Hello all And firstly I would like to congratulate you and thank you for a cracking little distro. I recently purchased an OrangePi-One amid all the hype of the Pi-Zero to give the Opi a try out. after having tried the images available on the manufacturers site and learning there shortcomings I resolved to build my own image. I was pointed to your site by a member over at http://forum.doozan.com and I must say I am blown away by what you have achieved and distribute!!! You have saved me the pain of building my own OS by applying all the relevant patches. I will be testing your images out for my own needs and should I be able to make any contribution over and abov…

I have playing with compile.sh CREATE_PATCHES=yes There is a guide here https://zuckerbude.org/armbian-using-create-patches/ I also read this before https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_User-Configurations/#user-provided-patches So if someone is a profession developer and understands how to use diff and patch commands, then please understand that I am not, so please help but keep it as newbie as you can. So when I came across this CREATE_PATCHES option I though, ooh that's clever. I can make changes to u-boot or kernel source and it will create the patch files for me, and then I can put those patch files on my github fork of build, o…

Hi there, I'm currently working on cross compiling libva-v4l2-request to test the VPU on the Allwinner V3s. I cloned the master branch from Github and told autoreconf to cross compile, but however it keeps looking for the wrong libva and libdrm libraries. Also everything with arm-linux-gnueabi fails somehow. I hope someone can help me with that. user@workpad:~/workspace/allwinnerV3s/libva-v4l2-request$ ./autogen.sh --host=arm-linux-gnueabi --build=x86_64-linux-gnu autoreconf: Entering directory `.' autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf: running: aclocal autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing autoreconf: running: libtoolize --copy l…

I have been bouncing ideas around with@diozerofor using MMIO in a generic way to achieve fast GPIO for times when performance (bit banging, software based PWM, low CPU latency, etc) is required. This is my first attempt using a NanoPi Duo (H2+) which should work on any H2+ or H3 based SBC. What I've done is write a register mapper, so I can extract the register masks without having to do it by hand from the datasheet. Hand mask making is tedious and error prone. The generic part will come in by externalizing the register offsets and masks. This will happen after I build my next project using an Odroid C2. Also, since the Duo didn't have PUDs, so I could not map those. Tha…

So my whole goal with java-periphery was to create a decent cross platform userspace IO library which I believe I have achieved. One of my other goals was to create a high performance GPIO API that's also cross platform. If you look around there aren't any from what I can tell. Most high performance GPIO libraries support only a few boards. What I've done is use a well known interface (GPIO device) and some MMIO code to detect deltas and generate the required resisters and masks from an input file. This surely beats doing this by hand which I tried at first. The result is code that supports Allwinner H2+/H3 and H5/H6 by using just an input file. I'm going to look at other…

Hello Everyone! I faced with some problems with csi driver on mainline kernel. The study of the Internet did not give any result. Probably someone already done the same things, and could answer on couple of my questions? My configuration: custom board based on A20 SoC (quite similar with Olimex Lime2), armbian-buster-desktop 20.05.0, Linux Kernel 5.4.41, and OV5640 CSI camera connected to CSI0 in parallel 8bit mode. My questions are: 1) Can anyone confirm that the sun4i_csi module in Mainline kernel works (with any CSI camera)? 2) Does the sun4i_csi module work with CSI1 port too? 3) If someone already run OV5640 via CSI on A20 SoC, what is the maximum fps can…

Hi, I own a cubitruck since years and since month armbian is installed on it. Now I have just ordered a cubieboard 5. Will armbian also working on thso device ?? AllWinner SOC H8，ARM® CortexTM-A7 Octa-Core，PowerVR SGX544 GPU bei bis zu 700 MHz (I know, that there was the same question, but it was two years ago and I hope there armian will support now)

Since i got my cubietruck i always wanted a case for it, this is only some renderings from fusion360 but i hope to have this laser cut by the end of next week. will post the dxf files as soon as i verify measurements are good. Should fit a 2.5inch HDD clearance should be good for any HDD height and a 40mm fan to keep everything cool. https://plus.google.com/+VladConut/posts/83DE48BfaeV?pid=6253694765056043538&oid=107327773320252263907

Hello, I just bought a CubieTruck Plus and I'm looking for ARMBIAN release. What should I take? It must compile a new version? Thank you for your answers.

