Hi all, I need a help. I installed the armbian Debian Jessie 4.9.5 in my cubietruck. It is connected via HDMI. How do I set the output of sound to be HDMI? Thanks and best regards

Hi, I have a cubietruck 3 with a faulty SD card slot, how do I approach installing armbian on it? Thanks

I was curious to see how Mainline kernel performs on GbE test against a Legacy kernel. For the Armbian side i chose the nightly dev Armbian_5.27.170602_Orangepiwin_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.11.1_desktop.img (Desktop) and for the Legacy i chose my own build with all "Bells and whistles" (full Desktop, hdmi, camera, bt and wifi). I did not optimized Armbian Mainline, just installed and run stock. For the Legacy i optimized as usual. If there is some optimization to do on Mainline side, i missed. I have some observations about the board and results: * Board is without Heat-sink, * Legacy subsequent test got lower values, i suspect it runs h…

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had been able to get this working ? And, yes i know that OPI-Win is WIP/testing. I read some stuff here & on the linux-sunxi irc log that seemed to say that it should work & I've tried the following without luck. I was wondering if someone with alittle more knowledge about this may be able to help or point me in the right direction.

Hello. I remodel my Philips TV 32PFL4258T in a media center. The motherboard burned to the TV. There is no point in buying a new one. He had not worked very well before that. I installed universal scaler Z.VST.3463.A1. I bought myself Orange Pi One and installed Arbian 5.30. But when you start the browser and the video on YouTube, after 5 minutes, the promo starts to buggy and hang. The processor temperature is 55 degrees. According to the SSH, a 1% swap file is written. I think then, when viewing the memory, it eats much more and faster. Kodi also works. If you do not watch movies and programs nimble. As soon as you turn on the film everything is badly hangi…

Hello everyone I have an orangepi zero with a Micro-USB (OTG) socket and an A-USB socket integrated into the board. Using the Armbian_5.35_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.13.16 system, a micro-USB cable connected to a Windows computer will have an ELMOG MAS COM device that makes it easy to manage orangepi zero. However, this Micro-USB socket is easily damaged after many times of plugging and unplugging. Can I use the A-USB socket as the USB device mode? thank you all

Armbian_5.59_Nanopineo2_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.14.65.img does not see the sound codec at all. The status matrix here: http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort#Status_Matrix tells that Audio Codec should be supported since kernel 4.12 on H3 (H2+ is the same, as far as I know). But Armbian does not see the audio codec nor on NanoPi Neo2 (H5), nor even on on NanoPi Duo (H2+), although all the img files I used have 4.14 in their name. However, even with FriendlyElec's own image nanopi-neo2_ubuntu-oled_4.14.52_20180628.img there is a different issue - the sound is mono instead of stereo! I tried speaker-test: speaker-test -…

Hi guys, I've been tring to get an IR LED to work with LIRC for a while now but just cant get it to work. I'm a bit of a noob with linux, so bear with me.... (using 5.05 desktop image) I have been able to get a receiver working thanks to the stickied tutorial. Although only when running lircd manually with driver and device options, I've setup hardware.conf but i think the /etc/init.d/lirc script overrides that. Anyway its the sending using gpio that i need and the closest i've come is with the LIRC GPIO kernel module from here. As it compiles, loads and shows that the gpio pin has been allocated using: cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio GPIOs 0-383, platform/sunxi-pinctrl…

Hello! I'm trying to get SPI working with Armbian on Cubietruck. Armbian 5.20 Debian Jessie I edited fex, enabled spi as here https://linux-sunxi.org/SPIdev#Configuring_your_FEXbut no spidev device appeared. I have no device tree file in /boot/. Here https://docs.armbian.com/Hardware_Allwinner-A20/is mentioned SPI ready and tested with ILI9341 based 2.4″ TFT LCD displayAs I understand the SPI driver is already in Armbian kernel but to enable spidev I need to do something else? Can anyone explain how to enable SPI on Cubietruck?

