I would like to drive a 240x180 led strip panel with SPI. I have zero experience with SPI and LEDs. I have chosen a WS2813 IC (four wires) for the LED. The seller has a spi controller, and it drives a max of 2048 LEDs. Does anyone have any experience driving as much as 2048 LEDs in SPI? Please, share your experience and/or projects with LED and SPI in this post. The question is how many LEDs i can drive with SPI and how to calculate it.

Spotted this "Orange pi robot" board inside a commercial R2 D2 DIY kit. Start around 20:00 The guy made a pervious video here showing what the toy does:

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

no files can be sent or gotten as root. Neither via ftp, sftp, nor shell without prepararing any other machne without recompiling programs. And midnightcommander doesn`t work with IPv6.

Where did the the fracking FAQ for dummies go? Am I crazy (please don't answer that), or was there not a little section on stuff like "How do I add a xyz thing-a-jig" somewhere? OK, I'm old, forgetful, and I need new glasses, but I just can't find it. It was there the other day, I'm sure of it! Oh! Oh My! I hit the plus button way too many times, this window is really huge, and now I can't read what I wrote. Damn it, Now I forgot what I was posting about.... Oh well... Happy Holidays, Joe

My Samsung EVO 16 Gb SD card is dead. But in place of reporting errors, becoming inaccessible or anything, it just refuse to update content without reporting error. So I was able to flash an install image for my nanopi, verify that it contained a fs with an armbian distribution (because it was the previous content) and try to boot/install. I lost a huge amount of time to understand what was wrong : I tried to boot and FA neo board with a BPIm2+ uboot and kernel. I don't even know is the board has survived ...

Ubuntu LTS 20.04 will probably have XFCE 4.14, which is based on GTK3. I have XFce 4.14 installed on an x86 Arch Linux machine. Unfortunately, the GUI is heavy. Requires memory resources and a good graphics card. I have a question. In connection with the upcoming 20.04 release, would it not be better to Armbian switch to LXQT as the basic GIU. It is lighter and faster. thanks

Hi all . Before i buy Orange Pi 3 ( 64-bit 1.8GHZ ARM Cortex™-A53 , 2GB RAM ) , i want to know: Is it posible to use this PC + Armbian as desktop PC ? I want to use 1. Firefox Browser 2. YouTube 720p60 or FullHD ( Desktop version ) 3. Having ability to watch something with videoplayer. Videoplayer need to have support of large variants of codecs. 4. Listen music.

Hi, a few months ago I have build a USB to UART "multiplexer" device, to monitor my multiple Orange Pi PC's using only one USB connection to a separate Host [1]. You can connect up to 8 hosts to the device simultaneous. And you can switch between the different inputs. Only one USB connection is needed to your host you want to use as master. A commandline tool is available to control the device. Its also possible to send data through the device to the connected hosts. It works like a normal USB to serial adapter. It is not possible to read the incoming data from all connected hosts simultaneous. I am use it to log the boot process of my cluster nodes [2]…

Hi everyone, I am a LINUX beginner. and I have a NanoPi M4V2, and want to build a mini NAS with OpenMediaVault 5 under Armbian (OMV5 can only run in Armbiam/Debian, not available in Ubuntu) The M4V2 has a SATA hat, and it can support up to 4 hard drives (2.5 inches size), so the SATA hat is powered separately, and I guess this is why it always gets overheat This is what it looks like. There is a 12V fan interface (2pin) on this SATA hat, just right biside the power button. And I found that there are already some solution in the forum of armbian.com, all kinds of scripts, some can drive the Fan according to the CPU's temperature, or even …

I did something wrong,that is why both of my SD cards are not good. Is a possibility to fix them? Another important question: Exist a SD card with installed Armbian, especial for people with less technical knowledge_they can insert the Sd card,and it works_!

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.

