Hello, I'd like to disable the yellowish and green ethernet port LEDs on Orange Pi Zero. At night, it becomes quite shiny and is really disturbing. Any methods to do this on the software end? If not, I'm planning to apply some nail polish :-/ Thanks in advance,

Hello guys, apparently there is a new product in the orangepi lineup. It is the PC+ (PC Plus), which has 8gb EMMC and a Wifi chip onboard. The rest of the features seems to be the same as the plain OrangePI PC. The new SBC can't be found on the orangepi official site, but it is available on aliexpress: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Orange-Pi-PC-Plus-ubuntu-linux-and-android-mini-PC-Beyond-Raspberry-Pi-2/1553371_32668618847.html

Hello. There is a method to activate the VGA output in the SD image? I explain better, I want to replace the stock Debian Image that came with the Olimex Board, but the system is on a distant location where there is no computer, I need to swap the SD card and have the system booting and usign the console of the machine to perform all the remaining operation. I need to have the SD Card image that boot with VGA output, the rest of the operation coulbe done with the machine, (I nedd to configure the wifi and connet to the router and then in internet) I have read a topic that said that i nedd to modify the fex file, but this is feasible with my computer running Li…

Hello! Can you help me: Orange Pi Zero 256 and 512 with power supply 2A hangs after try printing over usbip as server with CANON CAPT printer. I had checked on Armbian Ubuntu nightly kernel 4.10+ and Arch linux with kernel from distributors. On client I had try Ubuntu server 16.04 x64 with mainline kernel 4.10 and 17.04 i386 with distributor's kernel and CUPS. Can I local debug this situation? Or may be else how? That kind logs is needed for probably open bug in kernel? Or may test this situation between non-ARM system, but for what if specific ARM code may be exist? I already asked maintainer of usbip subsystem - he adviced me trying m…

I downloaded and booted successfully from the Debian Jessie image available on http://www.armbian.com/olimex-lime-a10/ for the LIME. Now I'd like to install an image to NAND, but there's currently no 3.4 kernel version available for the A10. (I've also checked the mirror). I was wondering (before breaking my neck trying to build it) whether this was simply due to no image having been built yet, or due to some circumstances making it impossible to run a 3.4 on the LIME A10? Thanks

I've got a NanoPi Neo Core 2 and a NanoPi Neo Air. It bothered me that the USB OTG did not function in host mode. Turns out, the included Armbian .dtb's don't have the parts necessary to define the regulator which pushes power back to a client device when the board needs to run in OTG host mode. You can see the regulator on page 8 of the schematic http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/images/6/6b/NanoPi_NEO_Core2-V1.0_1707.pdf I found an upstream patch at https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9921097/ which defined the missing parts for a Neo Plus 2. I put the relevant parts into an overlay dts file (attached) that can be loaded wit…

Hi, I just bought an RTC module for my Banana Pi M2, but when scanning for i2c devices I noticed that there are no i2c device nodes in /dev using the latest Armbian version (5.15). Is there any way to get it working? Modprobing i2c-dev or any other modules I've found didn't help Thanks in advance!

hi, having power problems with the two usb ports of my pcduino3 nano, i checked the schematics and it appears the otg port is not powered by the USB_5V rail but directly from the VCC_5V input rail, so i was hoping it would solve my problem. Unfortunately it seems the port acts as an OTG port by default and i can't find a way to restore the otg host mode as advertised in the vanilla kernel features. The documentation only details how to use various OTG modes but not how to revert it back to host. I'm using xenial vanilla image. thank you.

Hello. I have installed debian based armbian with mainline kernel to my orange pi zero. And it seems like there is no i2c adapter present. As far I know it should work in mainline. Does anyone have a clue?

Hello, do you guys havea proper device configuration file for crosscompiling Qt apps to Armbian on my opi one? Couldn't find one online and the multitude of flags frankly confuse the heck out of me.

Hello all, I'm trying to revive my old OPIZ + cheap expansion board. I've tried all recent images available but I couldn't get it to work.

