Has anyone had any success with running a current/semi current OS and the NAS/RTC Enclosure/Hat from FriendlyElec. I was never impressed with the NAS/OpenMediaVault image that shipped with the board/hat. I have attempted to strip OMV out of the device and move the device forward with some success. The the Kernel is stuck at v4.14.52. But I would prefer to load a clean current OS and potentially use the correct overlays to enable the extra USB Ports, USB to SATA Bridge and RTC features. Question is does anyone have any information/guide to use a current version of Armbian/Community and the correct overlay file(s) to allow the the JMicron USB to SATA interface and …

Hi, I am new here and searched the forums for an answer to my questions regarding the NanoPi NEO2 and NEO Plus2. Most answers I could find, but a few were left open. The NEO Plus2 is marked as WIP. Why? What do I have to expect not to work? Both boards are similarly old, from what I could find. Will the Plus2 move up to "supported" eventually or does it currently more look like the route is going towards CSC? Do common features like GPIO access, SPI, I2C ... work with current images? Do specific features where the Plus2 differs from the NEO2 like WiFi, Bluetooth, ... work? I already found out, that the second USB port should work…

Hi, I recently got a NanoPI NEO2 v1.0. I am able to load the Linux images using SD card and login using debug UART. But I am facing a strange issue where I need to disconnect USB power AND debug UART GND to switch off/on the board. I am using PL2303 UART module and connected the Tx, Rx and GND (verified using board diagram in wiki). Basically to completely reset the board, I also need to disconnect the UART GND. Is this expected? The LED is always on from beginning of boot till UART GND is disconnected (on even with USB power off). I have also verified that the board boots up only using UART 5V and without USB power, but I would to continue using U…

Hi all, I'm currently running Armbian 5.36 Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 4.11.1-sun50iw2. This was / is a local armbian build that I performed a few months ago to resolve an issue that I saw at that time in the network stack that prevented ipsec working correctly. 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. The following works without any issue to list existing rul…

Hi, i could control the OTG micro USB port power on my NanoPi Neo (H3) by exporting and writing to GPIO 354 (line 2 of GPIO chip with base 352) I'm using Kernel V6.6.62 and I created a tiny device tree overlay defining. Excerpt below: usb@1c19000 { dr_mode = "host" } usb0-vbus { status = "okay" } This works fine! For test purposes, I switched to a NanoPi Neo2 (H5) with Kernel 6.6.62 (64 bit). Here, the OTG port is powered on and is usable by default without any overlay. But the on/off control does not work anymore. All attempts to export GPIO 354 give "write error: Device or resource busy". Schematics show no circ…

Hello, first of all many thanks to all the community that keeps this project alive. I recently bought a NanoPi NEO2 board and of course decided to drop the OS provided by Friendlyarm and give a try to Armbian's Ubuntu build for this board. Everything seems to work just fine, however I'm unable to get a reading on the CPU Frequency. I tried multiple tools and commands but somehow all end up with something like "cpuinfo_cur_freq: No such file or directory. For instance, here is the output of armbianmonitor: armbianmonitor -m Stop monitoring using [ctrl]-[c] Time CPU load %cpu %sys %usr %nice %io %irq CPU/usr/bin/armb…

Hello, I'm running rsync to backup a VPS to an USB hard drive on the neo2 and sometimes rsync just stops with "read error from input device (I/O error)". I believe this issue happens when rsync is causing high load in the USB disk, writing or removing a large number of files or trying to write a big file. Notes: The hard drive is on a self powered enclosure - so power failure is not really an option here I also have Apache and mariadb storing data on the USB disk and I never had this kind of I/O errors with it OS: Debian GNU/Linux 9.4 (stretch) Drive is ext4 Whenever rysnc stops I get this under /var/log/messages:…

Hello, I am going to buy this unit, becuase I am lookig for a cheap board with bluetooth and camera input included. NanoPi Neo Air seems to be the best choice (and the only - talking about cheap board). Anyway, did someone play with its bluetooth interface programming? I mean sending (mainly, but also recieving files) from NanoPi by bluetoot. Are there any working tools (C, python)? Thanks for any post in advance!

