Hi, I was able to perform serial communication (uart1, uart2, uart3) on Orange Pi PC with the arbiam operating system. Now, I need to perform the same communication using another operating system (Debian or Ubuntu). I can not set the pins on uart. Anyone have any tips? thank you Att, Rafael

Hi Experts, I am using opi zero with Armbian Ubuntu Xenial image. Wireless is working fine with DHCP but I am facing following issue. If I run ifconfig wlan0 down followed by ifconfig wlan0 up, my network connectivity is not restored. Can anyone please let me know why it is happening?

I've liked the idea of having a little message board that was off the www and only accessible with wireless devices from the neighbors. It would be fine if the wireless were handled by a router and then use an adapter from Gigabit-to-USB port on an H3 device. I was wondering if anyone's tried that or has a favorite home cloud they'd recommend? There are various turnkey LAMP servers that could be installed to Armbian but it's a jungle out there. Messaging, message board, file sharing (or at least a repository), and maybe some kind of camera sharing. The camera sharing is because this is sometimes a dangerous neighborhood, and it'd be a big luxury if one neig…

I have an orange pi plus 2e running 24/7 as a file server, torrent box, plex server, pi-hole etc. It has been running fine for the first few months I have gotten it. Recently the usb HDD that is connected to it started disconnecting often during heavy loads ( downloading torrents) or sometimes randomly. I assumed that it was the usb power adapter fault ( I used a samsung 5a 2v power adapter ) and I replaced it with an identical one. However the problem still persist. Could it be the usb to barrel plug cable that is sold from aliexpress be at fault?

Is linux4.10 have cvbs in Orangepi Zero ?

I think Xunlong should be able to make a Orange Pi Zero with 512MB RAM and Gigabit ethernet for around $10. If they did, would you buy it? Do you think it would be a good product? The H2/H3/H5 is capable of gigabit ethernet, they just need an external ethernet chip that costs about $1. If you think about it. To go from an Orange Pi PC which has 1GB RAM @ $15, to an Orange Pi 2E with 2GB RAM $35, thats more than double the cost to double the RAM. But if you go from an Orange Pi Zero with 100Mbit ethernet at $9 to 1000Mbit ethernet at $10, that's only a 0.1X increase in cost for a 10X increase in performance. That means you get about 10.5x more value for mon…

Hello guys and girls, I'm new around here, looking for a board to power my network storage needs. Up until now I've been running a 2TB USB3 Seagate Expansion connected to a ASUS AC68U router and things were just fine until free space started to be a problem. Recently I "inherited" a 2TB USB 2 Seagate Expansion which I was thinking of putting to good use. Some other 2.5" SATA HDD's might come my way in the future so I was thinking of taking a stone of the router and building a small NAS. The main usage will be SMB served sequential operations involving video files (daily) and occasional backups. The current numbers stay around 25-30 MB/s writ…

I'm using an eBay packaged Debian 6 MySQL server that is on an OPi PC v1.2 (at least that's what's printed on the board). I am building a database for my app. Just discovered "Browse Network" on the File Manager app and was pleasetly surprised to see "WORKGROUP" appear, which is my (otherwise) Wintel home network. That network has an NAS, but dble-clicking the WG resulted in the attached popup "Failed to open "WORKGROUP". My Linux Bible suggested commands showmount, ftp, lftp and findsmb, none of which, apparently, are installed on my OPi Suggestions, please. Gene

Hi, professionals! I want to control an Armbian Linux system from my remote desktop. I installed the following servers one after another: vino, xrdp, vnc4. But the connection didn't work out. I cannot connect to the Armbian board from a remote Windows machine. If you don't mind, please share your successful experience. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I hope this is the right place to ask .I have worried a few days.Don't know whether it is appropriate to ask here. I am using the LM95071 in a simple application to measure ambient temperature of our product. The normal temperature range is approx 15degC through to 50degC. In general the part is working well, however intermittently I will read a value of -22degC. The spurious values occur around once every 100-200k reads. Typically a valid read should be 0x0eab, however I am occasionally getting spurious values of 0x0f4b3, 0x0f4a7, 0x0f4a3 or 0x0f4b7 I am reading the LM95071 every 4ms, which is much faster than its conversion time, however t…

Hi! I am using armbian nightly image on my Orange Pi PC 2. Need I every time unpack a new build to the memory card to keep system up to date, or there is enought to make upgrade with apt? I mean will I get all the same updates as on fresh images from the armbian's repository?