I have Cubietruck plus H8, downloaded Armbian_5.51_Cubietruckplus_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.17.4.img and wrote it to 32 Gb SD card. It booted normally. I wrote it under Windows and Paragon partition manager showed 2 partitions on the card - about 900 Mb or some looks like this and remained 32Gb-900Mb free space. But under booted Armbian there is only 1 partition for all capacity, mounted as root. I want to divide the one partition to root, home and for database files, for example 10 Gb for root, 5 Gb for home and 15Gb for database files. After I did it by Paragon partition manager, booting couldn' t make at all. That is the device is powered on sh…

Hello Guys, I would like to make a custom trusty image without xfce desktop. I do everything written into the Readme.md file. I used Ubuntu 14.04 amd64 virtual box, downloaded the lib and run compile.sh I choose orangepimini than legacy kernel. After the image is created i image it on the SD card. The system start up but when starting kernel comes it's reboots in a loop. Can anyone help? Thanks, Sp0T

For anyone stumbling accross CVE-2017-6074 and thinking about whether Armbian installations are affected or not: we're most probably not since CONFIG_IP_DCCP is enabled as module only on some kernels: root@armbian:/var/git/Armbian/lib/config/kernel # grep 'CONFIG_IP_DCCP=' * linux-cubox-default.config:CONFIG_IP_DCCP=m linux-cubox-dev.config:CONFIG_IP_DCCP=m linux-mvebu-default.config:CONFIG_IP_DCCP=m linux-mvebu-next.config:CONFIG_IP_DCCP=m linux-sun8i-dev.config:CONFIG_IP_DCCP=m linux-sunxi-dev.config:CONFIG_IP_DCCP=m linux-sunxi-next.config:CONFIG_IP_DCCP=m root@armbian:/var/git/Armbian/lib/config/kernel # Details about this local root exploit: http://seclists.org/os…

You can't read every interesting news blog, annotation etc. about stuff related to tech, linux whatever is in this field. Open a new thread for all those stuff you might share with others here ends that also nobody reads it cause it's spread though various threads. So why not share them all in one thread? Idea: Share a link to the article in this thread with a short teaser what the article is about and maybe some opinions why you like the article. It should not be 'post link only without any description what the article is about'. So, I'll start with the first one (not that recent, but I think it's still worth to read): http://kroah.com…

This one is interesting and informational to get a comprehension of the scale of a challenge our Armbian heroes are up to. https://gemmei.ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/debian-meetings/2018/DebConf18/2018-08-04/arm-ports-bof.webm This is one is about smaller devices but still relevant. https://gemmei.ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/debian-meetings/2018/DebConf18/2018-08-04/build-tools-for-applying-debian-to-embed.webm Previous years videos are also available: https://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/debian-meetings/

I just pay attention. XFCE4 and third software eg chromium in debian 9 has more errors than in ubuntu 18.04. These are errors unrelated to the armbian. Quite simply, the debian developers probably do not test their packages as accurately as ubuntu. These are the dissapearing clocks XFCE panel, the lack of the chromium minimization button, the synaptic correction not working in the search option, and so on. They do not matter to you, but they are important when used by ordinary users in production. I see that you have a lot of images doing Debian 9. If you can already consider doing images ubuntu 18.04. Ubuntu is also faster than debian 9, really feel the difference.

Hello!!! I am sorry if I am lost, but I cannot find a way to delete my account in this forum. Can any kind soul direct me to the right place. Thanks...

Helo, I would like to delete my account here, but I didn't find any links / buttons / whatever either in profile nor in account settings. How can I do this? Thanks & kind regards.

Relatively random topic, however who here has one/uses one? I just picked up a Sain Smart Genmitsu Pro, 3018 size. I actually got it working with my NanoPi K2 first, because why not? And bCNC seems like quite a nice program, I assume when I move this to my shop it will be sporting a 7" touchscreen and a stable board.

Well, it's gotten to the point where I'm dedicating a PC to this, using the VM is only so useful. Any recommendations on tools (Git gui's, specific code editors, etc?) A lot of this stuff I already have ideas/"go-to"s, but I'd like some new ideas/recommendations. And I think it would help out others to know.

