first off: I'm totally new in the Linux world, but it's really fun to play with *Pis! currently I'm on a OPILite but I have some RasPis lying around and just ordered a nanoPieNEO2. I'm trying to setup a filesystem that supports deduplication, as far as I can tell that's ZFS or BTRFS. After a lot of reading and learning I got BTRFS with bedup running, but bedup is only file-wise deduplication. The solution for block-wise would be duperemove, but I can't find/get/install/build it for armhf. Has somebody tried block-wise deduplication before and can point me in the right direction? I'm running armbian 5.31 on 4.11.5

Hi there! I have been playing around with my NanoPi Neo 2 plus, I managed to get initramfs working thanks to the kernel config of armbian. I have just noticed a problem: only the first of the two USBs works. The second is completely dead. Big disclaimer: I am using an HTC PSU that provides only 1A, not the 2A that should be fed, although I do not know if this could be the cause of the issue. Aside from this problem, I cannot see other issues. Wifi is working and I disabled bluetooth. lsusb without anything plugged in to USB: Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 005 Device 001: ID…

Hi, I installed pyA20 on my Orange pi PC2 and running one of the test files I'm getting segmentation fault. I am running ARMBIAN 5.34.171029 nightly Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS. Can somebody help me troubleshoot the problem? Thanks,

There appears to be a problem or incompatibility with the new 2018.05 u-boot configuration and/or implementation and the Armbian sunxi-next startup scripts (both in the current master branch). The "fdt" command processing doesn't appear to properly expand local environment variables before trying to execute them (?). Here's an example from a vanilla Armbian boot (u-boot 2018.05) - notice the "libfdt fdt_path_offset() returned FDT_ERR_NOTFOUND" errors when the DT fixup script runs: ...

Hi, I installed Armbian image 20.8.1-focal-5.8.5 to Orange Pi PC. I am experiencing issues with playing sounds (tested with playing .wav files). Upon starting playback first 1-2 seconds are omitted and then sound plays as it should. I didn't notice this issue on Xenial (3.4.113). Issue is identical to the ones reported in following threads: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/12059-orange-pi-lite-missing-first-second-of-the-audio-output/ https://forum.armbian.com/topic/12059-orange-pi-lite-missing-first-second-of-the-audio-output/ Has anyone managed to solve it? Thanks

The system displays two WLANs, but in reality, there is only one onboard wireless network card. The network connection is slow and disconnected. The official system of Orangepi is normal, this issue occur in the new version of the Armbian system. logs：https://paste.armbian.com/eborebaviq

Orange Pi PC slow browser performance and very slow video playback in browser from youtube does anyone else have same issue ? any way to fix this ?

Hi! Is it only me or there are no updates to packages? Let me explain, I'm running jessie server on A20 latest stable kernel and when I run apt-get update, apt-get upgrade there are never updates available. I have experienced this for some of the latest releases and now I'm starting to thing that something is wrong with my system. Especially because I have a raspberry pi and that (yes, I know is raspbian) is getting updates to packages from time to time. I haven't modified or customized anything in the sources list. And the thing is that I'm getting updates for firmware/kernel when they are available. Any ideas? Is it something normal for armbian (/debian)?

I wanted to new install my Cubietruck with the new Jessie images. But how can i install to boot from Nand and SSD. Can´t find nand.install.sh Is this gone? Why? Thx Thomas

Hello: I have an issue with one of my opi pc boards: When I connect it to hdmi tv and tv is not connected (switched on before booting the soc), I get just a red screen. Armbian is up and ready. I can log through ssh. Tested in Armbian_5.38_orangepipc_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop and openelec (last version). Same problem in both. I'm looking for mods in the .fex file (if there are any that applies to this case). So far I checked http://sunxi.org/Fex_Guide without luck. Time ago, I had a similar problem with an raspberry pi. In this case it was solved with a parameter in the config.txt (hdmi_force_hotplug=1). With thi…

Hi, Please see my comments in the other thread: Essentially when booting a Neo Core using the current air/core mainline image, the onboard fast ethernet is not being initialised. At a guess its because this is not included in the device tree (dtb/dts) for the nano pi air image or in uBoot config - however, if the image is to serve both boards it almost needs to - or they need to be separated. Both are probably reasonable options. Right now i'm trying to understand where the board defs for ethernet are collected during the image build using the armbian build environment and try and get a functional image with fast ethernet for the core…

