Hi everyone, I connected my board with my PC via serial USB. Then I opened a serial with minicom and tried to test it out. I can send the strings from my board to PC without any problems but when I write something on the PC it sends garbage to my board. But, if I connect the TX, RX like: TX->TX RX->RX instead of TX->RX, RX->TX it sends normal from the PC and garbage from the board. I checked my baud rates but everything seems legit. I tried both 9600, 115200 bit rates, I also tried the both voltages (5V, 3.3V) What do you think could cause this problem? I saw this thread but seems like ther…

Is there a gc2035 driver module available or in development for the H5? There doesn't seem to be one in the 5.37.171220 build for Orange Pi Zero Plus 2. sudo modprobe gc2035 modprobe: FATAL: Module gc2035 not found in directory /lib/modules/4.14.7-sunxi64 sudo modprobe gc2035 modprobe: FATAL: Module gc2035 not found in directory /lib/modules/4.14.7-sunxi64

I have Orange PI PC Plus with GC2035 camera module. Upgraded to 4.13.6 sunxi-next mainline kernel and noticed that GC2035 camera driver is gone! Why is it so? Maybe someone forgot to include this driver to the kernel? People are still using these cameras and need them! If it was a conscious decision to remove the GC2035 camera from the sunxi-next tree - then, well, it was a horrible decision that should be reversed. Please return this driver. https://github.com/avafinger/gc2035 Earlier it was at ./drivers/media/video/sunxi-vfe/device/gc2035.c location, but now the directory structure could be very different...

I'm using a fairly newly created Armbian_5.25_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113 on my orange Pi Zero, trying to port a set of programs from Raspberry Pi where they work OK. I use a script to build: gcc -o myProgram myProgram.cpp -lwiringPi -llibpthread and my problem is that ld reports that it cannot find libpthread.so. find / -name libpthread.so -print reports that the library is located in /usr/lib/arm-Linux-gnueabihf/ and indeed it is. There is no ld.so.conf file in /etc. so how do I get my program to complete linkage? Peter. PS: I seem to have succes…

Hi guys. I've just spent yet another two hours trying to find an answer to my webcam problem and there does not seem to be an answer from what I can discern. Still working to try to get a camera to work with Octopi from what I have around. Strange thing I discovered that the USB OTG port on the Opi One does not seem to work, but when plugged into my single regular USB, I get this for the camera: pi@citrico-opione:~/ffmpeg_cedrus264_H3$ lsusb Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 002: ID 1908:2310 GEMBIRD Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux …

So you guys that have more experience, what should I be looking at, when I find some code that runs on a Raspberry Pi to verify that it will also run on the Orange Pi PC? If I find some interesting code on Github for example . Regarding GPIO I think there shouldn't be any problem, since we have WiringOPI and that py20a or how its called. But what about i2c lcd's, max7219 matrix displays, other stuff? How does it differ the compatibility of boards between python and C code?

Hi, I installed on my Orange Pi Zero (not plus) armbian and using armbian-config I am trying to install Octoprint to control my 3d printer. I got an error: docker: Error response from daemon: error gathering device information while adding custom device "/dev/video0": no such file or directory I have no webcam attached and I am not planning to use it for now, Can I disable this check?

Hello. I'm writing a program that requires sound.target. I was reading about sound.target and how it's a special systemd unit that doesn't load until the system finds the sound card. Armbian takes quite a bit of time to find the sound card on the OPi, around 30 seconds. Or, maybe it's something else that's making it take so long. I was wondering if there was a way I could mess around with systemd or something else to make the sound card found faster, thus sound.target and my program loading faster upon powering on the device. Thank you

Greetings! I have acquired for cheap this old board. It runs an old Android (4.x) and I'd like to run Armbian on it, but lack the knowledge to do that by myself. The idea would be to start with booting a Linux a SD image, then attempt to install it on the onboard flash in place of Android. The board is not for sale anymore and the manufacturer removed any mention of it from their site, however Archive.org has a copy along with related files, manuals, firmware etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20140701064007/http://www.giadatech.com/index.php?act=pShow&id=36 The board presents itself when not in USB host mode as "SoftwinerEvb" which appears to be …

