I have a 4G Rev 2 Rock64 that is running like a champ on current - 5.4.2 as of this writing, as far as USB and Ethernet are concerned. I did have to blacklist UAS for all my USB drives, and now the board is rock solid even with heavy disk and network IO. I do have one problem though, I have no sound. I have the following loaded (automatically): root@chdock:/home/sugata# cat /proc/modules |grep snd snd_soc_rk3328 16384 0 - Live 0xffff800008dc9000 And yet, I get this: root@chdock:/home/sugata# aplay -l aplay: device_list:272: no soundcards found... I searched around this forum and nothing obvious came up. Any ideas?

I see that there is a lot of work ongoing on improving the UEFI boot support for Rock 5B and this is quite exciting. In my view this seem to be the ideal route for future SBC boards. However, I am yet to try it so I am still a novice in the area. How do you guys look at the future of UEFI vs U-boot for Linux on SBC’c in general and on the Rock 5B in particular? Will the UEFI version be as capable as a u-boot version or do you see limitations?

I use orangepi 4B. I use console Ubuntu with kernel 4 from Xunlong And my CPU Temperature (by htop) is about 70°C I use console armbian with kernel 5 (Governor = powersave). And my CPU Temperature is about 79°C Why so? I want to get 70°C in armbian too.

I installed panfrost but glxinfo still lists the device as llvmpipe. I'm using Armbian_23.02.2_Rockpi-4cplus_jammy_current_5.15.93_gnome_desktop running wayland. This is how I built panfrost meson . build/ -Dvulkan-drivers= -Dgallium-drivers=panfrost -Dllvm=disabled ninja -C build/ ninja -C build/ install i have no idea what to do next because there is no errors that I can find and I was under the impression that with a kernel 5.1> it is supposed to work. Any help is appreciated

In both Buster and Focal 20.11.1 on helios64 commands directed to a disk increment fields in /proc/diskstats This is incorrect and does not occur in the x86 version of xubuntu Focal. Specifically (see https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/iostats.txt for field descriptions.): Check Power Mode increments "number of reads completed" Smart Return Status, Smart Read Data, and Smart Read Log increment "number of reads completed" and "number of sectors read" The smartd disk monitor uses these commands which makes the disk appear to be active to programs like hd-idle. I hope this is the correct place to report this bug. …

Hi i have a orangepi 4 , i try install armbian mainline based kernel 5.4.y having issue with hdmi, no display, the os cant sense any hdmi connection. But when i try kernel 4.4 the hdmi work with? anyone having the sane issue?

Has anyone here tested the Rock64 successfully with an u-boot version which is not the one from ayufan? I did not have much luck with the rk3328 default config and mainline u-boot when I tried it a while back. The same is true when I tried to use the board config from ayufan with mainline u-boot. The version by ayufan is working in principle but also is rather dated as far as I know and therefore does not support some newer features. Anyone knows if the version from ayufan will be bumped or has a working config for a more recent u-boot version?

I accidentally ripped off a capacitor from the back of the Helios64. This missing capacitor is right below the SATA connector. I searched for the schematic of the board without any success. Does anyone happen to know the value and size of this capacitor?

Note that I want to use Hardware acceleration also later, but the issue is that it seems there's no HA for ffmpeg on the chip as you can see here. Thanks in advance!

On an OrangePi-5b, `apt-get update` a few days ago updated the kernel, and now bluetooth no longer works. What's the proper way to downgrade the kernel to whatever I had before? (armbian-config shows way too many options)? Better yet, get it working again? bluetoothctl does not see the controller at all, and dmesg gives the following: $ dmesg|grep -i bluetoo [ 2.796188] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.22 [ 2.796203] NET: Registered PF_BLUETOOTH protocol family [ 2.796206] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized [ 2.796211] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized [ 2.796214] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized [ 2.796220] Blue…

I'm using Rock64 image with my V88 Piano RK3328 box and when trying to build ZFS (SPL), it gives me an error. It's probably due to the maching kernel headers for running kernel is missing. When i run apt-get install kernel-headers-generic it installs 4.4.116 headers and not 4.4.77 kernel i'm running. How can i get the correct kernel headers? Thanks.

Trying to understand this issue. If I ONLY need the 1Gbs (LAN1) ethernet connection and DO NOT need the 2.5Gbs (LAN2) connection, do I need to perform the "Fix" for this issue? I'll be using Armbian Buster for this device.

