New "How to build your own Armbian images" video :

Hi all. I made a new video on how to build Armbian images. These days you can use your ARM64 SBC to do this. For Windows users there's WSL2 you can use. Here my video about that. Greetings, NicoD

Indeed not Armbian related at all. Tho, I might have the answer for you in an Armbian related video.

What is the display it's default resolution? WIth displays other than 1080p/1440p/4k you can have problems. Example 1,366 × 768. Or with VGA to HDMI adapters there can be problems. Also I'd try another HDMI cable if using HDMI. What image are you using? For the plus you need to use these. https://xogium.performanceservers.nl/dl/orangepi5-plus/archive/ Debugging with UART would be helpful to see what's happening.

1. Download balerna Etcher and install it on a compatible machine(pc) 2. Write the image to sd-card 3. Boot sd-card, go to "sudo armbian-install" choose "install to eMMC, system on eMMC" or something like that. 4. See screenshot Save yourself some time and use Monka his images that have VPU and GPU pre-installed together with some other tools like nicod-armbian-gaming. https://monka.systemonachip.net/opi5-plus/

Why not buy an Armbian supported SBC? Most TV-Boxes are crap. Overheating and low-quality. For better quality you also pay a lot more. So then why not buy a good SBC? RK3399 ain't that expensive and has great IO. RK3588 is high end so cost more, but it's future proof. OrangePi5+ should be best value. I don't have it, so can't say much about it. NanoPi R6S/R6C isn't that expensive. The C has NVMe and USB3, and very fast CPU. If you want to use full sized HDD's then look at the Odroid HC4. It has the S905X3. As powerful as RPi4(when not OC) and 2 SATA for full sized HDDs. But no USB3 or other IO. It does have HDMI. RK3568 is also a SoC that has great IO and not too expensive. Not sure if there are Armbian supported boards with it. RK3566 less IO but still better than any RPi. I only had one ok TV-Box from a bunch. The Mecool KM6 with S905X4, but that doesn't have Armbian support. S905X3 should have better support. But you are never certain all hardware will work. TV-box manufactures ofter use different components for the same model TV box. So some people might have wifi working, but others don't.

I'll start with an old one. I'd like to see it in the backgrounds folder replacing the one now because the one used now isn't correct.

What desktop are you using? You can disable wifi on gnome and xfce. But it's simple to turn it on again. If there's no wifi device found xfce4 will not show anything about wifi. Try 'lshw -C network' and see if it's still there. Output of 'armbianmonitor -u' could help too.

You mean GPU acceleration? Show the output of "glxinfo -B" And would help if you'd do "armbianmonitor -u" and give the result. The ppa responsible for Panfork on RK3588 is from @amazingfate Might be something broke. I hope not.

Could you explain a bit more about your procedures? SSH is something basic that should just work. Are you using wifi or ethernet? Is the guest device on windows, linux or OSX? What software are you using? Can you try an image from the archive to see if it's better? https://armbian.hosthatch.com/archive/ Are you sure the OPi0 is booted? It might be power cycling if you've got a bad PSU. Best way to debug would be to use uart. You could also use your router its webpage to see if it's on, and what IP address is used. Maybe it's switching ip? To do that use "ip a" on linux or "ipconfig" on windows to see the default gateway. Then type that in a browser. Look on your router if there's a username and password. Many reasons I could think of, but without enough info there's no way to know. Good luck.

Hi all. I made a new video about Armbian on the Khadas VIM3. Both standard Armbian and Monka his Widevine and Gaming image. Here it is :

You can try images from the archive. https://xogium.performanceservers.nl/archive/orangepi3/archive/ Might be possible these images didn't build. @IgorIs there any reason for this? Or bug in build automation?

Hi all. Here my review video about the Mixtile Blade 3. An RK3588 ARM SBC with a special connector to make it possible to connect multiple of these boards in a cluster. But it can also be used well as desktop or server device. It has all the bells and whistle's an RK3588 can have like dual 2.5GbE, m-PCIe, NVMe, HDMI-out + 2 x DP on USB-C and HMDI-in, ... Here is my video : Greetings, NicoD

Should work. What fan is it and what pins did you use? You need to connect the ground to ground and vcc to 5V. So for the OPi4LTS it would be ground in pin3 from top left and vcc pin2 or pin1 from top left. Not sure if it's the same for OPi4 or OPi4B...

@Björn EiríkssonYou need to create a partition on the NVMe for it to work. I think that might be the issue.

It would help if you'd say what board you're using and what image. With the info you give we know nothing.

@balbes150 I've done as you told me. Installed Android on eMMC, booted the Armbian with boot.ini file. Removed uboot directory in /usr/lib, installed to eMMC. On the end it said "no uboot found, quiting" If I now try to boot the board I only get this.

@balbes150 I now was able to install Armbian on eMMC from sd-card with Ubuntu 22.04 on eMMC. But after the install it doesn't boot from eMMC. Boot-loop. Here the output :

64GB sd but only 5GB is needed. 16GB eMMC Boot from eMMC system on eMMC It now works after installing Ubuntu 22.04 with OOWOW on eMMC and then boot Armbian from sd and do armbian-install to eMMC. But it doesn't boot the image from eMMC and doesn't boot the sd-card anymore either with Armbian + boot.ini file on. I can still boot the OOWOW sd-card. Will try again to install Ubuntu, boot armbian from sd, delete partition on eMMC and create a MS DOS table and no partition...

@balbes150 Unable to install to eMMC. "Partition too small. Needed: 5124 MB Available: MB" I've formatted the eMMC and created a partition but still the same. The eMMC is 16GB, so should be enough.

@balbes150Also works with Android on the eMMC.

That works. Empty eMMC and empty SPI with latest Armbian on SD : I will now install Android on eMMC and see if that also boots. Thank you.

@balbes150 This is armbian on sd with empty eMMC and SPI. Boot loop.

@balbes150 I've got the full output of Armbian on SD and Android on eMMC and it runs Android. I hope that's all you need.
