Hello. this is my first post. I was looking through the forum but I did not find a similar problem. About power supply - until now I did not have any problems, I use a computer power supply. After a few months of non-use of my device, I downloaded an updated, latest version (Armbian_5.38_Lime2_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop) to an old, previously functioning card. When I connected the device, it did not turn on. I tried to turn it on manually, but nothing happened except the short flash on the connected mouse. A while ago, I uploaded an older desktop version to NAND. I used the sd card to start up. Is it possible that this older version loaded on NAND c…

Hi, is it possible to have the serial/UART on the Olimex LIME2 to work as a serial console on Armbian Jessie (kernel version 4.5.2)? The UART is already working during early boot, but once kernel is loaded it becomes inactive. /boot/boot.cmd contains: setenv bootargs "console=tty1 root=/dev/sda1 rootwait rootfstype=ext4 sunxi_ve_mem_reserve=0 sunxi_g2d_mem_reserve=0 sunxi_no_mali_mem_reserve sunxi_fb_mem_reserve=16 hdmi.audio=EDID:0 disp.screen0_output_mode=1920x1080p60 panic=10 consoleblank=0 enforcing=0 loglevel=1" Thanks

Hi, I'm wondering if I can use your images for running an audio streamer, outputing digital audio via USB Audio Class 2 (for connection to an external DAC). at : http://www.igorpecovnik.com/2014/11/18/olimex-lime-debian-sd-image/ you mention that it does not have audio driver : does this mean that even USB audio cannot be achieved ? If not, any hints on why this is not supported ? Thanks!

have there been more changes for Desktop recently except the repos? Yesterday I have updated and tried to compile, noticed that the function "fetch_from_github" was gone (replaced by "fetch_from_repo"?). After I changed my script accordingly I was able to compile, but the desktop doesn't come up any more. It looks like "fbturbo" module is completely missing? I don't see any reference to this in the logs; where should it be so I can try to debug?

Hello, I'm testing the latest (kernel 4.5) jessie server vanilla on a Olimex Lime2. If a battery is connected to the board and the power plugged in, the board start by itself ! I would like to change this behavior, is there any file to tweak ? Thanks

Hi all, some days ago I successfully built the image mentioned above (Build environment is Ubuntu 14.04/64 bit). The only remarkable issue was the ever-repeating "firstrun" script, which was easily solved with the method mentioned here: http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/1100-post-install-scripts-on-every-reboot/#entry8509 (may be ALL of the scripts should be changed this way?) But today, after checking out the actual "master", I see a lot of failed copy and sed commands until the debootstrap-ng script finally fails at Mali-libdri2. The 1st occurrence of an error was during installation of "ramlog". I've inserted a breakpoint and looked into the imag…

Hey all, I'm using U-boot 2017-09 and Kernel 4.13. I'm looking for a way to disable the board auto start. I'm explaining. When you plug the power in, the board start by itself and U-boot does the rest. I would like to disable this feature in order to be able to plug in the power, charge the battery if needed and start the board with the regular push button. Is there any tweak to be done in the Device Tree ? Thanks Florian

Hello, I'm using the last Kernel (4.13.3) and U-boot (2017-09). I noticed that the device does not reboot each time we ask for it. It sometime get stuck and I have to start it manually, this is really annoying for my needs. I figure it out that the Device Tree from 4.13.3 introduce some improvement on AXP209 and power management. I tried Device Tree file from 4.11.x and everything seems fine. Does any body noticed it ? Thanks

Hi everybody, At first I would like to thank you all cause of all your comments in previous posts that helped to make my Lime2 working great. But since the 5.35 upgrade it doesn't want to start anymore. I was on a A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 without eMMC and the Armbian_5.31_Lime2_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop image which I upgraded to the 5.35. On the 5.31 I modified before the update the /boot/bin/lime2.bin file into a lime2lcd10.bin file in order to make the lime2 work with the LCD-OLinuXino-10TS of Olimex. After the update, I needed to make the link again with the /boot/script.bin file. But even with a new Armbian image freshly downlo…

