Hi, I am trying to write a program which will detect the presence of SD Card in Nano Pi M1 plus device. There are many ways to do this either by doing fdisk -l or looking into /dev/mmcblk* . But I want to keep running it in a loop and doing fdisk -l and grep doesn't seems an appropriate way. Can the insertion or removal of SD cards be checked via Hardware Interrupts? Plz. help me I am a newbie.

I recently ordered 3 A20-OLinuXino-LIME2-e16GB devices (with 16GB eMMC) and received rev. K boards. Unfortunately, I have troubles with both "official" Olimex eMMC rel 16 image and latest (as of last week) Armbian Stretch images. Both images booted fine from SD card (also tried multiple SD cards, one of them bought from Olimex ) and I was able to run the emmc.sh / nand-sata-install scripts fine. Now the troubles started as I turned off the device, removed the sd-card and tried to boot from eMMC. All 3 boards had entered FEL mode. From fel mode I was able to use the `sunxi-fel` utility and push the uboot fine... Initially I was able to g…

I've tried both revisions (Bionic and Stretch) for this board located at: https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-pc/ Both have the same issue. When I boot from sd card, run armbian-config, and attempt to transfer armbian OS to emmc I get an error 'no target'. I know that there is indeed built 8GB flash, because when I pull the sdcard, and power the board it boots into the pre-configured android OS. Here is a picture I took of the board: https://photos.app.goo.gl/5ELPTTnPbZXAybhe9 Any advise would be helpful. Thank You.

Hello, The NanoPi Neo 2 has an H5 SoC. When I look at the Linux mainlining effort chart at Sunxi, I see that Ethernet support for the H5 only came in the 4.15 kernel. But the kernel in the Armbian downloads for the NanoPi Neo 2 only have the 4.14.y kernel. So can one expect the GbE to work, on a NanoPi Neo 2, with the current Armbian (Bionic or Stretch)? Maybe you already backport the 4.15 Ethernet-related code (for the H5) into that 4.14.y kernel?

Hello community! I use in my project "Orange Pi Zero Plus (Alwinner H5 - 512mb)". When using the image downloaded from the official site (https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero-plus/ - Armbian Stretch mainline kernel 4.14.y), I get a set of errors when I boot and when I use the working OS, which I'm straining. The same mistakes I get if I build the kernel and the OS myself through "build" (linux-sunxi64-next). My equipment: Memory: SanDisk Ultra microSDHC Class 10 UHS-I 48MB/s 16GB Power supply: Raspberry Pi 3b+ Power Adapter (STONTRONICS) - 5.1V @ 2.5A Boot: full log - https://pastebin.com/M9g6ipUp Loading Environmen…

Hi, After installing latest version of Armbian 5.59 Stretch, I found that CPU temperature was shooting up too high, and I figured out that the GPIOL6 controlling the VDD_CPUX between 1.1V and 1.3V is not set properly as a result the Pullup resistor R455 is holding the FET gate always high and it is always running by default at 1.3V, even though scaling_max_freq was set 912MHz. After manually switching the GPIO to OUTPUT_LOW the temperatures aren't going that high anymore. Just thought the DEVs should know. Thanks

how can I force set HDMI output like 1024x768 60hz or something like that? hello I have OPI lite 2, I use Armbian_5.61.180927_Orangepilite2_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_4.18.10.img, when I boot OPI I can see preboot information then after 1-3 sec I have no signal on my monitor I tried different hdmi cables without luck uname -a Linux orangepilite2 4.18.11-sunxi64 #312 SMP Sun Sep 30 00:22:52 CEST 2018 aarch ps: monitor dell 2414h I tried different OS like android (native, zidoo h6 pro, beelink gs1) also ubuntu 16.04 without any monitor issue, at least video output worked at any cases but they have another issues

I get about 15MB/s read from my samba shares. Is there a nice walk thru on how to find the bottleneck (network, disk, etc)? It's on GbE and I did a quick iperf test that was well above the 15MB/s

