Hi, after upgrading my Cubietruck it failed to boot from SSD. I suspect this has something to do with the causes discussed here: http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/690-upgrade-error-with-armbian-500-on-cubieboard2-running-from-nand/?hl=boot#entry5649 and / or a proper installation of the 'board support packages'. I got the same failure message as mentioned above: FEHLER: unable to make backup link of `./boot/bin/cubieboard.bin' before installing new version: Operation not permitted Directory /boot from nand1 was mounted during upgrade. I thought the solution would be to boot from SD to SSD an fix the issues. So I changed boot.cmd accordingly …

This is not to demand the devs to make the board work, I know your quite hang up on maintaining Armbian and the massive collection of boards. But I searched the forum to see if I could find it, and didn't find anything. So yeah well here is the thread about this board, in case others do a forum search. The board looks promising, but it would have been great with emmc on it, somehow they just cant get it right with these boards And if or when you need something testet, I'll be happy to help.

Hi, Recently I've made a custom kernel for an Olimex Lime board. The NAND driver refused to load and reported "kernel divide by zero". I believe the problem is in drivers/block/sunxi-nand/nfd/nand_block.c in function get_cmu_clk. The function (with my patch line) is: __u32 get_cmu_clk(void) { __u32 reg_val; __u32 div_p, factor_n; __u32 factor_k, factor_m; __u32 clock; reg_val = *(volatile unsigned int *)(0xf1c20000 + 0x20); div_p = (reg_val >> 16) & 0x3; factor_n = (reg_val >> 8) & 0x1f; factor_k = ((reg_val >> 4) & 0x3) + 1; factor_m = ((reg_val >> 0) & 0x3) + 1; …

Hello, I have a question about HDMI CEC in Armbian Stretch, is it possible to run this? After command lsmod I have module hdmi_hw_cec, I install libcec and cec-utils packages but cec-client still show "not devices". I read in sunxi wiki http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort#Status_Matrix that HDMI CEC should be active in revision 4.17, so when we can expect this version? :)

trying to read the serial data from the UART1 port then write it on the UART2 port .... this is absolutely easy in the case of just reading the serial data. but now what m really trying to do is to read the serial binary bits which includes the serial data and the framing data ( parity bit/stop bit/start bit) and then write all of these binary bits to the other serial port. how could this be done? how could i read the serial bits without the framing bits being stripped? thanks in advance best regards

My newly received Orange PI Plus 2 gets stuck in a reboot loop, if I try to boot headless (no USB, no HDMI; UART is connected to see boot messages). Is such a problem known here? I have the same issue with some other linux images from other distributions, but hope to find some experience here. In detail: Power supply: Regulated Power Supply set to approx 5.2V (max 2A, built-in analog amperemeter shows max 1.4A during boot). No cables connected except power supply and UART I tried various SD-Cards (8GB or 64GB SDHC) --> The Orange PI Plus 2 boots till USB initialization and then reboots (sometimes it freezes). …

Hello, I'm trying to get a opi+2e to output something on my HDMI TV without success. The TV is a 10yo Thomson intuiva 27LB130S5 (1280x720, should be capable of 720p / 1080i) I tried android on eMMC, worked OK. Installed Armbian_5.14_Orangepiplus2e_Debian_jessie_3.4.112_desktop on a microsd. During install there was some console output to the display (a bit mangled), and after the reboot, nothing. I got SSH over eth access. I disabled nodm service, rebooted to have FB console only (easier to debug, or so I thought) Still nothing. Tried h3disp on a few resolutions (-m 6, 5, 4, 2) with a reboot between each one. None gave me anything …

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 installed Armbian (image from here https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-lite/ [Buster / mainline based kernel 5.4.y]). After booting on OPi Lite everithing works fine. I have updated and upgraded OS. Reboot, shutdown and again turn on the board works just fine. I decided to download desktop for this image. Desktop was downloaded and installed successfully (with armbian-config). Everything works fine. After reboot, shutdown, turn off by unplugging the cable, Armbian on my OPi Lite does not wake up anymore. When I will load this image again, everything works fine by the time I will download and install desktop and turn off the board. I have tried other di…