I saw an indegoo campaign for the LicheePi Zero and was wondering if it'll be a useful board or chock-full-o-problems. It only has 64mbram, but may be useful if used in specific iot projects. I don't think it's available for purchase yet, but it may be soon. I would be interested in getting the add-on wifi component and driving a 2.4" tft lcd with this board.

I am considering to buy a new board for personal cloud / webserver / NAS / torrent / DLNA etc. I can hear you thinking: yes and? So what? I narrowed my options down to an Odroid-XU4 or Tinker Board. Note that for the NAS functionality I already own a Gbit NAS enclosure. What would you buy and why? You have to choose!

Hi all, first of all thanks Igor for this great distro, but is for say that i succesfully passed from my old Armbian based on debian wheezy, to a new Armbian but based on devuan that is a fork of Debian without systemd, so if you don't like systemd now you have a choice.

Hi Experts, I am using OPI zero with Ubuntu Xenial. I started with Armbian but switched over to Ubuntu in order to use overlayfs. I am facing overheating problem ad yes I need to apply heat sink etc to solve the issue however since my requirement is not processor intensive (read 48 byte data over UART every 100-200ms and send it over WiFi), I am wondering if I can reduce CPU speed in software to avoid overheating. Any help/expert advice is appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

Hi everybody! I have the Armbian OS on OrangePi PC and I try to connect it to my WiFi router. For this purpose I have a Realtek USB RTL8188. I tried to connect it a couple of time, but it was unsuccessful. The "Connecting" pop-up window remains on the screen for minutes without connecting to the internet. Perhaps the Armbian does not have the right driver for this device? I have it, but I have no idea how to install it. Can someone help me, please?

Here at the Sunxi page that was linked off an Armbian page for Beelink X2 (Tips, Tricks, Caveats), down the page you see Running Linux on the X2" with a strike-through. Clicking on that goes to a message that says "Thanks for hacking !!! Go back to stone age!!!" I was wondering what that's all about? From my perspective it looks defaced but maybe it's dev humor.

During development I use snapshot images of sdcard and usb flash disk (nand-sata-install'ed). Unfortunately, the size of common flash/sdcards do start at 16GB nowadays. When I use Win32 Disk Imager, the backups are 2 * 16 GB. I can compress them on PC's disk but in and case writing them back to other sdcards/flash disks take ages. This is because it is a full image, although, say, something like 1 GB on each are used. If there a way to make bootable images which includes only the used parts of the sdcard/flash and be able to write them back?

Hi, I am currently facing lots of problem in Flashing ".raw" image with Etcher on windows 10.

I am thinking of connecting up to four 1080p IP cameras and recording to a SATA HDD. Is it better to use a faster H3 board but with slower USB/SATA bridge (say, Orange Pi Plus 2), or a slower A20 board with faster SATA (say, Banana Pi M1+)?

hello everyone would like to buy a sbc and i dont know which would be better, need some sugestions done some research, and the best seem to be the orange pi stuff, judging by stability, community, connectivity and price heard bad stuff about banana pi, which i was looking to get initially, and pine64 i plan to use it as a minipc/server im using linux on all my other pc's (x86) what board you think is better? it is important to me to have working drivers (video/wifi), not necessarely binary blobs, even opensource (i am very satisfied with the state of open source video drivers on x86) please share your experiences

Hi, What is difference between " Server " and " Desktop"?

I am using an ATX SMPS to power my Orange Pi Plus 2 via 5V supply. It worked fine for a couple of days without problem until yesterday. I happend to connect my audio amplifier TPA3116 which worked fine. After which when i was switching some cables i happend to short the 12V supply. The smps immediately shut itself down. Now i removed the short and disconnect the audio amplifier from 12V supply. After this when i started the orange pi there was no more any indication. I wanted to know that if the 12V short let to an inrush current spike at the 5V power section. If any one on this forum is aware of fuses present on the orange pi board.

A Beelink X2 by default boots into Android with KODI and can be interrupted to instead boot into Armbian off an SD card. It might be quite advantageous to use a microSD card to jump start Armbian installed on a USB stick plugged in. Cost is one reason: the TF cards cost what the Beelink does, and lots of us have lots of premium USB sticks at less than half the price. This way it could be easier to experiment and even have a personal USB stick for friends and family. When it comes to family media this would help everyone. Myself I'd try various home clouds and server schemes, and whatever wins, just run that from the TF slot later on. Plus if you …

Another pointless board. And cpu is positioned stupidly, so no heatsink either.