Please choose the best reason for selecting Armbian and using an ARM SBC not manufactured by the Raspberry Pi Foundation

I stopped tinkering for a while but https://magicmirror.builders/ perked my interest and been grinning at such a simple project and generally think its really great. I think they have made some odd options as the server and electron browser have been lumped together which is a really strange choice for absolutely no advantage. The server does need restarts and would seem far more often than you would expect and the use of electron means armv7l only which is a shame for the 0/1 owners. You can install using chromium and you certainly don't need the load of a desktop?! Dunno been wondering. I wanted to use a zero as love that tiny footprint and price and there are…

Ok, since moving from lighttpd to apache I have managed to get everything configured and working happily on my little server (Odroid HC1) So, I'd like to back up the sata drive that contains the root file system and the user data. I'm looking for advice on the best way of doing this? It will be backed up initially to another USB external 2.5" drive, then perhaps just the user data to a cloud service (not sure yet). Also, I should probably back up the microSD card to right? Ideally, along with protecting my user data I am aiming to be able to get the server back up and running in the case that I do something wrong with a future update or install or conf…

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?

Hello guys, I hope, I picked the right section. I'm looking for a most suitable SBC for DVB-T2 decoding. Here in Germany is DVB-T dead, so the successor DVB-T2 is there. BUT, the codec here is H.265 and not H.264... So, my idea is to use an PCTV tripleStick 292e, which is supported by LinuxTV sind kernel version 3.16. This stick is able to decode H.264 in hardware. So, to decode H.265 I need a SoC which is supporting H.265 in hardware. The suitable SoC are i.e. Amlogic S905 (Odroid C2) and RK3266 (Asus Tinker). Which SBC would you take for it? I would like to use mainline kernel, if it's possible. Wha…

How to mirror only single distro, single platform on some device itself or local LAN? Lets say some device / network needs to be self sufficient.

Hi all. Since I wanted a 3D intro for my Youtube Channel I started working with Blender again. Now the intro is finished I've got time to try to make a 3D Armbian Logo. Spoiler I'll show some of the progress here for those who are interested. And if anybody else wants to do the same, go ahead. We can then compare the results. I've only just begun. But I needed a break so I started writing this. Here's how it begins... create a side view ...  Then put those pictures in Blender, add a cube, position it right on both pictures, and start modeling.... All done with the NanoPi M4 on Armbian Bionic. …

I'd really like to build a relationship with Armbian and Linaro... even a small one. Although most of the SBC manufactures we support aren't a member of Linaro... Armbian is a huge win for Arm as a whole, and impacts influencers who can choose to use ARM products in enterprise settings etc.

Wow! I read already on other sites that this armbian community has some weird views about what's allowed and what information will be depublished or simply that they are 'famous' for censorship. I actually run directly in it as my thread was directly deleted and just later on - after complaints - released with a deleted link. But why then get's my thread just locked now after 15 replies and not directly deleted? Or why does have one person in this forum the right to tell what's interesting for the community or not? Funny (or sad?) enough that even in the first link in my the thread you can read about the armbian moderators …

Hi, I have two Opi1 that are taking dust, here in italy we are under quaratine, and I want to do something stupid, like: setup an old OPi1 to be useful.

Now, I think I will never find an OS perfect for me so I was…

Hello. I've been playing with several low-cost SBCs for a couple of weeks now and I'm totally hooked on these incredible little things. Most of my boards are Orange Pi's simply because of the low cost (but I do have ODROID XU4 and a couple RPis too). Somehow one of my favorites seem to be the little OPi Zero (H2+), I'm using it as a "shell account" for if and when I need access to linux command line (most of my "big machines" are Win-based). However the Zero's POE implementation is... kinda non-existant really. You can read more about it elsewhere, let's just say it isn't usable without additional hardware. For my purposes, the OPiZero H2+ is powe…

Unix/MacOS tools to write images to SD cards: the usual dd dc3dd & dcfldd are improved forks of dd dcfldd has also a nice "on the fly" hashing mechanism (so to avoid complex md5 or sha*) but it has many options so it is a bit complicated to use (see). I am often using dc3dd on Debian like systems because you can see realtime the % of the processing and you may leave dc3dd to manage buffering & doing the hashing on the fly: sudo apt-get install dc3dd sudo dc3dd if=Image.bin of=/dev/sdX sudo dc3dd verb=on hash=md5 if=Image.bin of=/dev/sdX hof=sdX_output.md5 Prior to dc3dd, I was using "pv" (but "pv" has some delayed display because it is linked to the pip…

