Hello :), I have updated my system from "Armbian_5.35_Debian_jessie_3.4.113" to latest "Armbian_5.53.180722_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.17.9". With jessie there will only S0, S1, S2 displayed and Im Working with S1 (Uart1) and S2 (Uart2) from the 13 Pinheader. With Bionic and also Stretch i got S0, S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7 and none of them is working. So how can I access the Uart1 and Uart2 with the new Bionic build?

OK, folks, I have I2C working for Luma.OLED, but now I'm trying an SPI display (SSD1331) and having some issues. I modified OPi.GPIO pin mappings as follows (see below), but I'm wondering if my SPI configuration is correct. I'm using overlays=spi-spidev and param_spidev_spi_bus=1, but I'm wondering if I should also be using CS1 configuration as well since I'm using SPI bus 1 (bus 0 is reserved for flash). i.e. param_spidev_spi_cs=1 and overlays=spi-add-cs1. I only ask this because the Luma.OLED instructions say "Because CS is connected to CE0, the display is available on SPI port 0. You can connect it to CE1 to have it available on port 1. If so, pass port=1 in your seria…

Hi, I have flashed Armbian_5.35_Orangepilite_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop.img - and it works fine with my Orange Pi Lite v.1.1 But if I flash Armbian_5.38_Orangepilite_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.14.img which is aslo supported, the device does not boot. At least I get no output on HDMI, and no serial console over OTG. So I cannot check if it does not boot at all, or dies somewhere in the middle How can I check why it does not boot?

Greetings, i want to run some shaders on a headless OrangePI Zero (H2+/Mali 400 running standard Armbian on mainline kernel). I saw there are drivers available now. Is there a binary blob of the driver available somewhere? Or maybe a simple HOWTO? I don't want to mess with driver compilation if I don't have to. I just want to run my shaders on that GPU.

Hi Guys, I wanted a debian stretch based OS, and I followed Olimex consideration on Armbian. The I visited the Page of Lime2( not nand or emmc): https://www.armbian.com/olimex-lime-2/ The stretch Image that is there...is configured to boot from emmc :( I want a debian stretch based version.

There appears to be a problem or incompatibility with the new 2018.05 u-boot configuration and/or implementation and the Armbian sunxi-next startup scripts (both in the current master branch). The "fdt" command processing doesn't appear to properly expand local environment variables before trying to execute them (?). Here's an example from a vanilla Armbian boot (u-boot 2018.05) - notice the "libfdt fdt_path_offset() returned FDT_ERR_NOTFOUND" errors when the DT fixup script runs: ...

Hi, every one: I installed Armbian Xenial desktop legacy kernel 3.10.y on my OPI win plus , it's good. (At least, Bluetooth, WIFI and Ethernet are good). But after i execute "apt upgrade",The bluetooth is fault. So, I tried to freeze the kernel upgrades, and hold "armbian-firmware"package, then run "apt upgrade", All do not work. However, when i insert a BT-dongle(USB), this dongle is functional. So I think there is a bug in some package, please help me to solve.

I'm pretty new to Linux, so it could just be me doing something wrong, but I downloaded Armbian_5.34.171121_Orangepiplus2e_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.13.14_desktop.img, put it on an SD card, and load it in the orange pi. The legacy installs fine but not this version. Before I even make it to the login prompt I get these codec errors: sun4i-codec 1c22c00.codec: ASoC: /soc/codec/analog@01f015c0 not registered sun4i-codec 1c22c00.codec: Failed to register our card Then after filling out the login info, adding a new user, it goes to boot to the desktop, but nothing happens, just returns me to the command line. After some mucking aro…

I cannot get SPI working on my Nanopi Duo or rather there is no /dev/spi*. I build a custom Kernel with the build process and Network and other stuff works. Loading the spi-spidev overlay in various ways did not help. (Loading via U-Boot, during runtime, combine the overlay and devicetree and compile it as whole) By the way, the Images from https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-duo/ are not even booting through U-Boot for me. Some Infos:

