Allwinner sunxi

Hey folks! On monday I was able to fix the overscanning issue of my Orange Pi zero (read here). Because fiddling around with the register values can be pretty harsh some times I decided to created a small programm to move the picture of the composite video output. You can find the project page here: https://projects.nwrk.biz/projects/allwinner-tvout With this tool you can easily move the picture relative to its actual position by just calling : $ sudo tvout -m -x <value in px> -y <value in px> To reset the position you can use: $ sudo tvout -r I hope some of you may find this useful. If I have enoug…

Hi, when I try to connect to OPi Zero via USB TTL (PL2303) and run minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 115200 -o, it seems to be normal until it booted to the Kernel then it start outputing garbage but when it started without USB TTL it just work normally U-Boot SPL 2019.04-armbian (Jul 16 2019 - 10:53:57 +0200) DRAM: 256 MiB Trying to boot from MMC1 U-Boot 2019.04-armbian (Jul 16 2019 - 10:53:57 +0200) Allwinner Technology CPU: Allwinner H3 (SUN8I 1680) Model: Xunlong Orange Pi Zero DRAM: 256 MiB MMC: mmc@1c0f000: 0, mmc@1c10000: 1 Loading Environment from EXT4... ** File not found /boot/boot.env ** ** Unable to read "/boot/boot.env" from mmc0:1 ** In: serial Out:…

It took me a while to get this ILI9340 based LCD monitor working with the Orange Pi Zero until I found a post on this forum that explains how the H2+ ports are mapped to the GPIO numbers in the Linux kernel. So I built an online tool that does the math for you: Here is a map of all the Orange Pi Zero GPIO pins: All the additional details are described in this blog post.

Armbian_5.59_Nanopineo2_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.14.65.img does not see the sound codec at all. The status matrix here: http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort#Status_Matrix tells that Audio Codec should be supported since kernel 4.12 on H3 (H2+ is the same, as far as I know). But Armbian does not see the audio codec nor on NanoPi Neo2 (H5), nor even on on NanoPi Duo (H2+), although all the img files I used have 4.14 in their name. However, even with FriendlyElec's own image nanopi-neo2_ubuntu-oled_4.14.52_20180628.img there is a different issue - the sound is mono instead of stereo! I tried speaker-test: speaker-test -…

Hi, I'm trying to boot from SATA the original OrangePI: Using the Jessie "Linux orangepi 4.9.12-sunxi #4 SMP Thu Feb 23 19:46:51 CET 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux" Followed this thread: https://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/329-moving-linux-to-sata-or-external-drive/ - copied to /dev/sda1 - edited /boot/boot.cmd and changed to /dev/sda1 - edited the mounted sda1 fstab and changed / to SATA drive UUID - compiled: mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.scr Rebooted but Orange Pi still boots from mSD card and does not use SATA drive. Question: Should I use UUID of the SATA drive in /boot/boot.cmd?

Hello, my opi+2 sometimes dies after long running times and becomes so hot that I cannot touch it. When I looked to logs, I saw kernel panic errors like, you know, tons of meanless numbers. I can provide any information you want. It's been few hours since I started it but here are logs. http://sprunge.us/jJSK Probably it had had 0.05 15 min load before it died. I couldn't see the message I saw before, probably they got removed from the system after few minutes. I'll send you newer logs after I get accurate errors again. This may take a week, or few days.

Is there anyone who can give me some examples or description how to work with I/O, SPI, I2C, UART, TCP, and so on in Armbian (for example C code)?

Hello, on my cubietruck, I tried to upgrade a working hostpad install with the one provided by the armbian repository. After upgrade, hostapd fails to start. Is there any particular prerequisite to using the armbian version ? Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi, is there a way to enable HDMI output for a cubietruck? During boot I get some display output till "starting kernel" than the screen gets black.

Hello, I have OPI0 with Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS with Linux 5.8.6-sunxi and I would like to set 240 MHz as minimum frequency. cpufreq-info shows that available steps starts at 480 MHz but on older kernel 240 MHz and 120 MHz were available too. I also tried to "force" 240 and 120 by editing /etc/default/cpufrequtils but no go.

