Hi! Sorry if it is already covered but I didn't find a complete answer on the subject on the forum... So I have activated the uart3 overlay and enable CTS and RTS on an own-build Armbian 5.27 dev flavor for my NanoPi NEO Air. But I was unable to get the AP6212 Bluetooth working, I've try some infos/commands found elsewhere without any luck My question: Is Bluetooth on Nanopi NEO Air (or any H3 board with AP6212) still WIP on Armbian? Thanks. Emmanuel.

I'm trying to establish usb serial communication between an Orange Pi PC2 H5 running armbian and a samsung galaxy note 4. I'm configuring the micro USB port on the Orange Pi with libcomposite and opening up an acm port. On the android end I'm using a library by mik3y (https://github.com/mik3y/usb-serial-for-android) to establish the communication. The trouble that I'm running into getting Android drivers to support USB serial communication with the H5. I may just be just configuring the orange pi wrong.

Hi, I have an Orange PI Lite on to which I'd like to install the latest Armbian release. I had Armbian Xenial installed on the Pi Lite quite some time ago for test purposes and put it to one side while I got hardware for my Pi Lite set up for its intended use. I wiped the SD card and I was ready to download, install and set up the latest Armbian Xenial on my Orange Pi Lite when I notice the sub-heading "desktop legacy kernel 3.4.y". I'm not sure if this description appeared previously but my question is does this mean that this version, i.e. "Armbian Xenial desktop legacy kernel 3.4.y", although currently supported is no longer being updated and will theref…

Hi, Since latest update just a few days ago (Linux bananapi 4.5.5-sunxi) , the bananpi keeps telling me this: [ 5 updates to install: apt-get upgrade] . When i try to upgrade there arent anything to upgrade. In did apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and nothing to upgrade. I manually execute /etc/update-motd/40-updates and its true that it says that there are 5 updates. So there must be something there that its not chaning. Any tips on this? EDIT: ok i just fixed this by manually editing the file /var/cache/apt/archives/updates.number and setting it to 0 but i think this should be automatic and it wasn't working for some reason.

AFAIK, from last year, there are some new driver for AXP209/202 PMU for mainline kernel. One of the main new features that i really like is custom sampling frequency compared to the original driver for linux kernel 3.4 (i just remember the interval are 2 seconds). I want to use AXP209 PMU for power/energy profiling and consumption study of some SBC such as Banana Pi/Pro and some other Allwinner based SBC as comparison. The question is How i want to know current sampling frequency from PMU and how to change the frequency? (25, 50, 100 or 200Hz) What is the reasonable/best practice to write the captured power consumption value (with timestamp) into some logf…

Hi everybody, I work on my Orange Pi Plus 2 since a few days now. I've installed Armbian with linux Kernel 3.4 (Debian Jessie) on eMMC. One of my main objectives is to bond the WiFi and the Ethernet interfaces in one interface called bond0 (I've seen many examples on how to do this on the Internet). My configuration seems to be good (it's based on the default interfaces.bonding file, just changed it with my WiFi parameters). When I restart networking service, none of my interfaces get up. I've tried to update/upgrade my stystem, reinstall ifenslave. I've also checked module list with lsmod, it returns a lot of names, but not "bonding" module. …

I originally installed Armbian_5.38_Orangepizeroplus_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.14.14 I got NTP with PPS up and running on UART2 with PPS on PA3 I have a working backup image of this. I then used armbian-config to boot from USB disk and I installed a LAMP stack and battled to get a DB up and running. My mistake was upgrading the kernel before making a backup. My version is now ARMBIAN 5.38 stable Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS 4.14.48-sunxi64 NTP and PPS no longer work. Is there a way to downgrade the kernel without having to go back to the backup and battle with the DB config again? I'm a Linux newb so please make allowances for my ignorance. I have searched for sev…

Hello armbian forum, I have an Orange PI Win plus with armbian desktop legacy kernel 3.10.y on it. I also have a extension board from my Raspberry 1 which I want to use. The Problem is that the extension board needs the pins 8 & 10 for UART communication. I read already that UART(2) over pin 8 & 10 is used for Bluetooth? I don't need Bluetooth and want to disable it to free up the pins. Uart1 Pin 38 & 40 and Uart3 Pin 11 & 13 are working finde. How can I make this? With overlays or editing the .dts files?

I'm trying to disable IPv6 on my NanoPi Neo2. Initially I used the option in armbian-config -> Network -> IPv6 (toggle).