Hi all, I've connected a Serial-TTL converter to my Macbook Pro on one side, and an OrangePi Zero on the other, when I power up the Zero, I'm getting the following, what looks like an output with missing characters: I'm connecting with "sudo screen /dev/cu.usbserial 115200" and the adapter's driver in the network connections is set to 115200. The adapter is an Adafruit USB to TTL Serial Cable with a Prolific chipset. Any ideas?

I know Banana pi had issues in the past connecting at gigabit speeds. I thought that was a fixed problem, though. I did a fresh Jessie server install today and it still connects at 100 megabit. Is there a user action that must be taken? According to http://linux-sunxi.org/LeMaker_Banana_Pi the GMAC wasn't supported in the community kernel but should be in later kernels. Is this still an issue? How does one set GMAC_TX_DELAY to 3? Is that a config file thing or a patch that needs to be applied? Are other Banana Pi owners just living with 100 megabit speeds? A bit of system information: ~> uname -a Linux bananapi 4.6.3-sunxi #7 SMP Tue Jul 5 16:23:41…

I've tried to install GitLab onto Banana PI running Armbian (Ubuntu 16.04 server).

First of all ('Boring' alert!): outstanding job with the new updates. It must be lonely at the top. Kudos! Then (just curious!): is there any particular reason known that the amount of memory is an issue for GLshim? Then secondly: I do have an orange pi + (H3, 1 GB memory, Mali400)... according to the changelog GLShim is not in... For me it does not make sense... Regards, Makama80

I've had an Orange Pi Zero Plus 2 H5 for a few months, and it is driving me crazy. I can easily boot into the useless Android distro included on the eMMC. I can run most of the distros on the OrangePi website, although they seem to all be missing features or not working 100% in one way or another. I would LOVE to run Armbian on this board. Each time I try, I have huge problems. My video signal is often garbled or at best full of artifacts. I get segfaults every few minutes, and it seems like the filesystem is corrupted. I've tried running it with multiple power supplies (I have several Canakit 2.5amp ones), as well as several different gen…

Hi guys, I have the bad idea to build up little by little some house automation with an opi1 that I don't use. Just for fun. So I'd like to start with armbian and build everything from there, with no precompiled images. The first thing I want to try is Google assistant. Can I use the assistant sdk that I can find on official website? Or there is something better for opi? Can I eventually integrate it with something like Hass.io or similar? I'm open for any advice. Thank you in advance

Thought this might help other people, so I wanted to share: https://github.com/robbieh/Inky7-BananaPi

Hello all ! I connected relle to pins (Physical): Relle Orange in 35 gnd 6 ucc 2 But it is constantly active (on), although the port status 32 is off (0). Why is that? # gpio write 24 1 Changes the port status, but has no effect on the relay. Relle ist ON alweys! If you physically disable the pin (in - 35), then the relay is turned off. I just installed the system. I did not install any additional services and packages. Maybe I need to configure something in the system to activate the GPIO?

Hi. I have made a system with O Pi Lite and Armbian to automate an aquarium from where to control the light, the bubbles and with a webcam I can see the system through the web, everything automated from Cron. From a web page I can turn on and off the lights and bubbles from web buttons. Everything is fine. The problem arises when I want to put some phisical buttons for 3 things: turn off the system, change the state of light and bubbles. I have used a code in Python and the PYA20 library. This is the code. It works very well, but when I start it with the system, the program stop working soon and the buttons stop to work. #!/usr/bin/env python from pyA20.gpio…

I would like to set a GPIO to output-high during the boot. In this case, the GPIO is PG0 whose number is 192. The device tree overlay is /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "allwinner,sun50i-a64"; fragment@0 { target = <&pio>; __overlay__ { gpio_out_override_hog { gpio-hog; gpios = <192 0>; /* PG0 */ output-high; line-name = "PG0-gpio-hog"; }; }; }; }; However, after the application and reboot, I do not see any init information in "/sys/kernel/gpio" about GPIO 192. There is no "/sys/class/gpio/gpio192" folder existed after boot either. Is there anything wrong in the overlay file?