Hi guys! I am making a separated network to connect my OPi3 to my old notebook to run some codes of my research. So, the problems is with ethernet connector in Orange Pi 3 that when I connect the cable from OPi3 to my switch LEDs just flash slow and in big intervals. When I try to ping from OPi3 to computer the ping just happens after big time later. I verify the cable and the switch with other devices (my personal notebook and my notebook from work). Everything is ok and running well. One thing blow my mind: when I connect cable from OPi3 directly to my notebook the LEDs of ethernet of OPi3 works normally but in the armbian the networks not alway…

I have few of i2c devices that was successfully tested working with RPi Zero W (Tiny RTC, BME280), but no one is visible to NanoPi Neo Air board with Armbian.

I will use a orangepi PC2 as openhab server. Arbian 25.2 kernel 6.6.62 minimal.img is installed. The orangepi is connected with an ethernet cable to the router, but is not visible in the list of connected devices. So I suppose he does not make connection. I want to access the orangepi by putty on my PC but as long he is not online, connection is not possible. Led's on the ethernet connector ar flashing. What do I wrong ?

Hi Igor, is there a reason why the "killall" binary is missing in /usr/bin? Some of our applications use this file to kill servers... Can you add it in the next version? Thanks. Steffen

hi, i'm trying to run docker on an orange pi +2E, using armbian xenial well, using default legacy kernel, i can see /dev/spi* and /dev/i2c* and the like BUT i can't have docker-ce running with this kernel... so i swapped to the DEV kernel, now i've setup docker-ce but lost completely the hw support... which is the best setup to have both, so i can pass local hw devices to docker containers and have access to gpio and serial? thanks

Hi, I'm running fine my Orange Pi PC+ with an external HDD since many years and decided to switch to an 1Tb SSD recently. SSD enclosure has it's own power supply. After few hours/days my OPi is not responding using SSH, and ethernet adapter is like frozen. Unpluging the ethernet cable generaly resolve the problem. What could it be related to ?

Just a quick question due to having just updated and rebooted my Cubietruck.... I was running 5.38 mainline Stretch, but I see that armbian-firmware 5.45 was installed over 5.38... so shouldn't the welcome screen now be saying "Welcome to ARMBIAN 5.45" instead of "Welcome to ARMBIAN 5.38" still? Or is that package not the one that determines the Armbian 'version'? Maybe a better question would be what would update /etc/armbian-release ? The update process was otherwise smooth and doesn't seem to have rise to any nasty surprises . I also look forward to trying out the pineH64 image since I see that has just made a big jump, as well as th…

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.…

Hi, Is there any instruction available for upgrading a orange pi+ 2e from stretch to buster? I have found Jessie to stretch instructions. Can I use them? Change .list files stretch to buster? Do I need to uninstall any packages? What packages in that case? Thanks

Hi there, I want to migrate system on OPi PC+ from 32GB uSD card to 16GB card. System is small enough to fit on 16GB, but too large for 8GB eMMC (amazingly fast according dd). How to do it? My idea is: - copy (raw, using dd) first 8192 sectors from 32GB to 16GB, - then remove partition (32GB) and recreate it with 16GB size, format using same EXT filesystem, - copy (on another computer, or "simple" Armbian installed on eMMC) partition contents using rsync. Will it work? Will there be no issue with different UUID of new partition?

Hi all, I'm working with a BPI-P2 board. I installed the last Armbian version for BPI-M2 as the two boards are basically the same except the RJ45 connector and the eMMC. I installed it on an SD card, and everythig worked perfectly. Now I need to put the OS on the eMMC and then completely remove the SD card, but I'm struggling. The default Armbian for BPI-M2 is not intended to support eMMC, so I'm not surprised that with this version the eMMC dosn't show up. So I tried to modify the dtb and enable the eMMC nodes, and then reboot. Here the changes I made: mmc@1c10000 { reg = < 0x1c10…

Hello, First of all, I did check/tried anything i could find on similar issues, for similar SBCs Main issue: only 2/4 USB ports are powered, but they don't recognize any device (keyboard, mouse, memory stick), although, if i plug in an USB hub, it lights up. I also tried an Android and and an Ubuntu LXDE, same problem. What bothers me is that mouse and keyboard worked with the original Android that came pre-installed on the board.

Hi , I'm using orange pi lite (H3) and armbian xenial desktop. When I plug in my adata 8GB flash drive armbian couldn't find it. What should I do?

