Hello! Thanks for this great project! I've tried to clean install Armbian 4.2 with 4.1.6 kernel on Cubietrack. I've tried Debian Jessie and Wheezy.

Hi, I used Armbian_4.5_Cubietruck_Ubuntu_trusty_4.2.3 as sd card image. Later I moved it to a sata connected ssd and upgraded to 4.2.6 kernel. As I needed a second drive I bought a : StarTech.com USB 3.0 to 2.5†SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Cable w/ UASP – SATA to USB 3.0 Converter for SSD / HDD This usb to sata works fine with the ssd. The second drive is a 5v 2.5†SATA and the usb current is not enough so it is connected to the sata on cubietruck. On the second usb i have connected a usb to ethernet adapter. Trying to boot results to kernel panic (& something about no init) and cubietruck reboots. I am wondering if I need to change anything e…

I am running the desktop Ubuntu Xenial legacy image from https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-plus/. My goal is to setup the system for gaming, so I am looking to get the accelerated GPU performance. A couple questions: 1. Does this image run with an accelerated driver enabled by default? When loading applications that use GL, I see a log about not being able to load the mali driver. 2. If not, where can I get the driver and how can it be enabled? I know that distributions like RetrOrangePi include this by default, but I want to understand what they are loading so I can setup the system on my own. Thank you!

Hi, I own the first Orange Pi (A20, VGA, HDMI, NAND, 4xUSB, WiFi). I notice there is no Armbian image for download anymore. The last one I still have is a 3.4.113, 5.25 Ubuntu/Xenial-default-desktop (currently running from the NAND very well, but I can't seem to run the wifi in AP mode). Is Armbian for this board is dropped for good ? Is there a way to update my 5.25 to last version without breaking everything ? Or maybe convert a A20 image to this board, using the working image I'm currently using ? Thanks !

I know, using an old Banana Pi M1 for desktop doesn't make sense at all. I would prefer having help or/and advice clearing the problems I've encountered, instead a discussion why I'm testing a desktop environment on a BPi M1. Tested with Armbian 21.08.01 Buster / 5.10.60 After the initial boot nano or / and armbian-config doesn't work. A reboot solves this issue. After the second boot I changed verbosity to 7 and console to serial. All other changes where made throu armbian-config. Changing Pi's name works, but changing console's layout doesn't. Never mind, that is a minor problem, which can easily solved by hand. So I did "firmware upgrade" and rebooted m…

Hi, I'm using the Ubuntu 16.04 image for Orange Pi Zero, and the wifi interface won't seem to accept to be put into Master mode. Is this a hardware limitation? Or do I need to update kernel or driver or something else? Thanks in advance.

Hello! I have a Orange Pi Win Plus and a vga monitor with an hdmi adapter. By editing the file boot/armbianEnv.txt, I made a change in the basic resolution to fullHD and others, but I still can not get my screen resolution 1280 * 1024 I wrote differently disp_mode=1280x1024 disp_mode=576p and other Аfter another change in this value, at best the board starts with a default resolution, at worst it does not start at all. What to write? Thanks

hello everyone my Orange Pi A20 does not detect any USB device with the current versions of Stretch or Bionic, but works fine with Wheezy I had try with a printer, a scanner, or USB stick. When something is connected, nothing appears in dmesg or lsusb. Yes...yes...I've been reading the troubleshooting FAQs and Google it for an answer. Change power supply and SD card, etc. But a printer or scanner doesn't consume too much power from the USB, does it? in a last effort I went back to the old Debian Wheezy (downloaded from orangepi.org) and everything works fine. Any help with that? Could it be a kernel parameter o…

I've got a new problem with my Olimex A20 Lime2 board. The board doesn't freeze anymore (http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/295-freezing-problem-with-olimex-a20-lime-2/) but after a week I've got a very slow speed using samba: about 300 kbps. I've tried to restart the smbd service but it doesn't work. The smbd process don't use cpu: < 5 %. If I restart completely the board, samba start to works again very fast and use the cpu: > 50%. How can I discover where is the problem and how to fix it? I'm using Debian jessie 4.2.6-sunxi, and there are no more updates.

