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.

Is there any plan to support linux server firmware for Orange Pi 3G-IOT-B ? here is for android only http://www.orangepi.org/downloadresources/

Hi, Please excuse me if this question has been brought up before, but I recently got a couple of Orange Pi 4G IOT boards, and I find the instructions for flashing Ubuntu lacking. So I wonder, does armbian work on this particular board? It would be awesome if I could flash it with armbian, and install the drivers for the modem later (as long as wifi works ofcourse so I can actually connect to it).

The Orange Pi 4G-IOT page suggest that board uses a 4g module, since in the pic its written "4g module" and an arrow point to a chip. But it's SoC MT6737 has an integrated cellular modem ! So does it uses a module or the integrated modem ? All the chips are covered with a metal shield, so I can't tell.

Hi, will there be support for Orange pi 4G-IOT? Thanks

Not sure if you guys are partnering with Orange Pi to produce the Orange Pi 800 OS...but just got mine in...fired it up and EVERYTHING was Armbian just re-branded as "Orange Pi" And uggh...all the apt sources were out of China...so trying to upgrade was CRAZY slow!

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?

Hello, I will be putting together an orange pi battle bot, post pictures of drafts and idea's for the bot and I will pay you commission through paypal for help.

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

First, I apologize if this is the wrong section of the forum for this question. I will keep watch on the response and learn for future posts. I apologize if I got it wrong. I was looking at Orange Pi devices on aliexpress and noticed the "Orange Pi i96 256MB Cortex-A5 32bit with WIFI and Bluetooth". Looks like a cool device, but I haven't found mention if it in the forum and it's not in the downloads section ... Will the Orange Pi i96 be included as a target device? And will the on-board WiFi be a disaster like the Orange Pi Zero on-board WiFI, or is it possible the i96 on-board WiFi will be usable? I really hope they learned from the zero an…

Hi All, I wonder if anyone ever succeeded in getting the USB 2.0 port of this board work properly. I'd like to (try to) use it as a *very* low cost ADS-B receiver using an external RTL-SDR dongle, but despite the fact that the port is claimed to be a 2.0 (and recognized by the OS as a 2.0 Hub) when I attach the dongle (which is a high speed 2.0) no driver are loaded and is instead recognized as a full speed device, therefore the RTL-SDR library stops working with transfer errors, since it needs the 480M transfer speed of the 2.0 port and is unable to work with the 12M speed of the "full" standard. Here is my dmesg | grep usb …

I have been searching the net for a display similar to this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Orange-Pi-7-inch-LVDS-LCD-Module-7-Touch-Screen-F-Raspberry-Pi-Car-GPS/1553371_32315435767.html . Unfortunately the original from the link is not available anymore and I am unable to find a good replacement. Does anyone have a good alternative they are using? Size wise a 7" or 10" (or even up to 12" :-) ) will do the job.. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I wanna build a working android image for the orange pi lite 2. I'm using the sdk orange pi provides for the lite 2 in there download section. (http://www.orangepi.org/downloadresources/OrangePi%20Lite2/2018-01-11/745c41cc4f26ba6afefb8ed9379885c0.html).

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. I like to connect the HD Web Camera using the USB 2.0 Port or USB 3.0 Port on to that board, and including setting up the Live-Stream using a Wi-Fi on my PC, so do you have Video Tutorial or Instructions for it . I don’t have Google drive so how can I download instructions for the Orange Pi Lite 2 H6 1GB Quad Core Development Board, Because the Orange Pi Forums is a joke, I can’t even chat to people on the forums when I am logged in, and I cannot Post my message in the forums regarding about technical help I need. So…

Yes - I'm here flailing about for clues (like person who can't swim in deep end of pool :-) ). I know, this is more of an Orange Pi/ I2C_sunxi thing, but OPI and Armbian go together, so... I have an oscilloscope that shows I2C-0 putting out clock bits with my LDC1314's '2A' address data just fine - up to the ninth clock. On the ninth clock - which follows clocks for bits 6,5,4,3,2,1,0,R/W - and should be where the slave responds with the ACK/NACK bit, the SDA line goes to 1/2Vcc - like the master is fighting the slave. It's like the device is trying its best to pull it low for an ACK, but the Master (OPI pin PA12) is not letting go. I have a pictur…

Hello Armbians, I am a newbie here so maybe this topic has been already discussed, if so just point me to it. Thank you. I have several TP Link routers (MR-3020, MR3420) that I would like to play with, especially usin serial connection. Since I am also a newbie in this area too I would like to know if it is possible to use Orange Pi Pc board or any other Orange board to connect to those routers separately without buying those little usb to uart ttl adapters. And if it is possible, which pins from Orange board to use, those 3 TTL pins or the others from the GPIO row. Thank you

Hi. I am developing an automation system and using raspberry pi 3 as server. But i dont want to use micro sd cards. So i bought an orange pi plus 2. But i dont know how can i use the 16gb memory of device. I am kinda new on linux. I need help with that. Have a nice day.

