I know that mainline kernel now is 4.14, and now is experimental for A64.. I have tried build my own armbian form Orangepi Win Plus. Kernel 4.14 does not recognize audio and LAN. Question. Is it possible to build Armbian 5.51 with old kernel 3.10 for that device ( Ubuntu 18.04). Old kernel works much better with devices A64 cpu. I know that is old......but mayby not so experimental.....

I'm using an Orange pi zero H2 and currently have the pi configured as an access point. I want to be able to SSH into pi using access point wifi, then switch pi onto my home wifi network. When I use the "nmtui" utility I no longer see any available wifi networks. Is it possible to see available wifi networks when I am using the pi as an access point? Thanks, orangepi noob

Hi, I have some armbian 5.38 (kernel 4.11.5) installations and recently updated them. With this update I got kernel 4.14.18.

Hi, I thought instead of waiting for mainline kernel support for these boards, if it would be possible to use Allwinner H6 BSP 4.9.56 kernel? Found at https://github.com/Allwinner-Homlet/H6-BSP4.9-linux I am able to compile it on Sunxi's Ubuntu 16.04 Beta image, however from the serial output it seems to at least have trouble with the sd card initializing. I tried to copy over the sd card information in sdmmc@04020000 from Sunix's own /boot/orangepi/OrangePiH6.dtb into Allwinners sun50iw6p1.dtsi but the boot only went a little further ending in a similar kernel panic to when I used the the BSP4.9 with Sunxi's original OrangePiH6.dtb. I am not very skil…

orange pi one First the orange pi one was connected to a 1280 x 720 hdmi display. Then I connected by hdmi to vga converter the orange pi one to a 1024 x 768 vga display. Orange pi one keeps the 1280 x 720 resolution. And another resolution cannot be set in menu display. How can I set resolution to 1024 x 768? Thank you.

I'm trying to establish usb serial communication between an Orange Pi PC2 H5 running armbian and a samsung galaxy note 4. I'm configuring the micro USB port on the Orange Pi with libcomposite and opening up an acm port. On the android end I'm using a library by mik3y (https://github.com/mik3y/usb-serial-for-android) to establish the communication. The trouble that I'm running into getting Android drivers to support USB serial communication with the H5. I may just be just configuring the orange pi wrong. Here is the libcomposite setup script: #!/bin/bash/ modprobe libcomposite cd /sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget/ mkdir -p g1 cd g1 echo 0xa4ac > idProd…

https://pastebin.com/jpG4iGtX Not sure what else more to say. I included the whole upgrade process including the restart in the paste above. I'll now prepare another sd card using a fresh nightly image and check if this boots normal or if nightly is currently broken at all. Edit: Yep. Current nightly is broken. Pretty much the same errors https://pastebin.com/pGAG1iUy Armbian_5.51.180708_Orangepioneplus_Debian_stretch_dev_4.18.0-rc3 Edit2 Armbian_5.51.180706_Orangepioneplus_Debian_stretch_dev_4.17.4 confirmed working.

My Development board is Orange Pi zero plus2 H5. My bluetooth already in work,but I try to play a .wav for test.this circumstance occurs. This is my test wav file: 1045.wav I use : aplay 1045.wav Playing WAVE '1045.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo then I record the sounds as mypaly.mp3. I guess this problem is due to uart Baud rate 115200 is not high enough . How can i fix this? 1045.wav mypaly.mp3

Board OrangePi+2E, Debian on SD was configured/tested, then nand-instaled to eMMC. Worked as Nextcloud headless server like a charm for more than year (thanks Armbian once again), but suddenly got stuck in boot with quite strange simptoms (read on attacched for exploration HDMI): couple of "sunxi_i2c_do_xfer incomplete xfer" errors /swap creation takes ~100 seconds then complete hang on Ethernet init The only thing I can suspect is some corruption in filesystem(s) on eMMC, but I see no chance to investigate this further as boot from it hangs completely. Fresh SD with mainline Debian boots and works with no issues, so the rest of the …

Hi! Im running armbian 5.25 on a banana pi. And i cant found a way to enable gpio on in. In armbian 5.31, there is an option on the armbian-config to do it. On 5.25 i cant find it. Anyone could help me enabling GPIO for UART3, UART7 and I2C? Thanks Sergio

Hey there, I have two questions and one of those may be pretty dumb, but anyway. What is the issue that the onboard network is disabled at the moment? The other question is about the tested 3rd party hardware which include various LAN and WLAN adapters. Have those indeed tested with the current experimental images and working? Or is the network support disabled in the current builds at all? Best regards Werner

Hi, I'd like to keep the features provided in AX but have my OPi Lite starting and running some software that communicates with a webserver periodically over the internet without the monitor, keyboard and mouse connected unless performing maintenance where remote access isn't appropriate. Is this possible or am I looking at an Armbian Bionic (unsupported) installation?