All, Does anyone know how I can enable the OnBoard Wifi using Armbian? Is there a driver included for for the XR819 on-board WiFi module? any pointers would be much appreciated.... Thanks Gerry

Hello, my opi+2 sometimes dies after long running times and becomes so hot that I cannot touch it. When I looked to logs, I saw kernel panic errors like, you know, tons of meanless numbers. I can provide any information you want. It's been few hours since I started it but here are logs. http://sprunge.us/jJSK Probably it had had 0.05 15 min load before it died. I couldn't see the message I saw before, probably they got removed from the system after few minutes. I'll send you newer logs after I get accurate errors again. This may take a week, or few days.

I did try the latest Armbian 23.5 Bookworm on my banana pi m2 zero with allwinner h3 chip and I couldn't get the USB OTG port working (i. e. no keyboard recognition) and eth0 also did not work. After a lot of searching I found an old image (BananaPi-M2zero_Armbian_2021.08.1_bullseye_CLI_5.10.60.img) which did work. I wonder what happened to the kernel Kernel 6.2.y edition and why those crucial hardware features are not working anymore. Is there a vault somewhere of older armbian software revisions?

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 have recently updated to Armbian Focal (Ubuntu 20.04). My Banana Pi M1 is running an apache server + some digital amateur radio stuff. So upload speed is important. My average download and upload speed as measured with speediest-cli is 45Mb/sec and 18Mb/sec respectively (wired connection to modem) With Focal I get these speeds with Buster (Debian 10) the download speed is still 45Mb/sec but the upload speed drops to 3.4 Mb/sec. These results are not one off but consistent. The am64 version of Buster does exactly the same thing.. My question is : can I change this with programming or is it a fixture in the kernel ? Can someone enlighten me please ? Rein

Hi, I could enable "spidev" support by armbian-config -> system -> hardware (enable spidev) . Everything worked fine. However, the original spidev module supports messages only up to 4096 bytes. I compiled a new version of custom spidev.ko with the 32,768 buffer size. Then, converted it to spidev.ko.xz ( xz -v spidev.ko) and replaced the original file under /lib/modules/5.15.85-sunxi/kernel/drivers/spi/spidev.ko.xz The new module works fine when I install it manually: insmod /lib/modules/5.15.85-sunxi/kernel/drivers/spi/spidev.ko.xz However, after the reboot the original 4096-byte version of "spidev" module is loaded magically.…

Hi, what are currently the options of controlling 433Mhz sender/receiver devices from an orange Pi zero 3? Currently the gpios are no longer exposed via sysfs but you could re-enable that feature by compiling a new kernel with the proper configuration. Then wiringpi would work again and you could use 433Utils. But what would be the options without compiling a new kernel? What 433Mhz library exists that uses the new way of controlling the gpios? I am a bit confused about the current state of affairs, please enlighten me...

Hello! I could find quite a bit of information about the analog video output for OrangePi Zero 2W on Armbian under Ubuntu. On Android TV-OUT works. Are there any plans to add this feature to Armbian? It is very critical for me. If no one plans to do this now, then I would be extremely grateful for advice from experts on how to port / modify existing drivers, perhaps take something from the AndroidTV 12 code, where the video output works? I am a developer, but I have not previously dealt with driver development for Linux, but if I understand in which direction to act, then using ChatGPT sooner or later I should be able to cope. I would be very grateful for any he…

If anyone in interested in a lightweight wayland desktop, inspired by openbox, you should try labwc. In orange pi zero 3, we need to stay in bookworm to get video acceleration, so this guide helps build labwc in bookworm As a greeter, I chose pi-greeter, because it is the lightest login manager I could setup, without any X11 https://github.com/robertojguerra/opiz3-labwc-setup I am open to read any improvements, or show me how I could make deb packages. In the near future, I will make a step-by-step video tutorial in Youtube.

