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…

Hi everyone ! I'm starting this new dedicated thread because I've got some new headache about this issue that we tried to figured out since months... I've received my PineH64 last week, and with this board I don't faced the reboot hang behaviour ! Today, since I've committed the OPi3 WIP scripts, and facing same reboot hang, I've decided to to try booting PineH64 image on this OPi3 board, but unfortunately reboot hang still occurs ... This brings me to a conclusion that it is not a software issue, but maybe hardware one ... I will dig on that during next few days by comparing PMIC and other between all those boards ... …

Hello, I used your newest Debian wheezy Image 3.8. Boot up from SD installed to NAND via script so far everything fine. But if I remove the SD card it won't boot anymore, it even doesn't show some output on serial connection. Can you give me a hint how to solve it? Thanks Fips

Hello, First of all thanks for the very nice dist, it's clean and optimized. Unfortunately the Banana Pi is unbootable after having done the following: Migrate the root fs to my USB drive and make it bootable with the nand-sata-install script Change the hostname (modify /etc/hosts, modify /etc/hostname, run /etc/init.d/hostname.sh, reboot) run apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade, reboot Each time the Banana Pi could not boot anymore, and that happened with both Jessie and Wheezie images. I can't get any screenshots of the boot screen because it's a headless server. Any ideas? mk16

Hi there, while trying to solve the issue with OPi PC and rtl8188 (thread link) I managed to get console on the UART interface, nice feature considering my networking issues, btw is there a way to output the kernel messages (dmesg like) to the UART console in real time? I'm asking cos the issue that I'm trying to fix involves system freeze + automatic reboot and I would like to see the logs during the event. I already tried to mess with printk, but it's very likely I've done something wrong.

I would like to upgarde my Cubietruck headless server from Legacy to Vanilla. With Legacy if I boot from NAND I can get my hard disc to spin down. But with SD card/sda root file system (as required by Vanilla) I can't get my disc to stop: if I issue 'hdparm -Y /dev/sda' it spins up again after a short interval. I have done everything I can think of to ensure that rsyslog is not writing to disc. Syslog shows frequent ata error messages that seem to coincide with the disc re-starting.

Hi, From months i'm using the raspberry boards to monitor, control, log and to sending commands to remote stations. I've fighted against wifi devices that stop to work untill i've tried the raspberry pi3 and the edimax dongles, correct the sd errors (untill i've decided to run the boards with a readonly fs), installed the (software) watchdog, etc... but now everything works perfectly from months on more then 20 boards equipped with good power supply and sd. The last months i've tried to replace the raspberry pi board, with the orange pi lite board and armbian jessie 5.20 server. With the old version of orange pi pc, connected by ethernet, everything works fine, but wi…

Hi there I have a banana pi M1 and I have installed Armbian on it. The HDMI output / Display work fine if I have HDMI connected to the HDMI port of BPi and monitor/tv is turned on before Armbian booting process starts. However if I don't have HDMI connected before boot process or Monitor/Tv is not turned on then I don't see the display if I connects the HDMI or turned on Monitor later. It is a problem for me because when I want to connect to display to already booted OS. Does anyone faced this behavior? Please advise.

Hello, Since a week I try moving the OS on the sdcard to an attached SSD. OS: Armbian 5.65 Ubuntu Xenial 3.4.113 desktop Because the BPIM1 has a genuime SATA interface it should work.

But after the install and rebooting I got the notification that it couldn't find the ssd. I guess I have to change something in the bootloader on the sdcard? (I am not a Linux expert but an enthustiastic Linux user) Is there any working tutorial including the final…

Hi All! I had the same problem with several different kind of wifi SoC-s on an R1 board, with different operating systems: wifi is slow and unreliable in AP mode. Both with integrated RTL8192CU, an external RTL8192EU, RT3570 and RT5370, various Atheros chipset based dongles - all of them is very slow. I had no any problem on single-eth BananaPi board, but i got less than 2mbit up/download speed on a 30mbit+ network... I tried several OpenWrt versions (official 1,2,3 and latest trunk), now i tested Igor's ubuntu with the same result: slow and lagging Do You have same experience? Or is it working fast? Any idea?

Members of the forum may like to know that I have used Armbian's image of Debian Jessie for Orange Pi Lite Wifi that I found quite easy to set up. I have connected Orange Pi to a PIC device to control it with Telegram bot.

First, I am generally not a Linux person, so pardon any silly questions here. I am working on an OrangePi Plus 2E with (recent) Armbian. It has been working fine with the Jessie Desktop for several weeks now. I generally am running it 'headless', so I'm not sure exactly when, but sometime between last Saturday and yesterday I seem to have lost the desktop (and autologin, ...). I see a number of messages on the console at boot, including 'Stopped User Manager for user ID 1000' and then removing 'slice' for this user. The system is operating fine, just not the UI. So, how do I get autologin and desktop back (other than a new install)? What might have caused …

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?

