I got an Orange Pi zero with expansion board and tried many images , the original ones, h3droid and armbian legacy...by the way, all the systems show the image in a looping on my tv(rolling from bottom to top). Is there something to fix it or any reason that can cause it?

Dear All, I need to install a MongoDB due to install unifi controller. Base on the documatation (UniFi - How to Install & Update via APT on Debian or Ubuntu) version 2.9.10 is recommend . You can find the latest installation guide for Ubuntu here, and Debian here. Both does not work. I've got the following error message when performing "apt-get update", I now this is the MonoDB version 3.4, but I got the same message on the recommended version. To be honest, I'm not a debian expert :-( Thank you for your assistance BR Patrick

I'm trying to use armbian on orange pi one, and it does not start. Previously I used the armbian, however I needed to format the card, now I am putting the same version of armbian 5.25 server and desktop does not work, I tried version 5.35 and tbm does not start, the non-image card does not light any led. However, when using both debian xfce and ubuntu xfce for orange pi one of orangepi.org, the board called displayed video and is working.

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…

Hello, I want to use for my domotic a USB Everspring sa413 (Z-Wave modem based on ZM5304), but this device is not detected on Armbian with my Orange Pi Zero h2+. https://fccid.io/D87-ZM5304-U/User-Manual/User-Manual-pdf-2052478 Normally, I think this dongle is use like CDC/ACM device but I don't understand what wrong because ACM module is loaded.

My Orange Pi Prime freezes when compiling anything major (Ruby, CPython). It completely locks up halfway through. No error or kernel panic from serial either. HDMI output goes black. I've tried: Better cooling, different brand SD cards (Sandisk Ultra, Samsung Evo from reputable suppliers), different power supplies, and even disabling swap. Tried my Lab Bench Power Supply at 5.00, 5.10, 5.20 and 5.35 volt, volt drop is about 0.1 volt measured at the board, and power usage at 400-700mA depending on the load. Tried `stress` in all sorts of configurations for times up to 1 hour, this does not crash the board. Iozone also does not crash the …

Hi! How to install postgresql-10 in ARMBIAN 5.36 (BananaPi)?

I was configuring onboard wifi of OPI ZERO, rev. 1.1 with the provided tool armbian-config. On one board it went just OK, on the second it froze, so I manualy powercycled the board. After that the board does not boot. I connected the serial console and here is the output I got: U-Boot SPL 2017.09-armbian (Nov 20 2017 - 02:53:16) DRAM: This is my first time troubling with u-boot, so I have no idea what this means, but it should give me more output. I will try to look, if there is 1.5V at the 1_5V pad.

I got an Orange Pi PC with Armbian Ubuntu Desktop installed. It runs perfectly fine. 1080p resolution, sound, ethernet, browsing, what-have you. It can even play x265 videos flawlessly (which is why I got it for as my RPi3 can't). Highest temp is 46C so far (with or without a heat sink and no fan). Anyway, I've updated and upgraded and then installed Kodi. My media is on my NAS, so I input my SMB info, and it connects fine. But as it reads the media, Kodi just shuts off on its own. No crash report or anything. It just closes and I'm back on the desktop. Re-opening it starts Kodi up for a sec and then closes itself. Deleting the user folder under a Kodi directo…

Hi. I've been using my Cubietruck for some time now without any issues. It is not directly connected to the outside world and is only used for some home automation. It boots via SD -> the SSD and has an internal battery as UPS. Really happy with it. Last year I migrated from Wheezy to Jessi so now I am at: ARMBIAN Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 3.4.109-sunxi I still receive the updates via ap-get update && upgrade, however should I be updating major like kernel? As this thing is used for home automation I am not looking forward to large down times. ;-) tnx for your honest responses.

