I have a couple Orange Pi's, and the HDMI is broken. I noticed that many believe that it is Armbian, but it is not. Orange Pi's probably won't be where we want them until 2025. I found a couple notes from development teams, one below and one from September. Both say the same thing: essentially it's in the works: "The RK3588 SoC family integrates the newer Synopsys DesignWare HDMI 2.1 Quad-Pixel (QP) TX controller IP and a HDMI/eDP TX Combo PHY based on a Samsung IP block. Add just the basic support for now, i.e. RGB output up to 4K@60Hz, without audio, CEC or any of the HDMI 2.1 specific features." https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-rockchip/patch/20240801-b4-rk3588-bridge-upstream-v2-3-9fa657a4e15b@collabora.com/

Hello, I would like to have dual boot with a startup menu similar to GRUB on a PC, the idea is to have Android installed on the eMMC and Ubuntu on the NVMe, I am referring to an Orange Pi 5 Plus. Has anyone gotten it or is working on it? Thank you

After the update, the welcome screen shows Armbian 24.5.1, but when I log out of the shell, it displays Armbian 24.8.2 (please see the attached screen). Is this normal ?

Hello! First time poster, long time admirer. I've been unable to get ANY of the 6.10.x images to boot off SD card (Sandisk Extreme) for the Orange Pi 5 Plus. Specific images which are not working for me: Armbian_24.8.0-trunk.472_Orangepi5-plus_noble_edge_6.10.2_gnome-kisak_desktop.img.xz Armbian_24.5.5_Orangepi5-plus_noble_edge_6.10.1_gnome-kisak_desktop.img.xz Armbian_24.8.0-trunk.472_Orangepi5-plus_trixie_edge_6.10.2_minimal.img.xz Has anybody else had better luck?

I'm trying to install https://dl.armbian.com/orangepi5-plus/Bookworm_vendor_minimal in my Orange PI 5 Plus to the emmc but I've got a black screen after removing sd card.

Hello, Long time Gentoo and Raspberry Pi user, but I am interested in a more powerful Arm device. Will buy an Orange Pi 5 plus device if it meets my requirements. I am interested about dual or multiple boot: let's say Linux and Android or, at least multiple Linux distro - let's say Armbian and Gentoo. It is possible ? On Raspberry Pi 4 with a larger boot partition I switch content of /boot from boot/debian /boot/gentoo, have multiple partition on SATA SSD connected via USB edit root parameter in /boot/cmdline.txt and that way I choose which distro to boot. On Orange PI 5 (Plus) I read that SPI chip have to be flashed to choose the boot device from SDCard (default) or NVME disk - I am not sure about eMMC memory, but it is ok to use SD card as boot partition and change root to Gentoo/Armbian/Android partition. No problem using command line, dd, tar partitioning. So questions: 1. Is dual boot possible now on Orange Pi 5 Plus ? 2. If yes, is possible to switch between Linux and Android ? 3. Or just between multiple Linux installations ? I am convinced that Raspberry Pi support is better, I put this question here, because on Orange Pi forum I am not yet able to make a new post. What to expect from Raxda/Orange ? I am referring to hardware drivers support like mesa, kernel etc, not questions, community, or simply technical support. On panfork I see a new package created on 2023-08-16 - https://launchpad.net/~liujianfeng1994/+archive/ubuntu/panfork-mesa , but no commit on git in the last 8 months. Nothing about mesa 23.1, it stay to mesa 20.0 from the beginning. On the other hand Rock Pi 4 also started from kernel 5.10, but now has support for kernel 6.1 - latest stable one, on Armbian. Thank you for your support!

Hi all Cannot make usable wol on my orange pi 5 plus. Os: Armbian 24.5.1 Bookworm with Linux 6.1.75-vendor-rk35xx WOL tested in magic or unicast settings or all flags enabled (phy, unicast, multicast, broadcast, arp, magic) Test sending wol packets with running tcpdump -i enP3p49s0 '(udp and port 7) or (udp and port 9)' show that orange pi successfully receive wol packets on speeds 1000 or even 10 mbps while powered on. But after sending orange pi to suspend or power off I cannot bring it online via WOL. So I suppose network component outside orange pi is ok and it is something wrong with orange pi. Any ideas?

Hello there, I connected my board to 5v/4a power adapter and the blu/red led shines...yet the monitor shows "No Signal". Any ideas will be appreciated, Damian

Updated: The Armbian vendor kernel version now includes Panthor, and will soon be able to run it as well. Waydroid images: https://github.com/WillzenZou/armbian_fork_build/releases/download/willzen-armbian-24.5.0/2.waydroid-panthorv10-240416-v1.img.tar.gz Note: Waydroid needs to be run in the Wayland desktop environment. (Such as Gnome wayland, KDE wayland session) What's work: OpenGL ES is ok, I have tested some game: Mincecrat, gameSHINE, Monument Valley 2 What's not work: Vulkan. Video hardware decode and encode. How to use Waydroid 1.

