Allwinner sunxi

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 :)

I am trying to switch legacy kernel to "next". I did it successfully with armbian-config for OrangePiPC (obviously Armbian was installed on SD card). Once I attempted to do the same with Orange Pi Plus and system installed onto internal EMMC then after reboot... nothing. I am wondering also if the issue is related to platform or the fact that Armbian was installed on EMMC. I have connected TTL2USB and following is the result (seems to be indefinite loop): U-Boot SPL 2017.11-armbian (Jan 25 2018 - 07:58:02) DRAM: 2048 MiB Trying to boot from MMC2 U-Boot 2017.11-armbian (Jan 25 2018 - 07:58:02 +0100) Allwinner Technology CPU: Allwinner H3 (SUN8I …

I just received 3 of the Zero Plus boards and am trying to verify they at least basically work. I'm new to Armbian & Orange Pi but have been using Raspbian & Raspberry Pi's for years. I've downloaded Armbian for the OP Zero (Armbian_5.38_Orangepizero_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.14.img), verified the gpg signature and the sha256 checksum and used Etcher v. 1.4.4 on a 2017 iMac, macOS Sierra, to burn SD cards. After burning, macOS claims "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." Maybe that's normal for Armbian? diskutil list shows: /dev/disk8 (external, physical): #: TYPE NAME SIZE …

Hi, my old 1366x768 VGA LCD monitor was working with legacy kernel but after I downloaded and installed image with new kernel ( Ubuntu_xenial_next.7z) I could not get it to work with VGA output. When I set armbianEnv.txt with below, it still outputs to HDMI disp_mode=1366x768p60 video_mode=sunxi:1366x768-24@60,monitor=vga,hdp=0,edid=1 then I tried to add this with no luck. Both monitors go blank with it. extraagrs=disp.screen0_output_type=4 Is VGA supported with new kernel? If so, how ?

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…

Hi, Before I start, I want to thank the developers for making great products. I am fairly new to SBCs, but unlike the official images, Armbian works great on my OP plus 2E. I have recently bough a OP zero+ H5, but as it lacks ethernet, I can't set it up. Is there a way (like raspbian) to set up wifi on the sd card after i burn the image on to it?

Hello, There are two physical USB port on the pi zero+ board : one is USB 2.0 host and the the second one is USB 2.0 OTG through a micro USB connector. As I power the card through the expansion pin I would like to turn the micro USB to a regular mode to connect a DVB dongle. With Armbian 5.38 and Kernel 4.14.14 (and also nightly build) I've done the following modification - in armbian-config enable usbhost0 - modify the /boot/dtb/allwiner/sun50i-h5-orangepi-zero-plus.dtb => decompile the file with dtc => edit the dts file and change the line dr_mode = "peripheral" to "host" => recompile the file and reb…

For a new project with multiple socs, I want to use the NanoPi Neo 2 with the Allwinner H5 soc and boot from DHCP / NFS. I've done the same in the past for a setup with Raspberry Pi's, but the Allwinner socs require a different approach. What would be the best way to achive this? - FEL? - SD or USB with U-Boot? - any other suggestions?

Hi Guys, Sorry if this question has been tabled before, but i couldn't see it amongst the H5 topics. I just bought two O-pi-zero+ and downloaded the two mainline releases from https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero-plus: Armbian_5.38_Orangepizeroplus_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.14.14.img and Armbian_5.38_Orangepizeroplus_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.14.img both seem to work just fine until i try to disable any of the CPUs, for example: "echo 0 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online". i'm logged on using ssh and after this i get no response. this happens on both xenial and stretch, and on both boards. i haven't tried connecting to the uart yet, but i just wo…

The rtl8189etv wifi module on the orange pi r1 is not integrated into the main PCB. From photos on the web there seem to be such wifi modules with little pins which maybe can just be plugged in like some kind of hat but there are also versions without pins. Does anyone know if the wifi module on the opi r1 can be just unplugged or do the pins need to be cut or desoldered? Are there any issues to expect when removing the module. Wifi won't work obviously, but anything beyond that ?

Dear all, I discovered that the leds section is missing in the devicetree of orangepizeroplus2 H5 (at least upto kernel 4.14.39), and had to write an overlay to get them to work.

