Hi, I would like to ask, if Armbian is compatible with newer Cubieboard5 / Cubietruck Plus? I saw that Cubieboard4 is supported and older Cubietruck too, but I can't find if the Cubieboard5 is supported. Thanks for info. T.

Hi, I have a cubietruck 3 with a faulty SD card slot, how do I approach installing armbian on it? Thanks

Hi! great forum, great distros! thanks Igor! I installed Debian Wheezy on Cubieboard A10, using for NAS, EmonCMS, webcams. Working really good. Yesterday I did an upgrade, something has gone wrong with linux-image-sun4i.

Hi, I am currently testing an Orange Pi 3 with your nightly distributions (for instance Armbian_5.83.190424_Orangepi3_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_5.0.9), and they work fine but have some issues. The main issue is that the ethernet link status display does not really work. When I unplug my ethernet cable, the "Link detected" is alwayes 'yes" within ethtool. As I am trying to configure my board in bonding mode with an external wifi usb adapter (because the embedded wifi is not yet supported by armbian for Orange Pi 3), my bonding is not working because the link status on eth0 is always yes. I have also checked /sys/class/net/eth0/carrier and it is always "1" e…

Hi everyone, I am trying to set the pin 26 (PL08) on orange pi as Input but sometimes it is flashing. I did put a 10K external pull up resistor and it is exported as input pin. I did the same thing with the pin 22 (PD21) and this one is steady, no problems until now. I did not add anything on overlays for these pins. Any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks

Hy everyone, I am trying to get armbian running on my bananapi. The problem is if i write the raw file to the sdcard (following the instructions) no boot partition is created. The bananapi does panic while booting and restarts after a few seconds... Any ideas? Thanks!

I'm trying to use 1080p60 with a DVI-HDMI cable on an Orange Pi One so I run h3disp -m 1080p60 -d and restart. Monitor shows randomly moving white lines on both sides of the display (probably the console text all garbled) for a few seconds then goes to sleep. Tried with a TV (using an HDMI-HDMI cable) and it cycles between Unsupported Mode and No Signal. 1080p without the DVI flag works on the TV but the monitor doesn't even come out of sleep with it. Other resolutions seem to work fine with the DVI flag on the monitor, including 720p and 1080i. The monitor also works fine with a 1080p output from a PC.

Hello, I have what I hope is a simple question, but I haven't been able to find an answer. - Orange Pi Plus2e - Debian Jessie Linux is only booting to a console prompt. I can log in, browse around which is great but I would like to explore the GUI. As I understand there are some screen resolution issues, however I do see the Arbian spash screen which looks like rendered video. Also, I'm seeing that H2/H3 Allwinner part design is missing a lot of multimedia/video support eg. Mali drivers. I liked the fact the Orange pi had 2G memory and embedded flash, but OS support is lacking (not complaining, just observation). Are broadcom…

Hello All, I have Orange Pi lite which I would like to use as an Airplay device, I have purchased a DAC of the internet and I am trying to connect it via the i2s protocol, According to this tutorial i need to edit the script.bin file to change the I/O configuration of the board. it was mentioned that this file is found in the boot folder, I have been looking and can find this file absolutely no where. What I have done, I downloaded Armbian, written it to a bootable SD card, mounted the SD card and then setup the orange pi via serial communication, I then connected to my WIFI, and set up SSH. I then logged …

I recently received my kit, which consists of the Neo, heatsink, and acrylic shell. Installed Debian_jessie_default.7z with Etcher onto a Kingston SDCIT/8GBSP. PCB 1.3+ uses a more sophisticated voltage regulator than earlier revisions... The temperature is excellent so far (only 40c). I can run some more tests if someone provides instructions. So these boards do not in fact require a heavy copper plane for heat dissipation. I did use a superior heat pad rather than the one that is provided with the heatsink kit. Ideally, you would want something like a 4mm or so copper shim with good quality thermal paste applied to bo…

I have Armbian 22.02 Bullseye installed on my Orange Pi zero. The wifi connection worked fine at first, but after a few reboots the device 'wlan0' seems to no longer exist. In the Armbian-config settings the entry wifi is no longer present and also in ifconfig wlan0 is no longer displayed. I have now reflushed the system 3 times and always have the same problem.