It seems I have to install either of them for my chromecast to play nice. I have no prior experience with neither of them nor do I know which one is better. There are various threads on the internet but would be interested which one the community uses / trusts, cause I am a bit hesitant on adding random repos. My use case: Stream mkv on local with subs or transcode if it can't show subs. Board: Orange Pi Pc OS: Debian Stretch on 4.14.18 Would appreciate any feedback even if it's only a link to your preferred software / guide.

Im using armbian stretch on an Orange Pi Zero Plus. On normal boot up, the system hangs at starting version 232 for around 1-2 minutes. After this the system procedes to boot normally. What is this delay time and is there any way I can remove it?

Hello everybody! Can I read data from the RFID-MFRC522 module with my NanoPi, if so, tell me what python libraries are in Armbian or will it be necessary to install an official ROM and work through RPi.GPIO?

Hi, I just installed the Armbian_5.35_Orangepilite_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop.img on my 32GB SD card for my new OPi Lite. On start-up the screen res overlaps the monitor a the top and bottom and the screen text is thin, fuzzy and illegible in places. I can see from the Fine Tuning section of the Armbian documentation and a post by tkaiser that the h3disp utility can be used to modify the script.bin file to permanently update the start-up screen res. I have a NEC MultiSync LCD1830 that's optimal res is 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz to 76 Hz so naturally I'm trying set this resolution. The monitor is connected to the Opi Lite via a VGA to HDMI adaptor.

In case anyone else is considering this. I can confirm that I was able to compile Dual DHCP DNS Server on the Orange Pi Zero Plus board by using the instructions for 64 bit Linux as given in the Dual DHCP DNS Server manual (in the download). The project is hosted on Source Forge https://sourceforge.net/projects/dhcp-dns-server/ This is a very lightweight but powerful DHCP/DNS server for Windows and Linux. I currently am running a primary server on Windows and a secondary on the Orange Pi. My current OS is ARMBIAN 5.38 stable Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS 4.14.48-sunxi64. I suspect that it will work for other versions of the OS and board too. Daemonize proved to be s…

Dear Community, I am actively using an Orange Pi Zero Plus 2 board and I want to build U-Boot mainline by myself. I donwloaded mainline version from Denx's git, but when I'm doing configuration for Orange Pi Zero Plus 2. it uses H5 chip, but my board works with H3. During building Armbian Images, build system downloads latest U-Boot version and build it for H3 chip. I'm new to u-boot and maybe someome will help to find propper configs. Kind regards

Hey guys, first off, I'll make no bones about it... I'm an absolute noob. But I wanna learn! So I have the OPi PC and I purchased this 7" HDMI USB touch screen Now, I've plugged it all in and the screen worked fine right out of the box but the touch did not. I've verified it's working by plugging it into my desktop and everything worked great. I can only assume that it's not working due to a lack of drivers. The screen came with a CD that contained the screen drivers but not the touch drivers. It also came with a handful of RPi distros with the drivers preinstalled. But nothing for OPi Can anyone offer some suggestions?

Can you power an Orange Pi Zero or Orange Pi One from the 26/40 pin header ? I am pretty sure the answer is yes as the OPI Zero expansion board has a power jack. But is there any information regarding how to do this ? Do you feed the +5v or the +3.3v Is it the same for all of the RPI compatible headers ?

Hi Everyone After several weeks (maybe months) seeking for a solution for my problem I decide to post it here and hope to get a fix for it. At first I still run an Cubietruck with Armbian (everytime the latest Version) with just a few services (Pi-Hole, RPi-Monitor) and for future use Apache, MariaDB and PHPmyadmin (just installed and running, but with no content). Now to the problem itself: The Cubietruck runs approximatly 6 to 10 days and then it's get stuck. Only a reset solve the problem for the next 6 to 10 days. On every crash I checked the syslog and it always show the following lines as latest entries: Jun 29 15:17:28 localhost systemd[1]: St…

Hi Dear Friends! I'm having trouble using the onboard analog soundcard from my OrangePi Zero +. I already enabled analog-in in armbian-config, but when I try to run some application that uses the sound card, it has an error.