Hello, After looking on the forum and on the internet I am turning to you. Here is my problem: armbian is currently running on an SD card and I would like to put it on the eMMC memory of my orange Pi 3 (8gb). When I run the sudo nand-sata-install script it offers me to install eMMc on my memory but tells me that the partition is too small. 8go seems largely sufficient to install armbian. You should know that this orange Pi already contains linux firmware in its internal memory. I figured this was due to the fact that maybe this version of armbian didn't support emmc memory, so I tried with the focal version, the buster version and the bionic version…

It's not a matter of my asounrc, I confirmed it also with speaker-test. I suppose it's a hardware issue, right? BTW the right and left channel are inverted (and that could be a driver issue).

Hi, I installed armbian onto eMMC. Frankly, I expected better results. Please anybody confirm what I understood. 1. The sequence reading speed is 70MBytes/s. 2.

What utility and where to get to benchmark disks well? 2. Will USB SSD perform with better performance than eMCC? Thanks a lot in advance and hope to see this in the FAQ. Dmitry

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/

I installed Armbian onto a reliable 16GB class 10 SD card, put it into an Orange Pi 3 with a 5v 3000 mA power supply (not a phone charger) and I've bumped into this error.. ALERT! /dev/mmcblk0p1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell! The armbianmonitor -u command was not found so I had to take a photo of the computer screen. I'm not sure what is going on here and I couldn't find someone who had this error on an Orange Pi 3 before. If anyone has some advice I'd love to hear it.

Hi There, I hope I posted this in the correct forum. We run a lot of distros on a given "disk" or "sdcard" (or whatever). We call our system "Boot-Crazy". Here goes: The partition starts with a small boot partition containing the initial boot parameters, configuration, and a pointer to the partition holding the root file system we want to boot. The boot partition is followed by some number of other partitions, like this: [bOOT]-[sWAP]-[COMMON]-[COPYOF-DISTO-1-BOOT]-[DISTO-1-ROOT-FILE-SYSTEM]-[COPYOF-DISTO-2-BOOT]-[DISTO-2-ROOT-FILE-SYSTEM]... Armbian (as downloaded for the BananaPi-M2) is simply one large partition, like this: [armbia…

Hi, I have a problem to comunicate with sim800l via UART3 or any other UART. Is there way to activate UART3 on Linux PiOne 4.14.18-sunxi kernel if it is not already activated. I could find DTB files but I do not know how to view them or transfer to DTS and read/modify them to se if there could be a problem. I'm using pins 8 and 10 for UART3 on 40Pin header and try to comunicate with putty and screen over /dev/ttyS3 but no luck. Any idea what is going on? Sim800L works fine over pl2303.

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…

I recently got an Orange Pi Zero 3W, and I noticed that the official Ubuntu image is still based on the sunxi BSP stack, using the sun60iw2-6.6.98 kernel, while the bootloader is also using an older version of U-Boot. Right now, I’m wondering whether it would be feasible to use AI agents to help compile an Armbian image for the Orange Pi Zero 3W with a mainline kernel, while still keeping the old vendor U-Boot for compatibility. Has anyone here experimented with a similar approach or have any good suggestions or ideas? I also really hope the official team can eventually provide a proper Armbian image for the Orange Pi Zero 3W, because I’ve run into quite a few i…

Hi all, I've one minor issue with my Lamobo R1. I've to set the coherent_pool to > 256KiB to get my USB DVB device working. But every time I set the coherent_pool to e.g. 2M and regenerate the boot.scr the device gets in an endless boot loop (starting uboot - starting kernel - changes resolution and starts to load drivers - but then crashes with graphic errors and starts all over again). Is there something I can do against this? I've compiled the v3.0 with Jessie 3.4.107 with following kernel paramters configured (and sunxi uboot v2015.04): MEDIA_SUPPORT=m VIDEO_DEV=m SOUND=m GMAC_FOR_BANANAPI=y CMA=y CMA_SIZE_MBYTES=16 Greetings, Oliver

You know in Waynes World when the boys went to the Alice Cooper concert and got to meet Alice Cooper (they were his biggest fans)..... All they could say was "We're not Worthy.... We're not Worthy". That is the way I feel after downloading and installing the Jessie version of Armbian for my Olimex Micro. My hat is off to you.... Great Job!!!! It blows that awful SD I got from Olimex away..... I really want to see your desktop now.....

