Hello, I used your newest Debian wheezy Image 3.8. Boot up from SD installed to NAND via script so far everything fine. But if I remove the SD card it won't boot anymore, it even doesn't show some output on serial connection. Can you give me a hint how to solve it? Thanks Fips

Armbianmonitor: http://ix.io/3UHS Hi all After update kernel from 5.10.60 to 5.15 or 5.16 on my Orange PI PC+ MJPEG-Streamer throws: Quote libv4l2: error turning on stream: Cannot allocate memory motion throws: Quote [1:ml1] [ERR] [VID] v4l2_set_mmap: Error starting stream. VIDIOC_STREAMON: Cannot allocate memory I tried to decrease resolution - even 320x240 not helps. Rolling back to 5.10.60 helps, but it's not very sustainable solution. Are there any known solution for 5.15-5.16? Today checked kernel 5.15.43-sunxi and 5.17.11-sunxi - same issue baal@3dprinter:~$ mjpg_st…

So.. this neat board has mainline kernel but with no video output and it has a mali panfrost GPU. My question to all you dev pros of the kodi tv boxes is... Is there anyone capable to fix video output on this wee board that has it on radxa 5.15 default debian kernel?

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? After having a look at this section : https://docs.armbian.com/Hardware_Allwinner_overlays/ I understand that it would require writing a dt overlay (.dts file) to attribute the different functions to the GPIOs. But then how to wri…

Hi, I have connected additional USB port on the GPIO header. The port works fine when I plug something on a running system. But if the device is connected before powering Zero - port does not recognize the device. So I need always unplug and plug back after rebooting.

Thank you Sneaky

Hi, my current project is about using a NanoPI M1 as a controller for a 3D printer. As such, one wants to have very tight timing on the GPIO output, with as little jitter as possible, to get smooth motion of the stepper motors. However, it is common belief that getting a fast timing with little jitter is virtually impossible to do under linux, without the help of a dedicated chip just for the IO. While that is true in general on stock kernels, it's possible to vastly improve on that front by spending a little effort. One way on ARM chips is to use the FIQ. That is an interrupt that has the highest priority, which can interrupt all other, regular interrupts. Ho…

Hi, in an attempt to add new information and correct conflicting information over at the bottom of https://linux-sunxi.org/SID_Register_Guide#Currently_known_SID.27s it would be great if as many owner of Allwinner boards could execute most recent sbc-bench version and post/share the result link here (ix.io/sprunge.us) https://github.com/ThomasKaiser/sbc-bench#execution The new sbc-bench version always lists the SID identifier next to the SoC so that it reads as follows for example: SoC guess: Allwinner H6 (SID: 82c00007) Especially boards with 64-bit SoCs like H618, H616, H6, H5, A64 but also R40/V40 and exotic varia…

Hello Everybody, Iḿ using a Cubietruck (Cubieboard3) I ve tried to install the Jessie Server and the Xenial Server with the vanilla Kernel. Both effords failed. The bootprocess from SD Card starts, but it dosen t come to an end. The following things happen: In the beginning there is a short warning regarding mmc. After that the bootprocess starts, but then the message "Running /script/local-block..done" appers many times. Then there is another error message and the process starts from the beginning. Details in the picture. I don t think that the SD Card or the Cubieboard is the problem, because the Jessie Server with the legacy kernel and the old cubian are…

I was testing the orangepi PC+ armbian build 5.20 (Armbian_5.20_Orangepipcplus_Debian_jessie_3.4.112_desktop) when messing with it it seemed to have random reboots. I thought initially it was because it was lacking a heatsink or fan. So I added both and the issue persisted. Thinking maybe if I flashed to emmc it might resolve the issue it froze in emmc install and is effectively softbricked from what I can tell sadly. I also tested a second OPIPC+ but was unable to get it to boot. I tested with multiple new power cables as well.