Hello there. I've got an Orange Pi PC+ SBC running desktop Armbian Xenial 5.38 kernel 3.4.113 from its eMMC that showed up pink screen after intermittent Power Up. I was using a 5V power adaptor that became faulty and intermittently became on and off. After replacing the power adaptor and booting up my device to a HDMI monitor, I found out that it now displays nothing but pink screen! Here's what I've done to no avail: 1. Turning on the HDMI monitor before and after I turn on the machine 2. SSHing from UART0 and suing command h3disp -m 5 (or 6 or 33 or 34...). No dice 3. Booting using the same Armbian OS but from SD card. SSH shows me the hostn…

Hi, I'm using Orange Pi 2E+ with 3.4 Multimedia kernel (intend on using Kodi) I have a DVI monitor I want to use, and a crappy HDMI > DVI adapter which for some reason doesn't let computers know that the DVI monitor is connected to their HDMI port Confirmed on 2 different computers. The adapter probably lacks the hotplug-detect pin because computers don't know there's a screen connected, but the screen will show an image if I force my laptop to send a video signal out it's HDMI port using xrandr. Is there a way (using .fex files or whatever) to make the kernel assume that there's a monitor with 1920x1080 resolution on the Orange Pi 2E's HDMI port? …

who tried to install ? who was able to install on eMMC ?

I have 2 boards for a long time, an Orange Pi One and Orange Pi PC... Have used armbian older versions for a long time, after almost an all year without using then i have downloaded and installed on both memory cards the new version 4.14 (last version on June 16).

I am making some testing over A20-SOM from Olimex. I have a signal connected to NMI_N pin and with a legacy distribution, with power_start=0 on FEX, I am able to poweroff the board from command line (while the board is still powered) and then poweron/weakup the board raising up the signal on NMI_N. However, I need to do this on an armbian mainline distribution. I poweroff the board from command line (but keep the board powered), the PWR_LED keeps turn on and the board should wakeup when I turn on the signal on NMI_N and it does on my legacy distribution but not in armbian. Has anyone any clue, advice/tip to make this work in armbian? I really don't know where to sta…

I've tried to downgrade the kernel with the armbian-config tool, but now the opi+2 hangs while booting from emmc. I can boot via sd card, but i dont know how to fix the problem - please help.

https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-one/ Is the armbian stretch system a free software system as defined by the free software foundation? Thanks.

I have a problem with my Opi z+, it is assumed that its maximum frequency is 1200 Mhz, but it does not rise from 816 Mhz. I use a Raspberry charger, of 3000 mha. I changed the governor to performance but it does not go up to 816 Mhz. I use Armbian, based on ubuntu 18.04

I have been using this orangepi for several years now. Today SSH stopped working (it would hang indefinitely after password prompt) so I decided to restart it by removing and re-plugging the psu cable. After that it never appeared on the network again. 1) the board lights up: green / orange light on ethernet, and one green light on MB that turns on for ~25sec then turns off for ~10sec 2) I connected it to two switches with multiple cables, none of them show the ethernet port as active (no light on the switch port) Obviously due to 2) it doesn't appear on the router 3) microsd mounts fine on my pc, did a backup and flashed a clean image to no avail, wil…

Hi: I want to add "nowayout" watch dog parameter to my orange pi pc. I think the syntax should be "sunxi_wdt.nowayout=1". but I don't know how to add this to kernel boot parameter in armbian? is there a config file to add boot parameter? BTW I found if I shut down my orange pi PC normally, I can not restart it unless I unplug/plug the power cord. is this behavior expected? thanks a lot for help!!

How to run a python script at startup on orange pi zero? Thx!

Hello, I have following issue with HDMI resolution 1024x768. As soon as kernel starts loading, little light-green box 6x4px appears at the bottom-left corner of the screen and never goes away. The box always stays on top of everything including mouse pointer and vdpau-accelerated video, not visible on screenshots. Also HDMI sound is full of clicks in this resolution only. Other resolutions are ok. Seems that there is no problem with DVI 1024x768 (entire screen is greenish when connected by HDMI but i see that mouse pointer is visible in that area). First seen this on TV 42PC1RR which has native resolution 1024x768, also reproduced…

After a long time of happyness I got careless and did an apt-get upgrade on one of the OrangePiPcPlus, and I my Eizo FlexScan S1921 Monitor does not sync anymore. I need a Resolution of 1280*1024 at 60 Hz with a pll_video of 432 Mhz. I tried to reselect -m33 on h3disp but this did not change anything. Is h3disp even supported anymore?