Dear all, I discovered that the leds section is missing in the devicetree of orangepizeroplus2 H5 (at least upto kernel 4.14.39), and had to write an overlay to get them to work. The overlay has been attached. I've added this overlay file to /boot/overlay-user/ and added the overlay in /boot/armbianEnv.txt as follows: Kind regards, Dennis sun50i-h5-orangepi-zeroplus-leds.dts

Hi, I'm running a NEO2 with Ubuntu at a remote location, so watchdog would be very important to have. Didn't use it before, but afaik H5 SoC supports hardware watchdog. How should I turn it on and do I need to install and configure anything? I read about H3, but not sure about H5. Thanks!

Hi, I have an Armbian image that uses the DTB for the Banana Pi R1 aka Lamobo R1 device. That same image boots fine also on a Banana Pi M1 device, but still needs the DTB be switched to the M1 device. On the online help page https://docs.armbian.com/known_issues/cubox/ it is written that one can do such a DTB-switching with the armbian-config tool: "use armbian-config to select proper DTB for your board (armbian-config -> system -> DTB)" BUT: there is no "system" entry in my version of armbian-config: Armbian 5.31 stable Debian 8.11 configuration utility, http://www.armbian.com And the login message says: Welcome to ARM…

I want my armbian (running on OrangePi lite) to output 2560x1440p60 resolution. the h3disp tool has an option for 2048x1536 (3:4) but not for 1440p. How can I get 1440p output?

Hey, i hope this has not been answered already but i could not find it. I also hope this is the right place to report it. The orange pi + does not appear in the list of devices https://www.armbian.com/download/?tx_maker=xunlong but there is a download page for it you can reach by the search. https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-plus/ i assume its a bug in the web page?

Hello Community! I am struggling with assigning numbers to I2C buses in my BPi, doing the same(?) thing in two different ways i am getting two different results. By default, there is only /dev/i2c-0 node available, AFAIK because HDMI uses this bus. 1. Using build-in overlay for i2c0 bus (overlays=i2c0 in /boot/armbianEnv.txt) enables another i2c bus. In this case, /dev/i2c-0 is the bus connected to pins 3 and 5 at 40-pin header. The other bus (enabled by default) becomes /dev/i2c-1. It doesn't matter how many times i reset my board, assignment doesn't change. 2. The second way is to create my own overlay by cloning this code and …

Hi, I'm new with Armbian, have some experience with Raspberry. I have succesfully installed it on a bananaPi. uname -a Linux bananapipro 4.4.3-sunxi #19 SMP Tue Mar 1 21:34:52 CET 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux Then I have installed Logitechmediaserver with dpkg -i logitech....deb It runs well, but after a reboot the installation is not there anymore. /var/lib is default, the init.d-script is also not there. Any hints? Edit: I have the message for 19 updates, so I made apt-get update After reboot, all updates are gone and I get the message for the 19 updates again. Regards DoXer

I am working on a new project which uses the Banana Pi to capture USB output destined for a printer in order to log the output from a system. The BananaPi will need to be a simple plugin which sits between the machine and a connected USB printer - so we want to: a ) Mimic the connected USB printer (so that the machine thinks it still has the original printer attached) b ) Capture the output from the machine c ) Send the captured output onwards to the printer. The BananaPi seemed the obvious choice as it has the built in USB OTG port and we would use the gadget printer to mimic the attached printer. Unfortunately, the Bananian images do not support the gadget printer a…

This may be one of those questions that should be considered dumb, but I'll risk your flames and ask regardless. Is the Orange Pi ONE GPIO Pin layout the same as the Raspberry Pi? I haven't found much specific to GPIO on the Orange Pi One, but I did see someone who said they were flipped 180 from the RPI. Before I attach a project and risk frying project and./or board, could you point me to a reference that specifies the layout of the GPIO pins on the Orange Pi ONE? And, like I said, I'm really sorry if this is the dumbest thing you've had to read all day. I have searched, but could not find much specific to the ONE.

