Hi, I just joined up so I'm an extreme newbie here. I'm running the legacy trusty version of Armbian just downloaded. The HDMI display and USB ports are working fine. The Cubieboard2 is showing up in the network. I need to get the SPI interface going to talk to a microcontroller -- an STM32F303. I've enabled the particular SPI port I need in the cubieboard2.fex file (derived from the stock cubieboard2.bin file) and created the cubieboard2.bin file in /boot/bin after backing up the original. After that change, I rebooted. I got the /dev/spidev0.0 to show up. What do the parameters in the spi_board section mean? Is that documented somewhere? Thanks, Chri…

I’m running ARMBIAN 5.38 stable on a Banana Pro and having the board go unresponsive regularly – meaning I can't login via SSH (getting a "port 22: Host is down" error) and applications stop running. I’ve used the Banana Pro board with an external 4TB harddrive via eSATA as a media/backup server with a similar software set up for several years (running regular updates). Occasionally it would go non-responsive, but I’d generally be able to run it for weeks without a restart. The need for a restart became more frequent until now it won't run for more than 12 hours without trying to log in via ssh and seeing “port 22: Host is down” and the programs like plex and …

I looks like there are more as one way to setup kodi on orange pipc. The latest version 17.1 of kodi with hardware exsaleration would be preferable. I wanted a setup where i could use the on board ir and some Remote i already own. Then an usb Keyboard. And i did not want that kodi starts at system start. I also wanted VNC be usable to do a login via VNC to be able to remote control from my Leptop. I did get Kodi 15.2 working but with drawbacks: Video is not smooth, not relay nice to view. VNC and IR did work and i could go back to the desktop to start internet browser or something else, all rather slow. Colors of the HDMI TV look …

Hello! I am using armbian on orangepi zero. Currently SPI_CS line is LOW in default state and goes HIGH when selecting. Does it possible to invert it's state to be HIGH in default state and to be pulled down during line selection?

I am trying to set up a Orange Pi Zero to use as a small NAT/ Bridge Device. I want to use an Android phone in USB tether mode to give its 4g connection to an interface on the opi zero then use a network bridge to join the 4g connection to the lan port, also the opi zero is gonna run a small section of code on the USB interface that changes the TTL of all packets through the interface. On my linux mint box the script looks like pkexec sysctl net.ipv4.ip_default_ttl=65 && echo 65 | pkexec tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_default_ttl but i am running into issues with the very first part, that is getting my phone native USB tether to be recognized as an interface in …

Hi, I am trying to interface I/O expander MCP23017 to Nano Pi Neo2(Hardware specs:1 GB RAM, Gigabit Ethernet . Software specs: Debian Buster with Armbian Linux 4.19.59-sunxi64 ) . The issue I am having is I am not able to see the device when I run sudo i2cdetect -y 0 . I have enabled i2c overlays in /boot/armbian.txt . I am using 10 K Ohm pull-ups on SDA and SCK . I get no activity while running i2cdetect on the oscilloscope on SCK and SDA lines . Is this an issue with the kernel ?

I received my new Orange Pi Plus 2e and tried to set it up. I already got an Orange Pi PC2 running so it's not really something new to me. I used the latest Armbian images (desktop and server), flashed them to my SD card (with Etcher) and plugged it into the Pi. The green LED lights up and the device seems to be working. To this point it's the same as on my PC2. But after ~1min the red LED starts flashing twice over and over and nothing seems to be working. I get no signal over the HDMI out and the LED keeps flashing. I flashed the SD card three times to make sure it's not a flashing error. I tried the desktop image twice and the server image once. It always ends wit…

I ordered OPI PC+ as a testing device for a potential battery/solar powered project (using OPI Lite/One later on) and while testing the built-in WiFi on OPI PC+, it seems it's not possible to power it off once enabled, or perhaps I'm doing something wrong. If the wlan0 entry in /etc/network/interfaces is commented out, the idle current is roughly 210 mA, and after issuing sudo poweroff, it drops to near zero. With wlan0 enabled, the idle current is roughly 310 mA, but after powering off, it drops to about 100 mA and stays that way until disconnected from DC. Attempting to do sudo ifconfig wlan0 down does not seem to change anything (wireless goes down, but the idle cu…

Just started with Orange PI PC and I tried to use a KeDei LCD touchscreen V5, since I used with with my Raspberry Pi. Unfortunately the given driver (http://kedei.net/raspberry/raspberry.html) doesn't work with Armbian. Is there support in Armbian for this new (may 2016) LCD touchscreen or do I have to (re)compile the kernel myself? (not knowing where to begin...) Regards, Don

Hi everybody! We have an application that uses RS-485 and we decided to use the OMAP UART implementation, but it doesn't seems to work with Cubieboard A10.