Hello everyone, I was running Armbian Xenial (mainline 4.11.8 kernel) on Win Plus and it was working pretty good (after a little fix). But after some bad configurations (the system was still working..), I decided to re-install the whole system. The thing is that there are no more mainline builds for this board on the download page and 3.10 kernel is too old (I need at least 4.9)... So I decided to build the system but I have some issues that makes the board pretty useless. The first is that there is no more Ethernet, no blinking light on the board neither on the switch... The second are the USB port : The two USB ports on the right of th…

Hello, everyone. I searched long time to run cocos2d on Armbian_5.38_Orangepizeroplus2-h3_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop. Now it run but very slow because device is orange pi zero plus 2 (mini com like arm). when build project, it automatically works for desktop with opengl. We already compile & run new cocos2d-x-3.15.1 cpp project on Armbian. FPS is 30. If we make this project work on opengles, fps will rise. Have you got issue? I guess if i change this to opengl es then speed will be ok. Because on Android on same device, apk's fps is 60. Please help me.

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?

Hi i did some comparison of NanoPi NEO Kernel 3.4 (Jessie) and kernel 4.4 (Stretch). - Looks like the temperature limit controlling of 4.4 is not working as good as 3.4 (on 4.4 Kernel the CPU reaches more than 85 °C!) - GPIO (wiringPi) has less performance (-4%) - SPI has better performance (10%) - CPU performance is ~6% better (nbench, maybe the newer compiler) - consumption is besser on Kernel 3.4, especially on halt state I did a fork for wiringpi Library to make it work on Armbian Jessie and Stretch https://github.com/mstroh76/WiringNP (so far only for NEO)

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!

Hello, I'm having problems with USB sound card - speaker - card reader combo, named CD002 (hardware ID e2b0:0811). I managed to make it work with clean Armbian 5.38 image (kernel 4.14.14) by installing pulseaudio, but it sounds like crap using both mplayer and aplay; mplayer reports "audio device stuck" sometimes. The card is definitely OK, on RPi3 running DietPI it worked immediately and sounds fine. How do I set it up correctly so that it sound fine on OrangePi Zero & Armbian?

Hello, My BananaPi board doesn't boot after apt update & apt upgrade. I didn't have any problems until now. At first I suspected it could be the SD card as it seemed to me the "server" was slower on authentication but the SD card looks ok. There were some errors when reading it via gdisk but f3 didn't find any problems. So I copied the newest downloadable image onto it. It worked again until the upgrade. What can I do to restore the functionality? Is there any known problem with last upgrade?I update the system quite usually so the change that could be responsible for this shouldn't be more than a month old. I even tried to use the direct attach…

Hi, I have a problem to comunicate with sim800l via UART3 or any other UART. Is there way to activate UART3 on Linux PiOne 4.14.18-sunxi kernel if it is not already activated. I could find DTB files but I do not know how to view them or transfer to DTS and read/modify them to se if there could be a problem. I'm using pins 8 and 10 for UART3 on 40Pin header and try to comunicate with putty and screen over /dev/ttyS3 but no luck. Any idea what is going on? Sim800L works fine over pl2303.

I must have missed the discussion about not having a desktop version for this board. Does anybody know why this option is not available? Now that I finally have the Bluetooth working, I can use it as a proper desktop. I have "simulated" a desktop build by following the Armbian build script... installing all the packages for xfce4, but it lacks some functionality (namely the notification icons). It would be really nice to have a proper Armbian desktop on this board. Thanks.

Hi there, tomorrow I should obtain my OPi Zero Plus2. I see it does not have USB port (just GPIO for USB, so I could solder USB port for it with GPIO, no problem). Then, I will need to install my own raspbian.img on eMMC (I am using read only system). Till now I installed it on many SD cards to another Opi Zero's and used it so (because of lack eMMC). But how to install it on Opi Zero Plus2? Do I need to install it on SD card first and then go with nand-sata-install?

My Orange Pi PC running Armbian gets disconnected from both SSH and VNC after maybe 20 minutes or so out of nowhere, no matter if idle or doing anything. I can't connect back until I restart the entire SBC by keyboard. The pi is useless to me if I can't run it "headless". I'm wondering if it's a MAC problem. I have a pfSense router I built myself and have had different subnet addresses. I've made sure the MAC address isn't repeated on another subnet address, though. I know the Raspberry Pi has a way to change it, but does the OPi PC as well? The MAC "problem" is just a guess, though. I really don't know what's with the disconnection issues. I'm no …