I tried to build the armbian on my Orange Pi Zero Plus 2 to work on my astro project. I'm planning to connect the board to the camera module, which I'd assemble with a small scope (120mm focal length), and with a small TFT screen to make it a electronic finder scope. When I build and install the stretch server I've encounter several instability. There were some random crashes and finally I was able to get it stable. I'd like to share it here in case anyone is encountering the same. Here's the info: First I was experiencing random crashes and the exception message shows there's a problem at the high resolution timer. I simply disable the hr timer …

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, As you can see in the armbianmonitor output, an error prevents from using the Spi with the Orange pi Zero board using a newly downloaded Armbian image. The output refers to the Armbian-Hirsute image (the last one tested) but the same error also occurs with the Buster and Focal images.

In Ubuntu Xenial how do we disable framebuffer switching and font switching? My Orange Pi Plus 2e v1.1 has the usual problem with HDMI-to-DVI converters but it's unusual in this case because it's switching framebuffers and fonts. The screen appears just fine during boot, but just after the message "Starting kernel..." the screen blanks and goes into power-saving poweroff with no return. I've seen this before, and I have tried several things to prevent the dead screen. I tried editing /boot/armbianEnv.txt to contain these lines like I have on other SBCs like PINE A64 and older Orange Pi devices that solved this problem: disp_mode=720p60 disp_dvi_compat=1 I …

Hi, admin. I installed Mainline 4.9.12-sunxi on my cubieboard 2.

Hello! I have an Cubietruck with an attached SATA-Disk. I would like to use the board without an SD-Card (I don't see why I should use one when I have a nand and a Disk). I can boot u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin using FEL and Armbian boots successfully. I can write stuff to nand, but I didn't manage to write an working u-boot to nand. Is the SPL-Version the correct one or the one without? Do I have to write to something special like MBR? Where does the BROM search for the bootloader? Does it parse the partition-table? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I am working on a project in which we need to use a Nanopi Neo Air (based on SoC Allwinner H3). In this project we need to use the USB serial interface to communicate with another part of the project. We need to configure the Nanopi Neo Air USB interface as a peripheral USB . Nanopi Neo Air's USB serial interface is configured by default as a USB host, and in "armbian-config" there is no way to change this configuration. The USB host (which is the other part of the project) will send data to the Nanopi Neo Air whenever there is new data. Is it possible to configure the Nanopi Neo Air as a peripheral USB? How can we do this configur…

Igor, Firstly, many thanks for some fantastic work.... I use your images for Audio streaming via USB. I have a cambridge Audio DAC sitting on the USB port and it works 99% flawlessly, even at 192k/24bit with only the occasional pop etc. I've noticed though that after a while, the "server" starts to have problems and the browsing of server stops working, with unused devices disappearing. A reboot is the only way to resolve. I've also noticed a possible memory leak and with a bit of googling, I see there's a problem with.. "Kernels versions 2.6.25 through 2.6.28.8 have a bug in USB EHCI controller driver that leads to large memory leaks with isochronous devices like …

I made tests with Orange Pi 2+ to install Armbian to eMMC. But I have no idea why it takes 30 minutes to install. I assume write speed of eMMC to be 5MB/s (ok maybe it is even faster) and Armbian on SD card is about 2.1GB, so it should take ~7 minutes to copy files, plus some more minutes to finish final touches, let's say 15 minutes together. But why it takes more than 30 minutes? Is there any possibility how to reduce this time? P.S. When I am burning armbian img to SD card, in 5 minutes I am ready to go and boot the system.

Hello! I build my own image using the provided scripts. I want to be able to run a headless opi system just with ethernet and two usb wireless interfaces.