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

I'd like to run a small network server, nodejs, PHP. size is NOT important never turned off => power consumption is somewhat important at least 80 GB of storage, needs SSD support (?), if so, would hope it can boot from SSD 100 Mbps is ok would prefer a score of at least 1000 on Passmark Thank you for any suggestions

Hi, I am looking for a device, which has the following hardware: - 2x wifi adapter - 2x ethernet adapter - CSI connector for camera - 2x USB port or 1x USB and 1x USB-C port I know it would be very hard to find such a device, but an option would be to use one USB port and WiFi dongle instead second build-in WiFi and another USB to connect ethernet dogle into it. And for USB-C I can use use an USB-C-to-USB adapter... So at least I would like to find a device with: - 1x wifi adapter - 1x ethernet adapter - CSI connector for camera - 2x or 3x USB port Any ideas?

Hello ! I’ve been trying for the past few days to make the Banana Pi M3 work with hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix LED Library. But it doesn’t.

Folks, has anyone tried using one of those 5V DIN rail-mounted PSUs (eg Mean Well HDR-XX series) for powering the boards and HDDs? My "server" stack has grown to 10+ boards (many thanks to this forum!) and I am thinking of getting a couple of powerful industry-grade 5V units, but not sure if they provide computer-grade output, especially 12V for HDDs. Any thoughts?

Someone sent a week ago a couple of 2.8" TFT Display ili9341 and asked me to wire it to an H5 and make it work. I had some experience with the ST7789S with Nanopi NEO plus2 and that worked out of the box so i decided to use Nanopi NEO2 as a test bed and used the same wiring scheme. I have managed to wire it and although the FB is created and no error at all but the display is blank (black with no backlight enabled). The frame buffer is filled with information but not displayed. here is the wiring (NEO2): NanoPi Display 19 SPI_MOSI 21 SPI_MISO 23 SPI_CLK 22 LCD_D/C 24 LCD_CS 7 LCD_RESET 11 LED_EN GND VCC (3v3) Kernel 4.…

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.

Hi, I've just got my fantastic XU4, and worked out that Armbian is amazing on it, thanks to everyone that put all this work in it's amazing So powerful is this little bad boy that I've started researching replacing my Windows Desktop but I need two 1440p monitors because of my eye problems. Anyway I've been looking at using USB3 Displaylink adaptors for this, am I barking up the wrong tree here? It looks like on paper the "qgeem usb3 "M7VC01" on Armbian" should do the trick, does anyone have two of these working? or even one? Cheers TIA Rich

Purpose: Discuss displays that at least someone has tested and/or use, particularly touchscreens/strange resolutions/sizes/alternative technologies (DSI, parallel TFT, SPI, etc) Goal: Have some kind of "This at least worked with this version at that time" resource. Over and over people post things like "I have a Waveshare <XX.YY.ZZ> and Armbian can't do what the vendor kernel that uses a crap kernel full of security holes and crusty drivers can". So, point them here and say: "By the power of Google, I beseech thee, search!" And I have some random stuff lying around.

The download page of armbian has a pretty good UI. I am interested to know how this page is generated, is there a php backend generating the directory listing? Or, is it a static html with bootstrap? link: https://dl.armbian.com/rockpi-e/

@w0ndersp00n - I moved this here, not to hijack the Mayan thread Building it, sounds a bit similar to here: https://github.com/armbian/autotests After cloning, Igor runs an initial part of the script. Once it configured itself (and you have adjusted the configuration file) you run the script again. A similar approach could be done for DMS Paperless I guess. I agree, Mayan has business like options. Do you want it for business or private use? Not sure what exactly you mean by web-upload, paperless offers: Currently, there are three options: the consumption directory, IMAP (email), and HTTP POST.

Hi, I am completely newbie here, so apologize if my question is stupid... I am planning to buy a board to build a wireless print server. what I need my board to have is wireless connection and a Linux distribution capable of running cups, and a USB port. I think Orange Pi Zero fits my needs with a good price, BUT it does not come with any video output option built-in. My question is: if I buy Orange Pi Zero, and "burn" the armbian OS to SD card using my laptop, would I be able to configure ethernet and/or wifi network from my laptop, changing the network configuration files inside the SD card, and then boot the Pi board and have it connected to my network with…

I was searching for certain hard-to-find chip (TDA1022 BBD) and found this site ( www.chimicron.com ) mentioned as a source. They have it in stock and at a pretty decent price. Most of their stuff I’ve seen seems reasonably priced, but I couldn’t find mentions/opinions of the site here or in a few other diy communities. I’m not sure the location of the company (either Hong Kong or China?), but everything is listed in dollars (but then again so is Tayda). Has anyone purchase through this site? Any issues with quality of the productions such as questionable authenticity? Are shipping/handling times reasonable? Thank you!

