set it up. On running any command I keep getting these errors and most commands fail. Then I got an A2 card and tried the same image on that, with the same results. Towards the end it tries to turn HDMI on but fails because of said errors. I am attaching the terminal output from the A2 card run here: https://pastebin.com/7H70dUNN What do you think the errors are related to? The RAM? I want to mention that since I have the original Android image on the NAND, I can confirm that it runs okay. Thanks,' Shivam

Same problem here, but enabling the audio codec on armbian-config was not sucessfull on this version: v25.5.1 for Orange Pi Zero running Armbian Linux 6.12.30-current-sunxi Any solution?

@Werner You suggested using armbian-install. You meant to update boot loader in current installation? If I'll do this will it break currently working booting from nvme?

In that case I would strongly recommend purchasing an A1 rated SD card before trying anything else. If you are getting MMC related errors these are definitely related to the SD card rather than RAM. Once you have done this then we can look into DRAM config if need be. Trying to enable the display post build is kinda tricky. If it was just a matter of adding the HDMI display nodes, then yes that is normally possible however the display driver needs a slight patch in order to work. Now if you had kernel headers installed you could try to build the driver however another current problem means that custom loaded modules seem to not load/unload properly. Seeming as you are using the pre-built Cubieboard images, it already has the display nodes in place but not the recent patches to sun4i-drm. Looking again at the build log you provided earlier it looks like something is blocking the download of bookworm distro which is why it is failing. what happens if you trying ping apt.armbian.com? Given that this issue happens with bookworm, I wonder if it will also happen if trying build with Ubuntu Noble instead. I am currently working on formally including the display patches on my latest development branch so please bear with me. Best of luck Ryzer

i need help too.... please

Hello, @sicxnull, Thanks for all your work on the H96X box. I'm trying to install Armbian on my x96q V5.1, your image (Armbian-unofficial_24.11.0-trunk_X96q-v5-1_bookworm_current_6.6.44_mate_desktop.img.xz) works great apart from I'd really like a server instead of desktop. I'm just wanting to use it for a VPN (Tailscale) exit node. Would it be hard to build a server version? I have no Linux experience.