Hello all. I am having problems making nand-sata-install script work for installing to my external HDD. I used this (or similar) script in the past on loboris' images and it was working. After some time and experimenting with other images etc. I settled on Armbian, everything worked great, until I started the same script. I made 30 ish GB partition for the system and leave the rest as NTFS storage partition for mounting it later on the OS. But with armbian's script, i couldn't get my HDD to work with it. I am choosing to boot from sd and system from USB (sata) option, choosing the correct partition (/dev/sda2 in this example) and starting the process but it f…

Hi, I have OPi One Plus (H6) and I didn't find a way to access/control the GPIO's and the UART in the 26Pin connector. Is there a drivers release or a way to do it. thanks, Yohay

i am installing instapy but have problem with start python file. He's need glibc_2.33 version But latest armbian have 2.31 How to update glibc on OrangePi PC? Or u know how to fix that problem

cheers, new to this, so far have created xenial core, installed virtualbox, built xenial with 4 cpu, 8gb ram, 120Gb vdk, and successfully installed armbian kernel and OS build tools. Was able to build several OPi kernels, then noticed there was only option for OPi + not OPi+ 2 and it appears to only support 1GB of the 2GB available. Its this a viable option? will it automatically do 2GB on boot or is it specifically limited? Not sure which parameters to change. Also looking for an accurate schematic of the Orange Pi Plue 2 would appreciate it if someone can send me a link. My application is to setup SPI and i2C and from weeks of reading this …

Hi, I installed Armbian image 20.8.1-focal-5.8.5 to Orange Pi PC. I am experiencing issues with playing sounds (tested with playing .wav files). Upon starting playback first 1-2 seconds are omitted and then sound plays as it should. I didn't notice this issue on Xenial (3.4.113). Issue is identical to the ones reported in following threads: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/12059-orange-pi-lite-missing-first-second-of-the-audio-output/ https://forum.armbian.com/topic/12059-orange-pi-lite-missing-first-second-of-the-audio-output/ Has anyone managed to solve it? Thanks

Hi all, I speak with BPI and the A31S chip of bpi-m2, will be change with the quad core H3... If i buy this board we will work with armbian 5.10 of bpi-m2? i need to download and install something for the compatibility with the H3? The idea is migrate the system to H3 Best regards

I buy a touchscreen, with gt811 chip. After that, I google this post: So I try to install new kernel for H3 device. I read this page - https://www.armbian.com/kernel/ and install linux-image-dev-sun8i package. But after reboot my pi board don't work (see pic). How to install this new image properly? Sorry for my English.

Hi Iam a newbie working on OrangePi and I have an orangepi pc plus board and I have installed Armbian_5.38_Orangepipcplus_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop on it. I have two user account created on the OS. Lets say user1 and user2. When i reboot the orangepi, it auto logins using user1, instead i want it to auto login using user2. Kindly help me. Thanks in advance, Girish

Hey, i hope this has not been answered already but i could not find it. I also hope this is the right place to report it. The orange pi + does not appear in the list of devices https://www.armbian.com/download/?tx_maker=xunlong but there is a download page for it you can reach by the search. https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-plus/ i assume its a bug in the web page?

Hello Community! I am struggling with assigning numbers to I2C buses in my BPi, doing the same(?) thing in two different ways i am getting two different results. By default, there is only /dev/i2c-0 node available, AFAIK because HDMI uses this bus. 1. Using build-in overlay for i2c0 bus (overlays=i2c0 in /boot/armbianEnv.txt) enables another i2c bus. In this case, /dev/i2c-0 is the bus connected to pins 3 and 5 at 40-pin header. The other bus (enabled by default) becomes /dev/i2c-1. It doesn't matter how many times i reset my board, assignment doesn't change. 2. The second way is to create my own overlay by cloning this code and …

This may be one of those questions that should be considered dumb, but I'll risk your flames and ask regardless. Is the Orange Pi ONE GPIO Pin layout the same as the Raspberry Pi? I haven't found much specific to GPIO on the Orange Pi One, but I did see someone who said they were flipped 180 from the RPI. Before I attach a project and risk frying project and./or board, could you point me to a reference that specifies the layout of the GPIO pins on the Orange Pi ONE? And, like I said, I'm really sorry if this is the dumbest thing you've had to read all day. I have searched, but could not find much specific to the ONE.

