Allwinner sunxi

Hello everyone. I just got an Orange Pi Plus 2e, which I intend to use a as a personal cloud server. I understand that, in this board, Legacy Kernel is much better than Mainline for desktop usage (video accel, TV out, etc.), but I am not so clear about which one is better for a server. May main concerns are: Ethernet and Wifi speed and reliabililty (ethernet will conect to Internet, and Wifi to home devices as an AP) I/O speed for the USB attached HD Security Any advice about which Kernel to choose? Thanks!

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

I have an Orange Pi PC Plus and I'm looking for a USB video grabber. Could you suggest me some models which are easy to setup and work with OPi reliably?

Hi, I have some armbian 5.38 (kernel 4.11.5) installations and recently updated them. With this update I got kernel 4.14.18. When I executed command "armbianmonitor -m" I used to get something like this: :~# armbianmonitor -m Stop monitoring using [ctrl]-[c] Time CPU load %cpu %sys %usr %nice %io %irq CPU PMIC 10:52:13: 528MHz 0.35 21% 2% 18% 0% 0% 0% 40.8°C 41.0°C 10:52:18: 528MHz 0.52 21% 2% 18% 0% 0% 0% 40.7°C 41.0°C 10:52:24: 528MHz 0.47 21% 2% 18% 0% 0% 0% 40.7°C 41.0°C Now after update, and kernel 4.14.18 among other new packets, I got this: …

I recently started playing around with OrangePi Zero with the Allwinner H2+ CPU. I want to test out the internal audio DAC. To do so I enabled "analog-coded" in armbian-config. After rebooting I saw a new audio device in the output of "pacmd list-cards", but it says that only mono is available. How can I configure stereo sound? I haven't played around with "/etc/asound.conf" much as I don't understand it. Also, I don't have anything plugged into the audio pins on the GPIO.

Is there anything that can be done about it? Something will start(e.g. minisatip, mumudvb) to disproportionately use the cpu and after a short time it will crash completely. A similar configuration works well on an OPI PC(Linux orangepipc 4.10.1-sun8i #1 SMP Sun Mar 5 18:47:02 CET 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux), but with newer versions it behaves just as incorrectly. I've tested other images (ubuntu, debian), but it's the same everywhere.

Hello everyone, I encountered an issue while using SPI with my Orange Pi 3 LTS, and now I'm going to share some solutions. Perhaps the Armbian Team can assist me in resolving the final problem. These tests were conducted on Armbian 23.02.2 Bullseye with Linux 5.15.93-sunxi64. The initial step I took to ensure the appearance of `spidev` on the Orange Pi 3 LTS was to include these configurations in `/boot/armbianEnv.txt`. overlays=spi-spidev1 param_spidev_spi_bus=0 param_spidev_spi_cs=0 Note: If `spi-spidev` and `spi-spidev1` are added together, it will not work, and the `spidev` will not appear when using the `ls /dev/sp*` command. …

Is possible with the last version of Debian to have internal Wi-Fi and Ethernet working simultaneously on Banana PRO? I want to try some "bonding" network benchmarks. Thanks.

I'm having trouble installing asterisk in this version , in versions 4.4 and 4.5 of ARMBIAN Debian 4.4.3 Jessie worked perfectly!

I've been trying for the last 2 days to get composite video out on the mainline (4.11 and 4.13) kernels on the Orange Pi Zero. I've followed the old guide and the new and nothing works. On the 3.4 kernel, video out worked fine. Can someone please point me to a working set of instructions for accomplishing this?

I know that now mainline kernel is supported on orangepi zero so is there any way to activate the composite video output.?

Hi, so without knowing what the swappiness actually is I changed the value from 100 to 512. Since then, I can't boot my Banana Pi M2 Zero. Shortly after that, I remembered again: swappiness is the percentage of how often to use swap and not the maximum amount of storage. Can I repair it inside uboot? Can I plug the sd card into my PC and edit the files there? Here is the log from the serial console.

I'm having trouble getting the RaZberry zwave extension board working in Armbian 5.31 with the mainline kernel. Previously on Bananian I just symlinked ttyS2 to ttyUSB99 and I was able to use the RaZberry with OpenZwave. But now, I have no idea how to get it working. I guess it has got something to do with overlays for the kernel but I haven't been able to find out exactly sifting thru the internet... Help very much appreciated.

