I try to use DS1302 RT Clock for my Orange Pi One that uses armbian. I connected this way: DS3102 VCC -> OrangePi pin 2 ( 5V ) DS3102 GND -> OrangePi pin 9 ( GND ) DS3102 CLK -> OrangePi pin 3 ( TWI0_SDA ) DS3102 DAT -> OrangePi pin 5 ( TWI0_SCK ) I added i2c0 to overlays of /boot/armbianEnv.txt and rebooted.

Hy I'm currently trying to run a DS18B20 Temperature Sensor on the PA20 Port on my Neo Core 2. The w1_gpio und w1_therm modules are loaded but still I can't see the senors in the /sys/bus/w1/devices/ folder. (28-xxxx) Now I read in different threads to edit the FEX file in the /boot/ folder. So I would bee to first covert the script.bin to the script.fex. However I can't find any *.bin file in the /boot/ folder... So is the PA20 Port the correct 1Wire port? And how can I change this port to eg. GPIOG11 if I can't find the script.bin in the /boot/ folder? Andy

Been trying to use a DS18B20 with the Lamobo R1 and the last ArmBian, without success. As I have already an RTC in the first pins, connected it as follows: PIN 16=GPI04 / DATA PIN 17=3.3V PIN 20=GND I also added the required resistor between 3.3V and GPI04. Add to /etc/modules w1_sunxi w1_gpio w1_therm Added to my fex file: [w1_para] w1_used = 1 gpio = 16 Modified my dts: pinctrl@01c20800 { .... my_w1_pin@0 { allwinner,pins = "PH16"; allwinner,function = "gpio_in"; allwinner,drive = <0x0>; …

Is there an easy way to dual boot Armbian and OpenElec on my OrangePi PC.

Hi, is it possible to install armbian on the emmc and a second armbian on the microsd card? So, if no microsd card insert the nanopi boot from emmc, otherwise boot from microsd?

In case anyone else is considering this. I can confirm that I was able to compile Dual DHCP DNS Server on the Orange Pi Zero Plus board by using the instructions for 64 bit Linux as given in the Dual DHCP DNS Server manual (in the download). The project is hosted on Source Forge https://sourceforge.net/projects/dhcp-dns-server/ This is a very lightweight but powerful DHCP/DNS server for Windows and Linux. I currently am running a primary server on Windows and a secondary on the Orange Pi. My current OS is ARMBIAN 5.38 stable Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS 4.14.48-sunxi64. I suspect that it will work for other versions of the OS and board too. Daemonize proved to be s…

On a previous build (and separate board), I have both wlan0 and wlan1 showing up as wireless interfaces on my OrangePi+ board. I have since upgraded the image on a new board, and now I only see wlan0. The software I've written for the board relies on having both wireless interfaces present, however, I'm not sure how to get the other one to show up. I've performed the apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, and then installed the image to EMMC. I've basically got a fresh image, and I'm unsure what I need to do next in order to get the wireless adapters to show up properly. Can someone help me out? Thank you!

Hi, I trying to record transport stream from USB DVB-T card, but I have some problem with dvbstream. Card work well with mumudvb. Currently I'm using Armbian Ubuntu Xenial on H3 (Orange Pi PC), unfortunately dvbstream (installed from repository) don't want to lock fronted to desire frequency, while dvbtune (0.5.ds-1) (installed from the same repository ) work fine. In this case I downloaded dvbtune (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/dvbtune_0.5.ds.orig.tar.gz) from source, but after compile not want to work. Do you have any idea what could be wrong? why dvbtune not work after compilation? Thank You.

Hello, First of all, please understand that I am a beginner level. My project is to make a NextcloudPlus on a Lime2 NAND version because of the following reasons : - Lime2 is Open source board, so no third party code into it - NAND version because I don't want to rely on a micro SD card, as it can be unstable for too many read/write (NextcloudPlus indexes a lot with sync). - SATA version because I would like to store data through a SATA HDD (I feel it is more stable than USB). So, I have tried to make : nand-sata-install ...but after shutting down and removing the micro SD cart, it was impossible to boot from NAND (the…

Hello guys, there is a question, is there an EDK2(tianocore) for orange pi 3 lts? If yes, how can it be compiled? Maybe there are projects to run uefi operating systems for arm on orange pi.

