Hi Igor, Thank you for all your work. I was looking at your website and found out that page with Bananapis is missing some content (FAQ is missing, I assume that it is the same as on orange pi pages. Also in "Graphics desktop environment upgrade ready. (kernel 3.4.x only) Possible further upgrade to desktop hardware acceleration." - upgrade ready has broken link). Some parts of text looks like outdated too. Would you be a modern superman with unlimited free time and update that page? I am interested in accelerated desktop environment and all 2D acceleration. But I was unsuccessful in finding more about it. OK, I have not found anything. Would you be so king and give…

I keep my Lime2 updated with apt-get update/apt-get upgrade, but it does not upgrade the u-boot, that is still an old version: U-Boot SPL 2015.07-armbian-sun7i (Oct 11 2015 - 17:17:10) DRAM: 1024 MiB CPU: 912000000Hz, AXI/AHB/APB: 3/2/2 Because the network speed is not that fast, I suspect this could be solved with a more recent u-boot. How do I update the Lime2 bootloader to a recent u-boot without re-downloading an image and re-installing all my software and data? It looks like there is already a recent u-boot.bin file on the system... # ls -l /usr/lib/nand-sata-install/a20/bootloader/linux/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 152 May 23 22:35 linux.ini -rw-r--r-- 1 root…

Hi. I have an issue configuring the board: no hugepage configured. I installed the command line Ubuntu. No I am in command line via SSH. Everything is ok. With a NanoPi Fire3, OrangePi Pc2 and an OrangePi Zero H5 I had not this issue. The folder /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages does not exist; the folder /proc/sys/vm has not the value or file that tells how mutch is the hugepages amount.

Dear all, I copied Armbian 4.5 (on cubietruck with kernel 4.3.3) from SD to SSD using the script "nand-sata-install.sh". The resulting system with /boot from SD and rootfs on SSD works fine. However, the "Welcome to Armbian" message generated upon login contains the error message "df: cannot access ‘/dev/sda1’: over-mounted by another device" (see below). It seems to be related to mounting /boot from SD. Do you have any suggestions how to get rid of the "df: cannot access" message ? ____ _ _ _ _ / ___| _| |__ (_) ___| |_ _ __ _ _ ___| | __ | | | | | | '_ \| |/ _ \ __| '__| | | |/ __| |/ / | |__| |_| | |_) | …

Hi. I have Cubieboard 1 with Armbian Jessie installed on NAND. I've tried to disable output during boot as described here: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Fine-Tuning/#how-to-toggle-boot-output, but there are no existing boot.cmd and boot.scr in boot partition. I've found out that uEnv.txt have same purpose but it seems that editing this file doesn't affects arguments, /proc/cmdline remains the same.

I am trying to get USB 2.0 port to reach maximum bandwidth with OTG port (Hi-Speed - 480 MegaBits/second) on PineCube device.

Hi there, I would like to play hardware accelerated video with VLC on orangepi lite. Any idea how this can be done? When I tried it on RaspberryPi, it has option to select OpenmaxIL. Is this possible on Orangepi Lite, too? (I installed vlc but there is no OpenmaxIL option)

Hi, I've tried to use the Ubuntu Xenial Mainline 4.9.4 server on my orange pi one. The u-boot log messages appear on the HDMI monitor but after the "Starting Kernel" message, the monitor shows "No Signal". I can still acess it through SSH. Executing dmesg, there is a log "simple-framebuffer: probe of 59f42000.framebuffer failed with error -12". I'm new to Linux, Is there a way I can fix it ? Thx.

Dear all I have the problem that when I reboot my banana pi pro it always creates a new eth0 config. Which as default has ip4 disabled hence I cant see it directly. At the moment I always access the pi via ip6 and than delete the config via nmtui. My question: How can I turn the creation of a new eth0 config on reboot off?

Should it be possible to take a working SD card out of one OrangePi Zero and put it in a new one? Same board and amount of RAM and everything.

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.

I am running Armbian Focal with Linux 5.4.43-sunxi64 (and now downgraded to 4.19.125-sunxi64) on my Orange Pi PC 2. I use motion software to provide a "18ec:5555 Arkmicro Technologies Inc. USB2.0 PC CAMERA" to the network. I also use pjsip to provide SIP functionality for the same device as audio input. As soon as I start pjsip for some reason I get a very high load average until the kernel detectets stalled CPUs and finally the entire device crashes. This worked fine in a previous version and started after I upgraded to focal.

