I suddenly have a need to test Linux 6.11 or greater, because there's a needed improvement in the panel-mipi-dbi-spi driver (thread keyword ili9488) User "The Going" has kindly advised me to try his Armbian branch with Linux 6.12, so I am here sharing results as I test it with my Orange Pi Zero 3. Initial instructions: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/35635-armbian-242-is-broken-on-orange-pi-pc2/#findComment-207980 At first try, I decided to NOT follow this step: armbian/build> egrep '^-' patch/kernel/archive/sunxi-6.12/series.conf (finds all the excluded patches) Well, I continued. Choosing Linux Edge, shallow o…

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 ?

Hello, I have't used my old Cubietruck for years but would like to use it again in a project. I downloaded the new Armbian version: Armbian_community_25.2.0-trunk.124_Cubietruck_noble_current_6.6.62_xfce_desktop.img and installed it. There is console display just fine through HDMI, but not graphical display. There seems to be some trouble before as in this discussion: I downloaded this image: https://github.com/IGNNE/cubietruck-armbian-unofficial/releases/ and it seems to work. But when it updates itself, the graphics is gone again. So - is there some old dr…

Recently I tried to connect CAN bus adapter to my Orange Pi 3 LTS board and it happened that there is not so much information about it, it is outdated or related to other boards. So, after I spent a few days in trials and errors below is my recipe. 1. Connect a CAN interface board. Orange Pi pins are not 5V tolerant, so I decided to use a dedicated 2-channel board from Waveshare: https://www.waveshare.com/2-ch-can-hat.htm (only one channel for the start). You can modify a cheap board from AliExpress though; there are instructions in the Internet. I used the PL10 pin of Orange Pi 3 LTS board as INT pin. Actually first I tried to use the PD21 pin but it seems that…

Hello, I have a new LCD which I believe is an ili4988 (although the vendor says ili9486 and st7796) https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803856059047.html I have read somewhere, that I can use an ili9341 spi driver, only by changing the resolution and changing the initialization script. I looked in the waveshare website and github, they don't have anything for the ili9488 Then, I found some arduino code in http://www.lcdwiki.com/3.5inch_SPI_Module_ILI9488_SKU%3AMSP3520 (look for the "3.5 inch SPI Module Package(ILI9488)" link, then find the LCDWIKI_SPI.cpp The initialization sequence is in line 1697: Spoiler…

Hi, does anyone know where I can find a build for linux 5.1 for my orange pi zero 2w. I would like to use fbtft device, so either finding a pre 5.4 linux build, or building one myself (In that case how so because I failed miserably) or an alternative to fbtft. Thank you very much

Flash 25.2.0 (The Latest Built Dec 01) to a SD card and boot a Orange Pi 3 LTS, Ethernet lost after sudo reboot the board. It did not even come back after physically power off and on. Have anyone experienced the same problem? The same board worked very well with Debian Bullseyes (downloaded from http://www.orangepi.org/html/hardWare/computerAndMicrocontrollers/service-and-support/Orange-pi-3-LTS.html). I googled and found Orange Pi 3B has similar problem. https://www.reddit.com/r/OrangePI/comments/1aojmn3/orange_pi_3b_ethernet_doesnt_work/

I had to freeze my device on Kernel 6.1.92 & Bullseye to remain operational. Now trying to update/upgrade to Kernel 6.6.nn I run into following probs: 1) Using Armbian-config defreeze and subsequently switch to kernel 6.6.nn works OK 4me, but subsequent apt-get update/upgrade throws me back to kernel 6.1.104. Armbian-config has changed significantly w/ No other Kernel available. 2) Using Armbian-config defreeze, only and going directly to apt-get update/upgrade throws me back to kernel 6.1.104 as well and from Bullseye back to Buster! Its a mess! Will this eventually be corrected and when? RGDS

I'm looking to build an ntp server using the OrangePi Zero 3 and I noticed there is no pps-gpio device tree overlay for the h616 chipset only the h5 chipset. Has anyone created a custom dt overlay? Thanks in advance.