Hello, I am new to armbian and am quite impressed of the ease of installation and use. I copied the vanilla headless Debian jessy to a spare SD and the board booted right away. So first of all, many thanks to the developers! I rely on GPIO for my application of the board, so I first tested the export of a GPIO. Normally, the kernel from Olimex gives me something like "gpio64_pg0", which is not very compatible to the programs out in the internet (e.g. OpenHAB.org which I use), so – with this kernel – I was happy to get a standard "gpio1" when echoing "1" to "export". But as soon as I tried to change the direction echo out > gpio1/direction the whole board…

Hi all! I have Orange Pi One with Armbian Debian 5.8.9-sunxi on board. The problem is that when I catch 2 kHz square wave with OPi gpio, I have very big delta between signals. If I use "interrupt both endges" parameter for gpio, time between signals must be 250 microsecs. But now it floats between 200 - 290 microsecs. And I have achive this result after some suggestions from other forum topics: using isolcpu=3, run c program on this cpu, use max priority, disable powersaving for CPU. I try to read with wiringOP lib, and directly from sysfs, but still have jittering about 90 us. Also I think, that I have not very bad results for cyclict…

Hi all, i'm trying compile 3.4.*, i used normal way - i downloaded scripts to manage it, i'm successful with compilation but my issue is that i want to connect relay to banana pi J12 (DIP8) pin 5 which should be PH3 on A20 and that relay should be connected in parallel to switch button on PC ... so it means each switch (even fast) of the level can start turn off pc :-( so my issue is that uboot default configs for banana pi is having irrelevant configuration of pins that are prepared on connectors to be used as GPIO ... for example PH3 and PH5 at banana pi's J12 are not related to VBUS of USB as it's written in configs and fex, please somebody could tak…

Hello everyone :-). I would like help, I checked on the Web and I found using the forum a script (that I modified) to trigger using DTS LEDs. I adapted the script found here at the end of the page: Topic 112-dtb-howto-add-leds I think that for the section "disk-activity" and "netdev" it misses options but I'm not a developer just a scheming. Can you please explain to me how to add options to the mentioned trigger? I searched a lot of time but did not find any information. Here is my script, everything works fine (compiled with armbian-add-overlay), but "disk-activity" and "netdev" do not work. I tested the write / read trigger on disk but did no…

Hello, I'm running Armbian wiith Kernel 3.4.112-sun8i on an Orange PI PC. In addition I compiled WiringOP patched for Orange PI to check GPIO. I have connected a transmitter which communicates using SPI and an additional GPIO PIN to send interrupts. The device is not working yet and I try to find out the problem. It works fine with an Rasp. For example, I'm a little bit confused about the following: /sys/class/gpio/gpio5/direction shows me "in" "gpio readall" shows me: | 18 | 1 | OUT | GPIO.5 | 5 | 24 | Of course, I could change the mode using the gpio command, but I would expect, that both values match? Could it be too, that the inter…

Hello every one I'm new to this site and I have recently purchased an Orange Pi Win Plus but got a lot of issues in configuring it. I'm now able to blink LED through Shell and C with WiringPi but I couldn't find any working Python 3 based Library for GPIO. I installed WiringPi from : https://github.com/OrangePiLibra/WiringPi This actually helped me to access GPIO through C/C++ and Shell but I couldn't find any thing for Python that's working. I came accross a new Python Library : "pyA64" but its not working. Also, the library "OPi.GPIO" doesn't supports my Board. I also tried this : https://github.com/lanefu/WiringPi-Python-OP but that's makes my "gpio" com…

Hi, i have managed to install a wiring Pi version for my Orange Pi lite following this tutorial: https://gist.github.com/lanefu/f16a67195c9fa35c466c6b50cdaeadea The basic examples with inputs and outputs are working fine. Since I want to use a rotary encoder and not loose any steps I want to use a interrupt driven callback. There is an example as well but that does not work. I get: wiringPiISR: unable to open /sys/class/gpio/gpio25/value: No such file or directory I also tried several other libraries but non was working. Has anybody managed to get GPIO interrupt based callbacks working with python an an Oragnge Pi ?

