I tried both the 6.8.10 and 6.1.43 releases from CI pipeline and none of these has the ap6275p wifi option in the armbian-config tool. There was a previous post that mentioned that the module got merged for the new kernels but is there an ETA to have this one in the CI releases? I'm curious to try vlc but haven't been able to install that one yet with the new releases.

Hello, I need your expert help to resolve an issue on my newly purchased orange pi 5b. I was able to install armbian xfce desktop os on emmc but am unable to correctly run a purchased csi mipi camera module (OV13850). Attached are some screen grabs, I do see rk3588-ov13850-c1 appear in overlays row of armbianEnv.txt upon toggling the selection in the armbian-config. Cheese application shows message "There was an error playing video from the webcam" upon opening the application (i also installed flatpak cheese as per some comment in a forum to test). I also tested connecting camera on rk3588-ov13850-c3 but face the same issue. Is there anything I am missing here? Appreciate your feedback, thank you.

Hi there Suddenly HDMI output stopped working on my orange Py 5. I've been using the board with an external monitor for a month but on the next boot HDMI connection disappeared. external display using type-c output works fine; I've already tried several HDMI cables and monitors - no results; no visual damages detected on the board; flashing image doesn't help; The system is Armbian 24.2.1 jammy OS with GNOME version 42.9. Any ideas what next steps should I do to find out whats happen?

Since the specific USB hardware support is now in place, I thought it would be good to discuss pitfalls and remedies for transitioning to a modern kernel. I have now tested the 6.8.5 based Armbian. None of the latest packages (.408 - .411) come up with HDMI output. You have to have a serial console connected, and then correct the problems. 1) This is what you are greeted with: [ 6.828040] panthor fb000000.gpu: [drm] *ERROR* Failed to load firmware image 'mali_csffw.bin' To fix this do apt install armbian-firmware-full and reboot 2) The 8821cu driver has performance problems. Also, the stupid "windows" adapter comes up as a CDROM, and has to be cycled by removing and inserting with its driver loaded, for the wifi to be recognized. These seem minor fixes, firmware repackaging etc... Hopefully we can document results from testing and workarounds in this thread. A big hurray, for Armbian bringing mainstream to OPI 5..... Gullik

Hello, sorry for my English. I have an Orange Pi 5 8gb and a 512gb nvme SSD. I would like to use it to install 2 operating systems (Android 12 + Batocera). This way, when starting the orange pi, it asks which operating system I want to start on. Is this possible?

hello, i was trying to set up a 2 pin fan on my orangepi 5b and i connected it to pin 25 and 26 (GND and PWM1). When i first started this task, the output from gpio readall would show me all 26 pins on the board. As i was digging through some forums to try and get the PWM pin to operate as on/off, i came across wiringOP and when i installed it, the output of `gpio readall` changed to only show 8pins. I am unsure of what went wrong and why it only shows 8 pins. I tried removing wiringOP and it still has not made a difference. Thanks

Hey everyone, I'm starting to lose my mind here. I've got an Orange Pi 5 which works great with a micro SD card. Now I got myself a nvme ssd and all I want to do is move my system from the sd card to the ssd. I've created an image of the sd card on my PC using "dd" and then wrote it on the ssd using dd again. It seemed to work fine, the only issue seems to be, that the UUID of the partitions on the ssd were the same as on the sd card, that's why I changed the UUID of the root partition on the ssd using "tune2fs -U random /dev/nvme0n1p2". I booted up the Pi with my sd card again and used armbian-config to flash mtdblock0 (bootloader install). After that I opened the armbianExt.txt on my nvme boot partition and changed the "rootdev=UUID=" to the UUID of my root partition on the nvme. I have also added "overlays=opi5-sata" in this file. But now if I shutdown the system, remove the sd card and try to boot it up with my ssd, it doesn't really work. Nothing seems to happen. If I insert the micro sd, it will boot up again, but "lsblk -f" tells me: NAME FSTYPE FSVER LABEL UUID FSAVAIL FSUSE% MOUNTPOINTS loop0 squashfs 4.0 0 100% /snap/certbot/3641 loop1 squashfs 4.0 0 100% /snap/core/16578 loop2 squashfs 4.0 0 100% /snap/certbot/3698 loop3 squashfs 4.0 0 100% /snap/core/16931 loop4 squashfs 4.0 0 100% /snap/core20/2186 loop5 squashfs 4.0 0 100% /snap/core20/2267 loop6 squashfs 4.0 0 100% /snap/hello-world/29 mtdblock0 mmcblk1 ├─mmcblk1p1 vfat FAT16 armbi_boot F086-14E9 └─mmcblk1p2 ext4 1.0 armbi_root 384d3db4-7e83-40fe-933e-22e63200cb80 12.4G 55% /var/log.hdd / zram0 [SWAP] zram1 35.6M 16% /var/log nvme0n1 ├─nvme0n1p1 vfat FAT16 armbi_boot F086-14E9 153M 40% /boot └─nvme0n1p2 ext4 1.0 65f3148f-b661-42fa-8244-b1d2a0fde9d9 So it seems to be using the boot partition of my ssd (/dev/nvme0n1p1) right? But the root partition is still used from the sd card? Oddly enough I can even mount the root partition of my nvme perfectly fine, the folders and files are all there. But it won't be using it on boot as my root partition. And I still have to use my micro sd card to start the system. Can anyone help me out here? How can I tell the system to use the root partition on the ssd? Any help is appreciated! best regards Markus