Hi, i am beginner in SBC other than Rapsberry Pi and i just got my NanoPi R1 with case. I try power the board without SD card for the first time and i see that friendlyWRT already installed but i would like to use a general OS. Since i can't download the official OS from friendlyelec, i saw that armbian is another way and might be better. I follow all step in quick start guide page, and can't even get my board boot up. Below is the list of OS that i try with SD card: - Armbian_22.11.1_Nanopi-r1_jammy_current_5.15.80_minimal - Armbian_22.11.1_Nanopi-r1_bullseye_current_5.15.80 - Armbian_22.11.1_Nanopi-r1_bullseye_current_5.15.8…

I am having problems with the NanoPi R1. I loaded the latest Armbian for R1 on flash. All works good. I went to armbian-config to load into eMMC. The last step of the process had weird text on the dialog, I clicked "OK" anyway, and the process seemed to be working. But after removing uSD card and rebooting, the board does not work. The red led stays on solid. Did anyone successfully burn the image from uSD to eMMC using the tool in armbian-config?

Armbian Jammy (Minimal CLI) boots/works fine from an SD Card. (Armbian_23.5.2_Nanopi-r1_jammy_current_6.1.30_minimal.img.xz) apt update && apt upgrade -y && apt autoremove apt install armbian-config -y armbian-install I choose option #2 - Boot from eMMC - System on eMMC Accept the warning. I choose option #1 - ext4 The install appears to move along smoothly. I choose the "Power Off" option. Pull the power, remove the SD Card. Reconnect the power. I never see the "heartbeat" on the "System"(red) LED. The NanoPi never boot or obtains an IP address.

I'm trying to load Armbian on my NanoPi R1, but it doesn't boot. I've been able to boot it successfully with https://www.friendlyarm.com/ official image, and also various (unsupported) DietPi images. I tried Armbian_21.02.3_Nanopi-r1_focal_current_5.10.21.img.xz using Balena Etcher to copy it to the SDCard on a Macbook laptop. Instead of seeing the uboot startup, the terminal remains completely empty. No idea where to start on debugging this. Please help! Thanks!

Hi, We've built a network experimentation system using NanoPi R1 modules, but when load testing the system with iperf3, we are seeing the on-board RTL8152 interface enter a state where it does not seem to be responding until the board is power cycled. The system consists of 32 NanoPi modules connected in a torus, with the 1Gig interface connected to its neighbour's 100Mbit interface. An additional USB Ethernet dongle functions as a control interface. The modules are powered from a Ubiquiti PoE switch, using this type of isolated PoE splitter. Eyeballing the switch UI, power consumption per node seems to hover between 2.3W-3.5W, depending on load. W…

Hi! Just saw a new board from FriendlyARM - NanoPi R1 (https://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=69&product_id=248). It based on Allwinner H3, has dual Ethernet port, wi-fi and Bluetooth, USB, and onboard eMMC. Memory options are 512MB or 1GB. It comes in a case, just add power supply. Looks quite fun SBC for IoT and for micro router. I was unable to find Armbian images for this board. Could you please comment if is it possible to use images for other Allwinner H3 boards? Do you have any plans to support this board? Thank you in advance for your comments!

I am trying to build an armbian image for a nanopi R1S-H3 this used to be possible in the past. Now when I build and select the extended board list the R1S-H5 is present but not the R1S-H3. Should I build using another H3 board, or is the R1S-H5 close enought o get it to boot.

Hi to everyone. I've installed community build Armbian on a Nanopi R1S-H5 and all ok but i see two differents Wlan (Wlan0 and Wlan1). If the board has only one wifi nic, how is this possible? Is there an error in any configuration file or in other place? Thanks in advance.

Hi, After installing latest version of Armbian 5.59 Stretch, I found that CPU temperature was shooting up too high, and I figured out that the GPIOL6 controlling the VDD_CPUX between 1.1V and 1.3V is not set properly as a result the Pullup resistor R455 is holding the FET gate always high and it is always running by default at 1.3V, even though scaling_max_freq was set 912MHz. After manually switching the GPIO to OUTPUT_LOW the temperatures aren't going that high anymore. Just thought the DEVs should know. Thanks

Hello, I'm trying to make MB1242 sonar working with my nanopi but every time I run i2cdetect, I got "i2c i2c-0: mv64xxx: I2C bus locked, block: 1, time_left: 0". Sonar works fine on RPI after changing i2c_baudrate to 50000. Is there any way to do the same at nanopi?

