Hi all First of all Ciao to all the members of this forum!! I'm just moving from RPi to CB3, all new for me. I've booted up with latest version of Armbian (Armbian_5.10_Cubietruck_Debian_jessie_3.4.112) with a connected SSD. I dont' see it in fdisk -l and if I go with dmesg | grep -i sata I get [ 1.265800] ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 mmio [mem 0x01c18000-0x01c18fff] port 0x100 irq 88 [ 1.610672] ata1: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) The cable that were inside the cubieboard package has two different power cables, one red/black and another yellow/black, and if I'm not wrong the first should go into 5v Sata connector and the yellow one …

Hello, I used my cubieboard A10 to make a torrentserver with armbian. I use armbian jessie with vanilla kernel. The rootfs is on a 16gb sandisk sd-card, the download folder is on a sata ssd. I connect through ssh. When I start up the box everything runs as it should, but after approx. 5 minutes the connection drops with the cubieboard. Transmission stops and the ssh-server stops. When I then reboot, the torrents are gone and I have to reload them. the data on the ssd is still there. I tried already to limit the download speed to 2Mb/s but still the same. What can be the problem? I had a tl wr703n as a torrent box for a long time without a problem. The…

Hi guys, I know cubieboard A10 is already out of support, nevertheless I was able to make the right image work for it with a cubiescreen. Armbian gave me a way to make my own image without so much problems. The only issue I am having right now is that my touchscreen stops working after a while with errors like this: msg ft5x_i2c_rxdata i2c read error: -121 ***CTP***ft5x_read_data:893 read_data i2c_rxdata failed: -121 bus is busy, status = f9 Retrying transmission 2 I asume that my kernel patch for this touchscreen is not longer working.

Hi! Cubieboard a20 on boot for new armbian`s dont blink led`s I dont know sucessful load or not! On Cubieboard a10 one led blinking!

Hi folks Im facing with strange behavior of my cubie a20 Im booting it from sdcard since mainline armbian not support emmc (as far i know), but it boot from sdcard only when FEL button is pressed. Without FEL pressed it boot into android from emmc. In documentation i read if sdcard is present cubieboard tries boot from it which is legit. This behavior sucks when power loss occurs. My home-made router with some other stuff is offline and all other is offline. I expect to always boot from sdcard or emmc if i flash it with latest armbian. Please help if you can

I bought a Cubieboard AIO A20 Einstein and wanted to install Armbian. Is there an image I can use to get access to this board? I tried a few images following the install with sd card with no success. I have gone back and forth burning images, reformatting the drive, test and trying again. I'm a newbie but I have completed several installs on other machines just not one like this. I'm outside my comfort zone but keep on trying. I can install to msata and boot from that and there are boot settings in the Cubie desktop. Knowing what image to use (if any for Cubieboard AIO A20 Einstein) moving forward would be helpful. Any other tips, suggestions, how to's, and successes wou…

Hello, I am still using my cubieboard1 for openhab2. A few days ago I installed the system on an USB stick, then I thought that the 32Gb SD card is the for nothing. And I am planing to replace the 32GB sd card with a 128MB sd card. but i am stuck in prepairing the smaller SD card. Could somene advice me how to do this change? Until now I just formated the small sd card into ext4 and copied the /boot from larger sd card, but didn"t booted. Help is much appreciated.

Hello. Some facts: 1. Boot with image based on legacy kernel cause shutdown after some (less than 10) seconds after power on. 2. Boot with image based on vanilla kernel always ok. 3. If i try to boot without SD card, than power off Cubie with button, then insert SD and switch on with button - it will boot OK with lagacy kernel! Which logs can help to find the problem? I ought to use legacy kernel - i need internal soundcard and both USB.

I upgraded a cubieboard2 to kernel 5.11 and noticed that I have one core online and one core offline. Can someone confirm that?

Cubieboard2 becomes unreachable on ethernet if the switch to which the CB2 connected to is rebooted/powered off then on. Every other devices communicate after the restart, except CB2, it needs an on/off to make its networking work again. Why? It has fixed IP, and also set fixed mac address, but no luck. It runs the latest armbian (5.38), with mainline kernel

Image: Armbian_5.04_Cubieboard2_Debian_jessie_4.4.3 Board: CubieBoard2 (SD+NAND version) Available platforms: i386 with Debian Jessie (sunxi tools) and PowerMac G5. Before Armbian, I had Cubian installed on an SD card. I saved the NAND root data and all the NAND? sub-partitions, so I have a full image of the original NAND and images of each partition. I took out the card, and inserted a fresh Armbian installation, it boots up quickly and works fine. However, as I wanted to set my CubieBoard2 up so it boots from a S-ATA disk (I bought a 1TB WDC drive), I decided to run nand-sata-install. But I got only one menu item to select, so I cancelled. I then did a cat…

