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

Hi, I've come from Joshua's 24.04 Server build. I was concerned that the support was dropping off as he's having a well deserved break. I've installed the latest Server build from here. https://dl.armbian.com/orangepi5-plus/Noble_current_server-kisak Works fine, have moved it to EMMC and removed the SD card. I use a USB power meter to see how much juice it uses. I noticed this build uses about 20 to 25% more when idle or under load compared to Josh's 6.1 kernel build. I am suspecting 6.12 has enabled more hardware in the OPi5+ and this is the reason. Is there a way to disable some of the HW to lower the idle power usage? On average it uses 5w on idle. Thanks. Loving the Armbian build.

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

I connected a 49" super wide curved monitor (philips 49b2u5900) to opi5+ through HDMI. I would expect to have the possibility to choose between resolutions of 5120x1440 or 3840x1080. Unfortunately I only get 16:9 resolutions. v24.8.4 for Orange Pi 5 Plus running Armbian Linux 6.1.75-vendor-rk35xx Packages: Ubuntu stable (noble) david@orangepi5-plus:~$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 16 x 16, current 3840 x 2160, maximum 32767 x 32767 HDMI-1 connected 3840x2160+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1190mm x 340mm 3840x2160 59.98*+ 2048x1536 59.95 1920x1440 59.97 How can I configure the proper resolution?

I have done a flat install of "Armbian 24.11.2 Bookworm Minimal" but for some reason it keeps failing to update. I get the following output and I can ping the IP address but when I try to follow the http address it show s a 404 error in the browser. Is there something I am missing as I have tried to fix it but not sure if its just me or everyone is getting this as the file is missing to download. root@orangepi5-plus:~# apt update Hit:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm InRelease Hit:2 http://security.debian.org bookworm-security InRelease Hit:3 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates InRelease Hit:4 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports InRelease Get:5 https://github.armbian.com/configng stable InRelease [3,264 B] Hit:6 http://armbian.tnahosting.net/apt bookworm InRelease Fetched 3,264 B in 1s (2,240 B/s) Reading package lists...

I followed the provided instructions to install Arbmbian on Orange Pi 5 Plus 16GB, so I downloaded the official Ubuntu image from the Orange Pi website, and when it booted, it sudo apt update sudo apt install mtd-utils sudo flash_eraseall /dev/mtd0 The flash operation was finished successfully. Then I turned off, loaded Armbian Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble) (Desktop images with Armbian Linux v6.12) on SD and started the machine. I have a monitor connected to the machine, but there is no output. My router doesn't show any new network device, so I suppose that Armbian doesn't load. It's exactly the same situation when I tried to install Armbian without /dev/mtd0 erasing. How to proceed and install Armbian? Update: Armbian has been installed successfully. After cleaning bootloader as descried above, I tried to install Joshua Riek's distribution and it loaded. Then I returned back to Armbian downloads and tried Armbian 24.11.2 Noble Gnome with kernel 6.1.75 (the one highlighted) and it worked! And I migrated everything to eMMC by using armbian-config - that was easy. So to summarize - I'm not sure that /dev/mtd0 cleanup was really required, but I did it. The problem was with the distribution I tried to run. Armbian Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble) (Desktop images with Armbian Linux v6.12) was the wrong choice.

I have Orange Pi 5 Plus that I plan to install in a remote location. To boot Orange Pi, I need to press the physical Power On button. How I can setup the machine to boot automatically once the power is supplied? There is nobody on the remote side to press this button. Or maybe there are other options to boot remotely like WakeOnLAN? Where it can be configured? In orangepi-config?

Hello I have a 1440p (QHD, 2560x1440) monitor, but whatever I tried it was always giving me 1080p (1920x1080). I'm using Armbian 24.8.1 Noble Gnome and the resolution settings are in the Displays system panel. I noticed people who had similar problems on the Rock5b, the suggested solution did not work, but hinted to dtb files. After examining the /boot/dts tree of Armbian I found 3 files: /boot/dtb/rockchip/overlay/orangepi-5-plus-hdmi2-8k.dtbo /boot/dtb/rockchip/overlay/rock-5b-hdmi1-8k.dtbo and /boot/dtb/rockchip/overlay/rock-5b-hdmi2-8k.dtbo You can decompile the object file with the dtc command from the device-tree-compiler package: dtc -O dts /boot/dtb/rockchip/overlay/rock-5b-hdmi1-8k.dtbo This is mentioned: Description = "Enable 8K output on HDMI1.\n8K cannot be enabled on HDMI1 and HDMI2 at the same time."; So, I added the overlay in the /boot/armbianEnv.txt file, just add user_overlays=rock-5b-hdmi1-8k and the following commands: sudo mkdir /boot/overlay-user sudo cp /boot/dtb/rockchip/overlay/rock-5b-hdmi1-8k.dtbo /boot/overlay-user Connect your cable to HDMI1, reboot and set the 2560x1440 resolution in the Display setting. QHD is working perfectly! So, the dtc says 8k is possible too, but you will need an 8k monitor of course. I guess 4k will be working also. The orangepi-5-plus-hdmi2-8k.dtbo did not work for me.

Hi I got ugly fonts in chromium. It seems the package fonts-liberation was missing. I did not have the issue with the Uefi-x86 version. Kind regards Philippe

Hi Anyone else having problems with NVMe disks on the Orange Pi 5 Plus 16gb? I have a WD Black SN750 and use the original power supply, I have tried with Armbian and Ubuntu Rockchip and with both I have random failures at startup not recognizing the drive.

