Hello friends, I installed the latest version of ARMBIAN compatible with ORANGEPI 3 LTS. But on the login screen, the username and password fields are pixelated, change color unstable when moving the mouse or trying to enter the password. This error only occurs on the login screen, once the desktop starts everything is normal. Thanks for your help.

Hello ! Aftert installing new image (Armbian_5.04_Bananapipro_Debian_jessie_3.4.110) onto Banana PI, I can't start desktop, startx command is not recognized. Neither root or normal user. Any idea wha't going on? Regards! Mladen, Herzegovina

Hello, sorry for my very bad english. I have installd the desktopimage for the bananapi m1. It works. But same programms does work because the autmatic login user is root. So exaile, chromium-browser does start. Synatipc starts from the gui after starting the AT-bus programm (see menu starting programms) Tunar needs to install the gvfs-backend, then you can see the computers in the network. To change the language in the gui you need to install the language-pack-de (for german). I have also a cubitruck and thin this problems also in the image for the cubietruck. The first problems can solved when the automic user is not root. The other w…

Hello I have an armbian on my Orange Pi PC2 Could you tell me, how I can detect in console is audo jack is plugged in or not?

Hi, I got my OPiZ3 2GB model last week, but it seems to detect as 4GB sometimes. At first, I thought I got lucky and the seller shipped the 4GB model, but I realized it crashes under load when it do. and I have to restart multiple times to get it right. The issue shows up in htop and free, where it reports double the memory and swap. I’m using the Minimal/IOT image with Armbian Linux v6.6. Here's the output from armbianmonitor -u: https://paste.next.armbian.com/iguzunaved The MemTotal value switches between 4GB and 2GB. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!

Can anyone suggest a command line command that would return the status of the connected HDMI monitor? Whether it is on standby or not or something that might help to determine if the display is active or not. I'm currently using Armbian Xenial on a H3 Orange Pi Zero Plus 2. Thanks

I'm running an OrangePi One. Having installed Armbian a while ago and gone through all the updates, I was wondering if there is any way to determine what equivalent release my installations are at. I noticed that 5.20 is out and some folks are talking about 5.21. I'm running Jessie. Also, for me to use a more recent version of Debian, I'm guessing I would have to build the image myself? Is that due to shortcomings in the 4.x kernels on the H3 platform? I've done some digging and it seems like many (most) things are working right on the 4.x kernels? Thank you James

I'm trying to develop a kiosk system using an Orange Pi One (Based on Allwinner H3 - Mali400) running Armbian Xenial To do this I need to develop a full-screen GUI application (I don't have much experience in this area) I'm looking for a professional way to do this, Ive spent about a week trying to get Qt to cross-compile from my laptop but not getting much luck, Any ideas / advice welcome, Andy

Hello, I know one should't ask or complain here regarding the dev kernel branch, but maybe somebody of you stumbled upon this and knows where to point me: I successfully build and used the "dev" kernel several times for the BananaPi (Allwinner A20 Soc) and it works just fine. The patch regarding the axp209 sysfs interface can simply be taken over from the from the "next" kernel branch and you get a working temperture reading from the axp209 pmu. I still haven't managed to get the internal soc's temperature sensor working in dev kernel, though. I know it has something to do with the touchscreen driver but couldn't find out what exactly is required to make it…

Hello, on a fresh install (Armbian_22.08.1_Orangepi3_jammy_current_5.15.63), the ethernet eth0 interface doesn't retrieve any IP. Here comes the kernel ethernet related messages: After that, I have launched a dhclient command that took several minutes to stop. Then, an APIPA address is attributed to eth0 nterface. So I have launched armbian-config to set the eth0 to static. And it worked. But how to make DHCP works? Thank you PS all others devices on my network can retrieve an IP by DHCP. I also tried others OS on my Orange Pi 3 boards and the…

