Hello, Since a week I try moving the OS on the sdcard to an attached SSD. OS: Armbian 5.65 Ubuntu Xenial 3.4.113 desktop Because the BPIM1 has a genuime SATA interface it should work. I have found dozens of tutorials how to do this. Until now I did not find any tutorial that works. Of course I started with nand-install expecting this would work out of the box. But after the install and rebooting I got the notification that it couldn't find the ssd. I guess I have to change something in the bootloader on the sdcard? (I am not a Linux expert but an enthustiastic Linux user) Is there any working tutorial including the final…

hallo, i downloaded debian jessy image with kernel 4.0.5 from there: http://mirror.igorpecovnik.com/Lamobo-r1_Debian_3.1_jessie_4.0.5.zipand installed it on bananapi. at first boot seems to be system self-autoconfigured and reboots. Now i see that /etc/network/interfaces is linked with interfaces.r1 and in /boot i found those files: config-4.0.5-lamobo-r1, System.map-4.0.5-lamobo-r1, vmlinuz-4.0.5-lamobo-r1. can it be that autoconfiguration has my bpi as router configured. How can i fix that manualy? nex question: on the boot i see one pinguine, but while bpi has 2 cores it shoul be 2 pinguins or not ? best regards Marijus

Hello all, I bought this OPZ, it was cheap and I was curious. Primarily for a yet-another-headles-server-without-wifi. I am used to different hardware and Debian since "the days You compiled Linux kernel in just 48 hours". I read quite a lot about OPZ and different OS solutions - You have quite a few weeks before You get Your parcel from China to Your mailbox in Sweden. My first SD card I bought from China, it was Kingston 16GB class 10 an all of that. Worked like charm in couple of hours then after reboot it was unreadable. I spent days in search for solution, tried to reformat it in different ways on different machines and using different OS and software combination.…

Hi all, I want to set my Pi with specified hostname. I checked successful when cat /etc/hostname. Howerver, when I am using a Advanced IP Scanner to scan all the network, it just show the IP without the hostname while others raspberry boards have displayed as my attached image below. Thanks!

Yesterday I nearly burned my orange pi zero because of the faulty LAN cable, after that, everything I plugged into the expansion board couldn't be detected anymore by lsusb or dmesg, it works fine though if I plug in my thumb drive / usb wifi into the usb port on the main board (Next to the LAN port). How do I know for sure that my expansion board is broken and not the pin headers in the main board ? I'm not an electronic guy I don't know anything about soldering and stuff.

Hello, I had a telecommunication technician logged onto my router + later that night a power outage. Now my pi (not sure before or after or related to anything), now the lights go on the pi (both + the one on the network), I can see it on the router with an IP but that is it. I can't logon to it on that IP with Putty nor can I ping it from the console on the PC. I tried now 3-4 of the builds (older ones, one official one and so on) with the flash card, but always the same. I don't have an USB to TTL converter to try that route. Is there anything else I can do? There is no way to do a hard reset, right?

I have an Orange Pi win plus 2 the black board. The same does not start at all Armbian, it was working normally with ubuntu, I'm using a class 10 SD

Hi all, I noticed that my OrangePi freezes after 4-5 days of uptime. Something happens (usually around 06:00) when my script simply stop working (no more log entries) and then reboots after ~12 hours (exactly at 13:17 in all occasions). Finally the orange pi becomes unresponsive and heats up to 85-90 degree Celsius. I've checked CPU temperature, disk and memory usage but haven't found anything... I'm a beginner in armbian and completely having no idea what could be the root casue. Could you please help? I've executed a diagnostics you can find it here: http://ix.io/1iQc Related syslog entries: Jul 31 06:10:01…

Hi Just got my first Orange Pi Zero today. Everything looking good, with the exception, if I run iperf tests between this and a linux host, the Orange Pi Zero will reboot without any error messages. I changed my power supply to a wall plug which can support 2.4amp easily, also tried to tune down the frequency to 900Mhz max, 4 cores, turned off HDMI/GPU, USB. DRAM is at minimum, 408 I think. Temperature remains at 55 to 58C Still once a while during heavy network, the board will reboot. The image i used is the legacy image posted on orange pi zero, Armbian_5.24_Orangepizero_Debian_jessie_3.4.113 Thanks Jerry