I have been working with the legacy Ubuntu on this board with great success - and now on the latest nightly build of Ubuntu ARMBIAN 5.32.170921 nightly Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 4.11.12-sun8i All is well, thanks to this command added to /boot/armbianEnv.txt overlays=uart1 uart2 uart3 i2c0 i2c1 I can now see all the ports - and both I2c channels - the ONLY issue I have is that UART0 is occupied doing serial debug and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to turn this off. I do not need a serial debug port and would rather use this as a general purpose serial port. When I try however, debug info comes out.. Can someone tell me…

When the system call # /sbin/fstrim --all the process enters intermittent sleep, and all the following processes gradually obtain the same state. In crontab it appears as a task of the # fstrim -v / system, the same command if I do it manually also has the same result of never ending and blocking the other processes little by little until the system is totally blocked. Can it be disabled? As a check that is compatible with the microsd? Any recommendation?

I’ve been running Armbian from an SSD for a while using this guide: https://jamesachambers.com/orange-pi-zero-2-usb-ssd-boot-guide/ Recently, after running apt update && apt full-upgrade, the following issues have occurred: 1. Wi-Fi adapter is no longer detected. 2. CPU utilization exceeds 80% when accessing the Gnome launcher or starting GUI apps (e.g., a web browser, even without opening a webpage). 3. The system becomes laggy and nearly unusable, noticeable when moving the mouse. Are there recent changes to Armbian that affect SSD booting? Is there a workaround for these issues?

I have a fresh install of Armbian 5.14 on a orange pi one. I i have updated and upgraded it. I have only installed synaptic and nautilus. I then followed the instruction to install the micro home server and I commenced to install the Samba option. It ran and then once it had finished said something like samba not running or samba not configured. I tried to browse the network and look for my Tplink NAS router and it says "this location could not be displayed." I would appreciate any ideas to get samba running.

This topic has been discussed earlier but there is not concrete mechanism explained to achieve this. Ideally I would like to display a boot logo or boot splash during startup. The device is Orange Pi Plus 2e. As per experience and as mentioned on this forum earlier plymouth was not useful in this case. I tried to set logo="enabled" in /boot/armbianEnv.txt but this doesn't help. When Armbian loads for first time on the device from the image downloaded from this site, it displays 'Initializing Boot Loader' logo image. Pretty cool!!! Can we have something like this for a custom image displayed each time on reboot. I under…

Hi all. I recently bought an Orange Pi Lite. After trying to get the power switch to work as a power switch (by this I mean booting the board when it was previously shutdown), and after searching for a while, it seems that the power switch in the Orange Pi Lite is not a real one, but it's instead connected to a GPIO. Do you guys know of any Orange Pi board that implements a proper power switch? Thanks.

Hello, after the usual apt update/apt upgrade the OS requested a reboot. However it then fails to boot. Here's the output of the console: I guess the critical stuff is what I marked in bold?

Hello, I just received a replacement unit of my Lamobo-R1 board and I'd like to test it with an SD card I've currently running on a BananaPro with the latest Armbian release. Is there a way to use it on the Lamobo-R1 without having to reinstall & reconfigure everything? Thanks, V.

I'm running OpenElec on a NanoPI-M1 and one thing missing is having the screen blanked when the screensaver kicks in, allowing the monitor to power down. In Kodi there's no option to do it, unlike when running in other OS. Probably someone is going to direct me at CEC but that does not work for me as I have a PC monitor connected to the board through a HDMI->VGA adaptor. I've read in the sunxi docs that the '/sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank' sysfs entry should control blanking for the framebuffer, therefore blanking the HDMI output, but it either does not work that way or at all, as nothing happens. On the RP world there is a command line utility that can enable/disabl…

Hi folks, I installed armbian with success on my orangepi zero. I was able to configure wifi and even fix some display issues on tv. But I am struggling to get a graphical manager running, I tried to start lightdm using: sudo start lightdm but I get "start command not found". any hints ? Thank you

