A common and effective way to use multiple kernels on a single-board computer (SBC) running Armbian is to use separate SD cards. This approach is especially useful for testing new kernels, experimenting with different kernel versions, or even trying out other Linux distributions all without risking your main, stable system. Since most SBCs prioritize booting from an SD card, this method keeps things simple and reliable. In this tutorial, we’ll walk through how to set up multiple SD cards with different Armbian kernels. PrerequisitesBefore getting started, make sure you have: Your SBC - e.g., Orange Pi, Rock Pi, Odroid, or another supported board.Multiple SD cards - one pe…

Description One user on the forum (see https://forum.armbian.com/topic/27798-orange-pi-4-lts-default-thermal-trip-point-issues/) found issues with Orange PI 4 LTS thermal trip points. Looking into the problem, it is related to a patch introduced long time ago that changed the thermal trip points away from the vendor (and mainline kernel too) supplied ones. After some stress testing with openssl and mbw combined, my board froze and I had to shutdown it manually, let it cool and restart to have again a working system. It happens that, at least on my and forum user cases, the trip points are not doing what they expect to do. This patch corrects the trip points for Opi4 LT…

Arduino Make Your UNO Kit is a kit with two boards, one for the microcontroller and the other for audio, and all components required that can be used to learn how to solder and then Arduino programming. Once soldering and assembly are complete you’ll hopefully get a working Arduino UNO and an audio synthesizer shield. But before you get there, you’ll need to equip yourself with a soldering iron and some soldering tin to solder the components below to the two PCBs.

rpardini's fight with space-containing PARAMs - early May/'23 Turns out @mhoffrog was right, repeat build params need escaping. This simple rabbit goes down a hole that spans the JSON config-dump output, the pipeline JSON parsing, and the GHA matrix encoding. Phew. pipeline: correctly quote params passed over pure strings (eg in the GHA JSON matrixes) so values with spaces are not mangled bash_declare_parser: parse space-separated single-quoted array values correctly ('THIS=has space' is a single token, not two) aggregation: armbian_utils.parse_env_for_tokens() now actually does what it said on the box "split by whitespace, line breaks, commas, and semicolons"; add a…

http://blog.armbian.com/content/images/2025/11/armbian_safe-operating.pngSingle Board Computers (SBCs) like the Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, and Rockchip-based boards pack impressive computing power into compact designs but with that power comes heat. Keeping temperatures within a safe range is critical for performance, stability, and longevity. Most SBCs are designed to operate safely between 0°C and 80°C (32°F to 176°F), though the ideal range depends on the processor and workload. For example, ARM-based chips such as the RK3588 or Broadcom BCM2711 typically idle between 35°C and 50°C, and can safely run under sustained loads up to 70°C-75°C. Once the temperature reaches ar…