My Orange Pi PC2 work fine with Stretch (mainline, 4.14.48) between 35 and 65 °C. I got only a minor (but annoying) problem: the board start overheating after a shutdown (sudo shutdown -h now) and reach >70 °C after few minutes. Is it a kernel problem? Or a hardware design fault?

Hi, I am having problems connecting my orange pi zero 3 to my TV via hdmi: No matter what I try the TV reports "no signal". Before I came to armbian I have tried the vendor-supplied debian and arch images and could not get hdmi output on any of them, so it might be that my micro-hdmi adapter is faulty or that the hdmi-port on the device itself is faulty, but over the weekend I cannot replace any hardware so I thought I try here to see if anyone has an idea on what to try. The image I am currently running is Armbian_community_24.5.0-trunk.58_Orangepizero3_jammy_current_6.6.17_gnome_desktop.img. When I log into the device I ca…

I have an OPi PC+ running Armbian. Bought an RTC called "DS3231 for Pi" and connected the 3.3V, ground, SDA and SCL pins to the GPIO connector.

Ran "hwclock -w -f /dev/rtc1" and the response was "bash: hwclock: command not found" I looked in a subdirectory of /etc/ and found fake_hwclock and hwclock.sh Can anyone tell me what is wrong? Perhaps I should have modified something else before running hwclock? Thanks...

Hi Igor, while trying to reproduce/fixing my boot problem, I stumbled across some weird things regarding your new update script.

Then I've tried to use your update script which I called via: wget -q -O - http://upgrade.armbian.com | bash with the letter O and a blank between the minus and http, is this correct? First strange thing I noticed is, that it starts but doesn't run through completely. It ends with this output: Don't think that this should be the normal behaviour!? And remember that this wasn't the case when I tried…

I have installed the 'watchdog' package (apt-get install watchdog' on an Orange Pi Plus 2E, and it does not seem to be working as I would expect. If I write output to /dev/watchdog the system will reboot, but if I stop the watchdog service (and wd_keepalive) the system does not reboot. I did un-comment the path to /dev/watchdog in the settings file, but have generally not changed anything else. Is there some other required setup needed to allow this to function?

I have an Olinuxino A20. Armbian has no HDMI sound and the video playback is a bit painful. This doesn't happen on Libreelec and, from my understanding, it's partly due to some kernel patches that they applied. Is it possible to use Libreeleec's kernel on armbian? If so, can someone guide me a little on how to do it? Thank you very much.

Hi, I am using A20 Micro Olinuxino card. I have problems with legacy built (Ubuntu 3.4.110). I also tried the other built Vanilla (Ubuntu 4.4.1). The second one is successfully booted. However the first one, although I have tried several SD cards, did not continue after loading the kernel. The monitor shows a noisy image and stop working. I couldn't connect to it with SSH either. So the problem is not only with the HDMI connection or Xorg. Somehow kernel stops booting. The reason I want to use the older kernel is because it has NAND Flash support and video HW acceleration support (as stated in armbian.com). Please point me to right direction. Regards.

I'm powering a small PCB via the OTG port on my OPI PC Plus, however sometimes I need to be able to reboot the device. It is possible to cut power to the OTG port momentarily to force a reboot?

Hi, I installed 'Armbian_5.00_Bananapim2_Ubuntu_trusty_4.4.1_desktop' image recently, because I had some problems with sinovoip images (strange hugh? ). One of the problems was the gigabit ethernet slowness, but it seems with the armbian OS is still the same. I get around 30Mbit/sec only on iperf tests. I have tested my network connections & router and I can get much more speed through other computers, but the banana shows this slow mark. The gigabit ethernet connection was one of the reasons tu buy the banana, but I don't know if I am doing something wrong, if I have a bad unit, etc... I have found some internet benchmarks but all of them are based on the…