Is it possible with icecast2, darkice and Pulseaudio like in this Tutorial: https://michaelfranzl.com/2013/11/25/audio-streaming/ ?? or there other ways? thank you for help.

Hi folks Im facing with strange behavior of my cubie a20 Im booting it from sdcard since mainline armbian not support emmc (as far i know), but it boot from sdcard only when FEL button is pressed. Without FEL pressed it boot into android from emmc. In documentation i read if sdcard is present cubieboard tries boot from it which is legit. This behavior sucks when power loss occurs. My home-made router with some other stuff is offline and all other is offline. I expect to always boot from sdcard or emmc if i flash it with latest armbian. Please help if you can

Hi all, Today I decided to pull my OPi Zero H3 out of its box and fire it up. Downloaded and installed Armbian Stretch mainline kernel 4.14.y to a SanDisk micro sdcard grade 10 and powered it up with a known good 5v 3a power supply I've used to power my OPi Zero's via GPIO (with all my Zero's I've soldered in GPIO headers - something I'm used to doing with RC helicopter and multirotor flight controllers). Connected my USB hub with keyboard and mouse connected. Disconnected my OPi One (RetrOrangePi gaming computer) from its HDMI connection and connected it to my Zero H3 and powered it up. Boot text is on display nice and clear. Then the …

I originally installed Armbian_5.38_Orangepizeroplus_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.14.14 I got NTP with PPS up and running on UART2 with PPS on PA3 I have a working backup image of this. I then used armbian-config to boot from USB disk and I installed a LAMP stack and battled to get a DB up and running. My mistake was upgrading the kernel before making a backup. My version is now ARMBIAN 5.38 stable Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS 4.14.48-sunxi64 NTP and PPS no longer work. Is there a way to downgrade the kernel without having to go back to the backup and battle with the DB config again? I'm a Linux newb so please make allowances for my ignorance. I have searched for sev…

Hi all! Has anyone some experience with dts overlays for the mainline kernel 4.14.47? I connected the SHT11 temperature sensor to PA7 and PA8, installed the sht1x.dts overlay from https://github.com/armbian/sunxi-DT-overlays/blob/master/examples/sht1x.dts via "sudo armbian-add-overlay sht15.dts" and afterwards looked via dmesg into the kernel output. That's what my OPLite reports: It is a kernel IO error. The LogicAnalyzer doesn't record any pin toggle. But what am I doing wrong? Do I have to deactivate the pins in GPIO driver? Can someone please help me? As I soldered the SHT11 by myself I modified some RPi userspace code to v…

Hello, do you guys havea proper device configuration file for crosscompiling Qt apps to Armbian on my opi one? Couldn't find one online and the multitude of flags frankly confuse the heck out of me.

Hi, now that I have Docker up and running, I am facing new problems. After some time, the Zero stops working. I am connected with ssh, and the console is stuck. The port 22 seems to be still opened for nmap, but I can't open a new ssh session anymore. I was trying to monitor it with armbianmonitor -m, and I saw the processor throttling with the temperature rising. Up to 62°C, it stays at 1200MHz, then it goes down to 960MHz, and I saw it once at 480 around 72°C. As I thought that my problems were linked to the heat, I then used a fan and the temperatures stayed at max around 63°C and the CPU at 1200MHz. But the problem still happens. Af…

Hi, I'm very happy to have my OrangePi Zero working (at last!) with Armbian. It looks like docker installed properly on the latest Armbian Stretch mainline kernel 4.14.y, but for some reason, it won't start.

