What's the current status of the mainline kernel? What kind of practical restrictions are there? I've seen on the Sunxi wiki that Ethernet is still WIP. So no Ethernet? I use my Orangepi PC as a "NAS/media server/download server".

Hello! My problem is with paying for OrangePi Plus 2 (not E), but I haven't found a suitable section. Dear administrators, please fix the split if I made a big mistake. I was installed image orangepiplus/Bullseye_current (Nov 30, 2022) in eMMC. All works is normal. In armbian-config I was run Firmware (Update all packages and firmware). Afeter this the board are not loading from eMMC or external CD with current image Armbian. The Ubuntu from site orangepi.org the loading is normal. In debug-uart I see a cyclical reboot with: <0xdd>!␊ ␊ <0xea><0xfc>q<0xb9><0xf6>Core: 65 devices, 18 uclasses, devicetree: …

In the spec., it was stated that the ethernet in OPi zero is off by default. If I use its Debian server distribution, will it turn on automatically? If not, what do I need to do to turn it on? Thanks.

Hi all. I install Ubuntu_xenial_default with kernel 3.4.113 and want record video from CAM500B with ov5640 image sensor.

I'm looking to compile a kernel for Gentoo (Orange Pi Prime), but afaik the HDMI support has not been mainlined yet. Does anybody know how Armbian kernels have it? And is there more to it than just the kernel sources? Last time I tried, I had no luck getting output.

Hi Im seeking for a kernel that i can trust it does not hang. Using the old 3.4 kernel on bananian I could get my banana pi m1 more than 6 months without hangs and reboot. Now im been playing with the armbian and 4.x kernels for almost an year, and the banana pi hardly got 2 months without hangs and reboot. Could you be kind to tell me what is the kernel version with longest uptime with armbian on a banana pi? Sergio

Hi, I try working with i2s driver on last armbian (5.99 kernel 4.19.84) with nanopi neo and found trouble with I2S clock - it has very excessive jitter (see attached screen from my oscilloscope). I use small dts overlay for enable i2s and mainline i2s code without changes and with changes from codekipper, nanopi neo and neo 2 with same result, but old armbian image 5.65 (4.14.17) working without problem. I also found a mention of a similar problem on forum volumio sun8i-h3-i2s0.dts /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "allwinner,sun8i-h3"; fragment@0 { target-path = "/"; __overlay__ { pcm5102a: pcm5102a { #sound-dai-cells = <0…

Hello community armbian :). I have a trouble on orange pi plus2e armbian mainline kernel. There is no reaction of the pins after the export. echo 11 > /sys/class/gpio/export echo "out" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio11/direction echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio11/value and physical pin not responding... keeping the voltage around 1.2v, when reading the same thing. I think that the physical and virtual numbering of contacts is different. And excuse me for my english...

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.

Hello, I changed my memory card from a 8GB one to a 16GB one and I moved everything with Win32DiskImager, by reading the old one and writing to the second one. Can I expand my filesystem like on the first boot? Im running Jessie on a Orange Pi Zero. Thank you.

Hello! I asked this question here: https://github.com/zador-blood-stained/fel-mass-storage/issues/1, but I decided to ask again. Is there a way to boot the current mainline u-boot via FEL? Is it easy to support this issue? I would be happy to receive any help. Thanks, Aleksandr

Hi. Any idea about including snappy ubuntu core in the build process?

Hello, I'm running armbian on the cubieboard 2 and have noticed something that might be an unexpected behavior: when running on NAND, the nand2 partition is mounted with ordered data mode (despite the fstab configuration)!

Everytime the cubie boot, the monitor will showing "change resolution to 1440x900" How to change the cubie resolution to the lower one? or should i use monitor with higher resolution then i can change it? please advise.

Hi to you all. I've had a functional boot from USB flash drive on my OrangePi Zero and when I've updated kernel yesterday from main repository and reboot_ed boot stoped working. I've tried on another fully functional OrangePi Zero with same rom on it and still not working. I've tried to put new "virgin" image to USB flash drive and still nothing. Tried to erase spi and write it againe and still nothing. Any idea what could happened. I'll try today to get serial console to see what is going on during the boot proces.

Just started with Orange PI PC and I tried to use a KeDei LCD touchscreen V5, since I used with with my Raspberry Pi. Unfortunately the given driver (http://kedei.net/raspberry/raspberry.html) doesn't work with Armbian. Is there support in Armbian for this new (may 2016) LCD touchscreen or do I have to (re)compile the kernel myself? (not knowing where to begin...) Regards, Don

Hello everyone, Is there any utility to deal with overscan when using TVout? I'm using Armbian Legacy kernel. There is a tool called Allwinner_TVOUT_manipulator, anyone have used it?