Hi, A few weeks ago I downloaded the actual Debian Buster version without desktop. I installed the OS and moved the filesystem to the attached SATA disk. Finally I installed and configured Samba and tested it transferring files form my desktop. Everything worked fine except transferring relatively big files. The files (2 in total) giving problems were a about 3Gb. When transferring a big file the upload seems to stop. The ethernet connection with the BananaPi M1 is completely de-activated. There is only one solution to re-activate as far as I know: remove the power connector and resupply the board. After resupplying the board…

Hi all, A week ago I started using the latest Armbian image (Legacy Desktop) for my Olinuxino A20L2. Since the switch from the Olinuxino A20 original image back to Armbian I noticed a lot of performance loss. Especially when surfing the web through Firefox on even simple pages is sometimes terribly slow. Anyone have an idea how to solve this?

Hello, I have a Orange Pi One Plus and i install Armbian image but the ethernet doesnt work. I dont know how fix it. I have search on other post but i cant resolve it. Thanks for your replies!

On a Banana PRO with Debian Jessie I installed the lightweight desktop and all is more or less usable except the web browsing. I been using Iceweasel and Epiphany Browser (I can find Midori on the included repositories) but are completely unusable. I suppose that images are using the philosophy of "Disabled all memory reservations for GPU" Is a problem about the dedicated RAM to the graphics engine? How I can change this memory split? Thanks in advance.

I received today my BPI M2+, however, I cannot make it boot. I tried both Diet Pi and Armbian Server. No boot. The red LED is on all the time. I'm using a Samsung EVO 32 GB SD card flashed with Etcher on Ubuntu. My power supply is a 5v 3A barrel connector. Since the usual suspects are not the cause, I have no idea what might be going wrong.

The pcduino discussions appear to be centred here and the A10 appears to be a cutdown A20 so please forgive me if this is in the wrong area. I've been playing with an old pcduino2 and have got the latest mainline server version of Armbian installed on it. Very impressive. However, it appears to have only a single I2C bus and no SPI devices. It looks like there should be a sun4i-a10-spi-spidev.dts file somewhere or else some way to build the appropriate kernel modules but I have been unable to find this. I understand that this is a deprecated board but I should (hopefully) be able to perform any kernel builds required and am more than happy to feed the resul…

I was updating some images and thought the Orange Pi + had been retired ... but there was no Support Ended note. I see a lot of other Plus versions of Orange pi boards listed, but not the plain Orange Pi +. Seems easy to miss ;] A little searching found the Orange Pi + is supported https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-plus/ Am I just missing the link in Downloads? The only way I've been able to get to the page is by direct url or a duckduckgo search https://duckduckgo.com/?q="orange+pi+plus"+armbian&t=raspberrypi&ia=web

First off, I'd like to thank the maintainers for all the work you've put into Armbian. It's really been a pleasure to use. I'm currently using an OrangePI 2+as a kiosk computer, and I'm wondering if there might be some other way to wake it from sleep other than pressing the power button. Would it be possible for it to wake from sleep if one of the GPIO pins were pulled high, for instance? TIA, -Jim

Hi all, I wanna try to use the hardware PWM on pin 7 of my orange pi one plus. Connect the fan. Toggle the SPI to enable, install wiring orangepi and all looks ok.

This is what WiringOrangePi shows: Is there someone who knows what i do wrong or hwat i should do? Thank you!

Hello does someone have the working configuration enabling the onewire master bus on the mainline version ?

Hi, I could enable "spidev" support by armbian-config -> system -> hardware (enable spidev) . Everything worked fine. However, the original spidev module supports messages only up to 4096 bytes.

Then, converted it to spidev.ko.xz ( xz -v spidev.ko) and replaced the original file under /lib/modules/5.15.85-sunxi/kernel/drivers/spi/spidev.ko.xz The new module works fine when I install it manually: insmod /lib/modules/5.15.85-sunxi/kernel/drivers/spi/spidev.ko.xz However, after the reboot the original 4096-byte version of "spidev" module is loaded magically.…

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

How do I know for sure that my expansion board is broken and not the pin headers in the main board ? I'm not an electronic guy I don't know anything about soldering and stuff.

Is there way to configure sound over hdmi? Display is working ok (configuration for 1366x768 and 1920x1080 was made manually), but there is no sound.