I have an Orange Pi Plus 2E I'm using as a cheap desktop computer/kiosk. I want to run Armbian on eMMC but use an SD card for file storage. If I boot off the eMMC, then insert an SD card (formatted as ext4) after boot, the system works well.

Hi, yesterday I used the latest mainline built (https://dl.armbian.com/lime2/Debian_jessie_next.7z) on Olimex Lime2-emmc 4 GB but i can not access the eMMC. I only tested once with the latest mainline built. I have read other old topics about patching uboot but I wonder if I really need to patch uboot or if this a problem (bug?) with the latest built. Is there any .deb file available with the patched uboot? Thank you

At first i like to say that this problem is not caused by Armbian. On my OpiPC+ my EMMC has became unusuable. I got a first hint to this by updating 5.17 Jessie Desktop to 5.20, that failed after downloading 135 MB of Files. I did not thought of an Error and compiled 5.20 myself, put it on SDcard and run nand-sata-install. The Script does it work without any Errors, but after power down, the Opi did not come up again. Put in the SDcard again and tried to look at the EMMC but it was not mountable. There were some Errors fixed by running fsck but next time i tried to write on the Emmc i got Errors again, in fact i tried to run nand-sata-install again after i trie…

Hi all, I have an application running on an orange pi pc plus 2 over the emmc 8gb memory. Everything is in there (os, db sw) and what it does is acquiring data from some sensors and then pushing it over mqtt to a server. Now, due to frequent internet connection issues, the board is able to store up to ~ 1 month of data in a local db but this means quite a lot of writes per seconds (plus all the logs). I would like to have an idea of how much the emmc can keep up with this rates and thus I am trying to understand how to calculate the life span in years (hopefully nothing less). Can anyone help me on how to do that? I am using right …

Thanks for the hard work on Armbian. I finally got the EmulationStation GUI to run under OpenGL ES @ ~88fps on OrangePI PC. The trick was mostly building SDL2 from source and not installing it with apt-get per the instructions. Really want to avoid anything "mesa". IIRC, I configured SDL2 with a similar command before making: ./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf --disable-video-opengl Then building EmulationStation from source using: cmake -DGLSystem=OpenGL\ ES . make make install FWIW I did symlink some shared objects into /usr/lib/ (like libMali.so) Next is sorting out libretro stuff.

Orange Pi Zero Plus2 H5 I currently am booting from the onboard 8GB EMMC. As I am still experimenting with this board, sometimes I would like to wipe and start from a backup remotely, keeping a copy of my backup on an SD card that's in the machine used for extra storage space. I use timeshift on my Mint laptop that restores a snapshot of / from an SDcard, but it is a graphical utility. Is there a similar CLI utility for Armbian? Or one that can be installed? Thanks.

Hi, I tried to enable the i2c in u-boot by using the config flags shown in the Readme. But I had no success. What do I miss?

Hi, I need to use the i2c in the u-boot stage. I've added a patch that enables this i2c bus in the device-tree, and when I run this command (just for example): sudo i2cset -y 2 0x1b 0x1 0xf AFTER the boot stage it seem to work. However when I try this command IN THE boot stage, I get: Unknown command 'i2cset' - try 'help'. 1. I guess I'm trying to use 'i2cset' in a too early stage - any idea how to control the i2c in the u-boot stage or how to make 'i2cset' available at the u-boot stage ? 2. Since 'i2cset' doesn't work in the u-boot stage, I don't know if the i2c is enabled at this stage (I know it's enabled after boot) - how can…

The orange pi zero has a USB OTG interface, which can be used to interact with it in the absence of networks and spare USB-UART converters. This is not enabled by default in the Armbian image. Here I describe how to modify the system image before first boot to enable this. First, mount the freshly written SD card on a linux computer, become root, and change directory to the mount point, that is, the root directory of the SD card. The following couple of steps were taken from https://oshlab.com/enable-g_serial-usb-otg-console-orange-pi-armbian/which describes how to enable this in a live system, i.e. after first boot. The steps are modified to work on the moun…

Hello, it seems like there are no dts files to add support for i2s. How hard would it be to complete this task? The documentation from h6 references support for i2s, and the same in the user manual from Xunlog : http://dl.sumnic.com/download/OrangePi-One-Plus.pdf Edit:After some reading, i2s is not working for now and there's no proper driver yet.

Means like compile DTB to DTS, make changes and then again recompile it to a DTB like we do in the script.bin file of legacy kernel. Earlier I have used to mention "overlays=uart1 uart2" in the armbianEnv.txt file but, this didn't work for me .

