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.

Hello. I failed to switch from legacy to mainline kernel on my OPi 2 mini (it's an OPi 2 without onboard wifi). I installed the packages: linux-image-dev-sun8i linux-headers-dev-sun8i linux-firmware-image-dev-sun8i and rebooted, but the system hangs at "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel."

Never had a problem with Armbian on my board. After last full upgrade (linux-image-next-sunxi 5.27.170427 etc) system is not booting. I tried with a fresh SD card (image Armbian_5.25_Cubieboard_Debian_jessie_next_4.9.7) - it's booting fine afresh, but also doesn't boot after full upgrade. Below are logs for both cases.

I am trying to setup a logitech squeezebox server on an Orange Pi Zero so that it can be carried around and serve my collection from a large micro-sd card. This is the 3rd iteration of this already (first was given as a gift, 2nd got fried by 12V, and now this one) and in the past I've been using hostapd to connect while away from home. I'd like to explore the possibility of using a Bluetooth Personal Area network, but I am not sure if there is a stack that can achieve this for me. The idea is that I would use bluetooth instead of wifi to connect to the orange pi zero and establish a tcp/ip connection that would allow me to control the server using the phone…

Which is the maximum current delivered by the pin 5v of the gpio in an Orange Pi LITE? I would like to connect on it some sensors that needs 5v power supply. Thanks

I have my Orange Pi Zero flashed correctly (I think) with the green light solid and the red light flashing on every so often. I've got the unit plugged into a charger that provides sufficient power. The devices SoC warms up hinting that it is actually booting. When plugged into my network the activity LEDs do not flash nor does my router detect it. I'm considering connecting my keyboard to connect it to wifi blind. If I plug it in after boot nothing changes. What should I do? How can I connect it to my wifi blind? I do not have the shield for video out.

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 would like to install Armbian on Cubieboard2 with eMMC as internal storage and have faced some problems. The first challenge was to make eMMC accessible, it was solved using .fex from cubieboard sdk for this revision (also tried cubieboard2dual.fex, but without any effect). The second problem was behavior of nand-sata-install included in desktop image - it overwrite wrong root partition (external SD instead of eMMC), but it was also solved using latest version of nand-sata-install. But after installation, system isn't booting from eMMC. Since root filesystem is successfully copied to eMMC, I think there is problem with bootloader. Is there an…

Hi all, first i want to thank all of you for this great software. Problem: No ethernet on mainline 4.11 kernel. I tracked the problem down to a 'ethernet status = "disabled"' in the dtb for the orange pi zero. How to fix it? I have only very little experience with Device tree. 4.11 is ok for the other OPs, i tested the OP One. Kind regards svollmar

Hi. For some days I was working to compile a customized live distro based on Armbian and live-boot for my BananaPi M2+ board. Finally, it is ready to use. It boots from the builtin emmc flash and is completely readonly. It uses overlayfs together with squashfs. It also uses zram as swap to enhance memory capacity. A nice effect is that the sd/flash image becomes only 400mb, since it is squashed.. I would share the image and the details of making it, if somebody is interested, send me a message...

I want to use a shutdown button to make a secure shutdown with the nanopi neo air. But i am completly lost how it works. I don't find out, which GPIO's i can use for a script. And if i need a puuldown or not. Can somebody help me? Thanks Chris

Are there plans for an armbian version for the new Orange Pi Prime? Hardware specs look very similar to the PC2 but it has 2GB RAM which makes it an interesting SoC.

Since a few weeks Olimex delivers their 4GB Variant of the Olinuxo A20 Micro with standard eMMC (See this revision https://github.com/OLIMEX/OLINUXINO/blob/master/HARDWARE/A20-OLinuXino-MICRO/A20-OLINUXINO-MICRO-EMMC_Rev_J.pdf) Onfortunality the Armbian Version for this board does not support eMMC (Although it is not recognized). How can I enable this support? Kind regards, Pieter

Hi armbians, I was wondering how do you trigger the red LED for other devices like USB r/w or wifi tx/rx . echo mmc0 > /sys/class/leds/orangepi:red:status/trigger works like a charm for microSD r/w.

