Hello everybody, I'm pretty new to Armbian and H3 boards. I own an Orange PI + 2 board brought more than 1 year ago, yesterday I started to play around with it and I've discovered that for some reason its Mali GPU doesn't support OpenGL ES and it's somehow related to it having 2 GB of RAM on board. I'm really not sure how it can be related, but that's what Armbian's changelog for v5.20 says: Later in v5.25 it says: So I just want to know if 2GB boards feature OpenGL ES support (as well as HW video decoding etc)? I tried to run glxheads, glxgears etc from mesa-utils package, but got some really poor FPS there + some games I used for …

I use a OPiPC as my mqtt and smb server. Until Monday I used an older version of Armbian (something around 5.20 I think) and everything worked flawlessly. Monday i did a mistake and destroyed the sd card filesystem (i was doing a backup with dd, but i've made a mistake making the sdcard as the output file). After downloading and installing the system on a new sdcard (Armbian 5.69 on a 32gb Kingston class 10 sdcard) I've experienced a few problems: --h3disp and h3consumption were missing (I've read that this is due them being incompatible with the latest kernel, which is sad because i'd like to turn off the ethernet and hdmi controllers as well as underclocking the cpu to …

Hi. Not so far downloaded the latest available isos for Orange Pi (the very first version) - usb not working - for example for Logitech wireless keyboard or mouse. In the past I've already reported this problem - there was fix. Is it possible to fix again? PS Why there is no separete image for Orange Pi? Why banana pi image? Thanks in advance.

Hi community To use Kubernetes (K3s) on my Orange Pi 3 I need to enable cgroups. I running currently on Armbian Buster (20.08.1) As I understand this needs to be enabled on build-time (?) or is there any other way to enable cgroups? Is there any other image which has cgroups enabled? any support is appreciated many thanks Daniel

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…

I was curious to see how Mainline kernel performs on GbE test against a Legacy kernel. For the Armbian side i chose the nightly dev Armbian_5.27.170602_Orangepiwin_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.11.1_desktop.img (Desktop) and for the Legacy i chose my own build with all "Bells and whistles" (full Desktop, hdmi, camera, bt and wifi). I did not optimized Armbian Mainline, just installed and run stock. For the Legacy i optimized as usual. If there is some optimization to do on Mainline side, i missed. I have some observations about the board and results: * Board is without Heat-sink, * Legacy subsequent test got lower values, i suspect it runs h…

Hi, I have ten orange-pi pc plus with Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS with Linux 5.10.43-sunxi burned onto emmc, and twenty orange-pi pc plus with Focal 21.05.6 with Linux 5.10.43-sunxi burned onto emmc. In an attempt to provoke the same issues we have with Xenial on these boxes, I have all of them rebooting (shutdown -r now) once every 10 minutes. They have all been under test for several days. They are all connected to a LAN backbone, but the LAN is not connected to the internet, so whilst they may be attempting to do unattended upgrades, for example, they are all failing. This is a deliberate part of the test. Of the twenty Focal 21 boxes none have failed. …

Hi! The jessy vanilla image works fine, but when I boot the Olinuxino Micro with a SATA HDD connected, I don't have ethernet/ssh access anymore. Even reboot _without_ the HDD doesn't work, I need to restore the content of /boot with an SD-card-reader to make it work again. Sorry, I am (yet) not really into sunxi/uboot/kernel topics, so maybe there's a simple explanation to this behaviour?

Hello I'm using OPI PC+ and tried to figure out some free gpio to play with it. Taking a look at forums/etc there are formula to calculate current GPIO number according to this https://linux-sunxi.org/GPIO and some posts here, there is a formula: (position of letter in alphabet - 1) * 32 + pin number so can someone explain me how pin 38 (PG6) becomes GPIO 198? calculation back from the formula point letter F

Hello! Has anyone succeeded in using the OPi Zero's Expansion Board audio output jack? I can't seem to get any sound out of it. Any help with the configuration would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi, I have connected Orange Pi Lite over serial UART, but looks like the default settings are to not output the boot log to serial. You can only see U-Boot messages, then "Uncompressing Linux kernel" and after some time the login prompt comes. What exactly do I need to change/configure to get the classic kernel boot log to serial console? Thanks

