I found it quite interesting the Banana PI M3, however the block diagrams seems to show the SATA interface is connected to the USB bus. Has someone the experience of using it?

Finally, my very own :-)

Hi - I flashed a new nanopineo2 with debian9 ( Armbian_5.44.180510_Nanopineo2_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.40 ) and set this to stable build before updating to latest "stable". Next step after reboot is to configure my static network ( eth0 ), but here things tend to be a bit different than previous flash ? Previously in advanced I edited /etc/network/interfaces to add my DNS-servers but in this build it seems " Network is managed by NetworkManager " so I instea I used " nmtui " to set these for "Wired Connection 1". Unfortunately I still see in /etc/resolv.conf : " nameserver 8.8.8.8 " first before my entries. I like to get rid of this nameserver but I am unable to…

I am currently trying to set up the PICAN GPS+ACC Rev B on my NanoPi M4 in order to receive CAN connections. I have previously set this up on a Raspberry Pi with no issues, but because the NanoPi does not have /boot/config.txt and /boot/cmdline.txt I am at a loss at how to set up the module. Any information as to how I can go about using the module on the NanoPi would be much appreciated. The guide I used to set up the module on the Raspberry Pi is here http://skpang.co.uk/catalog/images/raspberrypi/pican/PICANGPSACC_V1.pdf Thanks

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. Software displaying such charts available for Linux and ARM is mostly Java platforms (I believe Java is architecture-independent, the applications at least, but I might be wrong), using 300-800 MB RAM and 10-30% on a low-end x86 CPU. The Orange Pi+ 2E seems like the best thing for such hobo desktop purpose, mostly because people's support for it, but the H5 SoC advertis…

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?

I want to build a project for a USB camera with motion software detection and autonomous power. I have some difficulties to find clear information regarding the consumption of the different Orange Pi boards. And I'm not sure to choose model Zero, I96, Lite, or perhaps another one My project includes: - power bank: already I have one with 20.000 mah (5v/1-2A) - usb camera: I have one camera low resolution, which I believe is better to get a lower consumption - one physical switch: to shutdown gracefully, and avoid the SD corruption before the battery is exhausted I have seen there is some code for the switch in the Zero board, although I ignore i…

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.

Hi, This is new to me and probably to you too. If you look a little bit around in this Forum you will find that RPi-Monitor is a well known tool and can be adjusted to your SoC. Now I found this project on Github RPi-MonitorWatcher Raspberry Pi Monitor Watcher is an Android application to view the status of your Raspberry Pis. It uses the API provided by Raspberry Pi Monitor. Someone might now think "my mobile has a browser" what do I need this for. Because you can I cannot find an .apk if you are smarter than me and know what I have to do to get this I would be grateful. Cheers Tido

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? Ready to boot: As a bonus - no modifications required for the recent Armbian images.

Hi, i would like to try running some Android app on Armbian. I see that Anbox is available on the repository, but i cannot get running. When starting i got Failed to start as either binder or ashmem kernel drivers are not loaded Obviously i'm not asking support for Anbox, i would like to know how to enable binder and ashmem kernel modules.

Its a just a proposal. It would be nice to have a anonymous telemetry result that summarize boards and armbian popularity (distro, kernel, CPU from /proc/cpuinfo and memory size, board name if available) Another board's popularity source that is also interesting is a poll about boards in use (board name, development tools) Please star/mark this post to make it important for @Igor

I am looking to replace 3 OrangePi boards with a H3 CPU with one board. Every board has a RTL-SDR USB stick attached to it, and the software tends to load up the CPU a lot on at least one core, in some cases the total load is high on 2 cores. To make it all easier / simpler I would like to replace the 3 with one board with enough processing power, but nothing extreme. The goal is that it will be in an enclosure up the antenna mast, POE fed, so not easily accessible! I even looked at the Atomic Pi, but I am not so sure about processing power in that unit.. (I might be wrong though!) Browsing the options online, I saw the NanoPi M4 which looks like a good candid…

In one post here I saw a "please buy hardware we recommend" quote, and I appreciate that, but I wasn't able to find a recommended boards list - is there even one? Or should I just use the standard/platinum support filtering on the main page? Anyway, I could also use some help / recommendation for a general purpose SBC as I ... didn't by one for years. I'm looking for a more recent SBC to run a small, low power server (think pihole, homeassistant, zigbee, etc). I don't have specific requirements, but I'd like the board to have some kind of "long term support" and I'd also like to choose something that the armbian team would recommend, maybe from a manufacturer …