Hi guys! I've an Olimex LIME2 EMMC installed in a remote location: I installed it with Olimex provided image of debian Jessie, which has kernel 3.4.103-00033-g9a1cd03-dirty. The installation has been done over internal EMMC and it worked. Now, for various reason I would like to switch to armbian. I would like to install armbian over the existing image. so not to have to reinstall packages ad my local software. I would like to keep the installation on internal 4GB EMMC memory. I'm asking if it's possibile to do it without having to reinstall and possibily over ssh, because the board is in remote location. Thanks for your sug…

I was wondering if there is a significant performance difference with the lime2 when a heatsink is added? I plan on ordering a couple of heatsinks from ebay to try myself however I'm wondering if anyone from the community has any feedback. Thanks

Hi ! Ref : Olinuxino LIME2 4G with new 3.4.112 kernel When installing to NAND, on the console I see a lot of : PHY_PageRead : too much ecc err,bank 0 block 276,page 4 PHY_PageRead : too much ecc err,bank 0 block 276,page 18 and so on ... Sometimes the installation succeeded, sometimes not, but the system is often instable, and finally, fully unusable. I tried all the precompiled images, then I compiled myself, but the same problem ... Until now, I used 3.4.106 without problems Thanks for support ! Greetings ,

Hi there, I am trying to download the lime2 legacy image : https://www.armbian.com/olimex-lime-2/#kernels-archive But the link is dead (error 404). Any chance to get this back up? Or can I use another legacy image and just change the script.bin or is there other things to modify? Thanks Edit : I just found the image on olimex website : ftp://staging.olimex.com/Allwinner_Images/A20-OLinuXino/2.legacy_images_kernel_3.4.x/

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, …

I flashed a fresh card with the LIME2 image. On boot, the bootloader loads. Once the kernel starts to load, I lose the display on HDMI. It is being powered over mini-usb, from a powered hub. No additional peripherals. It looks like the system is running (based on the Ethernet), but HDMI isn't displaying (the monitor says no signal). I'm able to connect over ssh.

Hi, I've tested more than 10 pcs of Lime2 rev. G and those that I received from Olimex in last supply (Jan 2017) has strange behavior, all of them. It won't boot if HDMI connector is plugged in (tested with two different screens). There is only simple message in console repeated crazy fast "rb int error!". Googling returned only two links to source code I use latest version 2017.01-armbian (Feb 02 2017 - 02:40:37) - Armbian_5.25_Lime2_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113.img When I try older Armbian 2016.09-armbian (Sep 15 2016 - 03:51:47 +0200) everything is fine.

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. Here …

Hello, Earlier on this week I decided to upgrade the kernel and the DTBs on my Armbian cluster (quite a few different boards but all of them based on Allwinner A20) from buster-next-5.92 to buster-current-20.08.2. Having successfully completed the upgrade on several other servers, I moved on to the lime2 one - which promptly failed to come back up after the reboot. Connecting the serial console shows u-boot doing its thing without issues and the kernel beginning to boot, producing normal messages - only to suddenly freeze. When exactly the freeze occurs varies, sometimes it even happens halfway through outputting a message line - but it is definitely before 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.

Hi, I could enable "spidev" support by armbian-config -> system -> hardware (enable spidev) . Everything worked fine. However, the original spidev module supports messages only up to 4096 bytes. I compiled a new version of custom spidev.ko with the 32,768 buffer size. Then, converted it to spidev.ko.xz ( xz -v spidev.ko) and replaced the original file under /lib/modules/5.15.85-sunxi/kernel/drivers/spi/spidev.ko.xz The new module works fine when I install it manually: insmod /lib/modules/5.15.85-sunxi/kernel/drivers/spi/spidev.ko.xz However, after the reboot the original 4096-byte version of "spidev" module is loaded magically.…

I want to downgrade the kernel because auf random freezes on my Banana Pi and was following this tutorial to downgrade to Mainline stable kernel (Armbian 5.31): At apt.armbian.com I can find all required packages except for: linux-firmware-image-next-sunxi According to the linked thread I need this package otherwise the system may not start anymore. Could someone tell me where to find that package? Thanks :-)

Hi, unfortunately many times the support for XFS filesystem is just forgotton.