I am running a relatively new install (few months) on a replaced microSD (RMA). Keep in mind this is a headless install. At random, usually after many days / weeks+ the orangepi appears to freeze. What I mean with freeze: - samba shares disconnect - sometimes SSH works till the password is submitted, then it times out - sometimes http works when I hard restart it - I always see a very high temp & in some logs I had seen some weird dates, so I set to write out date & temp and I got this beauty on the next freeze: Spoiler date: Sun Sep 30 13:27:03 2018 -- temp: 41.99 date: Sun Sep 30 13:28:…

Checking in... NanoPi-NEO v.1.31 with the OLED hat... need to be a bit specific as there are multiple HW revs of the NEO - v1.2 and later moved from LDO to a DC/DC regulator, so info from 1.0/1.1 might not be accurate these days - still sorting out the regulator in use, as there are a couple of options with Allwinner H3 there. I think it's the SY8113B, but hard to tell...

hi, I had a few Orange Pi Zero's lying around for a while and thought of putting them to some use. I was trying to find an image for Orange Pi Zero H2+ over here ( at Armbian Orange Pi downloads section ). I couldn't find the image for Orange Pi Zero H2+. There are images for H3 and H5 on that page. Can someone please point to the appropriate image for this board? Thanks a lot.

Hello My system is installed on the internal eMMC. After a system update my OPi will not boot anymore. Perhaps anyone can help. Thx.. Gesendet von meinem WAS-LX1A mit Tapatalk

Hey guys. I need your help. Since I'm new to linux I don't know what happened and what to do. Latest armbian was installed on my eMMC. Today at morning I woke up and logged in by ssh to my orange pi pc plus and get 'input/output error' for every single command. I've tried to reboot it by powering off and on and after that I could not log in by ssh. (and I noticed that green led not blinking and ethernet port green and orange LEDs was constantly on) I've inserted 16gb SD card with latest armbian installed on it and it works by booting from it(green led is blinking, ethernet port LEDs are also blinking, everything is ok). I've tried to list partitions a…

Hi I have an Orange Pi PC running "ARMBIAN Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 3.4.113-sun8i". Can I update to Armbian Strech kernel 4.14 directly without lose of data and configurations? How can I do it? Thanks.

Hi, is it possible to run xfce4 on mainline on a Orange Pi Zero? I'm doing it with jessie legacy (I need to have a mumble client running, accessing it with X11vnc) but I wanted to upgrade.

I'm trying to configure the RTL8189FTV module on an Orange Pi+ 2E in SoftAP + STA mode so I can use it as wifi hotspot. According to this old document from Realtek (http://www.ofeixin.com/downloadRepository/8da8dda7-6721-4ac8-a7db-47cc4d9b218c.pdf), it's possible to do so using an RTL8189ETV, so I'm assuming it's possible on the RTL8189FTV, too. The default driver doesn't allow concurrent connections like this, tho, so it must be recompiled. I downloaded the source recommended on the sunxi wiki (http://linux-sunxi.org/Wifi#RTL8189FTV): git clone https://github.com/jwrdegoede/rtl8189ES_linux.git cd rtl8189ES_linux git checkout -B rtl8189fs origin/rtl8189f…

I have a device based on an Orange Pi PC. I want to add a 7 inch touchscreen display in a case. This is the kind of thing I'm looking for, but I'm not wedded to that one. I just want something that's known to work reliably. Thanks in advance for suggestions or guidance.

Hello, I use armbian latest version on a Orange Pi Zero (256Mb) to send data from usb to network. I use Ser2net for this to stream data from a rflink device. To test I use a Metrix bench power supply, so i think power is ok. If I reboot the device with usb plugged the boot fail, so i have to boot without usb plugged and then plug usb and restart ser2net daemon to make it work. I think boot is searching for usb device, is it possible to disable this ? Next the board crash every 2 or 3 days, network stop responding and soc heatsink goes hot. I restart the device and it's good for 2 or 3 days, and crash... If it help armb…