Did they improve the wifi on the orange pi zero plus 2, or does the wifi have the same problems as the orange pi zero?

hello everyone my Orange Pi A20 does not detect any USB device with the current versions of Stretch or Bionic, but works fine with Wheezy I had try with a printer, a scanner, or USB stick. When something is connected, nothing appears in dmesg or lsusb. Yes...yes...I've been reading the troubleshooting FAQs and Google it for an answer. Change power supply and SD card, etc. But a printer or scanner doesn't consume too much power from the USB, does it? in a last effort I went back to the old Debian Wheezy (downloaded from orangepi.org) and everything works fine. Any help with that? Could it be a kernel parameter o…

I am experiencing serious problems with booting Armbian on OrangePi Lite. I flashed SD card with a fresh image of Armbian_5.20_Orangepilite_Debian_jessie_3.4.112_desktop.img At the first boot it always freezes right after this line: Started WPA supplicant. It stays there forever and I have no choice but power off the system. At each subsequent boot the system freezes very frequently but at different lines so again I need to reset it. However sometimes it succeeds at the second boot and I am able to login as root and then create new user and enter the desktop after that. I was very happy that it finally started and everything was working fine (inc…

Maybe this is not strictly related to Orange Pi PC but a few weeks ago I had problems with booting my device - mainly OpenELEC and I had to debug it somehow using serial port and the terminal. Unfortunately my PC is rather far from the place where I keep OPiPC. So I was forced to prepare separate device - cheap STM32 MCU based terminal display with 2.2" LCD screen directly supplied from Orange Pi PC 3.3V. It can be used also with other devices which allow serial console debugging. Watch below videos for more details and the code: Maybe someone finds it useful.

Hi everyone, Very green here. Basically I setup 1 of my orange pi a few months back with "Armbian_23.02.3_Orangepizero2_jammy_legacy_4.9.318". I recently bought another pi and wanted to set it up with a newer version. I see bookworm is now the latest. I have tried both CLI and Minimal but whenever I flash those into my micro SD the orange pi never boots up. My router doesnt see the connection, so it cant hand off an IP. I thought maybe it was a bad mini SD or a bad pi. But when I flashed the old jammy image into the same SD, the pi immediately picked up the connection, my router gave it an IP and I was able to log in as a root to the pi. I re…

Hi all I have a project where I'll be deploying the same configuration (including IP addresses) to a multiple Orange Pi Zeros. There will be some slight differences (hostname, information in one script) but largely identical. I was thinking about using a Linux VM to run a script that changes a base image (from a pre-set up machine) makes the changes and burns an image onto microsd. Is this a viable approach? Will I need to change anything else (MAC address related stuff?) Cheers!

Latest doesn't seem to work at all, so something like 5.59 4.18.0-rc7-sunxi64 mentioned here https://github.com/armbian/testings would be ideal. Alternatively is there a way I can build old version myself? I ran ./compile docker BOARD=orangepilite2 BRANCH=dev but resulting image doesn't work also.

Hello, I just upgraded my system from 3.4.110 to the kernel 4.4.1 (Debian7) by Igor's script (Thanks Igor). But I have noticed that in this version of the kernel is no longer possible to set the green light to the disk activity. Is there a way, patch or other to fix it? Thanks Fred

Hi, I have an Oracle PI PC+ which will not boot without the hdmi connected. If you disconnect the hdmi once the board has booted it crashes or at least stops responding to ping/ssh over the ethernet.

Hi guys, I'm running Armbian on my BananaPi for almost a year now and it has always run seamlessly, since the latest upgrade to Arabian 5.20 (Kernel 4.7.3) I've started to experience problems with the stability of the daemons. Monit is doing an hard job lately restarting many times a day almost all the processes I'm running as damons, the most affected by the Killing are Python 2.7 (running Sickrage) and Deluge daemon. In particular Deluge being killed so many times a day is quite annoying since I have to recheck the integrity of many files almost every time I get the service up again. I didn't install any additional software that could have created this inst…

Good evening. I am preparing an Orange PI Plus 2 in order to be the first computer for my 8 years old son. The idea is that he could learn Scratch by watching some video tutorials in YouTube The problem is that actually, if you pause a video, and the you want for it to restart, only video does it. Sound doesn't starts again.It remains muted. Then, if you click to watch another video, sound come back. But you loose it again if this second video is also paused. It's a bit annoying. Do you have the same issue ? Best regard. Maesstrissimo.

