Hi, I'm trying to make my opi one act as a keyboard. I've found that I need to activate g_hid module, but when I trying to execute: modprobe g_hid it says: modprobe: FATAL: Module g_hid not found. Also, g_ether, g_mass_storage, g_multi, g_ptinter and g_serial modules are available. So, what should I do and maybe anyone can provide me an example how to send a keystroke to my pc? Thanks.

Hi everybody, I would like to use the Nanopi NEO2 as firewall and therefore would like to support testing ethernet.

Guys, please help. I installed one orange pi plus 2e and orange pi one in following way: first server image (legacy kernel) then kernel upgrade to mainline. Everything works just fine, except I do not receive kernel updates. If I understood well, kernel should be upgraded via apt dist-upgrade.. But nothing.

Hi, I am a newbie to Armbian so I apologize if this is a stupid question. I am running Armbian legacy.

Hi...Is support for using Mali GPU of Orangepi PC2 enabled for armbian? I'm trying to install the mesa-dri utilities and getting stuck in the libc-bin segmentation fault? Is it because of lack of support or something else? Also I'm getting issues of protobuf while compiling Opencv for Orangepi PC2. If anybody can help!!

Hi, I have Orange Pi Zero based on H2+ which is failed to boot Armbian_5.34_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.13.8.img Symptoms: Green power light is always on, red led next to it does not flash at all. Ethernet lights are off. I am using proper power supply and Sandisk A1 16Gb Class 10 micro sd-card. Connecting UART-USB adapter based on CP2102x to UART port next to Ethernet ports shows nothing. Exactly same setup, same hardware, no changes on connections/setup boots "Armbian_5.30_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113.img" image without any problems. UART works fine. Any ideas how I can help to test newer image?

I'm testing the nightly image: Armbian_5.32.170704_Nanopineo2_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.11.8.img I've soldered 2x female A USB ports to the NanoPi Neo2 as per the pinout http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_NEO2#Diagram.2C_Layout_and_Dimension When I plugged in wifi dongles or USB flash drives, their light comes on, but I get nothing on lsusb and dmesg. Then I realized I had D+ and D- reversed, so I swapped them for each port, but there's still absolutely nothing when connecting devices to these ports. (I know that having D+ and D- swapped doesn't cause any damage) Do I need to somehow enable the USB ports in a fex…

Hello, I have started on Armbian Ubuntu on a Orange Pi PC and have some difficults to follow the tiny font on the terminal emulator. In order to change the fontsize, I used the command "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" and choosed the Terminus font with a bigger size. But no effect after reboot. With which trick a modification can be performed? What is with the fonts marked with "framebuffer"? If a modification is not possible with the Armbian terminal emulator, can I use an alternative? So I miss a property button as available on Raspian. Thanks for yor help and best regards Walter

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…

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?

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 was able to get analog audio from the orange pi one (with some soldering of course) and its plugged into my speakers, but the sound quality is poor while using the default mpv player that came with the image. Were is the equalizer so i can change things like frequencies to make more bass or treble? The music sounds flat like from a portable dvd player.

Hi. I have made a system with O Pi Lite and Armbian to automate an aquarium from where to control the light, the bubbles and with a webcam I can see the system through the web, everything automated from Cron. From a web page I can turn on and off the lights and bubbles from web buttons. Everything is fine. The problem arises when I want to put some phisical buttons for 3 things: turn off the system, change the state of light and bubbles. I have used a code in Python and the PYA20 library. This is the code. It works very well, but when I start it with the system, the program stop working soon and the buttons stop to work. #!/usr/bin/env python from pyA20.gpio…

The next one is to edit device tree for w1-gpio to add another pin, and then to edit fixup script. And need some help to understand this ( copied from sun8i-h3-w1-gpio.dts ) fragment@0 { target = <&pio>; __overlay__ { w1_pins: w1_pins { pins = "PD14"; function = "gpio_in"; }; }; }; fragment@1 { target-path = "/"; __overlay__ { onewire@0 { compatible = "w1-gpio"; pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&w1_pins>; gpios …

After trying the ESP32, CHIP and CHIP PRO, I now have the OPI Zero+2 H5 and after much research (the Armbian forums) and testing, was unable to get USB OTG and Bluetooth working. I'm particularly interested in Bluetooth Low Energy and WIFI. WIFI worked great, simply using nmtui, worked first time. Thanks for solving the AP6212A WIFI firmware issues. However, do I understand correctly the USB OTG (I want to connect the OPI Z+2H5 micro USB to a USB hub to connect a mouse and keyboard) is not working yet? Similarly, is the AP6212A bluetooth driver/firmware being worked on at the moment? In addition, I'm waiting for some cameras to be delivered, my next project being the CSI …

Hello everyone, I am using Nanopi air and I wish to have ethernet and mass storage simultaneously. I went through numerous problems but now I have OTG working. If i try modprobe with g_serial, g_ether, or g_mass_storage, each works individually. Even g_cdc ( ethernet + serial ) and g_acm_ms ( mass storage + ethernet ) work. when I try to run : modprobe g_multi file=/sdcard.img I get the following: [ 290.720691] g_multi gadget: unable to autoconfigure all endpoints [ 290.880936] g_multi musb-hdrc.1.auto: failed to start g_multi: -524 Please help