As a newbie struggling for a month trying to find resources to set a static IP for Wifi DHCP and to get my PC to directly communicate to my OPZ via ethernet so I can be mobile... I am ecstatic to stumble across this solution, and had to share. Basically all you need to do is add a few bits of info to the /etc/network/interfaces file that is first made to setup wifi on the OPZ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zGRAPguaSQ). Here is the modified /etc/network/interfaces file contents that worked for me, in blue: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet static #last wor…

Hi! I just bought a NanoPi M1 board and It is running with Armbian without problem. Now I want to add a DHT22 temp & hum sensor but searching in the web I cant find any script to get it work. I saw that the RPi script doesn't work on the NanoPi M1 because the chip is differnt. In the Friendlyarm page there is a C script to work with the DHT11, but nothing with the DHT22. So, anyone have been experimenting whit it in this context? There are a Wiring Pi equivalent to NanoPi M1? Thanks

Hi all, I'm new here and I searched a lot how to connect a DHT22 on an Orange Pi. I found python and c script for the DHT11 but cannot make it work for the 22. I tried WiringOP without success. Does anyone suceed with this sensor? I think there is something on piprojects.xyz but it is not accessible. Thanks for any help Philippe

My Cubieboard 2 absolutely refuses to boot from microSD. It will boot into Android from flash when there is no microSD card inserted, but with a card in, it just produces a single red LED and no video output. Eventually it will respond by flashing green and powering down when the power button is depressed, so I feel like it's getting somewhere, but those are the only signs of life. I don't know how to look at serial output from this machine. I've tried two different power supplies, and two different monitors because one had I think been dodgy with this machine before. Same problem on all permutations. I also tested the SD card with F3 and wrote it with Etcher, and I've us…

Hi friends, i'm new here, i found an old Orange Pi PC (V1.2) in my treasure-box and try to find a bootable image in the Orange Pi sources. But any image i tried was faulty, one time the system is starting, but not booting completely ore i have a red LED (don't boot). I tried it with a 8GB und a 32GB card. Pls, can you tell me, where i can download a running image and do you know, if a 32GB-Card ist ok? I write the img with "BelanaEtcher" on the SD-Card, same as i write it on a SD-Card für a Rasp-Pi. Thank you for any helpful answer. Stefan

Hello everyone, I've been trying to find a list of the differences between Armbian and a classic Debian Install. Could you please help me with that? I'm asking this question because I currently have Armbian running from an SD card on a Cubieboard 1, and would like to install Debian to an encrypted SATA drive instead. I think I will follow this installation guide with the netboot SD card image. Once I have a Debian for the armhf arch, is there something else I should do to make my system as compatible as possible with the Cubieboard? I know I can reduce the amount of reserved memory assigned to various video devices. I could maybe try to look into the Security …

Hello community armbian :). I have a trouble on orange pi plus2e armbian mainline kernel. There is no reaction of the pins after the export. echo 11 > /sys/class/gpio/export echo "out" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio11/direction echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio11/value and physical pin not responding... keeping the voltage around 1.2v, when reading the same thing.

Is there any possibillity to disable "all" boot output on the Olimex Lime 20 board? Including the bootlogo and verbose text? Thanks, Vincent

This seems like a really simple problem, but I can't find any pointers on any forums. I am running a NanoPiNEO2 (Allwinner H5) using the latest Armbian build DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS" I am trying all ways to save power. For most of the time, I do not need to use the Ethernet interface (I am using the USB interfaces for comms). I have tried all the obvious commands such as ifdown, and explored ethtool, but nothing I do makes any difference to the current consumption of the device. I expect i am missing something obvious - any help gratefully accepted.

I'm trying to disable the HDMI output on my A20-OlinuXino LIME. I have tried to disable the HDMI from the u-boot console using this commands : -setenv video-mode sunxi:1024x768-24@60,monitor=none -saveenv I have also tried to recompile the boot.cmd but even in this way nothing. Corrently i'm using : Linux lime 4.19.62-sunxi #5.92 Where is my mistake? Thanks in advance.