So I tried the same on Zero compiling wiring for H3/H2. My code is basic in Python: import time import wiringpi import pyA20 as GPIO cykl = 1 wiringpi.wiringPiSetupGpio #or wiringPiSetup() wiringpi.pinMode(1,0) while cykl == 1 : do_call = wiringpi.digitalRead(1) if do_call: print 'pressed' time.s…

Hello, I run Debian/Jessie on a bananapi pro. The board suddenly stopped working completely. When I plug the power supply, the red led shows up (not blinking) and nothing more, no sign of activity at all, like on screen (hdmi). It is very surprising as it has been running very well for two years now, with a 5V/3A power supply and a sandisk SD card (like those advised). I checked that the sd card runs well on my laptop, the filesystem was not broken and no sign of corruption so far, especially in the /boot directory, no changes made lastly in this directory : latest modification dater are a few months ago. …

I know it's a dev build but I hope that it's just a missing config file from that build branch or something. Thanks TB

I'm running "Armbian_5.34.171121_Orangepizeroplus2-h5_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.13.14.img" on an OrangePi Zero 2+ H5. Lots of testing was done with the OS installed on and running from the SDCard. I've solved the board's overheating problems by installing a 30 x 30 x 7 mm Heatsink, plus a 50mm USB Powered Centrifugal Blower Fan. At long last the board runs happily at temperatures typically up to about 40 degrees C at light to medium CPU loads, and at around 65 degrees C when the CPU is pushed to 100% utilisation. With this cooling solution, the board has been reliably running PiHole for about two months now. The 50mm fan and the big heat sink are not a very …

The topic is no longer new, but I have not found the reason and its solution! If you turn off the power (just pull out the wire) then you can get a non-working system. As I noticed, the files opened at the time of launch are broken. And some files such as /etc/boot/armbianEnv.txt in general, they are recorded with some kind of garbage!!! Because of this, your settings fly off! For example, I use ttys1 and this option is registered armbianEnv.txt , but after the power loss, there is just terrible garbage in this file, as if the memory dump fell there!!! For example, I still use dotnet, so it also breaks down and does not start anymore!! When y…

Hello, about a month ago I got MangoPi QM-Quad - quite nice board, but with small support. Hardware specification: https://mangopi.org/mqquad Review: https://bret.dk/initial-mangopi-mq-quad-comparison/ I needed a raspberry pi zero board with usb-c with both host and otg ports and external wifi antenna - so after some consideration I want with Mango-Pi QM-Quad. Sadly after some work with available distributions I finally give up with trying to compile / build everything I needed and moved to getting Armbian to run on the board. Thankfully board is almost identical with orangepi-zero2 - so modification with edge kernel only required m…

Hi, Running on Armbian_community 24.8.0-trunk.529 Bookworm with Linux 6.6.43-current-sunxi64 onthe orangepi zero3 And need to use the GPIO pins with python, not an expert here but have tried a few recommandations with no luck. Can anyone suggest method that works with the above OS/build please? Thanks! Rob.

Hi, I'm running fine my Orange Pi PC+ with an external HDD since many years and decided to switch to an 1Tb SSD recently. SSD enclosure has it's own power supply. After few hours/days my OPi is not responding using SSH, and ethernet adapter is like frozen. Unpluging the ethernet cable generaly resolve the problem. What could it be related to ?

Hello! I've built my own sbc using the Allwinner H3 chip, and I'm looking to get a custom armbian image running on it. I've already successfully compiled an image by adding a new config to u-boot and armbian-build, and a device tree to the linux kernel. Now I'm looking to get the WiFi working, but I can't seem to find where I can change its pin definitions. I'm using the AP6212: the SDIO pins are connected to SDC1 (aka mmc1) like every other board, but the WL_REG_ON (aka WL-PMU-EN) and WL_HOST_WAKE (aka WL-WAKE-AP) pins are connected to GPIO pins different from all other boards, so I'll need to change their pin assignments in the kernel manually. B…

I am not able to run this on Cubietruck. Just struck on starting kernel.......it does not go beyond this. I have tried both 3.4 and 4.1 kernels...... Thanks.

