To replace my dead home server (which was just a dead laptop anyway), I picked up an Orange Pi PC for cheap locally. After solving power supply issues, I tested GUI and media performance on the board, with an aim to perhaps use the composite out for emulation, before concluding that this wasn't the best choice for the board. (That, and it'd kill my performance for the more useful server aspects.) While technically impressive, it wasn't really worth it when my PC is right there for me to use to play those video files I would on the board. Looking into the matter, it seems the ideal solution for a file server would be to install the Mainline kernel to benefit fr…

Hello, My Opi+2 somehow blocks internet when i turn it on. Even though it is not connected on ethernet port. Then i disabled wifi. Everything seemed fine at first, but as because of i need internet and the wifi is disabled, i had to use ethernet port. When i plug ethernet cable to the opi+2, the modem's internet connection drops. I don't have any ideas about why it is happening. Here is the modem log: Spoiler Jan 1 00:00:08 syslog emerg BCM96345 started: BusyBox v1.17.2 Jan 1 00:00:08 daemon notice kernel: Linux version 2.6.30 (root@localhost.localdomain) (gcc version 4.4.2 (Buildroot 2010.02-git) ) #4 Wed Jun 15 15:00:07…

I have Orange PI Zero running the stable Ubuntu image. Kernel: Linux orangepizero 3.4.113-sun8i. I'm writing a python3 app to communicate with an Arduino using UART. The app works fine for a few hours and then it stops being able to send or receive commands to/from the Arduino. Is there some known issue with the UART on OPI Zero? It looks like the file descriptor for the serial port becomes unavailable somehow.

i've built and started testing stretch ... it mostly looks pretty good with these issues found so far lircd - goes wild. systemd goes to 100% cpu it need to be blacklisted or the like. stopping/disabling it didnt work. i need to remove it to stop the cpu usage problem https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=860551 install python-wheel as default package as pip breaks without it eth0 has gone but seems to be a known issue https://irclog.whitequark.org/linux-sunxi/2017-09-19 and I see that hdmi has made progress (by smaeul) https://irclog.whitequark.org/linux-sunxi/2017-09-26

Hi! I need some help. I built a little torrent server, home media center from opipcplus. It runs transmission all day all night with a heatsink and it keeps the cpu temp under 55°. But if i start kodi or other player the temp jumps to the sky near 80°. i bought a cooling fan and with the heatsink it keeps the cpu under 35° without any problem. its great but it noisy and frustrating. How can i control the pins to automatic turn on and off the fan? can someone send a script or anything help? thank you

I'm interested in having an Orange Pi act as a VNC host to various platforms having the ethernet running over the OTG cable. To that end I've been testing the Armbian Debian_stretch_next desktop image with the 4.x kernel (dated 5.34.171129 nightly build) on my Orange Pi Pc+. I placed g_ether in the /etc/modules and configured it with the module parameter options g_ether use_eem=1 in my g_ether.conf file in /etc/modprobe.d and allow-hotplug usb0 iface usb0 inet static address 169.254.1.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 in my /etc/network/interfaces file. I have set up the orange pi to run a DHCP server and avahi on the O…

I have Orange PI PC Plus with GC2035 camera module. Upgraded to 4.13.6 sunxi-next mainline kernel and noticed that GC2035 camera driver is gone! Why is it so? Maybe someone forgot to include this driver to the kernel? People are still using these cameras and need them! If it was a conscious decision to remove the GC2035 camera from the sunxi-next tree - then, well, it was a horrible decision that should be reversed. Please return this driver. https://github.com/avafinger/gc2035 Earlier it was at ./drivers/media/video/sunxi-vfe/device/gc2035.c location, but now the directory structure could be very different...

Hello again. I am beating my head against the network configuration again and would dearly love some help. I have two orange pi pc boards with static ip's in the 192.168.1. range.

When I try to build OpenCV following default instructions (or any for that matter) I get: don't know what to do and there's nothing online that helps me out. the only thing that worked was apt-get install python-opencv but it installs a very old version which I can't use for my project. Also when I try to make darknet I get:

Hi guys, I have just installed Armbian on my nanopi neo2 which works in 1-bay NAS Kit v1.2 for NanoPi NEO&NEO2 (http://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=192) I have installed Armbian from image (https://dl.armbian.com/nanopineo2/Debian_stretch_next.7z).