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.

Hi, I use an OrangePi Zero as a race timer for a car. It is powered from the car. So when the car starts the OrangePi gets power and boots and when the car is turned off the OrangePi loses power and "turns off". This isn't ideal but I don't have a lot of options. I feel like this is a fairly common use case for electronics in cars especially ones like race timers etc. Unless I have a battery as well. I was wondering what are the best things to do to protect against the sudden power loss so that I don't corrupt anything? Is it possible to make parts of the file system read only maybe? All I do with the OrangePi is run a C++ application, it use…

I prepare the SD boot them up change my root pw and set a user ... so far so well but everytime i tried a sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade my system freeze at the point where it should setting up linux-headers-sun7i 5.23 ... compiling headers please wait... first i thought i only have to wait but after 12h waiting while 100% Cpu usage i was quite sure there is somthing going wrong. did anyone saw this problem before and solved it? tried armbian Vanilla( xenial, jessie) also lagacy (xeni…

hi everyone, I'm running latest Armbian 20.08.1 Buster with Linux 5.8.5-sunxi on a Nanopi Neo Core. I cannot understand why I cant turn GPIOA0 on\off, can't configure it as output. I have no problem with any other GPIOs, just this one. command i'm using: gpio mode 0 output gpio write 0 1 I managed to make the GPIO as Output using this command, but still no go - the output cannot be set. echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/export echo out > '/sys/class/gpio/gpio0/direction' dmesg don't show any errors.

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, I would like to replace my Raspberry Pi 3 with an external USB where I have Gentoo Linux system to Cubietruck with Debian mainkernel in a SATA 2.5" HDD. I have some noob questions: - I want to boot from SD card and system on SATA configuration. Can I make boot partition on SD card only-read? I want to avoid SD card filesystem corruption because of my bad experience with RPi. - Is enough powerful to run Nextcloud? Just for two users. - Is enough a 2A / 5V USB powersource (connect to Jack power connector)?

Hi Guys, a few weeks ago, I implemented a project wich reads the power sources of my Banana Pi. I was using /sys/power/axp_pmu/. I now made a new build to enable lcd display and such things. But now /sys/power/axp_pmu/ isn't there. Also can't find it anywhere in my system. Only /sys/power/{pm_async, pm_freeze_timeout, state, wakeup_count} Kernel of new build is 4.8.0 What have I to do, to get axp_pmu back? Martin

I want to have a second NIC. I have a Cubietruck running. I am using Igor PeÄovnik's Cubietruck_Debian_4.0_wheezy_4.1.2 image. How do I get a USB network adapter to work. I have a USB 10/100 NIC plugged in and it does not appear as recognized ( no link lights). Thanks

I use your toolchain to build a Armbian_5.11_Orangepih3_Ubuntu_xenial_4.6.0.raw image, and then dd to SD card. Both OPi One and OPi PC can't boot it correctly.

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! It seems that the error is related to kernel , but I'm learning to work with embedded now ! If anyone has experience with Asterisk and can help me I appreciate the support !

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!!

Hello all, I have a 5" waveshare touch screen connected (touch screen cable) to an orange pi one through usb with a separate power cable for screen, and it works fine. but when I used the (microusb to microusb cable) for the touch it doesn't work.. is there any way to make it work!? because i need the usb for something else and i can't use a usb hub for it's too big for my application.

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 …

I'm getting broken connections when I download big files from my Cubietruck. I've tried reducing CPU freq and setting eth0 to 100 half duplex, as recommended in various places. No joy though.