This is the information on welcome screen: Packages: Ubuntu stable (jammy), possible distro upgrade (noble) Support: DIY (community maintained) I checked the release info on https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-plus-2e/ and the noble is available. I used sudo apt dist-upgrade and it found no upgrade. Is there any wrong with that? And how I can do the dist-upgrade except writing a new image?

Hello! I could find quite a bit of information about the analog video output for OrangePi Zero 2W on Armbian under Ubuntu. On Android TV-OUT works. Are there any plans to add this feature to Armbian? It is very critical for me. If no one plans to do this now, then I would be extremely grateful for advice from experts on how to port / modify existing drivers, perhaps take something from the AndroidTV 12 code, where the video output works? I am a developer, but I have not previously dealt with driver development for Linux, but if I understand in which direction to act, then using ChatGPT sooner or later I should be able to cope. I would be very grateful for any he…

I am listed as the community maintainer for the Banana Pi M2 Zero. I haven't actually done any maintaining but I am thinking about doing so now. But before I do, a couple of quick questions. 1) The latest build (as far as I can see), is Aug-31st, 2023. Do I have that right? Or am I missing something? 2) The main page for the Banana Pi M2 Zero (https://www.armbian.com/bananapi-m2-zero/) shows a link to Armbian_community_24.11.0-trunk.273_Bananapim2zero_bookworm_current_6.6.54_minimal.img.xz which is for "Minimal/IOT images with Armbian Linux v6.6".

I compiled an environment for an Orange Pi zero using CSC, Edge , Jammy, console server, standard. I didn't change any of the defaults.

Since there isn't an Orange Pi Three forum I am going to post it here. Due to python requirements for PiKVM I installed the latest Jammy build. When i did the install everything looked like it worked but I could not get the remote keyboard and mouse to work with the OTG port. I tried changing the dtb but it didn't work. Comments in the kvmd-armbian discord channel recommended trying a different kernel. After trial and error I found OTG worked with kernel 6.10.9-edge-sunxi64 and remote keyboard and mouse functioned. With the default 6.6 kernel the ethernet port didn't work, but wireless worked. I was also able to get my mt7921u USB wireless adapter to work. In 6.10.9 the …

Hello! I've downloaded the current images for BananaPi M1 offered in the site, as "Community Maintained" builds, but none of them is capable of producing video output from HDMI nor composite video. Both the Ubuntu jammy and Debian12 versions lose the video output as soon as the kernel starts to load, after the u-boot screen. I tried the desktop and server images, without any luck. With the older 5.x kernel, the ubuntu-jammy image that I've downloaded before loads fine. I know it's an old board, but it still gives me some amusement time tinkering with it and playing retro games. Anyone experiencing the same problem? Thanks!

Which is the correct overlay to specify for libcamera support for the Arducam IMX219? I am assuming this would go into /boot/armbianEnv.txt ? The packages libcamera0.3 libcamera-tools libcamera-v4l2 installed properly, however, all examples on the net apply to PIs and not the OrangePiZero... Thanks in advance.

I want to use GPIO Pi16 on the 13 pin expansion header of the board. This pin is claimed by the kernel for the ethernet MAC.

Good morning, I am having some problems with the i2c-1 bus, as it sometimes gets stuck even though I have external pull-up resistors. I need to be able to reset the bus to fix it and check the status of the channels, but I don’t know which Linux GPIO corresponds to the physical pins that the kernel associates with PA18 and PA19. I have tried using wiringPi, but it doesn’t indicate this. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

I've tinkering with this board, and trying to boot from spl, but the boot halts after reading the temperature sensors, which does not happen when booting from the sd card. After booting from the sd card I read the sensor that causes the problem # cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp 51740 I found in a forum some kernel patches to mitigate this: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/support-for-orangepi-zero2-h616-ddr3-zero3-and-zero-2w-h618-lpddr4/154679 Why does it fail when booting from spl, and not when booting from the sd?