Hi Community, I'm having problem loading armbian images from SD card. Is there nand image for CT? Thank you for reply in advance Gary

Hi All, I'm using a rather old Armbian (wheezy) image on an Olimex Micro. I've installed a lot of apps on it, so I don't want to be moving to a newer image. I'm trying to copy my SD card image to NAND using the `nand-sata-install.sh` script that came with the image. All goes well. The script partitions the NAND, reboots, installs all files and shuts down. When I remove the SD card and power on, the board boots and everything is still alright. Now, on subsequent poweroffs or reboots, the board does boot, but I doesn't connect to ethernet. Boot logs from debug UART show that `proc` isn't mounted. Error: /proc must be mounted What could be the reaso…

Hello, I'm running a Cubietruck with legacy kernel (3.4.113) since a long time. The use of the legacy kernel is mainly due to the fact that I'm booting from onboard NAND and this was not supported by the mainline kernel for a long time. Meanwhile Armbian's mainline kernel became Stretch in its server flavor and I'm thinking about migrating. However I'm suspicious this will still break NAND boot, despite the fact that the documentation claims plus "missing NAND support" is not listed under "known issues" for the Cubietruck. Can anyone confirm or deny that mainline kernel meanwhile does/does not support booting from NAND on Cubietruck? And if…

I have an Orangepiplus2e when I ran the command nand-sata-install after selecting boot from emmc system on sata or usb and selecting the destination/dev/sdb1 it shows the error of Partition too small. Needed: 3857 Mb Avaliable: 2700 Mb, How do I solve this?

The program nand-sata-installer doesn't work to put the image on the onboard storage with all 4.X kernels (orange pi plus wifi/nand). When i use the older kernel it works fine without any issue. Also when i compile this image by myself it doesn't work either Is there a way to put the SD image to the local storage and how can i do this with this 4.x kernel?

the nand-sata-install always proposes the sda1 as a destination. this did not fit what i needed. i have had success by editing the file and replace all sda1 with sdxx (whatever i need) and then it works (the information gives the wrong size in the initial screen). i looked into the code (but i do not understand bash programming): it seems that sda1 is hardwired despite the intention to find all possible destinations and to offer them. it is a useful utility, as it does several things at once (copy stuff, change fstab) which are otherwise separate coordinated steps. thank you for the utily! andrew install into nand did the correct copying, but did not …

when i triaing change monitor in NANO PI M1 from HDMI to DVI ( H3disp 1080p ), then i cannot start system in a DVI monitor. After changed HDMI monitor is also blocked. Then you have to delete into another computer in sd card your scirpt bin file and rename script.bin.back to script.bin to return to HDMI monitor. DVI does not work at all . maybe it is producer error not software.

Hi all, Firstly, I want to say that I'm new to Armbian and embedded Linux. I have tried searching the solution for my problem on various sites but I haven't had any luck. I am using a Nano Pi Duo 2 (H3) board with Armbian Buster to communicate with another device through UART1 (TX1, RX1). I am able to communicate at 115200 bps with no problem. However, I need the baud rate to be at least 230400 bps (ideally 921600) for my application. I'm using WiringNP library. When I changed to those baud rates and performed a simple feedback test (shorting TX/RX), I can receive the data. But when I connect it to another device, the communication does not funct…

Hi, I got a new nano pi neo air and wanted to add a microphone to record sound.

I noticed that the Nano Pi Neo has a pin or 2 labeled 3.3V out. How much current is available from this source? I have a CODEC and a few other things that need 3.3V power. I need to know what the 3.3V output can deliver safely, or if I should just add my own 3.3 regulator for the external circuitry.