Hi, I've not much experience on linux, so I want to ask some questions I don't find enough or helpful information getting an overview how things work. Not really an concrete question. My goal is to run an 10.1 LVDS Display with silent boot and CAN-Bus on an BananaPi Pro. The SoC Allwinner A20 seems to support this, the board has an connector for this kind of Display. After flashing an SD with the image for BananaPi Pro and successfully booting from it, I read the Armbian Documentation. But I don't getting an overview, how the boot and configuration of u-Boot works. After "googleing" I understand the boot-process like this: Armbia…

I'm on the Olimex Teres running the newish Armbian Ubuntu 20.04 and I'm having a lot of trouble with the system intermittently freezing or slowing. Kernel 5.4.43 . I have a video of the issue and an image of the drive. The system isn't online to sync clock and dates may be skewed by some days. My usual routine is to boot the system into multi-user, run asciinema, run tmux, and then edit files with vim inside both. The issue starts after a bit. CPU and I/O usage stay low during the delays in responsiveness. Sorry if I am kinda irritated and frustrated in the video. I've been dealing with a lot of issues. I'm curious what systems the maintaine…

Hi friends, need for your advice and experience. How can i disable а boot from sd card after moving Armbian(latest vesion) to EMMC? My board is Orange Pi Plus 2e. I would like to use sd card in Armbian, but a boot terminated each time when a card is inserted. Any advice or a link? THANK YOU!

Hey there, after quite a while laying around in a box my Cubietruck finally came to life again. I downloaded the latest Xenial Vanilla Server from http://www.armbian.com/cubietruck/and set it all up. So far I'm quite happy having Wifi running. Though there are a few questions left. - I chose vanilla as i'm going to use the cubietruck headless and don't need video accel. It will be part of a 3d printer. Do I have any chance to get NAND support running? I guess not so I wonder if it's a good idea to keep running from a micro sd card or will I run into problems? I don't need really big I/O Action so performance wise I should be okay. - I see some brcmfmac error …

I've been away from armbian for a few months and came back to build a new project with my orange pi one but the nightly/recent mainlines builds seem to have stopped. I need a mainline kernel, and can grab one that's a few months old, but I wanted to be sure they haven't been moved. I'm not complaining! Just asking. With the number of boards available with armbian there has to be a lot of overhead doing nightly builds with few users, so it's not too surprising to see a change. I looked thru the sticky notes, but could not find a relevant post. Thanks!

After a long time of happyness I got careless and did an apt-get upgrade on one of the OrangePiPcPlus, and I my Eizo FlexScan S1921 Monitor does not sync anymore. I need a Resolution of 1280*1024 at 60 Hz with a pll_video of 432 Mhz. I tried to reselect -m33 on h3disp but this did not change anything. Is h3disp even supported anymore? Have there been changes to the legacy kernel or the way resolution is selected?

I'm trying to make a master image to install to some NanoPI Neo boards. I have everything running fine from micro SD card. I used armbian-config to flash from SD to the eMMC and it boot and works. Now I'm looking for a way to flash the eMMC from command line in an automatic fashion, after looking for other threads in the forum I found about command nand-sata-install but it has a GUI and no --help parameter, so I guess it is not the exact program I have to use. I tested using dd command to copy the disk, but since there is this u-boot thing I think it is not just a standard disk copy because it failed (maybe my problem). My final idea is to have a master SD …

I am running Armbian Bionic with Linux Linux 5.4.45-sunxi on an OrangePi PC Plus board. It is running HomeAssistant and a small NodeJS service. Everything is working great, however recently some random shutdowns started. I started investigating and here are my findings: I was unable to SSH or ping the device (it is connected via WIFI) so I connected to the serial pins, but that didn't work either until manual reboot. /var/log/syslog file starts with Aug 12 13:17:04 localhost kernel: [ 0.000000] Booting Linux on physical CPU 0x0 so it looks like the log from before the shutdown disappeared. last -x command only returns: ogrevan…