I'm trying to use an OrangePi Zero as an Alexa device, using github.com/alexa-pi/AlexaPi. This is headless, but I need analogue out and in. Given that it's headless, I thought I'd use the mainline kernel instead of headless. Everything installs fine, but ALSA does not see anysound card hardware. aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found... I can try legacy, but I'd prefer to use mainline if possible.

Hello, my orange pi pc has recently started to have reduced speeds. Where I used to get the full 100Mbit on lan, I now get around 30Mbit, be it sftp, samba, http. Speed flanctuates a bit but stays around the 30MBit so no big differences. I am able to write with consistent speeds of over 10MB/s on the microsd so that can't be the problem (using dd) and full ~30MB/s on the attached sata disk. uname -a Linux orangepipc 3.4.113-sun8i #10 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 23 19:55:00 CET 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux Any ideas what I can check?

As the title says, my OpiPC don't want to boot. It starts to boot, with UART console I can see u-boot loading and doing its job, but just when it would start the kernel the console gets borked with non-ascii characters. After this, the board just hangs there. I've tested with 3 different images (written out by Etcher), checked the images checksum and checked the SDcard with F3. This setup worked fine a month ago, when I last had the time to play with it. Since than, the board was just lying on my desk, turned off.

I'm currently running ARMBIAN 5.25 Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 4.10.12-sunxi on my Cubietruck, which otherwise works fine as a headless data and media server. However, as I don't need any Bluetooth service whatsoever in the given environment, I have been trying to get rid of it - in vain. Is there a safe and lasting method of preventing the Bluetooth module from loading on reboot? Can it be stripped from the system at all completely? Many thanx in advance

How can I change to a ramdisk in Cubietruck? I have seen in boot folder that are a uinitrd file. How can I start from it? Default is zIimage, right? Leonardo

It seems that the latest Nano Pi Neo Air Boards and the relatively new Orange Pi Zero Plus 2 both use a modified version of the AP6212 WiFi+Bluetooth module, which is physically labelled as AP6212A. This new module apparently requires different drivers to operate. From my own experience, I was unable to get the internal WiFi module to work on a Nano Pi Neo Air (with AP6212A) using any of the Armbian distributions. However, I was able to get WiFi to work on that board with the Friendly Arm distribution at from https://www.mediafire.com/folder/sr5d0qpz774cs/NanoPi-NEO_Air#oc15bwqbuxgxe.

Hi, I have been messing around with an Orange Pi One Board for a day or 2 now. So far the only distro that works has been yours. But I have the weirdest thing when I apply an update. Excuting apt-get update actually causes the machine to lose power completly. I have been looking at more data this is what I have. After and before the crash. Last freeze with htop analyzing. Am I missing something? I don't see a good reason for this to happen. Is there a common method to fix this if it is a known issue?

Yesterday my 14" Pinebook arrived so I thought I'll collect some already available information. A lot of work still has to be done to get a decent laptop experience with this hardware so this is neither a review nor a stupid Un-Review but just a preview instead.

Pinebook is wedge-shaped and thickness matches both the 2011 15" MacBook Pro and the 13" from 2015: Display size closely matches the 13" MacBook Pro (but of course pixel density / resolution don't match as well as quality: TN vs. IPS and coating -- it should be obvious if you've the 'you get what you…

I just wanted to share some instructions on how to control all GPIO pins on the OrangePi Zero Plus 2 board. These instructions are meant for newbies but it can be extremely helpful if you are new to Armbian, OPI and GPIO. At least it would have been for me. There is a total of 17 different pins to control according to the schematic below. These pins are highlighted in blue numbers that indicate what GPIO port they are available at. Use these numbers in order to know that pins to control. Look for instructions further down. First off some basics: Activate a pin by exporting it. For example. In order to activate IO-0 run: echo "…

I'm working in a project that needs to use 12 GPIO pins (plus serial!) on the Orange Pi Zero. To achieve that, I need to disable at least one of the I2C interfaces in the 26-pin header. Following the instructions on https://linux-sunxi.org/I2Cdev, I have decompiled, edited and recompiled /boot/config.bin, but I still can't access any of the pins used by the I2C ports. Specifically, what I have done is to edit the decompiled script.bin.fex file, and in sections named [twi0] and [twi1], changed twi_used=1 to twi_used=0. After that, running a simple program that sets the pins to input and reads its status allways returns 1, even if the pin is connected to ground or…

A board (nanopi neo) collects some information and stores it to SD card. Users than change the SD card and open it on PC (windows). Due windows limitation, there is only one (first) partition (fat/ntfs) can be visible. Current mainline image for nanopi neo contains only one ext4 partition, so I tried to gparted it (moved first partition and made new FAT16 one), but for some reason, the image did not boot. So I'm looking for info, how to make two partitions properly.