So... second sack at the sav here. Last time i wrote i had a kingson sd card ( a low one ) but it was recomended to buy a Samsung Evo sd card instead. So after i confirmed one of the kingston sd cards was bad i more or less whent thru the warranty getting a refund for that one ( not sure why i botherd since it was so cheap ). Anyhow. Got my Samsung EVO card and tryed with DD in linux and rufus wich you guys recomend for windows and still same issue with Armbian. It boots the other distros like Debian and Ubuntu from the orange pi's webpage but no ethernet. And when i try armbian i get the uboot text thru the ftdi but it does not find any boot device.

Lucky me received a Beelink X2 as a gift days ago. I flashed Legacy 3.4.112 to a Samsung EVO and am pretty stoked to see this display on an HDMI TV. It doesn't display to DVI but I saw reference to h3disp, so I have hope this applies. I'd like to incorporate a Traveller mode (I made that up) that can be set so the unit knows monitors are likely to change and find an automatic way for this to detect DVI. I'll also get a cheap USB soundcard and output to a monitor that has a soundbar and avoid SPDIF for a while. That's about it: play tutorials and enjoy what Armbian can do. I can't tell you how blown away I am with this neat little Beelink X2, or how much I'm in aw…

Hi, I'm trying to set up my Orange PI 2 with very specific resolution. I tried a lot of advices from this forum but still can't force it to work.

Just a FYI Previously using nmtui-connect and adding a Wifi Config would survive across reboots.

Hi, Since recent I have an issue that my Orangepi doesn't start anymore. My microSD is fine (did a full diskcheck using badblocks on ubuntu), en I can access all the files without issues. However, it doesn't want to boot. Every time I try to boot it (Orangepi pc), it gives the first black screen until starting kernel, and then gets stuck on the blinking underscore. For information: I have an Orangepi PC and Armbian 5.32 with mainline kernel. Now, this happened after I did an apt-get upgrade (incl. kernel upgrade) from 5.30 to 5.32, and then didn't reboot, but my orangepi had a short power interruption. After this it didn't want to start…

Hi, Just a quick question as Debian Stretch has been out for a while now: Will there be an official upgrade of ARMBIAN for the Cubietruck (Cubieboard 3) at some point or is there a simple doc on how to upgrade the distribution? I run ARMBIAN with the legacy kernel (3.4.113-sun7i). Everything required for the system boot is in the NAND while the root and /home partitions are on the sdd. Would it be possible to upgrade to Stretch just by replacing the version name in the sources.list file? If there won't be any automated ARMBIAN upgrades to Stretch for this device. Would you recommend using the official Debian distribution (and bo…

Hello, Just started on the latest Neo2 Ubuntu (Armbian_5.34.171121_Nanopineo2_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.13.14) as we were tired trying to get around the challenges of the Ubuntu Core provided by FriendlyARM. Have enabled SPI we think (armbian-config->system/hardware/spi-spidev) and rebooted, but even after full power cycle we don't see anything in /dev/spi*. Is there anything special/additional we need to do to get SPI working (which we know does from our Ubuntu Core build). Thanks Rob

Do not pass the ping, connection to the SSH. But you can connect from the outside through the routed ports of the router to the SSH. Pings from it pass only to the router (192.168.0.1). Prior to other devices in the local network, pings also do not reach. This is when the internal network disappeared. Before its disappearance with pings and connections on the SSH, there are no problems. What could be the problem? armbianmonitor -u - http://ix.io/17Ni

Greetings, i want to run some shaders on a headless OrangePI Zero (H2+/Mali 400 running standard Armbian on mainline kernel). I saw there are drivers available now.

Hi,guys! when I build a pthon3 script with gui and GPIO contorl.I can run it when I use terminal with sudo command. But when I used "settings->session and startup" to config this script,It can't run when my device reboot (Orange Pi PC).

And then I tried to edit "/etc/rc.local" file and add: "echo 'password'|sudo -S python3 /home/kwan/OPi_PC/u_main.py &" still the same. The problem is when I run the other script without GPIO config and sudo command. It can run when device reboot. So,It's ther…

Hi everyone! I wonder if modifying the "fbdev" driver to use Mali GPU to improve gaming performance is possible.

