I have a NanoPi Neo and I'm currently looking to find out if the I2S pins can be set up as basic GPIOs? I can't find their names, (i.e. PA17) so not sure where to even begin with regards to tinkering the kernel. Any help appreciated! http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/images/c/c4/NEO_pinout-02.jpg

Hi, I built Armbian (bionic) from source for Orange Pi PC 2 and everything went through fine. I burn to SD card and load it on the board and it boots well. Then I use "root" to login and forced to change password from default 1234 to somepass. Everything seemed fine until I tried to login with the new password (old password failed to work anymore). The errors are in following screen shot. Kinda new to this stuff, not sure how to fix it. Tried to connect to serial port but somehow a couple of TTL cable all failed to work. Still struggling. Please help!

Hello Everyone, I would like to play with my A20 board a bit and would like to use the GPIOs. I checked the forum but it's still not clear what to do and how.

Can the Audio port on the Orange Pi Win Plus A64 also output video (like TV output)? It seems like most of the orange Pi boards with an audio jack can do this and the CubieTruck (which is an A20 board) can do the same as well. Please let me know ASAP. Thanks!

Hi. After 2 years uptime it disconnected from wifi and was unable to reconnect even after reboot. I suspect my AC adapter has degraded. Can this SBC measure the voltage? Upd: saw this post: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/112122/wifi-not-connecting-depending-on-power-supply I use NetworkManager and when it starts it usually cannot connect to wifi saying that the pre-shared key is wrong, marking the connection as failed and not re-trying. In particular, the log contained a failed "asking for new key" message. Re-starting the service or manually activating the connection worked. As a workaround I created a *.conf file in …

Hi. I have received my new Neo Core and would like to flash my image to eMMC. I tried nand-sata-install but it says there is no target. On the Friendly Arm site they have a utility called eflasher, but I think this does not support Armbian. Is there a way to do it or a guide that I have missed? Thanks. J.

Libre software refers to the free software foundation's guidelines. Can you make an entirely libre software armbian version work on the orange pi one or other orange pi computers? How good will it work? About the orange pi one which devices will not work if only libre armbian software is installed? Notice this https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bootlin/allwinner-vpu-support-in-the-official-linux-kernel/description If orange pi computers can work using libre software armbian, then how do they boot? Do they use uboot? Thanks.

Hi, so without knowing what the swappiness actually is I changed the value from 100 to 512. Since then, I can't boot my Banana Pi M2 Zero. Shortly after that, I remembered again: swappiness is the percentage of how often to use swap and not the maximum amount of storage. Can I repair it inside uboot? Can I plug the sd card into my PC and edit the files there? Here is the log from the serial console.

Hi there. I've got the problem with boot from emmc when empty SD card is installed. Opi PC+ Armbian (debian 9 stretch) Kernel 5.4.20-sunxi I've moved OS from SD to emmc using armbian-config util, then format SD with fat and now when I power on my OPi without SD card all is ok, but when SD installed boot get stuck with error "Script failed", unknown device...

Hi guys, I've searched for some days now, but couldn't find any infos. My problem is: If I want to boot my Orange Pi Zero without Ethernet, it just wont start. It seems like it is waiting for me to put in the cable. This can't be normal, can it? I ask, because, what am I supposed to do if I like my device to connect exclusively through WiFi? Or connect to nothing at all, till I need some type of connection. For me, it is important to connect only through WiFi at the moment. The OS's I've tried: Armbian Debian Jessie "mainline" and "legacy", no difference between them. Thanks, Pyro

Hello. I have problem with SSH on Armbian 23.8 Bookworm Orange Pi 3 LTS.

Hi you all. I'm trying for a couple of day now to solve an annoying problem with the USB and some Bananapi M2 zeros. I have two cluster-hats with 4 Bananapi M2 zeros as nodes. The cluster hat presents itself as a USB gadget (USB ethernet interface) to the nodes allowing networking between the controller and the nodes. The nodes work fine with kernel 5.9.8, the modules identify the hat as a network interface and everything works as expected. My trouble is that I'm creating new images for the nodes (bananapi m2 zero) from here, the nodes boots, but it seems like the OTG port is not behaving as expected. Followed instructions from these posts:…

Hi Guys, a few weeks ago, I implemented a project wich reads the power sources of my Banana Pi. I was using /sys/power/axp_pmu/. I now made a new build to enable lcd display and such things. But now /sys/power/axp_pmu/ isn't there. Also can't find it anywhere in my system. Only /sys/power/{pm_async, pm_freeze_timeout, state, wakeup_count} Kernel of new build is 4.8.0 What have I to do, to get axp_pmu back? Martin

Hey, I recently decided to give the 22.11 a try on my M1, but I can't get my sata SSD to be the system root and boot again. 18.04 it worked for me with the exact same setup. I used this: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#how-to-install-to-emmc-nand-sata-nvme-usb went with armbian-install only option for me was boot from SD and system on sata. But after the preparation of the ssd, the reboot always runs into emergency mode with not really good hints how to solve, or what even the issue is. Any tips or hints are welcomed.