Lucky me received a Beelink X2 as a gift days ago. I flashed Legacy 3.4.112 to a Samsung EVO and am pretty stoked to see this display on an HDMI TV. It doesn't display to DVI but I saw reference to h3disp, so I have hope this applies. I'd like to incorporate a Traveller mode (I made that up) that can be set so the unit knows monitors are likely to change and find an automatic way for this to detect DVI. I'll also get a cheap USB soundcard and output to a monitor that has a soundbar and avoid SPDIF for a while. That's about it: play tutorials and enjoy what Armbian can do. I can't tell you how blown away I am with this neat little Beelink X2, or how much I'm in aw…

Hi, Just a quick question as Debian Stretch has been out for a while now: Will there be an official upgrade of ARMBIAN for the Cubietruck (Cubieboard 3) at some point or is there a simple doc on how to upgrade the distribution? I run ARMBIAN with the legacy kernel (3.4.113-sun7i). Everything required for the system boot is in the NAND while the root and /home partitions are on the sdd. Would it be possible to upgrade to Stretch just by replacing the version name in the sources.list file? If there won't be any automated ARMBIAN upgrades to Stretch for this device. Would you recommend using the official Debian distribution (and bo…

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

In the context of this topic, after removing network-manager and configuring the network "the old way", via /etc/network/interfaces, what is the proper way to make sure that the WiFi radio is not emitting? I plan to place my OPi Zero next to the router (wired connection) and I want to make sure there's no unneeded radio interference. My /etc/network/interfaces: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp

Hi all, I've a bananapi 1 and would like to follow this guide to attach to my board directly a Zigbee device CC2530+CC2591: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/information/connecting_cc2530.html#wiring-cc2530-to-the-raspberry Then, I've connected it using exactly the same schema, which should be the same on BananaPi, based on http://wiki.lemaker.org/File:Banana_Pro_CON6_Definetion.png VCC -> 3,3V (Pin1) GND -> GND (Pin6) P02 -> TXD (Pin8) P03 -> RXD (Pin10) Then, I've tried to connect to serial via minicom: minicom -b 115200 -o -D /dev/ttyS2 BTW I'm not getting any info from the device, so what I'm doing wrong?

Can the opi zero decode anything above 1080p? I want to decode a 3MP h.264 stream (2048*1538) and re-encode it to 1080p and serve over RTSP. do I need to get an H3 for that? the wiki says http://linux-sunxi.org/H2%2B#Variants Is that HDMI specific or lack of GPU power for decoding? Will that be pushing it too much even on an OPI PC?

CONFIG_BTRFS_FS_CHECK_INTEGRITY is not enabled in config. When I tried to enable it in the armbian build system, I saw the word "DANGEROUS". Is this an unstable (or dangerous) feature ? Should I enabled it and use it ? if not, how to ensure data integrity ?

Hi, Sorry, I don't know if correct topic, but I have a Orange PI 3 and have problem with DNS resolution. I tried with image Armbian_5.82.19042 based in Debian and Ubuntu but is imposible make to work. I added the line net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf file but this change not resolved the problem. For example if I try to ping www.google.com sometime take a 25 second for DNS resolve to IP address. I don't see any problem with my local network because I have other devices that not have any problem with DNS resolution. Please, your help.

Hi Yesterday after installing weewx I uninstall python 2 but well.... something went wrog because there was no welcome screen login with ssh.