Want to know if some one succeded compiling ffmpeg with hw acceleration? Actually I'm looking for board which is good for Home Media Server with support for transcoding 1080p(4k? if any can) with good fps (24+) Already tried rpi3 results are not that good as i want 13fps for 720p x264 Hi10 5Mb/s bitrate=> 720p x264 5Mb/s bitrate So i think 1080p will be much slower. Do you think orange pi prime can handle this type of tasks well?

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 ? Is it possible to increase the transfer speed by using an external USB wifi ? On my android phone it gets even worse, even loading pictures from the opiz through ES File Manager lags a lot.

Hi, I just joined armbian forum. I have debian 8 xfce img from orange pi zero h2, will it work on banana pi zero h2?

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

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

Hi all, recently searching on how to connect raspberry pi 3.5 inches TFT display (wave share 's clone) .And lucky for me, i have success to make the display show up the console( according to this post ) Sorry for my bad English Thanks for reading this

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

I was using OPI3 as my home automation server for many months, very stable for me with Armbian. But now I've migrated to more powerful machine and my OPI3 got nothing to do So I'm thinking about connecting it to my TV and use as light linux desktop: web browser mainly. Does anyone use OPI3 2GB RAM like that? Is it powerful enough to handle browsing with 10 tabs for example? Or I should go for some cheap RK3399+4GB RAM (under $50) instead? What's your experience?

Hi there, I'm trying to better understand GPIO (in general) and to use what's available on the OrangePi Zero with Armbian. For the time being, I managed to get an I2C screen to work. Now, I'm about to try InfraRed (before using SPI). I already have the OrangePi extension hat (somewhere in the office), but it won't be really handy, as the IR receiver could be a feet away from the board, so I thought of using a general purpose IR receiver. I know there is a module pack listed on OrangePi store, but I'd like to get just the IR part... Is there a schema somewhere that lists the kind of circuit and part I should get? I was not able for the time being to …

In general I want to know, how many arm mainboards is it required to order and the manufacturer starts negotiating about specifications you want to get modified? I do not say at the same price. If I tell the manufacturer of the orange pi one, I want the arm mainboard but it must have 4gb ram and usb mini b connectors at what volume number does the manufacturer start listening? 50000 mainboards? Thank you.

On January 31st I decided to order two EspressoBIN boards with 2GB RAM each. What made me take the final decision was that the pfSense developers got pfSense running on the board (it's still in alpha, but it very much adds value to the board). In addition, Armbian's compatibility page (see the download page) lists two devices that I'm interested in: The USB3-to-Gbit Ethernet adapter. The Mini-PCIe-to-4-SATA-ports card. Note: This card will not be able to reach the full 6Gbit for SATA, but around 5Gbit, which is still quite good. And last but not least; Armbian of course needs some testers on this platform. Here are the t…

Today I had a chance to test OV5640 on mainline kernel 4.17.2 and see the status of OV5640 and CSI drivers, thanks to FE work and the author of the driver (help name here...). I tested on NanoPi K1 Plus (H5) to verify the images in very low light conditions, so don't expect good quality. I could take some images using fswebcam and you should expect basic v4l2 functionality already works if not all. I think motion (did not test / had time to test it) can work with current OV5640 on mainline kernel. Grabbing Image is very fast, currently, Image size I can get are 320x240 and 640x480 pixels, above this i get a dark image. I have not looked at the driver source cod…

This is my first impression with the ov8865, a 8MP sensor running on kernel 3.4.39 (linux-sunxi). I am running Banana Pi - M3 with the dual camera extension on Ubuntu Xenial rootfs and with the stock driver. The driver have not been touched because information is scarce and i asked @lvmc for some datasheet. This sensor is a 4 lane CSI2 (MIPI) that has a good performance at high resolution. I am able to get 30 FPS on all available win sizes. I have ran a small v4l2 application to have some benchmarks but guvcview with some minor update is able to display video from the sensor just as we have for the ov5640: TEST 0 ( 3264 x 2448 ) ---- cap parameters ----- width: 3…

Hi, is possible to setup overlayf on Amrbian? I'm using Orange Pi Zero. I found only this https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Advanced-Features/#how-to-freeze-your-filesystem-outdated and docs is outdated. On Rapsbian I can enable overlayfs directly from raspi-config. Is there any way how to do the same on Armbian? Thanks for help.

about COCKPIT in opposite to eg. Webmin does Cockpit edit just like you would in the configuration files. So it doesn't matter if you do any changes via SSH or via Cockpit.

