Hello, i have a question about how to configure a 7' touchscreen, in my case i bought this: https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005004163930837.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.50.57c1194d914MA4&gatewayAdapt=glo2esp but the the problem is when i connect to my Orange Pi 5, on my laptop the screen works very well but in orange pi 5 with Armbian Jammy 23.5.5 Cinamon and it doesn't recognize it. Is there a solution on how to connect it?

Hi. By updating the system today caused the hardware acceleration to fail. Start-Date: 2023-08-04 12:26:33 Commandline: apt upgrade Upgrade: armbian-jammy-desktop-gnome:arm64 (23.02.2, 23.08.0-trunk--1-Vf900-B4c8e), system-monitoring-center:arm64 (1.43.9, 1.43.10), ufw:arm64 (0.36.1-4build1, 0.36.1-4ubuntu0.1), libmutter-10-0:arm64 (42.9-0ubuntu1, 42.9-0ubuntu4), libpoppler-cpp0v5:arm64 (22.02.0-2ubuntu0.1, 22.02.0-2ubuntu0.2), mutter-common:arm64 (42.9-0ubuntu1, 42.9-0ubuntu4), poppler-utils:arm64 (22.02.0-2ubuntu0.1, 22.02.0-2ubuntu0.2), libpoppler-glib8:arm64 (22.02.0-2ubuntu0.1, 22.02.0-2ubuntu0.2), gir1.2-mutter-10:arm64 (42.9-0ubuntu1, 42.9-0ubuntu4), libpoppler118:arm64 (22.02.0-2ubuntu0.1, 22.02.0-2ubuntu0.2) End-Date: 2023-08-04 12:26:38 All the best!

Hello all, Is there any chance to run mainline kernel? Support for rk3588 seems to be starting with 6.2 and 6.3 (mainline has dts for rock 5b).

Guys, i'm new. I enabled the sata module in armbian-config then i did sudo dd bs=1M if=/path/your/armbian.img of=/dev/sda status=progress && sudo sync overlays=opi5-sata is in mnt/boot/armbianEnv.txt Without the sd, the orangepi boots in initramfs. I've added a screenshot with the shell output on hdmi. I can boot from SD but that's not what i need. Any thoughts whats going on?

I solved this for myself and created an account so I could post it here. I saw a few posts going back years which said either this can't be done on an Orange Pi 5 or they had no replies. The problem: I wanted to boot my system from the EMMC but leave my large capacity SD card plugged in for extra storage. The script in armbian-config worked as expected. However, leaving the SD card inserted caused the board to continue to boot from it. Wiping the SD prevented the board from booting at all. I could eject the SD card, boot from the EMMC and then re-insert the SD card to use it as storage, but that's annoying. The solution: I noticed that the script in armbian-config left the boot partition on the SD card intact but removed the contents. I used the following command to clone the updated EMMC boot partition back to the old boot partition on the SD card- sudo cat /dev/mmcblk0p1 > /dev/mmcblk1p1 I then wiped the old root partition on the SD card like so- sudo mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/mmcblk1p2 sudo btrfs filesystem label /dev/mmcblk1p2 SDcard I rebooted and it worked! I'll add /dev/mmcblk1p2 to fstab so it mounts at boot like a fixed drive. And I suppose future kernel updates will need to get pushed back to the SD card the same way (similar to updating your bootloader on a x86_64 system after a kernel upgrade). Hopefully I remember this when the board won't boot after the next kernel update. Slackware warns me to update my bootloader when slackpkg updates the kernel, but I know Ubuntu won't. :-)

I searched & tried all materials I can find, trying to set up FFmpeg to work with hardware acceleration on Orange Pi 5. But it did NOT work. Anyone else succeeds in using GPU hardware acceleration to encode/transcode video on Orange Pi 5 using FFmpeg? (or using gstreamer?) Could you please share with me the way to do it? Thank you very much indeed!

Hi Basically the subj sums it up. I got the AP6275P wireless module with Armbian, and BT is not functional. `hcitool dev` doesn't show the device in its output. Neither does `rfkill`. It works with the Ubuntu image published by Orange Pi though, so it doesn't look like a hardware issue. I'm using Armbian 23.5 Jammy Gnome with the 5.10.160 kernel. Happy to provide any additional data.