Hello! I am tired of system freezing once in 1-2 days, and think the reason is heating (Board 49 degrees right now) so I decided to revert system back to SD and not use HDD at all, making system more stable by power and temperature. Please help me to do it - is there any revert script that I can run to move all data from HDD back to SD?

Someone did an amazing job implementing the cubietruck sata speed for armbian. I am curious as to what was done. The other day I pulled read 75MB/s(via nautilus ftp) to my main computer from it. Would perhaps like to apply whatever the fix was to netbsd.

Hi! Anyone use display? GND: Shared VCC: Power supply SDA: Bus Information SCL: clock data bus From site: https://github.com/vvromanov/cb_i2c_lcd https://github.com/vvromanov/cb_i2c_lcd/blob/master/i2c_lcd.c#L28 But how to right connect display?

Please give me your recommendation for my OPiPC+ to use Armbian and Asterisk I see there are 3 options for Armbian for my model. I am not good with linux and would prefer a GUI for both Armbian and Asterisk. Also I am wanting as "Lightweight" as possible. I will not be using the OPi for anything else but a phone system. Also could you give me steps to take to add Asterisk to Armbian. Thanks

Hello I am a new user of the armbian software. I installed the latest version of vanilla to armbian in the description of the material, I saw that the buscan was activated. I have a banana pi pro, I would like to know how to install the software for CAN bus. I read that can4linux was the driver to install. I read on this forum they've installed patches, but how do I installed a patch? Thank you for your help. PS: I speak French and I use a translator.

I have the Orange Pi Zero - working using last week's nightly build which has the WIFI intact and I've since updated using the usual apt-get upgrade. The WIFI is awful - wired is fine - I'm using Xenial - nmtui to setup - and I have two issues - despite turning off WIFI power management and being no more than 3ft away from the (new) access point - WIFI is so sluggish you can tell when typing into a terminal!! Also despite what nmtui should do - if I turn off the access point (simulating an issue with say power) and back on, the Orange Pi Zero will NOT reconnect even minutes later without rebooting. Anyone have ideas as to (a) how to improve the WIFI to make it us…

On my new orange pi zero I hooked a pl2303 usb converter to the three serial pins and use "screen /dev/ttyUSB4 115200" to connect. This gives garbage on boot, with occasional strings of meaningful info like "Orange Pi" or "Debian". Same converter worked fine on my Raspberry Pi Zero. I'm suspecting the Orange Pi is just too fast and either the pl2303 or my Debian system can't keep up. Does anyone have the serial console working? Should I try a cp2102 instead, or maybe reconfigure to a slower speed? When I configured a DHCP server and hooked it up via ethernet, I can get in fine.

Are there plans for an armbian version for the new Orange Pi Prime? Hardware specs look very similar to the PC2 but it has 2GB RAM which makes it an interesting SoC.

I got a new board revision of the Olimex A20-OLInuXino-MICRO Board (Rev. J). It works with the by Olimex provided Jessie image but not with Armbian_5.25_Micro_Debian_jessie_next_4.9.7. I get no IP address by DHCP because the ethernet is not working. The reason could be an new ethernet chipset they introduced with this revision. New: Microchip's LAN8710AI-EZK(QFN-32). Before: Realtek RTL8201CP(LQFP-48) They publish a patch on: https://github.com/OLIMEX/OLINUXINO/blob/master/SOFTWARE/A20/A20-build-3.4.103-release-5/a20-phy_1000_100-dram.patch

Hello All, Trying to get sound working on my A20 micro. After switching to the Mainline kernel, the sun4i_codec loads and everything seems to be there.

