I'm using Orange Pi 5 Plus, I've updated to latest by apt upgrade but seems to be stuck on old version as you can see 25.2.2 but kernel is still 6.1.75 : # uname -a Linux abeure 6.1.75-vendor-rk35xx #1 SMP Wed Aug 21 11:45:59 UTC 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux # cat /var/log/apt/history.log Start-Date: 2025-02-25 01:00:39 Commandline: /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade Upgrade: armbian-firmware:arm64 (25.2.1, 25.2.2) End-Date: 2025-02-25 01:00:42 Start-Date: 2025-02-25 01:01:10 Commandline: /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade Upgrade: linux-u-boot-orangepi5-plus-vendor:arm64 (24.11.1, 25.2.2) End-Date: 2025-02-25 01:01:11 Latest version https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-5-plus/ does not seems to be fetched.

Happy New Year for all, My old Samsung Monitor stopped working some days ago, and I dont know if it will be fixed, so I decided to buy a new LG 27'' Monitor. My Zorin OS and Windows on X64, Raspbian and Ubuntu On Raspberry PIs are working properly. But booting Armbian - Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble) on "Orange PI 5" and "Orange PI 5 Plus" My New monitor refuses to show any image (only black screen). "Orange PI OS XFCE" on "Orange PI 5" is OK on my new monitor. I took a litle look at boot files but I didn't find anything to fix this problem. Any idea to solve this problem??? Thanks, Cury

I have built quite a few Debian12 Desktop images from github.com/armbian/build for a Debian Bookworm/XFCE/Vendor Kernel environment and noticed that recent vendor kernels do not have I2C-2.M0 as a kernel module listed within armbian-config. It appears that only two kernel modules are to be found, one being Panthos, the other involving a change in frequence of some item. This image does include I2C-2.mo: Armbian-unofficial_25.02.0-trunk_Orangepi5-plus_bookworm_vendor_6.1.84_xfce_desktop.img which includes kernel: Linux Atlas 6.1.99-vendor-rk35xx #1 SMP Fri Feb 21 18:11:03 UTC 2025 aarch64 GNU/Linux But these images do not contain the I2C-2.m0 kernel modules: Armbian-unofficial_25.02.0-trunk_Orangepi5-plus_bookworm_vendor_6.1.84_xfce_desktop.img (same kernel build as Ambian 25.0.2.0-trunk listed above sans I2C-2-m0) Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_Orangepi5-plus_bookworm_current_6.12.17_xfce_desktop.img Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_Orangepi5-plus_bookworm_vendor_6.1.99_xfce_desktop.img Is it now necessary to customize the compile options for the kernel and choose that module for compilation when building newer vendor images? It would make sense (to me at least) to have each build option to have vendor kernels contain the same precompiled kernel modules for simplicity sake. I'm not even sure if the I2C-2.m0 is available or an option in the later vendor kernels to build.

Hello all, i feel i may have made a fatal mistake. I was running Armbian Bookworm server on an Orange PI 5 Plus. All was well until the latest update. After updating, I thought i'd checkout what's changed in arbian-config. I enabled rolling releases and rebooted when prompted. Sadly, the OPI5+ now wont boot. Anything I can do? Or do I need to reinstall everything? Thanks in advaced for anyone taking the time to help Shad

Hi everybody, I installed Deb 12 Cinnamon Armbian flavor on an Orange PI 5 and Orange PI 5 Plus. This: dl.armbian.com/orangepi5-plus/Bookworm_current_cinnamon-backported-mesa I want to test 'virt-manager' but qemu is not available for installation. Error on console: packages are updated me@orangepi5-plus:~$ sudo apt install qemu [sudo] senha me: Lendo listas de pacotes... Pronto Construindo árvore de dependências...