I want to completely disable display subsystem on Orange Pi Zero LTS (Debian 12 (Bookworm) minimal/IoT build 1 oct 2024). I blacklisted the GPU modules (lima, gpu_sched, drm_shmem_helper), but i can't find a way to disable sun4i-drm. Is there a way to disable it completely w/o recompiling the kernel?

I'm testing different firmware versions for OrangePi 3 LTS a bit and I have to mention that version: Armbian_community_24.11.0-trunk.202_Orangepi3-lts_noble_current_6.6.44_gnome-kisak_desktop.img It has a flaw that can cause some trouble for beginners, i.e. after installing, the system automatically goes to the suspend option after 15 minutes 🙂 Disabling the suspend option completely helps, but it then prevents you from using the suspend option by clicking the button on the board 🙂 This is probably an error related to both battery and mains power supply. https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/gnome-suspends-after-15-minutes-of-user-inactivity-even-on-…

Hi, I have managed to install u-boot on the spl flash, and it properly runs and detects everything, but i've run into a bit of an issue, while loading the kernel, it gets stuck.

Hi, I have problems with NanoPi NEO on Allwinner H3 due to sudden sporadic Linux kernel overheating shut down. I'm using the Linux kernel 4.14 on Debian Trixie.

"iotop" shows all processes <1%. And when measuring the chips, all are cool at below 40°C It looks like the CPU suddenly get into a hot-state above 80°C, because it stays there for hours independent from the process load.

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…

Hello everybody, I'm new in armbian and Cubietruck. It looks to me that bluetooth is installed but if I scan for devices no devices will be found.

I believe that ethernet adaptor is not working properly because there's only one led blinking and its unable to receive ip address. I have tried to configure it with yaml files and manually with networkd and with static ip. I also tried to run dhcp on that interface and it received random ip outside of my network. Had no luck with network-manager either, it threw an error "ip configuration could not be reserved" With desktop image ethernet worked with no problem. So maybe there's a driver issue?

Hi you all. I'm trying for a couple of day now to solve an annoying problem with the USB and some Bananapi M2 zeros. I have two cluster-hats with 4 Bananapi M2 zeros as nodes. The cluster hat presents itself as a USB gadget (USB ethernet interface) to the nodes allowing networking between the controller and the nodes. The nodes work fine with kernel 5.9.8, the modules identify the hat as a network interface and everything works as expected. My trouble is that I'm creating new images for the nodes (bananapi m2 zero) from here, the nodes boots, but it seems like the OTG port is not behaving as expected. Followed instructions from these posts:…

Hello, I have a fully working customized Armbian on OrangePi PC Plus. There are two partitions, one for the rootfs, second mounted as /home I want to convert the root partition to squashfs, and use the squashfs file to boot from. I already converted the root partition to squashfs file, I can mount squashfs file, and the contents are correct. I even tried to mount it via fstab and it works. I searched everywhere, obviosly not enough, but I cannot find a way to boot directly from the squashfs file. The idea is to have only squashfs file and rw partition for /home Please, can somebody help me, or point me to the right instructions ?

I have recently been trying to get my spi ili9341 working under kernel 6.6, having gotten it working previously. I checked to ensure there were no changes in the overlay required by the newer kernel. I confirmed that the pins were configured correctly and that the ILI9341 DRM module had loaded.. Despite this I was met with a white screen. Think I must have missed something I swapped out my SD card for another using an image based on kernel 5.15.88, where I was able to recieve a display. Looking back over the dmesg log, I noticed a slight difference in behaviour with the older kernel. firstly we can clearly see that the SPI driver is requesting to use gpio 34 as…

