Hey there, I am a long time user of your armbian operating system. It is great, I am using it for a simple home NAS system. But I have found one problem with armbian, which is very annoying: My standard Banana Pi keeps loosing the HDD Ive connected over Sata. It is a 3,5" Seagate Barracude 3TB drive formated as Ext4. It gets 5V and 12V power and runs quite perfect, as long as it has something to do. It spins up and down as I configured it. But when I leave the pi for a longer time period unattended (no workload), and the harddrive stays in spindown-mode too long, it wont identify the HDD anymore. The mount point and the /dev/sda are gone. I need to powercycle t…

Hi, Just signed on - I've got Armbian running on my BananaPI (i.e. the original plain Jane BPi) - and liking it on there so far. So - I was impressed with Armbian on there - and shelled out and got the OPi+ 2E - flashed an SDCard with Armbian - booted up - and really liking it. Only got it yesterday (took like a month after arriving in the country [AU]). Did nand-sata-install, successful and rebooted - and now running Armbian off eMMC - runs sweet. Really impressed so far - VASTLY better experience than Pine64 (I'm looking for a desktop experience on Arm - for no other reason than "because it's there"). Got Chromium browser working - synergy KVM and Plan…

I have an OPi PC+ running Armbian. Bought an RTC called "DS3231 for Pi" and connected the 3.3V, ground, SDA and SCL pins to the GPIO connector. Ran "sudo i2cdetect -y 0" and it prints a table with "UU" in position 0x68. Ran "hwclock -w -f /dev/rtc1" and the response was "bash: hwclock: command not found" I looked in a subdirectory of /etc/ and found fake_hwclock and hwclock.sh Can anyone tell me what is wrong? Perhaps I should have modified something else before running hwclock? Thanks...

I'm trying to set the Pin G11 on a NanoPi Neo, previously configured as input, to output in C++ by mapping the PIO function register into the virtual memory with mmap and setting a single bit. As per the Allwinner H3 Datasheet the following hardware addresses are specified: Similar to the Raspberry Pi's function register, the Pin knows at least two states: 000: input 001: output ... In my Script, I'm therefore trying to set the 12th bit of the PG Configure Register 1. Here's my C++ code: struct peripheral { unsigned long addr_hardware; int map_size; int mem_fd; void *mem_map; volatile unsigned long *addr_virtual; int …

Hello, My Orange Pi Zero was working during a few days. However after a few days it stopped working. I tried to install a fresh armbian (and I also tried lot's of different distribution on several SD cards), and all of them are unable to boot. Today, I tried to plug an UART cable (USB <-> Serial) during boot in order to see what happened... And here is what I got : U-Boot SPL 2016.09.01-armbian (Nov 14 2016 - 08:40:41) DRAM: 0 MiB ### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ### (The date of armbian of course depends on the version I'm running). The RESET seems to refer to a power cycle reset (which I obviously do each time I try to restart), so I dont see what I …

Hi, I am using orange pi one with the ubuntu desktop version. When i am trying to change the region using 'iw reg set US' and after retrieving the value using 'iw reg get' still the region are not changed.

Hi Has anyone got the on board Bluetooth going on their OP Prime ?

Happy New Years, I tried an LXDE ssh "MobaXterm" session with Chromium on my Orange Pi Zero 512mb. Surprised it worked however the laggy browser page scroll and javascript animations (appearing as a really slow vsync wave top to down), does that reflect real world performance when outputting to say hdmi? This Orange Pi has no immediate way to output to my tv so could not test otherwise. Is there any video hardware acceleration being used (mainline kernel Armbian) using this method? As maybe the lack thereof is the cause of lag, along with network overheads etc. Regards, Rollmeister

Hello, I have decided to try out Ubuntu 16.04 legacy on my original banana pi for the first time and to my surprise the first problem I noticed is that the usb ports weren't working at all. I tried two keyboards which are working fine on all my Linux computers all running on mint 18.3 (logiItech k360, and insignia nsc5011-c) they are both wireless keyboard + mouse combos they did not work at all on the banana. I previously had bananian on it prior to today and all usb ports were working fine as I was able to connect external usb hard drives to it. I decided to connect the banana to my LAN and ssh to it from my laptop, did an apt update…

Hello community! I use in my project "Orange Pi Zero Plus (Alwinner H5 - 512mb)". When using the image downloaded from the official site (https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero-plus/ - Armbian Stretch mainline kernel 4.14.y), I get a set of errors when I boot and when I use the working OS, which I'm straining. The same mistakes I get if I build the kernel and the OS myself through "build" (linux-sunxi64-next).