Hi @Igor you should consider changing imagetool when you ship your image files since the Suse image tool is quite broken on Windows platforms 8 or higher since its often just gives a blank non function interface that crashes upon pressing buttons. Perhaps Rufus would be a better alternative

I'm currently playing with a Banana Pi M1 + and don't seem to be able to get the GPIO to work. I *think* that I have correctly mapped the IO pins that I am using through the schematic and fex file to find the corrisponding GPIO number for debian. When playing around in /sys/class/gpio I am able to export the GPIO pin that I'm looking for and change it's properties, direction, value etc. However these changes don't seem to appear on the physical IO pins. I noticed that some of the pins that I'm using are shared by UART 2, so I have disabled that in the FEX file but still no luck. I have a feeling that this is probably going to be DTB related, however I'm a …

I have a variety of boards - an OrangePiPlus, a hummingboard, a RaspberryPi, a RaspberryPi2 that I can test - as well as a bunch of other boards that are not supported. I am an embedded linux developer so I have reasonable competence with building kernels, writing drivers, scripting .... I would be interested in helping with testing and fixing things atleast with those boards that I have available to me. But I could use some clues. Is there a developers guide to Armbian ? Something that lays out how the build process works ? Or does one just jump in ? As an example it does not appear that install-nand-state is working for either the legacy or vanila…

Hello, When I try to connect the orange pi to a wifi network the orange pi crashes and restarts. The error that occurs is this Error

Hi, my new OPI zero arrived today. I downloaded and installed armbian (Armbian_5.24_Orangepizero_Debian_jessie_3.4.113) and updated everything apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get dist-upgrade Finally I tried to connect to my wlan (FritzBox 7390, 2,4Ghz, WPA2) via nmtui. After a while I get the message: Could not activate connection: Activation failed I tried to connect to my Smartphone via hotspot instead and that worked fine. Both networks are using WPA2 encription and other settings in both WLAN settings are looking identical... Did I miss something? I uploaded my armhwinfo log here Marcel

Hi all, I'm a n00b e to the SBCs and linux I've bought my very first SBC:orange pi PC, and it arrived the day before after some struggling with the "connection refused" error (just resolve it by opening the remote login inside preference>sharing on my macOS 10.12) I finally enter the login screen, and use the command "ssh root@169.254.134.132" to my terminal it denied my password request I'm sure the password I've used is 1234, but whatever I used this, or restart my computer, using the desktop version, even changing other workable SD card, it still get the same result. (I'm not going to use the nightly version, seems it doesn't get any end sup…

I think I know the answer to this but I'll ask anyways. Is there any command line software out there (e.g., VLC) that I could put onto an Armbian Server Edition version that would show a movie out on the HDMI port? I have a NanoPi M1 that has a HDMI port. But I'm assuming that without all the Desktop video driver, it isn't possible to do this on a headless server.

Hello. Is there a way of resetting the USB subsystem in Armbian for Orange Pi Zero? I don't want to unplug and plug a USB device or reboot the system just to reset the plugged USB devices. The above is doable on a PC running Ubuntu with something like this: $: cd /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd $: ls 0000:00:14.0 bind module new_id remove_id uevent unbind $: echo -n "0000:00:14.0" > unbind $: echo -n "0000:00:14.0" > bind Wondering if something similar (I don't really care if the solution is not similar) is doable on Armbian for OPIZ. Cheers!

Hi everyone, I got a problem with my beloved Armbian. I switched form a (SD-killing) Pi1 to a OrangePi. Everything runs fine except my Busware SCC (a RF interface for Homematic home automation). The module sits on the extension header and uses Pins 8 and 10 for the UART as well as pins 11 for reset and pin 12 for the bootloader. For the device to work normaly, pin 11 (GPIO17 on the rpi) has to be set high, else the device will stay in reset. Pin 12 I just left as it was on the rpi, the manual says I'm running ARMBIAN 5.36 with kernel 4.13.16-sunxi. If I understood it correct, pin 11 should be GPIO1. To set it high, I use the following code in r…

Hi, we've been running 5.31 with VDPAU support for a long time now, and I've tried to "apt-get dist-upgrade" to newer version of Armbian.

Hello, I want to use a 595N serial shift IC with my cubietruck over SPI. I tested it with a raspberry pi and it worked. But I want to use the SPI ports of my cubietruck to read sensor data and process some output over the 595N. But I didn't find a good documentation, how to enable SPI support on armbian with a cubietruck.

Hello i have a 7 inc LCD with HDMI board, but i couldn't use the screen.

I'am running the latest Stretch server version on a PiOne (Linux 4.14.65-sunxi). I think that something is going wrong with the logrotate. The rotation is done in /var/log.hdd directory (see also the scripts in /etc/logrotate.d/). But the original file of each is in /var/log directory and is not "cleared" after the rename, because it is not renamed. So, if Zram copies /var/log directory to the /var/log.hdd directory, the original file in /var/log with old logging and included new logging is written to the /var/log.hdd directory. In the next logrotate this growing file is compressed. In this situation/in my case the compressed files contains all the loggings and no…

Is there a kernel package with PREEMPT-RT for OrangePi PC Plus? I'm trying to get linuxcnc running - which works, but without USB. I used this guide: https://orangecnc.gitlab.io/quick-start.html. Kernel there is 5.4.18, which has the USB-not-working-bug for Orange Pi Plus.