I've setup the pwm overlay but while it shows up the pwm devices in /devices - it is missing the pwm0 control I've read couple posts where ppl have been able to override the overlays by decompiling the original one, but I can't make sense of the dtc dtb dtbo and dtsi files 😕 Any guides or other suggestions to fix the pwm control? Temperature and fan control on OPI5 - Orange Pi 5 / 5B / 5 Plus - Armbian Community Forums Rock Pi4 pwm control - no overlay? - Rockchip - Armbian Community Forums

I built apt packages for the OPI 5 wiring pi and have them hosted in lauchpad https://launchpad.net/~erik1220/+archive/ubuntu/wiringpi-opi Any way to contribute them to the official build? Btw apt-add-repository is broken on 25.8 - I assume it is a side effect of python 3.11... seen similar errors on ubuntu

If anyone is looking at fixing the access for gpio and i2c - I found you can fix it with the following udev rules addgroup --system i2c addgroup --system gpio create in /etc/udev/rules.d/60-i2c-tools.rules SUBSYSTEM=="i2c-dev",KERNEL=="i2c*", GROUP="i2c", MODE="0660" create in /etc/udev/rules.d/61-gpio-tools.rules SUBSYSTEM=="gpio",KERNEL=="gpiochip*", GROUP="gpio", MODE="0660"

I am trying to leverage the first run script but am not having any luck. Here are the steps that I am following: 1. flashed the image onto the SD card 2. mounted SDcard on my mac (also tried steps from linux) 3. renamed the file from armbian_first_run.txt.template to armbian_first_run.txt 4. Edited the contents of the file to include the following: FR_general_delete_this_file_after_completion=1 FR_net_change_defaults=1 FR_net_ethernet_enabled=1 FR_net_wifi_enabled=0 FR_net_wifi_ssid='MySSID' FR_net_wifi_key='MyWiFiKEY' FR_net_wifi_countrycode='US' FR_net_use_static=1 FR_net_static_ip='192.168.1.201' FR_net_static_mask='255.255.255.0' FR_net_static_gateway='192.168.1.1' FR_net_static_dns='192.168.1.9' 5. saved file and unmounted the disk 6. booted into armbian by placing the microsd card into the orangepi5 and powering on From what I can tell these steps should configure the "first run" file to run on first boot and apply 192.168.1.201 as a static IP address to my ethernet interface but this doesn't happen. What am I doing wrong here? I believe the file is being read on first boot because it does actually delete itself (the very first line set to True) but the device still prefers DHCP and just grabs an IP from my DHCP server.

Hi, what is the appropriate way to upgrade from the earlier 23.5.1 to the latest 23.5.5 on the orange pi 5? Thanks

Has anyone successfully migrated from 23.2 (stable) to 23.5 (stable)? Is that scenario possible today? I'm looking to get the Bluetooth working, I know it has been fixed in 23.5 but that one is currently broken.

Hello! Has anyone tried to play straight unconverted hevc video from a GoPro 11? Iv'e tried ffplay and gst-play but I'm just getting a static image and a bunch of these errors, [swscaler @ 0x7f49d399c0] [swscaler @ 0x7f49d47a50] deprecated pixel format used, make sure you did set range correctly I have successfully played example jellyfish videos of hevc and hevc 10bit formats, ffmpeg reports the following details from the GoPro footage, Stream #0:0[0x1](eng): Video: hevc (Main) (hvc1 / 0x31637668), yuvj420p(pc, bt709), 3840x2160 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 119725 kb/s, 119.88 fps, 119.88 tbr, 120k tbn (default) Any suggestions?