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 all, First, thanks to Igor for his job with Armbian: Scripts, compilations etc. Very apprecied so far. I own an Orange Pi 1 based on A20 SoC. Armbian kernel 4.4.1 is installed, no problem. (I have used the Igor's script to upgrade it) But I'm trying to change the bin file in /boot/bin, it seems to not work, no change if I set screen0_output_mode = 5 In orangepi.fex Of course, I'm using the bin2fex & fex2bin exec on my desktop (Kubuntu 16.04 x64), and I copy the new bin file in /boot/bin/orangepi.bin The goal is to change the first resolution, because I would like to solve this problem (see the photo, the display exceeds) on my DIY tablet. …

Can the opi zero decode anything above 1080p? I want to decode a 3MP h.264 stream (2048*1538) and re-encode it to 1080p and serve over RTSP. do I need to get an H3 for that? the wiki says http://linux-sunxi.org/H2%2B#Variants Is that HDMI specific or lack of GPU power for decoding? Will that be pushing it too much even on an OPI PC?

Hi. For some days I was working to compile a customized live distro based on Armbian and live-boot for my BananaPi M2+ board. Finally, it is ready to use. It boots from the builtin emmc flash and is completely readonly. It uses overlayfs together with squashfs. It also uses zram as swap to enhance memory capacity. A nice effect is that the sd/flash image becomes only 400mb, since it is squashed.. I would share the image and the details of making it, if somebody is interested, send me a message...

Hi folks, I tried to run jdownloader on orange pi pc under armbian 5.25 but it was not successful, i noticed that java uses more than 100% of cpu, is it normal ? Best regards. Adel.

Hi guys, I have just completed to build my "development workspace" including OpenCV, Qt5 and working OV5640. I've noticed that people reach about 30 fps of the frame rate using VGA/QVGA resolution. Datasheet says about 120 FPS for QVGA and 90FPS for VGA. I was working with this camera chip on STM32Fx and I got much better results than OPI0+ Is it weird, it is? I am wondering what is a limitation to get better performance and quality on this camera. I plan to write drivers myself, however I want to be sure it is only driver limitation. Any advice will be appreciated.

Hello guys, I have an BananaPi M1 board runing armbian 5.31, already installed apache and mysql months ago, also an sata drive and the box is running smooth, I have alot of sensors around the house that are pushing new values to my mysql database, every minute, or every few minutes, but now I want to setup my cameras to use the FTP to store images in a folder accessible by apache, when cameras detect motion, can you point me in the right direction to install a FTP server I want to be able to see all the images saved by the cameras, in my dashboard, a website I made and host in this BananaPi box.

How do I get a desktop running on this (legacy)? It only outputs a shell on the video out Additionally, is the hw video decoder enabled? Armbian_5.30_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113

Hello again, I downloaded the latest Orange Pi Win Ubuntu server – legacy kernel and installed it. It works fine, but when I connect from my win10 notebook via ssh with “putty” or “Windows power shell” the connections stops after the input of the right password. If the Password is wrong i have to re type it. Service ssh status: pam_unix(sshd:sessions): session opened for user root (uid=0) So it looks like the ssh on my “OPI win” works, but on putty I have only a blinking cursor. When I connect ssh via my android phone it works, without problems. Had anyone ells this problem? greeting…

CONFIG_BTRFS_FS_CHECK_INTEGRITY is not enabled in config. When I tried to enable it in the armbian build system, I saw the word "DANGEROUS". Is this an unstable (or dangerous) feature ? Should I enabled it and use it ? if not, how to ensure data integrity ?

Hi there, I got some NanoPi-NEO running and need to update the kernel, modules and dtb's. With 4.18 the Ethernet does not seem to get started correctly. I noticed a change in u-boot and the newer Armbian releases have Ethernet-Support in u-boot. So my basic idea is to not just copy the kernel files but also update u-boot via dd command. I suppose there are at least 3 regions in the image: 1. the partition table which I don't want to change. 2. the u-boot configuration which I'd like to keep. 3. the u-boot runtime. So for #2 and #3 I'll need an image file. I'm trying to set-up a build environment f…

Hi, Can someone help me on how we can set a uBoot splash screen (with a .bmp) instead of the running boot text? Need this in a OPiPC, legacy (3.4.113). Any help is welcome. Christos

Hi, Sorry, I don't know if correct topic, but I have a Orange PI 3 and have problem with DNS resolution. I tried with image Armbian_5.82.19042 based in Debian and Ubuntu but is imposible make to work. I added the line net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf file but this change not resolved the problem. For example if I try to ping www.google.com sometime take a 25 second for DNS resolve to IP address. I don't see any problem with my local network because I have other devices that not have any problem with DNS resolution. Please, your help.