Hi, I installed armbian on my "Orange Pi Plus 2 E" With EMMC. I want to undo EMMC. how? i don't know. Can someone help me please Thanks

I have recently stumbled upon an #armbian channel at FreeNode and noticed that there is a small, but growing, Armbian user community gathering there. It doesn’t seem any developers are there, but since the number of participants has already in double digits, it is fair to say that it is at least an unofficial Armbian user channel. In case you are an IRC person, you are hereby kindly invited to join our idle chatter at: irc://freenode.net/#armbian NB: The forums are still the official communication channel and I made sure to include that in the channel’s topic.

Hello all, I've been recently burned by a failing SD card (armbianmonitor -v possibly saved me a much worse fate!) and I'm now trying to proactively avoid a similar situation. I found that WD has a line of cards that claim a health status feature that "Helps in preventive maintenance by signaling when the card needs to be replaced". One of them is the Purple QD101 that seems reasonably priced at $15 for 64GB. I'm not finding much in the way of details of how this is exposed though. Is there any way to get access to this information on linux?

I have several cheap USB to barrel plug (to fit OrangePis, 4.0 x 1.7) adapters here and some seem to start failing. o cut a long story short, does anybody have recommendations on what product to buy to get such a cable with better quality?

Anybody know a way to reset board (OPI PC) immediatly not going through shutdown process? I'm already logged in (ssh session). I've overwritten SD card by mistake, whole fs has gone, and I cant perform reboot or shutdown command (not found)

Since yesterday I suffer from very poor performance of forums like very long page loading times. Disabling ipv6 on my devices fixes this. Can somebody confirm this behaviour? If so please state where you are connecting from (country).

I'm looking for experience / ideas around an update system. I could pull source from GitHub. I could package up zips, pull them with wget, unzip and overwrite files in the file system with the contents of the zip. Maybe include a script_pre.sh and script_post.sh to run before and after the file copy/replace routine. Any other ideas, suggestions, frameworks?

Hello, Apologies if this posted in wrong section. I'm running Armbian buster with Linux 5.4.20-sunxi on an Orange Pi 0 (512) and recently I decided to install openmediavault. So I added a 32G USB flash memory and both lsblk and lsusb failed to display the device. So I followed instructions at with no avail. Now I know that USB ports used to work a couple of months earlier and I have cleaned the dusty ports and tried many different UDB flash memories and no result. Appreciate any help and thank you.

Hi, I hope that posting a link like this is allowed. If not, sorry. An article on CNX-Software on a promo for the Orange Pi One for $3.69 (shipped) on Everbuying.net http://www.cnx-software.com/2016/09/19/orange-pi-one-development-board-sells-for-3-69-shipped-promo/

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…

Hi,after search around the internet i found out that is nearly impossible to enable I2s interface with new armbian kernel so searching a little bit more i found another solution that i have to rebuilt another armbian kernel by my own to enable but i don't know how. So I'm writing this to ask every pro member in this forum to show me the way or guide me to make the i2s interface success. Thanks all for reading this. P/s sorry for my bad English

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 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 .

Hi all, I'm interested in developing and selling a product containing an Orange Pi or Raspberry Pi with embedded software protected by Intellectual Property. I would like it to be as hard as possible for a customer/hacker to get root access or steal software or data out of it. I found the OrangePi to have an 8GB eMMC which would be enough for both OS and our data and probably would be more secure than SD. I'm aware of how to secure network and application layers, but how to secure the device from a customer/hacker who bought the device and thus have physical access to it? I would like to prevent or make it very hard for him to read the eMMc memory or g…

Thinking about buying a couple pcDuino3 Nano Lite's for $15 each and installing armbian on a SD and then connecting an external usb powered 2.5" HD to it. Think the USB port could even handle that? The pcDuino would just be powered by a 2A adapter. Want to see if I can try creating a glusterfs cluster with two of these.