I tested with Armbian Stretch image on NanoPi-NEO-Core2. PJSIP VoIP Client. MIC input does not work. Additional USB sound cards work well. In FriendelyARM original firmware, MIC input works well. I hope that this issue will be resolved. Please help me.

Greetings. For anyone interested FriendlyArm have a Github repo which contains a working AW CSI driver. and has device tree files for NanoPi M1+ and Neo Air. See https://github.com/friendlyarm/linux.git. The branch is sunxi-4.16.y This is a work in progress but the setup is vastly simplified compared to the VFE subsystem in the 3.4/3.10 kernels. The OV5640 driver does produce video but I'm getting some odd images at the moment. Possibly colorspace related. As a bonus USB OTG is also working ... fa@FriendlyELEC:~/src$ v4l2-compliance Driver Info: Driver name : sun6i-video Card type : sun6i-csi Bus i[593…

I started compiling some project (snowboy ) on the nanopiDuo2 like I am doing on the FriendlyCore 16.04 and suddenly the board stop working/booting. The red led is blinking fast, the same sd card is working on different boards, FriendlyCore does not boot on this board. "provide a log from serial console" I don't have serial cable yet. This happened to me twice, on Armbian 18.04 and on 20.04. First it destroyed the "IoT-2G Application Carrier Board for NanoPi Duo2" that it was on without the board, and the carrier had burnt smell, internet cable and power were connected. For one of them the red led is blinking fast, for the other the led do…

Hi, After the new update, the BLUE LED on the nanoPI M1 is not being used anymore. Cheers,

This issue isn't for orangepione, but for nanopineo - which I can't find in the dropdowns anymore. Perhaps it is no longer supported.

Hi all. I'm new, so don't hit too hard. I'm interested in how the NAS Dock for NanoPi Neo2 is defined in the system. I want to install OpenWRT, because I need a NanoPi based router. Armbian seems to me too complicated for such tasks. If you put OpenWRT on NEO2, then NAS Dock is not detected in the system. At that time Armbian determines, I can easily open the HDD or connect devices to the dock's USB port. Please tell me. Which module or driver is responsible for the dock to be defined in the system? The Openwrt forum has not yet been able to help me, so I'm writing here. Help as you can. Скрытый текст Привет всем. Я новичо…

The 1-bay NAS kit v1.2 has an RTC with option to add CR2032 button cell to keep HW time when system is shut down. But running `timedatectl` when device is booted in offline mode shows RTC is set to 1970-01-01 00:00:00 which defeats the purpose of having the option of CR2032. And yes, the button cell have juice; I've bought it a week ago and tested it before putting it in the kit.

Hi, After reading a post about NAS for allwinner, I need some advices: So far I have same performance on my raspberry pi b+ and my orangepi2e : 2 hard drives 2 To 2,5" usb on a powered hub. (approx 11 Mb/s max through AFP/nfs share). Gigabit does not seem to be the bottleneck on the pi since it does not impact my bit rates. My question is simple : can I have better performance if I make a RAID via btrfs ? Do I have to format my hard drives ? What is the best distro ? (I used armbian but does not seem very stable compared to the raspberry, what about ubuntu server, or raspbian ?) Thanks

Network block device support is not included in the 3.4 kernel on opi PC CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NBD Could this be enabled by default in a future update?

OPiPC2, with Armbian Bionic desktop mainline based kernel 4.19.y Using it as headless server, all X and desktop stuff removed. Using PuTTY to log in via SSH, line drawing stuff (as usual) only works if translation is set to ISO-8859-1 in PuTTY. mc looks great, but all ncurses-based software (aptitude, htop, bmon etc) does not. Main problem seems that horizontal spacing is "shrunk" whenever there is no text to keep it: This is even more dramatic for menu systems and anything that is column-oriented. Tried dpkg-reconfigure locales to switch system to ISO-8859, but no change, really seems to be an ncurses bug. No such problem…

Hi all, I'm planning to put together a low powered torrent downloader with Deliuge torrent client. One Question came to my mind. - Will the Cubieboard 1 Ubuntu image work in CLI without any mods? I want to use the Vanilla Kernel. Any guidance would be helpful.