In this post tkaiser says disabling HDMI and the GPU on H3 boards can reduce power consumption by 200mW. Is it possible to do this on a headless Orange Pi Zero 2+ H5? I don't believe I can use h3consumption or edit FEX files because I'm on the H5 mainline kernel. I tried setting monitor=none in armbianEnv.txt, but I didn't notice any appreciable difference using an inline USB power meter.

I'm working in a project that needs to use 12 GPIO pins (plus serial!) on the Orange Pi Zero. To achieve that, I need to disable at least one of the I2C interfaces in the 26-pin header. Following the instructions on https://linux-sunxi.org/I2Cdev, I have decompiled, edited and recompiled /boot/config.bin, but I still can't access any of the pins used by the I2C ports. Specifically, what I have done is to edit the decompiled script.bin.fex file, and in sections named [twi0] and [twi1], changed twi_used=1 to twi_used=0. After that, running a simple program that sets the pins to input and reads its status allways returns 1, even if the pin is connected to ground or…

Hi, 3 flashing led diodes of my Banana Pi make good party atmosphere when I want to sleep. what are ways to disable led diodes on Banana Pi? Is there a way to disable them without recompiling kernel?

Hi guys, Quick question about the USB ports on the Cubietruck. Once I am done with the usual setup procedure (changing the root password and setup a user) system reboot. I sometimes end up in situations where I need to access the Cubietruck directly and not through ssh. In such situations I noticed that my usb keyboard and mouse do not respond at all, eventhough if these are the exact same ones hich I used to the 1first time setup. What could be the reason for this ? Thx,blub4747

I'm trying to disable IPv6 on my NanoPi Neo2. Initially I used the option in armbian-config -> Network -> IPv6 (toggle). I can confirm that IPv6 is disabled by running 'ip a' and no longer seeing any IPv6 addresses. And I can also confirm that the following config is changed in /etc/sysctl.conf: net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1 net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1 net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1 However after a reboot I see the IPv6 addresses back. I found a guide (itsfoss) that suggest the same changes to sysctl.conf and if the changes do not persist ander a startup I should make edit /etc/rc.local : #!/bin/bas…

I've seen this question asked quite frequently here and all the posts end before there is a solution. I think it's time we had a crystal clear discussion on how it can be done. Not just for my curiosity, but for the people who've asked before and for the people who will ask in the future. The reason: Many hats/shields designed for RaspberryPi would otherwise be compatible with OrangePi if Armbian/u-boot didn't direct the debug output to UART0. UART0 is the most commonly used serial connection for hats/shields designed for RaspberryPi. OrangePi has multiple UART gpio so it would make sense for the O.S. (Armbian) to use the one that least impacts the…

Hi there I have a banana pi M1 and I have installed Armbian on it. The HDMI output / Display work fine if I have HDMI connected to the HDMI port of BPi and monitor/tv is turned on before Armbian booting process starts. However if I don't have HDMI connected before boot process or Monitor/Tv is not turned on then I don't see the display if I connects the HDMI or turned on Monitor later. It is a problem for me because when I want to connect to display to already booted OS. Does anyone faced this behavior? Please advise.

From Zadors reply to I learned there is a Video Engine for Video, Mali for 3d and a Display Engine for 2d. I used an old version of armbian on OPi PC (h3disp had no 4k option) . Moving desktop windows was very fast. In current desktop release legacy 3.4.113 moving large windows is very slow. So I guess Display Engine is not working correctly. How can I determine if it works? Mainline version gives me no display at all. Thanks.

Dear colleagues, good afternoon. I have 3 problems with the display. I have a orange pi zero. Installed armbian.

Font on the console - Terminus framebufer 6x12. And I am looking for a smaller. Help me please. I want to make the setting expand in the system - 320x240. Font still less. And it passes the wrong color, and I want to make the right color.