I have a new Orange Pi 5 plus 16GB. Seems a pretty cool board and I want to replace my old Rpi 4 for Media center and Home assistant. I tried several distribution but can't get all my stuff working. The OPI5+ is attached to an onkio 5.1 receiver and the receiver go to a FHD TV. What is want to achieve is in Kodi 1. play video with GPU 2. libCec in Kodi to control Onkio volume 3. Passthrough audio Is there a working solution? Thank you

Hello everyone, This is my 1st post on the forum. My intention with this post is not to report a specific issue that I am running into, but more because I would like to collect info and suggestions from people with more experience than myself. I've recently received an Orange Pi 5 Plus and have spent a bit of time exploring operating systems suitable for this system and have settled on the Armbian solution. I'm a HW designer by trade, and have done some SW work, but I do not consider myself proficient in SW at all. I find my way around things, but that's about as far as it goes.... For the my planned use of the OPi5+, I will need eMMC boot (for the improved OS performance and longevity) and access to the various interfaces (mainly SPI and I2C) on the GPIO header. What I have discovered so far: - Version 6.1 of the Armbian built kernel supports the GPIO interfaces quite well (I haven't actually communicated with anything yet, just got the interfaces showing up in /dev), but I could not get it to see the eMMC storage on the board. I tried various different options and flavours of the 6.1 images and I never saw /dev mmcblk0 listed. - Version 6.10 kernel builds were successful at accessing the eMMC (/dev/mmcblk0 was present) and I have successfully transferred the OS to the eMMC storage on the board. However this version of the kernel has a limited number of device tree overlays (mostly different UART options, and one I2C option). I'm assuming that the 6.10 kernel is quite a new build and that more support for the board's IO should be available soon. Did I overlook something on the 6.1 version regarding the eMMC support? Am I missing something regarding overlays in the 6.10 build? My thinking is to stay with 6.10 as it supports eMMC and it's the newest kernel version. Cheers Volt

HI, On one orangepi5B, it seems not possible to have details from u-boot when starting target.

Hi, I've been compiling my own Armbian images since 6.13-rc5, and now 6.13 and I noticed that when I compile i3, youtube videos and webgl tests don't work as great when I compile i3 with mesa-vpu as it does when I compile e.g., cinnamon. I also noticed that the suffix is not -mesa-desktop, only -desktop. Is it as per design and i3 doesn't include mesa at all, or is it some kind of bug? Thanks!

There's a strange issue with my orange pi 5 plus. When I boot into the ubuntu image, everything is fast, stable and zippy. But when I boot into the openmediavault image, it's incredibly slow. Simple operations like apt upgrade crawl. I noticed the cpu frequency is stuck at 408 MHz in htop in the openmediavault image. I ran a test. I opened another console and ran yes. Went back to htop and the frequency was still stuck at 408 MHz with one core pegged at 100% from the yes. So I fired up the ubuntu image and did the same thing. The core was at 100% but the frequency was at 2304mhz on that core. There is something wrong with the openmediavault image. What do I need to do to fix this?

Hello again, Based on the recommendations provided in a previous ticket, I have decided to attempt to build a custom image for the Orangepi 5 Plus. I read the docs provided in the link of that post and noticed that there is no mention of installing the cross complier tool chain for arm in ubuntu 22.04, which I just downloaded for this purpose. Do I need to install those tools or will that be addressed once I clone the git repo and run the compile.sh BOARD=orangepi5-plus ? Also the instructions mention Multipass and Docker, I have a Debian 12 workstation with virt-manager installed, will that work or will I need a dedicated ubuntu 22.04 host, because in that case I can just build on the host and not in a Multipass VM. thanks -ali

Hi everybody, I installed Deb 12 Cinnamon Armbian flavor. This: dl.armbian.com/orangepi5-plus/Bookworm_current_cinnamon-backported-mesa When I open system setup there is no Idiom/Language Icon. So all apps remains in English. Even if I run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" and "sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales" I found an issue running "armbian-config"/localization/change Keyboard layout, on console this msg "setupcon: We are not on the console, the console is left unconfigured." But if I run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" from a terminal window no error. Thanks, Cury

