Thank you! I ended up getting this working. For one, an update and reboot did get me the 6.18.10 kernel. Then, in the installation scripts for drivers, I just had to specify the package name for the headers explicitly, e.g. replacing: apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) -y with apt-get install linux-headers-current-bcm2711 -y

I just checked at my ROCK5B running Armbian userspace: # sudo apt update # sudo apt list -a linux-headers-*current-bcm2711 linux-headers-current-bcm2711/trixie 26.2.1 arm64 linux-headers-current-bcm2711/trixie 25.11.2 arm64 linux-headers-current-bcm2711/trixie 25.8.2 arm64 linux-headers-current-bcm2711/trixie 25.8.1 arm64 linux-headers-current-bcm2711/trixie 25.5.1 arm64 linux-headers-current-bcm2711/trixie 25.2.3 arm64 linux-headers-current-bcm2711/trixie 25.2.2 arm64 linux-headers-current-bcm2711/trixie 24.11.1 arm64 linux-headers-current-bcm2711/trixie 24.8.2 arm64 linux-headers-current-bcm2711/trixie 24.5.1 arm64 linux-headers-current-bcm2711/trixie 24.2.1 arm64 So you can install them with: # sudo apt install linux-headers-*current-bcm2711 You will get the latest if you do not select explicit version 6.18.9, I got 6.18.10 as that seems to be the latest now. Armbian also has edge and legacy, but for normal release all 64-bit Raspberry Pis is named 'current-bcm2711', which should be the equivalent of 'rpi-v8', which is the normal 4k pages downstream kernel in Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit. It might be you originally had the dedicated rpi5b installation, so you simply had not gotten the headers maybe. Armbian has no 16k pages kernel, if you want that, you need to build yourself, but note that this comes with quite some of issues, many people are not aware and cannot fix issues due to that. See 2+ years of trouble w.r.t. that on RPL forums. I do not use Ubuntu based Armbian, but Debian based, but should not matter for that kernel packages as those are Armbian on top of either distro.

Hello! I have a follow-up question about installing Armbian on a Raspberry Pi 5, and hopefully this is a good place for it. Perhaps this belongs here instead: I just installed the Armbian/Gnome version for Raspberry Pi "4b", as mentioned above, for my Raspberry Pi 5. The OS booted fine and is running. However, I'm trying to install some additional software (specifically this: https://github.com/sunfounder/pipower5/tree/main) and I'm getting errors related to installing the right version of `linux-headers`, the output of `uname`, and possibly the `bcm2711` vs. `bcm2712` CPU. The original error was: ``` Error: E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-6.18.9-current-bcm2711 E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-headers-6.18.9-current-bcm2711' E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-6.18.9-current-bcm2711' ``` When I searched for the available packages, I found the following "closest" options: ``` linux-headers-current-bcm2711/noble 26.2.1 arm64 [upgradable from: 26.2.1] Armbian Linux current headers 6.18.10-current-bcm2711 linux-headers-current-bcm2712/noble 24.11.1 arm64 Armbian Linux current headers 6.6.63-current-bcm2712 ``` At this point, I realized that the installation scripts were pulling the kernel version from the output of `uname`: ``` denbro@rpi5b:~$ uname -r 6.18.9-current-bcm2711 denbro@rpi5b:~$ uname -a Linux rpi5b 6.18.9-current-bcm2711 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Feb 9 10:54:02 UTC 2026 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux ``` My two main questions are: 1. Why is the proper linux header not available? My understanding is that, in principle, `linux-headers-$(uname -r)` should always be available. 2. Should I be concerned that my linux kernel thinks it is using the bcm2711 CPU? That's the Pi 4 CPU, but my raspberry pi 5 has a bcm2712. Should I install the version of armbian for the Pi 500? Two additional notes - 1. The Sunfounder software I mentioned above installed without issue on the same device running Raspberry Pi OS Trixie. 2. I originally tried to flash an SD card with Armbian using Raspberry Pi Imager, and it wouldn't boot; the device turned on, and printed a bunch of startup output, and then shut off. After confirming that the SD card worked, I switched to using Armbian Imager to flash the SD card and that led to my current state. ``` denbro@rpi5b:~$ neofetch ##### denbro@rpi5b ####### ------------ ##O#O## OS: Armbian 26.2.1 noble aarch64 ####### Host: Raspberry Pi 5 Model B Rev 1.1 ########### Kernel: 6.18.9-current-bcm2711 ############# Uptime: 1 hour, 25 mins ############### Packages: 1200 (dpkg) ################ Shell: bash 5.2.21 ################# Resolution: 1280x800 ##################### Terminal: /dev/pts/1 ##################### CPU: (4) @ 2.400GHz ################# Memory: 691MiB / 3983MiB ``` Let me know if there's any other information I can provide, and thanks in advance for any guidance!