Recently i have been experimenting with interrupts on orange pi zero plus2-H3 trying to capture data-ready pulses from an external adc on gpio PA19. The aim is to synchronize spi-read-data transactions with the incoming adc data-ready signal. First I tried to get it to work on legacy kernel 3.4 by adding the following section in to /boot/script.fex and compile the .fex file to .bin file using fex2bin: [gpio_para] gpio_used = 1 gpio_num = 6 .... gpio_pin_6 = port:PA19<0><default><default><1> This configured the pin properly as i had tested on other pins with some leds and it works. The driver code for capturing the interrupt was based o…

I'm testing the GPS PPS function. If I use PA7 (GPIO PIN 12 in OrangePI Zero), get nothing. But if change to PA3, (GPIO PIN 15), it works well ether pps-gpio module or gpsd itself. Is any strange stuff on PA7?

I want to use GPIO Pi16 on the 13 pin expansion header of the board. This pin is claimed by the kernel for the ethernet MAC. According to the SOC Datasheet this pin has the option to provide a 25 MHz clock signal for the ethernet MAC, which is not relevant for this board.

Gentlemen, I've spend time looking for the GPIO pinout for the Orange Pi Win I am using with Armbian. Specifically I would like to use SDA and SCL. Does Orange Pi publish some information on this subject? Thanks in advance for your information.

I have OrangePi Zero (basic version without HDMI) and OrangePi PC+. However, devices came with almost no documentation, so I would like to know the pinout for GPIO pins. Is there any documentation available? BTW, I need to solder GPIO pins to OP Zero, but it is OK.

Hello, guys! I'm trying to make use of gpio-poweroff procedure. I'm trying to understand the consequences of the approach I've used. Here's what I did 1) Added power_ctrl: power_ctrl { compatible = "gpio-poweroff"; gpios = <&pio 6 11 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; force; }; to arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-h5-nanopi-neo-plus2.dts 2) Recompiled the device tree blob and put it where it belongs The gpio-poweroff's code got probed but failed due to `pm_poweroff_handler` being set to something. So I figured it out that it's set to `psci_sys_poweroff` in [drivers/firmware/psci.c](https://github…

Steps that I follow on Windows 10: - Download 7z file from armbian - Uncompress - Quick format SanDisk 32GB with SDFormatter - Write .raw file with Rufus 2.0.1 (stable). All preferences by default. - Insert micro SD to Orange Pi+ 2 - Connect HDMI, keyboard and power supply. - Green LED lights continuously. Why?? When the green LED was on, nothing happens. I had tried to install the official .img builds and just works. Why I couldn't with armbian bui…

Im trying to connect WaveShare 10" Touch Screen LCD (HDMI) to OrangePI Plus 2E but the problem is that I got greeny picture on the screen. If I connect this display to Raspbery PI 3 I got good clear picture. Any ideas what could be wrong and how to fix it?

Greetings from USA, my name is Freddy Love and i'm new to Armbian and this forum. Currently i'm using a Lime2 no internal storage with Bullseye CLI on the SD. My pau06 works great, but want to use for small server and would obvi prefer to be hardwired in. Any help would be much appreciated. I'm still going thru everything I can read. My email is freddylovesart@protonmail.com and @freddylove@fosstodon.org // thx in advance. Sincerely, -fl

Armbian 5.90 stable Ubuntu bionic Orange Pi PC The Login Screen is very broken and after login, the Screen wents black and only the mouse Pointer is to see.