Hi - is there anywhere a working guide to create a Wifi Access Point with this board ? I have tried the official debian ISO from orange pi and doing so with create_ap is very easy. I'd like to use armbian instead but using the "Minimal / IOT image with Armbian Linux v6.6" (bookworm) all I get is hell: I installed network-manager and armbian-config then used the later to try the hotspot configuration but then (several freezes and reboots after) it complains that "Unit hostapd.service is masked" and when I solve that, then dnsmasq fails and I see no helpful error message. I even tried connecting to a wifi network first before trying hot…

Hi, I think I'm right in saying that this board once had standard support? I noticed it is now community support and the download page lists that there might be Wi-Fi issues. I have this link for previous builds: https://armbian.hosthatch.com/archive/orangepizero/archive/ Is there a way of knowing when standard support stopped and community support started etc? Thanks!

Hello, I've got some problems with a Cubietruck. First thing to state is that the com-port apparently has died. It was connected via a USB-converter 3,3v and worked flawlessly for a long time. I replaced it with a new one but no go. In the beginning no problem, I could use SSH. Second thing is that the hard disk became erroneous. I bought a bigger model but no boot. I thought that the UUID-entry in /etc/fstab caused this and changed it via tune2fs to the old one, but still no boot. Thus I could no longer use SSH! And I cannot mount the old harddisk, it's to erroneous! Third thing is that I tried with a new image, and the cubie seems to fina…

Hello, I am very sorry that I have to leave the Armbian flock, but the Dietpi-Distro is so much better. It simply boots off the SD-Card on my NanoPi NeoCore and the darned Ethernet simply works; also the DTB overlay files work, so the additional I2C and UART hardware works in Dietpi. And the kernel is 6.x too ! However, the NanoPi Neocore is shipped with an outdated Armbian (using Kernel 4.x) on EMMC. What I now want is to replace the prepared EMMC Armbian distro with whatever is on my SD-Card, but this task is more difficult than I tought. What I would need is to simply copy the whole SD-Card to EMMC, but the recommended "dd if='sdcard...' of='emmc...'...." co…

Can anyone suggest method that works with the above OS/build please? Thanks! Rob.

I've had an Orange Pi 3 LTS for a couple of months now. I bought it for use as a home theater tv box. I thought I'd use the official orange pi ubuntu release, but it turned out to be really outdated and broken. So I have been trying to get Armbian to work. After a lot of troubleshooting and time spent reading docs and forums, I can't get the thing to play video properly. It plays but is terrible quality and stutters constantly. I've determined that panfrost is working. In orangepi-config, under Hardware, it says the GPU is enabled. But when I run glmark2 I get a score of 100 or less no matter what I do. I've tried old builds of armbian for the pi 3 lts and the…

hi all, i had a orange pi zero board that worked fine until yesterday. MY BOARD IS ORANGEPI ZERO (not 2) i upgraded the OS armbian : Linux orangepizero 6.6.31-current-sunxi #1 SMP Fri May 17 10:02:40 UTC 2024 armv7l GNU/Linux the board worked fine until the last reboot in order to test octopi startup, but before this reboot the OS was upgraded and rebooted the issue now is that the wlan0 seems to be always down i do a lot of setup but it still to remain down, i am not a very expert with these board but i am very new with this kind of issue. can anyone help me with the troubleshooting ? …

Hi @ertugrul and @afaulkner420. I was trying to create a bootable drive for the orangepi 3 lts and it always fails in validation in balenaEtcher. I tried even with that and it does not seems to work. The non-desktop versions worked however. I didn't see any error messages during the flashing and everything else seemed to work well. Thanks, Ashish

Hi, I am trying to get a led matrix to work via the SPI interface but cannot get it to work. I have enabled the interface and have an spi-device under /dev and there is a spi-module loaded. I have tried to connect MOSI and MISO to run spidev-test and everything seems to be fine but when I connect the led-matrix simply nothing happens. I can run the example-scripts from the luma-matrix library without getting an error - but there is simply nothing appearing on the matrix - however it does light up when I touch it on the backside... i have tried to use different values for param_spidev_spi_bus and param_spidev_spi_cs in a…

After orangepiplus upgraded the kernel, the native wifi interface card disappeared. Output log of sudo armbianmonitor -u: https://paste.armbian.com/ilufiwukav Currently, after upgrading the kernel to 6.6.36-current-sunxi, the native wlan0 will disappear.