I'm currently on the hunt for the cheapest decently reliable board to use for building a glusterfs cluster. Requirements are simple: GbE, SATA port, arm64, preferably low power. While helios64 is obviously the way to go for a NAS when it lands, it's totally overkill for a setup like this and I just realized that ODROID HC2 won't fly due to being 32-bit only. Most other 64-bit boards require expansion boards for SATA, which drags up the total cost. Finally I realized that the PC Engines APU boards fit all criteria, and come with what I understand to be performant GX-412TC CPUs. This one, for example, for 86EUR (maybe a bit on the pricey side, but I have…

Hi Igor and everybody. No access for ADC ? I try "modprobe adc" but no module ADC Thx

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 guys I have no time to test performace between armbian, retrorangepi and h3droid, does some one test the same app on the three system, does it run the same? I have now an armbian with kodi and retroarch that i'm using for test, but I'm planning to move to a more TV friendly OS as retrorangepi or h3droid. the main problem is Netflix, I should go for h3droid only for netflix app, but I want to be sure that retrorangepi and kodi works the same as on armbian/retrorangepi. and that the temps are the same. Can you help me if you had some experience? PS I know that I could run netflix on kodi but I didn't tested it. thank you in advance

Hi there, please apologize if this has been asked before, but I was not able to find a concise answer. I'm on a Cubox i4 pro using latest armbian.

Is there any performance gain or other advantage by using an installation to SATA or USB etc. via the armbian-config script? Thanks in advance, Christoph

Are clusters able to do anything useful yet? I'm vaguely aware of open stack and I know that googles server farms are full of consumer PCs all networked together and even people making RasPi clusters of varying sizes, but are they any good for normal uses? For example if I bought 10 OPi PC's and stuck them in a case with an Ethernet switch and a hard drive could I build Armbian really really quickly (typing make -j40 would be nice ;-) or would it ultimately just get bogged down and do nothing?

Since I've a pile of these boards lying about, and really prefer a proper case to a plastic one, I have one particular one that stood out to me: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079CF5FNX/ The case is aluminum, with machined end blocks and a perforated top. This would be my recommendation for any hot board like the Tinker Board, and to be honest the one I bought is quite nicely put together, with a somewhat industrial feel. Does anyone else have a favorite? I'm not really talking about those zebra cases or open-air acrylic/standoff sandwiches.

I've done some load testing of my first prototype power "mezzanine" board (can't say "hat") The voltage drop of powering the RPi touchscreen off of the GPIO while the tinker is on micro-USB is insane, I was reading 3.9 Volts on the USB ports when I ran minerd --benchmark. I may have finally worn out the Micro-USB connector... This is a project for learning the ins and outs of kicad and get an idea of the capabilities of the PCB houses I have reasonably fast access to (Chinese ones unfortunately always get stuck in customs for a week or more on top of the normal shipping and fab times, so the cost savings is lost in time) I have some more interesting thing…

Today I would give my original Banana Pi (A20 / 1GB Ram) a new life/work and installed for testing armbian Bionic dev with kernel 4.17 (for not trashing my normal Pihole - a OPi PC2 with armbian stretch) After installing armbian bionic I did try to install Pihole via curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash but it "crashes" while starting dnsmaq - because it seems to collide with resolved at Port 53 see as reference : https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/issues/2179 After this reference I did edit /etc/systemd/resolved.conf and inserted DNSStubListener=no as a active line.

Hi all, I have a Rpi 3B+ where I am running Pihole with Unbound. As a secondary DNS, I am planning to use an Odroid HC1 which will also be running other stuff. Today I installed Armbian_20.05.7_Odroidxu4_buster_current_5.4.50_minimal.img and started the installation of Pihole, which went through just fine. Then I attempted to install Unbound, but got an error message. The command I run was: sudo apt install unbound -y And this is what was returned: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following additional packages will be installed: libevent-2.1-6 libpython3.7 libunbound8 unbound-anchor Su…

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

For those of you following my saga.... Here is the preview of Pine64+ with OV5640. Driver needs some work, but i have something working. Xenial LTS - kernel 3.10.102 - aarch64 Guvcview window res: 2592x1936 window res: 1280x720 window res: 640x480 fswebcam 640x480 1280x720

Yesterday I did start to install armbian trixie iot on my Pinebook. Second part in debian - after the u-boot) starts, but then the Pinebook shuts off, because of a low battery(?) I did charge the whole day and powered off in the evening. Today the Pinebook stand on my table with a swollen battery. I removed it and happily it doesnt crash anything else than the battery holder. But now it doenst boot up complete like with a low battery. After the u-boot debian trixie does boot , but at the middle of the messages it does shutdown Can it run completly without battery? I have normally a 5V/2Ah power-supply connected and that did work the las…

nothing for pinephone ?