I've installed Armbian again. Initially I logged in as root and 1234 password which worked. Then it asked to change the password. Something wen't wrong with it. My OrangePi PC boots fine and ok. When I open a terminal and try to do a "sudo this that" it asks my password and won't accept the one I gave, nor 1234. I've done the full installation a couple of times and same problem persists. How do I rest root password? The problem is that everytime I re-install everything and I'me at the very firts log (where I enter root and 1234) the screen scrolls so that I cannot see what it is asking since my monitor is 1600x1024. That I why I need to reset password afterwards. I…

Hello Everyone, At first I'm sorry for my English I started working with Ubuntu server version -> Armbian_5.30_Orangepipc_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113. For my purposes I needed to enable watchdog on my board. It took me a while, but I managed to do it. After setting up whole configuration, and then start stop tests everythink seems to work just fine (watchdog reboot my bord). To finish whole process I wanted to enable wdog to start at boot, but it didnt activate after reset. After some digging in Internet and investigation i figured out that in watchdog.service file one line is missed which was in all other services. So after a…

Hi, I am having doubts on how to use I2C ADS1115 unit on Orange Pi Lite. I already have I2C module and tools installed (see below). Thing is, where do I get the Phyton library to make use of it?

Today I was going through my cupboard and did find a original pcDuino (v1) with A10-CPU and 1GB of Ram. In my mind I got the pcDuino v2 download-page of armbian. As JohnGo did wrote May 2016 on this page is a picture of the pcDuino v1: So I checked the specifications v1 <--> v2 and found ony that v2 has only a WiFi-Board soldered where on the v1 is a additionally USB-Port. Also the v1 is missing the Arduino-Headers, but has some other pin-rows for GPIO and so on. CPU (single-Core 1Ghz) and Ram (whopping 1GB for 2012) is the same I wrote the pcDuino v2 Image to a uSD and booted it without problems. (and changed /etc/upd…

Hello, I liked to have fixed MAC address to my Orange Pi lite. At the moment, after every boot I have different one. First of all, is there "real" MAC for this board? If there is, how the see it? Then what would be correct way to set static MAC, U-boot/Scribt.bin/ifconfig...? I am running Armbian 5.14 Jessie server.

I have a rtl2838 based DVB-T dongle which was working beautifully under 3.4.112 on my cubietruck. I upgraded a couple of days ago and now I don't get any video data, although the dongle is still recognised. I see 113 includes a fat patch to the rtl2832 driver. Is there some way I can back that out, or a safe way to go back to 112?

Hy, Someone could say me if PPP is in the Kernel natively? Thanks

TL;DR: The small H2+/H3 boards unlike their bigger siblings are all prone to overheating due to smaller PCB size (on the larger boards the PCB's groundplane acts somewhat as a large heatsink dissipating heat away from the SoC). Due to mainline kernel settings not being optimized currently all these boards are slower under constant load compared to legacy kernel. This should change but won't unless someone is looking into it and spends some time on this. Two areas that deal with this overheating tendency or are somewhat related are thermal protection / throttling: use the thermal sensor(s) inside the SoC to downclock various engines if specific tre…

Good night, I have the sound problem but with hdmi audio, de default is the 3.5 mm audio jack, then I looked for the asound.conf in /etc, then I found that this file doesn't exist and after that I've created it with the following content: pcm.!default { type hw card 1 device 0 } ctl.!default { type hw card 1 } the problem is that even created this way the sound output still being the 3.5 mm jack and I don't know if I need to change some setting to mpv player to output the sound through hdmi. What else can I do to change the sound from audio jack to hdmi?

Hi all Does anyone recall if with kernel 4.9 it is required to put some patch for enabling power on the USB Host port of BananaPi? I am using vanilla kernel in another project, (LEDE) and when switching to kernel 4.9 I don't have any power from the USB port The dts is the vanilla one and AXP20x power driver is enabled Thanks!

Hello there, I am looking for some feedback/suggestion about an issue I have. Installed Armbian legacy kernel just yesterday.

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, I was wondering if anybody has managed to get rf433 receiver or emitter to work on an orangepi one ? I am trying to get this pi-switch (https://github.com/lexruee/pi-switch-python) to work. I have installed WiringOP and orangepi_PC_gpio_pyH3. I managed to get pi-switch to compile (i had to add a swap file since it was using so much memory) when i run a sniffing code i get this "wiringPiISR: unable to open /sys/class/gpio/gpio0/value: No such file or directory" Maybe there are some rf433 lib that already work with hte orangepi, not sure, i did not find any ?

Hey guys, I would like to interface a small RGB24 LCD on the H3 GPIO, similar to this on raspberry pi : https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/dpi/README.md http://blog.reasonablycorrect.com/raw-dpi-raspberry-pi Is this feature already present on armbian device tree overlay? If no, how would one make it? Could someone help drawing the big picture so I know where to start?

Hi I have NanoPi-M1 board. It has two type of Ubuntu-Core as you can see here(https://www.mediafire.com/folder/3q2911p1qp33p/NanoPi-M1Board#dc73df73c6dk6) with kernels (3.4.39 amd 4.11.2). But when I try modinfo fbtft It says there is no file or directory like this! But I think it should be exist in kernels with version above 4.10. By the way, I need this kernel support to running my LCD! Are there any Armbian version like Ubunto core with this module support on kernel? Or can I add this support to yhose Ubuntu files in above link? how?

I'm trying to use the kernel-driver (1) for a DHT11 (or DHT22) humidity sensor with my NanoPi NEO. I'm already got this sensors working with some little C example-programs in userspace.