Hello, I'm sort of an "educated noob" on Linux, meaning I understand about 1/2 of the postings in forums like this one. And I seem to have a problem. I am using Armbian Buster on an Orange Pi One Plus. After the most recent (to me) batch of updates, the machine will no longer boot. The error is: "Gave up waiting for root file system device." This occurs after numerous instances of "Running /scripts/local-block", (which does not seem to exist), and is followed by "ALERT! UUID=[valid UUID] does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" The "shell" it pro-ports to drop into is mythical, I assume because no keyboard driver has eve…

I've been using pyA20 as H3 gpio library in Orangepi. Recently we've moved to nanoPi M1 . But the problem is H3 on nanoPi has more gpio pins than orangePi and A20 gpio library does not recognize these pins. Is there any H3 gpio library like pyA20 available ? (Please note WiringOPI is for C not python) Thanks.

Hi all, any advice to enable i2s audio in mainline kernel? I'm on 5.23 cubietruck mainline v4.8.6. Cant find any reference to write DTS...any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Hi Sometimes after heavy disk writes like disk speed test (iozone) or database writes or install new packages the file system get read only and I not able to run any command even reboot and I have to disconnect power. My pi is a orange pi pc (H3) and I installed a relatively cheap micro sd card on it.

Hi all, I'm trying to put my orange pi zero to talk with a CAN BUS via mcp2515 chip. The chip is SPI controlled. The actual image does not have support for SocketCAN enabled, so I'm compiling the kernel with SocketCan following the kernel configuration shown here https://developer.ridgerun.com/wiki/index.php/How_to_configure_and_use_CAN_bus I'm using the cross-compiler tool from the armian website. After the image is burned to the sdcard and the orange pi zero is booted, I can see the image has can support enabled, but when I load the mcp251x driver it does nothing. I'm sure I'm missing some detail on spi side in order to have the mcp driver pointing to th…

When I have to use Jessie version dev with kernel NEXT 4.13.5. The alsamixer have different options to setup audio compare to ARMBian with stable kernel 3.x I must switch on DAC Reversed to have audio output in speakers.

Hi, sorry for my english. I have an orange pi plus 2 and i try to turn it's wifi module on ap mode. I install hostapd et and set config lines in /etc/network/interfaces. After reboot the OPI can't finish the starting. I mean it's boot and one second after login line appear, the screen display lot of lines and it reboot again. What can be the problem? Any help? PS: The system is Ubuntu server installing on EMMC. My power supplie is 5V - 2,5 A (So i think it's not a power issu).

orange pi one First the orange pi one was connected to a 1280 x 720 hdmi display. Then I connected by hdmi to vga converter the orange pi one to a 1024 x 768 vga display. Orange pi one keeps the 1280 x 720 resolution. And another resolution cannot be set in menu display. How can I set resolution to 1024 x 768? Thank you.

dear friends i used 20 Opi zero with armbian 5.38 for communicating over ttyS1 to Megatec UPS devices boards should send string on baud rate 2400 to UPS with RS232-To-TTL and get answer and work normally for the first time bur after a while serial stop transmitting data at all restart , stop-start ,... not fix problems the only way to fix the problem is connecting ttl to rs232 to pc and connect to serial with putty after that serial started send and receiving data and can use to communicate to ups devices i faced this problems on 9 of 20 boards programming language in python Thank you in advance!

Recently I tested armbian stretch for orange pi lite2. If there is not other task except system, there work fine. But if there are some high cpu tasks, such as unzip, the system load will go high, and not go to lower level when task done. When the system load is higher than 4, the response of the system is laggy, when go higher, the system will go no response. I use uptime to test the system load, when boot, the 1min load will be at 3.xx and go down slowly. When no task, the load will lower than 0.5.

Hi, I compiled the newest version of u-boot. Then I updated it at my sd card via: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1k count=1023 seek=1 dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1024 seek=8 dd if=u-boot.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1024 seek=40 Now u-boot starts and I'll get to the message "Starting kernel ..." and nothing happens. Do I have to recompile the Kernel or did I something wrong? Edit: I did it on my NanoPi Neo2