I can setup my LCD with this command: sudo modprobe fbtft_device custom name=fb_ili9341 gpios=reset:1,dc:201,led:6 speed=16000000 rotate=90 bgr=1 And before, when I had Ubuntu desktop, I could change display by this command: FRAMEBUFFER=/dev/fb8 startx But in Ubuntu-server I get this error message: X.Org X Server 1.18.4 Release Date: 2016-07-19 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Buil…

Hello -- bringing in conversation from https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/5726#issuecomment-1817668480 as requested. @viraniac -- I've attached the dmesg output from a fresh flash of the quadra SD image -- which is just armbian checked out at `90c05ba` with this patch applied: https://www.inovato.net/build/quadra.patch . Build instructions from the founder are at https://forum.inovato.com/post/building-armbian-from-source-12449428?pid=1333459893 Curiously the dmesg output almost looks truncated to me -- doesn't start with `Booting Linux on physical`, and I see a few xradio message but no results for 819. I've rebooted and get similar output wit…

orange pi one synaptic package manager I installed the synaptic package manager on Armbian Xenial. If I input something to search for one core goes 100%. The search is so slow I have not let it finish it. Is it a bug? My raspberry pi 0 is able to do a search fast. Thank you.

Hi there. I use Orange Pi zero as home print server. It works for few months for now and I am very pleased with that. Although, my printer falls into deep sleep after printing (it's Brother HL-1110EW) and cannot be woken up by the server. I have to start printer manually to print next printouts. Thus I wanted to install tea4cups to drive a relay turning the printer on and off when needed. I installed the WiringOP-zero (from here: https://github.com/xpertsavenue/WiringOP-Zero) but then strange things become to happen. I connected temporarily a LED diode to indicate the changes of the GPIO. (GPIO-7 and GND). The LED is on all the time, no matter what command I se…

Hi everybody, At first I would like to thank you all cause of all your comments in previous posts that helped to make my Lime2 working great. But since the 5.35 upgrade it doesn't want to start anymore. I was on a A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 without eMMC and the Armbian_5.31_Lime2_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop image which I upgraded to the 5.35. On the 5.31 I modified before the update the /boot/bin/lime2.bin file into a lime2lcd10.bin file in order to make the lime2 work with the LCD-OLinuXino-10TS of Olimex. After the update, I needed to make the link again with the /boot/script.bin file. But even with a new Armbian image freshly downlo…

Hi friends. I need get information about input voltage. When I start armbianmonitor -m, so I see this information. Any idea, how to get this information in python? Or I need only one command to read this value. My board is: cubieboard2 with armbian. Thank you.

Not sure if this is the right forum, or it should be under board bringup.... I have a few Duo2 boards running with the FriendlyElec image, but my OrangePi boards all run Armbian... I do prefer Armbian :-) . Playing around a little I can get the Nanopi Neo Air image running, but not with the wired ethernet. (My boards reside on my own design with a ethernet jack, which works perfect with the FE/FA image) I have the Armbian build environment running in a VM, and can compile my own kernel etc. ButI need a few pointers how to get the right board config in the image/kernel.... Or... Does someone already have a build setup running for the Duo2, who is willing to …

Hello, I'm looking for an efficient way to update the eMMC-memory of multiple NanoPi NEO Air's (roll out a production image). I was thinking about integrating my own image in to the eflasher from FriendlyElec but then found this possibility to access the integrated memory via USB-OTG and FEL. https://forum.armbian.com/topic/1580-nanopi-neo-air/?page=9 Wherefore basically two repos are used: sunxi-tools fel-mass-storage I tried following the instructions, build and installed the sunxi-tools (sunxi-fel) and used "dd" to copy "fel-sdboot.img" to an empty SD card. For testing I took a brand new NanoPi NEO Air, connected UART0 with my P…

Hello. Is there a way of resetting the USB subsystem in Armbian for Orange Pi Zero? I don't want to unplug and plug a USB device or reboot the system just to reset the plugged USB devices. The above is doable on a PC running Ubuntu with something like this: $: cd /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd $: ls 0000:00:14.0 bind module new_id remove_id uevent unbind $: echo -n "0000:00:14.0" > unbind $: echo -n "0000:00:14.0" > bind Wondering if something similar (I don't really care if the solution is not similar) is doable on Armbian for OPIZ. Cheers!