Hi all, I am used to update my systems every day, but this time.... Yesterday, all of a sudden, after an "apt update" command showed to me there was 222 updates available. Wow, there was many updates on KDE, I left it for later, but after finishing my tasks I made the upgrade. After reboot, at login screen, password was accepted but login screen reappears. I tryed many times. I noticed that login was set to "KDE Wayland"... I changed to "KDE X11" and Bingo... Login ok. But Task bar is shown everything to the left and without the apps. All apps used before last logout were reopened, but all of them were located on top left of screen and no way to change the top app, only terminating the top app to access other app. No ALT TAB works. And at botton right of wallpaper it is saying "Plasma 6.3" in other words, unusable... And now, what can I do? If I reinstall .img I cant upgrade anymore??? Thanks from Brazil, Cury .img used to install: “Armbian - unofficial_25.02.0 - trunk_Orangepi5-plus_noble_vendor _ 6.1.84_kde-neon-kisak _ desktop” My system before crash: Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04 (Neon) KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.10.0 Qt Version: 6.8.1 Kernel Version: 6.1.84-vendor-rk35xx (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 4 × ARM Cortex-A 55, 4 × ARM Cortex-A76 Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mali-G610 Product Name: Orange Pi 5 Plus

I installed armbian with a vendor kernel 6.1.75-vendor-rk35xx. I want to be sure the kernel is not updated. I used armbian-config and selected "SY203 - Disable Armbian kernel upgrades" Disable Armbian kernel/firmware upgrades Would you like to continue? after selecting "Yes", the menu shows "SY202 - Enable Armbian firmware upgrades" so I check with apt-mark showhold and it returned only "armbian-firmware" Do I have to put my kernel packages on hold? linux-dtb-vendor-rk35xx linux-headers-vendor-rk35xx linux-image-vendor-rk35xx I find misleading the change in the description from SY203 to SY202: kernel -> firmware

Hello Developers, I ran into some issues installing the latest release on an Orange Pi 5 Plus. The images I downloaded are as follows: Armbian_24.11.2_Orangepi5-plus_noble_current_6.12.0_kde-neon-kisak_desktop.img.xz Armbian_24.11.2_Orangepi5-plus_noble_vendor_6.1.75_gnome-kisak_desktop.img.xz The KDE version will install and boot from the 256GB emmc drive, however it only works if there is a 4K HDMI monitor attached to HDMI1, I was not able to get it to display on a 1920x1200 HDMI monitor nor a USB connected or HDMI connected portable display (2560x1440). The Gnome version will boot with any of those 4 types of displays (4K HDMI, 1920x1200 HDMI and USB C or USB C to HDMI portable display) so in the end I would most likely install the GNOME version and then add KDE or Enlightenment packages to it since I don't like GNOME at all (20 yrs Debian/XFCE4 user). There is one issue I have with the GNOME version: It does not detect the emmc drive and only the SD card and the 500 GB NVME drives are showing up in gparted and fdisk. I am looking forward to using Armbian on an Orange Pi 5 Plus as my daily desktop and I hope this can be easily resolved. I am open to using either version as long as I can use a portable USB C or HDMI display with less than 4K resolution. thanks -ali

Hi Anyone else having problems with NVMe disks on the Orange Pi 5 Plus 16gb?

I somewhat recently used Armbian Build to compile a desktop Bookworm image, which is quite stable and functional except for EMMC support. Packages: Debian stable (bookworm) Support: DIY (custom image) Linux Atlas 6.1.84-vendor-rk35xx #1 SMP Tue Dec 24 13:36:04 UTC 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux My question is where can one find the current status of the various kernel versions support for features like I2C, SPI, EMMC, MESA, etc.? I recognize that newer kernels like 6.12.yyy are very much a WIP. I also would love more information on the the RK3588 kit used with kernels to backport features.

Hi. I have the official raspberry TV hat https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/accessories/tv-hat.html I'm wondering if I can use it on the Orange Pi. https://pinout.xyz/pinout/tv_hat http://www.orangepi.org/orangepiwiki/images/a/ac/Plus5-img302.png

I installed latest Armbian_24.5.1_Orangepi5-plus_bookworm_vendor_6.1.43_minimal.img and I can't get wifi to work. The adapter is RTL8852BE.