OK, being away for a while and having 5.x kernel and sunxi_cedrus around I need some directions. I had some embedded 3.x desktop installations in a community museum showing videos (using mpv after a button press) which need revising. So I decided to update the firmware/scripts etc. These are Orange Pi One's... In the past I installed 3.x desktop version as it has better video acceleration. What should I do now? I don't see a focal desktop in downloads. Is it OK to use the focal server, install xfce4 on top of it? Will I have video acceleration? I've been using HEVC .mkv files... Thanks in advance Bülent ~# uname -a Linux myhostna…

I've been trying lots of stuff, read a lot but could not make it work. What I need is to make a video player. If someone pushes a button a specific video will be played. So simple. The device will be networked and I will add other stuff in time (sensors, Python scripts, IoT frameworks etc). I chose Orange Pi One and Armbian Debian LEGACY (sorry NOT mainline) kernel. I wrote scripts to to automate device setups. All fine. To play videos I installed LXDE and mpv. The video did not work as there is no acceleration. Drivers seem to be broken (05.02.2017 compilation - I read about the broken drivers, but do not have the solution) …

Hi, I am working on enabling crust support in Armbian. A draft version of pull request is here. I have made the changes for the same. With my changes, crust compiles as part of building the image and gets bundled in u-boot.

Hello, I have just updated to the latest Debian Server image of NanoPI NEO 2. When connecting via Serial and using vim.basic/tiny I got the following strange behaviour: As soon as I enter the insert mode a newline is inserted automatically. This does not happen when connecting via SSH. So far I haven't experienced this behaviour with my previous image. Any ideas? Kind regards, Markus NB: textwidth is set to 0 (disabled).

It seems the links to download the new Focal build for the nanopi neo core 2 are dead. https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-neo-core-2-lts/ Neither direct nor torrent seem to be working.

I noticed the Neo+ 2 has a blue LED: line 10: unnamed "nanopi:green:pwr" output active-high [used] line 20: unnamed "nanopi:blue:status" output active-high [used] It's not doing the heartbeat flash like the NanoPi Duo. uname -a Linux nanopineoplus2 4.14.15-sunxi64 #95 SMP Wed Jan 24 10:55:45 CET 2018 aarch64 GNU/Linux

I have a problem with NEO2 and EDIMAX EW 7822ULC. I can't see none of my 5GHz network SSID, but I can connect to 2.4 GHz. I am using Buster minimal image. It is something I should do to solve this problem? Thank you.

I had a NanoPi NEO2 working well with ARMBIAN 5.34.171121. After apt-get upgrade, ARMBIAN has been changed to ARMBIAN 5.37.171208 with below firmware update: Get:1 http://beta.armbian.com xenial/main arm64 linux-dtb-next-sunxi64 arm64 5.37.171208 [25.0 kB] Get:2 http://beta.armbian.com xenial/main arm64 linux-image-next-sunxi64 arm64 5.37.171208 [14.7 MB] Get:3 http://beta.armbian.com xenial/main arm64 linux-u-boot-nanopineo2-next arm64 5.37.171208 [222 kB] Get:4 http://beta.armbian.com xenial/main arm64 linux-xenial-root-next-nanopineo2 arm64 5.37.171208 [318 kB] Then the Ethernet port is no longer working.

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'm running what I believe is the latest experimental for the neo2 - 5.27.170601. This could well be a problem related to something that doesn't yet work in this build. I've built strongswan on the neo and everything built fine and installed. ipsec starts and I'm able to bring a tunnel up to a remote vpn server that I know is fine and is verified working from some other box with identical connection and key configuration that I'm using on the neo2. When the tunnel is brought up on the neo2 it seems I'm not able to get any traffic to flow i.e. curl api.ipify.org should return the public ip of the remote vpn server but it just hangs. When the tunnel…

I'm testing the nightly image: Armbian_5.32.170704_Nanopineo2_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.11.8.img I've got it running nice and stable as a router and wifi AP, with 2 USB ports, one wifi adapter on each port. But when it's been off for a while and I power it on, it doesn't boot on the first powerup, only if I disconnect power and then wait a few seconds then power again. I've tried 2 different 2A 5v power supplies, one that I've successfully powered RbPi 2s and other Linux SBC's for months at a time, no problems. The voltage is good. I also tried a beast 10 port USB charger that has 6x 2A ports. Same behavior for all power supplies I've tried, and I…

Hello, I use the BananaPi M1 as network bridge with tranparent http proxy and filter with 2nd ethernet (USB adapter with AX88179 Gigabit Ethernet). But since latest update with kernel update, the network seemce to be go down often or the sytem is going bad. I can't find any solution and need some help. If you need some more information, please tell me what I should send. Thank you! Edit: The system is stuck on reboot... have to put of the power.