Hi, can any one help to me how i creating wireless web server with Orange Pi Lite step by step , thanks

Hi Forum, Please let me take a "low level" question about what I experienced on my CT. It should be my misunderstanding but it would be good if someone could help to clarify. On my CT udev mounts a USB device then starts a bash script in the background. This script lunches some bash threads and waits for them to complete. The threads has no common job on any file or resource. In the third level of nesting cp -r chrashes without any error message. It leaves the logging sentence in the middle, so it's really chrashes. rsync does the same but for different files. The scripts are fully functional if I start them from a root console. Even if started in the background.…

I have an orangepizero (https://www.armbian.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/orangepizero.png) I installed Armbian_5.90_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.19.57.7z on 32GB sd. The pi0 is powered via pin with a 5V/5A power supply, norflash mx25l1606e. The HDD is a new working 80gb maxtor powered by an external USB 2.0 box. I have also connected the serial and read the boot information. I used armbian-config and transferred armbian to HDD and it works, but I have to keep the miniSD plugged in. I ask you can boot from HDD and not use any SD? PS I read almost all posts here on the forum and tried the old procedures but it does not work. Spoiler =&g…

Sorry to ask that, i know there are tons of powerconsumption-discuss an optimization, and tewaking but i got lost. I just need to know how much Ampere a Nanopi NEO drains on fullload (4Cores), connnected with ethernet, no additional USB Hardware in default (no special h3consumtion). Especially boooting (i think armbian is throtteling on boot right?) is also very interessting. I need to buy a Powersupply which is sufficient for 15 NanoPi Boards in min and max consumption. Got very confused in reading the threads... But it seems 5V/2A is just a "be save in every situation" thing, and i think there is a "window" of throtttled booting and full-load 4 Core... So would…

Hi, I am developing application that will show graphics in console mode using frame buffer access in system with Orange Pi PC board. Several Debian images I tried until now from Orange Pi downloads always set up 32bpp frame buffer. Calling 'fbset -depth 16' causes screen corruption. Changing script.bin setting (fb0_format = 5) did no change. Any suggestion?

I have downloaded and installed the desktop version of armbian on my Orange PI+ 2e and I have disabled the desktop and gpu with armbian-config as i only access the device through ssh. However I can't figure out how to re enable the gui of armbian so i can use vnc to access my server

I am running the newest version of armbian (5.30) on my Orange PI One, but I run into a strange issue. Whenever I connect an usb dongle (RTL8188EU), it is recognised and works, but two NICs are shown in the network manager. Also ifconfig shows interfaces, where the lsusb shows only one device. Also strange is that one is shown as wlan1, but the other as wlx<macaddress>. Does anyone know what might be causing this issue?

OK, being away for a while and having 5.x kernel and sunxi_cedrus around I need some directions. I had some embedded 3.x desktop installations in a community museum showing videos (using mpv after a button press) which need revising. So I decided to update the firmware/scripts etc. These are Orange Pi One's... In the past I installed 3.x desktop version as it has better video acceleration. What should I do now? I don't see a focal desktop in downloads. Is it OK to use the focal server, install xfce4 on top of it? Will I have video acceleration? I've been using HEVC .mkv files...

I have tried the image for Buster from the Download page for OrangePi PC Plus, and also built new images from current Git repo. In all cases the device bootloops when it tries to start the kernel. The image from the OrangePi website works ok. This looks like a similar issue as experienced recently with CubieTruck and BananaPi A20 boards (https://armbian.atlassian.net/browse/AR-749) which was fixed with a workaround (https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/2963) Is it possibly the same / similar underlying problem?

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.

Is there any CLI image new or old that already supports PPS? I'm not having progress using the default overlay (pps-gpio) or a custom one.

I'm running "Armbian_5.34.171121_Orangepizeroplus2-h5_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.13.14.img" on an OrangePi Zero 2+ H5. Lots of testing was done with the OS installed on and running from the SDCard. I've solved the board's overheating problems by installing a 30 x 30 x 7 mm Heatsink, plus a 50mm USB Powered Centrifugal Blower Fan. At long last the board runs happily at temperatures typically up to about 40 degrees C at light to medium CPU loads, and at around 65 degrees C when the CPU is pushed to 100% utilisation. With this cooling solution, the board has been reliably running PiHole for about two months now. The 50mm fan and the big heat sink are not a very …

I've been using pyA20 as H3 gpio library in Orangepi. Recently we've moved to nanoPi M1 . But the problem is H3 on nanoPi has more gpio pins than orangePi and A20 gpio library does not recognize these pins. Is there any H3 gpio library like pyA20 available ? (Please note WiringOPI is for C not python) Thanks.

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.

Hello Guys, The main reason I bought my orange pi One is to create custom softwares on it(mostly on Linux distro). I checked google and can't really decide which is the best programming language, which have a nice IDE, able to handle GPIO-s and other periferials like SPI, COM...etc, able to create a fair looking UI. Can someone suggest me some ideas? Programming language does not really matter. Any ideas are welcome Regards, G.

Hi guys, I just started using the new Armbian release on my cubietruck and Banana Pi boards and encountered the following problem.