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 use Orange Pi Zero + 4 ports USB hub + CM108 USB-Audio cards with mic-in. All by default. Each mic is captured with sipmle commands like: arecord -v -r 44100 -c 1 -D "hw:CARD=Device_1,DEV=0" -f S16_LE > mic1.wav When 3 cards capturing simultaneous all working well. But if I start capturing with 4th card simultaneous I get two cards with crackling recorded audio. I even can see that arecord saves less data from these two cards (file size is less than with 3 cards). No error/warning provided anywhere (dmesg, syslog, arecord). Moreover, if I stops recording from one card - it becomes normal fo…

Hi, First, i'am french, excuse my bad english... I have a problem with my orangepi zero using a bme280 weather sensor with i2c. (I have 2 sensors) After long search and try, i've found the way to make this sensor working with the orange pi zero, by reading the datasheet where it's indicated that you must put CSB to Vdd to select i2c interface. !!! - I never wired this pin to my rapsberry pi and it always work , never see in any tuto too!!!

In this post tkaiser says disabling HDMI and the GPU on H3 boards can reduce power consumption by 200mW. Is it possible to do this on a headless Orange Pi Zero 2+ H5? I don't believe I can use h3consumption or edit FEX files because I'm on the H5 mainline kernel. I tried setting monitor=none in armbianEnv.txt, but I didn't notice any appreciable difference using an inline USB power meter.

Hello, Just started on the latest Neo2 Ubuntu (Armbian_5.34.171121_Nanopineo2_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.13.14) as we were tired trying to get around the challenges of the Ubuntu Core provided by FriendlyARM. Have enabled SPI we think (armbian-config->system/hardware/spi-spidev) and rebooted, but even after full power cycle we don't see anything in /dev/spi*. Is there anything special/additional we need to do to get SPI working (which we know does from our Ubuntu Core build). Thanks Rob

I have been searching the net trying to find out how to set up the WiFi interface on an Orange Pi or a Raspberry Pi 3B as an access point. I have to have an access point for a project I have in hand. I found the instructions by Lim Han Yang but they just failed entirely on two out of three candidate boards with the third, an Orange Pi PC Plus, producing a point that is visible to an Android tablet but refused to authenticate. I tried the create_ap procedure from github but that crashed on all three boards when dnsmasq hung. I tried ‘armbian_config’ on the Orange Pi PC Plus which was running the appropriate Armbian image. That didn’t do anything usable. Reasonin…

Hi guys, I've searched for some days now, but couldn't find any infos. My problem is: If I want to boot my Orange Pi Zero without Ethernet, it just wont start. It seems like it is waiting for me to put in the cable. This can't be normal, can it? I ask, because, what am I supposed to do if I like my device to connect exclusively through WiFi? Or connect to nothing at all, till I need some type of connection. For me, it is important to connect only through WiFi at the moment. The OS's I've tried: Armbian Debian Jessie "mainline" and "legacy", no difference between them. Thanks, Pyro

Hello, I'm new to this forum and Armbian. I've got an Orange Pi Zero 2+ H5 running the Armbian_5.34.171121_Orangepizeroplus2-h5_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.13.14 image. It's connected to a device via UART1 using pin 1 for 3.3V, 6 for GND, and 8/10 for TX/RX. I've been trying unsuccessfully to use pyserial in a Python script to read data from the ttyS* devices, but I can't seem to cat anything from them either. I've tried moving the device to a RaspberryPi Zero W and I'm able to read the output from ttyS0 successfully. I did have to run raspi-config to enable the UART on the RPi, but I'm not aware of an equivalent on the OPi. I believe I added the uart1 overlay to my…

Hi all, I'm currently running Armbian 5.36 Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 4.11.1-sun50iw2.

I've performed apt update / apt upgrade since however cat /proc/version still reports the version as that which I manually built back in June. Fast forward to today and I'd like to try out some traffic shaping tc rules but I'm running into some difficulty, which is making me doubt if my kernel has the support needed for iproute2.

