Hi. I have an issue configuring the board: no hugepage configured. I installed the command line Ubuntu. No I am in command line via SSH. Everything is ok. With a NanoPi Fire3, OrangePi Pc2 and an OrangePi Zero H5 I had not this issue. The folder /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages does not exist; the folder /proc/sys/vm has not the value or file that tells how mutch is the hugepages amount.

Hi I only have an old monitor, and I thus need to use a HDMI-to-VGA-converter to work with my Orange Pi PC Plus. When powering the Orange Pi on, the green LED on the board is constantly ligthened. On the monitor, I get a black screen, after 4 s (or so) a totally red screen. No text. No graphics. Then after about 15 s, on the board the red LED starts to double blink. The red screen remains for ever. I have tested the Raspbian and Debian images available on http://www.orangepi.org/downloadresources/. They work fine with the converter. Alas, the preferred OS, "Orange OS" armbian, seems not to work. Board: Orange Pi …

I have encoutered some difficulties on carrier detection with network-manager on ethernet port, on lime2, on default kernel, 5.38. On mii-tools and ethtools, carrier is correctly reported.

Please help, what I am missing? With legacy kernel installed acpid and pressing power button on OpiOne gives me events (monitoring with acpi_listen). Same thing not working with next kernel 4.14.18. Do anybody have solution?

Good day, everyone! On the manufacturer's website Allwinner H5, it says: 2 Display device, dual display (same or different content) HDMI & CVBS. Can anybody tell me how to do this? I'm willing to pay for the development of drivers and / or firmware to be able to work on an Orange Pi Zero Plus 2 H5 device with two displays (1- HDMI, 2-TVout) - at the same time. With suggestions, please contact me at tigroidit@gmail.com

I use two Orange pi PC for music studio use with Jack, Ardour and several midi software to use with midi surface controls and keyboards. Everything works great with an external USB DAC but when I try to use the on board DAC through the HDMI output the sound comes out slowed down to maybe a third of the speed making everything sound like it's in slow motion. Any help to fix this would really be appreciated.

Hi, I am using the Ubuntu desktop image found here https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-prime/ I am able to start the board, it lights up and connects to the network via ethernet -- I see it come up in my DHCP table and am then able to connect via SSH Docs say to use root:1234 for login, but I get Access denied. I found another forum post that says root is disabled via SSH by default. When I try to connect locally, I get no video from HDMI so I don't know what it's loading up to. I had hoped to be able to configure via SSH but can't get in. Any ideas on how I can proceed? Thank you!

I’m running ARMBIAN 5.38 stable on a Banana Pro and having the board go unresponsive regularly – meaning I can't login via SSH (getting a "port 22: Host is down" error) and applications stop running. I’ve used the Banana Pro board with an external 4TB harddrive via eSATA as a media/backup server with a similar software set up for several years (running regular updates). Occasionally it would go non-responsive, but I’d generally be able to run it for weeks without a restart. The need for a restart became more frequent until now it won't run for more than 12 hours without trying to log in via ssh and seeing “port 22: Host is down” and the programs like plex and …

I am using orange pi + 2e, the distribution version of ubuntu I am currently using. How do I start my device under 2 seconds, is there a suitable linux distribution? On the device I only use the python programming language, and some image compression and sending operations are being done.I shut down units like Wireless and Ethernet,Desktop but I did not get much acceleration. What are your suggestions? How much acceleration can I record if I start the version of the armbian mainline in ram disk?

I've just asked this question on the UNIX StackExchange - but I am hoping that the Armbian wizards may have a better idea on what is happening. The setup: - Machine 1 is an Arch Linux laptop, on which `ssh` is spawned, connecting to an Armbian-running SBC (an Orange PI Zero). - The SBC itself is connected via Ethernet to a DSL router, and has an IP of 192.168.1.150 - The laptop is connected to the router over WiFi. - There's also another laptop (Machine 2) connected via Ethernet to the DSL router. When benchmarked with `iperf3`, the link between the laptop and the SBC is less than the theoretical 56 MBits/sec - as expected, since …

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

Hi Is there any chance to force OrangePi PC to use 1920x1200 resolution? There's no such mode in h3disp. I tried to modify h3disp script but no luck. 1080p60 -d works well, but it's wrong aspect ratio. Please help.