Hello! Use case is mostly about turning the kitchen TV into a kitchen PC, with main purpose displaying some market charts while I'm cooking (doing this on a phone is a pain in the eyes). Someone might try eventually to browse facebooks or download movies on that TV, but that's not important.

(I am running Ubuntu Core QT-Embedded on a nanoPi Neo using this network adapter)The first time I used the network adapter it worked perfectly. I saw the adapter when I typed ifconfig -a and it connected to my network when I typed the following commands: ifdown wlan0 ifup wlan0Then I unplugged the power supply and plugged it back in and now it doesn't work or show up on ifconfig -a. I tested it out on my Windows machine and the adapter works fine, and when I type lsusb I can see a network adapter so I'm very confused.How can I resolve this issue?

I hope you like the upgrade, which was done on urgent notice due to database failure and we started from this morning's backup. We apologise for some deleted posts and users, wrong settings and possible bugs. Since our previous forum was 5-6 years old, upgrade is tremendous but we will try to keep it similar on function level. There was a plan for redesign but this will be done once in the future. Enjoy!

So, what do you think of the new Raspbery Pi Zero Wireless? How will other competitors respond? An OrangePi Zero with Bluetooth would trounce this board, or a Nanopi could do, just gotta hit at or below the same price point.

Partition SD card (8GB) with rootfs in primary partition (4GB) and extended/logical partition (4GB). 2. Formatted logical partition (ext4) 3. Created Entry in fstab to mount logical partition automatically at boot. 4. Run overlay root as described in https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Advanced-Features/#how-to-freeze-your-filesystem Behaviour Observed: Partition is mounted at boot and files can be created bu…

I am looking for enclosures (cases) to mount Orange Pi boards in. I have the original enclosures, but they do not have any space for additional boards / wiring etc. And there is no way to mount the enclosure... I am wondering what other people use to mount the boards. If there are no enclosures available for OPi boards, maybe there are some available for other boards. I am not interested in Raspberry enclosures since I don't want to use RPis .

Hi guys . Im new on this, but I just install armbian on my orangePI litle and after wifi connect with my router the wifi icon disappear. how i canfix this . Thanks for any help.

Hi again, For a dedicated digital audio system (squeezebox) I would like to set up my Pine64 board with a preemptible kernel. I have been trying to use the procedure from https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ to build a patched 3.10.104 kernel using the RT patch from: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/3.10/ patch-3.10.104-rt117 patch set The patches are applied successfully by the script, but break a number of things so the kernel doesn't compile. A number of the problems are linked to ip tunnelling, which I simply removed from the config as my system won't need them, but now I'm hitting: MO…

With Debian LTS, updates at least every week. Signatures don't work Stupid, childish pictures for idiots,called captchas are not shown security (!) checks can't be used. No administors can be reached because of github. Never. neve again answer this, I can't be reached in this forum. I can be reached by gleam@i2pmail.org being much more secure than all zhe securitythingies in this forum. Well, I do have a question armbianspecific: When will gnuit be made working for armbian? Oh and another one: Sinfo doesn't show the frequency of the CPU - to be made working. Why can't emails be sent to operators to be inserted in forum? Bye.

hi all! my problem is simple! Is there a way for measuring or know, input impedance of Microphone input pin (MICIN1) ? in case C.H.I.P , but because it's prossesor is Allwinner A13(=R8), it must be same. thanks in advance

What if there was a pay per use ($5 to $10) build server for building a custom armbian image, including the ability to select: which distro which kernel which kernel modules a choice of server, desktop and server with qtEmbedded (for single UI devices with no windowing) a selection of common software packages (VLC, OpenCV) to be cross compiled the ability to upload an image and cross compile new software against it It could be a web based UI calling the armbian build script, with the best toolchain already installed, and dependencies set to be pulled i automatically (so hard to set up on a case to case basis). Just an idea I had, and it could be a nice new revenue…

I wonder how the community would react to an addition to the existing version of the images with XFCE DE , new version with Mate DE. Or other variants. The issue arose due to the fact that collecting different images and often get from users are requests for different options that vary from the norm in the community Armbian variant of DE (ICEWM KDE LXDE LXQT etc). I tried to add a test version with a Mate. Got to add the Assembly of images with alternative DE without prejudice to the basic variant (XFCE).

hi all Wanna know whats the best option for a NAS and torrentbox. I have a 200/200 connection, so something that can handle that, with lower consumption, and that can handle a lot torrent/connections Thanks.