I just installed Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.732_Rockpi-4bplus_trixie_current_6.18.22_minimal on a Rockpi-4bplus. How do I install the correct Linux headers? The standard apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) method doesn't work for armbian. OK, there's a corresponding option in armbian-config, and it seems to run successfully, but for some reason, I only see linux-headers-6.12.74+deb13+1-arm64 and linux-headers-6.12.74+deb13+1-common in /usr/src.

Hi there. I just got my hands on a brand new 5T with 24GB of RAM and installed Armbian 26.04 minimal on it (on an SD card - no eMMC on this board). I immediately put it to use running CI jobs, however started seeing segfaults and things almost straight away. Current power source is the Radxa 60W power supply. Currently passively cooled (with the Radxa heat sink). Hasn't gone over 70º in the last 24 hours, even when maxxed out compiling rust packages.

Version `25.8.2` of kernel, dtb and/or header package on Armbian Ubuntu Noble break `zfs-dkms` (I'm pretty sure kernel module `zfs` was not built with success) I had to run: ```sh sudo apt install linux-image-current-meson64=25.8.1 linux-headers-current-meson64=25.8.1 linux-dtb-current-meson64=25.8.1 && sudo dpkg-reconfigure zfs-dkms ``` I couldn't look in to the problem, because I was busy doing something else when I was just upgrading every package on the system. I had to prioritize quickly fixing it before another user arrives so I just reverted the suspicious packages (the three I mentioned in the title) I can't look into the problem now either because the computer is not being used by me alone..

Hello, I have installed the minimal Trixie based image for Orange Pi5 (the image named Armbian_26.2.1_Orangepi5_trixie_current_6.18.8_minimal) and then attempted to build an out-of-tree kernel module. Having installed dkms and build-essentials, plus the kernel headers through armbian-config, I found the headers package hasn't been fully set-up, the build symlink in /lib/modules/<KVER> is missing and dkms complains that the kernel headers for the kernel are not installed. The kernel headers are installed though, but it looks like they're from a previous release (25.11.2 instead of 26.2.1). # dpkg -l | grep rockchip ii linux-dtb-current-rockchip64 26.2.1 arm64 Armbian Linux current DTBs in /boot/dtb-6.18.8-current-rockchip64 ii linux-headers-current-rockchip64 25.11.2 arm64 Armbian Linux current headers 6.12.58-current-rockchip64 ii linux-image-current-rockchip64 26.2.1 arm64 Armbian Linux current kernel image 6.18.8-current-rockchip64 It the headers package still pending packaging ? Shouldn't armbian-config provide an error in this case and not install the old kernel headers ? EDIT: armbianmonitor ouput - https://paste.armbian.com/oliyalebeq

Community images are tied to daily beta repo where it should always be a match kernel - headers. Just make sure you have a clean updated system then proceeding to header installation via armbian-config. And only if this doesn't work, report so we can look into.

## Description After a fresh installation of Armbian for Rockchip64 (Rock 3A), the system ships with `linux-image-current-rockchip64` version **26.2.1** (kernel 6.18.8), but the corresponding `linux-headers-current-rockchip64` package for version 26.2.1 is **not available** in the public APT repositories. This prevents installation of kernel headers required for DKMS modules, out-of-tree drivers, or any kernel module compilation. ## Steps to Reproduce 1. Flash the latest Armbian image for `rock-3a` (branch: `current`) from the official download page. 2. Boot the device and connect to the network. 3. Run `apt update` with any standard mirror (e.g., `mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn`, `mirror.yandex.ru`). 4. Check installed kernel version: ```bash uname -r # Output: 6.18.8-current-rockchip64 ``` 5. Check available headers: ```bash apt policy linux-headers-current-rockchip64 ``` ## Actual Behavior - Installed image packages: ``` linux-image-current-rockchip64 26.2.1 [installed,local] linux-dtb-current-rockchip64 26.2.1 [installed,local] armbian-bsp-cli-rock-3a-current 26.2.1 [installed] ``` - `apt policy` output for headers: ``` linux-headers-current-rockchip64: Installed: (none) Candidate: 25.11.2 Version table: 25.11.2 500 500 http://<mirror>/armbian noble/main arm64 Packages ... (no 26.2.1 available) ``` ## Expected Behavior - The `linux-headers-current-rockchip64` package version **26.2.1** should be available in the `current` branch repository, matching the kernel shipped in the image. - Alternatively, the image should ship with packages that are already published and synchronized in the public repository. ## Impact - Users cannot install DKMS modules (ZFS, VirtualBox, WiFi drivers, etc.). - Development workflows requiring kernel headers are blocked. - Confusion for users performing a "clean install" who expect a consistent system. ## System Information - **Board:** Radxa Rock 3A - **Armbian version:** 26.2.1 (from image filename/release) - **Kernel:** 6.18.8-current-rockchip64 - **APT branch:** `current` - **Distribution:** Ubuntu Noble (24.04) - **Mirrors tested:** - `http://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/armbian` - `http://mirror.yandex.ru/mirrors/armbian/apt` - `http://apt.armbian.com` (redirector) ## Possible Causes (hypothesis) 1. **Publishing race condition:** The image was built after `linux-image-26.2.1` was compiled but before `linux-headers-26.2.1` was published to the public repository. 2. **Branch mislabeling:** Version 26.2.1 may have been moved to `edge` after the image was built, but the image metadata was not updated. 3. **Mirror sync delay:** The master repository has the package, but mirrors have not yet synchronized (though multiple mirrors were tested over several days).