Hi, I added an USB3.0 adapter to my rockpi4a , which results in: " enx000ec667f0a2 " ( eth1 ) Since NetworkManager is being used I tried to update this name using : " nmcli c modify armbian connection.interface-name "eth1" " But alas that does not seem to be picked up while nmconnection config file has been updated: cat /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/armbian.nmconnection [connection] id=armbian uuid=8f61a97c-d0f1-4cb2-be4a-3fe2b4c08e7c type=ethernet interface-name=eth1 <snip snip> Ideally this could be changed in armbian-config, but I realise this is a low-low rockpi-4…

While reading the armbian-forum with a tablet using the Chrome-Browser (or other Browser as well) I do miss the header/headlines in portrait-mode I did mark the part - with green retangle - which is visible in landscape-mode, but is missing in portrait-mode. Does anyone else got this problem on a tablet or smartphone? PS: Original Resolution of the image is 2560*1600 (on my Samsung SM-T900 12.2" Tablet) - so there is more space than on my 19" Monitor with 1280*1024

This post is to share my successful webcam installation with Armbian and one of my SBC’s (orange pi plus). I’ve used a Logitech C270 which can be purchased from eBay for roughly 20 Euros. Also el-cheapo shops like lightinthebox sell the C270. Benefit of such a cam is that you now have a cable from your SBC to your cam which makes (physical) cam installation easier IMHO. Also IMHO the C270 is a better camera than the famous GC2035, but it is also more expensive. Price / 'bang for the buck' ratio is more or less the same for both camera’s if you ask me. You get what you pay for. Enough talk now: the installation All I did was a fresh Armbian desktop v5.20 …

Yet another crowd funding hopeful MiQi is a $35 single-board computer with Rockchip RK3288 Looking for a credit card-sized computer with a quad-core, ARM-based processor and only have $35 to spend? You could opt for the Raspberry Pi 3. But another option is on the way. The MiQi is the same size and price as a Raspberry Pi 3, but this little single-board computer/developer board features a Rockchip processor, up to 32GB of built-in storage, Gigabit Ethernet, and a few other features that help set it apart. http://liliputing.com/2016/04/miqi-is-a-35-single-board-computer-with-rockchip-rk3288.html

I'm running Openwrt CC on orange pi zero, I use it as a router with its built-in wifi. When I transfer files from my computer to the opiz, I get 1MBps of transfer speed, is this normal ?

Hi all. Last weekend PINE64 was on FOSDEM with many new products. The PineBook Pro with RK3399. The new designed PINE H64 with the H6, now with wifi on-board and a small form-factor. That one's comming out next week. The PinePhone. A prototype of the PinePhone with an A64 SoC and 2GB of RAM. The PineCam. A multi-funtional network camera. A new SNES case. Exciting times to come with all that. I've made a video about it all. You can see it here. Greetings, NicoD

I have recently bought a Orange Pi Lite 2 H6 1GB Quad Core Development Board, it comes with one USB 2.0 Port and one USB 3.0 Port.

Today I gave OpenMediaVault another try - because 2 of my "very" old NAS-Boxes (normally sitting on a cupboard) only support SMB v1 and I dont know how long my Synology DS109 will live. Yes - I got 2 NanoPi Neo2 with NAS-Case, but for a test-ride I compiles stretch for the Cubieboard A10 (because of the SATA-Port). While installing OpenMediaVault vis softys in armbin-config the install-script has to install the OMV Keyring. The packages where downloaded 100% and then softys came to to line with the keyring and did break the "install-screen". I did see any action from the Cubieboard After a while I did press Ctrl-C and did reboot and tried to install …

As someone not familiar with all the ins and outs of GPL specifically, how does GPL in the armbian/build project play with userpatches? Is it expected that a commercial hardware device using Armbian would need to open-source the customize-image.sh script? Thanks!

Just to say really impressed and wow you guys have done a lot with the documentation since I last looked. I was never a big fan and its been a while, but wow I have to say its really great and thanks for all your efforts. No script bloat and all seems really logical and much work most of been done.

Hi, I'm part of a nonprofit working on improving access to digital education in the developing world. I'm looking for a fairly cheap SBC (<$20) that has a HDMI port so that it can be connected to a TV monitor (including old TVs like CRTs). The microSD card will be preloaded with static webpages from educational websites so that students can surf these websites at home. It should also have bluetooth or a USB port so it can be connected to a keyboard ($10) or mouse ($1). I don't strictly need wifi (the microSD cards can be updated on a different device), but it would be a plus. Another nice-to-have would be compatibility with Android apps, since…

I never know what to get anyone. If I'm being honest I have more than a little disdain for how commercialized the holidays have become nowadays. We were not raised in a materialistic way growing up. A lot of gifts were socks and other actually useful things like that (which I only appreciate now as I get older ). Anyway... So when some of the guys shared some pictures of themselves with some Armbian swag in IRC a while back, a little light bulb went off in my head. So this morning, I went nuts and spent > 400 USD sending everyone in my family some Armbian swag. I figure, it's a good way to get the word out there to friends and family ab…

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?