Hey, just wondering if this is a common issue, I've put a fresh copy of Armbian 5.20 (legacy kernel) on my new Evo Plus 64GB and updated it to 5.23 on my Orange Pi PC, but it seems I'm getting only 742KB/s 4k random write speeds (I thought it'd be around 2MB/s) and 5 to 10MB/s sequential write speed. Is this normal, and if so is there a better card to buy that'll give me more Random IO & saturate the write speeds of the bus on the Opi PC? The results from testing /dev/mmcblk0p1 (ext4): Data OK: 55.34 GB (116061392 sectors) Data LOST: 0.00 Byte (0 sectors) Average writing speed: 10.05 MB/s Average reading speed: 20.35 MB/s …

I've been travelling a lot lately for work (IT conferences). I don't brag. Don't get me wrong, I like meeting new people, sharing about technology, but the "travel" part of this travels is the worst for me. And having to use the bad hotel wifi without any protection is not my cup of tea... Working with my phone's 4G tethering is cool, but I feel "naked" anyway... And it does not solve my other devices connection problem. I was almost ready the other day to get a 4G/Wifi travel router to solve it, but as I tend to use SBCs for just about everything, I was wondering if I could make one my travel router, giving me WIFI through a VPN on top of Armbian. It would use free w…

Hey all! Just signed up. I had been thinking of converting an older T.V. box and was hoping I could do it with Debian. Debian has been my preferred OS for some time now. I have never dealt with these boxes or arm for that matter. It looks like it may be possible to install armbian on this box and I started reading some of the documentation. What I would like to ask before I go down the rabbit hole is, based only on the specs below, if it looks possible? Would it be a good candidate for armbian or would there be too much non-cpu bits that surely won't work. If you folks thinks it's a capable box then I will put on my boots and get into it. Just an honest opinion. Also…

Hey all I recently purchased this board and tried both raspbian and Armbian. After using both I have an amazing appreciation for this os. I’m currently running it with the default desktop, I think the only downfall issue I’ve found is the lack of realvnc.

Hey everyone, I am a tech lover with a passion for single board computers & opensource projects. I want to exploring the capabilities of Armbian and want to share insights on optimizing performance for various applications.

I am grateful. 😊

I am new to single board computers and have previously used Microsoft Windows computers or Android TV dongle/box. I do find it a bit odd that everyone seems to be working on their own versions of operating systems. It would be a bit like Intel coding their own Windows and AMD coding their own version of windows too. Now while people have different aims and software needs it is I think a shame all the different programmers and groups cannot come together more on software. You have the various Linuxs Then all the soc variations. Now Armbian seems a step in the right direction and you have various Socs and SBC computers, it is just a pity Xapple, Lem…

Hello there, I have been doing research in regards to finding software or a script that has the ability to monitor the microphone noise and compare it to a wav file I have previously recorded. I've found a technique where someone uses SOX and identifies the maximum amplitude of the noise using a ruby script. It sounds like it should work but I'm worried about false positives. I'm curious if there is something out there that compares the microphones sound spectrograph with the wav file in real time? My end goal is to be able to monitor my basements sump pump usage. When the pump runs, the PI listens then, hits a URL using curl which then insert a…

Greetings everyone, A couple years ago, I did my research and followed the recommendation here and on linux-sunxi to purchase a Cubietruck and have had excellent results. I use my small low power GNU/Linux sever for all manner of things including self hosted "cloud" (contact, calendar, file synchronization), XMPP messaging server, media server, etc... It has been such a success in fact that we are putting more and more of our valuable personal files on there like pictures, etc. and that has me thinking more and more about reliability, backup, etc...

i have an orange pi 2 board, but the questions could be applied to any, i think so questions: 1.