Hi guys, can anyone give me a link as to where I can download a working image for the new Nanopim4 v2 - the friendly arm download section is very confusing - it states there is an eMMC image but when I downloaded it it didn't contain a *.img file that I could flash but a lot of other *.gz *.img files e.g. boot.img etc etc

In distributions that include 4.x series kernels, pcie is detected and the built-in broadcom wireless chip is functional with the wl driver. I would like to move to a 5.x series kernel, but I noticed that pcie is not detected at all, and though wifi is detected with the brcmfmac driver, it will not function to scan or connect to anything. I grabbed the latest image from this week (have tried many previous, including building my own armbian image) but no luck. Has anyone gotten these items to work with a 5 series kernel?

Hello My Helios64 arrived two weeks ago, after a loooong trip through the Silk Road all the way down to South Europe. First thing I want to give a GREAT THANK YOU to the people at kobol shop support, as they have helped me with my transport/forwarded/ carrier nightmare loop: the address is in Chinese-no address specified-contact the sender-won’t give you your parcel-please call again- no address specified.... So. After reading a good slice of the wiki I couldn’t find a comprehensive manual/article about the simplest usage of the front panel. Glad if you can point me to such information. The principal source of confusion for me are the comments section of …

Hello, I am quite new to armbian build system. I have rock pi s v13 hardware. I want to change the default UART2 serial console port in Armbian for Rock Pi s to UART0. The reason is I need hardware flow control with one of my serial port. And UART1's RTS/CTS are muxed with UART2. And no other port exposed on Rock Pi s have the hardware flow control pins. Please guide me how I can achieve this.

Kia ora. I am aware that the external USB ports on the Helios are able to deliver up to 900mA per port. I am wondering whether it is possible to find a power source inside the Helios64 that would be able to deliver, say, 2.5A at 5v? Maybe somewhere quite soon after the 12v power in...? 🤔 Jon

Hello, Since few days, my PSU makes a high-pitched noise. As my NAS is installed in my living-room, it is annoying. I have changed my PSU three weeks ago, it was good during these three weeks, but it comes suddenly noisy... Does anyone else has the same issue ? And any ideas on how to fix this ? Thanks

I installed this version (v24.11) of Armbian on a Rock Pi 4A Plus with a PoE hat and observed significant network performance issues. When powered via PoE, the network speed becomes extremely slow and unreliable, averaging around 40 kbps. However, when I switch to using a power brick, the network operates as expected, reaching up to 1 Gbps. I also tested an older version (v24.8.4) and found that the network functions correctly with both the PoE hat and power brick. Could anyone provide insights into what might be causing these issues with the newer image?

Hi all Been playing with this rockpi s bluetooth . I noticed debian kernel 5.x and bluetoothctl, just hangs. No issues with debian kernel 4.x. Anyone else had this, and able to get it to work?

Hi all, anyone here ever used a Khadas Tone Board on a Nanopi M4 ? I've just bought one but can't get any sound out of it. What I'm trying to achieve is run Logitech media server in conjunction with squeezelite using the Khadas as my DAC. LMS and Squeezelite both installed and run without errors BUT ! there is no sound. How can I make the Khadas the default output device ? Edit I have it working now you have to edit /etc/defaults/squeezelite and tell it what card to use SL_SOUNDCARD="hw:CARD=Control,DEV=0"

Hi all, I have several NanopiM4 SBC's, some are Nanopim4 and others Nanopim4v2. I use the Nanopim4v2 image on all of them and it works beautifully. When I ssh into the boxes I see which doesn't look great on here but it's basically NPIM4V2, I would like to change it to NPIM4 for the non M4V2 boards - anyone know how this is generated ? I don't even know what to call it ! Splash screen ? Logo ? Hope this makes sense

Greetings, I can't seem to find any documentation on how to access the only PWM port on the Nano M4 which happens to reside on the 2nd set of pins. It's listed as GPIO2 and the PWM pin is pin 23 which they label as GPIO_C6/PWM1(3V). SInce any documentation I find on GPIO has to do with the 40 pin port, how can I program the PWM using wiringPI-Python? I wonder why Nano chose to disregard the other PWM pins that other Raspberry Pi type boards retained like the Asus Tinkerboard. Or am I missing something? If so, can someone enlighten me as to how to access PWM on the Nano M4. Preferably using Python 3.