So the question is "why does disconnecting and reconnecting power cause a shutdown SBC to boot?" If I have an SBC and I shut it down (e.g. using "shutdown now") then it enters an inactive state. However, I haven't done anything with the power supply - the board is still powered. So what changes in the state of the board as a result of cycling the power? If nothing changed then it would continue in the same inactive state as before? But instead, it boots up when power is restored. I'm guessing the answer varies by board. On the Raspberry Pi it seems that on doing a shutdown the shutdown process writes a volatile magic number that can be read by the …

Hi, I am working on a project based on raspberry pi and sensors, I am using sensors to get data and I am using an ADS1115(datasheet) ADC to convert sensor analog data to digital. I am concerned about the ESD for raspberry pi so i have used a metal case for this project. Also, I am using a MEANWELL Net 35-b power supply . Question: I read on a blog that the simplest way to have ESD protection is to use a metal case and connect the metal case to the ground of the power supply also ground of raspberry pi and power supply are connected. Is this the correct way to protect circuit and raspberry pi?

Fun stuff - and something that's kept me offline/busy for the last few weeks... # uname -a Linux blaster 3.4.0 #1 PREEMPT Wed May 13 14:43:07 PDT 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux # cat /proc/cpuinfo Processor : ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v7l) BogoMIPS : 586.13 Features : swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp neon vfpv3 tls CPU implementer : 0x51 CPU architecture: 7 CPU variant : 0x1 CPU part : 0x00f CPU revision : 2 Hint - it's old enough not to have a device-tree... actually, in CPU years, it's old enough to vote/drink, and in dog-years, it's probably dead.

Ahoy! I'm looking for a cheap SBC with mainline kernel support (so hopefully Armbian support too) and a stereo line-level input and output. I'd like to also have atleast an ARMv7 or later instruction set (need Neon instructions) and atleast 512 megs of RAM (but 1 or 2 gigs would be nice; and I could survive with 256MB if I work really hard). My use-case is that I intend to pair this up with a cheap mixer and run a few audio plugins via Ardour. Most plugins I use (generally stuff from the Guitarix project) depend on the ARM Neon instructions. The ModDevices project seems to be based off an ARMv7 instruction set based 1GB board so it's kinda sorta my…

good day dear friends, well sure i know this is theoretically a bit difficult, but I dare to ask: what are the possible ways to connect an internal 3.5'' SATA HDD to the board (let's say i want to use a 1TB)? Let's ignore the need for additional power. i want to add a good power supply unit: So that i have enough power. What about the ways and options to connect a HDD. What is aimed: I want to make a box like a Network Attached Storage - a NAS - that contains the board and the HDD internally, so the trivial "plug to USB connector" is excluded. How can I do this? first approach: Well - i guess that the only way is to use a sata…

I am looking for an affordable SBC card that will work as a solid NAS system that I can also run alongside either TrueNas/FreeNAS/OMV such as Grafana, VPN, Docker. Anything above $100 USD is unfeasible for me right now.

Need a little help. What board do you guys recommend for multi-room audio? What a need: - Something small like OPI zero or a bit bigger (that's the space i have inside the wall) - I2S for connecting a DAC - Onboard WiFi - Maybe a Micro and onboad flash I have an OPI Zero but it has no I2S The only ones that i know are C.H.I.P and and nanopi Air

dear fellows, what is aimed: on Raspberry Pi i want monitor the CPU temp at a command line, there is the vcgencmd command. Well We can do this in bash: To read CPU temp at a command line, we can use the vcgencmd command. Example in bash: echo "The CPU is at $(vcgencmd measure_temp) degrees." The CPU is at temp=45.5'C degrees. i think that we can do this with Python as well: import re, subprocess def check_CPU_temp(): temp = None err, msg = subprocess.getstatusoutput('vcgencmd measure_temp') if not err: m = re.search(r'-?\d\.?\d*', msg) # a solution with a regex try: …

