Hello NickA, fire-hound from discord here ... You do a tremendous service for us all, keep it up buddy! I loaded your recent build from here: https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/releases and can confirm it works on my A7A.

The typical Armbian image has a module in the armbian-config and radxa's rsetup where one can set up the two leds conveiently to other than full on and heartbeat for the green and blue gpio leds respectively. I find it to be a nuisance to dig for that manually 2. The Ovralys module in armbian-config is returning an error - when entering DTO001 module (Device Tree Overlays) saying: Invalid overlay_prefix that might require deeper digging into the issue i guess? What works: Open Media Vault registers the NVME nicely as additional storage. I suspect booting off that NVME would work for an updated SPI bootloader i could test that if you want me to? If you need any other info or output I stand at Your disposal 😁

I'm trying to get a clock signal of 32768 from the GPIO1 D4 pin of the rk3328 CPU, but I haven't been able to. I've tried everything, from `overlay dts` to `armbian-add-overlay`, but I can't get any output. I can set the value to 1 or 0 using the `echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio60/value` command, but the system doesn't give a clock output. Please help. Thank you in advance.

I believe that the fact it is disabled is because they don't recommend powering the board through the OTG port as it can cause voltage drops when connecting devices as host.

I noticed that the Cubie a5e would reboot when anything that draws moderate power (>100mA) was connected to the USB3 port. Thought it was my power supply or USB cable, but after changing that out and doing some testing, I have determined that the reboot problem doesn't happen with the Radxa Bullseye image, only with the Armbian Trixie. I haven't had a chance to test older Armbian builds to see if it broke somewhere along the way, but that's what I'll do next.

The sysfs GPIO interface does not allow you to create clock outputs as-is. You'd do better seeing if that pin can be exposed through the sysfs PWM interface. I know the NanoPi M4V2's fan controller works this way (RK3399), and you can set the duty cycle. But you'd have to check if PWM is supported on that pin, and can be used in the way you're hoping. Failing that, it is possible to bit-bang the GPIO lines yourself if you're willing to write some C code. You can use Kernel Timers for fairly accurate timing, as long as you set High Scheduler Priority and Real Time Scheduler Class. Note that kernel timers only have a user specified resolution of 1ns, so you might not hit that frequency exactly.

Yesterday, I tried to use the digital IO in my opi zero3, with the Python GPIO package from https://opi-gpio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ by Richard Hull It depends on having sysfs files in /sys/class/gpio/ My original opi zero has these files and it works, but my opi zero3 doesn’t have these files I learned that /sys/class/gpio is created if the linux kernel is configured with a specific option ON, as suggested in the documentation: https://github.com/rm-hull/OPi.GPIO https://linux-sunxi.org/GPIO Also, a developer has made a change on the opi.GPIO project to support opi zero3 https://github.com/rm-hull/OPi.GPIO/issues/79 I will have time to try this tomorrow... but I want to ask: is anyone using GPIO in its most basic way? As reference: I saw this older thread about zero3's GPIO... https://forum.armbian.com/topic/31493-how-to-enable-i2c3-on-orange-pi-zero-3/ It is using leebobby's "armbian" image, with raspi-config, and wiringpi Using my original opi-zero, I never needed to use armbian-config to enable basic gpio and the python opi.gpio just worked as documented Note: the opi.gpio only claims to support basic gpio, not i2c. Update: these are interesting potential solutions and discussions (but they are all from before there was armbian for opiz3) https://www.reddit.com/r/OrangePI/comments/16vfa4g/orange_pi_zero_3_gpio_python_library/ https://github.com/eutim/OPI.GPIO https://www.reddit.com/r/OrangePI/comments/16ioyri/gpio_python_library_for_orange_pi_zero_3/ https://www.reddit.com/r/OrangePI/comments/18iveo3/how_to_control_gpio_pins_in_android_orange_pi/