Hi there, i just wanted to report my experience with Igor Pecovnik's debian 4.1.2 image - especially since he says that I2C is untested with Kernel 4.0 and above. I have a PCTV DVB-C/T2 USB Stick (Triplestick 292e) and could make it work with my Cubietruck. I had to use Igor's compile script from the project website in my ubuntu virtual machine on Windows 7 to get the kernel sources and compile the kernel with the required options (the offered SD-Card image lacks support for I2C Multiplexing). To use this stick, you have to compile the kernel with I2C Multiplexing built in, and build the i2c mux modules for the chipset (I compiled all i2c_mux drivers as modules si…

Hi, I am having a hard time getting Armbian to boot on my Cubietruck. I have recorded some serial output but it does not show anything helpfull (at least for me). It just stopps at "Starting kernel". Verbosity is set to 7. Serial output 21.02.3 https://pastebin.com/DMWRzTgn Serial output 21.02.1 https://pastebin.com/a9Hasywc I tried the same SD-card and power supply with Arch for ARM. Arch boots fine. Serial output Arch Linux: https://pastebin.com/bMPf3gfx What further options do I have to debug this? As I am not really familiar with Arch I'd rather run a Debian / Ubuntu based OS.

Hey Community! I installed Armbian Jessie without any problem to SD Card. HDMI was the default screen output, and I changed to VGA with the help of this topic: http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/445-debian-images-cubietruck-vga-output-problem/ The next boot went fine, VGA works. But, after the system upgrade-update, after the reboot the screen is HDMI again. I checked the card's file system with NAND ubuntu, the output order (the 4 row) is 4-4-4-4. So, I can't understand. The VGA monitor is fine, working in the next few phase before the kernel starts, but after that: just blinking. If I connect the Samsung HDTV, the desktop present there.... Thanks for t…

I have Armbian_4.5_Cubietruck_Debian_jessie_3.4.109 running from NAND on my Cubietruck. Boot, reboot and shutdown are very slow. I assume that this is caused by this bug: As I do not need WIFI and Bluetooth ... Is it possible to remove WIFI and Bluetooth completely? How? Would that help with the mentioned problem? Is it ensured, that the WIFI and Bluetooth hardware modules are shutoff / power save when disabled? P.S.: great work Igor

Hi, is this the right place to ask about support to configure a dtb overlay? I created a .dts file for my ILI9341 TFT display which is connected to a cubietruck running armbian. most of it I copied from the internet and adapted my changed (pin configuration and spi device). Previously I my configuration was done in a fex file and also created a pcb to connect the display to the cubietruck. See german documentation https://klautesblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/ili9341-22-tft-display-am-cubietruck.html?m=1 It worked perfectly but now I’m facing some issues with the new system.

I know that the ILI9341 lcd are supported natively by armbian... But, now that i have received the lcd ordered some time ago: http://www.ebay.com/itm/311058563993 I'm trying to guess how i'm supposed to wire it to the cubietruck headers. Which are the pin numbers originally assigned to work with this lcd? Which are the correct options to load fbtft? I have digged around a little bit, but i can't find any working example.

Hi, I successfully installed owncloud on the Cubietruck. Because of owncloud, I decided to give jessie a try, since there are more packages I need already included. Got all that working.

Hi, I installed the latest cubietruck image with kernel 3.4 and xfce4 like described in the FAQ. Everything works fine so far, except that the screen goes black after 30 minutes of inactivity or so and doesn't come back by pressing a key or moving mouse. It seems like a screen suspend or so and the monitor doesn't get any signal. I haven't installed any powermanager and Cubietruck is still running and everything is accessable via ssh, even x11. After reboot screen is working again till theres the above described inactivity. /var/log/syslog has only this message I don't understand: localhost rsyslogd-2007: action 'action 17' suspended, next retry is Tue Aug 18 12:…

over year end I tried to re-set up my 2 cubietrucks , one as a a: music machine b) server. a) Pity is, Volumio is no longer available for Cubietruck - anyone has a later image than 2.118? Any other proposal? b) When trying to find a workable image for Igors selection, I figured that I run into issues with all of them.