I have set up Armbian 24.8.4 bookworm on my 32GB Orange Pi 5 Plus. Most everything works as expected out of the box. The second HDMI port doesn't detect the second screen, and the screen displays No Signal. I have tested the cables and monitors to ensure they are functioning. I have also ensured I wasn't plugged into the HDMI input by accident. I was about ready to proclaim it a hardware issue, but on booting the "Official" Orange PiOS Arch image, the dual monitor support worked as expected. I checked the dtb file included with the Arch image, and it has many references to HDMI0 and HDMI1 devices, while the one used by default with the Armbian image only references HDMI0. I'm unsure if that's related, as I'm not entirely sure how those device tree mechanisms work. On a ham-fisted hunch, I tried just copying the dtb file from the Arch install to /boot/dtb/rockchip/ and pointing armbianEnv.txt at that, which resulted in a no-boot condition. Curious if there's any tips or tricks to getting the second monitor output to work with this device under Armbian. Attached are copies of the disassembled dtb files, in case they have any relevance. rk3588-orangepi-5-plus-arch.dts rk3588-orangepi-5-plus-armbian.dts

Hi, last night a set of updates was installed and I rebooted the Orange Pi 5+ this morning. After the reboot I've seem to have lost the connection to the Orange Pi 5+, it is normally connected without a screen so I access it through SSH and the Open Media Vault web GUI. I've tried to connect it to a screen and then it seems to boot up just fine. Looking around with the screen connected it seems like the network cards aren't detected. My Linux skills are very limited but "sudo lshw -class network" shows nothing. One detail is that my router seems to detect it when it's connected and gives it the normal IP address that I've set in the 192.168.0.x range. But when I list network devices logged in to Linux all interfaces seems to have private addresses starting with 172. See the attached image for the output from "ip addr show". I’m running Armbian Debian Bookworm. These were the updates that were installed: armbian-config 24.8.4 armbian-firmware 24.8.4 armbian-zsh 24.8.4 linux-dtb-vendor-rk35xx 24.8.4 linux-image-vendor-rk35xx 24.8.4

I want to directly create an armbian root file system called rootfs.img and then adapt it to the RK kernel configuration to run compilation scripts/ Build.sh updateimg directly generates image burning I don't know if this method is feasible

Folks, I've got an Orange pi 5 plus up and running using Armbian, I've used the minimal install and although it's been plain sailing for the main part, no matter what I do I can't work out how to give it a static IP address (dynamic works fine). I've spent an hour trying: armbian-config, - Network | IP | Static and setting it to what I want - it ignores it and when I go back in it's gone back to 127.0.0.1 This page: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Networking/ Creates the yaml file with my interface abd required address as here: GNU nano 7.2 /etc/netplan/20-static-ip.yaml network: version: 2 renderer: networkd ethernets: enP4p65s0: # Change this to your ethernet interface addresses: - 192.168.5.2/24 routes: - to: default via: 192.168.5.1 nameservers: addresses: - 9.9.9.9 - 1.1.1.1 Following this to get rid of the issues with netplan test Looked high and wide for other tips but can't see anything that would help me. I'm used to Red Hat distros where you just go in and edit an existing config file, but that doesn't seem to be the case with Debian variants? Anyone able to help me please? Been using Linux for twenty-five years so am no noob, never had a problem like this before setting a fixed IP address! Thanks

Hi all , Just installed last supported version: Armbian 24.8.1 Noble Gnome, MESA / VPU, Kernel: 6.1.75, Size: 1.5 GB, Release date: Aug 26, 2024 I have 2 dell monitors : u2515h ultrasharp 1440p, and more modern P3424WE with 3440x1440 max resolution. With both - armbian max resolution in display settings is always 1920x1080. My previous experience here was with radxa zero D1 and 1440p was working here smoothly out of box on different armbian images. I also tried Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy)KDE NeonMESA / VPU https://dl.armbian.com/orangepi5-plus/Jammy_current_kde-neon-kisak with same results: no resolution higher then 1080p Rdp session to that installations normally propose 2560 and 3440x1440 resolutions available and usable. So I suppose it is some config but not driver/hardware issue. Rdp installed via: sudo apt install xrdp xorgxrd sudo systemctl enable xrdp The WEB is exploding with tons of guides with dozens of approaches, of course first tried not working... Can somebody save me from that many hours try and fail circus and guide me on short way to troubleshoot resolution on that new armbian images?

Hi everyone, I just received an "orange pi 5 plus" and I wanted to use the hdmi-input feature in it. I installed armbian and added the hdmirx overlay, and now I can use ffmpeg or gstreamer to stream video input. Good. Alas, I see no alsa hdmi input card. I tried to search for some settings but didn't find any... The only information I found on this feature are here https://github.com/armbian/linux-rockchip/blob/rk-6.1-rkr3/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3588-orangepi-5-plus.dts do you have any pointer to give me on how to enable this feature? (I know how to compile stuff, using Linux since 1998 ) thanks for any help / pointer you can give me ❤️ BS.

Rk3588 boards now share the same linuxfamily as rk3568 and rk3566 boards. It means rockchip-rk3588 kernel won't get update longer. Here is some steps for migration: sudo sed -i 's/LINUXFAMILY=rockchip-rk3588/LINUXFAMILY=rk35xx/g' /etc/armbian-release sudo apt update sudo apt install linux-image-legacy-rk35xx linux-dtb-legacy-rk35xx linux-headers-legacy-rk35xx sudo apt remove linux-image-legacy-rockchip-rk3588 linux-dtb-legacy-rockchip-rk3588 linux-headers-legacy-rockchip-rk3588 NOTE: The steps are currently for beta branch only. Don't try on stable branch.

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 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

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 ?