I found out that this filesystem is not supported anymore (see 'cat /proc/filesystems') and no module is available. Could you plaese take care of this to fix this issue in the future? And/Or tell me please how I can get back to the older version of the kernel which supports XFS. The reason why I say this way is because I cannot spend every time hours or day's f…

Hi, Just signed on - I've got Armbian running on my BananaPI (i.e. the original plain Jane BPi) - and liking it on there so far. So - I was impressed with Armbian on there - and shelled out and got the OPi+ 2E - flashed an SDCard with Armbian - booted up - and really liking it. Only got it yesterday (took like a month after arriving in the country [AU]). Did nand-sata-install, successful and rebooted - and now running Armbian off eMMC - runs sweet. Really impressed so far - VASTLY better experience than Pine64 (I'm looking for a desktop experience on Arm - for no other reason than "because it's there").

Hello, I have a special Ir Receiver which works on a raspberry but not on nano pi neo air... input levels are different ? I can receive signal (I have pulses and spaces) but datas are corrupted and I must transmit longer to have a proper result... Is it possible to change Lirc input pin ?

I'm using lirc on an armbian stretch 9.9. the ir receiver works fine, but when I try to emit with the command: irsend SEND_ONCE tv KEY_5 (tv is the name of my lircd.conf), those ir signals that I previously recorded and saved on my lircd.conf file it shows the following error: Hardware does not support sending error running command: Input/output error Thanks in advance.

Hey, I am currently trying to get sending IR commands from my CubieTruck working. I am using Igors Armbian_4.2_Cubietruck_Debian_jessie_3.4.108 image. But it seems like the modules are not initialised in a way that they also can send since irsend returns errors that this device does not support sending. I tried it with the hardware.conf from the image aswell as with the hardware.conf and init.d file from https://github.com/matzrh/sunxi-lirc/wiki. Apparently, I have to do "echo $GPIO-Number > /sys/class/lirc_gpio/tx_gpio_pin" which I did with the right pin so in theory, the driver should be set up the way it is supposed to be. Yet still irsend throws errors. Ca…

Hi, I'm trying to send IR command from a IR led from an Orange Pi, i have it working fine on an Arduino, but it seems that on linux it's a bit more complicated as there are no lib that can control a GPIO with an IR transmitter, it seems that everybody is using LIRC. I see for raspberry pi this needs to be done : EDIT /etc/modules WITH : lirc_dev lirc_rpi gpio_in_pin=23 gpio_out_pin=22 the Orange PI devier module is different, so i do not know how to control it to let it know where the transmitter is. Anybody managed to get this to work ? Thx

Why not to add lirc_gpio support to NanoPiNeo Air ?

Hi All, I'm new here, well been lurking a while reading heaps, just not posting before now. My Orange Pi's arrived a few days ago so I have been playing, I have Ubuntu_xenial_3.4.112 image on both types and am able to connect to home wifi and do apt-get update/upgrade so all good here. One thing I wanted to do is use batman-adv, but the kernel module seems to have been disabled on the armbian images: @orangepipcplus:~# cat /boot/config-3.4.112-sun8i |grep BATMAN # CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV is not set It took me a while to figure out how to confirm this was the case but another post pointed me to the /boot/config-3.4.112-sun8i file.