Hello, recently got a pinebook. I have a strong Linux-on-PC-user background (running ArchLinux on my desktop & older netbook, and debian oldstable on my home server laptop), but not really a developer background and no experience with single board computers at all! Ubuntu Mate is happily chugging along right now, but video playback (h264 packed in .mkv) is abysmal to non-existent. I have tried these releases; the stable 0.6.2 first: AFAICS, it uses a frambuffer driver (fbturbo) under Xorg. video playback was more than choppy, and the UX drops to zero because the video window can't be resized and sticks to the screen, …

Hi all, I've been trying to install ft6x drivers on a nanopi neo air, which has armbian with legacy kernel, but it seems there is no support for ft6x capacitive touch panels. There is a code from Focaltech here, which is ft6x06 driver code. I added the code to kernel and compiled it, but the problem is: what should I do with fex file? Or is it right to do this? (I was not surprised that it didn't work). Can I change the current ft5x code to make ft6x works? There is also a support for ft6x family on mainline kernel. Is there any hope to adopt that code? Thanks.

Hi there, I'm trying to set up AP + STA on wlan0 using Orange Pi Zero 2W and Orange Pi Zero 3 with the Armbian image. I managed to do this on a Raspberry Pi Zero W. I encountered a problem: when creating a virtual access point, the process hangs and cannot be killed. Any attempt to view the logs after starting the process also leads to a hang, and only a reboot helps. This problem does not occur on the Raspberry Pi. I use the command: sudo iw phy phy0 interface add ap0 type __ap. For testing, I added an external USB Wi-Fi module to the Orange Pi Zero 3 and managed to create a virtual access point on it without any problems or hangs, so this problem only occurs …

Hi, I just started to fiddle around with my Cubietruck (since I exchanged it with a Banana Pi for productive stuff). I had to realize that /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ is missing and that cpufreq-info outputs "no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU" correctly. Anyone else seeing this behaviour? Cpufreq support should be back with 4.0? Based on a sysbench run ("sysbench --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=5000 run --num-threads=2" -- takes 58 seconds) I would suppose it's running not even at 960 MHz (since 960 should finish in less than 54 seconds).

Hi All, @tkaiser mentions in this thread http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/1193-orange-pi-plus-2e-now-available/ the lima-memtester utility, requesting tests for the Orange Pi Plus 2E. Unfortunately I do not have a Orange Pi Plus 2E, I have however just received 10x Orange Pi Lite's and 2x Orange Pi PC+'s. Would it be useful to the project if I run this utility on all / some of my devices? Assuming yes and noting the comment: Do I need to run a desktop image with the HDMI plugged into a monitor? Also do I need provide some extra information to uniquely identify each board or will this happen automatically? Dave.

I found the right download by searching for it but maybe someone can fix the link on the main download page.. everything has gone swell since starting with the right version ya'll worked so hard on.. Ya'll rock.. keep up the awesome work..

I just ordered a couple of Orange Pi Zero systems to use in small IoT projects. Reading the forum I see the wireless for Orange Pi Zero might have issues. But some of the posts wanted to use it as an AP. That's not my case, I'll test them when they get here, but just how bad is it? I will not have a heavy load, but I would like something stable. When push comes to shove should I plan on using an Ethernet cable rather than the wifi?

Hi, I have connected additional USB port on the GPIO header. The port works fine when I plug something on a running system. But if the device is connected before powering Zero - port does not recognize the device. So I need always unplug and plug back after rebooting.

Please help me figure out how I can solve this problem

Hello, Just received this board and I can't get it to turn on if the SD card is present. I've tried several cards and I know them to be good (Samsung Evo 32GB). Any ideas?

wanted to make a system install to USB pendrive, but aborted it. Now it wont boot at all , but i managed to check out what may be the problem with the help of uart and the following came out: Gave up waiting for root device.

Hi. I've been using my Cubietruck for some time now without any issues. It is not directly connected to the outside world and is only used for some home automation. It boots via SD -> the SSD and has an internal battery as UPS. Really happy with it. Last year I migrated from Wheezy to Jessi so now I am at: ARMBIAN Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 3.4.109-sunxi I still receive the updates via ap-get update && upgrade, however should I be updating major like kernel? As this thing is used for home automation I am not looking forward to large down times. ;-) tnx for your honest responses.

Hi I've downloaded v5.38 firmware for my Cubietruck device and replaced on an older version due to my problem with new updates. Etcher was my tool for writing image on SD card and i have cleared SD card before writing new image. When new image installed and device booted up, but WiFi is not working and WiFi module is neither listed in lsmodule output nor module list file. It seems that WiFi driver is not installed or WiFi hardware is not detected. Is there any way to fix this issue? @Igor

Some time before I installed iobroker on my cubietruck and since that the system crashes every now and then. Two times iobroker was not able to start anymore after a crash. After googling I found out that maybe my SD card is the problem and so I bought a SSD. Now I found out that I don't have to reinstall the system. I can simply transfer all data from SD to SSD by using nand-sata-install. Everything worked fine. System reboots. But only the SSD partition was formated and all data was transfered. The boot information was not changed. Because I have no idea about unix boot configuration I better keep my hand…