Hello! Sorry, I can't speak english well! A year ago, I buy my Orange Pi PC, and download last image of Armbian, and it work's well. But yesterday, I update my system through apt-get, and notice that there be some kernel packages. There was packages, with "sunxi" or "sunx7" in his names, don't remember well. After this, my Pi stop to working. No SSH, no image from HDMI too. I download new images from https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-pc/ try both Bionic and Stretch. But both of them don't work. There was an old image, Xenial with kernel 3.4. It works well, but my wifi adapter doesn't work with this kernel. But this adapter, worked with …

I am sorry but even after long searching I could not find out how to enable internal pull up resistors in an A20. I am on a BananaPro with Bionic, kernel 4.14.70. I want to use the pull ups on I2C-1. Presumably it is quite easy. I know that internal pull resistors are usually too weak for I2C, but the I2C is only connected to an external level shifter since all connected I2C devices have 5V lines. So the internal resistors should be sufficient, and the expansion board is working reliably on an old Rapsberry model B with internal pull ups. So, how can I enable internal pullups? The I2C-1 overlay seems not to have an option for that. Can it be done via dev…

Hi, Tried a new Armbian build for OPiPC today, legacy (3.4.113) and seen that only Debian 9 is available (not showing Debian 8), so build fails since Debian 9 cannot work with legacy.

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 …

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

In the context of this topic, after removing network-manager and configuring the network "the old way", via /etc/network/interfaces, what is the proper way to make sure that the WiFi radio is not emitting?

Armbian_5.59_Nanopineo2_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.14.65.img does not see the sound codec at all. The status matrix here: http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort#Status_Matrix tells that Audio Codec should be supported since kernel 4.12 on H3 (H2+ is the same, as far as I know). But Armbian does not see the audio codec nor on NanoPi Neo2 (H5), nor even on on NanoPi Duo (H2+), although all the img files I used have 4.14 in their name. However, even with FriendlyElec's own image nanopi-neo2_ubuntu-oled_4.14.52_20180628.img there is a different issue - the sound is mono instead of stereo! I tried speaker-test: speaker-test -…

Hi, I have an Orange Pi Plus 2e and I've installed Armbian_5.59_Orangepiplus2e_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop. I need to play four hd videos at the same time.

Thank you.

I've been using an OrangePi Zero hw rev. 1.5 for a few months with no issues, using the Stretch mainline image (4.x kernel). Suddenly the filesystem became read-only. I thought it was a SD card issue so I burned a fresh armbian to a new card. But the device does not show up in the DHCP pool with an allocated IP. Being withought a HDMI connector, an OPi Zero must be accessed via SSH. I've tried all versions, mainline and legacy. Only with Jessie legacy image, it gets an IP from the DHCP pool just on the very first boot. After that, it does not show up. I've tried the images provided by OrangePI and their Ubuntu and Raspbian images work. They have Ub…

Hi all, as in title, gpio not work on latest Lime2 5.59 built from source using mainline 4.14.70 kernel and debian stretch. I can export correctly the gpios in sysfs but i cant get the right value.

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

Hi, Today I encountered for the second time a strange behavior on my Orange Pi PC running Armbian 5.38 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.14.18-sunxi and decided to ask here. The OPI PC is working properly for a few weeks (one to three, typically) and suddenly I cannot access it via SSH or UART anymore. When trying to connect with SSH, the connection hangs after entering the password and after a while the connection timeouts. Tried SSHing from regular Linux shell and from PuTTY under Windows. I regularly use a key to log in the Opi PC, but it doesn't work, too. Trying to connect with the UART (via minicom in Linux or PuTTY in Windows) …

Hi, I recently read from github testings of orange pi lite2 testing that wireless is working. But I download from the official website of https://dl.armbian.com/orangepilite2/Debian_stretch_dev_nightly.7z(built 0824) and burn it, it starts, but the wireless is missing. I also read that the firmware added ap6255 wireless driver, so I download https://beta.armbian.com/pool/main/a/armbian-firmware-full/armbian-firmware-full_5.59.180915_all.deb and installed it. After reboot, the wireless is still missing. So the support of wireless is built-in or usb? Should I build armbian myself with the lastest code to support the built-in wireless? Thank you.