I'm running a dockerized VDR server on the BPi, still on bananian. Every time I installed armbian, I had to discover that video playback on remote devices started to stutter. Without knowing about the details, my guess is that this is owed to the fact that the mainline kernel build does not feature hw video decoding. (Though I'm not sure whether bananian had it actually.) Unfortunately I cannot use the legacy kernel build, as docker is not supported on that platform. Is there any chance to kind of enable hw video acceleration on the mainline build? I saw some posts here and there in the forum on that topic, but none seemed really having solved it d…

Hello there! Its nice to meet everyone and thank you so much for having me! I have this great project i'm working on involving 30 orange pi zeros. You see SD cards are expensive when you need to buy 30 of them so I have been trying for about a month now to make armbian work without the SD card. The idea is to boot into the os get a few things running and then remove the card and boot another pi. I have tried creating a ramfs mount and copying/mounting (what I believe are) all the requirements and then using chroot. But that doesnt work at all. I'm imagining that outside of chroot services are still running and once they cant write to some file…

Dear Armbian community, not sure if this the right place for this thread, please feel free to move it. I'm testing the Debian Installer Buster (alpha release) after seeing that there is (partial) support for the 5 there is (partial) support for the•Orange PI zero (H2+) and other boards. It seems that the u-boot packages in Debian miss the u-boot build for the Orange Pi zero and support for the Ethernet controller as it seems it is not the mainline kernel yet and seems to be needing some work in order to be available in kernel 4.15. Armbian already includes the u-boot build and has support for the Ethernet controller of the Orange…

Hello, I'm a bit confused about the documentation, to be precise the hardware notes > Allwinner Generic > reconfigure video output part. It lists various options regarding video output. Then it states Now I see, inside boot, a "armbianEnv.txt" and the mentioned "boot.cmd". However, the default boot.cmd doesn't contain a saveenv line. Also, the head of the boot.cmd clearly states Can someone lighten me up on the relationship between the files armbianEnv.txt and boot.cmd, and why I should/shouldn't edit boot.cmd? I'm running the mainline kernel on a Banani Pi Pro, if this is relevant. Thanks in advance

Hi, On upgrading to 5.35 Ubuntu Xenia default 3.4.113 I am unable to get DVI video working, I am presented with a pink screen. Monitor is a 1280x1024 dvi connected via HDMI-DVI converter cable. I am configuring this with h3disp -m 1280x1024 -d. I have rolled back to a 5.30 image and everything works as it should. Possibly a bug? How can I upgrade everything in the distro without breaking the video again? Thanks.

Hi there, I'm using a Cubietruck with Ubuntu-Server 16.04.3 legacy. To make ssh-login more secure I changed to public-key and disabled login with user/password. Everything works fine, but at login I can't see the welcome screen any longer. Not a big problem, but it would be nice to get help. Thx!

[WIP] Schematics Pros: - board vendor actively participates (listens to the community, provides information including schematic and cares about correctness, tries to bridge developer community and chip vendor) - board vendor take care of their board configuration and submit patches - board vendor provides dev samples - yet another A64 - good powering method Cons: - none specific to this board

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…

Looking to use this in a production assembly (months away...) While testing, have found that g_multi does not work. g_serial and g_mass_storage work fine... How do we get this added to the list of items to be fixed?

I am trying to use an Iono Pi Board from SFERA Labs on an OrangePI PC Plus. https://www.sferalabs.cc/product/iono-pi-board/ I was able to get i2C working so that I could connect to some devices like a temp sensor and accelerometer. My issue is pretty basic at this point. I am simply trying to blink the green light on the board. According to docs, the onboard LED is connected to GPIO7. So through looking at documentation I was able to decipher that GPIO7 is physical pin 7 on an RPi. I am using pyA20.gpio. Accordingly Pin 7 = PA6. However when I set PA6 high the light does not come on. Am I missing something? Anyone have expe…

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, I have a problem with the wifi connection of the Orange Pi Lite when I connect a HDMI device and switch it on. It is not possible to get the wifi working. I have the same auth. error message like many others here too. But the wifi works well without HDMI device or when the device is off. I have tested the last debian and ubuntu server version and mainline. Thanks for helping

