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

I just open-sourced some code to replace fbtft and fbcp. It uses dirty-tiles to try to minimize the writes to the SPI LCD and improve the framerate. I'm working with some of the guys at sudomod to get it working on Lakka builds too. You can download it here: https://github.com/bitbank2/BB-CP

I have this cheap bluetooth multimedia controller with 5 keys (play, prev, next, vol up, vol down). It's all connected and key presses are recognised: [root] [~] # showkey kb mode was UNICODE [ if you are trying this under X, it might not work since the X server is also reading /dev/console ] press any key (program terminates 10s after last keypress)... keycode 164 press keycode 164 release How do I go from here? How do I make this 164 key press to run "mpc toggle" command? It's an Orange Pi PC+ and Armbian 5.90. This is a console-only machine. No any X window system (most of the keybind solutions I've found were X related).

Hi, I am trying to accommodate a SIM800 GSM module using UART3 of OP Lite. For the beginning, just to send a SMS and later on a MMS with a photo taken from gc2035 camera. This is a source that I made for arduino which works: Serial.print("AT+CMGS="); Serial.print(char(34)); //before and after phone nr a char (") must be sent Serial.print(Phone_nr); Serial.println(char(34)); delay(100); Serial.print(message); delay(100); Serial.println(char(26)); //end of message char I have set FEX for the UART3 but now I am struggling to start this using system commands, such as: echo "AT+CMGS=\r\n" /dev/…

So I built some fresh Armbian images with dev kernels, and setup ubuntu mate and ran them on my tritium h5, and my le potato... and like I've got slack running in chromium n stuff, and desktop switching is pretty decent... and that's without acceleration.. just good 'ole brute force. Basically my mind is blown that its usable and I'm going to retire my c2d dell desktop that's on my KVM and finally use an ARM SBC as a desktop!

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 know there exists https://forum.armbian.com/index.php/rss/forums/1-armbian-news/ but this feed does not seem to carry all new Armbian forum posts. I'm looking for something like http://forum.odroid.com/feed.php which makes it easier to track all feeds in on place like feedly.com does. Thanks Uli

@JMCC I'm trying to recreate some of this setup for the Rock Pi 4B running Balena OS (based on Debian Buster) and not getting very far. All I need is for Chromium to recognize the GPU for acceleration. I downloaded the .deb files and tried them, but I killed the OS. I'm willing to hire you to do it. Or anyone else if they understand what to do.

I would like to consolidate some of my devices into a singular device. I am having trouble coming up with a system which could work. currently my cubietruck crashes all the time, so much that it is now on a 2 hour reboot cycle and still manages to crash.

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.

I made a previous topic more specific and got no answers so I thought I would expand more. I did a search and I could not find may topics or posts about this. Are people here mainly using these boards without a case? Anyway this could be a future reference. So please if owners of Orange Pi are using a case with theirs could you say which one and any comments. Thank you.

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

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, 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?

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.

Hi, I'm missing a feature on the armbian download page, that I think was existing on an older version of this website.

Thanks for your feedback. Regards

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?

Hi Armbian fans and developers, I want to introduce ARM single board computers into one traditional organization with corporate IT that doesn't like changes. I already know what I get from the security team if I ask to deploy Armbian that is build by a relatively small number or volunteers. Security team is OK with Debian (that is not run by commercial company) but they won't be happy with Armbian regardless my recommendation even that I personally trust the Armbian team. The solution is to build the image from source and luckily that can be done thanks to the amazing https://github.com/armbian/build. I've just tried to build image for OrangePi Zero and it…

Hi all! I'm happily using Armbian on Cubieboard2 working as home server (samba, 4(!) LXC containers with Deluge, tor, owncloud and some other small apps) + VPN client. Pretty happy with it, especially for internal SATA. Recently found that Cubietech releases Cubieboard6 on S-500 CPU with same form-factor and SATA. That means, that all casing/housing can stay intact. LXC containers also can be migrated since CPU is still ARMv7. But at the same time found somewhere on this forum, that board is not really good quality... Cannot argue or agree with this since I don't have a board and it looks costly. So my question - what is advis…

I seem to be running around in circles trying to make a decision about a new SBC to add to the herd. The job is currently being done by an OrangePi PC (H3, 1Gb), and is mostly about generating static web sites, which means rendering static HTML/json/js files and uploading them via SCP to a cheap shared hosting provider (the orange pi does not do the actual hosting). This means daily downloading of data from the web (a few hundred MB) and crunching this data to use it for the site. Currently it downloads my country's official covid cases data and generates per-city-daily-cases-per-capita with rolling averages in HTML graphs, this allows easier compa…

I just released some new code on github to play animated GIF files directly on a Linux framebuffer or SPI LCD (using my SPI_LCD code). It doesn't have any 3rd party dependencies and can easily be made to run on systems with no operating system or file system. This is part of my imaging library that I've been working on for more than 20 years. I'm slowly releasing parts of it as open-source. This code was sliced out of a much larger project which supports a whole bunch of image formats. https://github.com/bitbank2/gif_play Comments/feedback welcome.