I've attached armbianmonitor url Thanks in advance

Hello, Is possible to connect my printer to the USB OTG with an adapter ? The printer (HP PSC1215) is pretty old and doesn't have an ethernet port, so I would like to share it over network with my OPI One. The native usb port is used already. I was thinking to buy an adapter USB OTG to USB and to connect the printer here. I'm asking here because I'm not very sure how does OTG works. I'm running ARMBIAN Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 3.4.113-sun8i. Thanks !

Hi all I'm trying to set up a samba AD domain on a BananaPi M1+ running Armbian 5.31 (Debian Jessie) but fail miserably when trying to provision the domain.

Hello Igor, first of all thank you very much for your efforts. I used Armbian in the past and wanted install some up-to-date version. However this fails/hangs independent of selected OS either at 'armbian-resize-filesystem' or 'Flush Journal to persistent storage'. The first boot may take some >15min if succeeds. However i can't login after as it accepts no keyboard input. I started testing upwards from very old version (sorry, i downloaded many and only few by Torrent, but i did send you some donation to cover this). Up to Armbian_20.08.2_xxx_5.8.6 it works well, irrespective of debian/ubuntu flavor. So, the bug came with Armbian_20.11…

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.

Hey there. I used to run an Octoprint server on my Orange Pi Zero H2+ installed over armbian, which got swapped with a raspberry pi for unimportant reasons. I wanted to switch back, but for all of the armbian builds listed here for Orange Pi Zero, I am just getting a green light on the board and some blinking of the orange indicator only from the Ethernet Jack. Is this expected? This is happening with multiple SD-cards an two Orange Pi Zeros. All of the OS images from http://www.orangepi.org/ seem to work just fine, as well as an old "debian_server_for_orangepizero_v0_9_2.img" I found, so I'm going that route for now. But I can't image this is expecte…

Is it possible to include an older kernel in my build? Something along the 3.x era? I really need to get an OV5640 working, and it would seem that 5.x kernels don't work with it. The thread is for an orange Pi, but I have a banana pi. Either way, it's an allwinner A20 and I've struck out getting the camera to be detected.

Your kernel does not appear to be compiled with support for unprivileged user namespaces (CONFIG_USER_NS=y), or something else is preventing creation of user namespaces. This feature is critical for sandboxing. Arch Linux is known to ship with a kernel that disables this feature; if you are using Arch, you will unfortunately need to compile your own kernel (see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36969).If you are not using Arch, and don't know why your system wouldn't have user namespaces, please file a bug against Sandstorm so we can figure out what happened. .....anyone? Thanks! (going to try compiling now, but figured I'd ask.…

I know Banana pi had issues in the past connecting at gigabit speeds. I thought that was a fixed problem, though. I did a fresh Jessie server install today and it still connects at 100 megabit. Is there a user action that must be taken? According to http://linux-sunxi.org/LeMaker_Banana_Pi the GMAC wasn't supported in the community kernel but should be in later kernels. Is this still an issue? How does one set GMAC_TX_DELAY to 3? Is that a config file thing or a patch that needs to be applied? Are other Banana Pi owners just living with 100 megabit speeds?

Hi I need to execute some command when system is going down for halt/poweroff. I need to know this inside my script /etc/init.d/myScript which is called when system is going down. I used to do it by checking $runlevel variable and if it is set to 0, then system was going down for halt, it was working for instance in Raspbian a few years ago. However, in my Linux cubieboard2 4.9.12-sunxi Armbian this variable is not set, and when I execute "runlevel" command inside "STOP" case in myScript it says it is in N 5 runlevel which is not true because I have executed poweroff All tips are welcome Best Regards Marek

Does somebody know if there are any size limitations connecting external USB HDD to Orange Pi One ? I'm thinking to buy a 3TB Seagate Desktop Expansion drive (it's self powered) to set-up my OPi as torrent box (now it's working with 1TB drive, aslo from Seagate). Thank you !

Hello, I am trying to get my Orange Pi One working with my ili9488 LCD screen. I followed a few "how-to's" , This one in particular There is a comment there that mentions how to do it on the Orange Pi. Also this post here.

Does anyone know of a comprehensive how-to on getting this screen to work?