Hey guys, I've spent the last couple of weeks trying to get a TFT display with touch screen to work on my Orange Pi PC board, and I've decided to share my step-by-step solution here. This tutorial is heavily based on Guide: How to use Touchscreen + LCD on H3 devices by Kutysam, but I had to do some extra steps for it to work properly. This tutorial is only for Mainline kernel, I was able to get the graphical screen working with Kutysam's guide for Legacy, but couldn't make the touch work. First of all this is the display I'm using: LCD module Pi TFT 3.5 inch (320*480) Touchscreen Display Module TFT for Raspberry Pi 3. I believe it is a clone of this Waveshare…

Hello friends, I found these cameras for Orange Pi: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orange-Pi-Open-source-IP-Camera-with-wide-angle-lens-Smart-Home-Control-Device-for-PC/32652476606.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2MP-Camera-module-for-Orange-Pi-PC-Zero-One-PC-Plus-Plus2-Plus2e-Zero-Plus-2/32833966539.html Can it work directly with Orange Pi Zero Plus2-h3? Or is there any difference with h5? Do you know how many fps with which resolution does this camera have? Thanks.

I got the mali stuff working on my H3 on my orange pi one to great success for use with the HTC Vive, but I'm trying to get it working on my H5 on my Orange Pi Zero Plus 2. I can't seem to get any work done as far as installing the mali modules/etc since I can't find the mali node in any of the dtb's. Also, because I am trying to use the normal armbian system, instead of installing my own sunxi-next kernel. I've switched to nightly, but can't figure out how to edit my own changes to the dts's that are built to add add the extra mali node (not that I have any idea where the mali450 is on the H5!). Any help would be greatly appreciated. …

Hi, Good people of Armbian-land! First of all, thank you all for the awesome work you've been putting into Armbian. I recently purchased an Orange Pi PC, for which I'd like to use the Ubuntu desktop image, since I need the HW acceleration features. I tried using Mainline briefly but after confirming that the performance is just not there without the Mali drivers (as suggested by the description, so no surprise there), it seems Legacy is my only viable option. Which would be fine, but the monitor I'd like to use with my setup doesn't work with legacy (it works fine in Mainline). Also a sidenote: I connected the monitor using an HDMI-VGA converter. I set th…

Hello all, The board has a 2MB NOR FLASH chip what would be enough for storing u-boot and booting the system over network. Unfortunately u-boot says there is no ethernet. Is there anybody who knows how to enable ethernet on this or similar board like OPi PC2 or Nanopi NEO2? Is it just a matter of configuration or is RTL8211E as PHY generally not supported on H5 chips? Thank you very much for your help. --DieHackbeere

I've a problem with latest Armbian Debian Server stretch (ARMBIAN 5.38 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.14.18-sunxi, Uboot loader 2017.11) on OrangePI One, and OrangePI PC. It boots seemingly OK, but without any output to 1080P HDMI monitor. So I've no video. But Ubuntu Desktop with Legacy kernel boots fine using the same SDCard (and same power supply ). I can SSH to the Debian after boot, here's the boot and diag log. Couldn't wait for senseless SDCard testing to finish, as it works perfect with Armbian Ubuntu Desktop version. Legacy version on 1st boot shown boot progress and defaulted to 720P resolution, which I changed later to 1080P. But Debian Server doesn't sh…

Hi there, I want to build my product on Orange Pi Zero Plus2. I want to put it to enclosure and leave just power connector accessible. But I found this scenario - if user makes mistake in his wifi settings and then he saves these "faulty wifi settings", he will not be able to recover default wifi values anymore. How would you solve this? (the best approach without any additional buttons for gpio pins or additional elements)

Hi All, I have some freeze behaviour when trying to update nano pi neo 256M.

[BANANA PI PRO - SO running on SD] So, on every system upgrade I do, I end up with something broken. Normally it won't boot because of some kernel misconfiguration or due the encrypted HDD that I use connected to it. On the last upgrade the same occurred. However, normally, I can solve stuff by myself. This time I couldn't fix everything (yet). I think that the only solution would be me compiling the kernel myself. First the system wouldn't boot. After a few kernel replacements, I could make it boot, kind of. If I have my encrypted LUKS HDD connected to it, it will boot to some degree and hang in there forever. If I take it …

I was able to upgrade Armbian to 18.04 bionic beaver on my Banana Pi M1, and it's working (almost) fine!