Hi. I want to get an Orange Pi Plus 2 or 2E to do tests. Does anyone sell any board of these models? I'm from Spain. Thanks.

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 …

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.

I have this idea that I was researching on for a while. There are 5" FullHD LCD panels available on aliexpress for phones (HTC Drod DNA, HTC M7 etc.) as low as 15$, I thought about driving them with a controller board for interfacing HDMI (opi) <> MIPI DSI (lcd) but couldn't find that much about it. There are DIY Oculus DK1 kits on ali selling for 240$ that includes these boards and a LCD, and there is a hackaday project that sells for 99$ only board. Any thoughts about a cheaper solution?

Hi ! Situation: I have to sync automaticaly some small files beetween Windows and Armbian on Orange Pi One. How can I do? I don't see any possibility ... please help me !!!!

Suppose that you have a bunch of dtb/dts files that are known good (like from Linux kernel source). Suppose that you have a dtb file that you ripped out of some new device and probably no source code. This tool will allow to dump all of the parameters (nodes) out of the dtb file and compare it with all of the other ones that you have in a spreadsheet so that you can visualise the differences. See https://github.com/dieselnutjob/dts2tsv

Hi I'm looking to emulate an industrial device such as eWon or ESA router by using an sbc with dual eth and tailscale/headscale. What is the best and cheapest board? better if with a decent chassis. I'm interested in something like nanopi Rx or orangepi Rx. Any idea? thank you

I must admit I don't really know what to do with my sbc's. After getting them set up there is nothing more I could think of to use them for. I guess part of the fun is in getting them set up, and to run them cool during native kernel builds. Just so it's not a complete waste of money, I spent more (though not a lot) to add dual screens to some of them. Any ideas what else I could use them for? I already have music players (a lot of them, DACs), NAS, home control, security camera, what else do you use them for? I haven't left any of them outside in the sun yet to try out solar power. So, I added dual screens to these ones (left to right, counter clockwise)…

So, I've been doing some reading, and found this ... https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/overlay-notes.rst Looks like a mechanism to dynamically load or unload device tree overlays live. Really the only change is that .dtbo files need to be compiled with symbols (-@) like this: dtc -@ -o myoverlay.dtbo myoverlay.dts And then you can load/unload those overlays after (or during) boot by doing something like this: # Creates the dynamic overlay mkdir /sys/kernel/config/device-tree/overlays/myoverlay # Load the dynamic overlay cat myoverlay.dtbo > /sys/kerne…

Hello Everyone, I'm currently doing an assignment for one of my classes, and in it, I have to give examples, using Java syntax, of *static* and *dynamic binding*. I am lost while understanding the work process.

I found an example of static binding online that gives this example and running the program on interviewbit. public static void callEat(Animal animal) { System.out.println("Animal is eating"); } public static void callEat(Dog dog) { System.out.println("Dog is eating")…

I appreciate people want to do all sorts of things with their SBCs, but the usage of "cheap PC" must be common, and users will have the expectation of connecting up a HDD or SSD. So I was thinking: how about a M.2 slot instead supporting PCIe x4 so we can buy the biggest, fastest and cheapest per GB SSDs around. You could then eliminate the TF slot, micro-SD cards and eMMC modules, and the system could boot off the drive in the normal Linux manner. I'm not sure where the "support for PCIe x4" comes from, or how much this would affect the price. In the same way, I will probably never use GPIO pins, or IR receivers, cameras, touchscreens, on-board microphones…

A bunch of APIs are at hand that help to collect data from sensors can be the source for alert emails. With the Raspberry Pi and the the setting of terminal commands. The alert-messages also are able to be configured to be sent by Cron-job. Sometimes using email, is called ugly it's…

I'd like to migrate from SD card Samsung Evo+ to something more durable (I'm running home assistant automation on OPI PC now, mariadb, influx, etc, many writes per minute). I think that I have only two options: go with SBC with EMMC or just buy cheap 32/64 GB SSD with USB adapter. What do you think, which option gives me better durability? Can I assume that EMMC is really durable comparing to SD card? Is USB 2.0 adapter as fast as EMMC?