In the 3.4 Kernel I could call: rmmod dhd modprobe dhd op_mode=2 To set the wifi module to Access Point mode. But with the latest Kernel 4.14(?) neither of these modules exist. Does anyone know what the equivalent of this code would be for 4.14, or some other way to enable AP mode?

Hi guys, first I want to thank you for your marvelous work. I've learned much... I've ordered a Nano Pi Neo Air and two Nano Pi Neo from Friendly Arm which arrived last week to build some squeezelite clients and drop them around the house. At the moment I'm just using some cheap USB-C-Media Soundcards but plan to invest in better ones, if the multi-room solution I have in mind is used enough. The Nano Pi Neo (not Air) does exactly what it should using the Ubnuntu Xenial Image from the download page. Cheers! For the Air's I've used the Debian release, don't know really why ;-) At first I've bootet it from a SD-Card after a direct eMMC-Flash using https:…

Good morning, I have a NanoPi Neo Core that I want to use to generate a PWM wave. As far as I understand, the pin for this is PA5, which is shared with UART. However, by using the corresponding overlay, the UART would be disabled, and PWM would be enabled. Is that correct? What would be the next steps to verify that this is correct and to generate the PWM wave? Is there a specific command to do this? Thanks for your help, and best regards!

Greetings to all, Preamble: Thanks to all that have worked to make the Armbian project what it is today. It is greatly appreciated!

Some brief guidance from those who have gone before would save a lot of time and would be greatly appreciated. Looking at the datasheets wasn't real helpful in guesstimating optimum performance configuration - especially since there are so many other factors that have an impact.

Hi, I am having an issue with my system running a nanopi Air. After boot, my system won't detect my rtc (i2cdetect doesn't show it) nor my USB device. The problem must come from my SD card or is software related. Indeed, when I am booting from another SDcard, with aembian installed, everything is detected normally. Does anyone has a clue?

Just stumbled upon this new board by the Friendlyarm folks. http://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=197 Lots of signals exposed on the strip contacts, including Ethernet and USB, though magnetics and connectors aren't there, which makes this even more interesting to build thin appliances: you add connectors when you need them. Good! I'll probably order a couple to start playing with, but will take forever to ship over here.

You can find these displays on EBay and Amazon for less than $10 US each (you can get them for less than $3 US if you order from China, but it might not show up). I've configured Luma on many SBCs and it's my go to library if I need a small display for projects. Requirements NanoPi Duo (I used V1.0 board with 512 MB RAM) flashed with Armbian image. This will work with or without the mini shield. Small nylon nuts, bolts and standoffs if y…

Just tried Armbian 23.5 Bookworm, cli & minimal. Both report the same in the console. Board works just fine with official img from www.friendlyelec.com Here is the terminal output.

Hi, For those interested in developing their own base board for Nano Pi Duo Ijust finished to design footprint and schematic symbol for Nanopi DUO under Altium. Hope it can help someone, you can get it at https://github.com/frederir/NanoPiDuo-Altium Best. Frederir.

I noticed with the latest bionic image on the Duo it does a soft shutdown when you use the built in button. The problem is I use this button for my own uses. Can this feature be disabled and relinquish control of the button? gpioinfo | grep k1 line 3: unnamed "k1" input active-low [used]

I just flashed https://dl.armbian.com/nanopiduo/Ubuntu_bionic_next.7z and it doesn't appear to detect the onboard wifi. ip a only shows lo and eth0. I'm going to try the expansion board with Ethernet onboard and see what shows up. OK, just tried this on a adapter board with Ethernet and now there's an eth0 and Wired Connection 1. It appears the eth0 is really the wifi adapter, but nmtui treats it like an Ethernet connection. Same issue with https://dl.armbian.com/nanopiduo/Debian_stretch_next.7z Wifi not detected, but eth0 is detected instead of wlan0.

I'm looking for udev rules or some other way to read system LEDs without sudo. I tried https://github.com/todbot/blink1/blob/master/linux/51-blink1.rules, but I suspect it's not 100% what I need for the Duo.