Hi I was trying to setup an mini arcade to my room. I was using retrorangpi 4.2 full desktop (Debian Jessie) on my orangepipc. When it was booting, the screen is only red and the info showing in my monitor is DVI-HDMI 720p 60 but I am not using a HDMI TO DVI converter. I try to configure my display on armbian-config and I choose HDMI not DVI but the result is the same after rebooting. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

Greetings, after a long time I am playing with my old Banana Pi Pro again. This time with the intention to probably use it on IoT purposes. That implies I only need WIFI and the GPIO pins. Which gives some opportunity to save power by powering down every thing else which is not needed. My first approach here is to strip down everything from the device tree I don´t need. That means everything related to: framebuffer hdmi lcd sata display engine ethernet video codec usb ir gpu/mali That resulted in a drop in power consumption in idle from: ~0.990 - ~1.330W to: ~0.700 - ~1.000W …

Bookworm 6.1.30 - wi-fi don't work.

Hello, I hope someone might help me on this. Is anyone here using the ENC28J60 Ethernet port on an Orange Pi Zero 2W or Orange Pi Zero 3? If so, can you please share the file .dts (or .dtbo) that is working for you? I've generated a .dtbo using the file in https://github.com/armbian/sunxi-DT-overlays/blob/master/examples/spi-enc28j60.dts, with: dtc -I dts -O dtb -o /boot/overlay-user/spi-enc28j60.dtbo spi-enc28j60.dts but still it doesn't work. It says "chip not found". I'm using the same cable pinout as in my Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and it works successfully, but not in the Orange Pi Zero 2W. Any idea?

Hi, I'm wondering if I can use your images for running an audio streamer, outputing digital audio via USB Audio Class 2 (for connection to an external DAC). at : http://www.igorpecovnik.com/2014/11/18/olimex-lime-debian-sd-image/ you mention that it does not have audio driver : does this mean that even USB audio cannot be achieved ? If not, any hints on why this is not supported ? Thanks!

Hi. I'm looking for your kernel sources 3.4.113 with Mali400Mp driver. Is there a repo where I can download it or I have to patch myself the sunxi-v3.4.104-r0 kernel. In case there is no repo and I have to do this myself could you please tell me if my approach is correct for cubieboard2 and cubietruck3. 1) Download the sunxi kernel 3.4.104-r0 2) Download the armbian sources 5.24 3) Patch the kernel 3.4.104-r0 using lib/patch/kernel/sun7i-default files Did I forget something ? It would be so much better if I could download your full patched kernel 3.4.113 with Mali400MP driver. I am far from being an expert in this work. Thx

I first noticed this on my Orange Pi Zero. The latest Armbian releases (4.13.x) have some kind of gap between bytes when transmitting over SPI. I have an SPI performance test built into my SPI_LCD code: https://github.com/bitbank2/SPI_LCD If you run the demo program, it measures how many frames per second it can write to an SPI-connected LCD. On older Armbian builds with kernel version 3.x, it would usually get 27-33FPS on the H2/H3 boards. With the mainline kernel builds and running the same code, I'm seeing 9-17FPS (depending on the board). The H5 doesn't seem to be affected (I'm using an Orange Pi Zero +2 H5 for testing also). Anyone else seeing…

Hello everyone. This happens on my OrangePi after a couple of hours of running. I don't think this happened before installing the kernel 4.14.