orange pi one H3 idles somewhat warm in part due to a power regulator that switches only between 1.1 and 1.3 v. orange pi pc could idle at pretty low temperatures (closer to room without a heat sink due to a better power regulator as well), and the h3 runs rather hot say > 70deg C when under loads the trouble is the SOC die is 14x14mm, and if one wants to use a large heat sink, it wouldn't fit and you would need to use the copper shim method, to provide some clearance to fit a large heat sink that is troublesome and hence , i made do and made an attempt to try out *small* heat sinks, e.g. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10pcs-Computer-Cooler-Rad…

I'am running the latest Stretch server version on a PiOne (Linux 4.14.65-sunxi). I think that something is going wrong with the logrotate. The rotation is done in /var/log.hdd directory (see also the scripts in /etc/logrotate.d/). But the original file of each is in /var/log directory and is not "cleared" after the rename, because it is not renamed. So, if Zram copies /var/log directory to the /var/log.hdd directory, the original file in /var/log with old logging and included new logging is written to the /var/log.hdd directory. In the next logrotate this growing file is compressed. In this situation/in my case the compressed files contains all the loggings and no…

hi, i'm trying to run docker on an orange pi +2E, using armbian xenial well, using default legacy kernel, i can see /dev/spi* and /dev/i2c* and the like BUT i can't have docker-ce running with this kernel... so i swapped to the DEV kernel, now i've setup docker-ce but lost completely the hw support... which is the best setup to have both, so i can pass local hw devices to docker containers and have access to gpio and serial? thanks

I was searching for a UPS for the Banana classic and then saw you just can connect a battery to it. What i can't find information about if it needs to be unprotected or if i can use my protected Keeppower 18650 Li-Ionen's that i already have for my flashlight anyway. And is there anything special i need to do in Armbian? Just connect the battery and it works? Hard to find information :-(

Hi when I use the orangepi PC plus TRRS audio output (analog), I have some glitches which are linked to the video mouvment. I've tested the connection between ground and video and it seems that on the left ground pin there is a natural link with video output (50 ohms), is this normal? my cable is a 4 pole TRRS. I even tested audio with cable directly plug on soldering but same result. How could I get a clean audio output? note that the hdmi audio output is clean. and my speaker system is clean if I plug it on a MP3 player with an audio jack. I use retrorangepi 4.2 which is based upon Armbian v5.54 (default legacy kernel)

Hello fellas, I would like to borrow your experience to compete with my task which counts (and measures) pulses on GPIO with Orange Pi zero. Currently, my simple solution is to register a callback to a specific edge and increment a global variable. I would like to catch a few hundreds of pulses in one burst which have in a 5-100 us length. However, even the number of counted pulses is not okay. Some of them are missed sometimes, which leads to an unreliable solution. I used different libs and all of them fall into the same issue.

I have found out how to add network support to u-boot for the Nano Pi Neo 2, I can set the serverip and perform the dchp command, the Nanopi neo get's an IP address from the DHCP server but then booting halts with the message that it can't find the file.

I test in Orange pi lite libMali.so, both X11 and framebuffer. Xenial' X11 mode tests by glxgears fps is around 250-270 but Jessie is around 400-420, billiard game that use Opengl is noticable different. For framebuffer, I use retroarch that also noticable slow in Xenial. Anyone know why Xenial libMali is slower than Jessie?

The software download page for the Cubietruck only has the new Armbian Stretch images available to download, are the images for the previous version Armbian Jessie still available to download? I'm thinking of updating to Stretch but would like to have the option of going back to Jessie. I have tried searching but to no avail. Thanks.