Hi, I am trying to write my own kernel module/drive for the NanoPi air, running a self-compiled version of armbian 5.83. Actually I only added the PREEMTION option to get real-time behavior when reading/writing from IO pins. I started using the "hello world" template from here. To get the module compiled I had to build the headers for my kernel as well using the option INSTALL_HEADERS in the armbian-build config file. The build debian-package called "linux-headers-next-sunxi_5.83_armhf.deb" was copied and installed on the NanoPi. OK, so now compiling (on the NanoPi - so no cross-compilation) works like a charm: > make make -C /lib/modules/4.…

Hello, I have a Cubieboard2 and armbian in a vanilla kernel with jessie flavor. This board has a 2 cores processor. When I am logging in, load average is shown and becomes red when it is greater than 1.0. Since, there are 2 cores, it should be colorized only when it reaches 2.0. Is it possible to have this feature (taking care of each board's number of cores) ? Thank you

Hi to All, I recently upgraded my "test server" to the current version, by flashing a new image to my sd-card. However i forgot to recover some essential files, before flashing! I liked very much the login info about the the number of available updates, since I used the testing repo at that time. Could someone provide the code snipplet for that piece of info ann thell me, in which file to place it?? Well, many many thanks for your help and advice! regards, ireng

I installed armbian latest release. When i shutdown system desktop closed. After 1-2 seconds, desktop opened again And after 1-2 seconds closed again. Why desktop is launched again after closed? Is it a problem? How can i fix that?

Hi everyone, I'm facing a problem with logrotate on my OrangePi Zero with Armbian Focal mainline. Basically I have a process that is always running with a `tee` command that outputs the stdout to a log file in the /var/log/ directory. My logrotate configuration file looks like the following: /var/log/smartbit/gocpp.log { rotate 10 daily compress missingok notifempty copytruncate dateext } It's all working correctly except the copytruncate part: logs are daily rotated and gzipped but the gocpp.log is not truncated to 0 bytes, so it gets bigger and bigger. I noticed that in this new Armbian version logrotate is not triggered…

I have my Orange Pi running for a while on the CLI release of Jammy with kernel version: 6.6.16. It has been working well. I was building another one up and I went to download Armbian and I noticed that OrangePiZero is community supported now (Don't think it was before?). The current version to download says that network issues are expected. I never had this on 6.6.16 so wanted to stay on that. I looked here: https://armbian.hosthatch.com/archive/orangepizero/archive/ But there is only minimal for 6.6.16, all/most others have minimal and CLI (typical, the one I want lol) Is there somewhere else I could find the CLI vers…

Hello everyone, I’m looking for an old Armbian image: Armbian 5.73 stable for NanoPi NEO Air, specifically the one based on Debian 10 (Buster) with the 4.19.20-sunxi kernel. Unfortunately, it’s no longer available in the Armbian archives. If anyone still has a copy of this image (e.g., Armbian_5.73_NanoPiNeoAir_Debian_buster_next_4.19.20.img.xz), I would be very grateful if you could share it or point me to a working download link.

Hello, I have an image based on Armbian 5.37 and I have noticed that after upgrading linux-jessie-root-lime2 from 5.37 to 5.60, the Lime2 was not able to get an IP for eth0. The only way is to execute dhclient eth0 I have noticed that a lot of file was added in linux-jessie-root-lime2_5.60_armhf/data/usr/lib/armbian and I think that one of them are responsible of this issue. Do you have any idea on how to fix that ? Thanks

First, I am generally not a Linux person, so pardon any silly questions here. I am working on an OrangePi Plus 2E with (recent) Armbian. It has been working fine with the Jessie Desktop for several weeks now. I generally am running it 'headless', so I'm not sure exactly when, but sometime between last Saturday and yesterday I seem to have lost the desktop (and autologin, ...). I see a number of messages on the console at boot, including 'Stopped User Manager for user ID 1000' and then removing 'slice' for this user. The system is operating fine, just not the UI. So, how do I get autologin and desktop back (other than a new install)? What might have caused …

Hello, I have Orange Pi 3 LTS with Armbian 22.*.1 5.15.80-sunxi64. It have been working well for about a year, but after upgrading to 23.8.16.1.47-current-sunxi64 network interfaces stop working at all. I can't downgrade kernel with arbian-config because it need internet access. Here is output from armbianmonitor: armbianmonitor.txt Could you please guide me how to solve this issue?