I came across this thread but don't think I could get the reset button working (as it should). What am I missing? I followed exactly the correct 'short-ed' pins as the pic, but still no luck. Please suggest. Thanks!

I configured my opi to work as a composite usb gadget (mouse and rndis). Everything works, but the actual refresh rate of the mouse was 250 Hz. I tried to configure bInterval, which is responsible for the device update frequency, this could only be done by rebuilding the kernel with bInterval changes in the high-speed descriptor structures from 4 to 1 in the file drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_hid.c. It had an effect. But the frequency only rose to 500 Hz. I tried to find what could limit this, I looked in drivers/usb/dwc2/gadget.c and also in composite.c but I couldn’t find anything. Now I don’t know where to look next or i missed sth.. drivers/usb/gadget/func…

My friend, when he next inserted the microSD card into the Orange Pi Zero 2 slot, the microSD slot fell off the board 😞 It is not possible to solder it because some of the tracks on the board have become detached so Is it possible to run the ArmBian system on OZPi v2 with a copy of the microSD system on a USB Pendrive? I am looking for a method to run OZIPI v2 without microSD on the system via USB disk

I built an image for the `orangepi-z-2w` via `./compile.sh build BOARD=orangepizero2w BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=no BUILD_MINIMAL=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=bookworm`. The wifi connects (shows as active), however, I am unable to get on the internet (pinging results in `network is unreachable`, also can't ping the device itself). Am I building wrong? Thanks! Some notes: - I've been using `Armbian_24.2.6_Orangepizero2w_bookworm_current_6.6.28.img.xz` in the past (downloaded from armbian.com), and the wifi works just fine.

I have my Orange Pi running for a while on the CLI release of Jammy with kernel version: 6.6.16. It has been working well. I was building another one up and I went to download Armbian and I noticed that OrangePiZero is community supported now (Don't think it was before?). The current version to download says that network issues are expected. I never had this on 6.6.16 so wanted to stay on that. I looked here: https://armbian.hosthatch.com/archive/orangepizero/archive/ But there is only minimal for 6.6.16, all/most others have minimal and CLI (typical, the one I want lol) Is there somewhere else I could find the CLI vers…

Hi I'm trying to understand how to enable Uart 2 for serial communication with a mcu on the banana pi (trying to connect a board running klipper to it). I connected the Uart of the board to CON1-P08 and CON1-P10 of the Banana PI M3 according to all i can find those pins are tx/rx for UART2.

Hi there, I'm trying to set up AP + STA on wlan0 using Orange Pi Zero 2W and Orange Pi Zero 3 with the Armbian image. I managed to do this on a Raspberry Pi Zero W. I encountered a problem: when creating a virtual access point, the process hangs and cannot be killed. Any attempt to view the logs after starting the process also leads to a hang, and only a reboot helps. This problem does not occur on the Raspberry Pi. I use the command: sudo iw phy phy0 interface add ap0 type __ap. For testing, I added an external USB Wi-Fi module to the Orange Pi Zero 3 and managed to create a virtual access point on it without any problems or hangs, so this problem only occurs …

Hi everyone! I wonder if modifying the "fbdev" driver to use Mali GPU to improve gaming performance is possible.