I've got a Sony RX100VA camera that I want to connect to the NanoPi Neo2 running Armbian Buster.

Hi guys, today i wanted to access my BPi with armbian installed remote with SSH. Terminal says: port 22: Connection refused. I'm able to ping the BPi.

Hi all, I'm working with a BPI-P2 board. I installed the last Armbian version for BPI-M2 as the two boards are basically the same except the RJ45 connector and the eMMC. I installed it on an SD card, and everythig worked perfectly. Now I need to put the OS on the eMMC and then completely remove the SD card, but I'm struggling. The default Armbian for BPI-M2 is not intended to support eMMC, so I'm not surprised that with this version the eMMC dosn't show up. So I tried to modify the dtb and enable the eMMC nodes, and then reboot. Here the changes I made: mmc@1c10000 { reg = < 0x1c10…

Hello Armbian community. Recently, I decided do try new distros for the Cubieboard 2. and Armbian seemed to be a really good option. However, just booting the latest image started to cause problems. After writing the image with the proper software on a proper SD card as mentioned by this webpage, it just doesn't work at all. To be brief, I took pictures of what appears on the screen, first being what seems like to be an error displayed by text, then a really messed up screen, and finally the board shutting down by itself. I would appreciate any help or recommendations regarding this issue.

I have started the latest version of Armbian available for this board (Armbian_19.11.6_Bananapi_bionic_current_5.4.8) and after the initial configuration the "/boot/armbianEnv.txt" file has the following added lines: fdtfile=sun7i-a20-bananapi-m1-plus.dtb overlays=spi-add-cs1 spi-spidev param_spidev_spi_bus=0 I have rebooted but I am unable to use the spidevX.Y under the "/dev" folder. What am I missing? NOTE: I have tried several combinations of values on the armbianEnv.txt configuration file (ie: using only overlays flags without the other ones, using only the spi-spidev flag,…

Hi. I've installed Xenian Server on cubieboard1. Host connected to LAN/Internet. I can do apt-get update/install, but I cannot ping the host inside LAN (time out). May be the reason any fw rules on clean system?

I'm trying to use PA18/PA19 for custom purposes. I need to put these pins to Input state without any pullups/pulldowns. What I can achieve is: to put these pins to input state via the command: gpio mode 30 in gpio mode 31 in ("tri" instead of "in" does not work, it accepts the command, but a multimeter shows the input is still high, as well as gpio readall) These pins are probably pulled high because they are I2C pins. I want to disable the I2C functionality but have not found any means to do so. I have tried this dts script: ##### /dts-v1/; / { compatible = "allwinner,sun8i-h3","allwinner,sun50i-h5","friendly…

Hi, I have a problem with an OrangePi that I have set up to host Octoprint for my 3d printer. It connects to the wifi just fine(receives wifi IP and I can ping e.g. google.com), but this is all checked through a serial interface, because I can not connect via my network(through SSH) and I can not see the webserver that Octoprint should host. I can't even ping the OrangePi from my computer. What solves the problem for me is to ping my computer from the OrangePi(via serial console). First then I can connect via SSH and see the web page or ping the OrangePi from my computer. If I plug in ethernet to the OrangePi, there is no problem. I have searched …

It has debian 8(jessie) server version 3.4.112-sun8i on it. It is updated to the latest version(apt-get update, upgrade). Caps Lock functionality works, but the light on the keyboard does not light up. I tried the keyboard on another computer, tried different keyboards. I am using this to get back the cursor. I found it here: http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/1246-terminal-console-cursor-disappeared-after-apt-upgrade/ Could it have caused it? Anyone having the same issue?

Hello, everyone. I need a case for the orange pi 5b with compartments for 2 or more 2.5 HDDs. Maybe someone has an stl file for a 3d printer? or a 2D drawing.