Hi Experts, I have a strange issue while Armbian installation to my Orange PI PC boards. So there are two SD cards with the same parameters: 1. smartbuy 8gb sdhc class 10 2. OltraMax 8gb sdhc class 10 The problem is that when I use smartbuy card I can install Armbian and it works fine. But when I use OltraMax card I can install Armbian but after first login it asks me the following: Warning: a reboot is needed to finish resizing the filesystem Please reboot the system as soon as possible Ok, I do a reboot and Orange PI PC can't boot Armbian after. Moreover as can I understand I get a boot loader (u-boot) console …

Hello, a few Days ago, i make a new installation on a new SD Card of Buster from here https://www.armbian.com/cubietruck/ on my Cubietruck. Everythink looks fine and run well, but now i have sometimes no connection over ssh to my Cubietruck and the only Think that helps, is to pull the Power Cuble. After i plug it again, everything runs fine a time long..... What can this be? What can i do? Thank you

Dear forum, When looking at the Orange Pi Zero schematic V1.1, the OSC-RTC box is empty. Does this mean that there is no crystal for the internal RTC? The internal RTC cannot be used at all? When just checking the time register, the RTC is running too fast. Thanks, Arjan

Hello, I have two Banana Pi Pro boards with current Armbian 20.02.1_Bananapipro_buster_current_5.4.20_minimal, kernel 5.4.20-sunxi and both have small SSD connected (WD 120GB and Goodram 120GB). fdisk -l doesn't show any drive's except sdcard (and ram drives). Is there any way I can get it working?

Hi, I have a orange pi zero with NAS expansion (128 MB msata drive) I would like to boot only msata.... So, How I to do ?

Hello, Earlier on this week I decided to upgrade the kernel and the DTBs on my Armbian cluster (quite a few different boards but all of them based on Allwinner A20) from buster-next-5.92 to buster-current-20.08.2. Having successfully completed the upgrade on several other servers, I moved on to the lime2 one - which promptly failed to come back up after the reboot. Connecting the serial console shows u-boot doing its thing without issues and the kernel beginning to boot, producing normal messages - only to suddenly freeze. When exactly the freeze occurs varies, sometimes it even happens halfway through outputting a message line - but it is definitely before th…

I made an application with opengles which works correctly in armbian xenial 3.4.113, I always have 40 or 50 fps, also if I run the es2gears program it gives me a constant 300 fps, I wanted to change to a more current kernel and download armbian buster, but here my program runs at 5 or 6 fps, and es2gears does not exceed 30 fps. I was reading the posts on the subject in the forums and I found that installing the lima driver activated 3d acceleration, but I could not make it work. Some information that can help me activate 3d acceleration with kernel 5.8 I am using an orange pi one thanks: D

Hello, I was looking for Kali on BPi and tried the "Kali Linux BananaPi offensive-securityDOTcom-2020.04"-image without success.

When i first tried out my orange pi prime in october 2020 i thought i recalled that the wifi worked. With a current armbian image, the wifi can't authenticate. I tried several of the available kernel images. I'm sure that the wpa2 password is correct because I control the router and other devices connect all the time. If i plug in an ath9x usb wifi dongle, that is able to connect, so it would appear to be an issue with the onboard rtl8723bs driver.

I'm working with a Orange Pi zero and a new user to Armbian. I'm working with a Orange Pi Zero LTS(H2). From u-boot: CPU: Allwinner H3 (SUN8I 1680) Model: Xunlong Orange Pi Zero The serial console is working. I'm able to see the kernel and init output, and interact with u-boot.

Hello, I'm using an SPI device with my board and kernel 3.4. It works like a charm, except that in the bin/fex file I had to add the following lines : [spi_devices] spi_dev_num = 2 [spi_board0] modalias = "spidev" max_speed_hz = 1000000 bus_num = 2 chip_select = 0 mode = 3 full_duplex = 0 manual_cs = 0 [spi_board1] modalias = "spidev" max_speed_hz = 1000000 bus_num = 1 chip_select = 0 mode = 3 full_duplex = 0 manual_cs = 0 without those lines, no /dev/spidevX.Y Now I'm testing new kernels (Jessie Kernel 3.19 / 4.0.4 mainline) and it seems that the bin/fex is ignored now. It uses the device tree files. (/boot/dtb/) but I don't know what I have to do to get my…

Hi, Thanks to this great project I sucessfully installed armbian on my cubietruck and moved the installation (Vanilla Jessie) to a hard disk. Now I want to move the remaining SD parts (obviously only /boot) to another (much smaller) SD card. Creating a partition and copying the stuff 1:1 does not work (leaves the new SD card unbootable. How to achieve the above? Thanks Thom