I have recently updated to Armbian Focal (Ubuntu 20.04). My Banana Pi M1 is running an apache server + some digital amateur radio stuff. So upload speed is important. My average download and upload speed as measured with speediest-cli is 45Mb/sec and 18Mb/sec respectively (wired connection to modem) With Focal I get these speeds with Buster (Debian 10) the download speed is still 45Mb/sec but the upload speed drops to 3.4 Mb/sec. These results are not one off but consistent. The am64 version of Buster does exactly the same thing.. My question is : can I change this with programming or is it a fixture in the kernel ? Can someone enlighten me please ? Rein

Hi, I'm using NetBIOS names when using ssh to access other CTs on my local network. Most of the CTs and other hosts are running Wheezy. Now I have a CT running Stretch and it's very difficult to access this host using 'ssh <stretch host name>' because it's not responding to the broadcas from the calling host. If I repeat the request (and broadcast for the name) multiple times then sooner or later the Stretch CT will respond in time. The timeout on the host doing the broadcast seems very short. Does anybody know where this timeout is specified and how to change it ? Thanks, Steven

Is there a way to run netflix yet? Does Chromium run well and able to run netflix? Appears this doesn't matter, because Chromium doesn't work with netflix anymore... Does anyone know if chromium OS works well with OPi PC otherwise? Basically I want it to work for netflix, I also want to connect it to a printer, and the ability to run NordVPN and a torrent client would be a bonus as well.

Hello, after a poweroff command, the board Led switches off but the ethernet port Led still green blinks. The os has well performed the shutdown (I can see this through the UART). How is it possible? Thanks

Hi, I have recently installed latest (20) Armbian Desktop for OPi PC(+), have problems installing software from network repo (synaptic). 1). Small version problem with one of Qt5 libraries (dependency for Kadu - Polish communicator GG client), synaptic wants version 1u1, on the net there is version 1u3. Installed using wget + dpkg, now Kadu starts (at least) OK. 2). PostgreSQL problem: there is version 11 of PgSQL provided, OK, it's current production. BUT there is PgAdmin3(!) in repo, which works with at most version 9.6 of PgSQL (from PgAdmin site).

I have been using Debian Jessie on an Orange Pi Plus 2e, but decided to upgrade to Stretch so I could install Chromium (which isn't in the Jessie repositories). I substituted 'stretch' for 'jessie' in /etc/apt/sources.list, then did: $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Everything went OK, until it hung while reconfiguring network manger. I restarted and re-ran sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. Everything else appeared to install OK except network-manager (which is shown as installed but half-configured) and network-manager gnome (which is shown as unpacked and not configured), If I try to fix network-manager using dpkg, this is what i get:…

Platform oPi Plus 2E with Armbian 5.31 (Legacy). I have configured a WiFi adaptor, and it works fine in connecting to an existing hotspot. When I attempt to use network manager applet (or nm-connection-editor/nmtui from a root prompt) to create an Ad-hoc network I am getting permissions errors. For NM TUI it is 'Unable to save connection: Insufficient privileges.', and similar for the other methods. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to diagnose and/or fix this? From the research I have done the nm-applet error is likely a simple config error (not set up to run as root for this function), but the other avenues failures seem odd.

I created a Jessie image for BananaPi with the latest / next kernel, and when booting the image, it get's stuck on "A start job is running for LSB: Raise network interfaces". It never seems to complete raising the interface, and since there is no time limit, this goes on forever. Creating a Wheezy image seems to work fine (also using latest / next kernel). Any suggestions on how I can get the Jessie image up and running? Thanks.

I'm running some stress test on the NanoPi neo2 512mb, CPU heating reached 75-76 degrees, and it's stable, the problem that I faced is that the computer changed it's IP suddenly (after 55 minutes of test running), I guess it's because of a network card reset. Did anyone face the following issue? Is it related to the stress test? Or it's another networking problem? The test I'm running is with the "stress" tool, running long time stress on 4 CPUs. In addition, does anyone have any insights regarding this device? good or bad?