Hello ! In my project I need use 2 spi bus : /dev/spidev1.0 and /dev/spi2.0 /dev/spidev1.0 for 3.5inch rpi display and /dev/spidev2.0 for 8x8 led matrices, such as MAX7219-8x32-MCU-Drive-LED If I am use legacy kernel (3.4.113-sun7i) both spi buses work well But if use mainline kernel (4.14.18-sunxi), I can use only 1 spi bus This is my armbianEnv.txt: overlays=spi-spidev spi1 spi2 param_spidev_spi_bus=1 In this case I can use /dev/spidev1.0 If I set param_spidev_spi_bus=2 I can use /dev/spidev2.0 How to enable 2 spi buses at the same time ?

I recently purchased a number of Orange Pi and Nano Pi boards, and discovered the awesome work of the Armbian team :-) The Orange Pi Plus2 H5 is a rather nice board - built in eMMC, H5, etc. (I wish it had 1GB of RAM but that's a different subject.) I'd love to use these boards for a number of projects. As a test, I modified the DTS for the board (mainline kernel) to enable support for the 1.1v/1.3v switch for VDD-CPUX using the SY8113B on the board. I also enabled the allowed clock changes to 1.2GHz for cpufreq. All of this worked great, but the board was very unstable at anything over 1GHz, which seemed strange, given that the CPU voltage should be swit…

I just compiled TensorFlow 1.6.0 for Orange Pi Zero 512MB and thought others might need it as well so made a github repo and released python wheel, you can get it here : https://github.com/rezaxdi/tensorflow-on-orangepi-zero it took me a lot of time to compile it so it may save your time.

Hy I'm currently trying to run a DS18B20 Temperature Sensor on the PA20 Port on my Neo Core 2. The w1_gpio und w1_therm modules are loaded but still I can't see the senors in the /sys/bus/w1/devices/ folder. (28-xxxx) Now I read in different threads to edit the FEX file in the /boot/ folder. So I would bee to first covert the script.bin to the script.fex. However I can't find any *.bin file in the /boot/ folder... So is the PA20 Port the correct 1Wire port? And how can I change this port to eg. GPIOG11 if I can't find the script.bin in the /boot/ folder? Andy

I'd like to install the latest Armbian for Orange Pi PC, but want to remove GUI / desktop packages and use CLI only. I can't find any docs on how to create a tailored distro without GUI (and associated) packages. So I guess an alternative is to install a standard legacy distro, then trim out the GUI (and likely other) packages as desired. Any suggestions or documentation? Thx.

Hi, I was using my M2 Plus yesterday getting the 3rd USB to work, everything went well with that got it working, and if I remember correctly I also ran the Update & Upgrade through the armbian-config utility before shutting everything down, today when I got back from class with a custom PCB adapter for the 3rd USB, I connect it with the USB device, I connect the power to the board and wait for the VirtualHere server to start up and show up at my computer, when I noticed it wasn't showing up I did a ip scan and couldn't see the ip, connected a screen to the HDMI and got this on the boot up, it just cycles through the same screen. When I installed the image about …

Hi, for the raspi it is possible to add a second SD Card... I was wondering whether armbian brings the necessary kernel modules (mainline) to achieve this functionality? My approach is not speed, I need tight space so a second SD without USB adaptor would be excellent...

Hi, I'm running Armbian 5.38 with kernel 3.4.113-sun8i on an Orange Pi Zero. I'm writing an audio streaming application using the portaudio library for accessing the soundcard.

Hello everybody. Faced such a problem. When connecting to the HDMI port of the monitor, no image is displayed on the monitor. More precisely, the line at boot time is visible, but the desktop is not displayed. If you connect to a TV via HDMI port, there is an image. I connect OrangePi Plus 2, via HDMI-HDMI cable. Monitor LG FLATRON 27EA33V-BB. Why is that such a problem on armbian and retroorange assemblies. But the assembly of DietPi on the monitor image displays .. The systemist under win7 also without any problems displays the image always. Tell me where to find the solution to the problem. I tried changing the modes with the 'h3disp' utility.