Just a quick question due to having just updated and rebooted my Cubietruck.... I was running 5.38 mainline Stretch, but I see that armbian-firmware 5.45 was installed over 5.38... so shouldn't the welcome screen now be saying "Welcome to ARMBIAN 5.45" instead of "Welcome to ARMBIAN 5.38" still? Or is that package not the one that determines the Armbian 'version'? Maybe a better question would be what would update /etc/armbian-release ? The update process was otherwise smooth and doesn't seem to have rise to any nasty surprises . I also look forward to trying out the pineH64 image since I see that has just made a big jump, as well as th…

I have root partition on SATA drive (/dev/sda1). I tried to use vanilla kernel, but it doesn't boot and even doesn't show HDMI output (I set root=/dev/sda1 in boot.cmd and recompiled boot.scr of course). But the legacy kernel with the same configuration works. Any suggestions why?

Could someone help with understanding of use DVK571 board with Cubietruck? an how to use it's pins with arduino shields?

Hi. I'm trying to boot my Cubietruck with Armbian_20.05.1_Cubietruck_focal_current_5.4.43_desktop image, but it can not complete boot process. It is able to connect to wired network, I'm able to ping it, but SSH never becomes up and desktop environment is not started. Previous 20.02buster and bionic images worked fine. Is it some known issue?

Hello world, this is my first visit in this forum and my first question, please don`t bite me, if somethings wrong (and sorry for my bad englisch too, I`m from germany, blackwood forrest....). I am using my cubietruck now since may 2014, everythings ok. Now i got a week holiday and i thougt about an update for my cubietruck, it`s not about the ubuntu 14.04, it`s more about my old 4 GB SD-Card. OK, 10 EUR and i got an new 16GB Card "up to 80 MB/Sec." which i dont believe, but the problem is at another place: + first writing the image to the new 16 GB card: https://dl.armbian.com/cubietruck/Debian_jessie_next.7z + next backup the old…

I just recently obtained a new Cubietruck A20 and I downloaded the latest armbian bionic, formatted my micro SD card and put the downloaded image on it (with Etcher). The board boots and everything is good .... until I get to the root prompt. The board doesnt boot to the desktop gui at all. Has anyone else experienced this? What steps am I missing? Can someone guide me to the proper armbian install for the Cubietruck a20? I am using an HDMI monitor with it. Thanks.

Hi, I would like to replace my Raspberry Pi 3 with an external USB where I have Gentoo Linux system to Cubietruck with Debian mainkernel in a SATA 2.5" HDD. I have some noob questions: - I want to boot from SD card and system on SATA configuration. Can I make boot partition on SD card only-read? I want to avoid SD card filesystem corruption because of my bad experience with RPi. - Is enough powerful to run Nextcloud? Just for two users. - Is enough a 2A / 5V USB powersource (connect to Jack power connector)?

Today I re-installed my Cubietruck as it was really outdated. It had: Linux cubietruck 3.4.105-cubieboard #8 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jan 23 06:11:42 EST 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux still running without issues. I reformatted the SD card with: ARMBIAN 5.65 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.14.78-sunxi Configured everything and now I want to move the data to my SSD. (just as I had before) However dmesg shows me: cubietruck ata1: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) What did i miss??

Hi, I'm trying to get Bluetooth working on a Cubietruck running 6.6 kernels including the latest Armbian release. What I'm finding is that a Cubietruck can discover other Cubietrucks but nothing else. Other devices (e.g. Raspberry Pi, Nvidia, Rockpi, and various phones) can discover each other but not the Cubietrucks. I have three Cubietrucks here and testing with the old 4.99 Bluetooth software or the current 5.55 release shows no difference. But if I run a Cubietruck with the ancient 3.4 kernel it can detect other devices but not the Cubietrucks running the 6.6 kernels. I'm using the same Wi-Fi firmware and BT .hcd file in all cases. So it's like the Cubietru…

Dear all, After having problems with the 5.04 armbian and kernel 4.4.3 I went ober to build my own image. Prepared an ubuntu 14.04 and built jessie image, xenial image, with the 3.x and 4.x kernel. After its not working I tried an ubuntu 16.04 system and built again all images. No single image will boot... No errors while the build process (default settings). Please find the boot messages in the image file here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2kpddhdkh5czw91/image1.JPG?dl=0 Any idea, what the problem could be? Thanks, bb