I am running a relatively new install (few months) on a replaced microSD (RMA). Keep in mind this is a headless install. At random, usually after many days / weeks+ the orangepi appears to freeze. What I mean with freeze: - samba shares disconnect - sometimes SSH works till the password is submitted, then it times out - sometimes http works when I hard restart it - I always see a very high temp & in some logs I had seen some weird dates, so I set to write out date & temp and I got this beauty on the next freeze: Spoiler date: Sun Sep 30 13:27:03 2018 -- temp: 41.99 date: Sun Sep 30 13:28:…

Hi all, I recently bought a Banana BPI M2 Zero for a personal human-machine interaction project as this was the only (cheap) available option w.r.t. my specs (HDMI, entry-level OpenGL GPU, enough CPU power for the task). I got a version with Allwinner H3 (which in my view is good) and also read through the H3 buyer's guide. According to that guide, the CPU should be sourced by 1.3V, but to my (positive) surprise, I measured only 1.15V at the output coil (after the coil and against GND, of course) of the SY8113 regulator. However, there's certainly something not working as expected from the schematics: both, the SY8113 and the SY8089 1.2V regulators (SYSTEM+CPU…

I am trying to test the ap6212-bluetooth script in the latest desktop image for the Orange Pi Zero +2 (H5), but am having no luck... Is there something I am missing about running this script?

Hi, I can only find legacy images on the website. Is there a place to get mainline images so I can test docker? Thanks in advance. Regards, Michal

It is one of the smallest board featuring H5 soc. Since it has an on-board HDMI connector, i think it would be great to have a Desktop image for this board. Other H5 /similar boards like PC2 and Prime already have various desktops available (xenial / stretch with xfce).... Do u guys have any plan to release one in the future? and thanks a lot for the tremendous amount of effort u have put into this project :)

Hello; It was tried with armbian buster, stretch and bionic. Orange pi zero connect wpa/wpa2 networks without problems, but connect to open network. I was trying different methods and wpa_supplicant conf file (key_mgmt=NONE) and different version of armbian. It cannot connect to open network. I need a solution for this problem. Thanks.

How to turn off leds on cubietruck? I use Legacy Trusty server

Hi, I'm trying to set up an Orange Pi Zero with Armbian, so that I can use it as a Network Card (i.e. when I plug it into a computer it's automatically recognized as a Network Card). It seems there isn't enough documentation about this issue. Can anybody help me, please? Thanks in advance. Kind Regards.

Hi, I am running Armbian Jessie (4.11.6-sunxi) on Banana Pi M1. For reading and writing SD cards I use linux dd cmd on another box. I do not have a Windows system. My question is this: My SD card is a 16Gb device. With gparted I can reduce the size of the system to a partition that would easily fit on a 4Gb device. But when writing the .img file dd will still see and write an image of 16 Gb There must be a way to make an image that can be written to and booted from a smaller device to save resources on the backup disk. Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

Hello, I currently installed Opi0 plus2 h3_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.78 but when I boot up my device, red led blinks 2times then pause and repeating again. What does it mean? I have never seen this blinking red led behaviour in previous Armbian releases.

I installed the latest 5.4.8 Buster Desktop image on my Orange Pi +2e board but find the Mali drivers are (Utgard) missing or not loaded.

Very minor niggle, got a ZeroPi today and of course it will run Armbian, after doing the mandatory apt update && apt upgrade I was greeted with a banner saying xt-q8l-v1 instead of ZeroP when logging back in after rebooting for the kernel update.

Hi, I have an Orange Pi Zero 3 with Allwinner H618 (1GB RAM version). The CPU specs say up to 1.5 GHz (1512000 kHz), and it hits that fine on other distros (like official Orange Pi Ubuntu images or Debian builds).

Hello, i recently installed armbian on my newly bought Lamobo R1. Everything is working fine so far but for the onboard ethernet LEDs, they're not working as expected. The green LED on port 3 of the internal switch (also known as wan port) ist constantly on, no matter if there is a cable plugged in or not. The orange LED is always off. After some trial and error if figured out that on the other 4 ports the green LED, for the specific port, shows the current network traffic (is blinking) if the established connection is 10Base-T. If the connection is 1000Base-T, the orange LED shows the current network traffic and if the connection is 100Base-T no led is on or sh…

Hi, with the Cubieboard 1 there's a bug with the kernel inotify's option. The problem is that Minidlna uses this feature in order to update its dabatase, but since on Cubie it doesn't work, I've tried both ArchLinux Arm and Armbian, i can't have an updated db. Do you know if there's any solution in order to fix this issue? Maybe trying another kernel, different from the default linux-sunxi? Thanks for your time! Marco

Hello, I've just switched from bananian to armbian (as many others here as I've seen), and successfully finished migrating everything. I use the Banana as a little home server, NAS, sane/cups printer sharer and home cloud. I want to use docker on it, but I'm finding some difficulties to make it run. I'm currently on 4.9.12-sunxi. I've tried installing docker from the ubuntu repo but it doesn't seem to work. I've seen some topics about building a custom kernel for this, is this necessary? Did someone managed to make docker run? Thanks.