I have OPI 2 running latest armbian mainline with MQTT broker and home assistant only. And I've started to experience hard freezes that only power re-plug helps :/ At first I thought that only networking was gone, but I've triggered hearbeat on red onboard led and this led is just stopping blinking on freezes. I've even got rid of Network Manager and setup iface in old good way via /etc/networking/interfaces. Then I've connected to serial console, run minicom in screen with logging to file. Just to see if serial console would show some kernel panic or so...but nothing, no output on serial console. Anyone experienced such behaviour? How to debug it? My sec…

Hello, I've purchased a 2e recently, in order to replace a RPI3 with a more powerful device (and get graphics acceleration, be able to watch youtube videos, etc). I've tested multiple builds, and even on the legacy kernel, there is just no way to get it to work properly. The board, when it sits completely idle, is between 48 and 52°. And if I move a window on the desktop, it's all laggy and the cpu jumps to 60+° --the same with a mainlain image in fact, in headless mode... frequently the console would freeze for a couple seconds while the temperature is very high for no reason. It seems there is no hardware graphics acceleration, ever. Curr…

Hi, I'm running Armbian Stretch with the 4.14.y kernel on my Orange Pi Zero, as a headless Samba server. Does anyone have a link to a tutorial on how i can add a GPIO button to run the shutdown command, so I don't have to SSH into it every time I want to shut the thing down? thanks.

Hi, Got Debian (8) legacy 3.4.113 server/console and would like to setup a WiFi hotspot.

Hello. I want to test wireguard with the bionic nightlies on my OrangePi Plus 2e, but I'm unable to install the correct linux headers.

I have a rev 1.4 Orange Pi Zero that overheats. I've confirmed this by touch and know it's a known problem. On the legacy kernel, setting CPU to 800 Mhz and RAM to 300 Mhz used to keep things cool. (e.g. "sudo h3consumption -m 800"). h3consumption doesn't exist on 4.14 kernels, so how do I underclock?

Hello I have an armbian on my Orange Pi PC2 Could you tell me, how I can detect in console is audo jack is plugged in or not?

I have simple Banana Pi. I have Armbian on it installed on Feb this year. I can see in Changelog that there were no kernel updates for this (A20) board. Will there be any kernel updates? And when?

So I have an application which requires 1Mbps UART and wasted a few days trying to debug my board thinking that was the issue (was working perfect at 115kps), so I decided to scope the UART TX from the orangpi, and of course that signal was not actually working at 1Mbps. Scope is saying that its running at 750Kbps. Did some research and it looks like there is some sort of UART scaling frequency set in the driver, which excludes certain bitrates from running (check here https://github.com/jernejsk/linux/blob/master/drivers/tty/serial/sunxi-uart.c#L356-L381 ) Did some further tests and 460Kbps works fine as well as 1.5Mbps (so its not an issue w…

I am trying to use fbtft on the Orange Pi Zero, seems broken. Looks like an issue with the SPI driver itself. My skills are not enough to debug this.

Hi Srs! I have problem in using Armbian 14 with orange pi zero .. I already used the Armbian system in my OrangepiZero. However, I reinstalled everything again and downloaded the latest version of the operating system here on the site. When I try to use onboard audio (both capture and output) does not work. I have already enabled the analog-codec and it still does not work. Remembering that I already used the equipment with the Armbian and used the onboard capture of the board perfectly. Thanks!

Hi! I successfully set up a headless web server using an Orange Pi PC, and Armbian Stretch (mainline kernel 4.14.y). I installed MySQL, PHP 7, and a custom web application built with Symfony. It is running better than I expected (faster than my local XAMPP). However, I was wondering if it could handle 35-45 visitors/users connected at the same time or not? Thanks!

Hi All!

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

Hi I am very new to computers. I have a raspberry pi 3 and just bought a orange pi one. My problem is I am unable to download an operating system to my working raspberry to burn to an sd card to be able to use the orange because the raspberry doesn't have enough space on my memory card. Do any of you know a company or person that could sell me an o/s that is already on a card for the orange, I have been hunting for ages for a site that sells something like noops for the raspberry. I have read that armbian edge might be the right choice if i can get it. Any help appreciated.