Hi, I have some Siemens s7-1200 plc 's at a remote site and I need a client application to read (only) from the plc registers (Mostly DB200) and tiger an alarm that will send an email. For the moment I use an ewon router for remote communication and also read from the registers, tiger alarms and send emails. I know that Snap7 is working on ARM (e.g. cubietruck) with Siemens s7-1200 plc 's, so If someone is able write an application (at a logical cost) i would be interested to pay for it. I prefer the application to be compatible with amrbian on olinuxino. Set up of armbian with watchdog and smtp server would be also appreciated.

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

Hi Forum, can I completely backup and restore Armbian boot/root/data partitions with tar (or something similar) and dates, rights, everything is saved and restored and the system boots? I've used Clonezilla up to now, to backup the sd-cards but some say is not needed and runs only on pcs. I would like to backup the sd-cards of one pi with one other.

Hello ... I'm seeking for any device(s) with RTL8189FTV and RTL8211E chips. It's does not matter "what it is" ... (old unneeded, broken one, etc.- or any kind of trash) I have one damaged OPI Zero Plus and I can back it into the life ... now actually work and boot, but ETH and WIFI chips are burned. I'm in Slovakia .... Thanks

Hello, its posible to make ArmBian for Jetson TK1 ex. based on tool https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib ? Im use Armbian on Cubieboard and Orange Pi PC. Its great distro ! I have also Jetson TK1, but NVIDIA dosnt support it well. I want use on Jetson TK1 the almost newest kernel ( https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/NVIDIA/Jetson-TK1). Regards Pawel

Today's project is trying to get my game emulator to run on the NanoPi NEO Core board. Lots of exposed I/O, but I'm getting random hangs and some odd behavior with the latest Armbian. In the photo is a ILI9342 (landscape version) 2.3" display and some ugly protoboards I created to allow reliable wiring + sockets for the Core board. I just updated my SPI_LCD project to include support for both the ILI9342 and the Core board's strange header: https://github.com/bitbank2/SPI_LCD I had to wire the USB-A socket to the header because the OTG port is not properly enabled (in the available Armbian build). If I spent some time messing with it, there's probably a bunch …

Hello Armbian Forum! I hope you are all well. It's been more than 5 years since I last visited here, a lot of things has changed in my life since then. I saw my posts complaining about apt speed, that I could get 200kbps speed, now I am building +200gbps infrastructures for tens of thousands of servers. I felt a little bit of nostalgia visiting this forum because of that. And here I am, just I wanted to say hi! I hope you all also had a great time in the last 5 years just like me.

Any reason why even after being registered for a month and having validated my email, I still cannot see any posts in any of the topics on this entire forum? For some reason it was just a mobile phone issue.

Hi all! I'm new to Armbian so share my experience in this section. After several failures I managed to find an image that boots on my Banana Pi M2+ (Armbian_5.34.171121_Bananapim2plus_Debian_stretch_next_4.13.14_desktop). Everything worked nicely from the box, thanks all developers for a great job (but indeed, huge penguin looks a bit frightening on 55" TV). While setting up WiFi I found that the board doesn't "see" my AP (while all neighbours' were there). After playing with AP's settings i figured out that it's not visible if Control Channel is set to 13. When I disabled autoselection of channel 13 on the AP, the board was able to conn…

I don't know if this the right place to post this question. I am looking for a board that fits what I need. I have been looking and could not find everything I need in one board. I thought of asking here maybe someone can suggest something. So here are the specifications I am looking for: 1- CPU: has a crypto engine/ Security system. Almost all Allwinner Axx and Hx have crypto engines. 2- wireless connectivity Has all or most of the following: WiFi 2.4G, 5GHz and 3G/4G Module if possible. 3- Network connectivity: Has 1000 Mbps Ethernet. 4- USB : At least one A-type USB. Thanks

I like it to anounce some messages/informations via TTS ( T(text)T(o)(S)peech) . Normally I use espeak with a litte better sounding mbrola-voice (No. 6 german). But on Android you could buy - for cheap againt the PC-version - some better voices. Like my favourite german Voice "Julia" from Acapela. So I always wanted to use this voice for the informations. I did found a "server"-app for android which takes a UDP/HTTP-request to play a given string via the default TTS on the android-device (or a .MP3 stored in the memory of the android-device). Its named Home24-MediaPlayer - and can be found at (isnt anymore in the Google P…

I'm trying to setup a server based on an Odroid HC2. I chose Armbian Buster but I'm having problems because arm64 isn't as well-supported as 32-bit. I'm thinking about starting over with Focal but I wanted to double-check first... Is Focal 32-bit? Does it still have/use armbian-config and softy? (I assume so, but just in case those are exclusive to Buster, I thought I'd ask.) Thanks for the guidance!