Hi everyone, I'd like to ask and confirm: is there any working HDMI method with proper resolution currently for the Pi+2E, as of 5.59? I'm asking because I have tried next, I have tried dev, and I have tried the legacy kernel. None of them gave any satisfactory result at all. Mainline Kernel 4.14 -- There is HDMI graphics, but the resolution is stuck to no more than 1024x768. I read many times that this is the case when the HDMI was not detected. Kernel 4.18 -- Same thing as for 4.14. Though, as far as I know, the 4.17 should have support for HDMI. Has HDMI for H3 really landed in 4.17, or have I read wrong all over the place? …

Hi, after unsuccessful experiences with bananian I found armbian - due to the active forum and answers to questions it looks like the better choice. I try to install fhem on bpr-r1. Combine a access point with homeautomation server (the router ifunction is handled by another device). After some work with Debian Jessie (lot´s of issues with hostapd and gpio) - Ubuntu with 4.4.1 kernel works stable. Only issue which keeps me from going into operation is following problem: all directories /sys/devices/platform/gpio-sunxi/gpio/gpio* are recreated everytime fhem server starts. The trick from Raspbian with chown -R root:gpio ys/devices/platform/gpio-sunxi/gpio/g…

Hi, first post here, so a bit of context: I have owned my Orange Pi PC for a while and have it set up running the latest Armbian with legacy kernel, serving files over AFP and SMB on the local network and running a Transmission daemon. I set it up with the desktop image but followed the instructions in the documentation to remove the desktop environment etc. I believe that this has left the VDPAU and Cedrus related files intact. As I am using it as a media server I thought it would be interesting to leverage the H3's capabilities of encoding H.264 to convert old DivX files into a more modern format, but none of the solutions I have found for this work correctly. It seems…

Hello friends, I installed the latest version of ARMBIAN compatible with ORANGEPI 3 LTS. But on the login screen, the username and password fields are pixelated, change color unstable when moving the mouse or trying to enter the password. This error only occurs on the login screen, once the desktop starts everything is normal. Thanks for your help.

Hi, I use a armbian image from https://dl.armbian.com/bananapi/ for my bananapi. Are the private keys in /etc/ssh/ generated on first boot of my bananapi or are they in the image, so everyone with the same image got the same keys? Thanks!

Hi, I'm trying to set up multiple wlan interfaces for my Orange Pi Zero Plus2 H5.

Hi, I tried to switch on some LED during boot with script.bin. (connected to PH11). Decompiled script.bin, changed several times PH11 to be an output with value 1 (pin 15 on GPIO3). It works if I switch it on from Linux. ; Was the first I changed lcd_used=0 lcdd11 = port:PH11<1><1><default><1> ; Whats this?

Hi guys! I'd like to download the correct image for my Banana Pi M1, but I don't seem to be able to find it. I've been searching already for a bit without much luck. Is it supported? Am I missing something? Thanks!

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…

Hardware: Banana Pi Pro. The Android is based on Linux. Android very well plays Internet video HTML5. Therefore hardware resources allow to play Internet video HTML5.

Hi, I've got an Orange Pi Zero Plus H5 running "Armbian_5.91_Orangepizeroplus_Debian_buster_next_4.19.59.img" but I can't seem to connect to it via the three UART pins next to the Ethernet port. I'm using this adapter using both the Windows supplied and the manifacturer's drivers. I've also tried adding "uart1 uart2 uart3" to the overlays line in /boot/armbianEnv.txt and rebooting but with no luck. I'm using PuTTY on my laptop connecting via COM7 serial port (as shown in Device Manager) with baud rate 115200, but the PuTTY screen stays black with nothing coming in. Is there something that I'm missing?