Dear all, I need your help. I've built a fresh pcDuino3 firmware: Armbian 5.14 Pcduino3 -default - Debian 8 Jessie - CLI - Kernel 3.4.112 And now I'm trying to enable UARTs (2, 5 and 6). I've edited script.bin and now I got 4 ttyS devices. Could you please tell me how to "atctivate" those UARTs and which pins shoul I use. I guess that UART2 (ttyS1) uses D0 and D1 pins UART5 (ttyS2) uses SPI0_CS and SPI0_CLK pins UART6 (ttyS3) uses SPI0_MOSI and SPI0_MISO pins Am I right ? And how to enable ttySs? I tried following for the UART2 echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/export echo 25 > /sys/class/gpio/export I attached my fex. file and pcDuino3 schema Unfortu…

I've been trying for the last 2 days to get composite video out on the mainline (4.11 and 4.13) kernels on the Orange Pi Zero. I've followed the old guide and the new and nothing works. On the 3.4 kernel, video out worked fine. Can someone please point me to a working set of instructions for accomplishing this?

I am trying to enable Winstar TFT display on Olimex Lime2 board under the kernel 5.4. Display spec is here: https://www.winstar.com.tw/products/tft-lcd/ips-tft/lvds-tft.html Up to the day we've been using the legacy kernel 3.4 and the display worked fine -- the u-boot was compiled with the settings (CONFIG_VIDEO_LCD_MODE, CONFIG_VIDEO_LCD_POWER etc) suggested here: When I try to use the same settings in the mainline sources of armbian, the display does not work. I've enabled backlight with a DTS overlay and the backlight works but the display stays blank. Here is the output of dmesg: [ 2.846134] printk…

Hi, Creating a build for OPiPCPlus, mainline/dev/4.11, xenial,desktop. Need to enable the UDA1380 device in my local kernel build, yet I see some ..obstacles.. Tried initially to do a KERNEL_CONFIGURE="yes" in compile.sh but after started the compile and reached the point of menuconfig the UDA1380 option did not got presented (might be because there is no tristate string in mainline sound/soc/codecs/Kconfig..) so I reverted it back to normal. After the first attempt, I tried by modifying the lib/config/kernel/linux-sun8i-dev.config and added "CONFIG_SND_SOC_UDA1380=m", tried the compile again and waited to finish, yet at the end, although the ot…

Hello All, I have Orange Pi lite which I would like to use as an Airplay device, I have purchased a DAC of the internet and I am trying to connect it via the i2s protocol, According to this tutorial i need to edit the script.bin file to change the I/O configuration of the board. it was mentioned that this file is found in the boot folder, I have been looking and can find this file absolutely no where. What I have done, I downloaded Armbian, written it to a bootable SD card, mounted the SD card and then setup the orange pi via serial communication, I then connected to my WIFI, and set up SSH. I then logged …

Is there any way to get interrupts working on BPI M2 Berry/Ultra? I tried with raspbian and wiringPI/RPi.GPIO but there is a wait for support() “bug” which has been reported a while ago but no updates have been made in the thread. Currently Im running Armbian 22.11.00. If anyone has some experience or suggestion for a library/smth and is willing to share it that would be great. Thank you for your time.

Hi, since Igor told me to enable LCD in u-boot I was searching for a solution. In the menuconfig of Kernel 3.4 ... 3.14 I saw Device Drivers > Graphics Support > Enable driver model support for LCD/video ... Now in menuconfig of armbian with Kernel 4.7.2 I can't see this option. I see attach screenshot. Has anyone an idea how to enable LCD? I'm using LeMaker 5" LCD with CP - Touch. My board is Banana Pi with Allwinner a20.

What are the steps to enable the regular (non-mali) LCD display (lcd0/1) with a Vanilla kernel? I can't find any examples of making the LCD work. What am I missing? Thanks Chris

Dear community, I am experimenting with MangoPi board, trying to communicate with the CC2530 Zigbee board .

Hi All, I'm trying to get usb otg enabled as host mode to add, for instance, a keyboard with a powered hub (I know otg is not delivering power or at least I don't want to drain more power with the otg) I'm using vanilla kernel 4.8.4 so I kind of expect otg enabled as host mode by default.

