Armbian for Orange Pi 4.

Installation using a Prebuilt Image

Armbian provides several pre-built SD Card images ready to be flashed and used. See www.armbian.com/orange-pi-4

Installation using a Custom Image

Source: docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/

Using Vagrant

Source: docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Using-Vagrant/

Prerequisites

  1. Install git, vagrant, virtualbox
  2. Install virtualbox plugins: vagrant plugin install vagrant-disksize
  3. Clone the armbian build repository: git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/armbian/build
  4. Fetch the guest VM image: vagrant box add ubuntu/bionic64

Building

  1. Go to VM template directory: cd build/config/templates
  2. Start the VM: vagrant up
  3. Log into the VM: vagrant ssh
    1. cd armbian
    2. sudo ./compile.sh (see details below)
  4. Copying the resulting image from guest to host: vagrant plugin install vagrant-scp
  5. Stop the VM at the end (or after every finished build): vagrant halt

Cleanup

  1. To cleanup after you are done: vagrant destroy

Minimal Debian Bullseye server

./compile.sh BOARD=orangepi4 BRANCH=current RELEASE=bullseye BUILD_MINIMAL=yes BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes

Troubleshooting

cannot initialize curses

When using e.g. Termite terminal emulator without terminfo installed on the guest VM, you get this error: 

$ sudo ./configure
...
cannot initialize curses
[ error ] ERROR in function source [ main.sh:141 ]
[ error ] No option selected 
[ o.k. ] Process terminated

One solution is to set a known working TERM: 

$ TERM=xterm
$ sudo ./configure