Hello, I am using the Armbian_5.38_Orangepizero_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.14 image on an OPi zero (H2+ chip). I tried to get "some sound" out of the LINEOUTL and right pins at the expansion port. However, alsa executables like aplay report that there is no sound card. (see below) I testet also with a non-root user (which is in the audio group). My initial guess was that there must some additioanl kernel modules loaded. As I understand, however, the lsmod output, (2) below, should be ok. What it is thing to do to see soundcard(s), e.g. as /dev/dsp? Do I need to set files such as ~/.asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf as a prereq…

Hello folks, Based on the important amount of work you guys put in the H3 support and the great progress you've made, thank you for that, I am seriously considering buying an Orange Pi Plus (I need Gigabit Ethernet for my application). I need a server config with remote desktop via vnc, rootfs on SATA HDD, good ethernet performance, don't need Wifi, 24/7/365 operation. I just noticed there is two versions of the Orange Pi Plus, the "regular/original" with 1GB of memory and the "Plus 2" with 2GB of memory. Considering the price difference I am thinking of going with the "Plus 2", more memory never hurts, and I was wondering if I would encounter any issue using the …

Deferring probe [ 1.806320] sun50i-usb3-phy 5210000.phy: failed to get phy clock which from my limited experience with linux kernel seems to indicate that the device tree config may be incorrect for the board - as most searching for these errors show the code added as part of updates to get the pine64 board's usb 3.0 stack working. USB 2.0 sock…

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…

Please help. Hello everyone, please help me out. I urgently need to enable secure boot on my Allwinner H3 Nanopi neo core. I tried following the instructions from the forum https://forum.armbian.com/topic/3033-h3-soc-boot-rom-security-e-fuse/#findComment-84051 . But I couldn't burn the E-Fuse. At stage 5, when loading ./sunxi-fel -v -p write 0x2000 of the compiled code and checking whether the changes were applied, sunxi-fel sid/list/version doesn't work. I have to reboot the board, and then I see no result. Please help me solve this problem and burn it so that the bootloader signature is present and it is impossible to boot from the SD card using third-party means. Pleas…

@dear Igior and others My R1 fw1 run fine past 2 month with the 3.19.3. now its time to move to 4.0.x Igor - many thanks for KERNEL_CONFIGURE at your scripting implementing . This shortcut my work with automated rebuild kernel an bit -- but not fully. I have the need to been able to push my own kernel .config into your https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib in an automated way. But how about to push an custom .config into that? welll ... My suggestion are here top add i.e at your compile.sh : KERNEL_CUSTOM_CONFIG="/path/file" if file env set , use it instead from default patched kernel .config How you think about this Idea ?

Hi everyone, after getting Igor's image for Jessie with kernel 3.4.109 on January 10th, I did an upgrade and now I get: uname -a Linux cubieVDR 3.4.110-sun7i #10 SMP PREEMPT Mon Dec 28 11:48:43 CET 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux However, unfortunately I also get modprobe bcmdhd modprobe: FATAL: Module bcmdhd not found. According to http://www.armbian.com/documentation/, it does not say anything about having to do something special to obtain the module in the section called "How to set wireless access point?". Also, on another machine running kernel 3.4.108, everything is working fine (see my post in this forum). What do I need to do to get the AP working? Cheers…

Can it be done by editing script file in /boot? What exactly do I need to change to switch them off? Thank you very much!

Hi, I've installed the latest available xenial image for orangepizeroplus2-h5 and also upgraded all the packages, so currently running on 4.14.14-sunxi64.