I am getting a quite loud audio spike / noise sound at the end of an audio play in python when using the following script: https://gist.github.com/bbence84/04d1935a92a4b4ab3d44bf182ea4bcc1 Wav to be played, but it does it with any other wav or mp3 file: https://easyupload.io/vbat12 It uses the speech_recognition package and the preferredsoundplayer package, but also the VLC python package shows the same when playing the audio. When changing the audio play to be non-blocking for the python script, the issue goes away... Very strange. This is driviging me nuts. I'm on Armbian 22.11.1 Jammy / 22.04.1 LTS, kernel 5.15.80-su…

Good afternoon. The problem is indicated in the title. The computer is connected to my monitor via HDMI and the screen resolution is only 1024x768. Which is inconvenient to use. I saw a similar topic raised on the official forum of a single-payer in 2019, but no one answered there. Is this a problem of the computer itself or the Linux kernel or drivers?

Hello Igor and congrats for your contribution and regards to community! As the title points, is there any chance to create a Lubuntu image that will out of the box support all Pis (Banana Pi, Banana Pro, BPi-R1) with SATA, audio, networking and video acceleration? If it's too much, does anyone knows what OS is close to that requirements at least for BPi-R1? Or can we build something like this from scratch with your resources?

I've created an armbian minimal image for my pinebook with luks encryption. It works fine but I cannot see the password prompt on screen... the boot process is: * The armbian uboot is displayed * Then a black screen... After a few seconds I'm assuming it is time to put my luks password, so I do it * Then the screen starts to show the boot text Is this expected? Am I doing something wrong? I don't want to install plymouth, just the usual LUKS password prompt. Thanks!

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…

I am really confused about how to connect an LVDS monitor to the board. We used 3.x legacy kernel and used a .fex file for this in the past. But it is time to move to mainline, and it is confusing me. Since LVDS is not plug and play, we need to tell the parameters of the screen somehow. That is clear. I found several ways of pushing parameters to the system: 1. Compile into kernel 2. Compile into U-boot 3. Device Tree 4. Device Tree Overlay 5. Kernel command line According to these articles i have to compile them into U-boot: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/1905-enabling-lcd-in-u-boot-kernel-472/ ht…

Hi! I have Banana PI and LVDS 5" with touch screen. I installed latest image and folow procedure to enable it: and modify /etc/module to support touch screen, But I find out there is no bananapilcd5.bin in /boot/bin folder. Then I had downloaded banana_pi_5lcd.bin from lemakaer page (https://github.com/LeMaker/fex_configuration/tree/master/bin), and execute above line again (first rename it and put into bin folder). LCD Screen is now working but I have no touch screem Am I missing something ?

Well, I have this old M1 lying around. I found use for it. However HDMI output seems to be broken and I have composite video USB dongle at my hand and it boots... but I can not do anything with it. The question becomes: How on earth can I make it "ssh login"-able from the first boot (preferably with mdns)? What should I do with the image? Auto configuration tools - as handy and nice those are - are not for this. Thanks.

Hi, I have 3 Orange Pi Zero running with the same sd image. It's all working fine, but yesterday I added a fourth device, which for some reason took a MAC address that is the same of another device, causing issues on the connection for both of them. I'm using the mainline kernel ARMBIAN 5.38 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.14.18-sunxi. Searching on the internet, I found someone saying that mac addresses for Orange Pis are randomly generated every time the device reboots, but in my case the taken MAC address is always the same for every device.

I had followed instructions to rebuild the orange pi with the dev packages that are found on its download page, and it worked the first time, allowing me to continue with my work. Long story short I ended up re-imaging the sd card and now I can't get the dev version to work again. It won't boot once I install the packages. I am wondering if somet…

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!