Hello, good morning from Spain. My sincere congratulations to the Kobol and Helios64 team. A really good and well designed product. I have a question about the compatibility of a hard drive with the Helios64 NAS. My hard drive is ---> https://www.senetic.es/product/0F38459 <--- ( Wd Ultrastar 18TB) With a capacity of 18TB, my question is: Is that hard drive (18TB) compatible with the Nas Helios64? I think that in the Nas Helios64 technical description, it only accepts a maximum capacity of 16 Tb hard drives Thank you very much for the information and help.

Hi Is it possible to install the system on NMVE M2 ? Or how to completely transfer the SD card OS to NMVEIs it possible to install the system on NMVE M2 ?

I saw some initial work on supporting uugear's vivid unit (rk3399 based). I was wondering in what state that is, what is required to complete that work and if there are plans to add that support to the mainline? Thanks in advance, Markus

The initial installation went fine from the flashed image on SD card, and still works fine. However, after using armbian-config to attempt to transfer the OS and bootloader to the eMMC card, nothing actually changes. It says it formats the card and then goes through the process of transferring the files, or at least it looks like it does. But when I reboot it it's still running on the SD card and no files appear to have been transferred to the eMMC. fstab lists the UUID of the SD card and not the eMMC at all; this is also true of the bootenv section of armbian-config. One thing I did notice is that there are some new directories under /mnt : '/mnt/nand-sata-in…

I have managed to install mainline u-boot on my 5B. i copied the 5It boots from both MMC and the SD. To boot from the sd, you have to interrupt the boot process and tell it to boot from MMC0. the default boot order is: mmc1 mmc0 nvme scsi usb pxe dhcp spi I've tried a number of things to correct the issue but none worked. In the aliases section of rk3588s-orangepi-5b.dts, I had to device sdchi as MMC0 (it really is MMC1). Not it boots like it should. Is there a better way to get u-boot to boot from SD card first? Thanks!

Hello, I have a problem with my OrangePi 4, if I connect it with the operating system already installed at the factory (Android 8), I can get my USB keyboard and mouse connected to work normally. However, whenever I try a new image, be it Debian, Armbian or another version of Ubuntu, I can only get the mouse to work, the keyboard never works and I get stuck in the login screen where I can't write even the username and password. Can someone help me?

Using Image "Armbian_community_25.5.0-trunk.185_Orangepi5-max_bookworm_current_6.12.17_minimal.img.xz" on orange pi 5 max, the fan connected to the designated 1.25mm pwm fan connector won't do anything at all regardless of the cpu load. Just to verify the connector was fine I tested the same on the same board with the same fan, using orange pi's image "Orangepi5max_1.0.0_ubuntu_jammy_server_linux5.10.160" and the fan worked fine under cpu stress.

Hi all, I'm following a tutorial by @NicoD on building an Armbian image, the problem I have, is, my board ( NanoPiM4V2 ) isn't shown in the picklist - I 've tried one of the many RK3399 offerings ( Rockchip64 ) but whilst it built ok it didn't boot, anyone here know which board I should use ? Edit I found if you pass EXPERT=yes as a parameter to the install script the board is listed - I'm building it now and will post back the result End edit

I am now working on Bionic Desktop for Orange Pi rk3399. I want to do something similar to what have been done on Raspberry. i.e to use hdmi ddc as i2c (i2c over hmdi) http://blog.koalo.de/2013/11/i2c-over-hdmi.html I could run i2cdump, ic2get and i2cwrite without any problem but I can't find the i2c device for hdmi ddc of my OrangePi rk3399. My wild guess is that I need to enable hdmi ddc by modifying the uboot folder. However, I don't know how to start with. Can anyone give me some pointers? Thanks in advance Eli

Hello Armbian Team I have one banana pi r2 pro board(https://wiki.banana-pi.org/Banana_Pi_BPI-R2_Pro).

Hey there! I’ve been running Home Assistant Supervised on Armbian for a while, but lately I keep seeing a repeat issue after system upgrades (Docker or kernel updates). After upgrading, some HA containers stop unexpectedly, for example: odroid-c2-homeassistant:2025.12.2 exits with code 137 aarch64-addon-configurator:5.8.0 exits with code 143 My current setup runs on Helios64/RK3399 · kernel 6.12.58-current-rockchip64 · Docker CE 29.1.3 (f52814d).