dear community i am so glad to be here on this great forum - this is a great place. i have installed Armbian on a. banana pi b. orange-pi and futhermore i will try to install it on Udoo Quad at the moment i am workin on a new plan: i am planning a Wi-Fi controlled rc-car using Arduino UNO, ESP8266 Websockets or UDP the question that arises here. how would you decide? i want to create an Arduino project about a Wi-Fi controlled (ESP8266) RC car using. - with a tight budget you can’t really buy everything you need at once. what is needed: An Arduino UNO An ESP8266 An L298N motor driv…

I need help creating the Armbian image file, I downloaded the desktop version for the Banana Pi M2+ when I unzip the file I get a .raw image which my win32diskimager does not see. Im used to creating files .img onto the SD card but I don't know how to deal with a .raw file. what am I missing? Thank you in advanced.

I need: *fast proc *at least 2GB ram *gigabits ethernet *nativ Sata or USB3 *I don't need wifi or bluetooth *good armbian support I want to use this server with: Owncloud, openvpn, deluge-torrent, rpi-monitor, minidlna, samba

Hello! Sorry for too high-level description, I'm not an experienced embedded engineer, just an enthusiast. I'm going to try to run a project to build an affordable home video recorder/player and I need a brief insight on the current ones available. I'm currently using A20 and I'm looking for a possible more powerful solutions. Requirements: - At least twice powerful computing power comparing to A20 - Video chip with hardware acceleration support in Linux (not planning to use Android) - SATA with at least 40 Megabytes per second throughput (NOT crappy usb<->sata built-in adapters) - Network stack with at least 300Mbps bandwidth that does NOT affect C…

Please tell me how to install IMX462 MIPI CAMERA so that it is recognized by NAS SDK 3588. Since I am a beginner, I cannot configure DTS or create a driver. I need help. Linux ARM Kernel Architecture - Patchwork I think there is a patch related to imx462 here, but I don't know how to use it. Please tell me how to use it.

This could be old news, but my plex update today threw a message out on the console (apt upgrade) that official armv7 and armv8 packages are available. This should be a pretty solid performance boost for most of us I would imagine, the old packages were fro armel NAS boxes. Testing it out on my XU4.

I do not wish to make this too political. But I do often get the question if we can trust all the images from board makers security wise. I personally try many images. I only use Hardkernel images on my Odroids. On my NVIDIA Jetson Nano I of course use the image from NVIDIA since it's got all the goodies. But on all other boards I use Armbian. Either official Armbian, or Balbes Armbian. I wanted to hear your thought about this.

Wouldn't it be easier to simply ask for it? I mean I would not tell but hey...

Jared McNeill is porting NetBSD to H3 SoCs now tested with NanoPi NEO and Orange Pi Plus 2E http://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/porting_netbsd_to_allwinner_h3

Pistar is convenient for hammers but too bad it only support select few arm sbc . I looked into the official site and found no clue of compiling custom image. Any enthusiast porting this thing to more sbc eg s905 ?

@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.

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…

hi ya all . i have orangepi one with armbian set up as web site server ... All good seems stable and cool despite being housed in the little cardboard box it arrived in. Now because I am on alternative power and sometimes this is in greater supply than others I would really like to reduce power consumption as much as possible Not interested in reducing processor power or memory speed or other things that may impact on its primary task of serving web pages and processing php. however the only connections to the board are ethernet and power I do not want or need any graphics camera USB or whatever nor do i need any services other than ssh and …

I would like to raise the "issue" of power supply units. Indeed, they are the key component of all what we build, it is also a security issue (what happens at full load) and it seems to me quite difficult to distinguish between the numerous PSU over the market. I am just an newbie on this topic, just willing to get a stable, silent (I mean without annoying sharp noise, not talking about cooling fans) and safe PSUs. I found this page http://lygte-info.dk/info/ChargerIndex UK.html which is the beginning of what could help. Most of us probably already own a charger adapter, I just wonder if "charger adapter" is just a…

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 everyone, I would like to pick the brains of our fellow armbianers about powering the small boxes. My experience is that quality of the outlet, the in-the-wall circuit line, the health of the power strip, the actual voltage out of the plug, etc ... very much matter. How to best plug a system made of 5-6 devices (sbc+hard-drive+sata multiplier, dac, usb hub, usb wifi keys). Does phase, pluging orientation change something ? Is it possible to monitor via software the quality of the power signal from within the SBCs ? Interferences ? What kind of off the shelf instruments can help to monitor the power signal ? Do ferrites help ?…