I just got 4 NanoPi Duos v1.1 and the OTG port functions (unlike v1.0)! This is with the FriendlyElec image. I was wondering should I compare the FriendlyElec's sun8i-h2-plus-nanopi-duo.dtb to the one on Armbian? I already tried messing with Armbian's sun8i-h2-plus-nanopi-duo.dtb by changing usb@01c19000 status = "okay" and adding dr_mode = "host". I'm not sure I can just drop in the dtb? Any way, I'll see what I can figure out. I'm excited the OTG port works now for more than just power since that saves you from buying the Mini Shield if you have a simple project that just needs a USB drive or camera.

I built the latest Nobel build and ended up with Armbian-unofficial_26.02.0-trunk_Nanopiduo_noble_current_6.12.63.img. Even at idle it runs 70C. If you try to do upgrades it will do thermal shutdown. The temp reporting is real because it's hot enough to burn your finger if you hold the heat sink long enough. I used a PS2 usb fan (I call it the ghetto cooler 5000) long enough to downgrade kernel to 6.1.x. Now it idles around 50C. I know there's been heating issues with H3 (Duo uses H2+). I compared DTBs, voltages and cannot find the smoking gun. I played around controlling the voltages, etc. Anyways, I'm OK with 6.1.x kernel since this board was out in 2017. I still have a…

I've built https://github.com/auto3000/RPi.GPIO_NP for the Duo running Armbian Ubuntu test image: cd /sys/class/gpio for i in gpiochip* ; do echo `cat $i/label`: `cat $i/base` ; done 1c20800.pinctrl: 0 1f02c00.pinctrl: 352 Has anyone actually got RPi.GPIO working on Duo? I'm trying to get luma.oled cranking and have SPI working fine, but need GPIO working as well.

Hi, I am using the Armbian NanoPiDuo image and I have enable sound through armbian-config. It work well except for a small issue. When a file is sent to play, it misses out on about .5 seconds of the first part of audio. So if I run speaker-test -t wav, instead of the sound playing "front left" it just play the work left, the continues playing "front left" correctly. If I stop speaker test and run again straight away it work as planned. If I wait a few seconds the original problem occurs. To my basic knowlege, it seems like it is initialising the sound out. Is anyone else having this problem? Are there any settings I can adjust to …

Is there a way to set the OTG port on the Duo to host mode when not using it for power? This way a mini shield is not required for simple projects that power off the bus, but want to utilize the OTG port. It looks like it is possible, see my comments in thread below:

Hi! With latest edge 6.15.4 the board boots fine, shutdown also clean and complete but on reboot it does not again start up. Need to powercycle😒 I gets stuck et end of shutdown. Same for latest bookworm image (I think it's 6.12x). Earlier ones did work. => Any other board also affected? => Is for reboot the watchdog involved? T.

Hi all! I may need some pointers. I'm using a 2.4" LCD at spi1 which works as /dev/fb0 on armbian bookworm (6.1.63) Meanwhile I've learned frambuffer is deprecated and to be replaced by drm., but ... - I could not find enough details to understand the drm architecture in general - there is a linux/drivers/gpu/drm/tiny/ili9341.c how is that used at all? - How to use drm in armbian? For my case any acceleration is not necessary (and likely not possible even if the H3 has Mali Hardware) but I want to avoid further changes if /fbX is really gone. btw. I want to add touch with shared SPI soon, work in progress. …

Hi, I'm using Nanopi DUO2 for few IoT projects. Using the microUSB serial console connection is very convenient and fast method to manage this SBC. Unfortunately with latest version of Armbian (tested with v24.11.0) it not working any more. Version 23.11.1 works fine out from the box, but after sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade the microUSB serial console is not available. Any suggestion how to switch it back will be very appreciated. Slawek

Not sure if this is the right forum, or it should be under board bringup.... I have a few Duo2 boards running with the FriendlyElec image, but my OrangePi boards all run Armbian... I do prefer Armbian :-) . Playing around a little I can get the Nanopi Neo Air image running, but not with the wired ethernet. (My boards reside on my own design with a ethernet jack, which works perfect with the FE/FA image) I have the Armbian build environment running in a VM, and can compile my own kernel etc. ButI need a few pointers how to get the right board config in the image/kernel.... Or... Does someone already have a build setup running for the Duo2, who is willing to …