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 a OpenVPN server running on the broadband router installed at my parents house. My router at home connects to this and I mirror my complete NAS over this connection. My brother also has a laptop on which he uses VPN occasionally to copy important stuff there. Since the router has only a small dual core MIPS CPU, VPN speeds are limited to about 18Mbit/s. The connection at my parents home is 100/50Mbit/s and mine at home 250/80Mbit/s, so it could work faster. Also, the VPN takes up all the CPU so for example DNS resolution is slow if the VPN is saturated. For this reason, I'd like to buy a inexpensive small device tha…

Hey, I am trying to use the UART pins to talk to an external module. I tried doing this, shorted the RX and TX pins respectively (ttys0-ttys3) screen /dev/ttyS[0-3] 57600 However, I keep getting the message that screen is terminating. uname -a Linux orangepizero 4.10.0-sun8i #14 SMP Fri Feb 24 03:02:58 CET 2017 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux Any help is appreciated. UPDATE: Got it working from a solutions from here

Hi friend! Need some help with postfix settings. Here is the situation. i have 2 servers, 1 with fully configured mail with postfix and dovecot. Another one with web server apache2 and just postfix (for sending the mail messages through the php mail function). Have a public static ip address. So when i need to send a message from server 2 to email that located on mail service 1, i am getting timeout error message. In fact in log i can see, that server 2 looking in dns for MX and then going to ip address that filled under A on port 25. So my ip is going to my ip:25. How can i give my postfix on server 2 the instructions to connect to server 1 directly in my priv…

Somebody knows how much current at 5 volts the USB3 connectors of the Odroid C4 can deliver? The board itself is powered with 12 volts. From the schematics I could find two JW7111S switches for up to 2.4 amps. But the page seems to be a duplicate siince they have the same page number.

Hello everyone! I'm compiling firmware for orangepizero3，then you want to customize the bootlogo. I tried to replace my bootlogo with armbian-logo-png in xx, but the compiled firmware did not change, so I would like to ask you how to modify it My compile command:./compile.sh BOARD=orangepizero3 BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=yes BUILD_MINIMAL=no DESKTOP_APPGROUPS_SELECTED='browsers multimedia' DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT=xfce DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT_CONFIG_NAME=config_base KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=bookworm PLYMOUTH=yes build

I am trying to keep the Rock64 I have running on Armbian 10 Buster Version running Home Assistant in a Docker container running 24 hrs a day 7 days a week. It seems like it the OS goes into s sleep mode or power savings mode and I can not keep it up running 24 hrs a day. When it is up and running works very good but is there any settings in the OS that I can access from terminal (no running any gui or desktop) that I can invoke to keep it up and on line all the time?

dear friends , fellow pi-experts, i have some old 2.5 and 3.5 HDDs here - its still slightly cheaper than buying new ones off-the-shelf USB HDD drives of the same capacity. So - for the NAS i will use the old ones - and I get to select the HDD of my choice for that enclosure. i use Armbian on several systems - bananapi - udoo-quad - orange pi and others more. I love Armbian! plan; building up a NAS based on a Raspi 3 with a 3.5 " HDD. I just want to set up a samba server in linux (raspbian, armbian, or in debian, in opensuse; here we can do 95% of the config in the graphical YaST tool, only for smbpasswd the…

Hi, I would like to make a portable mini pc. I was a windows person but I rather like linux(armbian) now. Yes a noob for linux. At the moment I have an Asus Tinkerboard S and am using Armbian Stretch. Please, what 5" capacitive screen will work smoothly with the current setup? Thanks AD

Java Periphery is a high performance library for GPIO, LED, PWM, SPI, I2C, MMIO and Serial peripheral I/O interface access in userspace Linux. Rather than try to build this from scratch I used c-periphery and HawtJNI to generate the JNI wrappers. This saves a lot of hand coding and allows for easier synchronization with c-periphery changes moving forward. I believe this is the only userspace IO library that supports the new JDK 17 LTS (and still supports JDK 11). I had to fork HawtJNI to make it work with JDK 17. The only caveat is that ARM32 supports JDK 11. For some reason I cannot find a JDK 17 for ARM32 or information on why is was not supported. The insta…

Hi there, I'm looking for a USB power supply that would be mounted into a rack, so that I can power up quite a few boards at the same time. These boards would also be in the same rack. I found a big rackable USB hub, but that's not what I am looking for, and 2.4A max per slot may be too weak for some of the boards. I could hosts several smaller USB hubs too, but that does not sound really enticing. My other option is to make it by myself with salvaged server power supplies, a patch panel, bits and bobs, but it will take longer... Would you have any recommendation? Thanks.