Sorry, I just got information from the seller --- this box is a Rockchip RK3229, so please disregard my post. :/

I have done some things with the 3D printer and planned to design a box for the OPZ. Before to do this, I tried a search on thingiverse and found some boxes! So right now I am printing...

Hi Experts, We are using Armbian with Orange Pi zero. Image works fine. We do not have battery in our system and power goes off frequently in India. Sometime when Orange Pi zero is switched off and switched on again, its image gets corrupted and only way to recover is to reflash the card which will not be possible if we send product for field testing. When image is corrupted we see following logs 35152 bytes read in 501 ms (68.4 KiB/s) ## Loading init Ramdisk from Legacy Image at 43300000 ...

Hi Experts, I was using Armbian image (Armbian_5.24_Orangepizero_Debian_jessie_3.4.113.img) on orange pi zero without any issue for 3-4 weeks. I connected a speaker to LINEOUTL and suddenly my Armbian image became very unstable during boot it hangs at random places and some time crashes. May I know if Armbian Images on orange pi zero tested successfully (booting process) when LINEOUTL is connected to a speaker ?

Hi, I'm planning on buying Orange Pi Zero and before I do that, I want to make sure I won't regret anything after buying it. I'm planning on using the pi zero as a wireless router with its built-in wifi, but I read on some posts that the driver XR819 itself has some issues, like heating up the board or high ping. So please suggest me which distro I should use for the pi zero that has no wifi issues. Thank you.

I want to turn my Banana PI into a NAS. Since SSDs are still too small (or much too expensive for my purpose) I need to use a standard 3,5 HD and those will need that much power (on spin-on at least) that I can't use the Banana SATA to power up the HD, right? Can those people that use banana pi et al. as NAS tell me what kind of external power supply they use with what type of connector? If you can recommend low-power HDs I'd like to hear that too. Are there power supplys that can safely feed the Banana pi itself and the HD? Preferably without soldering the connectors?

In case anyone wants to use Netatalk with Armbian, I'd like to let you know how I succeeded. For a long time, I've wanted to run netatalk on a Linux box. Even though it always built, I could never connect/log in. Today I tried building it on Armbian (CubieBoard2 is the host), and it was very easy to get it to work. I basically followed the official HowTo. -But with some modification for the ./configure line. I got an error when using --without-tdb and --without-libevent, so I decided to remove --without-tdb and then do a sudo apt-get install libevent-dev. I also had problems with the spo…

Hi all, first post here. Im Ivan, its nice to meet. So i finally came to install Debian Jessie stable, and it's good to be back. My installation is brand new and i have not a wired connection avalaible, so ill have to make things works nowired. As the title say, my card is an Intel i217-V, which in the beginning was not recognized at all by the OS. That was normal and expected, because in the installation phase Debian told that i was missing firmware files named rtlwifi/rtl8821aefw.bin. After a few search i came to download from windows (im in a dual boot system) the following packages: firmware-iwlwifi_0.43_all.deb and firmware-realtek_0.43_all.deb. I also installed …

Hello, I wanted to "build" some kind of Libre Safebox and Libre Router (meaning as libre as possible, of course in this case). I searched around but I still didn't find anything really fully assembled (a part for the Project Turris router, but I was hoping in something more versatile, that isn't necessarily restricted to being a router), so I decide to, if possible, find/assemble a more custom solution by myself. It doesn't have to be anything particularly performing, just that it can handle 720p videos and resolutions smoothly enough, that it can be used to surf the internet even with several open tabs and maybe some basic office things. The most important thing is that…

"Eventually..."???? How about WiFi on OPi0 first, or is that too much? Plus would this eventual Uboot on SPI eliminate the need for SD cards? Why not urge Xunlong for eMMC as for other boards?

Title says it all- mine is an off site Syncthing server for a few Gbs of pictures and records.

Hi. Sorry if this is not the best place, I couldn't figure out where to put this. I wanted to download Cubieboard 2 image but all the links I get redirected to lead to 404 (all are linked to v5.24 images). I tried a few others, where Cubieboard (A10) has the same problem while Olimex Lime A10 images download fine. I didn't look at most other boards but I assume some other might be having the same problem.

I think I made a perfect device for people who have problems with SD cards on H3 Orange Pi or similar Allwinner based boards. Or for people who just hate the SD cards Why using a SD card if you can use your favorite USB flash drive instead with a small addon board that can be attached to the "RPi compatible" pin header?