Hi I own since a while an Orange Pi One Plus board that I have been unable to use till now (OS images supplied by manufacturer are just a joke !). I wanted to give it a test with ARMBian as you offer now some Beta images. As both Bionic and Stretcher are offered, is there one of them more stable or more near something finished ? Did someone have tried the board with one of these ? and did it work ? Thanks Vincèn

I have a Orange PI PC Plus that isn't booting either from sd or emmc. I had really messed up some configuration, so I erased emmc. After I erased EMMC, I started to get this boot screen. https://photos.app.goo.gl/EbJX43eSATyqTEau8 If I insert a sd card in with the latest Armbian, I get no boot screen, or activity at all. In fact, even if I format the card, and insert it into the OP+ it gets no boot activity. It is only after that I remove the card that it can then boot from usb flash. I ended up writing the latest orangepiplus image to a usb flash drive, and am able to get it to boot via a flash drive. I did backup my microsd install a …

Thanks for providing the new Buster image (5.4.7) for Orange Pi One Plus. All the essential stuff works well, giving me new software possibilities. As a technical feedback, I'd just like to mention 1) the red light keeps shining (instead of turning green, but Armbian runs very well, anyway) 2) an attached monitor doesn't receive any signals (but I prefer SSH anyway) 3) the console keyboard layout wouldn't accept any changes (but using SSH, that doesn't make any difference now). Everything else in armbian-config worked fine. Great tool!

Hi, I'm using a cubietruck and bananapi board (both A20 devices) for a long time (They run very stable for many years). I'm using uart3 for interfacing with arduino boards using the kernel overlay.

Hello guys. After a long time unsuccesfully trying to use a NanoPi Neo to record I2S data, I wonder if is there some NanoPi board that is capable of such thing. Can you suggest one? Thank you very much!

Hi, We've built a network experimentation system using NanoPi R1 modules, but when load testing the system with iperf3, we are seeing the on-board RTL8152 interface enter a state where it does not seem to be responding until the board is power cycled. The system consists of 32 NanoPi modules connected in a torus, with the 1Gig interface connected to its neighbour's 100Mbit interface. An additional USB Ethernet dongle functions as a control interface. The modules are powered from a Ubiquiti PoE switch, using this type of isolated PoE splitter. Eyeballing the switch UI, power consumption per node seems to hover between 2.3W-3.5W, depending on load. W…

Hi there, I have configured (successfully with NetworkManager GUI, or TUI, it was quite ago, can see it in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ ) my OPi3 as an WiFi AP. (Needed this as sharing "normal" LAN traffic with video surveillance on same WiFi channel was a disaster). It works, but in "scan" on OpenWRT routers this WIFi shows only as WPA not WPA2 protected. Armbian Buster 21.02.3. Why? How to correct this? Laurent

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

I seem to remember at one point thinking that U-Boot could be installed into the SPI on the a5e and then I could choose the boot order. Is that possible or did I just dream it? If it is, how do I install U-Boot into the SPI? Is there one specifically for the a5e?

Hallo, first I want to thank Igor for the creation of armbian, great stuff! Many thanks. Now to my issue: While setting up a Lamobo R1 with armbian i was not able to get F-keys F1 to F4 working in Midnight Commander (apt-get install mc). With all three flavours (whezzy, jessie and trusty) it is the same. I tried dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration dpkg-reconfigure locales to get it working with my german (qwertz) keyboard.

Hi to All, Today I try to re-build Armbian (with legacy kernel 3.4 and Debian Jessie) customized by me a week ago and get into trouble to buld and boot it. I am fixing also: BOOTBRANCH=v2015.10 REVISION="5.05" At build process I see that kernel was migrated from version 3.4.110 to 3.4.111 but it builds with no problems.

Friends I have a keyboard Rii i8 + I put the adapter that comes with the keyboard I put to locate by the bluetooth of the armbian it finds but at the time of pairing in happens nothing, only blinks green in Bluetooth and nothing else. I've tried another adapter, but it does not even appear as installed. This keyboard I use it with Openelec and works perfectly. Does anyone have any tips on what I can do for it to work on Armbian? Thanks.