Hi, unfortunately many times the support for XFS filesystem is just forgotton. At the moment I just run the last update for the cubietruck this morning which includes the new kernel version 4.19 and my system, which is used as an NAS device with XFS filessystem, didn't start again. I found out that this filesystem is not supported anymore (see 'cat /proc/filesystems') and no module is available. Could you plaese take care of this to fix this issue in the future? And/Or tell me please how I can get back to the older version of the kernel which supports XFS. The reason why I say this way is because I cannot spend every time hours or day's f…

Hi everybody, I need your help in setting the default values of some or all GPIO Pin, so that it will be always activated after reboot instead of deactivated like the default is today. The reason for this is that I've connected a relaisboard to some GPIO Pins that will need "1" to be deactivated . Everything works fine, I can control and work with these Pins like needed by using "1" for OFF and "0" for ON. After booting up my BPI I initialize the needed GPIO Pins via export the pins. That will create virtual directories for these Pins with these defaults: direction -> in value -> 0 Like I mentioned, my relaiseboard need a logica…

Very minor niggle, got a ZeroPi today and of course it will run Armbian, after doing the mandatory apt update && apt upgrade I was greeted with a banner saying xt-q8l-v1 instead of ZeroP when logging back in after rebooting for the kernel update.

Hi, I'm using a CubieTruck running Armbian 5.8.16. /dev/ttyS2 works fine if I use the 4.19.62 dtb but not when using the 5.8.16 dtb. I am using the uart2 overlay and param_uart2_rtscts. If I try to access the port with picocom it reports "Filedes is not a tty". Commenting the param_uart2_rtscts line makes no difference. It appears that uart2 isn't being setup as a serial port when using the 5.8.16 dtb (and overlays). But the kernel must be okay because it works with the old dtb. Does anybody have a solution here ? Or can you tell me where the sources for the dtb and overlay are ? The copies on github seem old. Thanks, S…

Hello armbianers ! Armbian 22.11.1 Bullseye with Linux 5.15.80-sunxi on a banana pi m1 I've connected a lipo battery to my bpi m1, and now when I try to shutdown -h 0, it ends up in a kernel panic and instead of shutting down it remains powered up. Is there anything I can do to fix that? I'd know how to shut it down talking to the axp209 via i2c, but I'm not sure how/where to put that, or if that would be or not the proper way to go. Thanks, George.

Hi, I have an Orange Pi Zero 3 with Allwinner H618 (1GB RAM version). The CPU specs say up to 1.5 GHz (1512000 kHz), and it hits that fine on other distros (like official Orange Pi Ubuntu images or Debian builds). But on Armbian, max freq is stuck at 1416000 kHz, even on latest kernels. Board: Orange Pi Zero 3 (H618, 1GB RAM) Armbian Version: Armbian Bookworm (fresh SD flash, ran armbian-upgrade after boot) Kernel Versions Tested: 6.12.43-current-sunxi64 6.12.47-current-sunxi64 6.15.4-edge-sunxi64 6.16.8-edge-sunxi64 (current edge, i think) What happens: scaling_available_frequencies only goes up to 1416000.

Hi, I started to adjust RPi-Monitor's settings for the Banana Pi a while ago and reworked the whole stuff in the meantime (since it was focused on Banana Pi and some parts were too quick&dirty -- especially temp file handling of the temperature daemon). I also adjusted the consumption measurements for Lamobo R1 since it's the best idea to power the board through the LiPo battery connector -- for this case you need the axp209_cpu_pmu_temp_r1.conf template! Here you find an installation overview for RPi-Monitor (takes you 3 minutes if you are able to copy&paste): http://rpi-experiences.blogspot.fr/p/rpi-monitor-installation.html Here you find what's diff…

I have just received cheap WiFi dongle (paid $1.6 in Aliexpress). I don't know yet if I will solder it directly to Orange Pi One extra USB exposed solder points. Currently I want to share how to disassemble this dongle without damaging anything. Watch my short tutorial video: Using this module without the case significantly improves WiFi signal quality and range. Finally it would be possible to solder external antenna socket. Some photos:

Hello, First I would like to thank Igor for his amazing work on Armbian! I know that the Lamobo/BPI R1 is very problematic with power and SATA, but when I installed Armbian 5.1 jessie with the legacy kernel, it seems that the SATA is working fine. But when I tried the same Armbian 5.1 with vanilla kernel it wasn't able to boot and the hard drive made knocking noises. Just to make sure, I disconnected the HD and it booted fine. I think that this is a software problem (maybe uboot?) because as I mentioned it works with the older kernel. I tried installing the uboot package bananapro-next as Igor adviced someone with a banana pro but it didn't help. I'm using a good…

