Good day, I have Opi 5 and bought this display https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005641383181.html?src=google&aff_fcid=66031a1404104c2cb62a43359c4edcd8-1705719622481-01990-UneMJZVf&aff_fsk=UneMJZVf&aff_platform=aaf&sk=UneMJZVf&aff_trace_key=66031a1404104c2cb62a43359c4edcd8-1705719622481-01990-UneMJZVf&terminal_id=b834b596955b44a1bf643629f5ba5647&afSmartRedirect=y . It was a blind buy ... And now I can't get it work if its even possible. I'm its my first time trying to get display on these boards usually use them trought Monitor or TV and it works flawlessly. Cant find even config.txt . But now im lost at how to get it work .. I am new to this so I would appreciate any tips or help . Have a good day

I want to install jellyfin as a docker container on my Orange pi 5. How can I enable hardware acceleration for it? On the container page (https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/jellyfin) there are instructions for various options, but orange pi 5 is not there of course. I have enabled 3D acceleration as mentioned on the armbian page for orange pi 5.

and, BTW, this will probably work on any SBC that has pwm and working port of wiringPi (wiringOP is much simpler than the dtbo method, IMO) WHY: I don't like fans that run full speed ALL the time pwm fans are a bit limited on the ground in small size, and expensive The SBC has pwm pins, so why not use them none of the examples I have found are adequate, either gpio off/full or excessive python scripts, 40 lines or more,, the bash script is ~ 10 lines Some of the wiringOP/gpio packages don't work (ubuntu-full desktop) try the commands in rc.local, if they don't work, then,,, dpkg -l |grep wiring; apt remove ..... git clone https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/wiringOP.git,, also install lm-sensors (you may have to make link, this puts gpio in /usr/local/bin, this is branch next) in rc.local: gpio mode 0 pwm #using wPi pin #'s, from gpio readall sleep 500e-3 #pause needed gpio pwm 0 900 #starts for sure gpio pwm 0 380 #slow to MIN until cron adjusts ----- gpio pwm <pin> NNN ,,,, NNN is what I will call PWR, to get range give a PWR too large, the error will give range If the PWR is too low the the fan won't start, even 800 is only 90% start The fan turns all the time, but not at full speed, at MIN you can almost count the turns (maybe 150 rpm) You have to find the PWR number for MIN for your fan, start at 300, it should run for hours, if not add 20, retest When you get some #, then add 10%. With this number, fan should run forever the script that cron calls every minute or 2 #!/usr/bin/bash TEMP=`sensors|grep bigcore0 -A3 |grep temp1 |tr -s ' '| cut -d ' ' -f 2|cut -c 2-3` #adjust grep as suitable, fails >99 echo $TEMP #TEMP=$1 #for testing, will error if $1 is blank PWR=$(("$TEMP" * 11)) #or any other number you choose echo $PWR if [ "$PWR" -gt 999 ]; then #check to see if PWR is in 'correct' range PWR=999 elif [ "$PWR" -lt 380 ] ; then #if this number is suitable for YOUR fan PWR=380 fi gpio pwm 0 $PWR ----- obviously comment out echo lines when debugging finished And now the wiring, it is stupid simple (arrows are both connections AND current flow) (-ve) <-- E pwm --> R --> B (+ve) --> Fan --> C if R is 1k, not enough drive to turn on transistor, 330 is 'iffy', 220 is OK, I have 180, depends on transistor Oh, BTW, scope told me pulses are +, so transistor is NPN, if you couldn't follow circuit logic (TO92 OK, unless fan huge) ---- and now pwmTone,,, absolutely nothing on web gpio pwmTone <pin> <frequency> ,, sounds good, right. well range likely changes, neutral as long as you know plus: fan starts MUCH better, even 1/2 PWR minus: fan barely slows down even with very low PWR If anyone knows more, please reply..... maybe there should be 5-10k pwm --> (-ve) to ensure pwm turn-off??? ---- I guess if you don't have a scope you could feed a LED + R, see if it dims (?