Hi Everyone. I expect I'm making a simple mistake here, but I'm pretty new to this and could use some help. I am trying to set a static ip address on an orange pi pc running armbian Jessie 5.36. I want a static ip to set up an nfs between multiple boards. I've done this before on debian desktops, but this time I'm getting errors. I have tried multiple ways (editing the /etc/network/interfaces, nmtui, nmcli) without success. For simplicity, here's a version of what I'm doing. I start with a clean install. The Opi connects to my router fine. I add and update all the packages I need, then use nmtui to change the name of the network connection from "Ethern…

Hello, I've flashed my SD card with Armbian_5.41_Orangepiwin_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.10.107_desktop and after booting the system everything works like a charm except my sound which I've tried to get through the 3.5mm jack. I've done upgrade && update but that doesn't seem to help. I've tried several headphones and speakers and none of them worked. On top of that I've tried flashing this image file on one other microSD card and I've tried running it on another Opi Win Plus board since I have several of them lying around my house. Regarding my power supply, it's 5V 3A which I've read is the appropriate one. I'm fairly ne…

Hello! I have a Zero2 board with 1GB of RAM. I compiled a Debian 12 desktop image for Zero2 using Armbian and I want to play online videos through a web browser. Unfortunately, the results have been disappointing as the performance for 1080p videos is very slow. I tried using swap, but it didn't help. I also attempted to play 1080p videos using MPV and VLC. MPV can still play the videos, but it feels sluggish, and VLC gets stuck on the screen until the playback is finished. I would like to know how to configure Zero2 on Linux to achieve video acceleration. I'm new to this, so I would appreciate some guidance. Thank you!

I have my Orange Pi running for a while on the CLI release of Jammy with kernel version: 6.6.16. It has been working well. I was building another one up and I went to download Armbian and I noticed that OrangePiZero is community supported now (Don't think it was before?). The current version to download says that network issues are expected. I never had this on 6.6.16 so wanted to stay on that. I looked here: https://armbian.hosthatch.com/archive/orangepizero/archive/ But there is only minimal for 6.6.16, all/most others have minimal and CLI (typical, the one I want lol) Is there somewhere else I could find the CLI vers…

Recently I tried to connect CAN bus adapter to my Orange Pi 3 LTS board and it happened that there is not so much information about it, it is outdated or related to other boards. So, after I spent a few days in trials and errors below is my recipe. 1. Connect a CAN interface board. Orange Pi pins are not 5V tolerant, so I decided to use a dedicated 2-channel board from Waveshare: https://www.waveshare.com/2-ch-can-hat.htm (only one channel for the start). You can modify a cheap board from AliExpress though; there are instructions in the Internet. I used the PL10 pin of Orange Pi 3 LTS board as INT pin. Actually first I tried to use the PD21 pin but it seems that…

Hello, I have on my Orange Pi 2+ and Orange Pi 2+e Armbian 5.14 and 5.16 and both have the same problem: WiFi isn't constant. The signal fluctuates from 48% to 92% or from 20% to -1%. There is no difference with or without a LAN cable. When I connect the Orange Pi with a WiFi network the signal is constant. Is there somebody, who knows how to fix this problem?

the entry in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq (maybe the path is wrong, I haven't the machine and I'm going by memory) is readable only by root so it is not usable to a normal user to display the current frequency of the processor, There is a way to change this behaviour? My distribution is for Olimex-A20-Micro with legacy kernel 5.14 if i don't go wrong. TIA and regards

Hello, I have Debian 8 with XFCE Desktop installed on my Orange Pi 2. I downloaded the OS image from the orangepi.org a while ago and everything works OK except the WiFi. Does Armbian support the onboard WiFi of the OP2 ? If yes then I will change the OS today Thank you

Hello every one, My first post here i'll try to be clear but english is not my mother langage. I bought a couple of opi zero with usb expansion board and a case. I needed small devices able to run a linux daemon and control a bluetooth LE device. They are used as antennas in a bluetooth mesh network. The orange pi zero seemed to be a good choice. I first installed the opizero with armbian 5.24 debian version. Unfortunately I was unable to use bluepy lib. It was the same with the xenial version. Another user of the bluetooth advertisement plugin told me to use last firmware (5.25) and upgrade to 4.x kernel. I was then able to use bluepy lib. I moved the opi zeros …

Is it possible to turn off / on the voltage (5V) GPIO from the command line ? .... So turn off eg 16x2 LCD power ....Is it possible only physically eg disconnecting the cable ( 2 , 4 - GPIO)

The device gets unbearably hot as soon as it gets turned on, after ~30 seconds the Ethernet ports start to flash and the red light flashes for ~.5 of a second. I'm assuming it's toast, right?