Hi, Did anybody play with Cedrus on the recent kernels? I'm going to play with it on Bananapi m1, kernel 5.4 and Ubuntu Bionic. Should I just got step-by-step using this instructions http://linux-sunxi.org/Sunxi-Cedrus ? The goal is to evaluate whether this is suitable solution for video surveillnace. I'd used kerberosio with an IP camera for couple years and this does not work good with motion detection.

How do I enable the cgroup memory controller on Armbian? I’m trying to control memory usage on my orange pi one using systemd with a unit file as follows: [Service] Slice=influxGroup.slice MemoryAccounting=true MemoryHigh=100M MemorySwapMax=250M The command systemd-cgls confirms that the influxGroup.slice has been created, yet memory is not controlled in line with the parameters in the unit file. I think the issue may be that cgroup memory controller is not enabled. I haven’t done anything to enable it, but I did notice that dmesg appears to indicate an enable statement in the kernel parameters: [ 0.000000] Kernel…

Hi, I have a question regarding the new Banana Pi (A20) boot script created in Armbian 5.25. Many months ago I switched my roots from the SDCard to the sata disk using the sata-nand-install script, after that I used to switch between SD and HDD and vice versa, mostly for maintenance operations on the HDD (sometime the system gets corrupted and I have to restore the HDD partition with e2fsck from the SD). Until Armbian 5.20 I used to edit the boot.cmd file pointing to the desired root device, recompile the boot.scr and then the system were loaded from the desired partition. Now with Armbian 5.25 I'm not sure which file I have to edit to …

Hi, I'm using an hdd at my cubietruck and moved the root-fs to hdd. Now I'm wondering, whether it would be better, to change the commit settings in /etc/fstab to a lower value than 600? I assume, the 600 was meant for data on a flash storage in order to reduce the writes on it!? But in order to keep "things in sync", shouldn't I better reduce it? Or delete the whole commit option? What do you mean? Thanks and best regards, Jochen

These boards are well suited to routing/network traffic control functionality. Currently the kernel has been compiled with Traffic Control stuff disabled, which makes it impossible to perform traffic shaping on stock Armbian kernel. I'm busy recompiling the kernel as a temporary solution, but I will really appreciate it if the kernel build maintainer can please change the traffic control options from DISABLED to MODULE (at least)? I have a bunch of Armbian boards but I'm testing with NanoPi Neo 2 right now. --- I'll let you know the size of the modules once I've finished compiling.

Hi, during the spring I used h3disp - 720p50 -c 1 (on 5.24 with sunxi-tools 1.4.2) to change the resolution for my desktop but today when I did a clean install (armbian 5.30 Jessie Default) I get Unsupported board/kernel combination: Orange Pi Zero running 3.4.113-sun8i. Exiting Is there still a way to change the resolution (720x576 is too low for the gui app I need to run)? Thanks in advance! Nicke

Hello, I'm working on a project which include a microcontroller and a NanoPi NEO Core running Armbian FriendlyCore distribution. The NanoPi is wired to the µcontroler ICSP which can reset the µcontroller for update purpose. The allwinner H3 datasheet state that the GPIOA6 (the one linked to ICSP) should start with HIGH-Z and no resistance pulling, it seems to do so but a few second after reboot it seems to go low as all other GPIO... resulting in an unwanting reset of the µcontroller. Is there a way to change this by setting the default state somewhere in the system, or should I have to use dts files or core compilation ? Any solution would be appreciated. …

Hi, I'm trying to set a different GPIO state at boot (output 0) on a Orange pi Zero and I couldn't find any solution to this. Can someone tell me if this is possible and if yes how to do it ? Thanks !

Hi, I try to change the language of the last OS Buster of a Cubietruck 3 in FR. The language is always in US. Thanks

I have Debian and installed Mate. I happen to install sv_SE.UTF-8 and en_US.UTF-8 but I cannot change languish on desktop from sv_SE.UTF-8 to en_US.UTF-8. First I just remove "sv_SE.UTF-8, but then the Terminal complain it did not find sv_SE, so install again. I generate the 2 locales, And thied to when I marked the local I want en_US, but it say sv_SE are active in Mate. I tried to run: sudo localectl set-locale en_US.UTF-8 Failed to issue method call: Access denied I don't find any "Languish controll" at all in Mate desktop It is right languish in terminal.

The essence of the problem is this. I work with Orange PC Plus microcomputers. I used to use the Armbian_5.25_Orangepipcplus_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113 distribution And so the device address was HW Address: fa: 20: 6d: b5: 65: bd But when installing new distros Armbian MAC becomes different. HW Address: 12: 81: ab: 1a: 39: 92 Permanennt HW Address: 12: 81: ab: 1a: 39: 92 I really need the MAC to be like before. And it did not change when reinstalling the OS. How to do it?