http://blog.armbian.com/content/images/2026/02/githubhighlights-2-1.webpThis week in Armbian development saw significant advancements across kernel, firmware, and build targets. The release of 6.18.y kernel UEFI images marks a major update, alongside expanded desktop build options including Cinnamon and KDE Neon for UEFI systems. Notable board support enhancements include the addition of custom build targets for Amlogic TV Boxes, the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W as a virtual board, and improved support for Orange Pi 3 LTS and Odroid M2 devices. Automation improvements streamline inventory rebuilds and board data management, while new features such as Armbian board auto-detection and browser enablement for Riscv64 boards enhance usability. Several bug fixes and configuration updates address issues across Hyper-V images, kernel configs, and u-boot versions. The changelog also highlights upgrades to wireless firmware, dependency management, and support for BTRFS on NanoPi R3S-LTS, reflecting ongoing efforts to broaden compatibility and stability. 6.18.y kernel UEFI images are out. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#221abl: feat: add extraargs from armbianEnv for mkbootimg. by @CodeChenL in armbian/build#9341Add -hyperv suffix to REDI_VARIANT for Hyper-V images. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#216Add Cinnamon and KDE Neon desktop builds for UEFI. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#209Add cloud image extensions to UEFI minimal targets. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#211Add custom build targets for Amlogic TV Boxes. by @SteeManMI in armbian/armbian.github.io#224Add ENABLE_EXTENSIONS to UEFI desktop targets. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#210Add KDE Neon and RISC-V XFCE desktop targets. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#214Add Raspberry Pi Zero 2W board as virtual board. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#223Add remote execution method for inventory rebuild. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#222Add REMOVE_EXTENSIONS blacklist support to generate_targets.py. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#217ath12k: Upgrade to WLAN.HMT.1.1.c5-00302-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICON…. by @kasimling in armbian/firmware#118Automation: when board data changes on push, execute inventory rebuild at armbian.github.io. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#9354BPI-M4-Zero / KickPi K2B: Update u-boot to v2026.01, ATF to lts-v2.12.9 and fixup the KickPi K2B linux DTS. by @pyavitz in armbian/build#9340Enable Browsers on two Riscv64 boards. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#219Extension: Bump Nvidia propriatery driver. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#9338feat: add Armbian board auto-detection and toast notification system. by @SuperKali in armbian/imager#91feat: add Dependabot configuration for dependency management. by @SuperKali in armbian/imager#70File was removed while it remained in series control file. . by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#9339Fix errors in .editorconfig. by @iav in armbian/build#9363Fix file_extension extraction for Hyper-V cloud images. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#215Fix K3 issues - APT Caching, PB2, Missing KConfig. by @Grippy98 in armbian/build#9349KDE Neon: drop conflicting packages in order to assemble KDE desktop. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#9337kernel configs: disable unprivileged BPF. by @neheb in armbian/build#9082khadas-edge2: remove legacy uboot. by @efectn in armbian/build#9367Limit exposed.map to maximum 2 entries per board. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#220meson64: ressurect 6.12 as BRANCH=oldlts. by @rpardini in armbian/build#9350Odroid M2: Move main build target to CURRENT kernel branch. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#9357Odroid-M2: update uboot to v2025.10. by @mlegenovic in armbian/build#9359Orange Pi 3B: Update config. by @dust-7 in armbian/build#9370OrangePi 3 LTS: Add DTS and DEFCONFIG to u-boot v2026.01. by @pyavitz in armbian/build#9352OrangePi 3 LTS: Add ethernet support to u-boot defconfig. by @pyavitz in armbian/build#9365OrangePi 3 LTS: Fixup u-boot LED nodes. by @pyavitz in armbian/build#9358OrangePi 3 LTS: Update crust and u-boot defconfig. by @pyavitz in armbian/build#9372OrangePi 3 LTS: Use extlinux, remove aw859a-wifi.service, update current defconfig, etc.... by @pyavitz in armbian/build#9362Promoting Opi 3LTS and Odroid M2, demoting cubox-i and Jetson Nano. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#9353Radxa E52C: add mainline U-Boot support and kernel target configuration. by @okrc in armbian/build#9366radxa-e54c: board config: remove wayland-sessions-mask extension. by @schwar3kat in armbian/build#9351Refactor mesa-vpu extension: add architecture-specific browser selection. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#9347Remove Rockchip gpio patch, already applied upstream. by @tparys in armbian/build#9368Restore qemu performance fix for Ubuntu Noble. by @tparys in armbian/build#9371Restructured qcom/sm8550/ayn directory. by @Squishy123 in armbian/firmware#117Rock 5B Plus: Add GPIO names to edge dts. by @JohnTheCoolingFan in armbian/build#9348Support BTRFS on NanoPi R3S-LTS. by @clarkmcc in armbian/build#9343View the full article