Hi, OPiPC with latest mainline (ARMBIAN 5.34 user-built Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 4.13.12-sunxi). Need to test the I2S0.

Even as a generic simple-audio-codec ? Christos

Hello everybody, I have a orange pi zero h2 and when I connect the gpio on some pcb, sometime the pcb inject file inside the linux and create dpkg error. is it possible to enable something to protect the system. thx you

orange pi one H3 idles somewhat warm in part due to a power regulator that switches only between 1.1 and 1.3 v. orange pi pc could idle at pretty low temperatures (closer to room without a heat sink due to a better power regulator as well), and the h3 runs rather hot say > 70deg C when under loads the trouble is the SOC die is 14x14mm, and if one wants to use a large heat sink, it wouldn't fit and you would need to use the copper shim method, to provide some clearance to fit a large heat sink that is troublesome and hence , i made do and made an attempt to try out *small* heat sinks, e.g. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10pcs-Computer-Cooler-Rad…

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

Hello, I'm a lay user, I don't know much about Armbian and networks - On my network I have a router whose default DNS is set to point to an OrangePI 3 lts with Armbian 23.02, where I installed AdGuard (v0.107.52) and created my rules to filter advertisements through URLs that I access through the web browser of any device. It works almost 100% as I would like - I use a NO-IP DDNS on the router to access the surveillance DVR and I can see the cameras fine on my smartphone. However, when there is a power outage and then it comes back on, there is often some kind of synchronization failure between the router and the OrangePI to access…

https://github.com/MaverickLong/MLIR-TIM-VX This is an MLIR-based lowering path from the TOSA v1 dialect to TIM-VX, VeriSilicon's OpenVX-based GPU/NPU ML Framework. It includes the lowering from TOSA v1 to a custom timvx dialect (mirrors the TIM-VX C++ semantics) and a full lowering to C++ source. It is currently on par in inference speed with the vendor ACUITY compiler pipeline while still giving you full control on the graph level. In my own testing, on a Radxa Cubie A7Z \w Allwinner A733, ResNet-50 takes 8.0ms to inference, while the ACUITY-compiled baseline takes 7.3ms according to Radxa.

Hello, I have the LIME2 board from Olimex (A20 SoC). I tried writing the image Armbian_5.20_Lime2_Debian_jessie_4.7.3_desktop to an SD card with dd. However, nothing happens when I plug in power (except that a red light near the barrel jack connector turns on). I tried pressing some of the switches (reset, power) but they didn't do anything either. This is the second LIME2 board I have received that just won't turn on. I have also tried with the images recommended by Olimex, to no avail. Is there something special that needs to be done that I'm missing?

Hello i'm begginer in programing, but i'm learning slowly. I need use gpio pins in my Orange Pi Zero, but i can't find any library that work with my board. Google is not very usefull for me. I was using RPi.GPIO on my RPi projects, but this library don't work on OPi Zero. Can anyone link to working library for python? I need use only 6 output pins.

I need to use non-standard baud rate (125000) on the serial port. Communication works very reliably, but dmesg says: "Python sets custom speed on ttyS1. This is deprecated." What should my attitude towards it? Can I ignore it? I read, that it is necessary to make some changes in the "asm/termios.h". It is necessary ? Could it be a normal part of the kernel? Moreover - I do not know how to do it. Thanks.

as of some network release before the current (unsupported) 4.11.3 kernel, the networking has started having random value hw mac addresses on every boot. I suspect if you can do so and look @ your DHCP server, you will possibly see the orangepi (or whatever your hostname is) lurking there. Another way to do it if you have to, is to /sbin/ifconfig and get the HWaddr and look for that mac address on your dhcp server. I came by your post while trying to find a workable solution to assigning the mac on the orangepi zero 512 I am bringing up. Jim

On my orangepi pc (legacy kernel) I'm trying to using separately the left and right channel as two separate sound cards (to be used by two different programs). I have a working asoundrc for that, but the problem is that the left channel leaks into the right one and viceversa. They also do the same on my laptop, but there it's hardly noticeable. 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). This is the my asoundrc, the !default line is because one of the two programs is linphone and I couldn't find a…

Hello! I recently bought a generic Waveshare 800x480 HDMI (B) USB Touchscreen (rev 3.0), and I'm having problems to make it work properly on Armbian.