Hello, I am using OPi Zero with Armbian. From computer (Win or Ubuntu) or from other device with Android I am sending data to OPiZero device via LAN (many MBs/s). Now I would like to use for the same data communication via Opi's USB-OTG (because LAN has high latency). I read about g_serial and g_ether. First question - I think g_ether mode is the best for my case (because of speed). Am I right? I tried to find some basic tutorial, how to prepare Opi OTG for this. Is there any tutorial for this please? I would like to connect Opi with OTG to any Android device and my app on Android device (or Windows, or Linux) should be able to send data via OTG …

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 all! Kinda "mayday-mayday" I recently upgraded Armbian to 5.35 and after reboot it gone. After long investigation i figured out, that it boots ONLY when HDMI cable connected to even standby tv. This is my home server and it works nonstop in headless mode.. I am on kernel 4.13.16-sunxi, rootfs on sata SSD. I guess something cannot be detected with uboot. How can I fix this ?

Hi, I understand that powering the Orange Pi Zero through the USB OTG interface is convenient but suboptimal due to low power, especially if you have other devices attached to the board. I've seen recommendations that powering the board directly via the 5V and GND on the GPIO from a clean and sufficiently powerful power supply is preferable. I know in theory what needs to be done but I don't know how to physically connect to the board. The GPIO is a 2x13 row of conductive holes in the board. (Is there a name for this sort of thing, by the way?) Say I have two wires, 5V and GND. How do I physically attach a wire to one a hole? Do I need to …

I found a problem about ethernet port leds in mainline kernel, legacy kernel is fine. the ethernet port has two leds, one is link-up (green), the another one is act (orange). In Normally, the green led keep light on when cable plugged in. And the orange led keep blinking when data coming or outgoing. but in mainline kernel (4.13.16-sunxi / linux-image-next-sunxi 5.35) ethernet port leds REVERSED. the green led keep light off when cable plugged in but light on when cable plugged out. I found that problem both in a new bought opizero and an old opizero. here is a short video record

Hi! Could you please clarify, is there a way to increase default limitations for max cpu freq (H5) on Orange Pi Prime? As i understand, according to driver (cpufreq-dt): /etc/default/cpufrequtils is a bit less restrictive: Is this a driver limitation ? Or there is a way to increase cpu-freq, but it's not used by default ? ( ... and why, if it is so ?)

Just got compiled a new OPi PC, Ubuntu desktop, Armbian 5.36 with mainline 4.14.3 kernel, image. The on-board codec sound though is just at a whisper level no matter what, it looks its there but barely heard at all. Can we fix that?

For example, via custom usb cable etc. I need micro-usb male / micro usb male cable (OPI <-> 3d printer board) + supply power somehow. PS. i don't like to add external usb hub.

Hi all, I'm trying to access the GPIO from python context and I absolutely need to do it in a rootless way. (WSGI apache module) I'm a newbie and noticed that this is the library command causing the error inside the python library: Code: Select all fd = open("/dev/mem", O_RDWR); I do have /dev/mem on my armbian distro and clearly the access to /dev/mem is root limited, what's worst I don't have /dev/gpiomem Is there a way to create /dev/gpiomem so I can add the apache user to gpio group and solve this? Do I need to configure and compile a kernel by myself? please help me, thank you

Hi, do you remember my issue with 2 opi1? Well, today I burned again an armbian image with etcher and connect either of the two opi one, to a usb-ttl converter (an arduino). ok, when I put the power on the result is what you see in the attach... the two freeze on DRAM: always. the power is a xiaomi power adapter 5v2a (double checked with a multimeter) and a handmade cable (checked with the multimeter too, 4.8v/4,9v always) so...can I finally tell that my two board are faulty? or there is something I could do? thank you in advance

Hi, I've been playing around with a OPi Win+ which is aint bad but full support seems a while off ... I'm looking for a quad core, 2G, good wifi with external antenna and this seems to fit the requirements. I dont care too much about hdmi but if it works all the better. I was just wondering what current owners thought of it. Can the internal wifi do AP mode and will it do dual modes ... hostapd-8188 will create wlan0 & wlan1 so that you both connect to an AP and be an AP. Google doesnt show much about 8189ETV Given that the armbian download shows it with a legacy kernel but stable I expect that everything 'works' ... …