However the wired interface is now receiving the same IP address like the wireless one. Currently the only way to resolve this issue is by going again through armbian config tool. I am also experiencing the symptoms on my banana pi board except that it does not have any wireless interface. Which th…

Hi everyone, I am trying to setup a new armbian buster system on a lime2 eMMC board. Not currently using the eMMC. Wanted to have a regular armbian install on the sd card, and then an encrypted root partition on an SSD attached with SATA. I've done this before by loosely following this post If I setup a system without using dropbear to unlock the root partition and boot, and use a keyboard to enter the password to unlock it instead, that works fine. However, if I install the `dropbear-initramfs` package, copy my ssh keys to /etc/dropbear-initramfs/authorized_keys and then do `update-initramfs -u` the bootloader doesn't seem to get past the initial stages.

Hello. I updated my system to 5.25 version, and ralink usb wifi stopped working. As i can see, there is no drivers (mt7601Usta), but drivers exists at system. I tried to download drivers and complied it, but it didn't help me. Does anybody use wifi ralink dongles on orange pi zero 5.25 (3.4.113 debian) ?

I have an Orange Pi PC Plus and I'm looking for a USB video grabber. Could you suggest me some models which are easy to setup and work with OPi reliably?

I'm having trouble installing asterisk in this version , in versions 4.4 and 4.5 of ARMBIAN Debian 4.4.3 Jessie worked perfectly!

I'm trying the Orange Pi PC for a smal project but while installing th OpiPC corrupts its SD Card. Typical error occurence: - Install Debian Jessy server on 16GB SD Card (ScanDisk Ultra class 10). - run first bootup. - update und upgrade software, install nfs-common and rrdtool. - setup keyboard, console-setup, tzdata, locales, static ip. - edit /etc/fstab, mount nfs-volume. - copy project software (mostly bash scripts, reading cpu temp and switching GPIO-Pin). - seting up a cron job. on one of the next shutdown/reboot the console shows mmc errors while reading and writing (see log file). - the Sd card can not be started any more, all attempts fail with mm…

Hi All, I use ARMBIAN 5.25 stable Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS 3.4.113-sun8i on Nano Pi Neo Air and I try : dpkg-reconfigure lirc I select my remote and then my transmitter nicely After configure, I have this error: ls: cannot access '/lib/modules/3.4.113-sun8i/kernel/drivers/staging/media/lirc': No such file or directory I tried : apt-get install lirc-modules-source But It has no installation candidate... Do someone know how can I do ? Best Regards

Hi, so without knowing what the swappiness actually is I changed the value from 100 to 512. Since then, I can't boot my Banana Pi M2 Zero. Shortly after that, I remembered again: swappiness is the percentage of how often to use swap and not the maximum amount of storage. Can I repair it inside uboot? Can I plug the sd card into my PC and edit the files there? Here is the log from the serial console. It's stuck forever after the last line. ..............................................................

I'm having trouble getting the RaZberry zwave extension board working in Armbian 5.31 with the mainline kernel. Previously on Bananian I just symlinked ttyS2 to ttyUSB99 and I was able to use the RaZberry with OpenZwave. But now, I have no idea how to get it working. I guess it has got something to do with overlays for the kernel but I haven't been able to find out exactly sifting thru the internet... Help very much appreciated.

Hi there, i need some help with using the UART1 pins 8 & 9. I own a Duo with Ubuntu 16.04.6 I've installed a software that is able to send codes over the UART1 pins to my smart home system. The software is 'active (running)' but has no connection via UART1. UART1 is enabled(npi-config) but i does not work. WiringNP is required for my software and installed. Is there any point i've missed? Did i have to switch UART1 pins to in- and output? One error i get: Service Control Manager on computer xx.x.x.xx cannot be opened. You may not have permission to do this. PS: These pins must work, i rebuild an…

Hello, a few months ago I wrote a tutorial to enable the 7" touch display for Banan Pi and Banana Pi Pro. Unfortunately the files (*.dts e.g. sun7i-a20-bananapro.dts) have changed and I don't know how to integrate the patches in the current armbian version. Does anybody know how to do it? Is there already a overlay to enable it? Thanks. Steffen

I have tried to setup user quotas on my Orange PI PC2 and realized that there is no quota module in kernel at all. Switching between all kernel versions with armbian-config utility and all the same - they don't have quota module. Why there is no such necessary module?