Hi , my op one board is installed latest armbian but i couldnt see serail ports The default serial port /dev/ttyS0, used for (bootstrap) debugging and the serial console, is located at J11 - refer to the picture and instructions below. The Raspberry's "original" serial port on GPIO 14 and 15 (CON3, pins 8 and 10) can usually be accessed as /dev/ttyS2 on the Orange Pi Plus. J12 also provides another serial port on pins 4 (RX) and 6 (TX), which should map to /dev/ttyS3. only i see /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyGS0--GS4 how can i fix this issue ?

Hello, my Orange Pi Lite WiFi (RTL 8189FTV) @ armbian 5.13 for OPi Lite works well on 20 MHz WiFi channels however is not usable on 40 MHz channels. The signal strength vary between 79 to 95 % on 20 MHz channel(s) while from -1 to 36 % on 40 MHz channel(s) and the connection is not possible. It seems the driver still needs some more tweak. Other WiFi devices have no problems with 40 MHz. The router I use to connect to is Asus RT-N18U (Broadcom BCM47081A0). Thank you for your efforts vojtvop

Hi everyone I'm trying to use an Orange Pi Zero but I have some troubles by using Ethernet and WiFi. First, I connect to the pi via SSH by using ethernet IP. Then, I connect to the pi via SSH by using WiFi IP. At this point, all works fine. The problem appears when I disconnect the Ethernet cable. After doing it, I also lose WiFi connexion. my cfg : Armbian v5.25 Debian jessie 3.4.113-sun8i

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...

Hi Igor, after trying and failing totally with Bananian etc. I found your images. So I installed the Jessie image 21.5.15 / 3.4.107 on my BananaPro which seemed to boot up somehow. I can ping the BananaPro fine but can't login via SSH. The SSH connection simply times out, even after rebooting the BPro. Do you or anyone else know what to do? Thanks!

Hi , I'm an beginner.I have M2+ and want to access GPIO by Python. Please suggest me that how to do that. thank you.

I would like to upgarde my Cubietruck headless server from Legacy to Vanilla. With Legacy if I boot from NAND I can get my hard disc to spin down. But with SD card/sda root file system (as required by Vanilla) I can't get my disc to stop: if I issue 'hdparm -Y /dev/sda' it spins up again after a short interval. I have done everything I can think of to ensure that rsyslog is not writing to disc. Syslog shows frequent ata error messages that seem to coincide with the disc re-starting. Error msg: kernel: [ 104.477850] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x200 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 I have tried this on two different Cubieboards with different makes of hard…

Hi all. I've been struggling for several days to establish an internet connection via enc28j60 (Ethernet to SPI device) on my Nano Pi NEO Air, running Armbian 5.27, kernel 4.11.3. I have this custom DTS file added to my armbianEnv.txt, with two small modifications regarding the interrupt pin (apparently, PA7 is not available on Nano Pi NEO Air). I have pins = "A17"; ... interrupts = <0 17 2>; instead of pins = "PA7"; ... interrupts = <0 7 2>; The DT stuff is correctly loaded during boot, and an eth0 interface shows up (initially with random MAC address upon every reboot, but it's fixed now). However, only the orange ligh…

I switched armbian repo to stable via armbian-config 24.11.2.

Hi. Yesterday tried new images - Debian+Ubuntu. In both cases - my wireless Logitech K400 is not working in all 4 usb. (no problem with keyboard connected to windows laptop) Any suggestions? Thanks.

i've an orange pi one and i'm running armbian stretch (mainline) on it after issuing shutdown -h now as root, the green status indicator light goes off. but i noted that the ethernet leds remain on i leave the board powered on after shutdown but since i've already issued shutdown, i assumed that the cpu has stopped while i go on to work on my pc. some minutes later, i accidentally touch parts of the board and it is extremely hot, every part of the board i'd say it is probably well higher than 100 deg C, possibly a fire hazard do be careful about this as i think the behavior after shutdown is different from ubuntu xenial. for ubuntu x…

Hello, about a month ago I got MangoPi QM-Quad - quite nice board, but with small support. Hardware specification: https://mangopi.org/mqquad Review: https://bret.dk/initial-mangopi-mq-quad-comparison/ I needed a raspberry pi zero board with usb-c with both host and otg ports and external wifi antenna - so after some consideration I want with Mango-Pi QM-Quad. Sadly after some work with available distributions I finally give up with trying to compile / build everything I needed and moved to getting Armbian to run on the board. Thankfully board is almost identical with orangepi-zero2 - so modification with edge kernel only required m…

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.