Hello everybody! I would like to make a home media server with my HDD connected to Banana Pi (on SATA). I want to run Torrent client with WebUI, dlna and VPN server thereon. I`m stucked with fstab file configuration. First I tried to format my HDD`s partition to NTFS, every permission was good, but Transmission download, and FSTP file download was incredibly slow (4MB/s, but I have gigabit internet connection). The fstab configuration was this: UUID=<the uuid of the ntfs partition> /mnt/DataHDD ntfs defaults,auto,umask=000,users,rw 0 0 I`ve readed that, ext4 filesystem can be faster, so I decided to format the partition to ext4. After that, I changed…

Hi there, I am new here, and new to Armbian I have a Orange Pi Plus2 and I am trying to make a project to present Spotify as an iPod over USB, so that it can be used in vehicles / docks that support iPod connectivity via USB Some of this work has already been done here on the iPod USB gadget driver side https://github.com/oandrew/ipod-gadget Using the standard premade armbian builds I cannot compile the source code as the headers are missing. Therefore I compiled Armbian from source using INSTALL-HEADERS=yes, mainline Jessie. As there is no option for the Orange Pi Plus2 board, I used the Orange Pi plus config instead. …

Hello Everyone! Need your help to difficult task. I'm a newbie to micro-computers. Recently installed Armbian on Orange Pi PC Plus (H3), but can't connect to a TVusing HDMI-VGA adapter.

Hi, I bricked my Orange pi 2+. There is an error with the kernel, it's booting but restarting after the kernel loading phase. Unfortunately I can't see the log because of the log2ram. I need some help how can I disable the log2ram to see what is the problem. thanx Csaba

I would like to test or reinstall my nanopi air, but I can only find download for "neo core / air" "testing version" with mainline kernel. In fact I was looking for an uptodate uboot/kernel for legacy kernel or a "usable" version with mainline - that is for me - with an asix module and working WIFI / BT.

Hi guys, I have just installed Armbian on my nanopi neo2 which works in 1-bay NAS Kit v1.2 for NanoPi NEO&NEO2 (http://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=192) I have installed Armbian from image (https://dl.armbian.com/nanopineo2/Debian_stretch_next.7z).

I can't get my Orange Pi working... After writing image to a SD card, the system boots up and the green LED lights up. Everything looks ok, until "Starting kernel..." line. After that the screen goes all black or displays artifacts. I tried different HDMI cables but still same issues. I've been trying with 5.25, 5.30, 5.35, 5.38 Ubuntu versions. I found out that the only way to get the system up and running was installing version 5.30, because the system boots with 720p mode. Other builds use 1080p mode. However when I "apt upgrade" the kernel, system boots with 1080p and the issue shows up again. Is there a way to "force" Armbian to use 720p mode by default?

Sometimes it's unclear if my Nanopi NEO2 is still running, or fully locked up / FUBAR. Ping and SSH give no result. As there is no HDMI, I have no way to check if it's still there. So I was thinking: can I let the green LED flash each x seconds as a sign of life? Quote from Igor: "Both are accessible via sysfs, green is configurable while blue is not lit and reacting to anything. ". So a crontab script that writes something to /sys/ <LED> ... ? Feedback appreciated.

I just installed a fresh armbian 5.38 (mainline kernel) image to an SD Card for my A20-OLinuXino-MICRO board. After booting I used armbian-config to enable the spi-spidev. I then edited the armbianEnv.txt directly to add param_spidev_spi_bus=0. This gives me a single spidev0.0 under dev. Changing the parameter to param_spidev_spi_bus=2 (or 1) I can get the other busses. But only a single bus at a time. I spent I few hours googling, but I cannot seem to find any documentation on how to enable more than one userspace spi dev. Could someone explain to me how to enable all spi devices at once? Writing a custom overlays myself is a little beyond me at t…

Greetings all. I've bought an Orange Pi PC recently, along with this screen, and I wanted to make the touch screen work on it. I have tried following this tutorial and this one, but so far I was only able to get the screen working. Currently installed image is: Armbian_5.35_Orangepipc_Debian_jessie_default_3.4.113. When I run `evtest` the only devices detected are `vmouse`, `sunxi-gpiokey` and `sunxi-ths`. I tried installing a GUI with xorg, lightdm and xfce. To show the GUI on the display I am using the following command: FRAMEBUFFER=/dev/fb8 startx But touch still isn't working. This is the output of armb…

Hi Im seeking for a kernel that i can trust it does not hang. Using the old 3.4 kernel on bananian I could get my banana pi m1 more than 6 months without hangs and reboot.