I'm using the Armbian Desktop 5.31 , running on an Orange Pi One. I've already set it up using h3disp -m 800x480 -d, and tried everything but it won't work. Vertical resolution seems to be right, but horizontal only fits around 3/4 of screen and it's noisy (the same problem everyone seems to have). I have tried this with my P…

Is there any way/hope to have bluetooth working on the OrangePi Win? Thanks!

Hi, I am using the Ubuntu desktop image found here https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-prime/ I am able to start the board, it lights up and connects to the network via ethernet -- I see it come up in my DHCP table and am then able to connect via SSH Docs say to use root:1234 for login, but I get Access denied. I found another forum post that says root is disabled via SSH by default. When I try to connect locally, I get no video from HDMI so I don't know what it's loading up to. I had hoped to be able to configure via SSH but can't get in. Any ideas on how I can proceed? Thank you!

Hi all, Today I decided to pull my OPi Zero H3 out of its box and fire it up.

I made tests with Orange Pi 2+ to install Armbian to eMMC. But I have no idea why it takes 30 minutes to install. I assume write speed of eMMC to be 5MB/s (ok maybe it is even faster) and Armbian on SD card is about 2.1GB, so it should take ~7 minutes to copy files, plus some more minutes to finish final touches, let's say 15 minutes together. But why it takes more than 30 minutes? Is there any possibility how to reduce this time? P.S. When I am burning armbian img to SD card, in 5 minutes I am ready to go and boot the system.

Hi there, i need some help with using the UART1 pins 8 & 9. I own a Duo with Ubuntu 16.04.6 I've installed a software that is able to send codes over the UART1 pins to my smart home system. The software is 'active (running)' but has no connection via UART1. UART1 is enabled(npi-config) but i does not work. WiringNP is required for my software and installed. Is there any point i've missed? Did i have to switch UART1 pins to in- and output? One error i get: Service Control Manager on computer xx.x.x.xx cannot be opened. You may not have permission to do this. PS: These pins must work, i rebuild an…

First time working with usb_f_uac1. Running buster image. I have a configfs setup that hosts are able to enumerate but the attributes for capture (c_chmask, c_ssize, c_srate) and playback (p_chmask, p_ssize, p_srate) seem to be switched. i.e. c_chmask = 0x3f shows as a 6-channel capture endpoint on both Windows (ksstudio) and macOS (system information) hosts. Is there something I’m misunderstanding here? Is there something I’m not doing correctly?

Hello, I download Ubuntu Trusty for my orangepi PC. It's working fine. But the pointer for the mouse on the desktop is missing. And with command line (Alt-F1), the last line is under the screen. How to fix these two poins ? Regards

I thought I had this mastered but I cannot get the OPI to boot. I downloaded the current legacy image trusty, use 7zip to unzip it and then use a image writer to write the image to the SD formatted sd card. Am I missing something here? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Hello. please tell me, I can find somewhere kernel modules for Armbian legacy trusty? interested ntfs and ufs modules. or teach how to build their own on my device. Wbr, Dmitry.

Hello, actually it was not the first time the upgrade failed on this board: - upgrade 5.11 to 5.15 -> returned successfull - reboot - at boot system can not find file: sun6i-a31s-bananapi-m2.dtb (file sun6i-a31s-sinovoip-bpi-m2.dtb for BPi M2 is available) - fixed it by linking to the existing device tree blob sun6i-a31s-sinovoip-bpi-m2.dtb - reboot again - no network (my /etc/network/interfaces has been set to armbian default, same as /etc/network/interfaces.default, this happened the first time) fixed it again by setting the correct content I don't know if the upgrade process is the problem or if there is something messed up on my board... Now ev…

Hi, i have managed to install a wiring Pi version for my Orange Pi lite following this tutorial: https://gist.github.com/lanefu/f16a67195c9fa35c466c6b50cdaeadea The basic examples with inputs and outputs are working fine. Since I want to use a rotary encoder and not loose any steps I want to use a interrupt driven callback. There is an example as well but that does not work. I get: wiringPiISR: unable to open /sys/class/gpio/gpio25/value: No such file or directory I also tried several other libraries but non was working. Has anybody managed to get GPIO interrupt based callbacks working with python an an Oragnge Pi ?