I under stand OPi-GPIO is a drop-in replacement library for RPi.GPIO for the Orange Pi Zero. It added a new GPIO pin definition GPIO.SUNXI. However, I cannot find its definition. Can somebody let me know or point me to a link where it is defined? Thanks.

Hey folks, I'm trying to play back a couple test files, H.264, 720p. These play without dropping frames on the stock Android ROM for a little while but then freeze, seemingly on certain keyframes? It's always in the same place. Anyway, I tried playing them with mpv on Armbian 5.38 desktop install and it drops frames like crazy. I know the stock Android ROM can play back Youtube content (in the app) without dropping frames - it seems like this should be doable based on what I understand about the capabilities of the A20 and on hardware support in the legacy kernel in the Armbian image ... is there tuning I should be doing? Or options for mpv that I can try? I've used VLC f…

Hello, I've flashed my SD card with Armbian_5.41_Orangepiwin_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.10.107_desktop and after booting the system everything works like a charm except my sound which I've tried to get through the 3.5mm jack. I've done upgrade && update but that doesn't seem to help. I've tried several headphones and speakers and none of them worked. On top of that I've tried flashing this image file on one other microSD card and I've tried running it on another Opi Win Plus board since I have several of them lying around my house. Regarding my power supply, it's 5V 3A which I've read is the appropriate one. I'm fairly ne…

I have just received an Orange Pi PC Plus, and am mostly happy with it. Linux orangepipcplus 4.14.18-sunxi is installed on a microSD card. There is a minor problem with IP addresses. When I first turned it on I forgot to plug in the network cable, so naturally ifconfig showed no IP address. I plugged in the cable, waited a minute, and tried again. Still no address. Maybe it's not hot-pluggable. Reboot, and I got an address. Since it was outside the range my server accepts I assigned a static address in the router, and rebooted the router. ifconfig still showed the first address, even though the router's client list showed the new …

Hi I would like to communicate whith an arduino(as receiver) with RF 433. On a first thought I wanted to use rc-switch lib, do you know if there is a way to use it with the PI zero(transmitter) once I have installed the wiring pi zero? if not what would be my best choice as library for OPIZ (and arduino as receiver)? As MCU are better choices to drive hardware part, would it be a good idea to interface OPIZ with a ATMEGA328 as a SPI slave which one would drive the 433 RF emitter with the rc-switch lib above? This would be the overkill situation as I'm new to SPI (and OPIZ). thx

Orange pi is only sending data with tx pin next to the ethernet port. Target is an arduino leonardo clone 5v 16mhz clocked. Maximum baud rate i could run is 115200 8bit data,no parity ,1 stop bit. Shouldnt be i able to run at higher baud rates like 1m? Libraries i am using https://github.com/wjwwood/serial http://www.fourwalledcubicle.com/files/LUFA/Doc/120219/html/group___group___serial___a_v_r8.html

Hello: I have an issue with one of my opi pc boards: When I connect it to hdmi tv and tv is not connected (switched on before booting the soc), I get just a red screen. Armbian is up and ready. I can log through ssh. Tested in Armbian_5.38_orangepipc_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop and openelec (last version). Same problem in both. I'm looking for mods in the .fex file (if there are any that applies to this case). So far I checked http://sunxi.org/Fex_Guide without luck. Time ago, I had a similar problem with an raspberry pi. In this case it was solved with a parameter in the config.txt (hdmi_force_hotplug=1). With thi…

Hello Genius , I am using Orange Pi Zero with (Armbian_5.38) to communicate with my ADC(AD7124-4) while by activating all channels(0 to 7=total 8) SPI able to display only odd channels(1,3,7) not all(evens and odds = total 8=>1,2,3,....7).when same code I run in raspberry pi without any changes it is working fine and displaying all channels(evens and odds=0 to 7=>total 8). I also tried old OS version with Armbian_5.35,Armbian_5.30 but still facing problem. Does anyone know proper solution for it?

Hello In some cases I should connect to OpenVPN server. So I have .ovpn configuration file. It's works well while I'm connecting from home PC which runs by ubuntu 16.04 and connected though cable.