Dear All, I wonder if its possible to boot the Orange PI One from USB without an SDcard. 1, In the description I found (http://www.orangepi.org > Linux Distributions for Orange PI H3 boards ) that "cmdline.txt must exist on BOOT (fat) partition on sd card "... for me that means I always need to have the sdcard there to be able to restart? 2, I read some other posts ,which use one or other way U-Boot... would it help and how it should go step by step to make it work. 3, Or is there any other possibilities to make the PI One boot/work without populating the SDcard at all? 4, Under the description on the "http://www.orangepi.org> Linux Distributions for Oran…

Hello, I have problem with mpd server and sound volume in mpd. When I set volume to max in alsamixer and in mpd (mpc volume 100) sound is very quiet. When I run mplayer with the same mp3 and alsamixer settings the sound is very loud. I tried mixer_type set to software and hardware in mpd.conf but with no effect. I think the problem is with allwinner audiocodec because when I use usb sound card everything works as expected ( them same sound levels in mpd and mplayer ). Is there any trick to solve this?

So you guys that have more experience, what should I be looking at, when I find some code that runs on a Raspberry Pi to verify that it will also run on the Orange Pi PC? If I find some interesting code on Github for example . Regarding GPIO I think there shouldn't be any problem, since we have WiringOPI and that py20a or how its called. But what about i2c lcd's, max7219 matrix displays, other stuff? How does it differ the compatibility of boards between python and C code?

Dear experts. I'm using Armbian_5.20_Orangepilite_Debian_jessie_3.4.112 image on a Orange Pi Lite. I used a serial console to operate.

Hi there, Armbian with 3.4.x Kernel has been running fine on my CubieTruck until upgrading to 5.25. Armbian is installed on NAND (using nand-sata-install), and there is also a SDcard and a harddrive connected for data storage. Some days ago the upgrade to Armbian 5.25 appeared and I did a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. It took a long time and threw some warnings and errors - which I probably should have captured. I recall something regarding "cannot link image" or so... The whole upgrade finished completely at the end. Then the reboot... Now the the CubieTruck is not booting anymore. The error message is: U-Boot 2017.1-armbian ... ... Error: no valid bm…

Hi, guys, today I've menaged how to make my opi1 work with armbian. the problem is that my hdready tv (720p50) has some problem with underscan, the desktop goes off screen so I cannot see the taskbar. Of course this is a problem of my tv, because I have the same problem when I use it as monitor for my PC, but there I can set the underscan through nvidia setting. So, How can I set up the overscan/underscan to see all the desktop on 720p? (using h3disp and set 576p doesn't work, I have "no signal" on tv) thank you in advance

Hello, sorry if this might seem stupid. I have an Orange Pi Zero Board. I have an armbian running on it (jesse). I have an usb-wifi-adapter connected to the onboard-usb-jack. 'lsusb' sais: I cannot see the device by typing "ifconfig -a" wlan0 is shown (onboard-wifi), but where`s my expected wlan1 ? I tried: "apt-get install firmware-realtek", but it sais: What am I missing?

Orange pi zero using mainline latest image. Somehow i couldn't manage to set up a c++ project with libusbgx so I am using console commands for gadgetfs for hid device emulation. I want to disable otg dual role functionality of micro usb port . I think i need to mess with overlay but i have no experience and i think i should change the usb for micro usb port but i am not sure how to do. Removing usb otg descriptor is enough too. Thanks

Hi Dear Friends! I'm having trouble using the onboard analog soundcard from my OrangePi Zero +. I already enabled analog-in in armbian-config, but when I try to run some application that uses the sound card, it has an error. In this example I'm trying to use the direwolf app that serves to decode FSK audio. The error also repeats when I try to use svxlink.

Hello all, Firstly, a huge thank you to Igor and team for Armbian, I love it and appreciate you for the effort and time you have dedicated to this amazing project, thank you. I have used Armbian on Cubieboard II for a number of years now, running my main server with QuadlogSCADA for my off-grid renewable system at my home. Now, I have had an Olimex LIME-2 eMMC4GB board sitting idle for a while on the corner of my desk and over the past few weeks have been inspired to do some programming with it. So, on this LIME2 board, I have the latest nightly builds, installed to eMMC, all working fine so far. Then, I though to connect a standard 20x4 ch…

When starting orange pi, it happens that not all the RAM is available. That is, the orange pi has 2 GB of RAM and it is written that there is only 1 GB of RAM. This often happens when restarting using the reboot command. If you turn off the power and reconnect, this problem appears much less often.

Hi, back a again for a question. Got an 7" LCD Display connected to my pcDuino with Armbian (Kernel 4.x) and it displays nearly fine on HDMI. First i altered display resolution in /boot(boot.cmd) but i still got "cutted sides" of the display...

Hi Just install latest armbian on Orange Pi Plus. I installed to emmc and i have i issues. that is everytime when i switch on the power adapter i have to manually press the power button of orange pi plus in order to on boot.