Dear All, I have used Igors Debian Wheezy Image for a long time and now and found nothing to complain about. Just for the case I tried to create a backup of my sd card and created an image using dd if=/dev/sdX of=/backup.img And now the "unforseen" happened and I needed to create a new sd card. When copying the image back with dd if=/backup.img of=/dev/sdX I will get a newly created image but I am not able to boot anymore using this card. And it is getting even worse. When interrupting the boot process and issuing the relevant boot commands (run loadkernel; run setargs; bootm 0x48000000) in uBoot directly the system is running perfectly whereas the unattended boot wi…

Hello. I have my cubietruck (cubieboard 3) configured to boot from sd card, and other files stored on hdd (sata). Few weeks ago (~15.06.2017) I updated armbian by "apt-get dist-upgrade". It worked well until I switch power off. Now it can't boot from sd card. If I remove it - boot from nand is ok. Whet sd card installed - no activity on display, just blinkin LAN port. If I boot from nand, I cat mount both SD and HDD and explore filesystem. But I can't find any logs, updated since 17.06 (time then I switch it off). My guess problem is new kernel, from 4.11.4 to 4.11.5. Please help me fix this, I can take files and content from SD and HDD, but I don…

Hi, 2 weeks ago I upgraded my Cubietruck to newest Armbian version: root@cubietruck04:/var/log# uname -a Linux cubietruck04 5.10.4-sunxi #20.11.6 SMP Sun Jan 3 21:28:45 CET 2021 armv7l GNU/Linux root@cubietruck04:/var/log# lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.

Hi all, I have prepared a c++ app on a VM Ubuntu desktop and need to transfer it and test it on Cubietruck Cubieboard3. Apart from the default code I also link my c++ app to extrenal shared libraries , like poco and boost. Since I'm quite new on embedded systems and boards especially, if I choose to boot the Ubuntu desktop version armbian is offering, do I have to build these external libraries from scratch? Thanks in advance

Hi, I wrote Armbian_5.25_Cubietruck_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113.img to sd-card and booted my cubietruck from the card. ssh in and user creation followed by reboot (rootfs resize) After that i performed apt get update&upgrade and started nand-sata-install. I have SSD hooked to CubieTruck and my goal is boot system from onboard memory (with 3.4-kernel nand is available but not with 4.9...) and roots to /dev/sda1. This was how previous setup was. sd-card slot is broken, I need to use tape to keep card on the reader, another reason why boot from nand would be nice. However, when i start and-sata-install, following is displayed on con…

Hey guys, my cubietruck doesn'T recognize my usb keyboard at all, while he is booting. It is a logitech mk300 wireless keyboard. with aruntu and other stuff it worked without a problem. The keyboard works, i am writing this text with it. When cubie boots, it checks the usb devices and sais unable to get device descriptor. Is this a known bug? I have no other keyboard, so cubie is useless for me... I have tried different images and versions, allways the same error...

Hi, First of all: Thanks for the great work. I have installed the Armbian_4.5_Cubietruck_Ubuntu_trusty_3.4.109_desktop image and it runs smooth so far. After a while beeing idle the monitor goes black as it should, but the cubie doesn't wake up on mouse or keyboard entry. The only thing working is a reboot. Also I'd like to know, how I can deactivate the Micro-USB port. If I remember it right, this is responsable for the low volume high pitch noise. Thanks for all your responses. kauppi

Hey, after making sure that all packages are current (armbianmobitor upload available at http://sprunge.us/Migh)I still have the problem currently that my three cubietruicks freeze after working 1-3 days. Mostly they are still ping-able, but no "heartbeat led blinking" happens anymore and SSH connect also not possible. The logs simply say nothing. Is there anything knows with uboot 5.23 in case ob unstability? The last uboot I remember that was quite stable was 5.20 ... Can I simply downgrade to that using sudo apt-get install linux-u-boot-cubietruck-next=5.20 or such? Thanks for an advice... Ingo Fischer

I change /boot/armbianenv.txt (or how it called) parameter UUID to SD card back and could boot again, but system is on SD card. I perform…

Hi Igor, while playing with your Armbian and kernel to squeeze even more juice from my cubietruck, i would ask you if you think it would be possible to add to your kernel and u-boot build the support for KVM. Here one experiment with KVM: https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2013/12/13/kvm-working-on-the-cubietruck/ Then, partially related with this, it would be nice to have the watchdog enabled to fight the occasional low level hang that happens sometimes (all freezed with 4 led on).

Hi, my old 1366x768 VGA LCD monitor was working with legacy kernel but after I downloaded and installed image with new kernel ( Ubuntu_xenial_next.7z) I could not get it to work with VGA output.

Both monitors go blank with it. extraagrs=disp.screen0_output_type=4 Is VGA supported with new kernel? If so, how ?