So I'm fairly new to Armbian (although I have already managed to successfully create a custom build with most of what I need). Sadly, I've very much hit a blocker. I really need to use linux-tools/perf on an RK3588 board with a vendor kernel (I'm using the Mali OpenCL, and the ARM packages are mostly locked) and I need to do some performance tuning. I cannot figure out how to get these tools deployed. 1. There are no linux-tools packages build -- which is fair enough, I'm probably in a minority. Some parts of the tools directories are culled during a cleaning process for the headers, I can see that 2. I am happy to copy over the kernel source and build on the device, but this is a patched vendor kernel. Can I just rsync across `cache/sources/linux-kernel-worktree`? Is that the patched kernel source tree? 3. There are some old allusions in the forums to using armbian-config to get sources -- I'm guessing that's long deprecated 4. Would it be appropriate at some point to create a .deb for the actual kernel sources, just in case -- or even, ideally, the linux-tools packages themselves? I am very happy to invest effort into helping make this happen, but I am starting from cold into this fairly complex build infrastructure, so any help or pointers I'd be extremely grateful.

Okay so then we have some issues here This is clearly wrong since these packages come from upstream Debian and cannot/will not work with Armbian kernels. This shall be reported here: https://github.com/armbian/configng/ Then you were lucky some working headers were present https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ Or in very short: git clone the repo ./compile.sh BOARD=rockpi-4bplus BRANCH=current kernel Check output/debs for your packages Install via dpkg -i on the target board

Thanks, @Werner! I believe I can do it once I find clear instructions. There's still a lot I don't understand—where all needed things are. I'd appreciate it if you could just provide a link that could point me in the right direction. Meanwhile, yesterday I somehow managed to install the headers using apt-get install linux-headers-current-rockchip64 . At least, for now, this allowed me to build the packages that needed the headers. It seems like this might be a bit of a dirty trick (no?). So, I'd still like to do it right.

We don't ship headers for each and every trunk image. Way too much data. Simplest solution is to use the framework to create a complete set of kernel deb packages. Those will include matching headers.

To fix that error I removed `/lib/firmware/qcom/sm8550/ayn/odin2mini` and other 2 symlinks. run `ls -la /lib/firmware/qcom/sm8550/ayn/` to show them. I ran the script and did a reboot. Now I'm in the uboot command line and I see this error: ``` no nvme partition table available [ 10.473] Couldn't find partition nvme 0:1 [ 10.477] Couldn't find partition nvme 0:1 [ 10.481] Couldn't find partition nvme 0:1 [ 10.485] Couldn't find partition nvme 0:1 [ 10.489] Couldn't find partition nvme 0:1 ``` I only have sd card plugged in.

Hey, After around 3h of gemini-vibe-coding, a completely noob like me was able to compile this sv6256p for the 6.18 kernel! I just download the last trunk community image release (Armbian 26.2.0-trunk.732 trixie) for the rk322x-box for my Frankeinstein mxq box that has the rk3228a cpu (armv7l instead arm64). Before starting compilation, I have apt updated/upgraded my installation to Armbian 26.2.0-trunk.778 trixie. I've got ~35mbps download connected to a 5GHz Network, but to be fair, the router was a bit far away from the device... (#update: 45mbps/4.5mbps down/up with device closer to the router) root@rk322x-box:~# uname -a Linux rk322x-box 6.18.23-current-rockchip #3 SMP Sat Apr 18 08:45:02 UTC 2026 armv7l GNU/Linux root@rk322x-box:~# lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.