Hi, I'm using the 3.4.107 kernel at the moment and I have also attached an HDD. Now I have the problem that the CUbietruck get's unresponsive once every 1-2 weeks and because of the ramlog I have no logs to see what the problem is. All services stop working, but power is still "on". My only idea is to replace ramlog solution by "normal" logfile writing (and because I use an HDD it's maybe better to directly write on HDD in any case) to have infos when the machine crashes the next time. What I do need to do for that (I'm not really a linux expert ;-) ). Thanks for help. Ingo F

Hi My cubie2 with a 2.5" HDD has exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x80000 SErr 0x90300 action 0xe frozen [182296.803589] ata1.00: irq_stat 0x08400000, interface fatal error, PHY RDY changed [182296.803605] ata1: SError: { UnrecovData Persist PHYRdyChg 10B8B } [182296.803624] ata1.00: failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED errors sometimes, which causes shutdown, spin up for HDD, with a big click sound, and it's not good for it.

Hello! I use OS armbian (2.9) on cubietruck board. I decided to upgrade to version 5.31 and have problems. Previously, parameters of hardware and interfaces SoC chip changed in the script.bin file. The bin2fex and fex2bin commands can edit these parameters. I do not understand where and what to edit (https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Allwinner_overlays/) For example, how can I change the capacity of a connected battery? Previously it was the parameter pmu_battery_cap in the [pmu_para] section, its default value is 2100 I need to change it to 5000. Please help!

Dear all, I have been install the cubietruck using "Armbian_4.5_Cubietruck_Ubuntu_trusty_3.4.109_desktop" image. It looks working, but i can't see desktop display.

Hi there, I've been "playing" around various debian images for my lime2 and http://www.igorpecovnik.com/2014/11/18/olimex-lime-debian-sd-image/ seems to be the most achieved so far. Stable and everything. The only thing I miss is the "change_display.sh" tool so that I can easily configure my board to switch between the Olimex LCD and the HDMI screen. Would it be possible to add these tools in the next image ? I understand that it requires sunxi-tools and a few other things but it looks a bit complicated for me. Thanks for the feedback. Maxime

Hi, In the recent builds (5.32) noticed an annoying ..feature. When shutting down from desktop, it asks for password, whereas that was not been asked in prior versions. Build image is OPiPC legacy Ubuntu desktop. Can we revert it back to not asking for password when shutdown/reboot from desktop?

Hi all Given that the node that H3 consumption uses to change DRAM frequency no longer exists on H5 on the mainline kernel, how would one go about altering this?

Hi all, First of all, I must congratulate the Armbian team for such an amazing job! It is really terrific! I'm using Armbian on a NanoPi Neo where I'm running an application that relies on having low latency UART responses. My application is having a latency of around 10ms and I believe that it might be related to the tick rate defined in the Armbian kernel (http://www.makelinux.net/books/lkd2/ch10lev1sec2). I would like to increase the tick rate, however, I got a little lost when I tried to browse the Armbian repository. I couldn't find the actual Linux Kernel source code. In order to increase the tick rate I need to edit the file /include/asm-"ar…

I've just downloaded the Debian-server mainline image for my Olinuxino A20 Micro (Armbian_5.38 etc) and tried, without success, to change the video output from the default HDMI to the VGA one. Following the documentation (https://docs.armbian.com/Hardware_Allwinner/) I modified the boot.cmd file adding the lines: setenv video-mode sunxi:monitor=vga,hpd=0,edid=0 saveenv and recompiling it but the video continues to be enabled on the HDMI output, also after 2 (and more) restart. I noticed that in the boot splash screen a "Err: VGA" is reported. It's not too clear from the documentation if this setting can be applied also modifying the armbianEnv.txt …

Banana Pi M1+ There is a very strange issue using SPDIF and/or I2S output.

Hi Igor, could you please look into the character set problem mentioned in the comments? Jessie kernel 3.4: Line-drawing graphics for programs like aptitude or mc don't work.

Hi guys, I have been following this two sources below while trying to build my own pps ntp server with orangepi plus. I have got gpsd and pps work. However, I have ran into the problem that the chrony I got from apt-get doesn't have pps support. It will outputs "Fatal erre : refclock driver PPS is not compiled in". I have tried building chrony from source with timepps.h but that couldn't even run properly without pps source. I am stuck with the problem. I would appreciate any advice.