Hello, When configuring I2C ports in armbian-config it shows 3 I2C ports (i2c0,i2c1,i2c2). The pinout from http://linux-sunxi.org/Xunlong_Orange_Pi_Zero shows only 2 I2C ports: 3 TWI0_SDA / PA12 / GPIO12 5 TWI0_SCK / PA11 / GPIO11 and 16 TWI1-SDA / PA19 / GPIO19 18 TWI1-SCK / PA18 / GPIO18 are there 3 or only 2 I2C ports ? (how to configure the third if there is one ?) thanks for your answers Jean Antoine

Hi everyone, Recently I have installed armbian Bookworm on my orangepi pc and i noticed that the LEDs were not working. The system is booting with no issue and I have connected to wifi and did an initial software update and bootloader update and still the issue is persisting. So I clean installed jammy on the pi to check it again and still the led was not working. Please help me out on this issue, and if anything more is required please do let me know.

Simple to reproduce: Install armbian from Armbian_23.05.0-trunk_Bananapip2zero_bookworm_current_6.1.24.img after setup make apt-get update apt-get upgrade System will do nothing after reboot, LED stays off copying back kernel 6.1.24 brings it back to life again, with the rest upgraded. thanks Michael

Hi to all, i´d try to setup a Banana PI M1 as AppleTalk Printserver because my old LaserWriter 4/600 only got a LocalTalk Interface. But the Kernel didn´t support AppleTalk, i compiled it in myself successfully. After i installed Netatalk 2.2.5 and do a nbplkup, the Bpi answers: bananapi:netatalk 65280.79:4 bananapi:Workstation 65280.79:4 No Printer, no Bridge. I think, the buildin Eth0 dont route AppleTalk Pakets. I tryed Bananian, armbian and strech without success. So, what shall i do? Hallmackenreuther

Hi, my current project is about using a NanoPI M1 as a controller for a 3D printer. As such, one wants to have very tight timing on the GPIO output, with as little jitter as possible, to get smooth motion of the stepper motors. However, it is common belief that getting a fast timing with little jitter is virtually impossible to do under linux, without the help of a dedicated chip just for the IO. While that is true in general on stock kernels, it's possible to vastly improve on that front by spending a little effort. One way on ARM chips is to use the FIQ. That is an interrupt that has the highest priority, which can interrupt all other, regular interrupts. Ho…

Hello Everybody !!! Armbian works great on beelink (Armbian_5.20_Beelinkx2_Debian_jessie_3.4.112) Just one last thing to reach the perfection : "speaker-test -twav -c2" gives good sound on hdmi But with mpv (and vlc previous version) hdmi sound and video are slowed... With audiocodec and sndspdif it's ok. Is it a known problem ? Is there other way to play sound and video ? cat /etc/modules #gpio_sunxi bcmdhd sndspdif sunxi_sndspdif sunxi_spdif sunxi_spdma sunxi-cir

Hi, We use different armbian images for our different orangepis and every time we change a board model we only point script.bin shortcut to .bin file of the new board and it always work without changing the whole image. But we could not make Opi zero work with this technic. Opi zero does not work when we copied orangepizero.bin from opi zero image to /boot/bin folder and point script.bin to than file. (as older armbian images do not have orangepizero.bin we had to copy from new opi zero image.) We tried to boot from opi lite image but wifi and usb (and probably other things as well) does not work. As our image is custom made and we have to change a lot of things is…

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?

The freedombox.org is libre software. The software provides a server solution having a list of preinstalled programs. This post is about if the orange pi one can get a libre software version of the freedombox installed on it. The orangepi one is interesting because of its price and performance. What determines if you can install a libre software image on an arm computer? Is it uboot support? Can you install a libre software version of the freedombox on an orange pi one? The freedombox people say, if you can install pure debian on an arm computer, you can install the freedombox too. Can I ask…

Hello, Using Vanilla Jessie latest image and used sd to sata/usb script to put everything on an 8gb usb stick. Everything works fine. When i add a 2.5 " sata hard drive system does not boot. Green light goen on, disk starts to spin and after a couple of seconds disk stops spinning and only red light stays on. I tried connecting sata disk after booting and i can see the disk through fdisk -l. (I put the disk on power after booting the system) I use this adapter:Power supply adapter 12V/1A , bought from olimex. Any idea what might be the case?Maybe there is not enough power to start hard disk while booting? Thanks in advance.

Hello ! I'm a proud owner of a Opi One which is supposed to be my media server and torrent server.

I was testing the orangepi PC+ armbian build 5.20 (Armbian_5.20_Orangepipcplus_Debian_jessie_3.4.112_desktop) when messing with it it seemed to have random reboots. I thought initially it was because it was lacking a heatsink or fan. So I added both and the issue persisted. Thinking maybe if I flashed to emmc it might resolve the issue it froze in emmc install and is effectively softbricked from what I can tell sadly. I also tested a second OPIPC+ but was unable to get it to boot. I tested with multiple new power cables as well.