Hello friends. I'm trying to get TeamViewer without graphical user interface to work on my Orange Pi Lite and I need a framebuffer console working on it.

Igor, Like the new direction... you have the best image for all boards, and I like how you're formalizing it. One thing I noticed, you don't have any SSL during account creation and login. Granted this isn't a bank, but it would be nice if you enabled SSL during login and account creation. Especially these days with all the security breaches we have. Cheers.

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 everyone, I’m sharing an engineering paper about getting a PP-OCRv6-based RapidOCR pipeline running on the Orange Pi Zero 3W’s Allwinner A733 / Vivante VIP9000 NPU, integrated into Visual AI. Full paper: https://github.com/sog777/orange-pi-zero-3w-rapidocr-npu The tests used the Orange Pi Debian 12 Bookworm image and its vendor NPU stack, not Armbian. This is an engineering case study, not an Armbian support request or a claim that the same binaries work on an Armbian image. The paper covers the ONNX → ACUITY → NBG → VIPLite conversion path, static model shapes, targeted convolution and LayerNorm graph rewrites, quantization, simulator-versus-hardwa…

I have a Banana PI M1+, and I'm building my custom kernel on a VirtualBOX VM with Ubuntu Server 16.04 because I want to enable other frequencies (until 1152000) and I want to modify the voltage according to the table found here https://linux-sunxi.org/A20 I'm having this error compiling my own kernel ¦ dpkg-deb: building package 'linux-firmware-image-4.9.10-sunxi' in '../linux-firmware-image-4.9.10-sunxi_5.26_a ¦ ¦ dpkg-deb: building package 'linux-headers-4.9.10-sunxi' in '../linux-headers-4.9.10-sunxi_5.26_armhf.deb'. ¦ ¦ dpkg-deb: building package 'linux-libc-dev' in '../linux-libc-dev_5.26_armhf.deb'. ¦ ¦ dpkg…

I am using orange pc + and running fw ubuntu 14.04.3 server. Currently I have add multicore r81 application and failed 2 lines on! Look forward to help to fix the problem.

Yesterday I came across the following - for me - fine project (Demo-Page): ESPTERM Release 2.3.0 Cricket https://espterm.github.io/term.html GitHub-Page: https://github.com/espterm/espterm-firmware Downloads: https://github.com/espterm/espterm-firmware/releases Its a VT100-Webpage-Terminal on a ESP8266-Microcontroller which opens a Accesspoint. You could connect via this VT100-Webpage-Terminal to the TTL-Port of the ESP8266. TTL-Connection is done (like allways in TTL-Connections) with RX,TX and GND I connected my Orange Pi R1 via TTL and 115200 Baud and could "work" at a (max.) Terminal-Size of 80…

Hello, Is it possible to run ESXi-Arm Fling on OrangePI (one, zero, opi 4 etc...) ? ESXi Arm

Hi, Idea is to run a wireguard server having two ethernet devices, therefore added an USB3 adapter "ASIX AX88179" to my rockpi4a. I like to allow incoming traffic, incl SSH, on "eth1". Instead, outgoing, on eth0 ( RTL8211E ) I wrote following ( preps, nmcli, iptables ) up - but perhaps there is an easier approach and I am sure I am missing other (routing) stuff, for sure the forwarding part. Anyway perhaps there is one to guide me a bit, TiA! 1/ preparations apt update && apt -y upgrade && apt -y install firmware-realtek nano /boot/armbianEnv.txt # add extraargs=n…

Orange Pi Plus 2E, Armbian 21.02.1 Buster I can use Ethernet OR WLAN but not both connections at the same time. To use WLAN I have to disconnect the ethernet cable. Do you have any idea to solve this issue? Thanks

