Hello, I am new to Armbian and Linux and want to set up my raspberry pi camera module 2 for my rock pi4b so I can start doing computer vision work. Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi I want to modify base armbian image using choot in order to install necessary software. I am also creating user during that process. My question is how can I skip or prefill the form that appears on first run? (user creation, time zone setting etc.) I was surfing the forum and found this answer. So, I came up with few options: 1) It looks like I can prefill my desired values for the form in "/usr/lib/armbian/armbian_firstlogin" file by editing it during chroot 2) I can remove user input parts in "/usr/lib/armbian/armbian_firstlogin", but preserve other important lines, since user will be created during chroot Is this valid options or there is more proper way to do this?

I enabled spi-spidev through armbian-config but it does not show in the /dev/ directory. How do i fix this?

Hello everyone, I was going to purchase Rock Pi 4 model B+ (with WiFi/BT and eMMC chip). I see that Rock Pi 4 family is supported by Armbian (https://www.armbian.com/rockpi4/), however, there is no mention of models A+ and B+. There are just A, B and C+. Could you please confirm/refute that Rock Pi 4 B+ is supported by Armbian and point me to the image for that model?

I am in the process to migrate a project from a Raspberry Pi 4B to a Rock Pi 4B+. Among others external devices shall be connected via WiFi AP, I2C, 1-Wire and UART to the Rock Pi. To emphasis, the system is running healthy on a Rasberry. I managed to get WiFi AP and 1-Wire up and running on the Rock Pi. Now I got stuck with UART/UART4. Armbian 22.11.1 Bullseye with Linux 5.15.80-rockchip64 I enabled UART4 via Armbian-Config. Therefore, /boot/armbianEnv.txt shows: ... overlays=i2c7 uart4 w1-gpio param_w1_pin=GPIO4_D6 param_w1_pin_int_pullup=1 ... I can take a jump wire and bridge the TX-pin (GPIO1_B0, Pin#19) and RX-pin (GPIO1_A7, Pin#21). When sending bytes to the TX-pin I am receiving them instantly on the RX-Pin. That indicates to me the UART4 is working. On my system the serial port is /dev/ttyS4, with a baud rate of 1000!!. (I am doing this test via Node Red using a standard serial node) However, if I connect my TTL-signal cable to the RX-pin (TX disconnected), I do not see anything the RX-Pin (however this setup works on the Rasberry). I have done the same test on UART (/dev/ttyS2) with same result, not showing anything. I have no experience in Armbian or Rock Pi and would appreciate any hint into which direction to look. Is the unusual baud rate of 1000 a problem, or do I need some pull-up resistors or do I need to compile another dtbo driver like for the 1-wire?

Hi just a quick question What package is dt-bindings normally located in, i would assume kernel headers but i tried installation via armbian-config and couldn't see them. Can anyone confirm what package it normally is in or was i blind thanks. Was just working on adding support Waveshare Dual RS232 on SPI2, uploaded DTS to https://github.com/radxa/overlays/blob/main/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/overlays/rk3399-spi2-sc16is752.dts Atm i hardcoded the defines on machine but not ideal if it changes in the future Thanks

Any help with it ?

Hi guys, I am building armbian image for rockpi4b+ and its kernel is 6.0.11(edge version) and the bluetooth failed start up.

Hello. I am finished Armbian Jammy 22.05 Bulseye edge 5.16.20 gnome desktop on a Rockpi4 (rk3399). When I try to overclock from Armbian-config, it doesn't work. That is, I can enter the application, apply rockchip-rk3399-opp-2ghz.dtbo. Then reboot, go to armbian-config and set a new unlocked CPU clock speed of 2.2Ghz. But instead it is only available up to a maximum of 1.8hz. How can this be fixed? Do I have to create an image from scratch, or maybe there is some trick?

tried several armbian images with kernel 5.15.76, no success! even tried to disable SPI flash, although radxa says "no SPI Flash on the board" in contrast to the 4B version official 4.4 radxa image is booting: rockpi-4b-debian-bullseye-xfce4-arm64-20221109-1447-gpt.img can someone send me armbian bullseye image with older kernel?

Hi! After update to kernel 5.15.75 via apt upgrade, boot fails. Though I can flash an older image, I would prefer trying to recover existing setup and rollback to a previous kernel. What would be the best approach, ie flash image to usb, boot from usb and what then? I will appreciate any advice.

This is for those experiencing a similar issue on the Rock Pi 4B (possibly RK3399 in general) who don't have a fix yet. On Armbian Focal current for the Rock Pi 4B the sound from both HDMI and the audio jack stopped working and became undetectable to the system (Both Pulse-audio and ALSA couldn't detect anything except hdmi-sound and even then HDMI sound did not work). I fixed the issue by rolling back to the latest "current" kernel version in armbian-config (5.10.63-rockchip64). Now the system sound has gone back to normal.

Hi, i'd like to know if it's possible to disable the first run wizard (set up of root password, timezone locale etc) via armbian build framework? I have build my own image, and set the parameter DEST_LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" , but still the wizard shows up after flashing and asks me for the locale.