Guide: Configuring Orange PI PC to receive IR/InfraRed and fix Lirc I also show how VNC can be used to do remote control on orangepipc+ on the example of kodi. Should be the same on orangepipc boards. If a USB IR receiver is used the problem ma not be present at all, but i use the on-board IR receiver. Is dirty work around, if someone knows how to fix it correctly please tell! (I installed the latest version of LIRC 0.9.4b from the source code and compiled it, but it din not fix the problem. So i stay with the version ARMBIAN 5.25 stable Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS 3.4.113-sun8i comes with.) If the LIRC tool irw cant be started and …

Hey guys, I've spent the last couple of weeks trying to get a TFT display with touch screen to work on my Orange Pi PC board, and I've decided to share my step-by-step solution here. This tutorial is heavily based on Guide: How to use Touchscreen + LCD on H3 devices by Kutysam, but I had to do some extra steps for it to work properly. This tutorial is only for Mainline kernel, I was able to get the graphical screen working with Kutysam's guide for Legacy, but couldn't make the touch work. First of all this is the display I'm using: LCD module Pi TFT 3.5 inch (320*480) Touchscreen Display Module TFT for Raspberry Pi 3. I believe it is a clone of this Waveshare…

I would like to save the pain of all the newcommers in setting up the hotspot on their OPi ZERO. Please note, that the wifi module on this board is crappy and the available driver is barely working. The AP function is left enabled in the beta builds. You can read about it here: thread about the wifi module I am not a dev or any highly experienced user. I tested this step by step with my Orange Pi Zero 256MB, board rev. 1.1: 1) download the image from dl.armbian.com: Armbian_5.35_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113 2) write it to your SD card 3) SSH to your OPi Zero 4) run as root armbian-config 5) navigat…

It took me a while to get this ILI9340 based LCD monitor working with the Orange Pi Zero until I found a post on this forum that explains how the H2+ ports are mapped to the GPIO numbers in the Linux kernel. So I built an online tool that does the math for you: Here is a map of all the Orange Pi Zero GPIO pins: All the additional details are described in this blog post.

Hey everyone, I wrote a guide a while back on setting up Armbian on the Orange Pi Zero, with key-based ssh access enabled. Thought I'd share it with this forum I'd love feedback, questions and also definitely send pull requests if you have any edits or changes to propose!

Hi. Please help me to understand how hardware encoding works in nanopi with H3 chipset. I have newest version of armbianos: cedrus and related modules is loaded by kernel There are following hardware acceleration methods and encoders Please explain me what i am doing wrong here : and here: Thanks a lot.

Hello all, just new to here, I bought an Orangepi PC board and grabbed lastest Armbian pre-built image with legacy kernel. I test my code that dynamically change the HDMI output resolution, by something like this: ioctl(disp, DISP_BLANK, true) ioctl(disp, DISP_DEVICE_SWITCH) ioctl(disp, DISP_BLANK, false) and then update fbvar by ioctl(fb0, FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO) I can see output actually changed, everything goes well until I try to map framebuffer from /dev/fb0, it failed with errno EINVAL. After check drivers source code I think it's because the display driver, it forget to notify the system to update framebuffer parameter…

hi there my orange pi one is very slow (8 fps) at encoding my capture card stream to h264 using HW Cedrus264 but other 720p mkv files are converted fast using HW (50 fps) then i tried to save the stream first to sd card (720p Mjpeg format) then encode it using HW , but here i still have 8fps , and cpu usage is 40% even when i used SW libx264 to encode , i still get 8fps and cpu 40% wich is weird is it possible to get real time 720p encoding ? , my capture card only output mjpeg armbian xenial desktop

Hi there, I've just got my first H3 board (OPi Zero +2) and I'm interested in learning how boot process works in detail, with a focus on Security ID features. As far I can see there's not that much documentation about S/NBROM (essentially linux-sunxi's Wiki and Allwinner-info git repo) and what's supposed to be H3's NBROM (header 1100, 1100, 1633) looks like slightly different from A10's one (from git) at first glance. Is there anyone here who has already worked on it and/or has info/symbols/pseudocode/whatever might speed up the reversing process? Thank you!