Hi, I'm running Ambian 24.11.2 Noble Genome version on OrangePi 5 Plus in my nvme drive. I want to change my system language to Chinese simplified. However, when I select 'Chinese simplified' in 'Settings -> System -> Region & Language -> Manage Installed Languages -> Install/Remove Languages' and click 'Apply'. It says: 'software database is broken. It is impossible to install or remove any software. Please use the software manager "Synaptic" or run "sudo apt-get install -f " in terminal to fix this issue at first.' I did tried to run synaptic with sudo and clicked 'Fix Broken Packages' and 'Reload'. It says 0 is broken, 0 to install/upgrade and 0 to remove. I also tried to run "sudo apt-get install -f ". It says: ----------------- Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. ------------------ However, the problem persists. Interestingly, I found that French language can be installed properly via the same method. But neither simplified or traditional Chinese can be installed. I'm out of my wits. I would really appreciate any help to narrow the question!

I'm using an Orange Pi 5 Plus 16GB SBC, with Armbian image (https://dl.armbian.com/orangepi5-plus/Bookworm_current_cinnamon-backported-mesa) which uses Kernel 6.12. I am trying to get a BME280 I2C sensor attached to the following pins of the 40 pins; 1 (3.3v), 3 (GPIO0C0), 5 (GPIO0B7), and 6 (GND). The BME280 sensor has the VIN wired to 3.3v (pin 1), SDA wired to SDA (pin 3), SCL wired to SCL (pin 5), and GND to GND (pin 6). The device should use address 0x76, but isn't listed under the four I2C buses found in /dev. This configuration worked fine when using the stock OrangePi 5 Plus Debian Bookworm image, but does not have I2C2 listed as a device under /dev under Armbian image listed above. My armbianEnv.txt is: verbosity=1 bootlogo=true console=both overlay_prefix=rockchip-rk3588 fdtfile=rockchip/rk3588-orangepi-5-plus.dtb rootdev=UUID=3cbd3c35-190b-4cc5-8db3-4334fa84ccbd rootfstype=ext4 overlays=rockchip-rk3588-i2c8-m2 usbstoragequirks=0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u I have attached 4 images (screenshots) with the following captions i2c.png - List of I2C buses and addresses (Armbian Image) i2c_2.png - List of DTBs (Armbian Image) i2c_3.png - List of DTBOs aka overlays (Armbian Image) i2c_opi2.png - List of I2C buses and addresses of I2C2 (Orange Pi Debian 12 Image) Why isn't I2C2 found in /dev of Armbian image?

This is a new release of the uefi firmware for Orange Pi 5 Plus which now has mainline kernel support. My thought was that this new release would support armbian uefi builds but so far no love. Does anyone know of an armbian build that would work with this??? The is the one of the tag lines from readme.md found @ https://github.com/edk2-porting/edk2-rk3588 "It delivers a PC-like standardized boot experience, supporting multiple operating systems, such as Windows, Linux, BSD and VMware ESXi."

Desktop images with Armbian Linux v6.12 variant Cinnamon with mesa/vpu support fails to boot from SD card. The message displayed on screen is "Begin: Running /scripts/init-premount ... (initramfs) _" SPI was erased, and the minimal install have no issues booting from a sd card. The SBC is an Orange Pi 5 Plus with 16gb ram

Not an issue nor a bug nor a trouble abour my Orange pi or Armbian. I wanted to build my "own" armbian for educational purpose. I mean to raise my knowledge. I followed this page. https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Switches/ however since it's done. I'm looking for about how to make the *.img file or if I can use *.deb located in my ~/build/output/debs I just miss these informations to finish and trying my failure compilation. I say failure compilation because "first time" is always a fail By the way, if I posted in the wrong place. Delete my post and please accept my apologies.

I have built an Orange Pi 5 Plus systems. I have a 256gb eMMC card which seems to run as speed would expect. Yet when I test the NVMe drive I get slow speeds compared to what is suggested to get. I have seen other people posts that suggest they are getting at least 4gb/s using NVME drives. I have searched for other issues but there is no errors in the logs just can't get the speeds I was expecting. I have the following which suggests at least 5gb/s KINGSTON SNV3S500G I have formatted it using Ext4. root@orangepi5-plus:/boot# hdparm -Tt /dev/nvme0n1 /dev/nvme0n1: Timing cached reads: 2804 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1404.10 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 1394 MB in 3.00 seconds = 464.64 MB/sec