Hello, sorry if this has been answered somewhere else. I was just wondering how i upgrade my Orange Pi 5 running Arbmian 23.11.1 Bookworm w/ Linux 5.10.160-legacy-rk35xx to the latest Kernel. I tried using `sudo armbian-config` and updating via that with kernel upgrades unfrozen but it doesn't seem to work. Is there something I'm missing? Startup splash below: ___ ____ _ ____ / _ \| _ \(_) | ___| | | | | |_) | | |___ \ | |_| | __/| | ___) | \___/|_| |_| |____/ Welcome to Armbian 23.11.1 Bookworm with Linux 5.10.160-legacy-rk35xx System load: 4% Up time: 0 min Memory usage: 8% of 3.83G IP: 192.168.1.69 10.121.215.1 CPU temp: 40°C Usage of /: 6% of 57G RX today: 38.2 MiB

This image works OK, and we now have both a 6.7 kernel AND graphics. Minor issues: EzCast stupid windows Wifi adapter does not plug and play. The vertical USB port does not sense plugging in a device (Wifi) Good work, Gullik

Have an incident where I tried installing a newer kernel in an nvme working setup and the device wont post. My original installation flash card is working but is giving me problems. So I got 2 others and attempted to boot new version of the image and Im getting no post. I was able to solve my original problem by installing a legacy version in flash and copying /boot over to nvme. I also attempted rebuilding the mme partitions with no success. But it seems that there is something not working right with kernel 6.7.

FYI. Searching some forums around the web, stumbled on a post that indicated the TU3 Nano would work on the OPi 5. I thought I would give it a try. It worked for me plugged it in reboot. Download speed topped out at 200mb on the usb3 (top plug) connected to 5Ghz wifi. Happy days. Running the Feb.27 stable version of Armbian_23.02.2_Orangepi5_jammy_legacy_5.10.110_gnome_desktop. TC

Hello people, Happily running Bookworm, because it was the mainstream download for OPI5 a few months ago, I now see that the main download for OPI is back to Jammy. Apart from hardware accceleration, Bookworm runs great for me. In fact HA is not crucial for my server usage, though it would be nice. Question: what is the reason the main OPI5 download is now back to Jammy in stead of Bookworm? And what would be the advantages of going back from Bookworm to Jammy? (Got the aluminium passively cooling case for the OPI5, so far it's been great, 10 minutes of stresstesting all 8 cores doesn't get above 70 degrees celsius. For reference my Meko 3588 box without any cooling reaches over 80 degrees. On that Mekobox I am running Portainer, Docker, HomeAssistant, MosquitoServer, very stable for months and months) Bas Hamstra

I am using Wifi/BT USB dongle to connect network for Orange Pi 5. But it does not work with Armbian. It works smoothly with Orange Pi's Ubuntu and Debian distros. I just need to insert the dongle into USB 3 to work. Is there anything I can do to use the dongle with Armbian? My dongle is "USB WiFi Bluetooth Adapter Dual Band 2.4/5.8Ghz Wireless RTL8821CU Don-ig"; https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/404244701011

Anyone tried installing Steam Link? There seems to be an image in Raspberry OS but I cannot find a deb image for aarch64. Official flatpack is x64 only...

Hi, The release notes for Armbian 23.11 state, under Key Improvements in This Release, "Mainline Kernel for RK3588 with experimental HDMI support." I am currently running the default 5.10.160-legacy-rk35xx kernel If I wanted to switch to and try out the mainline kernel for RK3588 with experimental HDMI support, would I do something like this: sudo apt install linux-image-collabora-rockchip-rk3588 After testing, If I want to rollback to the default legacy kernel, what are the steps involved? Apologies if there are instructions elsewhere that cover this. Thanks in advance for any guidance.