Hi Experts, I am using Armbian on Orange Pi Zero and image is working fine and we can access armbian console withe the three pins next to ethernet port. However we see that there are Rx, Tx pin on 26 pin header compatible to Raspberry pi. When we connect the console to the GND/Rx/Tx on 26 pin header we do not get console so my understanding is that there is a dedicated serial port for console that can be accessed from GND/Rx/Tx next to ethernet port and Serial port on Tx/Rx pins on 26 pin header is different. We need extra serial port to connect our UART based peripheral. So I am wondering if I can use the Rx/Tx/GND on 26 pin header, if yes how do I use them …

Hi! Does HIFIBERRY DIGI + PRO support for armbian ?I want used this board with banana pi bpi-m1

hi all i had armbian build running with 'dev' kernel (4.9.0) and armbian 5.24 which worked PERFECT over a month. decided 2 days ago to build from scratch, armbian build system pulled all latest updates and i got 5.24 with kernel 4.9.3 (2 days ago) and 4.9.4 today. None of those would boot properly (ie. can not ping/access the board). I also tried downloading nightly build and that one is not working any more. Iknow these builds are not supported but since it worked very well i think something got broken either in kernel or uboot or in armbian so might be worth a look. tx in advance !

Background: I'm using Orange Pi Zero for data I/O. I'm using https://github.com/zhaolei/WiringOP to manage the GPIO stuff. So I've been writing programs in C/C++ using the simple nano editor via SSH to my Orange Pi Zero. I start by doing all code edit within Atom.io on my laptop/desktop computer. (I ALWAYS want a record of what I'm changing... ) I keep track of code changes via Git and the Atom content on my laptop/desktop. When it comes time to push code to the Orange Pi, I SSH login to the orange pi: Delete my old workingCode.c file (erasing big blocks of code within Nano is a pain in the neck) Create the file again via Nano. Copy paste the new c…

these boards are no longer available, but there are quite a lot of these boards around - they work really well and it would be nice to get an Armbian build for them. There is an image from Odroid for it, but with an outdated 3.14 kernel. There is a working 4.9 Kernel for those boards - I was asking them, if they could update there image with the 4.8 Kernel, but the answer was no - http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=16633&start=100 https://github.com/tobiasjakobi/linux-odroid-public/blob/odroid-4.9.y/README-ODROID.md https://github.com/tobiasjakobi/ http://linux-exynos.org/wiki/Hardkernel_ODROID-X2

Do you guys have any developer documentation? It seems like you could use help mainlining things, but it is hard to tell where to start

Just FYI: the first interesting Banana board since ages: BPi R16 based on Allwinner's A33 SoC (R16 is just a relabeled A33 with a different Allwinner business unit being responsible for). For R16 exists a horribly outdated 'SDK' made by Allwinner's BU5: https://github.com/tinalinux/linux-3.4 (relies on unpatched kernel 3.4.39 which might contain more security flaws than features in the meantime. Their tinalinux approach combines this with an outdated Android 4.4 and somehow also a smelly OpenWRT version for reasons unknown to me. Surprisingly they also rely on their own proprietary LiveSuit image format no one on this planet outside of Allwinner wants to use). …

Hi, Is there any plan fro Armbian to support Rockchip processors like RK3288 or RK3399? Any guide on how to port Armbian on them? These processors have official support on GPU (both openCL and openGL ES), HW video codec (like H264 encoding and decoding with gstream), and also open-sourced Kernel 4.4.x. And most important thing is they are willing to support opensource community and fix their bugs continuously. I've got a RK3288 proto board which was able to run Linux 4.4 + Debian with HW accelerated desktop and video playing, and it worked perfect. The only thing that troubled me is the Debian system that maintained by Rockchip is suck.…

IMHO, XR819 is killing the OPi0 golden goose...All else looks so perfect for the price ! Can't they just go back to RTL8189 in the next couple production batches? Will that make life easier? Ironic to hear that XR819 has its own ARM core- what good is the core? What is the prospect of Xunlong offering a eMMC 4-8GB version of OPi0? SD cards are expensive and unreliable, plus can add an SD card drive for more memory. And adding a power barrel to the $2 expansion board that is otherwise just what is needed, maybe make it $2.50? My take: OPi0 v2 512MB, say $12-15, with RTL8189, 4-8 GB eMMC + $2.50 expansion board adding power barrel + Armbian OS = market winn…

So I see lots of comments re how bad the A64 and H5 SBCs are. Is anyone having good luck with any ARMv8 system? I will note that I had decent stability using the Odroid C2 with Hardkernel's own images, which run 64-bit mode. But maybe something better has emerged?