Hello, can somebody from developers add next to KERNEL_TARGET for Orange Pi Lite in the build system please ? Regards

Hello guys! I'm beginner of Armbian. The problem is: Install Armbian Stretch mainline kernel 4.14.y on my device(Orange_Pi_PC),But I don't know how to enable UART1 .

Dear Armbian team, I am using debian stretch with orange pi PC ( Linux orangepipc 4.19.38-sunxi #5.83 SMP Fri May 3 23:33:25 CEST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux ). At the moment by default when I press the power button, it shutdowns the orangepi pc, and I have to plug off/on the power supply to reboot the device. I would like to modify this behavior, to program custom actions when the button is pressed. If possible it would be nice to be able to distinguish between short press and long press. I tried without success to follow the manual instructions, and add the custom overlay gpio-button.dts. Also tried the acpi package approach without a…

Hello Everyone, I have an Orange Pi 3 and I want to wipe the default OS and replace it with Armbian. It has some foreign default OS which appears to be Android based and without a word of English. The Armbian documentation wasn't much help because it didn't provide any instructions for this sort of hardware. If any of you could give me some pointers that would be very much appreciated.

Hi, I have quiet a problem getting ipsec/strongswan running on my Orange Pi R1. IPSec is configured fine and it connects to my vpn gatway by establishing and ikev2 connection with the help of transform (xfrm) interfaces. After connection everything works fine, but not for long. When I transfer large amounts of data (e.g. iperf3) the whole Orange Pi R1 freezes suddenly. This occours almost immideatly, sometimes i get a couple of seconds a data stream, but mostly it freezes at once. Currently I use even the lates "Linux orangepi-r1 5.9.1-sunxi #20.08.14 SMP Tue Oct 20 23:01:54 CEST 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux" Kernel, and I upgrade…

I got myself a Banana Pi M2 Zero (with H3 chip) and am running Armbian (Armbian_21.08.1_Bananapim2zero_buster_current_5.10.60) on it. I have enabled SPI by adding the spi-spidev dt overlay. Now I want to use both CS pins at the same time so that I can connect two devices. The spi-add-cs1 overlay doesn't change anything so I researched a bit and found this custom overlay. Unfortunately it didn't work too and there is still only a single spidev available. Is there any way to enable both of them at the same time?

Hi, I have the following issue: I installed Armbian 4.3 Debian (wheezy) 3.4.108 for Micro. My device is A20-Olimex-Olinuxino Micro with nand. I installed it to boot from NAND and store the rootfs on SATA /dev/sda1. When I powered it up with HDMI connected to the TV and micro sdcard plugged in, I see the red armbian logo shows up, but then display turns off and nothing. If I login with ssh I see that /boot is mounted to NAND and rootfs is indeed in /dev/sda1. If I boot without micro sdcard plugged I don't see any display output on the TV, but still the device boots up and the mounts seems the same, /boot on /dev/nand1 and /dev/sda1 is the rootfs. Perfect so I wante…

Hi Igor, while playing with your Armbian and kernel to squeeze even more juice from my cubietruck, i would ask you if you think it would be possible to add to your kernel and u-boot build the support for KVM. Here one experiment with KVM: https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2013/12/13/kvm-working-on-the-cubietruck/ Then, partially related with this, it would be nice to have the watchdog enabled to fight the occasional low level hang that happens sometimes (all freezed with 4 led on).