hello , im a 0 in linux , i have orange 5 with mvme , i folowed how to for boot directly to mvme , the how to made me delete the spi flash. all was good, o5 boot on mvme succesfully but at each reboot , my hardware have new mac adress. any one can show me what to do step by step ? i used : Joshua-Riek/ubuntu-orange-pi5: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS for the Orange Pi5 ( desktop & serveur ) Armbian_23.02.2_Orangepi5_jammy_legacy_5.10.110.img.xz ubuntu serveur 23.04 ( 64 ) it's the same on all , boot one time i have mac adress , reboot = new mac adress i cant fix ip localy , so i think when i deleted spi flash , may be deleted config to get fixed mac adress ? any help / link ? , thank's

Good evening, I have got Orange pi 5 board. MAC address of this board network interface `end1` changes every time I reboot the system. I tried adding entry in /boot/armbianEnv.txt, I tried specifying hwaddress in /etc/network/interfaces. Neither of those two options worked.

On Armbian Orange Pi 5b webpage, one can download the latest image with kernel 6.7 Rrc1, not stable. Once the kernel (6.7) is stable, will there be a way to upgrade without reinstalling? Thanks.

My Orange Pi 5 appears to be completely dead. No lights turn on when the power is connected and the SD card is freshly imaged as well. This started happening when I connected a USB-C multi-port dongle with a connected PD power supply to it. Is it possible to revive this?

Hello folks, I happily run Armbian Jammy XFCE on my much beloved Meko box (with at least SOME hardware accel) and Bookworm on Orange Pi 5. Both run excellent, but Jammy/xfce is a bit more snappy. probably because of partly harware accell. On the Meko R3588 4Gb box I installed Docker, Portainer, MQTT server container, Home Assistant container. All is well. I operate my boxes via RealVNC, so that it also will work seemlessly when VPN is active. The containers are so extremely light that they hardly take a few percent CPU. Home Assistant container takes 0,5Gig or so, MQTT server takes 0.1Gig. My first encounter with docker is very positive! Next I will try to add open VPN and SABNZB containers if possible. So...these containers got me thinking...can we run QEMU on Armbian? Probably not, but I have to ask: would it be possible to: have QEMU working on RK3588 Armbian Run for example a windows VM in QEMU? Even if it would be slow? Just playing and experimenting...never used XFCE before, it grows on me, very snappy and no-nonsense...! And with dark themes these UI's look a lot cooler in the first place IMO. PS: I don't get that my plastic Meko box doesn't get hot, without ANY active cooling. I did a stresstest for 4 minutes, all 8 cores maxed, and sensor temps reach eventually over 80 degrees. Where does the heat go? The box never gets really hot and when the stresstest ends sensor temps go straight back to 60/50s almost instantly. I quite LIKE it's completely silent and without moving parts. It's got an EXCELLENT built-in wifi adapter too! So good that I don't even bother to plug the ethernet cable in, that says it all. Maybe I'll start loving my 8Gig Opi5 more when I get a passively cooled aluminium case for it. But currently it has moving parts and NO built-in wifi and an ugly transparent case 😉 Bas

Hi all, I am trying to recover after a failed NVMe install. I have a working install on an SDCard, but I think my board no longer boots to SDCard, since I flashed the bootloader via armbian-install. I am not sure if my NVMe install is good or not, and I can't currently reflash it. So I think my best bet is to wipe the SPI, which I hope means the board will go back to booting from SDCard. That's question 1 - is that actually a valid solution? If I wipe the SPI will I be able to again boot to SDCard? I am able to get the board into Maskrom mode, and I can see it using the Windows tool. However, I believe that I need a "loader image" that I "download" into the tool before I can wipe the bootloader. The Rock5 SPI wipe guide posted elsewhere in this forum refers to rk3588_spl_loader_v1.08.111.bin, which I don't have, and I'm not sure that's the right loader for the OPi5. That's question 2 - is there a loader for the OPi5 and/or can the Rock5 loader be used here? The OPi5 Manual is very sparse about Maskrom info, it says how to get into that mode, but only gives instructions for flashing the board to Android. The Android download is not working right now (Google Drive quota) so I am not able to get that package, in case it happens to have a suitable loader image. Thanks for any replies in advance.