Hello, I am new to this forum and I would like to ask a question concerning Allwinner's H3 eFuse feature. Studying the chip's datasheet, I saw that there is this eFuse feature, which would be mightily handy for my to-come project using H3 or H2+ hardware (OPi Zero to be specific) as a basis in combination with Armbian (which I find fantastic btw). Is there any driver available for this feature? I couldn't find any info on the net so far. Thx a lot for your time and efforts. BR, andormaybe

Hello guys. After a long time unsuccesfully trying to use a NanoPi Neo to record I2S data, I wonder if is there some NanoPi board that is capable of such thing. Can you suggest one? Thank you very much!

Hi All, I would appreciate if someone can guide me on how to change the I2C speed? I'm using a OPI PC+ and the default speed is 400Khz when using the "IOCTL" method and would like to change to the standard 100Khz speed. Thank you

Hi, OPiPC with latest mainline (ARMBIAN 5.34 user-built Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 4.13.12-sunxi). Need to test the I2S0. From what I see in patches, the I2S driver code is already there so I just need an overlay to use it. Is there any DT overlay for using the H3 I2S0 with any codec ? Even as a generic simple-audio-codec ? Christos

Guys, please help. I installed one orange pi plus 2e and orange pi one in following way: first server image (legacy kernel) then kernel upgrade to mainline. Everything works just fine, except I do not receive kernel updates. If I understood well, kernel should be upgraded via apt dist-upgrade.. But nothing.

Hi, I'm using the very latest armbian build fpr orangepi+, and i'm trying to nat the network from a wireless interface to another wireless interface. My own LAN works, dns server works too, so i can connect to the orangepi+ but i can't make nat working. Is there some known issue about it, or a custom tutorial for nat with this build? thanks for help

I wanna start out and say I have been using Armbian for a year and it's been great. Thank you. I have built many images over the year and have only noticed the issue recently. I have noticed in the bionic builds for OpiZ+ that some base level packages are missing. The one I noticed was netplan. This is the new standard for bionic. I have not compiled a complete list of missing packages at this time. I had built this image before around 5.0-5.1 kernel release without issue. Netplan was included. Current build at 5.3 RC does not include this package. I suspect that others may be removed. Are these packages missing intentionall…

I have changed to 1080p and its almost stable but pull up any window that has maybe moderate workload to say heavy such a chromium the screen starts bouncing around. Think you know what I mean by bouncy, stuttery flashy. I thought that would just be fbturbo drivers and just the fex script but nope and a bit stuck. There is an image for Xenial as using the legacy version on the OrangePi site that is rock solid @ 1080p so it must be fixable but not sure what. Jan 2019 of xenial. I ran into some permission errors with NodeJS & PM2 so thought I would give Armbian another go as first image I tried was the latest less stable Bionic/Stretch which also at 1080p are …

Hi All, I have a couple of H3 based boards (Orange Pi Zero and FriendlyArm NanoPi Duo 2). With all of them I have the same issue: command like "reboot" turn the board off instead of rebooting. The workaround is to add following line in /boot/armbianEnv.txt extraargs=reboot=warm Running latest image on all of the boards.

I'm testing the OrangePi+ and OrangePi+2 for review. I noticed my OPi+ was running a lot cooler than my OPi+2. Reason is difference in kernel. Just tried 5.8.5 on the OPi+ and it also ran as hot as the OPi+2. OPi+ with kernel 4.19.62 vs OPi+/OPi+2 with kernel 5.8.5 No fan idle OPi+ 50C No fan maxed OPi+ Throttle at 75C to 1.3Ghz at 80C to 1.2Ghz doesn't go higher than 80C Fan idle OPi+ 27C Fan maxed OPi+ 54C No fan idle OPi+2 58C No fan maxed OPi+2 Throttle at 80C to 1.3Ghz at 85C lower.