Hi, Like the topic says, both NICs are underperforming, they are connected to a Gb switch which I use and benched with other machines, neither iperf nor iperf3 (threaded and not threaded) go higher than 700Mbps. Another server plugged on the same switch reaches Gb steadily. I applied CPU affinity so both IRQ's are handled by the A76 cores but it makes no difference. OS: Armbian 24.5.5 Bookworm, uname -a: Linux geonosis 6.1.75-vendor-rk35xx #1 SMP Fri Jul 19 14:49:03 UTC 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux There's not much running on the board for now.

Long story short, I accidentally removed all the contents of the /boot folder 😢. I'm running minimal Armbian 24.5.1 Bookworm with Linux 6.1.43-vendor-rk35xx on Orange pi 5 plus. It all started with a failed apt update indicating there wasn't enough space in the boot partition. The update was trying to install 6.1.75-vendor-rk35xx kernel, so I decided to remove the old one from the boot to free up some space. Instead, I accidentally applied 'rm -r' to the entire /boot folder. My SBC is working fine now, but I'm afraid it won't boot on next restart, so I'm looking for a way to recover the files. So far, I performed apt upgrade, which put the new 6.1.75-vendor-rk35xx kernel in the boot, but I'm not sure if it installed correctly - there was a warning that it couldn't be done automatically since there were no headers. I also copied armbianEnv.txt and boot.cmd from Armbian_24.5.3_Orangepi5-plus_bookworm_vendor_6.1.43_minimal.img so now armbianEnv.txt looks like below: verbosity=1 bootlogo=false console=both overlay_prefix=rockchip-rk3588 fdtfile=rockchip/rk3588-orangepi-5-plus.dtb rootdev=UUID=0af659d6-5b18-4106-9904-3ec2a1445b8a rootfstype=ext4 Finally I used u-boot-tools to make boot.scr: mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d boot.cmd boot.scr Did I miss anything, or am I good to try restarting the SBC and see how it goes 😅?

Hi all, Just want to share this issue i came across from my recently purchased OPI5+ 32GB version. I noticed it freezes when transferring .img from micro SD card to eMMC or NVMe drives via the command line. Now the img file are armbian OS and no its not the img file issue. at times I can get it to around 70seconds and it will freeze. hard reboot is required, unable to complete the transfer. I have also tried to reduce the bs=10 speed but still the same. Now i have also got the 16GB version and this works fine with no issues... Good chance there is something wrong with this latest hardware.. ? ?

After upgrading to kernel 6.10.1-edge-rockchip-rk3588 I started getting: fdee0000.hdmi_receiver: hdmirx_wait_lock_and_get_timing: HDMI pull out, return on the console. This repeats constantly and quite rapidly, and just doesn't stop. I can silence it by plugging a monitor into HDMI port, but... I prefer to run my board headless (serial + net). Does anybody know any other way to get rid of this? This "feature" was absent with the -rc7 kernel.

I bought a wifi dongle (for 3 pounds on ebay!) having a realtek chip 8821cu. There were some disconnects from time to time, and I was unable to find out why from the logs. Few days ago I installed and recompiled the realtek drivers from https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88, got some new modules, replaced the modules in the directory /lib/modules/6.1.43-vendor-rk35xx/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88 Since then, I have no more disconnect. This may helps someone maybe.

Hi there, I've been trying to enable g_ether and USB OTG on my Orange PI 5+. I've tried things like editing /boot/orangepiEnv.txt and adding module-load dwc2,g_ether. However, I don't get any usb0 interface pop up which indicates to me that the USB/OTG mode is not set to peripheral on the settings. I'm not sure how to go about it? Would anyone be able to advise? I want to use the power port for also Ethernet.

Hello, I want to setup a Orange Pi 5 Plus to use a PCIe GPU to run games with. I can see that the GPU card is detected in lspci, but am not sure how to switch to it. I do have multiple old and new cards I can try if needed. Any advice would be appreciated.

RTL8852BE is the official recommended Wifi module for Orange Pie 5 PLUS, but it is not available in Armbian 24.5.1 Linux Vendor Kernel 6.1 without a driver module. Hope the official driver will be added to the 6.1 kernel. Thanks.

Hello Is it possible to install Emby Server in Orange Pi5 plus? Regards Hugo

Hello everybody. I own a Orange Pi 5 Plus with Debian and 3 partitions: boot, root and storage (fat, ext4, ext4). Now I want to try Armbian but I don't want to overwrite the storage partition, so I shoudn't use dd to write the .img file. Ant tip to solve this situation? Thanks.

Hi, I have installed Ubuntu Jammy on my Orange pi 5 plus board a while ago, I was wondering if I could upgrade to the new Noble release of armbian for OPI5 plus without having to reinstall the whole image and without breaking the system, I upgraded the kernel to the latest version with no issues, I just wanted to know the correct and safest way of upgrading the Noble release of Armbian. Thank you in advance.

I am using Orange Pi 5 Plus with eMMC. I tried to install a program I need, but an error occurred saying that installation was not possible because SecureBoot was disabled on the system. So I need to enable SecureBoot, how do I do that? Thank you.

Hi guys We're trying to run SPI with Linuxcnc. But sometimes SPI latency with other hardware (FPGA) gets big. The operating system is armbian and I could install a real-time kernel on it so I know it shouldn't be real-time issue with kernel. We've noticed that it might be the spidev driver issue that is not real-time. And now we're gonna communicate with low-level SPI. Bit I dont know how? can any one please help me?