When the minidlna was updating its library and keeping cpu usage up and while I was doing some network traffic the CT froze. I thought this was a physical network issue and I bonded the wlan0 and eth0 so that wlan0 acts as backup when eth0 is down.

(I'm not going to use the nightly version, seems it doesn't get any end sup…

Hi everyone I'm trying to use an Orange Pi Zero but I have some troubles by using Ethernet and WiFi. First, I connect to the pi via SSH by using ethernet IP. Then, I connect to the pi via SSH by using WiFi IP. At this point, all works fine. The problem appears when I disconnect the Ethernet cable. After doing it, I also lose WiFi connexion. my cfg : Armbian v5.25 Debian jessie 3.4.113-sun8i

Hi! Sorry if it is already covered but I didn't find a complete answer on the subject on the forum... So I have activated the uart3 overlay and enable CTS and RTS on an own-build Armbian 5.27 dev flavor for my NanoPi NEO Air. But I was unable to get the AP6212 Bluetooth working, I've try some infos/commands found elsewhere without any luck My question: Is Bluetooth on Nanopi NEO Air (or any H3 board with AP6212) still WIP on Armbian? Thanks. Emmanuel.

Hi everybody, I recently purchased a Orange Pi Zero since I needed a tiny board, and after setting it up I noticed that the resolution didn't fit properly in a portable TV I was using. Doing some research (I'm a complete newbie), I found the command "h3disp" ot change resolution on Armbian for H2+ and H3 boards, so I gave it a try. Now it's completely black and no signal on AV IN. Thanks to a post in this site, I noticed that every command in h3disp was for HDMI outputs and that doesn't fit Orange Pi Zero since it supports PAL and NTSC only, so now after changing between 480i and 576i doesn't seem to be showing anything at all. I was wondering if I could restore…

Hello, today I want to connect the OpiPcPlus to a Flexscan S1921 Monitor. I select h3disp -m 33 -d to use my *tested* hdmi-to-dvi cable and reboot. Now the monitor complains: fV: 59.9 Hz fH: 63.9 kHz fD: 161.7 MHz ****red*** this seems too high because VESA mode should use a pixel frequency of 108MHz which is also the spec of the monitor. 1280x1024 @ 60Hz (VESA) hsync: 64.0kHz 1280x1024 108.0 1280 1328 1440 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066 +hsync +vsync The pixel frequency seems too high for the 60 Hz image refresh, it corresponds to 85 Hz. I am using legacy kernel: Linux JagOpi 3.4.113-sun8i #10 SMP PREEMP…

Dear community. I like to get the NanoPi Neo air work as HID Gadget using libcomposite. I am using the dev kernel (4.10) and libcomposite is loaded. Following this tutorial http://isticktoit.net/?p=1383 the usb gadget init script is running without errors on startup. But there is no entry in /sys/class/udc/ and i get no /dev/hidg0 device Did i missed something? is there a special overlay directive for the usb controller? or is something missing in the kernel? is it better to use the g_hid module?

Hello! Can you help me: Orange Pi Zero 256 and 512 with power supply 2A hangs after try printing over usbip as server with CANON CAPT printer. I had checked on Armbian Ubuntu nightly kernel 4.10+ and Arch linux with kernel from distributors. On client I had try Ubuntu server 16.04 x64 with mainline kernel 4.10 and 17.04 i386 with distributor's kernel and CUPS. Can I local debug this situation? Or may be else how? That kind logs is needed for probably open bug in kernel? Or may test this situation between non-ARM system, but for what if specific ARM code may be exist? I already asked maintainer of usbip subsystem - he adviced me trying m…