Hi Igor, First of all thanks a lot for all the work that you do, its awesome. I do experience some problems with the latest kernel version 3.4.110 that I compiled with PMP support with the RTL8211E PHY interface. Its something weird going on. I can ping the card but i get multiple interruptions: PING 10.20.104.243 (10.20.104.243) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 10.20.104.243: icmp_seq=1 ttl=61 time=0.362 ms x 64 bytes from 10.20.104.243: icmp_seq=3 ttl=61 time=0.300 ms 64 bytes from 10.20.104.243: icmp_seq=4 ttl=61 time=0.276 ms x x x 64 bytes from 10.20.104.243: icmp_seq=7 ttl=61 time=0.246 ms 64 bytes from 10.20.104.243: icmp_seq=8 ttl=61 time=0.256 ms …

Hello, I'm following my investigation in order to have a SBC that can use armbian to deploy it in schools with the Primtux OS in order to make DIY activites ,more details here : A user tell me about a Banana Pi SBC, thanks a lot to him. I'm trying to add http://www.banana-pi.org/m2plus.html to the benchmark tool : https://mutualiser-les-comparatifs.les-cercles-vertueux.org/comparatif-des-nano-ordinateurs-monocarte Here is my first questions : Banana Pi M2+ could have H2+, H3, H5 processor. 1) What is the most adapted for my needs ? My needs are : The most usable on VGA old screen that have schools or that people can give…

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'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.

Hi guys. I have the Orange pi zero and the usb expansion board but i still want a couple more usb ports. Can i solder leads directly to the pi or am i better off using a powered usb hub?

I would like to discuss the subject of failure and SBC systems of various brands. I just broke the Nanopi T2 module. I also had a damaged module of orangepi 2 and orange pi RK 3399. You have a lot of boards. Did you happen to be under the influence of overvoltages in the high temperature or period the use of the board broke down ?. Which producer is the worst in this respect?

Can you people explain to me how you advertise on almost every page 48+TB storage fully knowing there is a 16TB limitation on all filesystems thanks to limitations on 32bit? I will not use whatever MERGEFS is. How exactly do you achieve 48TB storage as I currently have 4x6TB disks that I CANNOT USE. If you can't I want a refund.

I am a miner. I am building a OrangePi Zero plus cluster and Armbian is the more perfect OS distro I ever tested. I tryed all OrangePi images and other way of install. This is the best! Have you an idea if the Armbian images will implement the graphic Driver?

After working with sysfs and libgpiod as cross platform solutions I was wondering if there was a faster way using /dev/mem or mmio? I know this gets more bare metal and SBC specific, but for some things you may want absolute speed. https://opensource.com/life/16/4/bulldog-gpio-library for instance claims 1 MHz GPIO writes in Java. However it only supports 3 SBCs as you can see from https://github.com/SilverThings/bulldog. Is there a more generic way to do this and not lose performance? Using my generated JNA wrappers for libgpiod I get about 2K writes per second. In Python I think it's about 70K using libgpiod Python bindings. I realize you may not always need 1 MHz GPIO …

I was able to build the property file for the NanoPi M1 in about 20 minutes, so now basically you can do ~2 MHz GPIO square wave on all Allwinner and S905 CPUs (you listening @TonyMac32?) without any special code or adapters. All other libraries require one off code to support GPIO register access thus they only support limited boards. In my mind this is the holy grail for cross platform GPIO performance. I plan on going through some more diverse boards, but I'm happy with the results so far. Since only one core is utilized you'll average 25% CPU utilization on quad core systems. That may be another goal using two threads to improve performance further. I have currently m…

Hi, I have heard in a podcast about: fatrace “file access traceâ€, not “fat race†fatrace: report system wide file access events Part of our efforts to reduce power consumption is to identify processes which keep waking up the disk even when the computer is idle. This already resulted in a few bug reports (and some fixes, too), but we only really just began with this. I cannot find it in the repositories of my: Armbian 4.2 3.4.108-banana apt-cache search fatrace apt-cache show fatrace I was wondering if only I am interested in it or if it would be interesting to add it to the repository ? Cheers …

I bought few Geobooks 1E and all had regardless distro same issue. Random hangups immediately or few minutes after boot finished or after few days of run or hours. On Armbian distro after trying some other things I enabled kernel messages in sysctl.conf. And then I got something like, luckily immediately when login prompt appeared, : rtw_8821ce 0000:01:00.0: failed to dequeue 4088 skb Tx queue 5, .... when laptop stopped responding to keyboard immediately afterwards. After some research I found solution, plugged USB lan adapter, disabled wifi otherwise it would knocked system down a did these next steps to replace wifi driver and hopefully af…