And here is the explanation for each patch, according to Gemini: Anyway, in the next post I will upload the compiled/generated ssv6x5x.ko, ssv6x5x-wifi.cfg and ssv6x5x-sw.bin files, only for the 6.18.23-current-rockchip kernel and the rk3228a. It might work for other armv7l CPUs using the trunk rk-322x box images, but it certainly not work for any other kernel.

This week in Armbian development saw significant progress across board support, desktop environments, and infrastructure. Notably, NanoPC T6 LTS Plus was added as a reusable board, and support for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS ("Resolute") expanded to desktop package coverage and testing. Multiple improvements targeted desktop environments, including package updates, installation fixes, and branding enhancements for browsers. Kernel and bootloader updates were implemented for various boards, with mainline kernel bumped to 7.0 stable and u-boot upgrades for Rockchip devices. Infrastructure enhancements included new CI workflows, multi-arch unit tests, and migration to a REST API. Several bug fixes, optimizations, and cosmetic cleanups rounded out the release, ensuring greater stability and usability for Armbian users.

On the 25.11.1 Noble release, using the 6.12 kernel, there is no package to install the linux-headers for installed kernel. Is there some place to get them so that it is possible to install a kernel module for the provided ubuntu-rockchip kernel?

Hi I installed Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.151_Odroidhc4_trixie_current_6.18.2_minimal.img Trying to build zfs-dkms I discovered that I was missing the linux-headers for this kernel version and there is no package containing it. At least apt-cache didn't find anything. Any idea where to find it? Thanks, Chris

Hello Armbian-Community! TL;DR I've successfully enabled the Rockchip RK3568 NPU (0.8 TOPS INT8) on the ODROID-M1 with 8GB RAM running Armbian 6.18.9-current-rockchip64. The only thing needed to make this work for everyone is a 1-line kernel patch in Armbian build that I've already submitted: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/9403 Once this patch is merged into Armbian, the DKMS modules will work out-of-the-box on all RK3568 boards. The Problem 1. Hardkernel and Rockchip provide NPU patches for quite old kernel versions: rockchip <= 6.6 hardkernel <= 5.10 2. IOMMU page table allocation bug — On systems with >4GB RAM, the kernel's IOMMU allocates page tables above 4GB, but the NPU can only access the first 4GB of physical memory, causing DMA mapping failures and inference timeouts The Solution 1. Kernel Patch (1 line!) - .gfp_flags = 0, + .gfp_flags = GFP_DMA32, This forces IOMMU page tables to be allocated below 4GB, fixing NPU operation on 8GB boards. 2. DKMS Driver Package I've created a complete DKMS package that: - Includes DT overlays for NPU, IOMMU, power-domain, and clock configuration - Supports dynamic frequency scaling (100 MHz - 1000 MHz) - Provides `/dev/dri/renderD129` (DRM/GEM interface) for RKNN Runtime - Would compile against Armbian's stock kernel headers with the above patch merged The Questions 1. What would be the best way to provide those modules for installation in the armbian system? 2. Has someone a 4 GB version of the M1 and could test the modules?

Hi all, I have an RK3318 TV box (A95X R2_V20). The front panel controller is TM1628. I’m running Armbian 23.11.1 with kernel 6.19.0‑edge‑rockchip64. Problem: tm16xx is not enabled in this kernel (CONFIG_TM16XX_* not set), and there is no rk3318x-config in this image. I tried to locate tm16xx sources in current Armbian kernel trees and mainline, but the driver is missing, so I can’t build it from the local headers. I have active Docker projects (avito-bot) on this box and don’t want to reinstall the system, and previous two reinstalls ended with apt issues, so I’d prefer to avoid a fresh image. Question: Is there a known external tm16xx driver repo (or patch) that can be built as an out‑of‑tree module for RK3318? If yes, could you point me to the source and any required device‑tree overlay/pin mapping for TM1628? I already posted board photos and dtb above (my post is still unanswered), so please refer to that if needed. Thanks!

HC4 kernel and headers version dont match. Does not install ZFS.

The same issue has occurred again. I had to take this measure again today to fix the zfs module. I had to revert the kernel, headers and dtb back to 25.11.2 from 26.2.1 of linux(meson64:arm64)

Download the RV2 image. It's basically the same plus DKMS (including headers) for building the bcmdhd wifi driver. You need to change the "fdt" line in /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf for rv2->r2s (DTB file is there), e.g before uploading with mount -o offset=$(( 512 * 8192 )) Armbian-....img /mnt/