Hello, I am planning to create a Kubernetes cluster from 5 Raspberry PI and one of the alternatives mentioned in tags, 9 hosts in total. I want to mount and customize the installation images with ssh keys, static IP address, etc, and to skip the initial script offered at login by the CLI images. Can you point me to the right piece of documentation? Thank you, Stefanita Vilcu

Hey all, New to Armbian, installed to an Orange Pi 5. Installed XRDP - works fine in root (desktop shows) but if I try to do it as a user I just get a black screen with cursor. From searching I can see posts about already being logged in as a user already, and therefore black for privacy but I've not logged in as the user prior? Cant find anything really conclusive explaining how to resolve this Also even in root if I get logged out of desktop (RDP session still active, i.e. desktop lock screen) my root password doesn't work. Password is clearly not wrong

In March 2023 I bought an OPI5 and immediately went for armbian, but I had problems and reported it in the link in this POST. in 2024: I bought the SD cards and other power supply directly from the manufacturers to see if the OPI5 works. I downloaded and burned the latest stable version of Bookworm and the results were the same, errors and everything froze. Before throwing OPI5 in the trash, I downloaded "nightly builds (unstable)" and installed it on an nvme and... it works without problems, I've had no problems for 13 days. In conclusion, the SD card reader is damaged and I can only use the NVME. HELP: I ask you for help with the command (./compile BOARD....) to create a stable version. Thank you very much to all.

Are there any plans to make a version with the new Rockchip 6.1 kernel available for Orange Pi 5/5+? Joshua Riek seems to have had some success, he even got the Panfork drivers running. I run a headless server though so even without graphics it would be interesting but I use Debian.

Since I am interested in the connection ability, I figured the info we gather should go into ONE thread. I have tried to build new kernels, but can only see USB controllers and devices two ports. I have seen a lot of work by Sebasitian Reichel @ Collabora, and his patches, but these do not seem to have the desired result on my test board. Orange PI 5. There seems to be an issue with the port mux, FUSB302, that either connects the last USB to the "vertical" port or to the "USB C" connector. I will comment my findings and attempts to correct this in this thread, and think we could find out where we are if you add your findings, successes and failures, rather than cluttering everywhere Regards, Gullik

Been trying to play 4k youtube videos with VLC and I haven't had any luck with vp09 and mp4 files. Is VP9 supported with 24.2.1 + kernel 5.10.160? I have no issues with hardware decoding of mp4/h264 in vlc but is vp9 hardware decoding possible? Browser seems to play youtube in 4k but not sure which codec it is using

I haven't tried Jammy with 6.1.43 but the kernel doesn't say rc anymore so curious of the status. How does this build compare in terms of feature and performance with 5.10? Is all the video decoding supported? The RK3588 Kernel support page says that hdmi audio is not supported - is that really the case? Is gnome/wayland supported? I see that only KDE is listed there.

Hello, I have roughly 30 Orange Pi 5 here in the office setting up for deploying in the field. NVMe boot is working great after using 'nand-sata-install' to flash the MTD. But sometimes (rarely, but happens), when issuing a reboot of Armbian, after full kernel shutdown, the player does not boot back up. Power light is on, no activity blinking LED. Network link and activity blinking. Just won't boot. Requires physically disconnecting power for a few seconds then re-plug to get to boot. I have watchdog set in Armbian and tested that works. So this seems to be before Linux kernel has taken control. Is there any way to enable any logging or debug mode on the bootloader to try to get some logs or anything to help see what's happening? Thanks.

hi, I am a newbie using the orange pi 5 board, or any kind like this. I have a boost-up issue, I connect to the power supply and only red light is on (on the board) but when connect the display by HDMI-HDMI or HDMI-typeC, nothing I can see. I am not sure my new board is functioning or not, the problem is, the requirement says this needs 5V4A, but for some reason, my new power supply shipping will come later, so I use 5V2A for test currently, and I am not sure 2A will be able to boost up the board, or at least I can see the startup screen. I will get my 5V4A power next week, but the reason why I want to try with 2A now is because I want to know if my board is functioning or not, otherwise, I need to return to the retail store and replace a new one. so can anyone tell if 5V2A can boost the board, or if my board is just not functioning? any other way to work around, maybe, can I connect this with an iPad power adapter? the iPad adaper spec says it outputs 5V3A or 9V2.22A, isn't it about the PD standard? And I did read the orange pi 5 user manual, and it say that the board has no PD support, so can I still use the iPad adaptor to power it, or it will damage the board? Thank for help when you answer it.