As the title states - I've been away for a while and can't remember where I should post 🙄

Hi guys, I still have two 21.5-inch tablets here, on which I would like to install Armbian. The mainboard is a Sunchip AD-Z33 V1.1 with an RK3288 on board. The board has 2GB RAM and 8 GB flash memory. However, it also has an LVDS slot to which the touchdisplay is connected. Here you can see the equipment in detail: https://www.embeddedsystemboard.com/sale-11364924-rk3288-industrial-arm-board-multi-function-linux-os-i2c-interface-touch-screen.html Do you think that Armbian runs on it and that the functions are still available? Or maybe an RK3288 ArmbianTV box version could run on this as an alternative?

Not sure if this is the place for this since it isn't really a software issue, but... So I decided to take apart my Helios64 to apply the 2.5Gb/1Gb Ethernet fix and things went badly. I ended up accidentally destroying the 402 caps on one of the SATA ports by scrapping the board against the standoffs as I was pulling it out of the case. As far as I can tell, they should be part of the SATA standard, 10nF DC blocking caps, so I have a rough idea of what they might have been but I don't know for sure since they are simply gone. Does anyone happen to know what those caps were or have access to a circuit diagram or BOM I could referenc…

I install armbian on the sd card, then insert it into firefly ROC-RK3328-CC. At the start, it flashes quickly 2 times, makes a small pause and flashes quickly 2 more times. Before that, it worked correctly, but I decided to reinstall the system and got this problem. I tried to install the system from firefly, as a result, only debian 9 worked, but it also worked with problems (at the first launch it reached the desktop, after rebooting and connecting the keyboard and mouse, it did not go beyond tty).

Greetings ! I am new to Armbian , I am using Rockpi4B for our development . I have successfully built and checked the working of the image. We have few developed application and service files . How can I include these applications and service files as a part of Armbian image. Thanks in Advance

Hi friends... I understand that you have to be careful with the power supply and SD cards. For the above, I bought 2 power supplies (original) and several SD cards from different suppliers. After several attempts I can't get it to start from the sdcard (it only starts from the nvme). I burned the images on Linux (wipefs + dd + gparted) and Windows (SD Memory Card Formatter + balenaEtcher). Also, I used RKDevTool to burn the images to the sd card and nothing (evidently I deleted the spi content). --- begin part of the log --- U-Boot SPL board init U-Boot SPL 2017.09-gc060f28d70-220414 #zyf (Apr 18 2022 - 18:13:34) Failed to set cpub01 Faile…

Hello People. First of all, thank you to all the people that puts work and time into this project. It's my first time posting here. I've been trying to solve this problem by myself since this board it's unsupported now, but I had no luck.

U-boot defaults to "In: serial" and also listens for packets (its assumed that its a keyboard/terminal) so that a keypress can stop autoboot. I am successfully using /dev/ttyS2 after modifying /boot/armbianEnv.txt (Console=Display) and masking the gettyS2 service. The device/system I have connected to UART2 (/dev/ttyS2) periodically sends bytes. Thus, if a remote restart or a cold boot is performed (power glitch or power reset) while that system is connected to UART2, it triggers the abort of Autoboot. Requiring the other system/device to be disconnected from UART2, a cold boot of the RockPi4 and then reconnection of the system/device to UART2. I…

Hello. I use a Rock64 and installed the latest night build (https://dl.armbian.com/rock64/nightly/Armbian_5.42.180328_Rock64_Debian_stretch_dev_4.16.0-rc3.7z) and installed it to my SD card. After booting there was no "/dev/spidevX.X" file. I tried to enable the spidev module (modprobe spidev) and also tried to add it to /etc/rc.local but there was still no spidev device file. Is there a problem with the module? Do I have to enable something else?

First of all, apologies if this has been asked before, I did search the forums and couldn't find anything related... My NanoPi M4V2 has an NVME still running Debian Buster and I have been delaying upgrading/flashing as I expect this to be not that trivial... My understanding is that the recommended upgrade path is to reflash the SD-card and start over, which is fine with me. However, I do want to ensure it will then again boot from the NVME drive as it currently does! My question is if I can do that directly (flash SD, boot from it, and change boot to NVME) and I will have all the previous data on the NVME *OR* …

Are there any plans to offer a 2-bay version of Helias64? Whould it be possible to purchase the board only - without case?