Hi everyone. I got a Orange Pi Prime (OPi Prime). It works ok with "official" debian and ubuntu images from Xulong (xulong web site). When I try to use Armbian 5.33 stable, I got some text into HDMI screen until the words "loading kernel", then nothing is shown on monitor; but through TTL port I can login as root. That behaviour is repeated wheter using Ubuntu (desktop or server), Debian (desktop or server). With Legacy kernel (3.x) the same card worked in the past, but the image is not available anymore. I'm attaching the output from TTL console: Spoiler CPU: Allwinner H5 (SUN50I) Model: OrangePi Prime…

I've experienced some issue on my OPI PC running 4.14 kernel - it disconnects eth after some hours of running. It's very annoying for me because I'm running Home Assistant automations on it and it's located in remote location (not in my home), so I have to drive 50 km to reset/reconnect it manually First I thought OPI just froze somehow (kernel panic or so). But later I've set up heartbeat trigger on red led and it's blinking, so OPI just disconnects from eth. When I unplugged cable for a minute and plugged it in back, networking was restored and I could reach via ssh. I'd like to make some workaround for now and the simplest thing seems to be write a script and pu…

Hi - Just checked out latest greatest code from git to compile new stretch image for my NanoPiNeo2 ( Armbian_5.46_Nanopineo2_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.47 ) but seems it won't boot up. Tried two SDcards and two different boards but same result. Tried both Etscher ( 1.4.4 ) and Rufus ( 3 ) but same result, any issue known that I missed ? Please note I am building a standard image ( thus no customised settings ) also came to my attention the board becomes quite warm, this is unusual . Thanks

Let's say I'm deploying hundreds of warehoused devices employing an H5-based Orange Pi Zero Plus, and I need a reliable distinct identifier for each. In another application we're using the MAC address, but that seems not to be EEPROM-ed on the OPiZ+. So, okay, SOC Unique ID has been mentioned elsewhere (MAC generation on the OPiZ+), but where is it available? cat /proc/cpuinfo does not include "Serial". lshw has a "serial" but I'm not sure that's reliable (I've got a Beaglebone that doesn't show one - and it says /proc/cpuinfo Serial: 00000000). So what's a good low-cost (i.e. not by launching Perl scripts) way to obtain the unique CPU identifie…

I am a long-time Linux user, who casually and confidently and regularly uses the software 'Update Manager' in Linux Mint to keep my software up-to-date. I also have no problem using 'apt update' to update specific software packages. What I am more careful about is ever using 'apt upgrade' and 'apt dist-upgrade' -- almost never doing so.

Hello I am a Armbian user in the past 3 or 4 years on a Cubietruck running a headless server in my home. Great machine!!! One of the services that i use is a TVheadend server on cubietruck since wheezy version. But from now and from a couples releases ago, my tvheadend clients the image are it artefacts green on screen. My Armbian version now is stable stretch, and tvheadend server is 4.2. I think this is a kernel problem but i don´t no how to fix. It is possible to downgrade to the 3.4 stable kernel on stretch ? If i remenber in the Armbian wheezy or first jessie releases i don´t have this problem and all the h…

Hello, sorry but my english is not best. I tried to search forum for these problems, but I do not found the answers First problem is that serial console do not work for me, just random symbols, I already tried 3 USB to RS converters with 3.3 V logic, hercules_3-2-8 and putty as SW, with multiple setting, mostly 115200, 8 data bits, no handshake, no parity. Second problem the HDMI do not show useful data either, at least for me there was nothing I can understand as problem. I have 2 orange Pi lite available, so it is probably not a board problem, I tried 2 SD cards and multiple images (desktop legacy kernel 3.4.y and mainline kernel 4.14.y …

Hi, I just downloaded this image from here (this is the link i copied from the bananapipro site): https://dl.armbian.com/bananapipro/Debian_stretch_next.7z and i got Armbian_5.38_Bananapipro_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.14.7z on my disk. Unpacked it and put it on my sdcard with etcher. Tried to mount it as loop device --> error. Checked with gparted --> it said /dev/sdc1 is not ok. Repaired it with gparted and could mount it. Put it with etcher on the card. --> Bananpipro does not boot. Red light is the only one that shows up, none of the other led is blinking. What can i do? best regards Ralf

Hello, and thank you for your great work on Armbian. I have a BananaPi running on Armbian 5.38 Debian Stretch, downgraded to 5.31 due to freezing problems. i would love to use a 5" 800x480 HDMI connected "china"-Display with the BananaPi. Unfortunately it doesn't provide any EDID infos. I managed to set the resolution to 800x600 with an overscan_y=120 in boot.cmd, setenv video-mode sunxi:800x600-24@60,monitor=hdmi,hpd=0,edid=0,overscan_y=120 to see a approximately matching console screen. But the display is somehow not correct, wrong colors and no sharp characters. The only resolution with correct colors and sharp characters was…