Hi, I was trying to use OrangePi One to add a filter to my USB camera, so that I can apply some image processing to the original input image. The original project uses raspberrypi: https://github.com/likeablob/rpi-wfh-webcam It captures the image from a USB Camera, then applys some image processing on Raspberry Pi. Lastly, it creates a virtual camera that sends the output image to the PC. I would like to achieve the same effect using OrangePi One (Armbian), and the only problem left is to simulate a virtual camera using the USB Gadget. What I tried: $ sudo modprobe g_webcam musb-hdrc.4.aut…

Hello, I use armbian latest version on a Orange Pi Zero (256Mb) to send data from usb to network. I use Ser2net for this to stream data from a rflink device. To test I use a Metrix bench power supply, so i think power is ok. If I reboot the device with usb plugged the boot fail, so i have to boot without usb plugged and then plug usb and restart ser2net daemon to make it work. I think boot is searching for usb device, is it possible to disable this ? Next the board crash every 2 or 3 days, network stop responding and soc heatsink goes hot. I restart the device and it's good for 2 or 3 days, and crash... If it help armb…

I am failing creating a bootable SDcard. I download latest image and flash it using etcher. Everything goes smoothly. But when the SD is inserted in the device and the device is powered on, nothing happens (no video output, no LEDs blinking, no network LEDs blinking). I am facing this issue with bananapi M1 (and pine64, but I need to get bananapi working only). This is not SDcard issue, since other distros are running smoothly. This is not PSU issue, since other distros are running smoothly. I was testing Debian Jessie Next 4.9 and 4.11.

Hello all, i 've followed the steps from "sudo armbian-config" to create a hotspot. The hotspot is well created but doesn't start on next boot.

I am working on a project with armbian 23.8.1 embedded in a banana pi m2 zero. I need to use the spi 0 with the two select chips. When I initialize I can only initialize spidev0.0 or spidev 0.1. There is no way that can initialize both. Configure the armbianEnv.txt file with the following parameters: overlays= spi-add-cs1 spi-spidev param_spidev_spi_bus=0 param_spidev_spi_cs=1 Also try other combinations and nothing. Then try to modify the .dtb file by adding cs-gpios and changing status = "okay" but it doesn't work

Has anyone seen these? Awesome! Sure it's missing a few of the basic I/O ports such as monitor and KB...but with a Ubuntu headless setup...who needs keyboards/mice/monitors I have an old Raspberry Pi B [the 512mb and single core CPU) for $35 at my house running some VPN software, a TOR relay, and mumble VOIP server, this thing costs $7.99 and has a quad core! http://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=132 In fact check out all their really small boards...heck the NanoPC-T3 is insane!!! Just a FYI if you haven't seen them yet

Hello, I bought the Opi Zero plus 2 H5 and installed Armbian and Octoprint unfortunately, I can not find a suitable WirringPi for the H5 so I can address the Gpio. Sorry for my bad English thx for help

Hi folks, is there a reason behind the Olimex Micro board being listed as "SUPPORT ENDED (EOS)" on the armbian web site? Cheers, Klaus

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

Maybe there has been a glitch in the update release process? I performed a sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade and this has pulled down an automated build. Should it had pulled down a supported build instead?

Hello there, I just flashed latest armbian (downloaded yesterday) on my A20 Olinuxino Micro. Version was with legacy kernel as my use case involves multimedia. SD card is Samsung Evo 128GB. Once I attach HDMI display, I can see armbian logo and something happening (booting kernel etc) just for a few seconds, then screen flashes with colors and I don't get anymore signal. I tried with two monitors with the same reult. Later today I will try using cable-f attached to pins to see wether something is happening under the hood (I expect yes). In the meantime can someone confirm this issue? What should I try in order to fix this? Thanks in advance fo…

Dear all I have the problem that when I reboot my banana pi pro it always creates a new eth0 config. Which as default has ip4 disabled hence I cant see it directly. At the moment I always access the pi via ip6 and than delete the config via nmtui. My question: How can I turn the creation of a new eth0 config on reboot off? ARMBIAN 5.60 stable Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS 4.14.70-sunxi Thanks

Hi again, I've a strange problem again. I've several Lime2 and tested them with USB-Sticks, works fine. Now I got a Fan-Tec case (USB 3.0 DB-ALU3-6G) containing a 4TB-SATA from a customer. As soon as I plug the disk into one of the USB-Plugs of a lime2, I got a kernel panic: Message from syslogd@localhost at Oct 19 17:49:20 ... kernel:[ 460.550693] Internal error: Oops: 17 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM Message from syslogd@localhost at Oct 19 17:49:20 ... kernel:[ 461.304238] Process kworker/u:1 (pid: 55, stack limit = 0xee9702f0) Message from syslogd@localhost at Oct 19 17:49:20 ... kernel:[ 461.314387] Stack: (0xee971d78 to 0xee972000) ....