As title says, how to install image on eMMC on this board? My board works fine on TF card with every image FriendlyElec, DietPi and you here provide, but i haven't managed to make it boot from eMMC. On official Wiki there are some misleading. For Ubuntu they say to select image from eflasher and burn it on TF card. Eflasher folder has two images. Which one? Although i tried both. Anyway, if i burn boot image on TF card, should eMMC stays empty or to burn on it, say, root image? Or to burn root image on TF? I had a few attempts but no luck. Obviously. On Android, they say to insert TF card into PC and burn image on eMMC? LOL. Again should i burn any…

Hello there. I'm owner of nano pi m1 board. I want use hid usb gadget on this board, but no success. First I use prebuild image from download section. I fugured out, that the image contains android_usb gadget and it's works (i didn't go deep, but i see, that after some manipulations with files my computer see nano pi as mass storage). Ok, this shows that nanopi board can be used as device. Go next. I need to load g_hid module, but there is no such module in the default image. Ok, time to compile custom kernel (with Igor's script this is easy). I included hid usb gadget via menu. Booting and "modprobe g_hid". Failed. "No such module" turns into "No such device". Hm...…

Hello everyone, Apologies if this is not the right forum for this questions, but could not find any more appropriate one after some searching. I get an HTTP 404 when I try to access the pre-built images for the nanopi m1 plus from the board page. I know the board is EOS but for other EOS boards I can still download the images. Is there any reason why this board seems to have disappeared completely ?

Hello, I am new to Nanopi platform. I want to use nanopi m1+ as a wifi access point. How should I go after it from starting?

Greetings, I've got 2 M1 boards in front of me. The FA is running their latest distribution: http://www.mediafire.com/file/kc44mm1mdahslho/nanopi-m1_debian-jessie_4.11.2_20170905.img.zip By default the device tree for the FA has the USB controller (usb@01c19000) marked as disabled and is missing the dr_mode = "OTG" attribute. Enable the controller and Add the dr_node property and the board comes up as a mass storage device in both Windows and Linux. The board running Armbian has exactly the same device tree entries, dmesg shows the USB controller is loaded and visible with lsusb -t. When a gadget module is loaded all appears to work on…

Hello all, just joined the forum since this is my first time using Armbian. So I got a NanoPi M1 and the dvp cam500b. From what I understand this camera uses the omnivision ov5640. I am having trouble getting this thing recognized in armbian. I get /dev/video0 to be listed by adding it to /etc/modules, but if I go to access it with any software it reports back 'no such device' or to the similar effect (this includes mjpg-streamer, fswebcam, ffmpeg). Researching around I find many forum posts of people saying one must modify the 'fex' file... to which I found out this is the decompiled version of the /boot/script.bin file using the sunxi-tools/bin2fex. Thing is, wh…

Hi all, I have no luck to get wifi work on NanoPi M1 with the usb dongle RLT8188CUS. I have followed the tutorial "OPI ONE wireless success" to config. But, I don't see any "wlan0" or wifi device at all with the usb dongle plugged in. "nmtui" does not detect any wifi device as well. It appears to me that, although armbian recognizes the usb dongle, armbian does not treat it as a wlan0 device.

I recently received my kit, which consists of the Neo, heatsink, and acrylic shell. Installed Debian_jessie_default.7z with Etcher onto a Kingston SDCIT/8GBSP. PCB 1.3+ uses a more sophisticated voltage regulator than earlier revisions... The temperature is excellent so far (only 40c). I can run some more tests if someone provides instructions. So these boards do not in fact require a heavy copper plane for heat dissipation. I did use a superior heat pad rather than the one that is provided with the heatsink kit. Ideally, you would want something like a 4mm or so copper shim with good quality thermal paste applied to bo…