This seems like a really simple problem, but I can't find any pointers on any forums. I am running a NanoPiNEO2 (Allwinner H5) using the latest Armbian build DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS" I am trying all ways to save power. For most of the time, I do not need to use the Ethernet interface (I am using the USB interfaces for comms). I have tried all the obvious commands such as ifdown, and explored ethtool, but nothing I do makes any difference to the current consumption of the device. I expect i am missing something obvious - any help gratefully accepted.

After along time I downloaded a new armbian image, after doing apt update/upgrade for the last year or so. I was quite surprised to see that the pcduino3nano is now deprecated, while other A20 boards are still supported. What was the exact reason that the pcduino3nano was dropped from support? If I keep using the deprecated OS, can I fully use apt update/upgrade for all user stuff? What would happen to all kernel and u-boot update packages? Is the latest armbian for the pcduino3nano automatically disabling those updates, or do I need to do something manually? *should* I block kernel & u-boot updates? thanks, Udi

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. I came accross a new Python Library : "pyA64" but its not working. Also, the library "OPi.GPIO" doesn't supports my Board. I also tried this : https://github.com/lanefu/WiringPi-Python-OP but that's makes my "gpio" com…

Hi guys, I've been busting my head for days now trying to find a way how to permanently change MAC address on my ehternet on Opi Win Plus boards but nothing yielded positive outcome. The reason I need to permanently change MAC address is because I'll be running 6 of these boards on the same network and since all of them have identical MAC it's impossible for my router to manage them properly. I'm running Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.10.107_server with legacy kernel. I've tried changing the /etc/network/interfaces file by adding hwaddress ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx , changing from static to dhcp and doing all sorts of combinations in hopes that so…

Old post below, here is what I found out thanks to some help from linux-sunxi IRC, I think this is a bug in the ondemand governor When using ASIX AX88772B USB to ethernet adapter and the cpu-governor is on ondemand, transfer speed is very slow. If governor is set to conservative or performance (yes that's right) speed is ok, 50 Mbit at least. So the problem has nothing to do with cpu speed as such (it's working @ steady 480Mhz and @ steady 1200Mhz) for now I'll stick with conservative as I don't want my board to burn up, but It would be nice if someone could take a look at that ondemand governor.

Hello, I am using the Armbian_5.38_Orangepizero_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.14 image on an OPi zero (H2+ chip). I tried to get "some sound" out of the LINEOUTL and right pins at the expansion port. However, alsa executables like aplay report that there is no sound card. (see below) I testet also with a non-root user (which is in the audio group).

Installed Armbian_5.38_Orangepiplus_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop. After a while, namely the clock after 5 work OrangePi Plus 2 disappears from the internal network. Do not pass the ping, connection to the SSH. But you can connect from the outside through the routed ports of the router to the SSH. Pings from it pass only to the router (192.168.0.1). Prior to other devices in the local network, pings also do not reach. This is when the internal network disappeared. Before its disappearance with pings and connections on the SSH, there are no problems. What could be the problem? armbianmonitor -u - http://ix.io/17Ni

Hi, Please see my comments in the other thread: Essentially when booting a Neo Core using the current air/core mainline image, the onboard fast ethernet is not being initialised. At a guess its because this is not included in the device tree (dtb/dts) for the nano pi air image or in uBoot config - however, if the image is to serve both boards it almost needs to - or they need to be separated. Both are probably reasonable options. Right now i'm trying to understand where the board defs for ethernet are collected during the image build using the armbian build environment and try and get a functional image with fast ethernet for the core…

It seems like all the OS available for the A64 (for me specifically the orangepi winplus) are using the 3.10 kernel that has reached the EOL. I have been advised against using this kernel but I don't see any other options. I did find and armbian for the winplus that used 4.11 but it crumbled after upgrade every time. Does anyone have any advice for me? Thanks

Hi everyone, I have an armbian 5.38 headless system on an orange pi zero2plus board.

Hi, I'm using NetBIOS names when using ssh to access other CTs on my local network. Most of the CTs and other hosts are running Wheezy. Now I have a CT running Stretch and it's very difficult to access this host using 'ssh <stretch host name>' because it's not responding to the broadcas from the calling host. If I repeat the request (and broadcast for the name) multiple times then sooner or later the Stretch CT will respond in time. The timeout on the host doing the broadcast seems very short. Does anybody know where this timeout is specified and how to change it ? Thanks, Steven