@Brow Mosh AI is wrong. Mainline supports - Your PMIC - Your DRAM timing - Your HDMI (Patches have been around for years but not accepted in mainline yet. I included it in my builds.) - Your regulators Supported in mainline but might need some dts changes. - Your weird SD wiring - Your eMMC layout ( Could be a gpio# issue) If you are booting into the kernel then I believe your SD is somewhat working. Maybe you need few tweaks to your dts or your DRAM settings are off. A failing or cheap SD card could also be your issue. Kernel boots Reaches userspace Shows login banner Without a DTS I can’t help you much. Also, can you post some boot logs. FEL over USB is your last option. It is possible. But I don't think your AI model will help much. I noticed with some AI models they will encourage you to quit when they can't find the correct information. The owner of the AI model wants you to pay for their deep learning version.

Update on NanoPi M4v2 ... I pulled the most recent Armbian build, and manually ran the build for the M4v2, and it fails on kernel patch "general-gpio-driver-no-sleep". See pastebin at https://paste.armbian.com/puvorasuco for failed build. Checking upstream at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git, it looks like branch 6.18.y already has the subject patch, and was pushed today. Since both the rockchip and rockchip64 families use mainline kernel, I just submitted a PR that kills that patch for both. See https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/9368.

@Brow Mosh Have you tried extracting your arndroid dts to find the gpio settings for emmc? The only other thing I can suggest at this point is trying mainline U-Boot booted over USB (FEL). Booting mainline U-Boot via FEL completely bypasses SD.

http://blog.armbian.com/content/images/2026/02/githubhighlights-2.webpThis week’s Armbian development saw significant progress across multiple areas, including desktop environment enhancements, kernel updates, and expanded hardware support. Notable changes include the addition of GNOME desktop options, improvements to XFCE organization, and updates to U-Boot for several boards. The team introduced new board images and logos, refined Docker automation and documentation, and standardized numerous software modules for better maintainability. Kernel advancements featured bumps to 6.19-rc8, integration of ZFS v2.4.0, and targeted fixes for Rockchip and Odroid platforms.

Hi I've made a new kernel Auxiliary Display Driver for TM16XX and compatible LED controllers. This driver supports various LED controller chips, including TM16XX family, FD6XX family, PT6964, and HBS658. It provides support for both I2C and SPI interfaces. I wanted it to manage the hardware on the kernel space while having an easy sysfs user space interface. It also aims to reduce the code to maintain by relaying on existing kernel features instead of recoding them. Plus, you can switch to hardware i2c/spi (instead of software gpio) depending on the pins used. You can use "vfdconf-convert" to convert your existing vfd.conf to its device-tree version. Or you can use the already converted vfd.conf of https://github.com/arthur-liberman/vfd-configurations that are listed in the device table. You don't need to manually edit your device tree, the "make" command will apply the device tree source overlay to your dtb. It comes with a service written as a simple bash script. So it's easily customizable without having to write custom C code. Instructions and source code at https://github.com/jefflessard/tm16xx-display/ Could you please give it a try and report your feedback?

In the 3-cell GPIO format used by Allwinner (sunxi), the third cell (e.g., 0x12) is a bitmask that defines the electrical properties of the pin. To decode 0x12 (which is binary 0001 0010), you break it down into bits: 1. Bitmask Breakdown for 0x12 Bit 0 (0x01): Active Polarity. 0 = Active High. 1 = Active Low (Our bit 0 is 0, so this is Active High). Bit 1 (0x02): Open Drain / Open Source. 0 = Push-Pull. 1 = Single-ended/Open-Drain (Our bit 1 is 1, so this is Open-Drain). Bit 4 (0x10): Internal Pull-up. 0 = No pull-up. 1 = Pull-up Enabled (Our bit 4 is 1, so this is Pull-up Enabled). Summary of 0x12: This pin is configured as Active High, with an Open-Drain output and an internal Pull-up resistor enabled. 0x00: Reserved or additional configuration. In Allwinner-based systems (like the H6 or H616), this value is defined in the GPIO controller's device tree binding documentation within the Linux kernel source code. The structure is documented in the kernel under Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/allwinner,sun4i-a10-pinctrl.yaml