Hello, i recently installed armbian on my newly bought Lamobo R1. Everything is working fine so far but for the onboard ethernet LEDs, they're not working as expected. The green LED on port 3 of the internal switch (also known as wan port) ist constantly on, no matter if there is a cable plugged in or not. The orange LED is always off. After some trial and error if figured out that on the other 4 ports the green LED, for the specific port, shows the current network traffic (is blinking) if the established connection is 10Base-T. If the connection is 1000Base-T, the orange LED shows the current network traffic and if the connection is 100Base-T no led is on or sh…

Hi All, I'll start with I know this is a dev image...... but I would like to see the 4.x kernels working on the Orange Pi Lite, so would like to be able to find out why it's not and help get that resolved in any way I can.

Hi, In my OPi PC, the image "Armbian_5.20_Orangepipc_Debian_jessie_3.4.112" resolves .local hosts well, e.g. ` ping rpi1.local ` but the image "Armbian_5.20_Orangepipc_Debian_jessie_3.4.112_desktop" does not, it gives 'ping: unknown host rpi1.local', and it's quite odd, because an ` avahi-resolve -n rpi1.local ` works... uname -a Linux orangepipc 3.4.112-sun8i #10 SMP PREEMPT Sun Oct 23 16:06:55 CEST 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux Any ideas?

Hey everybody. I'm quite new to allwinner, my first experience was with the A13 (sun4i) from olimex. I wrote a kernel driver for the sunxi kernel, which uses the spi and some GPIO. It talks to an SPI RF chip and works just fine. I want to port my kernel driver for the Orange Pi Zero, but have some issues. My main question is: how do i access the fex file, how do i manipulate the gpio and spi ? In the sun4i there are helper functions in the arch/arm/mach-sun4i/sys_config.c file. #define PIN_DIR(handler,dir) gpio_set_one_pin_io_status(handler, dir, NULL) #define PIN_SET(handler,val) gpio_write_one_pin_value(handler, val, NULL) #define PIN_GET(handler) gpio_rea…

Hi... Sorry if this has already answered... I want to know how activate the I2S interface in the latest vanilla image... In the past using the legacy kernel only need to change a few thing in the fex file... Thanks in advance...

Hey all Testing with an Orange Pi Zero with mainline kernel. I've just noticed that none of the usb devices show up which are connected to the pin-header usb ports Is there any quick fix for this? e.g. enabling something somewhere? i think i remember maybe enabling something before to use these ports but i can't quite remember now. checking armbian-config thank you elliot

I have just received an Orange Pi PC Plus, and am mostly happy with it. Linux orangepipcplus 4.14.18-sunxi is installed on a microSD card. There is a minor problem with IP addresses. When I first turned it on I forgot to plug in the network cable, so naturally ifconfig showed no IP address. I plugged in the cable, waited a minute, and tried again. Still no address. Maybe it's not hot-pluggable. Reboot, and I got an address. Since it was outside the range my server accepts I assigned a static address in the router, and rebooted the router. ifconfig still showed the first address, even though the router's client list showed the new …

I have noticed a very weird problem: connection works for some time (several hours or sometimes days) and then stops. Once it stopped working (connection between my mobile app and OrangePi) I have checked on the board: - ping 8.8.8.8 - OK - ping (router IP) - OK - ping (broadcast ) - FAILED - ping (PC or any other device connected to the network) - FAILED In all cases, Wireshark captures the ping requests. Once I tried to ping OrangePi board from my PC, I see in&out ping packet on OPI board by Wireshark. It seems like some lower layer or router (the same on two different) blocks the outgoing connection. Ideas? (WiFi power management off, no fir…

I would like to make Orangepi zero to capture USB output destined for a printer in order to log the output from a system. 1 ) Mimic the connected USB printer (so that the machine thinks it still has the original printer attached) 2 ) Capture the output from the machine 3 ) Send the captured output to the printer.

Hi, after some hours of not using the banana, it seems the system is dead. I cannot log in with a terminal. I cannot bring back the black screen to the console (i am using only the console) with a connected mouse and keyboard. All I can do is a reset.

Hi Community, I'm having problem loading armbian images from SD card. Is there nand image for CT? Thank you for reply in advance Gary

Let me start to express my gratitude for the wealth of information and software which is available here. I'm a longtime user of a usb 2.0 soundcard along with a laptop with KXStudio and Guitarix. I've used this setup many times for gigging and home recording and it proved to be stable. One of the downsides is the "voluminous" laptop. I've my soundcard mounted in a small 19" flightcase with one rack still open. For some years I've been thinking of making rack mountable effectprocessor from a board to substitute the laptop. So, to start this journey I've ordered a OPi PC (along with a good quality micro SD card!), of course not a heavyweight board, but my first…