Hi everyone. I have a opz with H2+ and expansión board. I had installed Jessie before. And now, I upgraded to stretch. why espeak-ng sounds so bad?? in jessie that did not happen.

Hello, I would like to ask your help with the following problem. I'm able to put my Orange Pi PC Plus to suspend state using this command: echo -n mem>/sys/power/state When I wake it up using the SW4 pushbutton it resumes operation properly. I would like to automatically execute my script every time the system resumes from suspend state. I found two different methods, I've spent several hours trying them and non of them seems to be working with Orange Pi PC Plus. First method: using /lib/systemd/system-sleep Second method: using /etc/pm/sleep.d It seems my system does not execute the scripts confi…

HI I noticed that the Windows 10 on Arm version has the ability to install on mini-pc, like the raspberry pi. My question is, is Windows 10 capable of being installed on the BOARD WITH h5 processor? I USE OF QEMU-KVM FOR INSTALL WINDOWS ON MY ORANGE PI BOARD BUT IT HAS VERY LOW PERFORMANCE AND QEMU ONLY USE OF ONE OF H5 CPU CORE . Is it possible to install on orange pi pc2 armbian and Windows operating systems at the same time with dual boot?

Hello, Since the kernel 5.3, used for ARMBIAN reached EOL: http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1912.2/04661.html Is there any movement to a new kernel version?

ARMBIAN 5.41 user-built Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.14.34-sunxi, Orange Pi Zero board. Very limited Debian installed, wifi doesn't work. I found lines install xradio_wlan /bin/false install 8189es /bin/false in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and removed it. In /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf I added the lines 8189es xradio_wlan. No help, wi-fi didn't work, nothing about xradio or wifi in dmesg. I figured out that there was no drivers (modules) for wifi. Found this article https://linux-sunxi.org/Wifi I execute the commands from the article, section RTL8189ES / RTL8189ETV The driver has its own repository: git clone https://github.com/jwrdegoede/rtl8189ES_li…

After selecting and saving the settings in armbinEnv.txt it is overlay_prefix=sun50i-h616 overlays=sun50i-h616-i2c3-ph sun50i-h616-uart5-ph as a result the defined overlays are not loaded Is it supposed to be like t…

Dear Igor, I made a custom 4.1 kernel with your script, where a staging driver (mn88472) is included. I'am trying to use an Astrometa DVB stick with mn88472 demodulator, but it's not working. Everything seems fine, no errors, every module loaded, firmware is in it's place. If I run wscan, it goes through every frequency, but it doesn't find any channel. The most weird thing is that two or three times it worked, but I don't know why, and I am not able to reproduce it. (I am using DVB-C so it's sure that the signal is fine) I investigated the source code of the mn88472 module, and as I see, I should get a notice about the firmware load status. An error message o…

Hi congrats for the wonderful job with Armbian, i own a banana pro and I've found a great projet for rasp called Dietpi (http://dietpi.com/), Unfortunately the creator hasnt got a Bpro so he is not able to make it for our board, I'm asking if anyone is capable of making this suitable for us? It would be even more awesome, thank you

I need to run btrfs for a headless web server on an Opi PC. The armbian 3.4 kernel btrfs is too green to be used. I was able to install the 4.7.3 kernel (and remove the 3.4.x) using apt. I got btrfs and support for some USB devices, but lost HDMI and 3 cpu cores. Is there a better option I could try? This board seems to be running like a champ with just one core but I would like to have it fire on all 4 and have at least some video output if I wanted to. Is it ok to ask for recomends as to what board I might better choose? I require a modern Ubuntu/kernel, decent usb, decent network (gigabit if possible), and low cost. They will be used for personal cloud an…