Hi, I have Cubietrauck and I installed legacy Jessie on SD card and after configuration hostapd for using it as access point only 5 devices were able to connect to my device. After search I’ve added max_num_sta=20 but it didn’t solve my problem. I tried to use other distribution like vanilla Jessie and vanilla trusty server but I had same problem. Here is my hostapd configuration: How can I change max devices connection? Is this problem relate to the wifi module and how can I fix it?

Hi, my overlays=w1-gpio spi-spidev are not working anymore since I upgraded from 4.14.84-sunxi to 4.19.13-sunxi (Banana Pi with armbian 5.70). Regarding the 1-wire protocol cat /sys/bus/w1/devices/*/w1_slave responds "No such file or directory" since the upgrade. Also regarding the spi overlay # ls /dev/spi* should result in /dev/spidev0.0 whereas kernel 4.19 says "cannot access /dev/spi*: No such file or directory". All was working fine with the 4.14 kernel. thanks in advance

Hi After reading this: "No audio driver, IR, NAND, BT, HW video, I2C and SPI untested on 4.0 or higher​" i'm not sure which kernel version should i choose. Is that "no audio driver" means that there is no HDMI audio, or no any audio including jack audio? Both kernels support the "Allwinner Security System cryptographic accelerator"? As i'm using CB2 as a headless java application server, samba fileserver, dlna server and music player daemon server, i need only jack audio from these, and of course the hw cryptographic support.

Hello, I installed last Bionic on a Orange Pi PC+. It's on EMMC. (it used to have an old Armbian Ubuntu with 3.x kernel before) Common settings (background image, GTK theme, icons, panel) are there on logout but are not saved on reboot. I saved a text file in the home user folder, it's OK. With another common user I face the same problem, with the root account settings are saved. My Linux knowledge is average, I really don't know what's wrong. Thank you Mathieu

Hi all ! I try to turn off ethernet leds on Nano Pi Neo. I don't use network-manager (which disables leds when ethernet cable is disconnected) because I need to use ifup and ifdown... I tried to see (without success) : cd /sys/class/leds cd /sys/class/net/eth0/ h3consumption -e off I know that it's possible on banapi (with a github library), is it possible on nano pi neo ? Best Regards

Am running Orange Pi Lite With Debian Stretch uname -a: Linux orangepilite 4.14.18-sunxi #24 SMP Fri Feb 9 16:24:32 CET 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux was wondering what i am missing here ?

I was wondering if I could have automount feature for every UFD or USB Hard Drives to the /media folder. As i've investigated it, it would only mount if I get to click its icon on the desktop. I'm running bananapi as my headless file/media/print server. I shared the /media folder to the network through samba and was kept wondering why I'm unable to access every flash and hard drive I'm connecting to my bananapi as it does in my Raspberry Pi (when I share its /media folder in samba). Is there anything that I could do instead of adding it to fstab and manually restarting or manually mounting it every time I connect a media to my Banana Pi server? …

Hello, In additional items of v4.1, auto system update via repository apt.armbian.com You have written and has been added, if you have upgraded from v4.0, source.list of apt does not seem to have been updated.

Hello. Thank you for your great effort. I'm using CubieTruck, and I installed Debian Jessie(Armbian, of course), and make it boot from Nand. It was successful. However, if I insert sd card into the slot, CubieTruck won't boot. Isn't it possible to boot from nand while sd card is inserted? I want mount the SD card to /home directory. (Using USB slot works.) Thanks in advance!

the tft is working well on stock orangepi image but when I try the prebuilt armbian images or build it myself it look like this my dts file: 35Lcd.dts

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 ,

Hello, I have been looking for days without finding an answer, so here goes. I want to know if there is a way of turning on the banana pi, without using the onboard switch. Because the Banana pi r1 doesn't power on automatically when powered by the battery connector. And i don't want to solder wires on the pwr button, but i would also like to avoid using the usb connections because of the lower power throughput. Thank you in advance for the information.