Hello everybody, I have recently bought an Orange Pi Lite.

I have encountered 2 problems during my installation: Everything was preestablished for US, and it is sometimes boring or difficult to use it. I have some problems with the display. Note that I have taken the Xenial image, and I expect it is the Linux 4 version on which we cannot run Xorg. I start with the easier one: Internationalisation (and I have not written internationalization to remind US peop…

Hi! Yesterday I upgraded my NanoPi Neo Plus2, during that the kernel version went from 6.12.74 (package version 26.2.0-trunk.478) to 6.18.19 (package version 26.2.0-trunk.626). This morning I noticed, that this kernel is missing the dm-snapshot.ko module. I searched the forum if anyone else is having this problem, but it appears I am the only one using this feature. I use snapshots to create consistent backups of the system. Is there a reason why it was removed and more importantly is there a way to get it back without having to compile the kernel myself?

Dear mainline developers, I'm writing a (mainline) SPI driver for de ads131 from TI which I would like to make use of DMA, on the orangePIzero H2, zero+ H3/H5 and nanopi NEO2+. On the 4.13.3-sunxi kernel (armbian 5.33), this works fine, the driver is automatically loaded when the associated devicetree overlay is loaded, and the DMA can be allocated. However, when I compile the same driver for newer kernels (4.14.17-sunxi, 4.14.39-sunxi, 4.14.67-sunxi armbian 5.59), the dma allocation no longer appears to work, while the SPI part of the devicetree is identical except for the phandle (checked with dtc -I fs /sys/firmware/devicetree/base on newest 4.14.67-sunxi kerne…

I cannot use my dmesg in a normal way anymore.

Hi, I have bought Orange Pi Zero and installed Armbian Ubuntu version. Device (and OS!) works fantastic. However, I have a problem, because DNS resolving does not work until I manually edit /etc/resolv.conf file and enter: nameserver <ip_of_my_router> The problem is, I am using my Zero device in different networks, so I need to reconfigure it every time I connect it to other network. Is there any solution for this? In fact, it is quite weird, I have tried several things (when DNS resolving was not working), for instance: dig @8.8.8.8 www.slo-tech.com any and got only: ; <<>> DiG 9.10.3-P4-Ubuntu <<>> @8.8.8.8 www.sl…

Hi!!! I am planning to buy Orange Pi PC but I saw that it has thermal issues because of overclocking/overvolting. My question is, Is armbian able to fix this problem??? ------Sorry...I am new to Single Board Computers----- Another thing, If Armbian isn't helpful about it, Does Orange Pi PC2 differ from it's predecessor??(I mean in thermal issues)... Thanks To You!!

I'm sorry for the lame question, I just don't wanna regret anything before buying this fan, so I'm talking about this fan (3cm x 3cm) Spoiler I want to mount this fan right below the board by just screwing it in. Do the holes fit perfectly with the holes of the opiz board ? I've asked this before on facebook but someone suggested me to just glue the fan directly onto the board but I'm afraid it'll damage the board instead.

Hi I try use Nokia 5110 with Orange pi zero. I found this library: https://github.com/rm-hull/luma.lcd and try to run it on my orange pi with this tutorial: http://codelectron.com/interface-nokia-5110-lcd-and-raspberry-pi-python/ so in python shell I add these: >>> from luma.core.interface.serial import spi >>> from luma.core.render import canvas >>> from luma.lcd.device import pcd8544, st7735, uc1701x >>> import OPi.GPIO as GPIO >>> from luma.lcd.aux import backlight but after add this line, I got many error that told me that library is used for Raspberry pi only: >>> serial = spi(p…

Hello, I've just switched from bananian to armbian (as many others here as I've seen), and successfully finished migrating everything. I use the Banana as a little home server, NAS, sane/cups printer sharer and home cloud. I want to use docker on it, but I'm finding some difficulties to make it run. I'm currently on 4.9.12-sunxi. I've tried installing docker from the ubuntu repo but it doesn't seem to work. I've seen some topics about building a custom kernel for this, is this necessary? Did someone managed to make docker run? Thanks.