Hello every one I'm new to this site and I have recently purchased an Orange Pi Win Plus but got a lot of issues in configuring it. I'm now able to blink LED through Shell and C with WiringPi but I couldn't find any working Python 3 based Library for GPIO. I installed WiringPi from : https://github.com/OrangePiLibra/WiringPi This actually helped me to access GPIO through C/C++ and Shell but I couldn't find any thing for Python that's working.

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? …

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.

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

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…

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?

Hi! Sorry if it is already covered but I didn't find a complete answer on the subject on the forum... So I have activated the uart3 overlay and enable CTS and RTS on an own-build Armbian 5.27 dev flavor for my NanoPi NEO Air. But I was unable to get the AP6212 Bluetooth working, I've try some infos/commands found elsewhere without any luck My question: Is Bluetooth on Nanopi NEO Air (or any H3 board with AP6212) still WIP on Armbian? Thanks. Emmanuel.

Hi, Just did a fresh 5.49 build, OPi PC, legacy, Ubuntu console/server. Ethernet network is not working (out of the box) It does not get an IPv4 address automatically Tried to and got it enabled via nmtui, it was showing an 'eth0' as activated and a 'Wired connection 1' as deactivated. I activated the wired connection1, it automatically removed the eth0 from the list and then it has taken an IP address. Did a reboot, though after reboot it was again not working, it did not retained settings. NMTUI show again eth0 as activated and 'wired connection' as deactivated. And no IP address is given to the b…

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…

I am a former Dietpi singer of praises (aka as Igor calls us evangelists[not anymore] will now refer to it as the other distro or dp I suppose)...until they kyboshed the armbian based dp images for the orange pi series of SBC's...since then...have attempted to go back and forth with varying success (mostly failures) Going to bite the bullet and go full armbian...been battling getting good wifi connectivity (using my Orange Pi Lite boards as octoprint servers for my 3D printers) After building my own hybrid armbian/dp crossbreed distro for Orange Pi Lite and getting it successfully upgraded to their V6.9 well...it started flipping out, so gonna come…

Hello, First I want to thank you for wonderful linux distribution it was been awhile since I last used it, and lot of things changed for me. So I need someone to point me in right direction to catch up with some changes. i'm using Armbian_5.38_Orangepizero_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.14 First thing I do not see is script.bin - I use to configure gpios, which one gonna be uart, spi ........ etc. How can I do that now. Second thing is h3consumption tool, I usually use it do disable some system components, like usb in order to lower cpu temperature. I found answers to other things so far using google. So if someone point…

Hi, I get this line on my welcome screen of my Orange Pi Zero: Welcome to ARMBIAN 5.38 stable Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS 3.4.113-sun8i When I checked the download page, I see this as the file name: Armbian_5.38_Orangepizero_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.14 I got confused about the numbers 3.4.113 and 4.14.14 What do they mean? Is my installation behind the latest version? Can I upgrade to it?

I am running Ubuntu Xenial (legacy version) on my Orangepi zero 256 Mb version and using it as a web server with light torrenting. The SoC temperature reading in armbianmonitor reaches above 80 C easily. When i log in via ssh after boot the temperature reads usually 60-65 C and normal operations easily cross 70 C. This is my first SBC so I am not sure if this is normal? Can anyone tell me if these temperature readings are fine and should I do something about it?

Hello! I just installed armbian 5.38 and updated it (apt update, upgrade...) so i'm use last packages on the board.

Hi all, I've connected a Serial-TTL converter to my Macbook Pro on one side, and an OrangePi Zero on the other, when I power up the Zero, I'm getting the following, what looks like an output with missing characters: I'm connecting with "sudo screen /dev/cu.usbserial 115200" and the adapter's driver in the network connections is set to 115200. The adapter is an Adafruit USB to TTL Serial Cable with a Prolific chipset. Any ideas?