Good day dear Armbian-experts, hello everyone hope that youre all right and all goes well at your side. i want to simulate a tree command using Shell Script that displays all the directories recursively in this format: . . |-- Lorem |-- Lorem |-- Lorem |-- Lorem |-- Lorem |-- Lorem `-- Lorem how can this be achived? note: i want to do this on a MX-Linux system - well i can do this with Tree - but wait. I guess that tree has to be installed first..

plz help me out with HP1112 printter. Dmesg detects it as a printer. I have also install HPLIP but the hp tool doesnt detect it .The auto detect driver utility detects my system to be missing in libsnmp-dev, libtool, sane-utils,python-reportlab .But it doesnt get installed by itself . Can someone help me out what do to do ? I need to print some study materials . after checking this above missing stuffs , they are already here in my system.

Hello everybody. I'm a newcomer here. I tried several times (6 or 7) to use the "Search" function, typing either "OBS" or "OBS Studio", but the page crashed everytime, prompting me to wait 30 seconds (in vain). So I'm considering buying an Odroid N2+ and installing Armbian on it. As said in the title, I'd like to use OBS Studio on it, but would like to know if someone already installed it - and could use it of course -, just to spare time. Maybe it's already been discussed somewhere here, but as I said, the "Search" function doesn't work for me. Thanks in advance.

Hi there, I'm currently struggling to get the Cedrus VPU up and running. I have downloaded the specific version from bootlin and got the kernel up and running, however the V3s isn't supported by the Sunxi SRAM driver. This driver is important to get the VPU going. I tried altering the devicetree of the V3s to match a SoC that is somehow similiar, but it clearly failed for obvious reasons. I get this error message: [ 1.035259] cedrus 1c0e000.video-codec: Failed to claim SRAM [ 1.040990] cedrus 1c0e000.video-codec: Failed to probe hardware [ 2.478247] cedrus 1c0e000.video-codec: Failed to claim SRAM [ 2.484047] cedrus 1c0e…

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).

Thought you might want to know :-)

I've been testing Pi Hole for a few days on an Orange Pi PC with ARMBIAN jessie, connected to the network by the ethernet port. Pi Hole which is the last thing I installed. A few years ago I have OPi PC as UPnP server, VPN, DHCP, print, samba, transmission, jdownloader, BtSync, and something else that now I do not fall (curiously I did not have it as a server dns), without problems of operation since I am using Since I installed Pi Hole, if the ethernet connection loses link for a moment, for example because the router reboots, the connection stays fried, it is not able to lift when the link returns. This if I turn over the image prior to installing Pi Hole, it doe…

For a few years now I've used a Cubietruck as a "gateway" for my home network - it mostly just runs nginx as a reverse proxy for the various other computers I have to expose them to the internet via HTTPS. It still runs as good as it always has, I chose it for the task because: 2GB RAM at the time a reasonably fast CPU - dual 1GHz A7's "real" gigabit network interface built in battery management, so no need to worry about power failures corrupting anything sata support for local disk All of these points are now no longer relevant. Over the years I have amassed a few more SBC's, many of which also have 2GB RAM, a faster CPU,…

Hi, is there a way to automate how the nand-sata-install works - for example, if my image is on an SD card and I want to flash my emmc card on boot - can that be automated somehow? I tried looking at the documentation, but no luck. Thank you!

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 !!!!

Which section on this forum is for Lemaker Banana Pro SBCs? I think it's the Allwinner A20 forum, but right now I'm not sure as the Banana Pro is not in the list for this section?

hi, since two weeks i fail to install nexctloud 12 on armbian at an bananapi 1. may be one mistake seems to be, there is no php 7 for armbian? the second mistake: i get no LogIn to mariasql, because of password problems. If somebody would give me a hint on an tutorial to nstall nextcloud 12 on armbian for bananapi 1, may be i find my mistakes. may be there is no such tutorial ? I wasn't able to find ist via google. I am a "starter/beginner" with armbian, but medium knowledge on windows

hello dear all , good evening dear Arm-Experts and all Armbian-supporters, normally i am on Banana-Pi and Orange-Pi, on Udoo and Ordoit - all of those run with Arm-Operating-Systems from this great site. today one little question - i have with Raspi: I’ve just purchased a Raspberry Pi 3 and i’ve installed OpenElec onto the raspi so that i can run the Kodi. After this step - after this first step - I’ve succesfully set it all up and i’ve managed to get the USB ports. It seems to be working with a wireless wifi dongle. And that seems pretty fantastic. I am glad about this. So the next thing i did is to add a keyboard.i took a wireles…