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. …

Hello, I was looking for Kali on BPi and tried the "Kali Linux BananaPi offensive-securityDOTcom-2020.04"-image without success. Unfortunately the image does not boot and no support from there (Domain-contact nor forum[...][...]). Some message about "mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /root failed: No such device", even if kernel was started from this 'No such device"'-SD-card. So Igor wrote me about katoolin which I tested on BPi with Armbian 20.11.3 Busterarmbian. For anyone who is interested here is my way: install "Armbian 20.11.3 Buster \l" install "katoolin see…

Hi I have a cubieboard 2 and i used cubian but now i need to use jessie so i moved to armbian jessie. I try both vanilla et legacy headless img. I have a razberry connected to gpio and i use ethernet cable. For both img, first boot is ok but after i have a big bug at "stop autoboot". I join two picture from the HDMI output. Sometime after several reboot (hard reboot) it works but not well, for example i can't access to ssh and some services don't work anymore, mysql for example. I try different sd card and when i try cubian x1, it works well (but wheezy ) Thank

Hi, I finally have time to get back to my little project. I've been trying to get a working display with tinydrm for an ILI9341 base lcd. My setup works on OpenWrt with the older fbtft driver, but now I'd like to go back and try Armbian (current release is Jammy) on it.

Hi. I want to use uart on 500000 baudrate. Before i had used it with ARMBIAN 5.32. But i had some problems about board temperature. So, i updated it brand-new image. it was 5.38. and then some packet are crashing or missing frequently. I used same program for this test. I only counted received packets. It works fine with ARMBIAN 5.32 user-built Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS 4.11.7-sun8i Received packets are 4500000. But, it doesn't with ARMBIAN 5.38 stable Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS 4.14.18-sunxi Received packets are 4504376. I also checked configuration using "setserial". the differece was only irq num…

I have tried to use the nand-sata-install to allow me to boot the roots from an external USB HDD. It goes through the process but after rebooting, the "loading kernel" message appears and then nothing - I have tried this a few times and even used the latest version of the script on GitHub. Any ideas on how to make this work - I have a external USB HDD (500mB).

I'm not sure if this is off-topic, but I'd like to ask the forum about a problem. My goal is to run RPi-Cam-Web-Interface (http://elinux.org/RPi-Cam-Web-Interface). I have 5.20 Jessie server 3.4.112 that has been updated/upgraded on an Orange Pi One with a gc2035 cam on an expansion board from aliexpress. As a first step I got the cam working.

But when I run raspimjeg I get the error * failed to open vchiq instance Google has solutions that involve permissions…

Hi. I configured OrangePi zero with the NAS interface and with Openmediavault. I also configured ethernet card and wifi. Everything works. But if I disconnect the network cable, I also disconnect the wifi. Now I would like the wifi to work even without ethernet cable. This is possible? Many thanks ps. this the version of software ARMBIAN 5.31 stable Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 3.4.113-sun8i

I'm trying to add concurrent mode to the wifi driver on an Orange Pi PC Plus running the latest stable distribution of Armbian, but running into an "invalid module format" error due to the kernel version not matching the source version I'm using to recompile the wifi driver. I installed both the source and header files from armbian-config. The kernel version is 4.19.59 according to uname -r. This apparently is the linux-image-next-sunxi image, according to `apt-cache search linux-image | grep 4.19.59`. However, the source for the next-sunxi branch in the repository is 4.19.57, not 4.19.59, as `apt-cache search linux-source | grep next-sunxi` gives: linu…

Hi, I've tried to finally move on from 5.04, but the new image doesn't boot. At least, HDMI doesn't show anything and my router doesn't see the board when connected via ethernet. On the first power-on the green led glows a few minutes, then red one blinks a few times alone, then both leds blink and then only green one glows. On successive boots only green led glows uninterruptedly. Do you need any information to make it work? BTW, legacy kernel worked fine for me, except my HDD connected with hdd-usb adapter (Agestar 3FBCP1) spits errors every few seconds and performance is unbearable. Connected to my router with TomatoUSB the same hdd works fine. I hoped n…

I want to use an ESP-12F to add wireless to my NanoPi Neo, but I don't think the Neo has broken out all the connections I'd need. Hackaday desctibes how to interface a Raspberry Pi B+ to an ESP-12F (https://hackaday.io/project/8678/instructions), but the Neo seems to lack some of the required pins. I like this idea since I've liked the performance and ability of every esp8266 system I've used. Their wifi network is solid, and they're low cost. Is this a lost cause or is it possible? Or perhaps this is a dumb idea? I'm not sure how well it'll perform vs a usb wifi modules, but the idea has captured my imagination.