Hi, I'm Glego and this is my first post. I was just fiddling around with my old BananaPI M1 and M1+, and stumbled upon ARMbian, which has great appraisals on the Bananapi forum. I'm creating a cluster of various SBC's and thought ARMbian is the OS to go. Unfortunatly I had an issue when setting up Docker and wanted to share the resolution for future reference. However I couldn't find the root cause, so if any expert would be able to comment on why this is happening, I will be happy the do the tests again. Cheers, Glego Issue After installing docker-ce, the service is not starting: docker.service start request repeated too quick…

Hi, As I saw some people were able to use docker on CubieTruck : https://dzone.com/articles/cross-platform-hybrid-cloud https://dzone.com/articles/big-data-processing-arm-0 As there are also some images for Raspberri/docker like http://blog.hypriot.com/getting-started-with-docker-on-your-arm-device/and as in the changelog of the kernel, docker is mentionned, I would like to know how to install & use docker on my cubietruck. Did someone achieve that ? I'll be quite interested to do a docker cluster of my Rasp & Cubietruck for my self hostiing needs Maybe this could help too : https://github.com/umiddelb/armhf/wiki/Installing,-running,-using-docker-on…

Hello, I am going to start looking into running Docker on OPi +2E soon, but before I get stuck in details I would like to know whether other people have had experience with it..? In particular, I would like to know what to expect when trying to run Docker on an OPi +2E. Having a report from prior experience would be helpful. As far as I understand, Docker is still in pretty much experimental stages on ARM. Kind regards, @ullbeking

Hi, I'm very happy to have my OrangePi Zero working (at last!) with Armbian. It looks like docker installed properly on the latest Armbian Stretch mainline kernel 4.14.y, but for some reason, it won't start.

Following the suggestion that if I didn't like the documentation, I should write it myself, here is my version of what I was hoping for, (how to get started) instead of the formal definition style of a reference manual. Please feel free to correct the errors and use it how you wish. How to set up OS for development boards General This tutorial should apply to any board supported by Armbian, it uses the example of Orange Pi Prime. 0. Introduction The Prime's hardware is good, but can only work properly if the OS has all the drivers for the chips used on the board and only a few OS versions have them right. The most common fau…

Is there any documentation related to patch integration in building process ? i see a folder userpatches but no doc associated with it.

The FAQ says the username is "root" and the password is "1234", but the password for the root user on at least the image in Lamobo-r1_Debian_3.2_jessie_4.1.2.zip is "pi" (apparently also the default bananian password). edit: nope, I'm just an idiot. The docs are right. Sorry! Don't see a way to delete this topic, but I would if I could.

Hello, I'm a bit confused about the documentation, to be precise the hardware notes > Allwinner Generic > reconfigure video output part. It lists various options regarding video output. Then it states Now I see, inside boot, a "armbianEnv.txt" and the mentioned "boot.cmd". However, the default boot.cmd doesn't contain a saveenv line. Also, the head of the boot.cmd clearly states Can someone lighten me up on the relationship between the files armbianEnv.txt and boot.cmd, and why I should/shouldn't edit boot.cmd? I'm running the mainline kernel on a Banani Pi Pro, if this is relevant. Thanks in advance

Does Armbian_5.59_Bananapipro_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.14.65 come with X Window? I've been working under Text Mode for 2 days...Some times, I still need to use X Window ... Thank you Pei