I built the newest image Armbian_5.24_Orangepiplus_Debian_jessie_3.4.113_desktop.img to work with my opi+2 board. I need 1280x1024 resolution and it works perfectly. However wifi connection keep asking password, but it worked well with Armbian_5.20_Orangepiplus_Debian_jessie_3.4.112_desktop.img. It's weird that wifi scanning worked well, just failed to connect. How do I fixed this problem? thx

Hi, Tried a new Armbian build for OPiPC today, legacy (3.4.113) and seen that only Debian 9 is available (not showing Debian 8), so build fails since Debian 9 cannot work with legacy. So, is Armbian dropping legacy kernels (3.4.113) on Debian? Need Debian 8 console/server with legacy, so what can I do ? [ error ] ERROR in function source [ configuration.sh:90 ] [ error ] Building Debian Stretch images with selected kernel is not supported [ o.k. ] Process terminated

Look at the description https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Armbian_overlays/ when I set UART I2C in armbianEnv.txt it should be overlay_prefix=sun50i-h616 overlays=i2c3-ph uart5-ph as described on the given page But when I use armbian-config and go to Manage Overlays my settings are not seen and I have to set them but the names of all overlays are preceded by the prefix. After selecting and saving the settings in armbinEnv.txt it is overlay_prefix=sun50i-h616 overlays=sun50i-h616-i2c3-ph sun50i-h616-uart5-ph as a result the defined overlays are not loaded Is it supposed to be like t…

Hello everyone. I'm new to Armbian. If I do not restart or turn off by command (correctly) all the files generated or transferred since it was turned on are deleted immediately. Why? Is it normal in Armbian? I use Orange Pi Win Plus 2, how do I deactivate that functionality? I use it as a remote server.

Is there a way to check for a new kernel without downloading it?

Hi, My applications were running from eMMC when I used Kernel 3.4.113 and Orange Pi PC Plus purchased 6 months back. But on my last week purchase, armbian-config of 3.4.113 does not detect eMMC of Orange Pi PC Plus. I am told by Xunlong to use the latest kernel. This will result in huge development efforts. Are there any patches that can be applied to 3.4.113 to use my same application on latest PCB? Thanks

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

Hi I am new in the forum and the happy owner (as of yesterday) of an Orange Pi Lite. Nice little board. I managed to install Armbian server, configure Wi-Fi upgrade and install apache / php and mrtg. I also was able to enable one wire protocol to play around with a DS18B20 thermometer. My idea is to create an automated garden watering system with nice stats (graphs) I already have a 4 channel relay board (to connect solenoid water valves), a DS18B20 to sense temperature, an LDR to graph sunlight hours and 4 hygrometers --moisture sensors--. Those I want to connect through an I2C ADS1115 ADC module (which I also already have). …

Hi, after trying to upgrade to new image 4.5 (don't know whether this was successful...) and reboot, my cubietruck get's stucked: What could have happened? Is this the same problem, some others describe here or totally different? Seems like it doesn't find 'a boot file'!? What does this mean? Bootloader is on sd, root etc. on hdd. Thanks and best regards, Jochen

I was able to write to a Samsung sd card the image for my orange Pi lite. The overscan is bad on my TV but I got past initial setup. Once it boots to the desktop there is no response from the mouse and I thought the keyboard. No keyboard shortcuts work. But I was able to drop to terminal and type. What could be going on? I've tried different cards, keyboards, and mice. Edit: I've tried different power supplies too!

Hello and thanks in advance. I have installed the IMG Debian Wheezy With kernel 3.4.x, when income Rpi monitoring tells me I have 11 upgradeable packages, but if I run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade returns me that there is nothing to update. Moreover Igor saw yesterday published an update, it is possible to upgrade without reinstalling everything? The problem that I have and which I intend to upgrade is that once a day or once every two days or ethernet banana itself hangs and can not access until I restart the banana pi. Thank you very much and apologize for using google translator.

I bough an Orange Pi PC set 9 which came with a camera ( https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orange-Pi-PC-set-9-Pi-PC-and-Camera-with-wide-angle-lens-not-for-raspberry/32662572137.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.dIEdek ) After setting up armbian running etc. how do I do something with the camera (ie to see it works)? I have used raspberry and there I just type "raspistill -d" and a demo pops up. How do I do something like that? After browsing around I found that "modprobe gc2035" is along those lines but I only get "command not found". Doing a linux find does not find "modprobe". I reckon I have to install something else but what?