Hi, Just joined to say thanks to all to those that are involved in the development of Armbian. I recently bought an Orange Pi PC after reading the internet full of people bitching about non-booting devices, HDMI issues, overheating and general crapness. Decided to buy a Orange Pi PC nonetheless, found an old crap micro SD card, burnt Armbian (the internet has made it clear to not bother with the crap on the official Orange Pi website!) onto it and the thing booted without any issues! Typing this message from it as we speak in Iceweasel! The thing only cost me 9 quid, so decided to donate what I would have wasted in cash on a Raspberry Pi 3 (which is anything b…

Hello, If I compile the mainline kernel after a make -j2 Bananapi_defconfig Will I get a suitable kernel or am I obliged to use ARMbian build script ? The question behind is, I'm testing Arch on several (unsupported) SBCs at customers requests, and on the BananaPI-M1, the HDMI is not working, on the OrangePI PC2, both the network and eMMC don't work. Obviously, everything is perfectly working on my ARMbian boxes 😄 Thanks

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'm developing a port (or "platform") for the Godot game engine that targets single board computers and I would really appreciate some feedback. I have already posted on reddit, but I got no replies so far: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_devices/comments/8a3to5/godot_export_template_frt_looking_for_feedback/ I was hoping maybe to have better luck posting here. See the reddit post, but essentially I have an executable that you can test (but you can re-create it yourself if you prefer; everything is open source https://github.com/efornara/frt ): https://sourceforge.net/projects/frt/files/demos/093_214_2d_platfo…

i have an orange pi 2 board, but the questions could be applied to any, i think so questions: 1. (the most interesting for me now) is it possible to change screen resolution of the screen without changing\replacing script.bin and rebooting? could we just avoid rebooting and somehow force linux to change resolution? 2. is it possible to boot from network for any of the boards and orange pi in particular? 3. to power up the boards could we use lipo accums like 18650 with step-up voltage converter? (i had a bad expierence in finding working image to my orange pi and it occurs that it was because of too long cable to the board, so it very sensitive to stable current i …

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..

This may be useful to some of you. I wrote some C code to talk to those common 2x16 LCD displays that are available in various colors from various vendors. My purpose in writing the code was to learn about the device and help document it better for other people to have an easier time using it. In my search for info, I only found poorly documented Python and Arduino code, so I thought I would write a C version and make it easy to read. You can find the code here: https://github.com/bitbank2/LCD1602

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?

Hi All, I'm a bit of a Debian newbie, I haven't had much experience troubleshooting linux installations, so please bear with me. I was able to follow Martin Michlmayr's instructions for installing Debian 10 on my TS-212. The TS-212 uses a Marvell ARM CPU, 256MB of ram, 16MB of SPI NOR flash. I also followed the instructions to resize the MTD blocks to make room for the Debian 11 kernel, although i never updated the kernel. Everything was working fine until I booted one day and I got flashing red lights on the front of the NAS. I hooked up to the debug serial port, and I find that the hard drive has all kinds of non-recoverable errors, and Debian …

Hello Everyone 🤗, I'm not too familiar with Armbian or ARM-based platforms in general. I'm working on an endeavour that calls for creating a unique kernel module, thus any advice or materials you could offer would be really helpful. This is a quick synopsis of the assignment and the difficulties I'm having: Project Synopsis: I'm using Armbian Buster on an Orange Pi 4. My objective is to create a unique kernel module that communicates with a particular piece of hardware—a temperature sensor attached to the I2C bus. The module's job is to read sensor data and provide user-space applications with access to it. Actions To Date: K…

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: …

Hey everyone, I flashed an SD card using Etcher and the latest armbian image for Orange Pi PC. I am using a Samsung 2A usb power supply + the official usb power cord. I'm not getting any output on the HDMI. Is this something I have to SSH to first? I removed a USB WiFi adapter and it seemed to work. I don't know why or how that could've caused an issue (since a different WiFi adapter seems to work just fine), but whatever, it works.19.99 euros to dollars

Hi, Curious if there's something like Intel ME that I can use to control my PC and use as a coprocessor when booted, maybe if it had a Coral TPU or something. I remember hearing something about a RPi CM4 base board that has a PCIe connector that can plug into a 1x or 2x slot. (Don't remember exactly which one.) Thanks in advance. edit: Also. Use it for GPIO and serial ports.

Hello all. As the question, I want to use the arduino board to detect the distance in three directions at once. the code compiled, uploaded are no problem, but can only return the data on the left, the middle and right are returned 0 value, I will be the left sensor code blocked can only return the data of the middle sensor, the right is still 0 value, the left and middle are blocked can return the data on the right , that is, the three ultrasonic sensors can That is, the three sensors can work separately, but can not return data together. That you have experience in this area to share, the code is as follows. const int left_Trig = 1; …

Hi, I wonder if anyone has experience using an sbc (or tv box) for remote controlling a server. I think the necessary pieces are there on many boards (many have camera inputs which could perhaps be used for video, it looks like some even have an hdmi in). I found this [1] project, but it uses some extra hardware I'd like to avoid. https://github.com/Fmstrat/diy-ipmi Has anyone done anything similar? Note I'm mostly looking into this to gain knowledge, not to put this in production in a real world situation.

On the main armbian.com page are three boards depicted as "Popular downloads". I was just wondering, what are the most popular downloads, perhaps the top five downloads over the past month? Might be interesting to someone looking for a popular and well supported board. Besides Raspberry Pi, that is...