Hi there, I'm, the maintainer of the Java library diozero and am looking to test the library on Armbian. I have quite a few devices but am looking to test with a TinkerBoard and Odroid C2. The library includes support for GPIO, I2C, SPI and serial. It includes very high performance memory mapped GPIO control (~10MHz) as well as sysfs and more recently GPIO character device. I've test the GPIO character device code on the Raspberry Pi and just looking at adding support for Armbian. I'm seeing gpioinfo doesn't include GPIO names which I see on the Raspberry Pi (everything is "unnamed") - is there anyway to fix that?

Hi, New to the forum and armbian but I have several different arm boards. This may have been hashed (rehashed) before but I have a couple of amlogic s912 boards; is there not an official download for them? I saw references to a few one-offs from different people. What is the general opinion of these boards and this chip? Thank you. Best, Chris

Hi all, got a hummingboard i4-pro installed with armbian debian vanilla. After apt-get update && apt-get upgrade system won't come up again. Anybody else? How to activate hdmi output for debugging?

Hello, I'm trying to use Armbian with a Nanopi NEO Core (Allwinner H3) mounted on its Mini Shield. I was able to use the CAN controller MCP2518FD through SPI1 and CS1. Now I need to use, always on the same SPI1, the demo board TPM SLB 9670 TPM2.0 that I have already verified on a Raspberry Pi. I found the tpm_tis_spi Kernel module by compiling Armbian Bionic 5.4.37, but I was unable to locate the DTB overlay needed to set-up the following pins: SPI1 MOSI SPI1 MISO SPI1 CLK SPI1 CS IRQ (from SLB9670's demo board to Nanopi NEO Core) RESET (from Nanopi NEO Core to SLB9670's demo board) Can anyone help me? Thanks i…

Hi, I was just in the armbian matrix channel asking about FLOSS SBCs, SBCs which can be booted / operated without blobs or with as few blobs as possible. I am not one of those purist Stallmanite zealots who refuse to touch anything which i deem imperfect in the freedom department. Instead I am just trying to be practical and figure out whats the best options for SBCs which respect users. SBCs whose security/integrity is verifiable and doesn't hinge on appeals to authority, like "just trust our secret sauce, it will be fine". I want to know about any projects from the past, things that are in progress, and hear experiences from folks who are interested in open s…

After boot up on the main tty ARMBIAN runs a script that prints out the current temp in centigrade. Where can I change this to use F instead of C? I did not see it in the armbian-config program.

Hello! I recently looked at new Belink tvbox with s905 - 2GB RAM - 16 GB I dont know is really is "like a odroid c2", this because i want to know if is possible in the future to have armbian support in. If no i never going to buy thats because i ask. Sorry for me english isnt good.

Hey Friends, I want to make a board allwinner R40 chipset. So i want to know let assume if made a board then to work its with HDMI, DDR, ROM, USB Ports etc then any extra what kind of drivers needed. ITS my First plz help to collect some information regarding this. Thanx buddies.

Hello guys! As I'm trying to build a retrogaming handheld device, I stumbled about a problem concerning the framerate of my LCD display(ili9341). I'm using SPI to communicate with it and I have a hard time getting it to run >25FPS. As a solution I found 2 github repositories which also deal with the given problem. The first thing I tried was BB-CP from bitbank (https://github.com/bitbank2/BB-CP). Everything works pretty well but I can't get it to work in 16bit mode and in 32bit mode I can't get over 18FPS. Whenever I switch the Framebuffer depth to 16bit my screen goes full ham and shows a.) complete wrong colors or b.) just random colored stripes, rectangles or dots…

Hi there can it be possible to use Armbian in a electronic embedded products since GPLV3 keep necessary opensourcing in the source code can you confirm that this is GPLV3 which rules armbian and 'tivoisation' is not possible with armbian Best regards

Hi, I'm looking for a tiny board with eth and wireless. My first choice is Orange Pi Zero but I'm worried about thermal issue. Any cheap alternative?