Hi, has anyone been able to use the BPi 7 inch LCD (S070WV20-CT16) with Banana Pi M1+? I took the FEX file from this how-to: https://sinovoip.blogspot.hu/2015/08/how-to-banana-pi-bpi-m1-7-inch-touch.html and put it the "bin" subdir of the Armbian image (Armbian_5.20_Bananapipro_Debian_jessie_3.4.112_desktop.7z), then symlinked from the script.bin in the root dir to it (I did not change anything else in the image) and rebooted. At boot when it comes to starting the kernel, it always resets (starts the boot process again and again). When I use (symlink to) the "built-in" bananapim1pluslcd7.bin in the image, the same result: starts the boot process again a…

I have an Orange Pi Plus 2 that was running Armbian off of its onboard eMMC module, but I think I may have damaged it while working with the GPIO pins as it now will no longer boot from the module. The board will boot and run OK off of an SD card, but I'd like to copy the OS back to the eMMC module if possible. I've tried to rerun the script 'nand-sata-install', but I receive the error 'There are no targets. Please check your drives'. If I list the mmc devices I just get one, which I presume is the SD card: > ls -l /dev/ | grep mmcblk brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 0 Mar 20 16:51 mmcblk0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1…

I have an orange pi one running armbian 5.25 with a 2.4" ili9341 TF LCD initialized with "modprobe fbtft_device custom name=fb_ili9341 gpios=reset:198,dc:199 speed=16000000 rotate=90 busnum=0".

ALSA lib pcm.c:7843:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred I've seen the same thing happen with several programs. The program below usually creates the error. Running the same program on raspbian generates no errors so I don't think it's the code itself, but something in the environment. …

Hello guys here is a couple of questions regarding Mali/EGLFS on OrangePi One and Armbian v4.4.*. I am going to cross-compile and use Qt5 Embedded on Armbian v4.4.* and I strongly need QML engine for my development which requires eglfs plugin. Is Mali GPU supported on this version of OS ? How/where to get/compile user mode libraries (EGL+GLESv2) for this version of OS ? Thank you

Hi, I found a similar thread about space problem on /boot when upgrading the kernel, but it was with debian jessie, not Ubuntu, and the proposed "trick" doesn't seem to work anymore: This is what I get: Actually, I am facing this problem since I set up my system a year ago, but didn't take the time to solve it. But now, I would like to finish the aimed set up of the device (home server) and would like to get this out of the way. Thanks for any suggestion.

Hi everyone, has anyone tried to make the above mentioned tuner work with Cubietruck? If so, were you successful? Again, if so, what are the necessary steps? It should be possible with kernel 4.11, since the latest LibreELEC distribution includes the drivers in kernel 4.9. Help would be appreciated! Thanks and cheers, chessplayer

Hi all, I just downloaded the Armbian(5.36 xenial-next)-based image for BPI M2 Zero, that comes with kernel 4.14.3-sunxi. I'm looking for kernel headers for this kernel, but I can't find it in armbian's repo. Could you help me to retrive them? Thank you!

I'm on an Orange Pi One with a fresh install of Armbian 5.38. I've installed build-essential and linux-headers-sun8i but not having any luck. I've also got the newest make version (4.1-9.1). Could someone point me in the right direction? EDIT: I've also attempted to use armbian-config to add headers but that hasn't seemed to work either

Hi folks Im facing with strange behavior of my cubie a20 Im booting it from sdcard since mainline armbian not support emmc (as far i know), but it boot from sdcard only when FEL button is pressed. Without FEL pressed it boot into android from emmc. In documentation i read if sdcard is present cubieboard tries boot from it which is legit. This behavior sucks when power loss occurs. My home-made router with some other stuff is offline and all other is offline. I expect to always boot from sdcard or emmc if i flash it with latest armbian. Please help if you can

I'm using an Orange pi zero H2 and currently have the pi configured as an access point. I want to be able to SSH into pi using access point wifi, then switch pi onto my home wifi network.

Greetings, I'm not good with linux so excuse any stupidity i might say. I have been using Xenial for years now and just decided to update. In the past i was using the sunxi module to access gpio's For ex: echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio_sw/PA7/data Now in Bionic i just noticed gpio's are not accessed in the same way.

Hi all, I've purchased a second hand banana pi M1 board with an BPI 7 inch LC connected on prarallel RGB. The board and the LCD is working with last bananian distribution and https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-M1-M1Plus-Configuration/blob/master/fex/BPI_M1_7lcd.fex. I'm trying to make both working with Armbian but I'm lost. I don't find the script.bin, /boot/script.bin or anywhere. And no idea how to set /boot/armbianEnv.txt for the LCD. The kernel have been rebuilded using this topic. Any help will be apreciate. Regards Hugues