Back in March I ran into problems with the community builds for the NanoPi Neo, for Debian Bookworm. It would boot up initially, but within 30 minutes or so, it would crash. So I did a fresh install from the last official build I had saved from June 2023: Armbian_23.5.2_Nanopineo_bookworm_current_6.1.30 And then I froze these packages to keep the working firmware and kernel: armbian-firmware/bookworm,bookworm 24.2.1 all [upgradable from: 23.05.1--1-SAfece-B6ae3] linux-dtb-current-sunxi/bookworm 24.2.1 armhf [upgradable from: 23.05.1--6.1.30-Sa343-D8bc9-P73a0-C162eHfe66-HK01ba-V014b-B9c18] linux-image-current-sunxi/bookworm 24.2.1 armhf [upgra…

Hi, I've been running the OMV7 latest with the armbian headless latest. I've set the power button for powering the system off in the OMV's gui. When the system is "on" I can power the system down by short press on the power button, the system powers off after aprox 10 seconds (so hopefully a clean shut down), the power led and network led get off, but the USB HDD (external 2.5in 320GB WD) still shows activity after power down - the activity led on it blinks (like 5 blinks per second) and I can hear a light clicking in aprox 1sec intervals. The disk does not spin, however (I cannot hear the spinning). I've been using a battery backup (3.7V lion) wired to the BPi M1 bo…

I've seen this question asked quite frequently here and all the posts end before there is a solution. I think it's time we had a crystal clear discussion on how it can be done. Not just for my curiosity, but for the people who've asked before and for the people who will ask in the future. The reason: Many hats/shields designed for RaspberryPi would otherwise be compatible with OrangePi if Armbian/u-boot didn't direct the debug output to UART0. UART0 is the most commonly used serial connection for hats/shields designed for RaspberryPi. OrangePi has multiple UART gpio so it would make sense for the O.S. (Armbian) to use the one that least impacts the…

Suddenly my board stopped booting from mmc card. I also tried to boot it from Sandisk A1 class card but with no success. Do ypu think it is hardware malfunction or something else?

Good day, Is there a manual how to do that with the latest Armbian versions? Since my SBC have internal NAND and SSD installed, but still need a SD card to boot fom it?

I'm trying to enable GPU support for watching youtube on orange pi 2 zero w model. But there is no Mali driver and even kernel package How can I enable this?

good morning everyone, I installed Armbian 23.02.2 on orangepizero about a year ago without ever having a problem . Today it suddenly stopped booting and I can't get it to start again and that's what I'm interested in, also possibly to recover internal docker configurations. The orangepizero is powered by a 3A power supply under UPS and properly cooled, if I use the latest release on a new SD it works perfectly, so I think it is not a hardware problem. The SD with Armbian 23.02.2 is not corrupted and I can read every part of it. Does anyone know any tricks to get it running again?

Hi. I would like to know if someone can help me. I was successfully able to compile armbian 6.6.30 with all of @Stephen Graf patches for my orangepi zero 3 having Full Audio working even on HDMI. see below for reference. Now I have a 2nd project. It runs the h616 with 2GB DDR3 RAM with AXP313. Can someone help me with a patch for the AXP313 on h616. Or alternatively, could my h618 orangepi zero 3 setup work if I patch it to run with DDR3? If so where can I find such a patch. Thanks in advance.

Good afternoon. I don't know how to solve a small problem. There is Orange Pi Lite. It runs its own program. The program uses spi-dev and display. You need to compile drivers for the network card. And then a problem arose. I cannot install linux-headers-current-sunxi on a working distribution (the latest one available on the website Armbian_23.02.2 5.15.93 ). And if you set “Community maintained”, then it is impossible to enable spi-dev and the display (Arbian-Config is missing in the repository) How to solve this problem?

Hello Armbian community, Firstly, thank you for the amazing work that you do. Having Armbian has made the setup process so simple, and I really appreciate that I'm completely new to the world of SBCs and Armbian (but not Linux), and this issue had me stumped for a long time. I wanted to share the solution for those who are in the same position as me, as I only found this on Raspberry Pi resources. Sorry if this has already been covered elsewhere in the forums - my searches didn't show any answers from here, and additionally, I keep getting time-locked (forced to wait 30sec) for every forum search. The model of OPI I have is the Orange Pi Zero 2…