My Orange Pi PC running Armbian gets disconnected from both SSH and VNC after maybe 20 minutes or so out of nowhere, no matter if idle or doing anything. I can't connect back until I restart the entire SBC by keyboard. The pi is useless to me if I can't run it "headless". I'm wondering if it's a MAC problem. I have a pfSense router I built myself and have had different subnet addresses. I've made sure the MAC address isn't repeated on another subnet address, though. I know the Raspberry Pi has a way to change it, but does the OPi PC as well? The MAC "problem" is just a guess, though. I really don't know what's with the disconnection issues. I'm no …

Friends I want to use A20 for our IP calling project which include Linphone. I confirmed from IGOR that there is no sound issues regarding audio driver while capturing voice from microphone or getting audio from headphone jack with his debian images. I only have to confirm that did anybody use LINPHONE on A20 debian or trusty system.

I want to buy the orange pi zero 3w.Can i have hardware acceleration with the images provided from armbian developers?Thank you,in advance.

Hi, does Armbian still support Debian-Wheezy? On the download page is written: But I can not find a Wheezy-Image. Steffen

Dear All, first of all, i dont have any orange pi yet, want to have one, perhaps orange pi PC Plus. My main intention is to use as robotic experiment. i have some questions: - is orange pc plus GPIO compatible with raspberry one ? - does shield / module for raspberry works in Orange Pi ? - example : if i want to use "Pimoroni Explorer HAT Pro for Raspberry Pi", can it work in orange pi ? sorry if these euqestion existed before and sorry if wrong forum. thanks.

Hi, I met another weird issue: I tried to setup a static IP address for my NanoPi NEO, which should actually bundle the NanoPI NEO's GigE MAC address and the static IP. Whenever I reboot the NanoPI NEO, its GigE MAC address changes, and an random IP address is automatically allocated, via DHCP. I mean, the previous MAC address did bundle to the static IP address that I allocated. However, there always exists a 2nd HOST name NanoPINEO which has a NEW MAC address and is allocated to a NEW IP address automatically. I'm not sure if this is an issue of the latest kernel I've just built? Or it is an issue of the FriendlyARM BSP for AllWinner H3 ? I posted …

Issue found! Orange PI changed eMMC from KLM8G1GETF to KLM8G1WEPD. The difference is eMMC 5.0 vs 5.1 and maybe more. The key things is that Armbian (checked using 5.35 and the latest one) does not see this memory (fdisk -l)!! I have noticed it on OPI0 Plus 2 H3. PCB boards are the same, only memory model no. difference. Someone solved it or noticed the same? Confused 🤨

I try too with other bpi-m2 board, and the issue stills... So isnt a hardware fail... there are any config or special command tu turn on? I see the boot.src and all apparently are ok. Best regards

Hi guys, I wonder if someone could point me in the proper direction, got stuck with DosBox performance for several days already( Orange Pi+2e, legacy Mali supported (AFAIK) Ubuntu image, DosBox 0.74 and old good DOS games like C&C, Doom, UFO, Red Alert etc. I have tried all reasonable settings combinations in DosBox config - output, render, scaling, all with no good - performance almost isn't playable even with normal2x scaling( I was quite sure that legacy image should provide to DosBox some standard interface for hardware rendering/scaling support (with opengl, probably), but it seems to be wrong. Or the problem is on DosBox side? Do I expec…

Hi! I have a small question, i installed Armbian version 5.20 (kernel 4.7.3) and upgrade all package with apt-get upgrade. In this case armbian upgraded to version 5.23 with kernel 4.8.

Just for information, I have tested ADS7846 touchscreen on new 4.19.y Bionic Orangepi one. What I did to get it work: 1. Upgrade dtc to version 1.4.7. By default it was dtc version 1.4.5 and I have get errors while trying to do " armbian-add-overlay sun8i-h3-spi-ads7846.dts" 2. There is missing driver in kernel by default, so I have installed ubuntu bionic 18.04.1 LTS on PC. After that use this guide https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ Switch on ADS7846 module, then install new compiled package linux-image-next-sunxi_5.74_armhf.deb on OrangePi-one.