Hi all and many thanks to armbian team - it is a great distro. I installed armbian to my orange pi pc (just pc, not pc+) and it works. TV out works too. But no one of my usb wi-fi adapters are supported by default kernel 3.4. This is why I go to "kernel" tab at page https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-pc/and follow instructions to switch to development kernel. Also I follow instruction at "Nighty releases" tab in order to get the newest versions of software. After installing new kernel I edit symlik /boot/script.bin to point to "bin/orangepipc.bin" instead of default "bin/orangepipcplus.bin" and reboot. Orange pi boots successfully and I can log in via ssh, but tv sign…

I have a "Banana PRO" One USB disk, 2TB with three partitions in ext4, the first partition is mounted (hdb1), the other two are not mounted. One USB disk, 4TB with a single ext4 partition mounted (hdc1). One SATA SSD disk with a single ext4 partition unmounted (hda1). Several aesthetic considerations: After the upgrade, reboot and login, the welcome screen and 100% battery!!! Hurrah!!! It seems that the MMC is 9% occupancy and ... oh! my hdb disk has only one partition? ah no, only reads hdb1. And the other two disks? I have two mounted partitions but only shows one. Turn off the system with the poweroff order and boot from the power button again, the battery is down to…

I've updated to the latest kernel code, rebuilt and I I can now see /dev/video when I call "modprobe ov5640; modprobe vfe_v4l2" after booting into the nanopi.

Dear all, I am using armbian Mainline Debian Jessie 4.9.7 and 4.9.12 on a Banana Pi Pro (A20). Coming from legacy and fex, I came a long way learning a lot about Device Trees, Overlays, etc. the last 2 weeks. I even compiled some dev kernels to experiment. I currently struggle with with the OTG port. I have two devices on the primary slots and need to get the OTG in host mode to attach my third device. I've read that the OTG is not providing 5V to the device. Therefore, I use Pin4 5V DC and Pin6 GND of the 40Pin header. It works well when connecting Device #3 on USB 1 or 2. But not on OTG. I used dmesg to track devices. Is there an…

Good afternoon. I have an Orange Pi One and I need to achieve the maximum boot speed. The ultimate goal is a kiosk mode and the only application on the QT. The network is not needed. The simplest way will probably be to change the run level to the single mode, but with this there are problems. Any tips, suggestions, experiences?

I just tried out kernal 4.1.4 and whenever I try to boot (first run) I get a kernal panic just before the automatic reboot. After the reboot, the same process occurs. Tried Debian wheezy, Debian jessie and Ubuntu Trusty kernal 4.1.4, build 5.8.2015

Hi, I'm a noob with this mini Pc's, but I think that I don't have doing anything wrong.

Hi , I want to try out a project for a friend of mine and use an orange pi zero (for now , stronger model might replace it later) to do the following : have an outdoor ip cam connect with wifi on the orange pi zero Save videos on motion detect on pi`s memory Upload saved videos to a remote server (could be ftp) eg. every midnight with internet access via ethernet Keypoints : ipcamera must connect with pi`s wifi pi will connect to a router (via ethernet) a couple hours per day so the setup must not be internet based or with any extra equipment except the pi and the ipcam My thought of doing it : …

Hi, I read the docs but could not find out what to download to get a headless server. Getting Started says: "mainline: headless server, light desktop operations" In mainline there are 2 downloads for server (Debian, Ubuntu) and one for desktop (Ubuntu). I do not need a desktop, thus I do not want to waste space, RAM and CPU on anything related to it. May I ask, what to download or if there is no headless version what to do to remove the desktop-features alltogether? Thank you very much. Stephan

Dear friends, I have a problem with the ethernet connection of my orange pi plus 2e. The connection was working normally and stopped, I can only access through the wi-fi. I already researched it and found no solution. Open the connections and pressing ifupdown (eth0) the following error appeared: (1) Creating object for path 'org / freedesktop / NetworkManager / ActiveConnection / 14' failed in libnm-glib. Is there a connection to this error with a lack of ethernet connection?

Hi Did a fresh install of Armbian_5.38_Orangepiplus_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.14.img on a Orange Pi Plus. Efter reboot, I did a apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, then rebooted...

I can do a "ifconfig wlan0 up", which brings up the interface - but so far I have had no success in configuring the wlan0 interface, neither by armbian-config nor nmtui I have even tried to edit /etc/network/interfaces and add: allow-hotplug wlan0 auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wpa-ssid "RG47C" wpa-psk "Secret!!!" but I am still not able to get it up and running.

Dear mainline developers, I'm writing a (mainline) SPI driver for de ads131 from TI which I would like to make use of DMA, on the orangePIzero H2, zero+ H3/H5 and nanopi NEO2+. On the 4.13.3-sunxi kernel (armbian 5.33), this works fine, the driver is automatically loaded when the associated devicetree overlay is loaded, and the DMA can be allocated. However, when I compile the same driver for newer kernels (4.14.17-sunxi, 4.14.39-sunxi, 4.14.67-sunxi armbian 5.59), the dma allocation no longer appears to work, while the SPI part of the devicetree is identical except for the phandle (checked with dtc -I fs /sys/firmware/devicetree/base on newest 4.14.67-sunxi kerne…

Hello! I try to connect to OrangePiPC by serial console. I tried using UART1 (add overlay & switch console to ttyS1), UART3 (ttyS3) and ttyS0 (debug port).