Using the Ubuntu Armbian image for pcDuino 3 I am unable to get the ethernet device eth1 to work. Wireless works fine, but trying to get an IP address for eth1 fails consistently. I have read various indications that this may be an issue with GMAC TX delays or similar, but as a newbie to pcDuino and embedded Linux I do not know how to alter or adjust this, or if this is even the problem. Has anybody else experienced this with the pcDuino3 and is there a solution? As a long time UNIX developer I am reasonably confident this is not merely a UNIX configuration issue, as I have configured the pcDuino 3 Ubuntu identically to my other reference Ubuntu servers which work fine. T…

Previously I installed legacy Armbian to an Orange Pi PC Plus device and noted down its eth0 and wlan MAC addresses. Then I installed a Mainline Armbian server image to its EMMC, updated the armbian-config to enable the desktop manager. Now I checked the MAC addresses to be completely different. Why does this happen?

Hello, Thanks for making ARMBian! I would like to be able to use it with my Orange Pi Zero LTS to make a PI-Hole. I'm using Armbian_19.11.3_Orangepizero_buster_current_5.3.9 However, I keep having problems with locales, such as : Warning: Invalid locale (please review locale settings, this might lead to problems later): locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid How can I fix it ? Thank you.

I have tried 3 Orange Pi 3 images on my orange Pi 3 LTS. None of them will mount the root fs and continue booting. It shows btrfs, but the partition is ext4 and the armbianEnv.txt file has the correct UUID and ext4 stated. I can boot an image from the OrangePi website, so I am 99% certain it is not the power supply or sd card.

How can view kernel version?

I have a big problem with the latest Armbian images, the problem not only persists with the latest versions, with the previous one the same thing happened to me with the old Ubuntu images, it works without problems with the old kernel, I have a video published with the problem since it works but at certain times the device turns off and does not turn on a single LED light until I reconnect it, I thought it was a problem with the power supply but not with the old Ubuntu images it works and even with the game emulators of the lakka-tv image, so I came to the conclusion that the hardware is in good condition, therefore check what the fault could be because the computer usual…

Hello, My hardware is BananaPi and I would like to enable early KMS start. As per https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_mode_setting#Early_KMS_start , I need to add "the display driver kernel module" to initramfs. With a normal x86 PC, the kernel module to add would be 'i915', 'radeon' or 'nouveau'. But I'm a bit confused with the sunxi hardware. Which module am I supposed to add? Thanks!

I wanted to try 3.4 to see if I could build FFmpeg with the legacy Kernel. When I run any of the three (Trusty, Jessie, Wheezy) as soon as the script says starting Kernel, I get a few blue and green noise lines on the screen and then the screen disappears. I can use SSH and.the system is booting up and running. The one thing that I noticed is that when I log on, the name of the machine is LIME instead of MICRO. I'm running an Olimex Olinuxino Micro. Is there a config file that I need to tweek, or is the Kernel setup for a LIME? thanks MikeC

Hi, Recently while I was using the banana pro, it locked itself up and I had to manually pull out the power. And after that, it cannot boot anymore with armbian or bananian, the red light turned on and thats it, no more activities. :-( But with lemaker's oficial image it can boot up normally. What could be the problem? Do I have a faulty hardware? Thanks!

Cubieboard2 How to create the armbian image with capability of booting with gps connected to the uart port ? The armbian can't start if gps connected to the uart port and vice versa - It starts with unpluged gps. After system is started up, I do connect the gps and can easily get the gps data from /dev/ttyS0 As I understand - it's happened because of ttyS0 can be using as keyboard, so bootload is interrupting. Also it's can be a problem while initial password changing.

I have certain problem when using ssh on my Orange Pi zero. When I am connected through on-board wifi module the ssh panel have a lot of lag when I am writting commands. However I am not experiencing the same problem when I am connecting through ethernet. I can't understand if that's a case of bad connection as I have the same behaviour even if I put my pi next to my router. I know that the on-board wifi module is not the best but it seems that its unusable. Anyone has any relative problem? Is there any solution or its just hardware based and I need an external wifi dongle?