Hello, When I flash the newest version of Armbian debian, and plug it into my Orange Pi Lite, nothing is displayed on my monitor, even if the led is green. My monitor is 4K LG display. With Debian, the HDMI output is not reconized. I tried with Armbian Ubuntu, and the instalation guide is displayed, but the edge and the bottom of the screen are cut. After one reboot, the screen is entirely black and I can't do nothing. Any help is welcome

Hi, I use armbian distribution on opi+2e , in order to operate the Jeedom home automation system. I occasionally encounter crashes of my opi, which becomes inaccessible in SSH. We are several users of this system to encounter the same problems. In logs, date is 1970, so we suspect a time synchronization problem. We use timedatectl for ntp synchronization, but it appears that rtc clock (fake clock) is not stable. Why? Any solution to keep rtc clock synchronous with ntp? Somes members of Jeedom community try with hardware RTC clock on I2C, and it seems working. But any existing other solutions? Thanks.

Hello, I need to use an IRQ interruption with a button. I mean, I push a button, and then a code is executed. Some information: The PIN is PH19, EINT19. and the board A20 SOM. Armbian SO, kernel 4.13 Firstly i configure the digital pin and IRQ from user space: echo 243 > /sys/class/gpio/export echo "in" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio243/direction echo "falling" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio243/edge Now, when I push the button, I can monitoring the IRQ and the counter related to cat /proc/interrupts But now, how can I run a program when the interruption event happens ? I have seen this u…

H there, I am using OPi0 TV out. I know, there are hardcoded PAL and NTSC resolutions only. But I would like to ask, if there is any tutorial how to build it up with my own lower resolution e.g. 320x240? (i know I should recompile driver for it but any help where to start is appreciated) Many thanks.

We are in the process of migrating from NanoPI NEO's to NanoPI NEO Core's as part of that we are moving to mainline NEO Air / NEO Core images. I noticed that audio playback is soft / fades in at the start of the file. This only seems to occur on mainline images. Thoughts?

I have a Adafruit PN532 connected over UART to the orange Pi Zero on UART1(p8/10) i added the uart overlays to armbianEnv.txt and edited the libnfc.conf to include device.connstring = "pn532_uart:/dev/ttyS1" #device.connstring = "pn532_uart:/dev/ttyS1:9600". I commented included a fixed lower baudrate to test if it might have been the problem. To thest the theory i connected a arduino due to the same serial port to print somting to see if there was any communication but nothing went through the python code i used was simple : import serial ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyS1') print(ser.name) ser.write(b'hello') ser.close() the Arduino sc…

Hi, I am newbie in Debian. I have an inquiry regarding this matter. I am having USB Wifi Dongle installed @ my OPi Zero H2+. It has built-in NIC (Eth0 & WLAN1) for the Debian Stretch.

Hello I have an issue with my HDMI display. Some of the desktop is out of screen. This is about 3% or 15px all around the screen. Changing resolution from 1080p down to 720p and down to 800x600 doesn't fix the borders. Armbian-config allows me to edit the booting environment. Atleast these lines won't work: disable_overscan=0 .... this can also be 1 with no effect overscan_x=-30 overscan_y=-30 .... these can also be positive with no effect also overscan_top, overscan_bottom, overscan_left and overscan_right don't work Only line that changes something is the one with resolution: disp_mode=800x600p60 I don't have zoom on this display or I have l…

PS: The system is Ubuntu server installing on EMMC. My power supplie is 5V - 2,5 A (So i think it's not a power issu).

Hi: I was using version 5.30 at orange-pi-pc and orange-pi-one. it is very stable. I saw some irq complain about 5.35, but I don't know if these issues affect H3 boards. I use the boards as headless server with openvpn and some DI/DO. is version 5.35 stable enough for the work? or I should stick with 5.30? thanks a lot for advice.