There's this: Anybody knows about the status of PWM on the H5 (OPi PC 2 in my case) with mainline kernel? BTW am I off-topic asking about H5 in this forum? Thanks.

Good morning, I have a NanoPi Neo core where I am trying to use the usb ports (USB1, USB2 and USB3), the first thing to say is that all usbhost is active in armbian-config. The system does not recognize me anything in any of the 3, not a pendrive, or Wi-Fi or anything. If I go to armbian-config, I see that the DTB system that has loaded is that of the NanoPi air, I do not know if it can influence. USB devices receive power when connected. Any idea if I have to activate something else or modify the DTB or something? I have tried adding to armbianEnv.txt this line at the end fdtfile = sun8i-h3-nanopi-neo.dtb but nothing. Thanks and best r…

I am trying to setup a 5ghz access point on D-Link DWA-171(according to wikidevi, it's 8811au) + NanoPI NEO PLUS2. I use the testing armbian image with latest update. The hostapd can enable the 802.11a 5ghz AP mode with ht_enabled (but it says this chip doesn't support 802.11ac) I can see the SSID shows in the phone. If I try to connect it, it will fail and says the station is out of range. When the phone is trying to connect this AP, hostapd doesn't output any connection log even in debug mode. Also, although I set the channel to 40, the WIFI analyzer on the phone shows it is using 38. dmesg Spoiler …

Hello, I used my cubieboard A10 to make a torrentserver with armbian. I use armbian jessie with vanilla kernel. The rootfs is on a 16gb sandisk sd-card, the download folder is on a sata ssd. I connect through ssh. When I start up the box everything runs as it should, but after approx. 5 minutes the connection drops with the cubieboard. Transmission stops and the ssh-server stops. When I then reboot, the torrents are gone and I have to reload them. the data on the ssd is still there. I tried already to limit the download speed to 2Mb/s but still the same. What can be the problem? I had a tl wr703n as a torrent box for a long time without a problem. The…

So far I was used to the Grub (and lilo) boot manager(s) but the Armbian 5.31 Bananapi Debian jessie next 4.11.5 image does some things differently. I have found the file /boot/armbianEnv.txt but none of the websites I found described what I should do with it. I tried to copy it to /etc but the changes did not take effect. I would like to remove the logo and have verbose boot messages. Could somebody help me to get there, please?

Hello Armbian team, I must start by thanking you for the effort you put into Armbian and making it possible for us to get the best of our boards. Your work is appreciated! The problem that I have been facing is that my OPI lite 2 functions correctly when it boots, but after a while I see a couple of sunxi-mmc errors in the logs and the filesystem becomes inaccessible and the board unusable. The log entries look like this: [ 750.827959] sunxi-mmc 4020000.mmc: data error, sending stop command [ 751.824422] sunxi-mmc 4020000.mmc: send stop command failed I cannot pinpoint the source of the problem as multiple issues seem to play a role in the…

Hello, all. My Orange Pi PC2 recently broke when doing an upgrade. So I hooked a serial cable to it and watched what it did. The error was that it couldn't find the dtb file. It was looking for "/boot/dtb/allwinner/allwinner/sun50i-h5-orangepi-pc2.dtb" and "/dtb/allwinner/allwinner/sun50i-h5-orangepi-pc2.dtb", but the former fails because the file is at "/boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-h5-orangepi-pc2.dtb". So, I put a simlink in dtb/allwinner called 'allwinner' and pointing to the parent directory. Now the device boots. I'm not sure if that's the proper fix, but it works for now and I'll fix it if I manage to break something with it later on. Thi…