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 devs, i'm looking for informations about the needed certifications to be able to sell a board in EU (with enclosure). I know that many board have ce/fcc certifications, and others not, but the question is: 1) when i compose the product with an hypothetical fcc/ce board + an enclosure (let's suppose an fcc/ce enclosure, if it exists) + other CE/FCC modules i need to obtain a new certification!!?? 2) there are enclosure fcc/ce approved for orange pi (or if not) for some boards? 3) is the orangepi fcc/ce certified (seems no...), expecially the zero? 4) if is mandatory that the board and the enclosure must be certified together, the…

For those unfamiliar with Festivus, it’s that festive time of year when you get your chance to Air your Grievances, and be heard (or ignored, as the case may be). Please, everyone, save up your Grievances for the next 2-3 days, then Air them! It would be sort of like when Lunduke does his “Linux Sucks” speeches, but we all get to have our say.

For anyone interested I have pushed the sources to github here: https://github.com/avafinger/ffmpeg-3.3.4_cedrus264 Feel free to try. It has been tested on A64, R40 and possibly will work on H5 too. Cross compiling and re-writing the package in a compliant way would speedup things.

The Cedrus HW encoder is working on A64 (POC). FFmpeg 2.8.6 with cedrus264 can be found for testing here: https://github.com/avafinger/ffmpeg_cedrus264_A64 It was tested on Pine64+ (1GB) and OV5640.

I have managed to build FFmpeg with Cedrus on Armbian and it seems working. It would be nice to see some benchs and how would be the best use for this AW Encoder. I have not much experience with FFmpeg. You can test it: https://github.com/avafinger/ffmpeg_cedrus264_H3 To grab video stream from the CMOS camera: sudo ./ffmpeg -f v4l2 -channel 0 -video_size 640x480 -i /dev/video0 -pix_fmt nv12 -r 30 -b:v 64k -c:v cedrus264 test.mp4

Just a tip for something that has helped me from getting a heart-attack over the many years of online discourse.... Back in the day (ugh-really?) there were only TWO rules for participation in the store-and-forward Fidonet system: 1) Thou shalt not excessively annoy others. 2) Thou shalt not be too easily annoyed. Breaking *either* rule, got you kicked out. Strangely enough, rule #2 was broken more often than #1. And it helps you grow a skin, no matter what is said. Most importantly, it keeps you hacking, and not getting a heart-attack. For Devs, maybe the OpenBSD philosophy can cut through some of the angst: …

neither apt nor snap will update firefox, apt says possible mirror update in progress. snap refresh or snap list says its current. Call me puzzled. Which do I uninstall??? .

Anyone know how to fix this. A known problem sometimes. Only been able to find a fix for Windows.

Can anyone confirm whether firefox-esr_60.2.1esr-1~deb9u1 works?

So i came across this mysterious vpn/network box thingy and it was suspiciously looking like an orange pi zero with a fancy case and some nice gui frontend. To nobody's surprise, digging at the firmware image, it confirms my suspecion. It uses armbian!... Looking at their github page, absolutely no mention of either armbian or sunxi team (even though their project would not exist without them). Is armbian/sunxi team aware of this?

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_!

Hi, UPDATE 26 of May 2018: minor text for better reading, Document section added tools, repository idea SITUATION: In our "day to day" exchange on Armbian we are probably to close to look at it the way it looks for a firsttime visitor. Many members of the community have seen that as well and wrote about it in the Forum - but they didn't come up with a solution. Now, neither do I have a solution nor do I have nice document, but I think we need to set some standard pillars of FOSS projects in order to overcome some of our well known problems. For the ones who joined armbian a while ago (me for example May 2015) have read about missing dev…

Hi, I am currently facing lots of problem in Flashing ".raw" image with Etcher on windows 10. On starting the application, firstly it lags for few seconds but when I start the flashing procedure by clicking Flash button, after that it only show starting flashing and it eats up my remaining whole 3 GB of ram also if creates a lot of services and threads of the process , After that it never completed successfully.