Hi, I am using Rock Pi 4B and want to be able to turn the system on after sleep (suspend/hibernate or any other state that would allow it). Previously, I have used MRAA library to set an interrupt, and called system("shutdown now") inside interrupt code. I did it according to the following post and according to the MRAA examples. I wrote a shell script, which executes the MRAA program. Shell script, in its turn, is called by a service on a start-up. So, with this method I was able to shutdown the system, but I cannot get out of this state via button press. I researched few posts, such as: 1, 2, and 3. It looks like either I have to modify the DTS file and generate new OS image, or perhaps there is a method to set the pin as a wake-up source inside the OS. While on Debian, when I go into directory: cd /sys/kernel/irq/<PIN #>/ There is a field called wakeup When doing cat wakeup it shows disabled Though I didn't find this folder in Armbian, but I suppose they may share similar settings for the pins. Can anyone please help me to achieve my goal? I came across another similar post, but unfortunately there was no solution there.

Hello everyone, I have a screen of 1280x800 resolution. while connecting the screen to my rockpi-4b, the resolution is set to 1024x768, and there is no 1280x800 option in the display setting panel. after learning from Internet for days, I think the root is that my screen doesn't have a correct EDID information. so I made some changes to let the kernel ignores the screen's edid information and use specified edid file. The resolution is successfully set to 1280x800, the only problem is that the screen display is shaking, as the attached video shows. The edid file's timing settings are shown as below: I tried to change the settings but it doesn't work. It would be greatly appreciated if somebody can share with me the correct edid file of 1280x800 resolution. Thanks, Yuming normal video.mp4

Hello everyone, I'm using SBC Rockpi4b running the Armbian system. I encountered a problem when using the Ethernet port. I connected the SBC to my laptop via an ethernet cable directly, just like what I did with the RaspberryPi. while playing with RaspberryPi (Raspbian OS) I can get the ethernet connected, the ip address is set to 168.254.xxx.xxx, i.e., private address. then I can successfully ping the RaspberryPi's ip address in my PC. while playing with the SBC (Armbian OS), the network manager seems to keep waiting a DHCP server repeatedly; and after a while (around 40 seconds) it pops up saying the ethernet disconnected; the only way I can make it connected is to set static ip addresses, but it's not the proper solution. After googling for days I realized that the two OS (Raspbian vs Armbian) run different programs for the DHCP. Raspbian apply dhcpcd, Armbian apply NetworkManager. so the first idea came to my mind was using the dhcpcd in Armbian. I have learnt that the NetworkManager can specify to use the dhcpcd as dhcp client. I followed some tutorials: 1. installing dhcpcd (sudo apt-get install dhcpcd5); 2. modifying the /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf to add: [main] dhcp=dhcpcd it seems work at the beginning, I can see a 169.254.xxx.xxx ip address in the "ifconfig" output, but after a while it was destroyed. I checked the two services' status: pi@192.168.0.108:~$ sudo systemctl status dhcpcd ● dhcpcd.service - DHCP Client Daemon Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/dhcpcd.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Mon 2022-07-11 14:32:17 CST; 6min ago Docs: man:dhcpcd(8) Process: 861 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/dhcpcd (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 1128 (dhcpcd) Tasks: 1 (limit: 4461) Memory: 968.0K CGroup: /system.slice/dhcpcd.service └─1128 /usr/sbin/dhcpcd Jul 11 14:33:25 rockpi-4b dhcpcd[1128]: eth0: adding address fe80::3eb:def9:d81e:17aa Jul 11 14:33:25 rockpi-4b dhcpcd[1128]: ipv6_addaddr1: Permission denied Jul 11 14:33:26 rockpi-4b dhcpcd[1128]: eth0: soliciting a DHCP lease Jul 11 14:33:26 rockpi-4b dhcpcd[1128]: eth0: soliciting an IPv6 router Jul 11 14:33:31 rockpi-4b dhcpcd[1128]: eth0: probing for an IPv4LL address Jul 11 14:33:35 rockpi-4b dhcpcd[1128]: eth0: using IPv4LL address 169.254.39.239 Jul 11 14:33:35 rockpi-4b dhcpcd[1128]: eth0: adding route to 169.254.0.0/16 Jul 11 14:33:51 rockpi-4b dhcpcd[1128]: eth0: deleted route to 169.254.0.0/16 Jul 11 14:33:51 rockpi-4b dhcpcd[1128]: eth0: adding route to 169.254.0.0/16 Jul 11 14:33:51 rockpi-4b dhcpcd[1128]: if_route (ADD): Invalid argument pi@192.168.0.108:~$ sudo systemctl status NetworkManager ● NetworkManager.service - Network Manager Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Mon 2022-07-11 14:32:17 CST; 6min ago Docs: man:NetworkManager(8) Main PID: 860 (NetworkManager) Tasks: 3 (limit: 4461) Memory: 13.8M CGroup: /system.slice/NetworkManager.service └─860 /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon Jul 11 14:34:36 rockpi-4b NetworkManager[860]: <info> [1657521276.7314] device (eth0): state change: config -> ip-config (reason 'none', sys-iface-state: 'managed') Jul 11 14:34:36 rockpi-4b NetworkManager[860]: <info> [1657521276.7344] dhcp4 (eth0): activation: beginning transaction (timeout in 45 seconds) Jul 11 14:35:21 rockpi-4b NetworkManager[860]: <warn> [1657521321.6769] dhcp4 (eth0): request timed out Jul 11 14:35:21 rockpi-4b NetworkManager[860]: <info> [1657521321.6771] dhcp4 (eth0): state changed unknown -> timeout Jul 11 14:35:21 rockpi-4b NetworkManager[860]: <info> [1657521321.6773] device (eth0): state change: ip-config -> failed (reason 'ip-config-unavailable', sys-iface-state: 'ma> Jul 11 14:35:21 rockpi-4b NetworkManager[860]: <warn> [1657521321.6828] device (eth0): Activation: failed for connection 'Wired connection 1' Jul 11 14:35:21 rockpi-4b NetworkManager[860]: <info> [1657521321.6842] device (eth0): state change: failed -> disconnected (reason 'none', sys-iface-state: 'managed') Jul 11 14:35:21 rockpi-4b NetworkManager[860]: <info> [1657521321.7049] dhcp4 (eth0): canceled DHCP transaction Jul 11 14:35:21 rockpi-4b NetworkManager[860]: <info> [1657521321.7051] dhcp4 (eth0): state changed timeout -> done Jul 11 14:35:21 rockpi-4b NetworkManager[860]: <info> [1657521321.7177] manager: startup complete It's my first post here, it will be greatly appreciated if anyone could tell me how to make the NetworkManager stop reinitializing the ethernet connection and assign a private ip address (169.254.xxx.xxx) instead?