Hi! New to the forums, this is my first post. I've been trying out some of the pre-built Armbian images on my Orange Pi Zero to get a taste for the OS and it's perfect for my purposes, however I've noticed something odd about the current mainline images that's possibly a small oversight. I browsed the forums before posting and noticed that TV Out functionality has been disabled by default on H3-based boards due to an interference with HDMI output on mainline, which is naturally understandable. There's only one small problem - the same patch has been applied to H2+ boards which lack an HDMI Out altogether. I've explored the image currently provided (the latest …

**1. Summary:** The text console (`tty1`) is permanently stuck at 30 rows by 90 columns after boot, despite the DRM/KMS framebuffer being correctly set to 1920x1080 resolution. All attempts to change the console size via boot parameters, sysfs, or runtime tools fail. This breaks the basic CLI experience on displays larger than VGA. **2. Environment:** * **Hardware:** Orange Pi PC (Allwinner H3) * **Image/Distribution:** "Forky" (appears to be an Armbian-based rolling Debian fork) * **Kernel:** `6.12.68-current-sunxi` (build@armbian) #1 SMP Fri Jan 30 09:28:49 UTC 2026 * **Graphics Stack:** Modern DRM/KMS (`sun4i-drm`).

How to get a headphone or simple mic to work on a ct as recording device? In vanilla armbian for ct capture_use and playback_use are undefined in script.bin and # arecord -l does not list any devices.

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

Dear all, Recently I purchased Orange Pi Lite. I installed recommended Armbian with Legacy 3.4.113 kernel as there is no mainline image yet. When pushing the power button a logo appears, the screen goes black and after 10 seconds command prompt with login appears with no dmesg output on screen while loading kernel image and services that all is already loaded but no output shown. So far, I am happy with it, BUT when I run Vim command to open certain file, I see it opens the file and screen dimms in few seconds to complete darkness, the only way how to get out of this black screen is to switch to another console, when I switch back, it again appears a…

Just bumped this one: Orange Pi Zero, stable version, legacy kernel Trying to insert Realtek WiFi dongle (8188eu in my case). Module cannot load - with this error: Peeked solution on 4pda - http://4pda.ru/forum/lofiversion/index.php?t750921-1740.html - decompiled script bin and set wifi_usbc_id = 1 - before it was set to none. Original solution has value "2", but it was just a guess, so I used "1". Module worked in parallel with original xradio. According to original poster on 4pda, this issue was seen on Orange Pi PC. Not sure, is it correct solution, but, well - it may help. Issues seen - when I try to un…

hi, I had a few Orange Pi Zero's lying around for a while and thought of putting them to some use. I was trying to find an image for Orange Pi Zero H2+ over here ( at Armbian Orange Pi downloads section ). I couldn't find the image for Orange Pi Zero H2+. There are images for H3 and H5 on that page. Can someone please point to the appropriate image for this board? Thanks a lot.

The system v26.11 rolling for Orange Pi PC Plus running Armbian Linux 6.18.53-current-sunxi cannot boot from eMMC on the Orange Pi PC Plus. The bootloader is looking for an old partition on /dev/mmcblk0p1, whereas the current partition of emmc is identified differently - as /dev/mmcblk2p1. Therefore, it is necessary to use a bootloader from an SD card, which specifies the path to the eMMC partition for subsequent operation.

Hi, I have from the very beginning problem with the reboot command and the reset button on the Orange PI ONE. > The reboot command take down the PI ONE, but it dont get up again.

I've got a Cubieboard2 with a serial interface hardwired to PI10 and PI11 (uart5). The default Cubieboard2 DT overlay connects uart5 to PH6 and PH7, so I made a new dts, called "sun7i-a20-uart5b" with the pins like I need them: /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "allwinner,sun7i-a20"; fragment@0 { target-path = "/aliases"; __overlay__ { serial5 = "/soc@01c00000/serial@01c29400"; }; }; fragment@1 { target = <&pio>; __overlay__ { uart5_pins_a_2: uart5@1 { …

Hi All, after next collapse of our network I used the hammer to destroy the R1. This board is really shit and I will never ever continue with any kind of experiments with it. The reason is probably BCM chip. But I am not sure. Everything works well on the table, you can stress it as much you want , everything works well. But when you use it for real traffic, the board starts to collapse, unexpected restarts etc. I followed all recommendations of you, but without success. The question is ... Which board for router I have to use? Any ideas welcome. Petr P.S. If somebody wants R1 for home router/NAS (for home is ok), I have two available, the third ended …