Hi, Is there any sleep or low power modes in orange pi with soft wakeup I want to wake up Orange pi zero at some specific time. For that i go through some forums and searched alot about that but could not found any way to do this. I also go through some 'rtcwake' commands but they didn't work. Any Idea regarding sleep modes and how to wake up would be great help for me. Thanks,

Hello, dear users and developers. Could you help me to enable SPI1 subsystem and use the corresponding device file /dev/spi... to test/probe SPI communications on my Orange Pi Win (Plus) machine? For the sake of that I am ready go migrate from currently good for me and quite fresh "raspbian for orange pi" where I've already implemented about 95% of required functionality. And it seems the only place where I can talk to people about SPI stuff in ready linux distributions is right here. I actually read here about some SPI issues on Orange Pi Zero but I have some troubles at getting possible packages to experiment at my current distribution and I am not skilled,at all, at …

Hello, I have just updated to the latest Debian Server image of NanoPI NEO 2. When connecting via Serial and using vim.basic/tiny I got the following strange behaviour: As soon as I enter the insert mode a newline is inserted automatically. This does not happen when connecting via SSH. So far I haven't experienced this behaviour with my previous image. Any ideas? Kind regards, Markus NB: textwidth is set to 0 (disabled).

Hi Armbian for Orange Pi Pc. how can I set the SPI mode to 3. When I try #include <linux/spi/spidev.h> //Needed for SPI port #define SPI_INTERFACE "/dev/spidev0.0" uint8_t mode, mode |= SPI_CPHA; mode |= SPI_CPOL; ioctl(file, SPI_IOC_WR_MODE, &mode) returns not allowed. Thanks Brett

Hello, I am trying to have a serial link between an arduino and a banana pi. As a basic test, the Arduino is sending "hello" every seconds. I observe that the reception by the Banana pi is not good. I have tried , several baud rates, /dev/ttyS2 and FTDi adaptor. The best result seems to be with the FTDI adapter , at 115200 bps. But I have still a lot of errors, see below. When I plug the FTDI adapter on my laptop, it works without issues. Do you know what could be the cause of my issues?

Hi! Upgrading to the mainline kernel removes /dev/snd/seq, which is needed for MIDI applications. Synthesizers are my main interest in using these boards, so that is a big loss. Since the module is enabled in the legacy kernel, perhaps this is unintentional and could be added to the mainline kernel? Thank you for all your work. Regards, brkl

I download the image of this page, unzip the image and use rufus to burn it in a Samsung SD 32 GB evo. I use power supply of 3000 mah https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero-2-h5/ It always fails, and it starts a reboot and kernel panic cycle What image i need use?

BACKGROUND: Back on June 27th, I posted my questions regarding my wish to have certain kernel features activated (or not) by default in the Armbian/Debian kernels of the time -- specifically since I wanted to activate 'PPS' features in order to build a Stratum 1 GPS/PPS timeserver: Kernel Option Requests? Here are the 'old' instructions that I used back in June: ORANGE PI PLUS H3 with GPS/PPS I ended up needing to install VirtualBox with an Ubuntu 16.04 environment, and successfully created what I needed (i.e. 3.4.113-PPS-sun8i). I was also eager to create a much newer kernel, but that failed (i.e. 4.11.5). My Orange Pi PC…

Last year I tried the 5.30 and was not happy, as the PI did not give signal to HDMI, when monitor was plugged in while booting. After booting, plug in HDMI cable, picture was on monitor. Now tried the newer Armbian_5.38 on a 2nd Orange PI PC, and I get NO picture / signal on HDMI. Nothing. Have also changed to several resolutions, but no image on monitor or beamer. I have also tried the "DVI adapter option" in the "armbian config". What is wrong with it? I have 2 PI PCs. Same problem on the other PI (now there runs a PI HOLE, as I was not able to get a picture without un-pluging the HDMI cable, so I switched over to a Banana PI M1 for…

I've just downloaded the Debian-server mainline image for my Olinuxino A20 Micro (Armbian_5.38 etc) and tried, without success, to change the video output from the default HDMI to the VGA one. Following the documentation (https://docs.armbian.com/Hardware_Allwinner/) I modified the boot.cmd file adding the lines: setenv video-mode sunxi:monitor=vga,hpd=0,edid=0 saveenv and recompiling it but the video continues to be enabled on the HDMI output, also after 2 (and more) restart. I noticed that in the boot splash screen a "Err: VGA" is reported. It's not too clear from the documentation if this setting can be applied also modifying the armbianEnv.txt …