I got my Orange Pi 5 board to boot v6.1.20 I took all the patches from here: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/manjaro-arm/packages/core/linux-rk3588/-/tree/main/ and built from Armbian's latest trunk source. These patch(es) will need to be modified to support v6.2 & v6.3. > uname -a > Linux orangepi5 6.1.20-rockchip-rk3588 #trunk SMP Tue Apr 25 11:47:11 UTC 2023 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

On my Orange Pi 5, I have successfully installed the X11VNC server. I followed the guide at the following link X11VNC and everything works as expected. I can connect with Real VNC from another device and see the desktop of the Orange Pi as if I were in front of its display. However, when the Orange Pi 5 is powered on without a display connected to the HDMI port, the access with Real VNC doesn't work as before. I get a black screen and I am unable to interact with the Orange Pi. I had a similar issue with Raspberry Pi, where I could resolve it by setting a default screen resolution. How can I achieve this with Armbian? How can I configure an alternative resolution when the HDMI port is not connected?

Anyone have any success getting this module for new MediaTek WIFI 6 adapters? I've tried this backport of the mainline driver but get this compilation error. https://github.com/astsam/mt7921/issues/1 Anyone any ideas?

I don't know why, I think after doing "sudo apt update/upgrade" (but I'm not sure), the wiringOP library on "orange pi 5" with Armbian 23.02.2 doesn't work anymore. If I run the command "sudo gpio readall" I get the following output: Oops: Unable to determine board revision from /proc/device-tree/system/linux,revision or from /proc/cpuinfo -> No "Hardware" line -> You'd best google the error to find out why. Can anyone help me solve this problem?

I originally posted this on reddit after seeing a lot of posts trying to use a SATA M.2 SSD and saying it wouldn't boot with replies telling them to go buy a NVME M.2 SSD which isn't necessary when the board does support SATA M.2 with flashing the correct bootloader. This guide has 3 different sections, 1 being booting with Orange pi OS and 2 being with Armbian OS Orange Pi OS Instructions Download Orange Pi OS Ubuntu or Debian from their website http://www.orangepi.org/html/hardWare/computerAndMicrocontrollers/service-and-support/Orange-pi-5.html unzip the 7z file to get the .img file and flash it to your sd card with your preferred flasher i.e balenaetcher. Once flashed put it into orange pi 5 and boot from sd card first once booted, the rest will be done in a terminal. go ahead and do your usual update sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade -y 3. then make sure to wipe your SPI of any previous bootloader (give it time to complete, you'll know it's done when you get your cursor back in terminal) sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mtdblock0 bs=1M count=1 4. Write sata bootloader to SPI sudo dd if=/usr/share/orangepi5/rkspi_loader_sata.img of=/dev/mtdblock0 && sudo sync 5. Edit boot file on sd card to recognize sata by adding overlays line to the bottom, save then reboot sudo nano /boot/orangepiEnv.txt overlays=ssd-sata sudo reboot 6. On reboot you will still boot into SD card but now you should see "sda" (your sata SSD) show up on your list of devices when typing: lsblk 7. Put the same Orange Pi OS image you used in step 1 in any directory on your orange pi making sure it is unzipped and is in .img format. I just used the web browser in orange pi os to redownload from the website which for me put it in directory /home/orangepi/Downloads 8. Flash your downloaded .img to your sata ssd with this command (substitute with your directory to .img) sudo dd bs=1M if=/path/your/orangepi.img of=/dev/sda status=progress && sudo sync 9. Mount your ssd so you can edit the ssd’s boot file to support sata and reboot sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ sudo nano /mnt/boot/orangepiEnv.txt overlays=ssd-sata sudo umount /mnt/ && sudo sync sudo poweroff 10. Remove SDcard, turn on orange pi and it should boot orange pi OS from your M.2 sata ssd now Armbian OS Instructions Relatively same instructions with different file names write armbian .img file to your sd card with balenaetcher, I chose to use the more up to date imags from their github here https://github.com/armbian/build/releases/ make sure to unzip boot armbian from sd card, wipe spi sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mtdblock0 bs=1M count=1 3 Download sata spi bootloader from orange github, place it on your sd card (mine is in downloads directory) and write to spi https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/orangepi-build/blob/next/external/packages/bsp/rk3588/usr/share/orangepi5/rkspi_loader_sata.img sudo dd if=/home/pi/Downloads/rkspi_loader_sata.img of=/dev/mtdblock0 status=progress && sudo sync 4. Edit boot file to recognize sata then reboot sudo nano /boot/armbianEnv.txt overlays=opi5-sata sudo reboot 5. Once rebooted you can check sda shows up with command: lsblk 6. download the same armbian.img you used for step 1 to your orange pi making sure it's unzipped in .img format, then flash it to your ssd sudo dd bs=1M if=/path/your/armbian.img of=/dev/sda status=progress && sudo sync 7. Mount /boot/ of ssd so you can edit the ssd’s boot file to support sata and reboot sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ sudo nano /mnt/boot/armbianEnv.txt overlays=opi5-sata sudo umount /mnt/ && sudo sync sudo poweroff 8. Remove SDcard and start SBC, resize filesystem to use all available space sudo systemctl enable armbian-resize-filesystem