Hi folks, this is my first thread here, I just recently came aboard since I found that Armbian is the better solution for my Odroi-HC4 therefore I won't insist on checking for info and solution on the Odroid Forum. I am not very satisfied with Hardkernel, they produce excellent board with very poor OS support, looks like such critical aspect is left on the shoulder of a couple of great dudes but is not same as having a community behind; also board as the RPI demonstrated that a great OS support is better than having the most powerful hardware, is the same lesson learned by Rock64 even though I won't user Manjaro not even under torture... 😜 …

Hello, Could anybody provide plans/recommendations about Armbian and Orange Pi CM4 board? Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I'm looking on how to get patched boot.img from this firmware: https://disk.yandex.ru/d/10ARWp8CEpWr_Q It is Z1 se android box with h313 chip and 2/16 gb ram What i tried is: magisk latest apk (unsupported) If anyone could help me,my telegram account is: @jasmin8111

I know is a hard-work, maybe due to the "avalanche" of new boards. But I find a little mess in the filter to select boards in the Donwload page based on the availability of OS images. For example Orange Pi One http://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-one/ doesn't have Mainline OS but it's appear in the filtered list. Thanks in advance.

Hi there, I'm going to run a full bitcoin node on ARM board so on the first sight requirements are: 1) it is in stock now 2) 2 Gb RAM 3) CPU performance and Stability under high load 4) USB 2.0 (or better) for an external storage 5) ethernet on board as for now my short list is 1) Odroid XU4 or HC1 (C1 was used for bitnodes as far as I know) 2) ASUS Tinker 3) Orange Pi Prime (?) 4) NanoPi K2 5) Rock64 (4Gb) I'm not sure about OPI Prime b/c I've found some reports on the forum about stability issues. Also it is sold out at the moment. I'm open for your suggestions and th…

So in armbian-config I can enable /dev/i2c-0 /dev/i2c-1 /dev/i2c-2 but there is only one hardware I2C onboard. Are the other two software driven? If so what pins do you use for SCL and SDA?

Dear all, I stumbled upon this piece of news some days ago: https://forum.banana-pi.org/t/banana-pi-with-rockchip-rk3588-development-kit-with-8g-ram-and-32g-emmc-flash/13123 https://www.tomshardware.com/news/raspberry-pi-alternative-banana-pi-golden-sodimm 8 cores + 8 GB of RAM: exactly what I'm looking for at the moment Opinions ? Feel free to move this thread elsewhere if it doesn't belong in off-topic. Best regards, Magic Sam

Hello, can anybody know how to disable wifi module in armbian?

I bought DS1307 RTC but it is 5V so it can't be connected to the Pi. I know it can be modified to use 3.3V by removing 2 resistors. This sensor is different than the adafruit kit so I am not sure which resistors to remove. It also has 2 sets of pins. What are the extra pins for and which should I use and which pins do I remove? Here is the image of the RTC: Here you can see the datasheet for the DS1307 RTC.

Hi there, I was wondering how to get the audio running on the NanoPI NEO. It has line-out PINs and I read the H3 has SPDIF which should be the correct output. So I found this post: https://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/1891-spdif-output-on-nanopi-m1/and changed my fex . Anyway, that seems to be for the older kernel. What exactly do I need for version 4+? I am using Gentoo and the sources from https://github.com/megous/linux . The modules seem to be different and that's what I got right now: sun4i_i2s 6408 0 sun4i_codec 12657 0 sun4i_spdif 5087 0 snd_soc_core 132869 3 sun4i_codec,sun4i_i2s,sun4i_s…