Hi guys! I've an Olimex LIME2 EMMC installed in a remote location: I installed it with Olimex provided image of debian Jessie, which has kernel 3.4.103-00033-g9a1cd03-dirty. The installation has been done over internal EMMC and it worked. Now, for various reason I would like to switch to armbian. I would like to install armbian over the existing image. so not to have to reinstall packages ad my local software. I would like to keep the installation on internal 4GB EMMC memory. I'm asking if it's possibile to do it without having to reinstall and possibily over ssh, because the board is in remote location. Thanks for your sug…

Hi it seems it was following an update. It doesn't bother me in fact the new one had already been used probably with another distribution. But I wonder where are they stored ? or how are they guessed before : E6:7C:8E:9F:AC:D0 now : 7E:C3:14:57:E7:B1

Hello I'm using OPI PC + with 8GB external SD card. I detected a strange bug. I was using nand_sata_install.sh script to install Armbian to emmc card. So far so good, I was messed with configuration and decided to start over. Wrote fresh image into SD card and power up. So far so good until I rebooted. System boot up from EMMC instead from external SD card. When reboot again it start from SD card. I was wondering WTF is happening. Thinking about system is somehow confused so I delete emmc card partition. Now even with fresh install it boots one time from SD card, on second reboot it fail too boot (because I erased emmc), when restart again it boot from SD ............…

Hi, I'd like to keep the features provided in AX but have my OPi Lite starting and running some software that communicates with a webserver periodically over the internet without the monitor, keyboard and mouse connected unless performing maintenance where remote access isn't appropriate. Is this possible or am I looking at an Armbian Bionic (unsupported) installation?

Hi all, I'm new to this forum, but I frequent the LinusTechTips forum a lot, some of you may recognize it. Any way, my issue is with my Orange Pi R1. I've tried both Ubuntu Server and Debian server images and I can't seem to get either to work. I'm using a good OEM Samsung wall wart that can supply up to 2 amps, and I'm using a 32GB Sandisk microSD I pulled from a working Raspberry Pi 2. With the Ubuntu Server image I can get in on the first boot and make a new user, but once it reboots to expand the filesystem it seems like it'm outta luck. I assume the red LED flashes when the kernel is running as normal, and after the first reboot the red LED never flashes, I can'…

Hi All, I have a couple of H3 based boards (Orange Pi Zero and FriendlyArm NanoPi Duo 2). With all of them I have the same issue: command like "reboot" turn the board off instead of rebooting. The workaround is to add following line in /boot/armbianEnv.txt extraargs=reboot=warm Running latest image on all of the boards.

Hi I installed armbian on orange pi plus win and I sow the resolution isn't good. so I tried h3disp command but I got this What is the resolution software in this model? I tried to install h3disp but it isn't in repository!

Hello everyone. I'm kind of new in this SBC bussiness. I'm looking for a way to enable the ethernet port of the expansion board on this device. Hardware wise the port works on Dietpi, but the GPU works better on this version of armbian (Armbian Linux 6.19.9-edge-sunxi64). Anyone who could tell me o point me to the right direction? Thanks.

Hi, I am running the latest Armbian stable headless build with legacy kernel for a few weeks now without issue (tvheadend, cups, sane, shairplay-sync, pi-hole). Yesterday I added a dvb-c stick from sundtek which works pretty well. However, I noticed that only 1 USB port works (the one by itself). I can either connect the dvb-c stick or my printer/scanner. Attaching another device to either of the other 2 USB ports does not work... What am I missing?

Hi Igor and all, after running armbian on my A20 lime2 for a long time, I decided to switch to armbian on my A10 lime, too (from jessie with a eewiki-based self-compiled kernel). So far it works as perfect as the A20, but there are two small and funny things with the Armbian_5.00_Lime-a10_Debian_jessie_3.4.110.zip image I used: After login the nice armbian banner stated that my A10 lime is a cubieboard . I have a cubieboard, too. So I double checked... The problem is located in /etc/init.d/armhwinfo, There all "sun4i" boards are simply "Cubieboard". I had to adapt the LED check which is used to detect Lime and Lime2 a bit and added the Lime A10. I ch…