Hi, I have recently installed latest (20) Armbian Desktop for OPi PC(+), have problems installing software from network repo (synaptic). 1). Small version problem with one of Qt5 libraries (dependency for Kadu - Polish communicator GG client), synaptic wants version 1u1, on the net there is version 1u3. Installed using wget + dpkg, now Kadu starts (at least) OK. 2). PostgreSQL problem: there is version 11 of PgSQL provided, OK, it's current production. BUT there is PgAdmin3(!) in repo, which works with at most version 9.6 of PgSQL (from PgAdmin site). Now there is PgAdmin4, but (I) cannot make it work (compile from source OK, but doesn't start)., there is N…

Dear Armbian Zen Masters, Please, help me turn on bluetooth on my Orange Pi Zero Plus 2 H5 board (running armbian focal server). This board is up to date (apt update and upgrade). I've enabled bluetooth support from armbian-config on this board. But, bluetoothctl is not working (gets stuck in waiting for response on command execution). Wifi is working fine on this board. (I could easily use bluetoothctl on my khadas vim3 pro board with "current armbian xfce desktop" on it) Waiting for your response. (Please, find the relevant board info below.) Thanks in advance, Spherulite. -------------------------------------------…

Hello. I am new to Armbian. My Banana PI M2 (already a disappointment, bad purchase on my part) is up and running but will not reboot all the way. It shuts down but does not restart again. Any ideas how to go about troubleshooting and fixing this? It is a deal breaker for what I planned to be a headless system. It needs to be restartable without physically pulling the plug to do so.

I am experiencing serious problems with booting Armbian on OrangePi Lite. I flashed SD card with a fresh image of Armbian_5.20_Orangepilite_Debian_jessie_3.4.112_desktop.img At the first boot it always freezes right after this line: Started WPA supplicant. It stays there forever and I have no choice but power off the system. At each subsequent boot the system freezes very frequently but at different lines so again I need to reset it. However sometimes it succeeds at the second boot and I am able to login as root and then create new user and enter the desktop after that. I was very happy that it finally started and everything was working fine (inc…

Hi, just a question to be discussed: Would it... 1. ...be possible to use F2FS as default filesystem for images using the vanilla kernel? 2. ...make sense to use it? benchmarks show that write operations could get a huge boost in comparison to ext4. i believe write operations are quite slow right now (using cubietruck with sd-card) What do you think?

Like I install some desktop environment and in its screen properties rotation is grayed out! Any instructions please how to make HDMI screen rotation working with latest Igor's Olimex Lime 2 images? Preferrably for 4.x kernel since I believe it is more free software without proprietary blobs and plain software simplefb graphics handling. If I only could rotate it! Any help? …

Hello! Since I upgraded to 5.35 on my OPI PC Plus the connected TV-Screen (direct via HDMI Cable) ist purple. An upgrade zu 5.36 has the same problem.

It would be nice if there has anyone a solution for this.. thanks SOLUTION: I downloaded a new version of 5.35 and upgraded to 5.36 Then I copied the files in /boot of the SD-Card (New One) to the /boot of the OLD system on EMMC - and it works

Hi, I can boot off an SD card, but my Teres boots off internal storage to a black screen and I'm trying to figure out why. It seems even when I set verbose=7 in /boot/armbianEnv.txt, there is little to no kernel diagnostic output, even on a working SD card. I read on the debian wiki that u-boot-menu works on the Teres, but I tried installing this on an SD card and it prevents the SD card from booting (similarly to my internal storage booting issue). I've actually compared the contents of the unallocated space in front of the filesystem between the working sdcard and the internal storage, and they differ only in the partition table. Additionally …

Hello everyone, Looks like i have some issue after last upgrade. I'm using a Banana Pi Pro as a file server at home (with samba mainly).

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.

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…

Hi, I'm using a xenial system with Kernel 4.9.11-sunxi on LIME2 (actually it's an Olimex A20-SOM with external RTL8211 PHY) and trying to prevent the ethernet from coming up on boot. When turning the system on, the ethernet interface will assign a random MAC address; later on my script sets a proper MAC from an assigned range. Until then the eth0 interface must stay down to prevent the network from being spammed with bogous messages. This is because the ethernet interface chooses a random MAC address when the system boots up; later on a script sets the proper MAC address from an assigned range (along with IP and route configuration); The link must stay down un…

Currently I receive rustc crashes after memory usage get to 3GB (1GB RAM + 2GB SWAP) when building firefox. After looking around why, I found that kernel isn't build with lpae extension. Although H3 soc supports lpae (Large Physical Address Extension), but kernel has CONFIG_ARM_LPAE flag not set and so we can't use more than 3GB of memory (1GB is reserved for kernel). (Processors that implement the ARMv7-A Large Physical Address Extension (LPAE), expand the range of accessible physical addresses from 4GB (232 bytes) to 1024GB (240 bytes) a terabyte, by translating 32-bit virtual memory addresses into 40-bit physical memory addresses.)