Since I wanna get a jetson tx1 for some other stuff, I was wondering how do you guys think it will do as a NAS. I'm thinking I could connect 4 SATA HDDs to the PCIe2.0 4-lanes connector using something like http://www.ebay.com/itm/Marvell-9230-PCIe-To-4-SATA3-0-Raid-Card-PCI-Express-4Ports-SATA-6Gbps-Raid-Card/201168267815 (Marvell 9320) or http://www.ebay.com/itm/Free-Mouse-Pad-New-PCIe-x4-slot-Card-HyperDuo-4-port-SATA-III-SATA-3-4-port/381891976760 (Marvell 88SE9230) or http://www.ebay.com/itm/HighPoint-RocketRAID-640L-6Gb-s-SATA-RAID-Host-Adapter-Serial-ATA-600-PCI/332262844972 (please suggest others you think it would work, I just looked for x4 size PCIe cards t…

Hi, everyone. I'm looking for board which can be used for playing video in kiosk mode, therefore it must have video hardware acceleration available.

Small question i bought 32G kingstone memory card class10 But when use SD Insight app it can't detect and recognize the company ■is that mean my card is fake??!! Note when use H2testw program it can read and write 30457MByte without error But !! THE WRITE SPEED WAS ONLY 6.79MByts/s And read speed was only 18.2MByte/s ■it class 10 how write speed only 6.7mb is that error or what???!!!

I just released the source code to a very simple weather monitoring app. I wrote it to run on my Orange Pi Zero and make use of a few environmental sensors (Bosch BME280 and AMS CCS811), along with a SSD1306 OLED. It records the data every ten seconds into a CSV text file. https://github.com/bitbank2/weather_mon It's just a simple idea that I had to monitor the conditions overnight in my kids' bedroom since our place doesn't heat/cool evenly.

I am running on fedora as can be seen here. Fedora is not device-specific, only architecture-specific. If you want to experiment, drop in a distro-boot capable u-boot for your device in the firmware area and you should be good enough to go. I have never tested my image on a different device so YMMV.

Please anyone explain difference. Advantages and disadvantages?

Hi, I just got 2 of these. Everything is fine but you need to order power adapter 12V 2A with 3.5mm x 1.35mm connector. Unfortunately due to earlier version of BIOS compare to same looking GeoBook 1E but with dualcore Celeron N4020 it cannot boot from microSD card. Speakers are rubbish but it could be good for some low powered machine projects. And one advice. Do not change "Quick boot" option in BIOS setting or it will not boot and you will need to unplug battery to reset BIOS. It work with both Windows 11 or Linux with no extra drivers mods needed. 5Ghz wifi and bluetooth also included. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166222480445

Hi all, I've a minimal LINUX on a ARM board here (COREELEC on an ODROID N2). It does not use any 'apt--' based software control system. ( I do not know how its actually called ...) I would like to add all the tools of ARMBIAN and its rich software kingdom into this minimal LINUX. COREELEC does not know about 'apt' by purpose and thats' fair enough and respected. And there are lots of reason to discuss why to do so or not. But that is beyond the scope of this thread. Any hint would be helpfull. Thanks Gerry

Hi there, I noticed that current Raspbian distributions use an extra group called "gpio" for /dev/sys/gpio access. Somewhere I read that this coud be accomplished via udev but I also read that /sys is not affected by udev (only /dev). Anyhow, what can I do to permanently set gpio permissions to a group e.g. "gpio"? Would it be of general interest to include this in Armbian?

Thanks

WOW, I was really unhappy when I saw this, just goes to show you not to trust even projects like ARMBIAN on where they will connect to from your network, advise before anyone finds themselves in trouble having to explain why some of these connections..... I was downloading Armbian image and then got a warning that I couldn't connect to site called "FOREVER PIRATES" and became concerned... You can read it yourself... https://imgur.com/a/IQyzlvr

Yes. Cubieboard 1 I am doing various testings on OS level to find bugs related to last changes and I wanted to see how current latest Armbian assembly works on an older, officially unsupported, board, which we usually don't use any more. Especially not for a desktop replacement.