I think it depends on what you want. If you want to have some fun, then building this one is interesting actually, and there is more extensibility, and since radxa zero GPIO pin is compatible with Raspberry pi's, you can also get a DAC Mini Hat raspberry pi module, so there is more you can play or customize. But, if you just want to solve the problem and don't want to have these hassle, buying an existing product is a better option, so you have the warranty, customer support, and everything should work out of the box. I don't have Fosi Audio DS1 or Fiio Ka13, so every information I get is from the google search and cannot guarantee the correctness. From what I saw, Fiio Ka13 seems to be unable to work with PS5, and Fosi Audio DS1 can. This project only handles digital audio data, so I do not need to pay attention to the audio electronic properties when outputting (because that's the job of that USB speaker), and I do not know the sound quality of Fosi Audio DS1. One last word, if your original plan is to use this converter to connect to Hiby R3II, then to your headphone, that should work, but that is kind of redundant; there is more latency introduced, and the robustness could be wore because you have a longer output chain (from the engineering perspective). It would be easier to just get a high quality UAC 1.0 Amp.

Hello. BTT says what BTT Pi and CB1 is same, but realy not. Dunno why i brought what board. But now I owner of this "piece of ****" So. New board, clean install v25.11.2 for BigTreeTech CB1 running Armbian Linux 6.12.58-current-sunxi64 Packages: Debian stable (trixie) armbianEnv: overlays=gpu tft35_spi extraargs=fbcon=rotate:2 fbcon=rotate:2 for screen rotation, because armbian not from btt and didn`t have feature like param_tft35_spi_rotate Next, help me to determine how to enable UARTs and I2C From BIGTREETECH_Pi_V1.2.1 Hardware Pdf UART0: CPUX-UTX CPUX-RX UART2 (May work as i2c0; uart2-pi-pins; i2c0-pins ) Pi5 Pi6 UART3 (May work as i2c2; uart3-pi-pins; i2c2-pi-pins ) Pi9 Pi10 I2C (i2c4-ph-pins; spi1-pins): PH6 PH7 (must work, i`ll think i2c4-ph overlay present) All pins present in sun50i-h616-bigtreetech-cb1-sd, but didnt have overlays for it... I wish to stay uart0 for u-boot console first uart setup for klipper connections to mcu. any help? If I understand right PH6 is 7*32+6=230 gpioinfo output line 230: unnamed input consumer=kernel line 231: unnamed input consumer=kernel cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio gpiochip0: GPIOs 0-287, parent: platform/300b000.pinctrl, 300b000.pinctrl: gpio-71 ( |spi0 CS1 ) out hi ACTIVE LOW gpio-74 ( |i2c-gpio ) out hi gpio-75 ( |spi0 CS0 ) out hi ACTIVE LOW gpio-76 ( |i2c-gpio ) out hi gpio-77 ( |spi0 CS2 ) out lo gpio-78 ( |dc ) out hi gpio-166 ( |:wifi_power ) out hi gpio-207 ( |:wifi_wake ) out hi gpio-210 ( |reset ) out hi ACTIVE LOW gpio-229 ( |led-0 ) out lo ACTIVE LOW

In the meantime, I fixed internal audio for "edge" (was: missing headphone GPIO). And also investigated around the esos.elf RTOS firmware. There's a license for that, which I added to my tree. The license basically says: use but do not infect with GPL: https://gitee.com/spacemit-buildroot/buildroot-ext/blob/k1-bl-v2.2.y/board/spacemit/k1/target_overlay/lib/firmware/LICENSE.spacemit_esos.

