Hello Armbian community, Firstly, thank you for the amazing work that you do. Having Armbian has made the setup process so simple, and I really appreciate that I'm completely new to the world of SBCs and Armbian (but not Linux), and this issue had me stumped for a long time. I wanted to share the solution for those who are in the same position as me, as I only found this on Raspberry Pi resources. Sorry if this has already been covered elsewhere in the forums - my searches didn't show any answers from here, and additionally, I keep getting time-locked (forced to wait 30sec) for every forum search. The model of OPI I have is the Orange Pi Zero 2W 4G RAM. I installed the Armbian Bookworm image (Armbian_24.2.6_Orangepizero2w_bookworm_current_6.6.28_minimal.img.xz). The SD card I'm using is a 32GB SanDisk card that is A1 speed. That was a lucky purchase considering I knew nothing of SD cards when I bought it - I just got the cheap thing, lmao. The Problem & its Symptoms The issue I initially had was that when I would try to SSH into my OPI, it would hang for a really long time after inputting user credentials before spitting out something or other about a broken pipe (in other words, timed out because of no user input). I could ping the OPI and it would return the appropriate results: PING 192.168.1.154 (192.168.1.154) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.1.154: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=127 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.154: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=4.15 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.154: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=2.13 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.154: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=3.97 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.154: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=5.19 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.154: icmp_seq=6 ttl=64 time=2.80 ms ^C --- 192.168.1.154 ping statistics --- 6 packets transmitted, 6 received, 0% packet loss, time 5007ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 2.133/24.182/126.853/45.926 ms Unlike a lot of other posts on the forum where the host was unreachable, it wasn't a problem in this instance. I made sure to run `# systemctl enable --now ssh` for the SSH service when setting up for the first time. When I'd try to SSH in, `systemctl status ssh` would say the session was open for my client. Unfortunately, on the client side that was never reflected, but it did show that there wasn't any other kind of network problem at play. The same problem happened without any firewall enabled, so that was not the problem either. I reinstalled the OS 3 times, all times using Balena Etcher, though the first time I did it directly from the .img file rather than the .xz archive. The issue was still not fixed after all those times. There was the option to reset the OpenSSH host keys but I thought every reinstall I did effectively did that anyway, so I didn't bother. :> After a bit of searching elsewhere, I discovered this: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/143142/has-anyone-solved-raspberry-pi-zero-w-ssh-client-loop-send-disconnect-broken Basically, "...open-ssh has relatively recently begun using quality-of-service (QoS) metrics to try to optimize its performance based on the expected behavior of the connection, and its default is to assume a reliability that the Pi Zero W's tiny wifi simply can't deliver; as a result it gets caught waiting for lost packets rather than retrying." The Solution As outlined in the linked post: 1. Open /etc/ssh/sshd_conf with your editor of choice 2. Append `IPQoS 0x00` to the file (append meaning add at the end). This disables the quality of service metrics 3. Restart SSH service (`# systemctl restart ssh`) I can now SSH into the OPI nicely.

Hi, i use on my own build from scratch with framework official Armbian 24.05 with kernel 6.6.30 and DTB file send by ebin-dev here with 408-1800mhz ondemand governor and for the first time since I have it, it is stable and usable with my case of uses and it pass my pattern stability test ! Many thanks to ebin-dev for the great work.

Thanks for confirming. In fact, my patch does not solve the problem and can only be considered as a temporary solution. I think we need a new driver for the audio multiplexer, for example, as is implemented for NXP processors. https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.6.30/source/sound/soc/fsl/imx-audmux.c For these processors, the audio multiplexer configuration is described via DT https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.6.30/source/arch/arm/boot/dts/nxp/imx/imx6qdl-kontron-samx6i.dtsi#L176

I recently flashed armbian desktop for my raspberry pi 5 and I needed libcamera but it was missing. I tried most methods I could find but nothing worked. Any suggestions please.

Thanks for your reply! I am going to give a try!

A friendly warning about doing above. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT CHANGE OWNERSHIP OF FILES IN YOUR HOME THAT SHOULD STILL BELONG TO ROOT OR OTHER USERS/GROUPS!!!! As I stated before, just blindly changing everything in your userspace to belong to you MIGHT work, but I recommend against it since this seems to be something that happened immediately after you wrote the img. Safest way is to reinstall and follow the correct procedure.

Necro thread, but wanted to clarify since not mentioned. The raspberry pi imager does way more than just "write the img to the sd card". It is aimed for use with rpiOS not "any img file". Use something other than that.

Switch to nightly kernels (those are becoming stable in two weeks anyway), update, reboot. Remove / Add kernels and it will work. Use armbian-config -> software to make this easy way. Welcome!!!

Thanks

OMG Thank you!!! Yes this works. This is very exciting, so glad to have a recent image working on the opiz3

Good evening, Armbian noob here (Debian veteran) working with an RPi 5. I've just installed `Armbian_24.2.5_Rpi5b_bookworm_current_6.6.23.img.xz` and would like to build the ZFS modules. I've installed the kernel modules using `armbian-config` but when I try to build I get root@meson:~# dpkg-reconfigure zfs-dkms Deleting module zfs-2.2.3 completely from the DKMS tree.

@sasa Many thanks for pointing out that analog sound just has to be enabled! I just tested and it works. I was dreading trying to debug kernel code when I should have been looking at the fundamental "is it turned on?" I will try the patch to remove the other sound error. As to automatic detection, yes on my orangepizero3 with H618 Allwinner SOC, HDMI detects the monitor and sets the proper resolution.

Hi, I think these messages are not related to analog audio, at least on my custom board with t507 processor, analog audio works with this error. You can simply disable them as it was in the linux kernel 6.1 The sound works for me if I turn it on in the mixer It’s strange, but I have another problem - the sound does not work through HDMI and there is also a problem with reading EDID through the DDC interface. I would be grateful if you could tell me whether automatic detection of monitor or TV resolution via HDMI works for you.

Enable bcachefs filesystem support in rk3588 kernel config (copied from armbian rockpro64 edge config). Description This adds support for the bcachefs filesystem in the rk3588 edge kernel config. Bcachefs is a new and exciting filesystem that is similar to btrfs / zfs, but simpler to use. The relevant kernel options were already in other configs, such as the rockpro64 edge config, but not in the rk3588 edge one. This needs kernel version 6.7+.

🤷‍♂️ perhaps; the branch is at an old period in time and has not been updated anymore, so anything could be...