Hi! I have a problem in using USB DAC. USB DAC has been usually plugined in USB port and when OPi PC boots up, it is recognized by alsa but cannot be played. As I observed, green lights on boards -> USB DAC wakes up -> it takes a little while till red light -> USB DAC goes into power save mode with light blinking -> red lights up -> USB DAC wakes up again -> after booting, USB DAC is recognized by alsa but cannot play music through USB DAC e.g. mplayer2 shows "Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound." The only work around that I know is to plug in USB DAC after power up the board, i.e. power on OPi PC first -> plug in USB DA…

Hi I'm trying to understand how to enable Uart 2 for serial communication with a mcu on the banana pi (trying to connect a board running klipper to it). I connected the Uart of the board to CON1-P08 and CON1-P10 of the Banana PI M3 according to all i can find those pins are tx/rx for UART2. So far i figured out that the UART should be one of the /dev/ttyS* ones if i'm not mistaken, I can see /dev/ttyS to /dev/ttyS7 but am missing the /dev/ttyS1 user@bananapim3:~$ ls /dev/tty* /dev/tty /dev/tty11 /dev/tty15 /dev/tty19 /dev/tty22 /dev/tty26 /dev/tty3 /dev/tty33 /dev/tty37 /dev/tty40 /dev/tty44 /dev/tty48 /dev/tty51 …

Hello, dear users and developers. Could you help me to enable SPI1 subsystem and use the corresponding device file /dev/spi... to test/probe SPI communications on my Orange Pi Win (Plus) machine? For the sake of that I am ready go migrate from currently good for me and quite fresh "raspbian for orange pi" where I've already implemented about 95% of required functionality. And it seems the only place where I can talk to people about SPI stuff in ready linux distributions is right here. I actually read here about some SPI issues on Orange Pi Zero but I have some troubles at getting possible packages to experiment at my current distribution and I am not skilled,at all, at …

I have installed the OS in the past(3 months ago) without any kind of problem. I appreciate any help, Thanks

Hello everyone, Please beg my pardon if the question might seem “stupid†but I searched quite a bit without finding a solution. I’m using the ARMBIAN version of Debian Jessie on my Banana Pro with a great dose of satisfaction and I have noticed that the message about “system status†which appears on the first SSH Login Screen after each reboot provides a very useful insight into my system. From my researches I think I have understood that this is called “MOTD†(message of the day) and it is supposed to appear only once per session. I would like to display this message every time I open a new SSH Connection windows to my device, so to always have that i…

hi, since 2 days i am using on my Banana Pi the Debian Jessie with 4.8.15 Kernel with installed Openmediavault 3. The system is working stable, but the network-performance is less then my older Installation based on Debian Wheezy with Openmediavault 2. I tried change the MTU-Size to 9000 and overcklocking up to 1.2 GHz, booth is not possible. I don´t know why ? For the setting the MTU-Size i edited /etc/network/interfaces and added the value "mtu 9000" -> no effects I tried set the MTU over the OMV WebGUI under network settings -> no effects. ifconfig shows me MTU=1500 Booth ways was at Debian Wheezy possible. At Debian Wheezy i had overclock the …

Hello and Happy New Year my lovely Armbian friends! I am aware that this topic is a reoccurring one, having abused the search function beyond its functional capabilities I have found the following threads that deal with somekind of sleep and wake with separate pins for each function: how to wake up OPi3 gpio to inform of system shutdown I would like to know if it is possible to have 1 pin act as both sleep and wake depending on its voltage? - if so how could i modify one of those dts in the first link?

Hi, Is there any sleep or low power modes in orange pi with soft wakeup I want to wake up Orange pi zero at some specific time.

How do I enable the cgroup memory controller on Armbian? I’m trying to control memory usage on my orange pi one using systemd with a unit file as follows: [Service] Slice=influxGroup.slice MemoryAccounting=true MemoryHigh=100M MemorySwapMax=250M The command systemd-cgls confirms that the influxGroup.slice has been created, yet memory is not controlled in line with the parameters in the unit file.

Hi all, During a first installation, wireless worked with both ralink or rtl8192cu usb dongle. Though connection was unstable (ralink) or sometimes even freezing the system (rtl812cu), I could at least see the surrounding ssids and most of the times connect.