Hello everyone, I am new to this so please forgive my eventual mistake. I have a Rock 4 SE with Armbian Linux 6.12.13-current-rockchip64 (bookworm) for Rockpi 4B (because there is not a special version for SE it re-commanded to use 4B). And I try to use the CSI port to connect a Camera Raspberry Pi V2.1. And I does not work, I have tried to add different value to the overlay in /boot/armbianEnv.txt like overlays=rockchip-csi csi or imx219 with a reboot each time, but it doesn't seem to work. Looking around, it seems like there is a lot of issue with csi camera and rock 4 with armbian (and sometime other os). But none seems to have…

Hi, I'm making a Media Box. I've got MVP compiled and optimized for gstreamer vaapi support. I was wondering how far off is DRI2 support for the mali fbdev armsoc kernel driver ? I haven't found all the source to build it. Rockchip doesn't list the NanoPC-T4. Is the FireFly a close fascimile ? The only reason whysk is I noticed the Firefly dtb is included in my nanopc-t4 install. The RockChip's Github repository for x86-video-armsock didn't list the NanoPC-T4 in their source. I found SunXi, Allwinner, and Firefly Also would using the rev04 dtb fix some issues (bluetooth) Sometimes bluetooth initializes.. for several rebo…

Hi guys, I recently bought a Rock PI 4 and installed Armbian Buster with kernel 5.4.6. The os is booting fine but I am facing major performance issues when trying to download from the internet. I have also a Raspberry Pi 4 connected to the same switch (via LAN) and when I execute the following command curl -L http://speedtest.belwue.net/1G > /dev/null I am getting download speed of approx 8MB/s on my Raspberry but only 2MB/s on my Rock PI 4. From connection side and rooting there is no difference. While using the same Armbian version on my Rock64 I am getting the same speed as my Raspberry Pi. Is this a known problem with the Rock PI…

I am still trying unsuccessfully to get the sound through the rt5651 codec using the main line kernel (I use NanoPC-T4). I corrected the dts/dtb file and assembled the kernel module. The kernel performs i2s bus and codec switching. The corresponding audio device appears on the system. I start a alsamixer. I can change settings. When I change some settings, I can even hear clicks in the dynamic. So the codec chip is powered up. And the codec chip is controlled through the i2c bus. I can switch the audio output through the codec. But there is no sound. I can 't figure out what the reason is. The dts/dtb files for main line kernel and rockchip 4.4.xxx kernel are slightly dif…

Hi, I've installed Armbian Jammy on a Rock 3A. It seemed to run very stable, (much more so than the Rock 64) however the first IMPORTENT issue I've found is that the system appears to freeze when Chromium is launched as well as VSCodium. That is to say I loose mouse and keyboard control, so I can't tell what else may be effected. There may be others, still checking. Any help appreciated.

I tried the stable Arabian image for rock 64 and found out that full HD video is played with strong brakes, when playing HEVC image is missing How to force video to be reproduced normally, maybe I don't understand something ?

Hello, I stupidly upgraded without thinking about the possible consequences. 6.1 to 6.2. Ive had my /home on nvme. But the nvme drive is no longer recognized. I have managed to get my display back, Im not sure about my panel yet. I had restore my device tree overlay. Ive hacked around losing the nvme. But it would be good to get my nvme drive back. I've got some work to do to deal with not having that storage and what was on it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Alternatively, maybe it's not too hard to roll back to 6.1? I haven't contemplated that.

Hi everyone! I got a Radxa E25 network computer with two 2.5GBit ethernet ports. The first one is coming up, the second one, however, does not. After comparing to the Debian Bullseye image by Radxa, I figured they don't bring the second port up either but for a different reason. Finally, I found a release on Radxa's Github that brings up both ports. I'll give you the output of that one and the Armbian and the Radxa E25 Bullseye images marked accordingly.

Hi, New builds (hosted by armbian AND self compiled) of armbian do not post / boot at all. Completely black screen on hdmi outpout. Ethernet link lights do not light up. It's like there is no bootable media inserted (it definitely is). I have tried many combinations of different kernels and ubuntu versions. None work. Board: nanopc t6 8gb ram They used to work, and archived copies from november 2023 work, booting perfectly. I also compiled one back then which also worked. But now this is not working any more. Does anyone have idea why it no longer posts? Thanks Luke