Has anyone gotten this display to work in Armbian? I'm on a Rock Pi 4b and its getting power but I can't get any kind of display out of it over the MIPI cable. I can't find any kind of documentation for how to do this, just vague discussions of overlays - I did try the rock pi raspberry pi display overlay and it doesn't work. Thanks.

Hi, I'm using a RockPi 4 B as a wifi access point. Everything is working fine with good performances until the Wifi stop working, usually after 3-4 days. When that happens, dmesg is flooded with these logs : [221057.075187] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_proto_bcdc_query_dcmd: brcmf_proto_bcdc_msg failed w/status -110 [221057.075202] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_cfg80211_get_station: GET STA INFO failed, -110 [221124.657840] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_proto_bcdc_query_dcmd: brcmf_proto_bcdc_msg failed w/status -110 [221127.217786] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_proto_bcdc_query_dcmd: brcmf_proto_bcdc_msg failed w/status -110 [221127.217806] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_cfg80211_get_station: GET STA INFO failed, -110 Reloading `brcmfmac` module do not fix the issue, only a reboot.

Hi there, I have a rockpi 4b running armbian bionic desktop legacy kernel 4.4y on a 128 GB emmc module, I’d like to use this machine as a server. I was just tinkering around with Plex, .bashrc and crontab while all of a sudden the keyboard mapping over RDP changed (e.g. > became ;, ~ became @ etc) (indication of the problem?). I tried to fix this by changing the system keyboard layout and running dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration, this all didnt work. I decided to reboot the machine to see if that would work. After the reboot I could not connect to either RDP or SSH so I decided to connect the machine to a HDMI monitor. This resulted in the following output: Can anyone help me understand what I am seeing here and how this could have happened ? Is this even Ubuntu ? Or is this GRUB ? Where in the boot process is this ? My guess is that the whole EMMC is disconnected but this seems very weird since I did not touch the board in any way. (I have no SD installed) I’m now thinking of solving this problem by attaching the emmc to a sd reader and backing up the etc,home,opt,root,srv,usr and var folder, reflashing the image and putting the folders back. This is however a very destructive process so I hope something less destructive is possible. I also even don’t know if this is going to work since I have no idea how this problem was caused. Can anyone help me please ? Thanx in advance! Thank you in advance

Hello, I think this is my first post here. I am trying to operate an Epson L4150 on-board Rock pi4 b multifunction printer. I was successful in running the printer. But the scanner is another story. Xsane does not recognize it. I have been trying to install the driver which is downloaded from the Epson page, but it is for armhf. I tried a dpkg --add-architecture armhf, then update, but when I try to run install.sh from the Epson driver, it throws error: E: Failed to locate package libboost-filesystem1.58.0 Somebody could help me? Thank you

I recently plugged in a 4TB Seagate Expansion hard drive and it worked fine. After rebooting the Rockpi4B via 'sudo reboot' the drive is not recognised - dmesg shows: [ 3.877060] sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] Unit Not Ready [ 3.877082] sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] Sense Key : 0x4 [current] [ 3.877094] sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] ASC=0x44 <<vendor>>ASCQ=0x81 Any ideas?

Hello, I have an ARMBIAN image 08.21.6 kernel 5.10.16 it works very well on rockpi 4B + rev 1.6 I tested the last Kernel but without more success. when we fix the ip address and we up (several times) the eth0 network this one puts to work at a time. Do you have an idea ? Regards.