Hi All, I did my best to sort the following issues out by searching the web / forum with no success. Please forgive me in advance if topic was already covered. I have a cubietruck running mainline kernel and have installed a LiPo battery. I can get info about the battery by catting /sys/class/power_supply/axp20x-battery contents. However, some things are weird ; - capacity reports 0 (but bat is charged) - voltage_now reports 4.5V (abnormal for a LiPo) while voltage_max says 4.2V (which is normal) - status says discharging even when on mains - ssh motd does not show battery status (btw 30-armbian-sysinfo seems to poi…

Your kernel does not appear to be compiled with support for unprivileged user namespaces (CONFIG_USER_NS=y), or something else is preventing creation of user namespaces. This feature is critical for sandboxing. Arch Linux is known to ship with a kernel that disables this feature; if you are using Arch, you will unfortunately need to compile your own kernel (see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36969).If you are not using Arch, and don't know why your system wouldn't have user namespaces, please file a bug against Sandstorm so we can figure out what happened. .....anyone? Thanks! (going to try compiling now, but figured I'd ask.…

I want to wake up my orange pi plus 2e device through the pin. It will feature a PIR sensor on this pin. I did research in the forum, but I could not find any documents. We can wake up by applying a interrupt like Arduino through a pin. How do I follow a path for this device? When I take the device to sleep, I can not wake it up again. The buttons on it do not function at all.

Working from the documentation here: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_FEL-boot/#what-is-felnfs-boot. Not much luck so far with an FA NanoPi K1 Plus. Please see below for details. TIA.

Seems when I upgrade my pcDuino3 Nano (pcDuino3b to be specific) from the Mainline server 4.7.3 using apt-get to the newest of everything, wifi is no longer seen. I have tried following the kernel upgrade guide as listed here: https://www.armbian.com/pcduino3nano/, but that doesn't seem to solve it. The device isn't even seen anymore. I did at one point get an error in dimes about ‘/lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8188eufw.bin' being missing, which was odd because i don't think thats wifi, but replacing that with one i found on the rpi boards didnt help either. Ive been working on this issue for hours. Everything seems to work great as long as i don't upgrade, but I don't reall…

Hi everybody, I work on my Orange Pi Plus 2 since a few days now. I've installed Armbian with linux Kernel 3.4 (Debian Jessie) on eMMC. One of my main objectives is to bond the WiFi and the Ethernet interfaces in one interface called bond0 (I've seen many examples on how to do this on the Internet). My configuration seems to be good (it's based on the default interfaces.bonding file, just changed it with my WiFi parameters). When I restart networking service, none of my interfaces get up. I've tried to update/upgrade my stystem, reinstall ifenslave. I've also checked module list with lsmod, it returns a lot of names, but not "bonding" module. …

I'm running an OrangePi One. Having installed Armbian a while ago and gone through all the updates, I was wondering if there is any way to determine what equivalent release my installations are at. I noticed that 5.20 is out and some folks are talking about 5.21. I'm running Jessie. Also, for me to use a more recent version of Debian, I'm guessing I would have to build the image myself? Is that due to shortcomings in the 4.x kernels on the H3 platform? I've done some digging and it seems like many (most) things are working right on the 4.x kernels? Thank you James

Hi, I just realized that my Orange Pi Zero running Armbian now shows a completely wrong temperature reading using cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp This has not been the case until I updated to Armbian 5.38 by apt upgrade some days ago. Before that the reading was plausible. Not sure which exact version I was running before. I have a cpu temp monitoring script running and just realized that it now gets garbage. At the moment I get a reading of -12°C when outside temp is about 0°C (the OrangePi is in a water proof box outside on my roof). Not a serious problem, but seems to be a bug, so would be nice if it could be addressed :-) . …

Dear Armbian friends, I have question about add DS18B20 temp sensor at RPi-Monitor (web based interface). Can somebody paste working config of this sensor? On internet I found many tutorials but with DHT sensors. On this page (Xavier is an author of RPi-Monitor I think) is described DS18B20 but in status "Working in progress". I tried this but without luck. https://xavierberger.github.io/RPi-Monitor-docs/32_sensors.html?highlight=ds18b20 Cheers, Lucas