It seems like all the OS available for the A64 (for me specifically the orangepi winplus) are using the 3.10 kernel that has reached the EOL. I have been advised against using this kernel but I don't see any other options. I did find and armbian for the winplus that used 4.11 but it crumbled after upgrade every time. Does anyone have any advice for me? Thanks

After upgrade to latest kernel (4.19.38) my device only boots into maintenance mode. System is on emmc and no problems before. I started armbian-config and switched back to previous kernel, but it doesn't boot system. Even with all USB devices disconnected it didn't start (as i see there are some usb errors in log), file system seems to be clean, just didn't start system in normal mode.... Any advice? Thx Update: OK, solved, after installing latest updates within maintenance mode its ok again....

Hello, I have OPI0 with Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS with Linux 5.8.6-sunxi and I would like to set 240 MHz as minimum frequency. cpufreq-info shows that available steps starts at 480 MHz but on older kernel 240 MHz and 120 MHz were available too.

Will cryptsetup (missing crypto modules), and USB audio (or the onboard analog audio) work on vanilla kernel?

Hi, I have a Cubietruck with ARMBIAN Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS 3.4.110-sun7i. I now want to use the Hardware acceleration for encryption. But I'm not able to do this and i have not found a lot of Information. I should load the sun4i_ss Kernel module, but i'm not able to find this on my cubietruck. Do I have to install an additional Package or do i have to compile the module by myself?

Hello to All! The systeminfo after login does not show up anymore!!! What might be the problem and where to look for fixing it ?? Regards, Ireng

Hello all. I am having problems making nand-sata-install script work for installing to my external HDD. I used this (or similar) script in the past on loboris' images and it was working. After some time and experimenting with other images etc. I settled on Armbian, everything worked great, until I started the same script. I made 30 ish GB partition for the system and leave the rest as NTFS storage partition for mounting it later on the OS. But with armbian's script, i couldn't get my HDD to work with it. I am choosing to boot from sd and system from USB (sata) option, choosing the correct partition (/dev/sda2 in this example) and starting the process but it f…

Hello: First, thank you for all your incredible work in armbian. It is really great what you've done so far. And future looks even better. I come here to try to solve a problem that I have with a cheap usb wifi dongle. The dongle usb identifier is: Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter With armbian 5.14 (and a fresh install image), I followed the instruction here https://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/1237-tutorial-opi-one-wireless-success/ to let it work, without problems. Nice tutorial. My problems began when I was trying to use the same dongle with a fresh installed armbian 5.20. The dongle is not auto…

I'm getting an error and I'd like some feedback if it is a missing package (apt-get) or a bug in OctoPrint or something wrong in Python. It looks like something is blowing up with Python trying to install a package called scandir 1.3, but I'm not getting anything when I google it with the error. Thoughts? The documentation on Git was up to date... the documentation on Octoprint.org is wrong for building it from source.

hi, I'd like to ask regarding the behavior of eht: I want to use eth wire connection as primary ISP connection and wireless connection (using wifi dongle, different network) as backup ISP connection. But when I disconnect the cable physically, the eth0.101 subinterface is sill up, keeping it's IP address. Here's the config: cat /etc/network/interfaces # In real world, this is used on the same situations of auto but the difference is that it will wait an event like "plug the cable" on ethernet interfaces. allow-hotplug eth0 . . . # receive IP-Address from your DSL- or cablemodem auto eth0.101 # Replace "dhcp" with "manual" in the next line, if you are g…

Yesterday I nearly burned my orange pi zero because of the faulty LAN cable, after that, everything I plugged into the expansion board couldn't be detected anymore by lsusb or dmesg, it works fine though if I plug in my thumb drive / usb wifi into the usb port on the main board (Next to the LAN port). How do I know for sure that my expansion board is broken and not the pin headers in the main board ? I'm not an electronic guy I don't know anything about soldering and stuff.