Leds won't turn on, no wlanx in ifconfig, no ssids in network manager tray icon... however (tested only with rtl8192cu dongle), lsusb and lsmod seem fine (i can see rtl892cu in lsmod). The only difference I can think off between first and …

It did not work out of the box in both images. So I tried to install the libvdpau-sunxi: http://www.orangepi.org/orangepibbsen/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=878 It compiled. Then I got the error that the cedar_dev dosn't exist. Then I found out that the mainline kernel doesn't have this module. So I tried this: https://github.com/uboborov/sunxi-cedar-mainline But I don't understand what I have to do there. Is there a current armbian image that has a working vdpau or can you…

I have read two old threads in this forum: I have been running this (will post more details if needed) for a few days: VERSION=5.90 DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=18.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=bionic DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS" NAME="Ubuntu" VERSION="18.04.3 LTS (Bionic Beaver)" Kernel is 4.19.62-sunxi The BPi would hang/freeze, seemingly randomly within a day or two. When it does that, there is no HDMI video or response to ping. After reading the first thread, I did stress test on the BPi for more than 2 days. The BPi actually hold up. So, next I ran "ping -i 30 -D 192.168.8.1" -- pinging …

Hello all, i wonder what is the status of the support for this touchcontroller. I've got to know that in latest kernels there is prebuilt support for it and in my latest armbian there is a module for this. But following this: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=143581 i failed to make it work. May be i've done it the wrong way in armbianEnv.txt tho. Should i just insert theese line into this file? dtparam=i2c_arm=on dtparam=spi=on dtoverlay=ads7846,penirq=25,speed=10000,penirq_pull=2,xohms=150 According to dmesg log, module is loading, but nothing happens when i touch the screen. If not, should i instead us…

Hello! There is a common issue with my Orange Pi PC +. I didn't find any solution for it. When I "shutdown -t 0" my device, it continues to consume power and the chipset is warm. Is it possible to turn the power off completely through the command line? Thanks in advance!

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!

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

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.

Hello, i'M having this issue with the latest Armbian 5.75 stretch image with updated firmware. When booting with a huwei E303 modem is in the usb port the board fall in a eternal reboot. if i let the board boot as normal an then insert the modem everything is o.k.

Hello ! I have a problem with an OrangePi Zero under Armbian Buster with mainline kernel (5.8). I need to put the module snd-aloop as primary soundcard (index=0), and the integrated soundcard sun4i-codec as index=1. It worked very well with kernel 5.4 and before. I just had to load the snd-aloop module by adding it to /etc/modules and add "options snd-aloop index=0" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf. But now this is impossible, snd-aloop doesn't load. I had this message when I try to load it manually : modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'snd_aloop': No such device After reading configuration file of the kernel, I saw that the module sun4i-codec (integrat…

After about 10-20 hours of normal work the IP address on USB wifi adapter disappears. Ethernet adapter connected to the same router works well at the same time. System diagnosis information is collected when IP address is missing. After re-plug USB-adapter into the same USB port or reboot, the IP address appears back. Board: Orange PI PC, WIFI: EDUP dual-band on 8811CU chip, built-in drivers Image: 20.11.3 focal Router: Keenetic Ultra Previously I used built-in wifi of Orange PI+ and I didn't have similar problem. Is the problem specific to the WIFI adapter?

I want to drive 2 SPI devices on my orangepi zero. I enabled `spi-spidev` and `spi-add-cs1` overlays and set `param_spidev_spi_bus` to 1. But by I still get only `/dev/spi1.0` available. When I add `param_spidev_spi_cs=1`, I get `/dev/spi1.1` but `/dev/spi1.0` disappears. Do I see it correctly that I can choose *either* `/dev/spi1.0` *or* `/dev/spi1.1` but not both with that overlay? How can I activate both cs pins? There are a bunch of example custom files out there, but none are meant specifically for the setup where I need spi1 (instead of spi0) and need to use a GPIO pin for cs1. And I can't really find any docs on how to write my own overlay. So any help is appr…

Dear Сommunity, I've got an Orange Pi Zero Plus2, it has a WiFi only, no an Ethernet interface. But I want to use a TFTPBoot for my project. That's why I've got two questions: How I can configure/compile U-Boot with WiFi support? And how I can configure it for usage with TFTPboot? Kind regards, Bread Lee

I am using the latest Armbian version with a legacy kernel on my M2+ board. The Armbian forum has already been a great source of help. Now I am facing a new issue: - for my setup the IPv6 NAT netfilter module is required, which was introduced in Kernel 3.7 So in my understanding I have two options: a) backport the kernel module(s) to the legacy Kernel by customizing the armbian build process switch to the mainline Kernel The mainline kernel for H3 boards seems to lack support for Gigabit ethernet and in general still remains no recommended for potential overheating problems? Thus, I guess I have to get working on the Kernel module backports. Do yo…

Hello. From moment when i flashed armbian to SD card and boot it up on Banana Pi M1, random reboots started to show. Ya'll should know that i'm hosting Plex and Tautulli on that. It's pretty much handling these servers without big problems but i'm constantly getting these random reboots. Well, i looked into /var/log/syslog to see what is happening. It looks like before every booting session there's cron job couple of hours before reboot. Maybe that's the reason? I can post whole syslog here from jan 5 till feb 2.