Loading the latest dist with 5.10.160 kernel, the header package has wrong version...

I thought I had read that someone had the T2U working out of the box. Well, it's mostly there. When I tried it, didn't work. Got message in dmesg that firmware file not found. Did a Google search and found that it came down to the mediatek firmware files needing to be in the /lib/firmware/mediatek directory but they are currently in the /lib/firmware directory. FYI, the /lib/firmware/mediatek directory already existed and did not need to be created. Also in the current Jammy Gnome desktop Armbian, the file that was being loaded, mt7610e.bin, was not there and only the backup file, mt7610u.bin, was there in the /lib/firmware directory. What I did was download the mt7610e and mt7610u from: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/mediatek I placed them in the /lib/firmware/mediatek directory. This was before I saw that the /lib/firmware directory contained the mt7610u.bin file. Rebooted and then no errors in dmesg but correct loading and recognizing the T2U and my WiFi router/SSID. Don't know if there would be issues with other Mediatek dongles or if Armbian needs to be updated for this or it's an issue elsewhere. Just thought this would be useful for others trying to find a working dongle or trying to make their T2U/Mediatek based dongles work.

With the prior image and kernel 5.10.110 I was able to run compile.sh and produce the linux-source-legacy-rockchip-rk3588_23.02.0-trunk_all.deb which provided the kernel source in /usr/src/linux-source-5.10.110-rockchip-rk3588.tar.xz. I downloaded the latest img which provides kernel 5.10.160 which booted fine. However, running the same compile.sh process I used previously with success produced the older deb package that contains the 5.10.110 kernel source. There were a couple of errors displayed. My compile.sh command is: ./compile.sh BOARD=orangepi5 BRANCH=legacy BUILD_ONLY=kernel RELEASE=jammy KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no The first error encountered was a prompt for username/password to access https://github.com/morrownr/8821cu-20210118/. I tried creating a github account but those credentials did not work. Pressing Enter bypassed the authentication failure and continued but the kernel failed to build with "[ error ] Kernel was not built". Assuming this error was in part due to not having access to https://github.com/morrownr/8821cu-20210118/. My primary goal is to acquire the kernel 5.10.160 kernel source so that I can build external kernel modules. I did see the leaflet-8 notice. Is the issue I describe above covered by the leaflet-8 notice? or do I need to use different compile.sh options? Perhaps a different BRANCH= value? I tried using the compile.sh menu system but got the same result.

I'm trying to get wifi working with the new wifi chip on the official image 23.5 but it seems to be missing the dtb for the Orange Pi 5b. Does anyone mind posting that file? I did follow the steps to extract that file from an official image but I can't trace the source anymore. Also any update on the availability of the 23.5 images in the apt? I just switched my release to nightly but it still shows 23.02 Thanks Erik

Hello, I would like the ability to run Firefox or Chromuim rather than Gnome or any desktop environment when I start up my Orange Pi 5. This is for a device I'm setting up that (when rebooted) ideally won't even prompt the user to log in, it'll just directly bring up the browser and directly to a specific URL. Any thoughts on how I might do this? David

I was able to flash armbian bookworm cli to the ssd using balena etcher but when I boot the OPI5 from the sdcard and run lsbk it can only see the sdcard any ideas ...