Greetings, I recently purchased an Orange Pi Zero for the purpose of Pi-Hole. I have been running Pi-Hole on a Raspberry Pi-1 under Jessie and the stability was great. I never had to worry about it. However, with Orange Pi Zero, running Armbian/Jessie as well, I get a maximum of 2 days of up-time. This is a standard armbian/jessie installation with only pi-hole installed. Since there is no video output (I did not purchase the extension board), I had to perform a power-off/on. Without ruling out the possibility of hardware fault (SD card or USB power supply), does anyone have stability problem of Armbian/Jessie on Orange Pi Zero? …

Hi all, I am running a lime2 board with trusty as a server. Now I wanted to upgrade to xenial and used the standard Ubuntu way using "do-release-upgrade". Since that failed and resulted in a not booting image I was now wondering if this is the right approach for armbian as well. I was searching the docs but couldn't find what I was looking for. Thanks Chris

Hi, As displayed at boot (when terminal connection used through SSH) where can I find the CPU temparature after the boot ? Because I tried to check the content of files : cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp and cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp It well displayed it but when I use the "sensors" command line (comming from "lm-sensors" package installation) and even after having done the recommended "sensors-detect" command line (and answered YES at all the questions to be sure having found all the potentially existing sensors), the "sensors" command line just returned this Sincerely t…

I have seen many tutorials about connecting real time clock hardware on Orange Pi and Raspberry Pi. What i didn't like was removing of fake-hwclock service, because I want that RTC works when it is connected, and fake-hwclock when RTC is not connected. Therefore, I changed /sbin/fake-hwclock script to work in this way. So, here is how to do this, tested on OrangePi+2E, Armbian Ubuntu legacy kernel: Purchase cheap DS3231 module on eBay (cca. $1) like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DS3231-AT24C32-IIC-Modul-High-Precision-Real-Time-Clock-Module-Arduino-New-/292041844936?hash=item43ff0ce8c8:g:d80AAOSwdGFYtsFP Put battery in module.

Hello, I need your help to know if it's possible to dump an img to sdcard to make it's working android on my orange pi pc? For testing purpose i 'm linux man and i will say android is a piece of shiit if you ask me! I find an image from Beelink X2 and now i supose i 'm succes to unpack img to fex files... Is needed to modify boot.fex to boot from sdcard (default choice on OPC H3) or just extract system.fex to have my rootfs and take normal armbian bootloader? I dreaming or there is a way like that?

The other day I literally burned my fingers when trying to figure out why my mostly idle bpi-m2+ did not respond. Unfortunately I forgot to throttle the CPU/RAM with the h3consumption tool. Which settings would you recommended for a M2+ in order to avoid overheating? To my surprise the overheating also happened without high loads.

I see in the lib/extras-buildpkgs there's fswebcam-gc2035 config but I see no way how to build the kernel with support for gc2035 ? I built "Linux orangepione 4.10.11-sun8i #2 SMP Tue Apr 18 17:55:20 CEST 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux" but it does not recognise gc2035 and there's no gc2035 module anywhere to be found I have ./kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/g_webcam.ko ./kernel/drivers/media/usb/stkwebcam/stkwebcam.ko but nothing wrt gc2035 I also found https://github.com/avafinger/gc2035.git that's supposedly "better driver" for gc2035, but it's for 3.x kernel, don't see a way to get it into 4.10.11 kernel an…

Hello, I am going to make a project using OrangePi (most likely OrangePi Lite, but could be other model) with a camera. So, there is my supplication, for someone to make a test and check HOW MANY pictures (let's say 640x480) can the camera take PER ONE SECOND (working continuously, in a loop)? I am interested in both types of cameras: a USB webcam and OrangePi CAM module. And it's about taking pictures, not a movie. By the way - it is possible to take pictures into RAM? I mean not writing it to SD card. It would improve performance :-) Thanks to everyone in advance!

It looks like there is no hardware accelerated video decoding/encoding on the Banana PI M1 currently (on the server build). Is there any chance to enable it?