Hello, I have just bought a bananaPro. I would like to learn a little by installing armbian and enabling the video acceleration. Currently, I have no LCD display, so I would start to install Debian Wheezy or Debian Jessie (legacy) so that to be able to log in through ssh. Nevertheless, on the download page for bananaPro it is said that "Mali drivers fails to compile". Is this driver mandatory for video acceleration to work ? I figured out it was rather related to cedarX. Then, which armbian image is best suited ? Thanks in advance for some piece of advice. Best regards deb2016

Hello, I am developing a project that will use the ethernet module ENC28J60 on orangepi pc plus, but I do not know how to configure armbian to enable using the module. Searching the internet I just found solutions for raspberry. I have already enabled the spi-spidev option using the armbian-config tool. What should I do now? Thanks.

I am planning a project for a few Orange Pi Lites as multimedia devices. I have been testing applications on the Lite with it unenclosed, and without a heatsink and haven't seen any issues with heat so far (running at 1.2 GHz). Is there a general consensus on if this board should have a heatsink when clocked at 1.2 GHz (and is enclosed)? The intended case design has vents.

Hi guys, I was running my Orange Pi Zero Plus perfectly on the dev channel but I did an apt upgrade the other day and it seems to have broken something. I hooked it up to a usb serial device and here's the log: https://pastebin.com/jiB9TZdh Any ideas on how I can fix this? I can interrupt the boot process and I get to a screen where I can run limited commands but I'm not sure what to do at that point. I'm thinking it might be easier to just reflash and start again. This post is mainly for the devs to let them know there might be an issue with one of the kernels? Cheers.

Hello everyone, I have an Orange Pi Lite and I have a problem when I try to shut down the system, I receive stack errors. I've recorded a video to see if it detects what the problem is, I'm new to armbian and linux in general. Except for a bug that occurs in the partition several times (on two different microsd cards), I do not know what the problem might be, I read that it could be a kernel bug, but I'm not sure. I put the video link to see if anyone can help me, it is slowed down so it can be read. If I do not try to turn it off, everything works fine, but when I try to turn it off, it gives the errors and restarts as seen in the video. ​Thanks in advance. …

it appears the pins on the esp8266 12e are also on the orange pi one. Can I connect the pins to an armbian orange pi one and then test the esp8266 12e? I want to test if wifi works. Is required software present in armbian? Or should I get an usb adapter https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1pm33XifrK1RjSspbq6A4pFXaf.jpg?width=1000&height=1000&hash=2000 and utilize a x86 gnulinux computer? It says the esp8266 12e supports i2c. Does the orange pi one have i2c pins, such that I can test the wifi of the esp8266 12e from an i2c connection on the armbian orange pi one? Is required software present in armbian? Thanks.

I am having problems with ethernet, the sbc was connected to 100 mbps network and it worked normally, but recently i relocated it and connected it to another cable, the problem is that now i only get 10mbps, the cable is ok because it tried in my pc and got 100mbps, but i only get 10mbps on the sbc, then i found how to fix this in settings, but i acidentally removed ethernet connection that i was using and now the ethernet doesn't work, do i have to change something in network interfaces? also it says no link detected

With the Orange Pi One and the mainline kernel, I can't get it to work optimally when plugged into a gigabit switch. The eth interface on the Pi One is 100Mb/s and it works perfectly when attached to a switch that is 100Mb/s. When attached to a 1000Mb/s switch: [112776.347520] dwmac-sun8i 1c30000.ethernet eth0: Link is Up - 100Mbps/Full - flow control off When attached to a 100Mb/s switch: [112882.431555] dwmac-sun8i 1c30000.ethernet eth0: Link is Up - 100Mbps/Full - flow control rx/tx

I believe that ethernet adaptor is not working properly because there's only one led blinking and its unable to receive ip address. I have tried to configure it with yaml files and manually with networkd and with static ip. I also tried to run dhcp on that interface and it received random ip outside of my network. Had no luck with network-manager either, it threw an error "ip configuration could not be reserved" With desktop image ethernet worked with no problem. So maybe there's a driver issue?

Hi, I am currently testing an Orange Pi 3 with your nightly distributions (for instance Armbian_5.83.190424_Orangepi3_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_5.0.9), and they work fine but have some issues.

As I am trying to configure my board in bonding mode with an external wifi usb adapter (because the embedded wifi is not yet supported by armbian for Orange Pi 3), my bonding is not working because the link status on eth0 is always yes. I have also checked /sys/class/net/eth0/carrier and it is always "1" e…