I haven't solved the problem of spdif-out on mainline kernel. But, on legacy kernel 3.4.112, spdif-out works. but, has a limitation upt 48khz? doesn't work of 88khz, 96khz, 176khz on my Nanopi Neo Air 1.0. Is it correct to have a limitation. Thanks in advance.

This maybe something that just isn't available yet, but if I can help with the development I am happy to. I have created the following patches as a starting point but they don't yet work. Looking at the source code for the spidev module and comparing it to the H3 datasheet, it would appear that the H3 uses the sun6i spi register addresses. Though the datasheet lists the RX and TX buffers as 64 bytes whereas the sun6i spidev driver implements 128byte buffers. I'm assuming that this wont be a problem at least for testing as long as I don't try and transfer or receive more than 64 bytes. As you can see from the dtsi patch, I have updated the module memory locatio…

Hi, I bought nanopi_neo boards (for my hobby projects). I am learning about security. I am able to dump e-Fuse area at uboot stage. But i can't modify it (i want to write my own key). I don't have any memory map information of e-fuse. In present boards, bootROM is not verifying the uboot signature(RSA sign:-)). 1) How to enable signature verification in bootROM? 2) Is there any code or information regarding BootROM security and e-Fuse area mapping? 3) Is there any support of TEE (Trusted execution environment)?

Hi all, I've come upon a weird thing and I wanted to verify that I don't so something wrong. I've build a custom kernel module which is a PWM led device with an SPI interface. If I use the spidev, then everything works fine and I'm able to control the led. But when I'm using a custom device-tree and load the module then when I'm calling the `spi_write()` function then I'm getting an error (-22). The external device is actually an arduino nano that implements an I2C IIO light measurement device, using a dual light dependent resistor. Also I'm using the SPI channel to drive a led using PWM. It's very straight-forward a…

Hi All, I am looking for h3consumption utility to change ddr freq (I want to set ddr and processor as low as possible) Could someone help me ? Best Regards, Boris

I use armbian 5.16 or 5.17 on my OPI-PC (I do not remember which of the two, I read Firmware: #14 from OPI-monitor). I installed h3consumption tool a few days ago with these instructions: sudo -s wget -q -O /usr/local/bin/h3consumption "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/igorpecovnik/lib/master/scripts/h3consumption" chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/h3consumption then I used "h3consumption - g off" and after a reboot "h3consumption - e off" (because I use a USB3toGigabit ethernet adapter).

Hi there, I have problem with recovering "sudo h3consumption -m 1200 -c 4" on Orange Pi Zero, where it activates just 2 cores. No idea why. When I used "sudo h3consumption -m 900 -c 1" it worked fine, but now, when I am trying to recover all 4 cores it activates just 2 cores. Which files h3consumption changes? (so I will be able to backup them with clean install and the restore them once needed to recover settings for all 4 cores). And I found out, that with "sudo armbianmonitor -m" it shows CPU changes 900Mhz, 1018Mhz (dont remember exact values) but now it just shows 480 P.S. I made backups of these files: sudo cp /etc/backup_2017_05_21…

I have an orange pi+ 2e that is being used for pihole. I want to set my pi to use 1 cpu core, disable usb ports and set Ethernet link speed at 100Mb/s etc to reduce consumption however not all the changes will apply at once (see picture attached) If cpu is running at one core and ram at reduced speed, ethernet link speed will still be at 1gbps and the other way round when Link speed is at 100Mbps.

Hi all, today I tried ubuntu xenial (dev) with kernel 4.9.4 for OrangePi Plus2. seems to work fine, but the screen resolution is 3840x2160. That is cool but a smaller resulution would be better. I tryed to change the screen settings over Settings -> Display, but it is not possible to change the values there. I also tried it with: sudo h3disp, but it is not installed on my system. What is the best way to change the screen res?