Hello friends: I have opi5 with the spi removed, which spiloader do I use to boot from the sd card? Thank you so much

Hello I have installed Armbian 24.2.3 Bookworm with Linux 5.10.160-legacy-rk35xx on Orange Pi 5 plus with 32 Gb ram and mounted a heatsink with a fan on the CPU (this model: http://www.orangepi.org/html/hardWare/computerAndMicrocontrollers/details/Cooling-Fan.html) I need help configuring the fan to turn on when the CPU temperature reaches 60°C and turn off when it reaches 50°C. Can you provide instructions on how to do this? Thanks for help or support

My current TV doesn't have CEC but I'm planning to replace it with something that has CEC support and would really like to automate the on/off thing... Is cec-utils supported or is there an alternate kernel API?

Hi friends... I understand that you have to be careful with the power supply and SD cards. For the above, I bought 2 power supplies (original) and several SD cards from different suppliers. After several attempts I can't get it to start from the sdcard (it only starts from the nvme). I burned the images on Linux (wipefs + dd + gparted) and Windows (SD Memory Card Formatter + balenaEtcher). Also, I used RKDevTool to burn the images to the sd card and nothing (evidently I deleted the spi content). --- begin part of the log --- U-Boot SPL board init U-Boot SPL 2017.09-gc060f28d70-220414 #zyf (Apr 18 2022 - 18:13:34) Failed to set cpub01 Failed to set cpub23 Trying to boot from MMC2 MMC: no card present mmc_init: -123, time 0 spl: mmc init failed witoot from MMC1 Card did not respond to voltage select! mmc_init: -95, time 13 spl: mmc init failed with error: -95 Trying to boot from MTD2 GUID Partition Table Header signature is wrong: 0xX != 0xX part_get_info_efi: *** ERROR: Invalid GPT *** --- end part of the log --- (I attach complete file) If anyone can help me.

Hello, i'm using Armbian 23.11 Jammy-amazingfated Gnome. Kernel 5.10 If to seek a couple of times in h264 1080p BD remux'es it will cause system restart. Any video players are affected. Tried mpv, vlc, kodi and others. Problem affect just h264 1080p remuxes, that typically are 30..40 Gb, smaller h264 or even larger h265 files seem to work fine. I tried fresh install of armbian, where no rkmpp is installed, then h264 files plays/seeks fine, in software mode of course. Once I did sudo update/upgrade, that also installs rkmpp and other rockchip stuff, then videos start to play with rkmpp and problem is back. I've tried disabling hw decoding as workaround , weird, but it seems it's not possible to do in any player. In mpv : hwdec=no , or pressing ctrl+h has no affect, can't get rid of rkmpp decoder. Ive tried all possible commands related to this, from official mpv documentation, but nothing helps to disable rkmpp . This is probably another issue. Disabling buggy h264_rkmpp_decoder could be good workaround, as cpu is easily capable do play 1080p in sw, but can't find a way to do this, no matter i try, pls help. Especially looking for solution for mpv

Hello I'm running the NAS on Orange PI 5. I've run Armbian with EDK2 from https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/5900. The system starts from SSD disk connected via PCIE card with 4 SATA ports. I wanted to run simple fan control via GPIO, but setting the value 1 or 0 on GPIO has no effect and the multimeter connected to GPIO always shows 2.85V. How I did it. I installed wiringOP as the manual says. I selected GPIO 0 and entered the commands gpio mode 0 out gpio write 0 0 I connected a multimeter to GPIO 0 but it always shows 2.85V when I did gpio write 0 1 the multimeter also shows 2.85V gpio readall shows 1 in column V when "gpio write 0 1" command is shows 0 in column V when "gpio write 0 0" command is Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?

I'm trying to update python on my armbian bookworm to 3.12 but I cannot find any packages for bookworm. I regret not going with the ubuntu one now 😕 because that one has the deadsnake packages. Any known alternatives? (beside compiling your own packages)

I got an issue from a user on a bash script I am sharing on github. The script is to make shrunk img backups on a running system on a lot of different sbc:s. After some testing on the users side (I did not have access to hardware to test) it turned out the script fails because of the partition table, it is GPT while in the past they have always been MBR (msdos). I downloaded the latest opi5 gnome desktop image and looped it and parted shows it is in GPT. We figured out a way to solve it but my question is: is this because rpi5 uses gpt partition table (I do not own a rpi5 either)? Will this be the future of most armbian builds? On a side note, `armbian-resize-filesystem.service` still works to autoexpand after I restore a backed up img, so thank you for providing this. ❤️