Is there anyone who familiar with H3's secure boot? I've got an ott box recently, with 1GB RAM, 8GB eMMC, H3 soc, wifi module is RTL8189FTV. I try to use sunxi's tools FEL to boot, but not succeed. But the nanopi-M1 board can be booted up with FEL. when change the u-boot-SPL's textbase, and set it to SRAM-C's space-0x10000. FEL can download the spl and execute it. The SPL init the DDR. Then download and execute u-boot. u-boot can run, but cannot reach cmdline. the datasheet shows that H3 support secure boot feature, but I can't find any documentation about this. Through the H3's SDK, I got some information about sbrom. I still wonder how to set the…

So ARMbian is my preferred OS for the pcduino3 because it outperforms all of the other options. However, I'm having trouble altering the screen resolution. I'm trying to get it set to 1024x768@60p and it's not playing ball. I've edited script.bin and boot.cmd to change the display mode to output mode/type 4 (desired res and VGA mode respectively) but it just goes to a blank screen and refuses to boot when I reboot it. What exactly do I need to do to get this resolution working? If 1024x768@60 isn't an option, I can work with 1280x1024@60 as well, but I'm still clueless as to the necessary steps to take to change it. -edit- Sorry I should add I'm using the jess…

Hi, Please, i am seeking for some help. Today i just did an apt-get dist-upgrade and my banana pi updated the kernel to 4.19.13. There wasnt any error messages but then i wasnt able to boot. I get messages like "/boot/zImage file not found" so i checked my sdcard (wich cointains the boot folder) and i saw that zImage was symlink to the previous kernel image (wich no longer existed). I corrected it cause in fact there was a vmlinuz-4.19.13-sunxi but there are some more symlinks broken in boot foolder. UInitrd is also broken and i dont have the appropiate file to make a new symlink, script.bin symlink is also broken (it pointed to /boot/bin/bananapi.bin wich …

Hi ! I am using Armbian_5.65_Orangepilite_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.78armbian deb stretch image on orange pi lite. Its working great for the most part, but it misses the starting portion of the audio. I have installed snips voice assistant on it and for some reason the speaker does not produce the confirmation sound output on hotword detection. But plays rest of the sound outputs after that for another 5 seconds or so. Missing the confirmation sound from a smart speaker is really annoying. Is that a bug? Is there a possible workaround? Is any way this can be solved properly? Please point me in the right direction

Does anyone know of a comprehensive how-to on getting this screen to work?

Hi all. In Monday i build new version of Armbian image for Orange Pi One and after this i get next error while loading: Spoiler This image contains newest version of U-Boot (2018.11). My old image build with 2018.05 U-Boot version. Loadin log of old image here: Spoiler This logs made at one PC. I am concerned that in the second case booter find 2 USB devices. but in first case - double number. Anyone can help me with problem. or better write to u-boot support. Or maybe i can build my image with oldest version u-boot...? But i dont known how make this. Thanks.

I want to use an OPI zero (armbian 5.31) to log data from a smart meter to influxdb. Everything works, but after 5 hrs i cant ssh into the pi - also, no data is written to the db. The pi has heatsinks and the temperature is around 53°C. Now i tried it without the logging and after 5 hrs, the pi was again not reachable (i dont know, if it crashed or only the connection went down). Last try was with a pi lite which showed the same behavior. What could be the problem?

Hello, i have some troubles with analog out of my Orange Pi PC. I thought i have the right cable which is assembled similar to this way: or more like this: But i almost break my device plugin it. This what have to be right channel (red) and pin 2 in the first picture, is shorted with pin 1 to GND when plugged. This confuse me a little, because the other way have to be similar to this: So before i resolder it this way, if anyone knows the correct order of jack pins, or have the right cable and can measure it, please let me know.

So recently i noticed that the os image that i am running on my orange pi 3 is for Z28 pro, that's a tv box, when i firstly booted this board i booted it in an image made for orange pi3 and in the cli when i booted it it said running debian buster based armbian for orange pi 3, i have no idea how it switched to Z28 pro image, i don't even know where to find this image, i didn't modify any of the system files, i just set a nextcloud server, is this normal or not?

Hi guys, I have been following this two sources below while trying to build my own pps ntp server with orangepi plus. I have got gpsd and pps work. However, I have ran into the problem that the chrony I got from apt-get doesn't have pps support. It will outputs "Fatal erre : refclock driver PPS is not compiled in". I have tried building chrony from source with timepps.h but that couldn't even run properly without pps source. I am stuck with the problem. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks! 1. 2. https://www.blackmagicboxes.com/?p=581