Hello there, hope you been able to give me a hand; I've downloaded and installed without problems the current Xenial server Vanilla distro on my Banana pi. Then I've tried installing iptables, but for some reason, everytime I execute 'sudo systemctl start iptables' I receive the following error message: Failed to start iptables.service: Unit iptables.service not found. I know that something has got installed, as iptables -L provides the expected output; however, any systemctl command for iptables (start, stop, enable, restart) fails with the message above. Certinaly, searching for 'iptables.service' at file system returns no matchs, so file is really missing. My under…

Hi All, I'm trying to get usb otg enabled as host mode to add, for instance, a keyboard with a powered hub (I know otg is not delivering power or at least I don't want to drain more power with the otg) I'm using vanilla kernel 4.8.4 so I kind of expect otg enabled as host mode by default.

Hi, with the Cubieboard 1 there's a bug with the kernel inotify's option. The problem is that Minidlna uses this feature in order to update its dabatase, but since on Cubie it doesn't work, I've tried both ArchLinux Arm and Armbian, i can't have an updated db. Do you know if there's any solution in order to fix this issue? Maybe trying another kernel, different from the default linux-sunxi? Thanks for your time! Marco

Hello, I have 2 Orange Pi Zero boards, one with 256MB RAM and one with 512MB RAM. I tried running both: Armbian_5.25_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113.img and Armbian_5.24.170110_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_xenial_4.9.0.img, but the same thing happens. When I power on the OPZ, a few seconds later the Red LED starts blinking and doesn't stop... The issue is present on both boards. Any suggestions?

Is there any real-time patch support for the Banana Pi M2+? Thank You

Hello, I've just switched from bananian to armbian (as many others here as I've seen), and successfully finished migrating everything. I use the Banana as a little home server, NAS, sane/cups printer sharer and home cloud. I want to use docker on it, but I'm finding some difficulties to make it run. I'm currently on 4.9.12-sunxi. I've tried installing docker from the ubuntu repo but it doesn't seem to work. I've seen some topics about building a custom kernel for this, is this necessary? Did someone managed to make docker run? Thanks.

My Orange Pi Zero (rev 1.4) has a SPI flash module soldered to the underside. I can see the devices /dev/spidev0.0 and /dev/spidev1.0, and I can write to them and read from them (with dd), but the data I read from them is always just null bytes. Obviously then I can't create a filesystem on them. Is it possible to create a small filesystem on the SPI flash to add files? If not, how is it possible to store data on the SPI flash? I'm running Armbian 5.30 with kernel 3.4.113-sun8i.

Hi, we have found an issue with Armbian 5.31 on a Banana Pi M2+ board that occurs when IP forwarding is enabled and there is high network load.

Please someone could show some light in it, thank you. Edit: sorry, I forget say my wlan config is make in plain /etc/network/interfaces, with fixed IP, the SBC work fine up to go down.

Hey folks, I'm trying to play back a couple test files, H.264, 720p. These play without dropping frames on the stock Android ROM for a little while but then freeze, seemingly on certain keyframes? It's always in the same place. Anyway, I tried playing them with mpv on Armbian 5.38 desktop install and it drops frames like crazy. I know the stock Android ROM can play back Youtube content (in the app) without dropping frames - it seems like this should be doable based on what I understand about the capabilities of the A20 and on hardware support in the legacy kernel in the Armbian image ... is there tuning I should be doing? Or options for mpv that I can try? I've used VLC f…

Is there a way to turn the screen off (at least) after system halted? maybe a script that runs right before shutdown ? I've reas several discussion but non of the solutions worked

Hello. I have several new NanoPi-NEO Core devices. OS FriendlyELEC (Ubuntu 16.04.2) was already installed on them, and it does not allow me to boot from the SD card. There is an image created by a script emmc-backup.sh How do I deploy this image?

The orange pi zero has a USB OTG interface, which can be used to interact with it in the absence of networks and spare USB-UART converters. This is not enabled by default in the Armbian image. Here I describe how to modify the system image before first boot to enable this. First, mount the freshly written SD card on a linux computer, become root, and change directory to the mount point, that is, the root directory of the SD card. The following couple of steps were taken from https://oshlab.com/enable-g_serial-usb-otg-console-orange-pi-armbian/which describes how to enable this in a live system, i.e. after first boot. The steps are modified to work on the moun…