I recently switched from a Raspberry Pi 2 running Arch Linux to a Banana Pi (the original) running Armbian for music streaming using MPD. My output device is an XMOS-based Gustard U12 asynchronous USB transport feeding my DAC via AES/EBU. Using Armbian on the Banana Pi, all my 24-bit/192kHz music is being played back as 24/96, according to the display on the transport and DAC. All other sample rates (44.1, 88.2 etc.) are being played back in their native sample rates, as expected. Is ALSA on Armbian system-wide limited to 96 kHz? I have never had an issue like this before, and I don't know where to begin in regards to troubleshooting. I'm guessing th…

Hi, Can anyone share a version of nightly build for Orange Pi Zero Debian Jessie with kernel 4.11.12 or newest for testing? I don't have the possibility to build own version of Armbian but I can try and tests existing distributions armbian. At current, I have use armbian Debian Jessie with kernel 4.11.5 Regards

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…

Hello, Is such configuration possible: 1. Orange Pi Zero + 2. SPI-boot with no USB storage 3. SD Card has armbian files, but it is not bootable. I red that there is configuration with SPI-boot + USB storage, but not sure if there is a guide/possibility to continue use SD Card. Is that possible, is there any guide? Thank you.

Hi all, I'd like to use a touch display together with my cubietruck. Research shows displays for all other boards but not for cubietruck :-( Isn't there any touch display out there which works with cubietruck?

I want to control a fan via a script. I found a bunch of tutorials for pwm, but they were either for older version of Armbian, or for another board. I could not find a tutorial for Allwinner H6 boards. Apparently simple overlays=pwm doesn't work anymore. Anyone have any pointers as to how to go about it? my goal is to do something like $ ./setfan.sh 50 Setting Fan Duty Cycle to 50%... Nothing more complicated. I have a 5V fan for the system and I just want to tune how fast it should run - now it's going full 100% and it's louder than I'd like. I planned to do this with a trimmer but because the world situation and distances, the trimmer…

Hi! So the problem is when I configure wifi hotspot using hostapd, isc-dhcp-server, and ifupdown, I'm able to start the AP, connect to it, and ping. However, the moment any device connects to the AP the serial console gets spammed with this message around once a second: protocol 0000 is buggy, dev wlan0 This happens on the unofficial Armbian build (from the Armbian OrangePi Zero3 page), DietPi, and the official OrangePi Debian build. The wireless band doesn't matter. Kernel version: 6.1.31-sun50iw9. I tried to set up the AP with NetworkManager, but couldn't manage to connect to it. Probably DHCP issues that I couldn't resolve.

As per the title, I am using the 5.05 Jessie Server image on a OrangePi PC. Every time I shut it down (shutdown -h now) when I power it back up I get errors reading the SD card and it wont boot. I have tried 3 cards, all with the same issue, I can reboot the device with issue and a fsck is clean after every reboot. I do not have a linux machine to scan the card after a power off, so can't check it after it fails. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hello, I'm running a banana pro on the last armbian without any issues on a 16 gb SD Card. I wanted to make a try on a 64 gb card and burn the image on it, I think something went wrong, but now I cannot format or burn anything on the SD card, it says that the media is write protected. I tried to wipe out using parted or some tutos I saw creating an additional Registry key, but nothing worked ! Is my SD broken ? Thanks Greg

Hello, I'm trying to boot an Orange Pi Plus with Armbian 5.20, and it does not work. I've already check that both OPi and my sdcard work fine, because I can flash and boot the images on orangepi.org site. Besides, I checked how u-boot starts with both Armbian and "debian server" orangepi.org image (both attached)

cheers, new to this, so far have created xenial core, installed virtualbox, built xenial with 4 cpu, 8gb ram, 120Gb vdk, and successfully installed armbian kernel and OS build tools. Was able to build several OPi kernels, then noticed there was only option for OPi + not OPi+ 2 and it appears to only support 1GB of the 2GB available. Its this a viable option? will it automatically do 2GB on boot or is it specifically limited? Not sure which parameters to change. Also looking for an accurate schematic of the Orange Pi Plue 2 would appreciate it if someone can send me a link. My application is to setup SPI and i2C and from weeks of reading this …