I am currently facing a challenge with my Orange Pi 5 running Armbian 23.8.1 Jammy. I'm trying to get an exFAT formatted USB drive to work with this setup. I cannot mount an exFAT filesystem, despite having exfat-fuse and exfat-utils installed. The system fails to recognize the exFAT filesystem, displaying the message: "unknown filesystem type 'exfat'". I tried to install this module: https://github.com/arter97/exfat-linux. But I'm getting an error, that states that the driver already should be included on this version of the kernel: root@orangepi5:~/exfat-linux# make make -C /lib/modules/5.10.110-rockchip-rk3588/build M=/root/exfat-linux modules make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-5.10.110-rockchip-rk3588' CC [M] /root/exfat-linux/inode.o In file included from /root/exfat-linux/exfat_fs.h:14, from /root/exfat-linux/inode.c:16: /root/exfat-linux/compat.h:12:2: error: #error "This driver doesn't support v5.8+, " "please use the included driver from your kernel" 12 | #error "This driver doesn't support v5.8+, " \ | ^~~~~ /root/exfat-linux/inode.c: In function 'exfat_readpages': /root/exfat-linux/inode.c:367:16: error: implicit declaration of function 'mpage_readpages'; did you mean 'mpage_readpage'?

Hey folks, im trying to compile a realtime kernel for mt orange pi 5. I plan to use it for djing. A fully preemptive kernel delivers better performance for this, as less xruns appear. I am following the official dev instructions and am using the docker method, Compiling only the kernel, not the entire armbian OS. I copied a realtime patch (actually I tried several sub versions of 5.10) from the kernel.org realtime project site into the userpatches directory (I looked up the correct orange pi 5 subfolder name but forgot it rn) but compiling throws me some errors. Has anyone succeeded in creating a kernel like this for the orange pi 5 and/or could give me any advice for doing so? I actually dont care much about the kernel version, I just need it to be fully preemptive .. Help is much apprecieated! Kenny

I couldn't ping the pi anymore so i hook it up to HDMI. There i see the initramfs prompt What's up with that guys?? When i type df i only see /dev /run Broken m.2 sata?

Hello, Armbian community, I've been trying to build the Armbian kernel for my board "Orange Pi 5" with the rbd (RADOS Block Device) module enabled. I followed the standard build procedure using Armbian's build tools, and I explicitly enabled the rbd support during the menuconfig step. Despite doing this, after completing the build and installation processes, I'm unable to load the rbd module. When I attempt to load the module with modprobe rbd, I get the following error: modprobe: FATAL: Module rbd not found in directory /lib/modules/5.10.160-rk35xx Here are the steps I followed: 1. Cloned the Armbian Build Repository. 2. Started the kernel configuration using: ./compile.sh 1. In Menuconfig, I navigated to Device Drivers > Block devices and enabled Rados block device (RBD) support as a module. 2. Continued with the build process and installed the newly built kernel. 3. Booted the board and tried to load the module, which resulted in the error. Has anyone faced a similar issue or can you provide guidance on what I might be doing wrong or missing? Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated! I really appreciate any help you can provide.

*UPDATED - The issue is the powered USB3 hub which is actually NOT USB3 as advertised and is instead USB2. Sorry to have wasted your time* Hi, I have a 1TB SATA SSD in a USB3 enclosure (that supports UASP) connected to a USB3 powered hub, which in turn connects to the Top USB3 port of an Orange Pi 5 4GB. Armbian (Debian Bookworm) is installed and running from a 128GB NVME drive plugged into the M2 slot of the Orange Pi 5. If I do an "lsusb -t" I get the output shown below. The SSD is Bus 02, Port 3, Dev 5 and is using the uas driver but is showing USB2 speed of 480M rather than USB3 speed of 5000M. I have also tried plugging the powered USB3 hub with SATA SSD USB3 enclosure plugged into the USB C data port but I have the same limitation. I have plugged the SATA SSD USB3 enclosure into my intel file server running Debian Bookworm and it uses the uas driver at 5000M with no issues. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to disable the USB C port or dual hdmi display output for this to work? (I only use the HDMI port for video output) and have nothing connected to the USB C data port.