Hello, I have started on Armbian Ubuntu on a Orange Pi PC and have some difficults to follow the tiny font on the terminal emulator. In order to change the fontsize, I used the command "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" and choosed the Terminus font with a bigger size. But no effect after reboot. With which trick a modification can be performed? What is with the fonts marked with "framebuffer"? If a modification is not possible with the Armbian terminal emulator, can I use an alternative? So I miss a property button as available on Raspian. Thanks for yor help and best regards Walter

Hi everyone, I am using an orange pi one to run a table top CNC machine I built and using it to run bCNC to send the g-code to an Arduino. I had downloaded and flashed an image of the Debian Jessie Desktop V5.20 a while ago and it has been working great for other things along the way as well as this project. I had some issues with the bCNC program and decided to uninstall the OS and restart from new. When I did, everything seems normal until I get to the login screen in the terminal area where I have to create a new user account and password and enter my information, then it asks if I want to change the display settings from what I already have which I don't…

I'm trying to use a few of the GPIO pins as output pins on an Orange Pi PC+ running Armbian 5.26 and legacy kernel 3.4.113-sun8i. When I look at the FEX file, it appears that the GPIO pins have all been disable d by default: [gpio_para] gpio_used = 0 gpio_num = 0 I don't recall them being disabled by default in previous versions of Armbian. I s this a recent change? Anyway, I edited the file and changed it to: [gpio_para] gpio_used = 1 gpio_num = 3 gpio_pin_1 = port:PA13<1><default><default><default> gpio_pin_2 = port:PA14<1><default><default><defau…

Hey there,I am having trouble with SPI on my Banana Pro. I am trying to access the SPI interface via WiringPI (the Lemaker Banana Pro version). But whenever I try to access it, it tells me: Unable to open SPI device: No such file or directory The message is correct, as there are no /dev/spi* files present. The question is: How do I get them?(according to http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort#Status_Matrix it should be available since 3.15)For the 3.4.x, one had to load modules (spidev, etc.) but this doesn't seem to work for 4.9.x. There is a 'spidev' module which loads fine (according to lsmod) but with no recognizable…

Hi, After upgrading from Lemaker Lubuntu with 3.4 kernel to the latest Armbian with 4.9 kernel my application that reads INPUT PIN using wiringPi is behaving very strange and unstable. I simply make a pin INPUT and check the value using gpio read command. When I short the pin the value returned by gpio command changes not always immediately. Some times it takes up to 5 seconds to refresh the value. I mean, it keeps returning me "0" while the pin is shortened and only few seconds later it starts returning me "1". WiringPi is installed from this repo: https://github.com/LeMaker/WiringBP Is it still fully compatible with 4.9 kernel? Or do I need …

Hello, I have a Orange Pi PC. I want to boot the system from usb. How can I do this with the armbian distro? Or can anybody give me a link to a tutorial. (sorry for my english, I'm french)

Hi guys, does anyone know how to put a system indicator which is dock-able on the armbian panel similar to the photo below?

I am using Orange Pi PC+. Hope someone could help. Thank you very much in advance!

Hey folks, I'm hoping for some advice on achieving decent graphics for my application. I've got a prototype running with a custom board hosting the NanoPi Neo Air and a bunch of my own hardware. The biggest issue right now is getting reasonable graphics performance. The difference between mainline and legacy support has had me confused and switching back and forth trying to find a useful solution. Here's what I've learned so far: Mainline feels like the future, so that's my preference. My application uses fbtft over SPI for the graphics. I achieved 72MHz SPI on mainline which gives almost reasonable performance. On legacy the SPI driver seems buggy and …

From Zadors reply to I learned there is a Video Engine for Video, Mali for 3d and a Display Engine for 2d. I used an old version of armbian on OPi PC (h3disp had no 4k option) . Moving desktop windows was very fast. In current desktop release legacy 3.4.113 moving large windows is very slow. So I guess Display Engine is not working correctly. How can I determine if it works? Mainline version gives me no display at all. Thanks.

Dear colleagues, good afternoon. I have 3 problems with the display. I have a orange pi zero. Installed armbian. I set the 2.8-inch display ili9341 spi for instructions, all works very well, but ... expansion of the display - 320x240. But the system is set up as 640x480. Font on the console - Terminus framebufer 6x12. And I am looking for a smaller. Help me please. I want to make the setting expand in the system - 320x240. Font still less. And it passes the wrong color, and I want to make the right color.

Hi The question is maybe trivial but I'm not sure how are numbered pins on the Orange Pi Plus 2 board. On the board is a triangle/arrow directed to an one pin. Is it no. 1? Thank you in advance. Wojciech

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…