Hello, My BananaPi board doesn't boot after apt update & apt upgrade. I didn't have any problems until now. At first I suspected it could be the SD card as it seemed to me the "server" was slower on authentication but the SD card looks ok. There were some errors when reading it via gdisk but f3 didn't find any problems. So I copied the newest downloadable image onto it. It worked again until the upgrade. What can I do to restore the functionality? Is there any known problem with last upgrade?I update the system quite usually so the change that could be responsible for this shouldn't be more than a month old. I even tried to use the direct attach…

I've upgraded to 5.20 from 5.17 and I've had to modify my /boot/bin/micro.bin to activate the VGA output. After Upgraded the board didn't reactivate the VGA, and I've to do it manually. Maybe some warning in the changelog will be an help to those have to do such modifications. The upgrade process copied the bin dir to bin.old. I have to apply "sudo apt-get upgrade" twice as the first run complain about come conflicting files and abort the upgrade, the second run did the job. I'm running legacy debian Jessie image and upgraded from 5.17 to 5.20. Now it seem to work well.

Hello, my Orange Pi Zero CPU is constantlyrunning at 67-68-70°C (it is the same with/without passive cooler). Is this temperature ok for my board? Can I run it with this temperature long time (weeks, months, years)? Thanks for help.

Bookworm 6.1 kernel Cinnamon terminal is unusable. The terminal screen flickers and the written text blinks with the cursor blink. Occasionally the terminal goes black. I am using an ancient 1024x768 screen. Is this the root cause, or is the terminal broken in Cinnamon?

i have banana pi m2plus and compile latest armbian after starting x11, i get "could not connect to wicd's d-bus interface..." no error shown in /var/log/wicd/wicd.log and wicd seems to be working also bcmdhd loaded, but when trying to connect wifi, cannot get ip any idea?

updated to 5.15 (then 5.16) release using aptitude. Kernel update worked. But when I updated u-boot ( linux-u-boot-orangepiplus2e-default ) , the system will no longer boot (see attached). But if I use linux-u-boot-orangepiplus-default , it will boot. (Note that the install script, to write/dd SPL , is hardcoded to mmcblk0, which is usually correct, but for this fix, I start boot on SDHC then pivot-root to eMMC. My running root is mmcblk1 during this "rescue" boot). Both 5.15 & 5.16 exhibit this behavior. Thanks, wha bad-uboot.txt

Hi guys, I was running my Orange Pi Zero Plus perfectly on the dev channel but I did an apt upgrade the other day and it seems to have broken something. I hooked it up to a usb serial device and here's the log: https://pastebin.com/jiB9TZdh Any ideas on how I can fix this? I can interrupt the boot process and I get to a screen where I can run limited commands but I'm not sure what to do at that point. I'm thinking it might be easier to just reflash and start again. This post is mainly for the devs to let them know there might be an issue with one of the kernels? Cheers.

Hi, is the image for the M1 and Pro the same? Because after downloading, the file name is "Armbian_5.04_Bananapipro_Debian_jessie_4.4.3". On the download page for M1 and Pro the download links point to the same file. Looking at http://mirror.igorpecovnik.com/i see only 5.00 for the M1. Another question i have: After the login i see 12 updates and i should run APT. Since years I'm using aptitude since it is the preferred and newer program for Debian. So the question is if i can safely use aptitude? Or is there something pre-installed and i mix up the package management. I will never understand why every tutorial on the web is using APT.

Hi all, I was struggling to have a stable Wifi connection on my new Orange Pi Primes, and believe I found a solution, so I thought it's nice to share it Symptoms: Wifi would connect right after reboot, but would disappear if Orange Pi Prime was idle for about 30min. The only way to reactivate would be to either pull the cable out (as there are no buttons yet), or to login via ethernet, perform ifconfig down && if config up. I didn't liked either of the options, so I decided to investigate. My log was full of: [89201.577208] RTL8723BS: nolinked power save enter [89201.967063] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is n…

Hi. I'm using Cubietruck, and installed Ubuntu server(mainline) on it. Suddenly, I can't write to disk(SD card). Actually, yes I can. I could create, edit, or even delete files, but all the changes are gone after the Cubietruck is rebooted. The deleted files are back, and created files are gone. What should I check? My SD card is Samsung Evo 16GB, and I'm running Cubietruck for more than 2 years. I have never encountered this weird situation.