Hi all, I've been using the A20-Lime2 together with Armbian for about two years now and I love the effort that the developers and the community have put into this amazing product. Until not too long ago I was on Debian 8 (jessie) on the legacy kernel for webcam compatibility reasons (after having tried switching to mainline from time to time). With the release of Debian 9 I finally had everything that I was looking for in the mainline kernel so I decided to upgrade to Debian 9 and then switch to the mainline kernel. I'm currently on ARMBIAN 5.38 stable with 4.14.15-sunxi and just had to force a reboot. The server I'm running is mainly a webserver, …

Hi all! Please excuse my noobness. It's my first day on Armbian + Orange Pi Zero. Until now I was using Raspbian + RPi Zero W but I could not find related docs for what I was doing so far on the previous platform. My goal here is quite simple: being able to connect my OPi through OTG (ether) and enable the RNDIS interface on my macOS. Already tried several tips and configuration snippets I've found around, which led me to this stage: The USB0 is up and configured: 3: usb0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether ee:95:f9:4f:6c:28 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet…

Hi friends, one question - this camera works with Orange Pi zero2Plus for me (mostly). But do I need to use always the green PCB with camera, or can I directly plug in the small black camera with its brown ribbon to Orange Pi? Should it work without green PCB or not? Many thanks.

Hello I would like to connect a 3d printer in usb on my cubietruck, except that when I connect it it does not detect the dev port. I do not know what to do. I do not know which USB driver works on the cubietruck. dmesg : [37883.769292] usb 4-1: new full-speed USB device number 4 using ohci-platform [37884.038336] usb 4-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1a86, idProduct=7523 [37884.038354] usb 4-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [37884.038365] usb 4-1: Product: USB2.0-Serial on which port dev is connected the printer?

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

Hi, I recently got a NanoPI NEO2 v1.0. I am able to load the Linux images using SD card and login using debug UART. But I am facing a strange issue where I need to disconnect USB power AND debug UART GND to switch off/on the board. I am using PL2303 UART module and connected the Tx, Rx and GND (verified using board diagram in wiki). Basically to completely reset the board, I also need to disconnect the UART GND. Is this expected? The LED is always on from beginning of boot till UART GND is disconnected (on even with USB power off). I have also verified that the board boots up only using UART 5V and without USB power, but I would to continue using U…

Is there some DT overlay to enable or some software to install to use the onboard bluetooth radio of the Orange Pi Zero Plus 2?

CONFIG_BTRFS_FS_CHECK_INTEGRITY is not enabled in config. When I tried to enable it in the armbian build system, I saw the word "DANGEROUS". Is this an unstable (or dangerous) feature ? Should I enabled it and use it ? if not, how to ensure data integrity ?

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 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). My Orange Pi PC is fine, works nice and smoth... But the Orange Pi One dont give me any light (red or green) on the board!!! I tryed to use the OS for PC on the One and its give me green light but dont give video signal... To test the board itself, downloaded and tested a few other OS, from Orange Pi site... And all other OSs from there worked just fine on my One... Turned on leds and give me video s…

It is one of the smallest board featuring H5 soc. Since it has an on-board HDMI connector, i think it would be great to have a Desktop image for this board. Other H5 /similar boards like PC2 and Prime already have various desktops available (xenial / stretch with xfce).... Do u guys have any plan to release one in the future? and thanks a lot for the tremendous amount of effort u have put into this project :)

Hello everybody. AFAIK Banana PI M1+ share the same costumed Armbian OS with Banana Pro. The Armbian can run pretty well without any changes on my Banana Pro. The problem is, with the same OS image, the on-board WiFi is not working and i can't remember what im doing (what i remember is I do something inside /boot directory), then the WiFi is detected and working properly on my Banana Pi M1+. My simple question is What is the right way to configure Armbian for Banana Pi M1+ after installation? I assume all the default configuration is for Banana Pro and we need some tweak for Banana Pi M1+ especially to enable on-board WiFi and to use GPIO properly.

Hello, I am new to Nanopi platform. I want to use nanopi m1+ as a wifi access point. How should I go after it from starting?

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

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…