Hi all. Firstly, sorry I had posted this query in the wrong forum. I´m trying to add support for a raw SPI comunication through SPI0, as it´s a custom comunication with a little auxiliary board, I think best option is to have a spidev device. My scenario is: Banana pi m2 ultra Armbian 5.4.35-sunxi, server (No gui). I have been modifying .dts and .dtsi files, here are parts of the files that I modified: sun8i-r40.dtsi spi0_pins: spi0-pins { pins = "PC0", "PC1", "PC2"; function = "spi0"; }; spi0: spi@1c05000 { compatible = "allwinner,sun8i-spi"; device_type = "spidev"; reg = …

I'm considering buying a Banana Pro, and I assumed I could just install a standard version of Debian Jessie directly from the official installer according to this and this, albeit without graphics or audio support. But then I came across this page and I'm not quite sure I understand the differences between Igor's images and regular a Debian installation. Is it the just the option to choose sunxi/4.0.5 kernel, some (or rather, a lot of) tweaks and scripts and drivers for misc components (IR, LVDS, etc)? I plan to use it as a headless server, what would be the advantages of running Igor's images vs a regular install? Also, on a separate question, is there any other bo…

recently I installed the Ubuntu Desktop on Orange Pi Zero 2+ H3 the Orange Pi Zero 2+ H3 device has only one micro USB OTG port during the first Armbian installation this port should be in dual mode -> power of course and in my opinion the second mode should be a HID gadget (g_hid) in this case we will be able to plug the keyboard via some micro USB hub and setup the system unfortunately this doesn't work like this and right now the installation process isn't so ease now the questions begins -> is it possible? Any clue how to do this? Thx PS I was able to do the installation because I have Orange Pi Zero E…

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…

I am trying to configure my Banana Pi M2 Zero to use UART to communicate with my 3D Printer. I used Armbian config to setup UART 3 (Pins 8 & 10). I can't seem to communicate over the port. How do I test and do I need to make other config changes? Thank you!

The "desktop" image for Banana Pi used to be based on Debian Jessie, but now it has been replaced by a Ubuntu xenial based image. For some reason I need the debian image, but after checking https://dl.armbian.com/bananapi/archive/ I did not see the old images. Is it possible to have the old image now? Thanks!

Hi, my problem is that I can't figure out why doesn't wifi access point doesn't show up, after setting up neither with Config utility from the desktop, neither manually from the website documentations help.

I have Armbian 4.5 Jessy Legacy 3.4.109 running in the internal NAND and tried to do apt-get update+upgrade what bricked the device.

The board is not completely bricked, but network is not working anymore which limits my access dramatically.

Hey kids, it is me, again! So, this time I found out (well, you maybe knew it before and I am dumbing around again) that voltage control does not work on Banana Pi (at least) mainline kernel. Well, if I am supposed to change it in linux-mainline/arch/arm/boot/dts/sun7i-a20.dtsi. I tried to reach 1248000kHz, which is, of course, unstable. So I was adding and adding voltage, until I was too afraid to continue (1650000mV ). But BananaPi was unstable the same way (freez after few minutes of FTP transfer), no more (bad charger) or no less (would still need more voltage). So after few hours of re-compiling source and listening wonderful music I tried this: 1248000(kHz)…

Hi! I plan to use a Banana Pi as a file server and install the system on the hard drive. The documentation page says: SATA/USB: pre-partitioned SATA or USB storage How does the nand-sata-install script work? Will I need to pre-partition my hard drive or will the script do it? Will it just partition it as one big ext4? Is it possible to make at least two partitions, one for the system and one for the files?

These boards are well suited to routing/network traffic control functionality. Currently the kernel has been compiled with Traffic Control stuff disabled, which makes it impossible to perform traffic shaping on stock Armbian kernel. I'm busy recompiling the kernel as a temporary solution, but I will really appreciate it if the kernel build maintainer can please change the traffic control options from DISABLED to MODULE (at least)? I have a bunch of Armbian boards but I'm testing with NanoPi Neo 2 right now. --- I'll let you know the size of the modules once I've finished compiling.

Hi folks, A few months back, I set up an Orange Pi Prime on Armbian Bionic (Armbian_5.52.180715_Orangepiprime_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_4.18.0-rc4.7z). I'm now putting together a home automation workshop around this configuration, but it looks like it's now missing from the website (https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-prime/) and download site (https://dl.armbian.com/orangepiprime/). Is Bionic no longer supported for this board, or was this an oversight? Is there something I can do to help?