Hello, I am working with a Nanopi Neo Air incorporating the System on Chip Allwinner H3. I need to establish a serial communication via the SPI bus, to do this I am looking for some information related to the SPI bus. Can you help me to know the following information please: - What are the min and max SPI bus frequencies that I can use with the Nanopi Neo Air (Allwinner H3)? How can I calculate them? And are there specific frequency values to use (meaning the relationship is not linear, for example: 3.84MHz, 4.34MHz, etc)? - Can the Nanopi Neo Air be configured as an SPI bus master and as a slave (not at the same time) or o…

Hi, I'm a new user to SBC and is thinking of buy an orange pi pc 2. Since it has a Mali450 GPU and the manufacturer claims that this SBC support OpenGL, can I use that to play some open source games like 0.A.D on armbian? Is armbian have mali gpu drivers installed? Thanks.

Hi All, My first topic here, I own a Banana Pi M1 and I have just switched from bananian. Everything looks great in armbian and most of the things are just working, I just miss zsh from bananian but that was easy to fix. However I use my server for backups using ecryptfs (so I can encrypt/decrypt folders on demand) and I'm unable to mount any ecryptfs directory. My configuration: Banana PI M1 running Debian Wheezy mainline kernel 4.4.3 (just installed) Things I've done: Install ecryptfs-utils (installs ok and tools are available) Try to mount a ecryptfs directory: I get the message "unknown filesystem type ecryptfs" Try to load as a module (just in case):…

Hi, when I try to update my core the apt-get install operation fails. This is because the post-installation script creates a symbolic link as the boot partition does not support because she is fat. Also the boot is only possible with a uImage not zImage I think. To compensate I am forced to make a copy instead of the link.

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…

Hi, my overlays=w1-gpio spi-spidev are not working anymore since I upgraded from 4.14.84-sunxi to 4.19.13-sunxi (Banana Pi with armbian 5.70). Regarding the 1-wire protocol cat /sys/bus/w1/devices/*/w1_slave responds "No such file or directory" since the upgrade. Also regarding the spi overlay # ls /dev/spi* should result in /dev/spidev0.0 whereas kernel 4.19 says "cannot access /dev/spi*: No such file or directory". All was working fine with the 4.14 kernel. thanks in advance

I have couple H3 and A20 devices and all run fine except one - Opi Lite, running latest Arbian (5.26) with built in wifi connected does not close SSH session upon reboot/poweroff. The session eventually times out on client but sometimes I have to kill it manually. There are no modifications to PAM nor systemd-logind configurations and the configuration is exactly the same as on other devices. I'm wondering what may cause this misbehaviour, and how can I fix this? (This topic was created yesterday before db failure/site update and I can't find it now on restored site, I guess it has been lost)

Hi everyone, I am using nmtui to setup static ip both eth0 and wlan0 on orange pi zero. It works fine if only one of them was activated I want to use both. If LAN cable was be connected into pi, the board is run on ethernet. On other side, run on wifi when the cable was pluged out When I rebooted the pi without LAN cable, the eth0 auto activated lead to I can't access the module via wifi even though it is connected successful. I must connect via serial and disable eth0 after that I connected via wifi.

Hi all, Firstly, I want to say that I'm new to Armbian and embedded Linux. I have tried searching the solution for my problem on various sites but I haven't had any luck. I am using a Nano Pi Duo 2 (H3) board with Armbian Buster to communicate with another device through UART1 (TX1, RX1). I am able to communicate at 115200 bps with no problem. However, I need the baud rate to be at least 230400 bps (ideally 921600) for my application. I'm using WiringNP library. When I changed to those baud rates and performed a simple feedback test (shorting TX/RX), I can receive the data. But when I connect it to another device, the communication does not funct…