No sound via the hdmi port to hdmi tv port however I can use headphones with the 3.5 mm audio jack and it works fine. Not sure if my board is broken either. I just got it. The only image that works with my orange pi pc plus is Armbian Stretch edition. The ones I have tried thus far are armbian xenial multimedia edition, retrorangepi, android 7 from orangepi website they all don't work haven't tried bionic armbian edition though. But that is for another post just thought to mention that. 1. Logs when you can boot the board: armbianmonitor -u https://pastebin.com/e5xb2gZD

OrangePi PC H3 UsbTV kernel driver causes complete system freeze on Armbian OrangePi PC kernel 4.14. Did anyone observed similar issues? I already reported a bug against the USBTV repo, but not sure if this is the right place. [Update: After quick response of Federico Simoncelli from the USBTV repo, I reported this bug to the kernel bugzilla as a new bug there] On x86_64 platform it works well. Is it the bug of Armbian or USBTV?

i've an orange pi one and i'm running armbian stretch (mainline) on it after issuing shutdown -h now as root, the green status indicator light goes off. but i noted that the ethernet leds remain on i leave the board powered on after shutdown but since i've already issued shutdown, i assumed that the cpu has stopped while i go on to work on my pc. some minutes later, i accidentally touch parts of the board and it is extremely hot, every part of the board i'd say it is probably well higher than 100 deg C, possibly a fire hazard do be careful about this as i think the behavior after shutdown is different from ubuntu xenial. for ubuntu x…

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.

Hello, I'm looking for an efficient way to update the eMMC-memory of multiple NanoPi NEO Air's (roll out a production image).

For testing I took a brand new NanoPi NEO Air, connected UART0 with my P…

Dear mainline developers, I'm writing a (mainline) SPI driver for de ads131 from TI which I would like to make use of DMA, on the orangePIzero H2, zero+ H3/H5 and nanopi NEO2+. On the 4.13.3-sunxi kernel (armbian 5.33), this works fine, the driver is automatically loaded when the associated devicetree overlay is loaded, and the DMA can be allocated. However, when I compile the same driver for newer kernels (4.14.17-sunxi, 4.14.39-sunxi, 4.14.67-sunxi armbian 5.59), the dma allocation no longer appears to work, while the SPI part of the devicetree is identical except for the phandle (checked with dtc -I fs /sys/firmware/devicetree/base on newest 4.14.67-sunxi kerne…

I've got a LeMaker Banana Pi Pro board, with LeMaker Banana Pi Pro Camera V1.0 which is a ov5640 module.

My Cubieboard 2 absolutely refuses to boot from microSD. It will boot into Android from flash when there is no microSD card inserted, but with a card in, it just produces a single red LED and no video output. Eventually it will respond by flashing green and powering down when the power button is depressed, so I feel like it's getting somewhere, but those are the only signs of life. I don't know how to look at serial output from this machine. I've tried two different power supplies, and two different monitors because one had I think been dodgy with this machine before. Same problem on all permutations. I also tested the SD card with F3 and wrote it with Etcher, and I've us…

But I'm not sure how much time decrease. What I would like to know is, how fast is the camera taking pictures and how long is the loading time of the camera modules? Can I take pictures under 200 ms with the camera triggered? The Raspifastcamd module allows …

Hi. I am having this issue with Orange PI PC. If it boots up when the TV it connects to over HDMI is off, I am getting blank pink screen. I guess it is because it chooses different video output when TV isn't detected. Raspbian forums suggest disabling "HDMI hotplug" by editing /boot/config.txt , but Armbian hasn't got this file. Please share your suggestions as this TV is on the wall in my kid's school at 2m height - and if it reboots due to short power failure, it needs a ladder to get fixed. Please help me before school year starts

Hi everyone, I'd like to ask and confirm: is there any working HDMI method with proper resolution currently for the Pi+2E, as of 5.59? I'm asking because I have tried next, I have tried dev, and I have tried the legacy kernel. None of them gave any satisfactory result at all. Mainline Kernel 4.14 -- There is HDMI graphics, but the resolution is stuck to no more than 1024x768. I read many times that this is the case when the HDMI was not detected. Kernel 4.18 -- Same thing as for 4.14. Though, as far as I know, the 4.17 should have support for HDMI. Has HDMI for H3 really landed in 4.17, or have I read wrong all over the place? …