I did establish a wifi connection and ssh sovol@IPaddress. Have the following: sovol@sovol:/$ ls -a -C . data lib opt run srv userdata .. dev lost+found packages sbin sys usr .resized etc media proc sdcard system var bin home mnt rockchip-test sha256sum.README tmp vendor boot info oem root sha256sum.txt udisk sovol@sovol:/$ uname -a Linux sovol 5.10.160 #54 SMP PREEMPT Mon Aug 5 22:22:56 CST 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux Could not cd to root/ and tried to su using mks, makerbase, sovol and 1234 as root passwds. Edit: I can run root commands with sudo The boot/ directory only contained grub/, no hidden files and no *dtb. Edit: Regained wifi after changing channel ?congestion. I looked at the FCCid site and the photos submitted to the FCC show a Realtek rtk8189FTV chip. It looks like the Fn-Link chip was substituted perhaps due to Mainland/Taiwan tensions. Not sure the FCC knows about the chip substitution or if new wifi test data was generated. The wifi on this board is crippling in many ways, Crowsnest cam access saves me many trips up/down the stairs to check for print failures. Still, it does not look like Sovol will be providing any more firmware updates. The two that are available can only be installed by a wifi connection using OTA (Over The Air). Paranoia is high for wireless connections that you know nothing about. I'm wondering about replacing the mainboard with the mks-skipr and adding a wifi module with mainstream kernel support. May be a better path to MainStream klipper and reliable mainstream wifi. Edit: Was able to scp/pull the following files: config-5.10 gpio.txt ip_address.txt rockchip_config. Building my own image still may be an option but will need to deal with the wifi driver, a python script for crowsnest camera and the LED light. Edit: Armbian-mkspi has patches for rtl8189fs. Image building is doable - not sure if wifi will be improved but Mainline Klipper, a more recent kernel, packages with updates can be had on stock boards.

@Робертс My screen is constantly white. Here's my wiring diagram. Display-Orangepi zero 3 VCC-5v GND-GND CS-PH9(spi1) RST-PC14 D/C-PC7 SDI-PH7(mosi) SCK-PH4 BL-3.3v SDO-PH8(miso) Also, there might be a typo. The specified dc-gpio in your dts is described as PHC7. I don't quite understand, is it PC7 or PH7?

The Evolution of SBCs: From Hobby Boards to Edge ComputingOver the past two decades, single-board computers (SBCs) have transformed from experimental maker tools into the backbone of modern embedded and edge systems. What started as a handful of affordable hobby boards has grown into a diverse ecosystem powering automation, AI, and connected infrastructure around the world. From Prototypes to PossibilityEarly SBCs were humble experiments — small circuit boards combining processor, memory, and I/O on one platform. For years they lived quietly inside industrial machines and educational kits. The real turning point came in the early 2010s with boards like the Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, and Cubieboard, which brought Linux to the maker community at a scale and price that anyone could access. These boards opened the floodgates for innovation. Suddenly, home labs, classrooms, and startups could prototype full Linux systems for the cost of a dinner. The appeal wasn’t just price — it was openness, GPIO access, and a thriving community that treated hardware as something to explore, not just consume. The Rise of a Global EcosystemAs demand grew, more vendors entered the field: Orange Pi, FriendlyElec, Radxa, and dozens of others expanded on the idea, each offering faster SoCs, more memory, and better I/O. Modern SBCs can now host NVMe storage, multiple displays, gigabit networking, and dedicated NPUs for AI workloads — features once reserved for full desktops or servers. They power digital signage, smart gateways, home servers, and even small AI clusters. Developers began caring not just about hardware specs, but also kernel stability, upstream drivers, and long-term support — exactly where Armbian excels. What’s NextLooking ahead, the direction is clear: AI acceleration everywhere – NPUs and neural engines are becoming standard on SBCs.Unified software stacks – Containers, orchestration tools, and reproducible builds are reaching the edge.Energy-aware computing – Solar and battery-powered deployments highlight the need for lean, resilient systems.Armbian’s role in this landscape is to provide the stable software foundation that ties it all together — open, optimized, and reliable across dozens of architectures. In SummarySBCs have grown up. They are no longer just learning tools or proof-of-concept boards — they are the quiet engines running modern infrastructure at the edge. Armbian sits at the heart of that transformation, helping these devices boot faster, run cleaner, and stay useful long after their first flash. The evolution of the SBC mirrors the story of open computing itself: innovation born from community effort, refined through shared knowledge, and extended by software that stays light enough to go anywhere.

Thank you Pearo, What does "S/N" mean? I just ended up using my orange pi zero 3 gpio without the additional DTS, which made connector numbering available in the gpioinfo command... There were comments that made it sound not really necessary, and it was more work than I wanted to take on. The solution for me was: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/33800-orange-pi-zero-3-gpio/#findComment-181191 This was 2 years ago, and I haven't even thought about it, all this time.
