Dear Armbian community, Thanks for your gret effort. I'm struggling to make my 3.5 jack audio output delivering some other sound than just constant hissing noise.

Hi guys, I just installed Kodi on my Orange Pi Lite running Armbian. Everything worked very well, except for the fact that that there seemed to be no audio at all through my tv. I am a beginner, so I really don't know what to do at this point. I saw someone talking about editing the /etc/asound.conf file so it will transmit sound through the HDMI cable. However, I have no idea how to open a file in the Terminal. I would love to (at least) know how to open a file in the Terminal. Thanks in advance, TheNooter.

Hi, I read the docs but could not find out what to download to get a headless server. Getting Started says: "mainline: headless server, light desktop operations" In mainline there are 2 downloads for server (Debian, Ubuntu) and one for desktop (Ubuntu). I do not need a desktop, thus I do not want to waste space, RAM and CPU on anything related to it. May I ask, what to download or if there is no headless version what to do to remove the desktop-features alltogether? Thank you very much. Stephan

Hi, I'm a noob with this mini Pc's, but I think that I don't have doing anything wrong. My Orange Pi Zero no boot, no led power, only leds of ethernet, but the power leds (green and red) don't work, I tried with 2 microsd, and 2 systems too, but same problem, no reaction. Any solution please? Thanks.

Hi there, I recently purchased a NanoPi NEO Air from FriendlyElec with a CAM500B module. It works alright with the mjpg-streamer and their provided Ubuntu Core. I built an Arabian 5.27 Nano Pi Air Debian Jessie image with the default kernel and the device is no longer found. I've forced the load of ov5640 and vfe_v4l2 in /etc/modules, but /dev/video0 isn't appearing. The kernel log has this in it when the module is loaded: [ 116.519650] [OV5640@lex]init_sensor - frame_rate: 0, max_win_size: 11 If I boot back to Ubuntu Core via SD, the camera is back.

Apologies if this is documented/reported somewhere else, but I can't see anything on a quick forum search. I received two Orange Pi Zeros this morning, and eagerly downloaded the Orange Pi Zero flavour of Armbian (Xenial Legacy) and loaded it up on a good 8GB microSD. I then started using it, updating it, and suddenly realised that it only had a 1.4GB partition when it failed to finish updating due to insufficient space. I thought since I'd had some issues logging into it that I might have interrupted the first boot resize, so I re-imaged it, and loaded it up, left if five minutes, and then logged. No cigar... says it is still 1.4GB (1.4GB size, 1.2GB used, 2…

Hello, I managed to run OPi as a media player using OpenELEC (works charmingly fast - much much better than on RasPi), bun on Armbian (legacy kernel - 3.4.113) something went not too good Firsty, I burn desktop Xenial image onto SD card, dropped into Orange, and everything worked fine besides sound via HDMI - even locally played MP3 files were stuttering, not mentioning Youtube in Chromium - CPU usage was in range of 30-40 percent. Sound in TV speakers were annoying- one second of music, long pause, repeated until I press stop button. So I gave up with Xenial, write a Jessie server image (also legacy kernel), installed XFCE with all recommende…

Hello everyone, First of all, sorry for my bad English. Quick description of my problem: I recently buy three Orange Pi Plus 2E with official case and official AC adapter. On this three cards I want to use Armbian, I use the last version of Armbianfound here: https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-plus-2e/ Write on SD card with Win32DiskImager. For information, I use a Samsung EVO 16G SD Card, same HDMI cable, same screen and official A/C adapter. For two cards, no problem, boot on Armbian on SD card and install on emmc in 10 minutes, but the last one have some problem... The last card won't boot on SD card with Armbian: black …

I have a windows 7 laptop and the A20 cubietruck board with Mainline 4.9.7 Debian Jessie and I need to achieve an ssh connection between them via a wireless router.On cubietruck I have installed opnssh-client and openssh-server and have checked that it listens to port 22. On windows I try with putty to connect to board via ssh. The connection is done , I give username and password but then it freezes and I cannot access any of the folders of the debian. I also tried the mobaxterm but the same result. Does anyone has an idea of what I have done wrong?

With an earlier version of Armbian (Server) I was able to use my Orange Pi Pc + to feed data back to Flightaware, Flight Radar, Planefinder, ADSB Exchange. An upgrade put an end to that in the latest version. Is it possible to get this working in future Upgrades of Armbian? Piaware Install

I have a 3TB drive attached via SATA, with independent PSU. Despite my best efforts I cannot get it to be recognized as anything more than 801GB/746GiB. This drive works in another machine fine. I tried a low-level wipe (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M), as well as creating new GPT partition tables. hdparm -I does correctly report info, but `cat /sys/class/block/sda/queue/physical_block_size` reports block size at 512.

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.

Hi I want to install a tv-server (vdr) on my orangepi with a usb-dvb-stick from astrometa. I read this post and try to reproduce it. I build my own image ARMBIAN 5.27 stable Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 3.4.113-sun8i (linux-sun8i-default.config )and install v4l driver with no errors. Unfortunately it don't work. The system don't recognize the stick (see file orangepi_Astrometa.txt and dmesq_media_build.txt ). Useful for comparison my raspberrypi with the stick (raspberry_Astrometa.txt) . Can anybody help? Ciao nepo

With mainline kernel and its xradio module i cant connect to any open wifi networks. I tried wpa_supplicant network-manager and networking but this device just refuse to connect ap's that doesnt have encryption. This problem not related to performance nor coverage so please not say just crappy sources, dont have datasheet etc. and please try to fix this major problem. Thanks..

In case that somebody need such thing: Armbian legacy stable installed on SD card. Moved to emmc with sudo nand-sata-install. Boot from emmc works good when sd is not plugged. uname -a: Linux orangepiplus2e 3.4.113-sun8i #10 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 23 19:55:00 CET 2017 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux Then I pluged sd while system running, erase SD with: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M count=1000 (be careful at this step, use lsblk to detect actual name for sd) Then I created partition on it and formated it to ext4 fs using GParted. I become sytem which boots from emmc, despite inserted sd card. Also, added it to fstab to …

I have installed the 'watchdog' package (apt-get install watchdog' on an Orange Pi Plus 2E, and it does not seem to be working as I would expect. If I write output to /dev/watchdog the system will reboot, but if I stop the watchdog service (and wd_keepalive) the system does not reboot. I did un-comment the path to /dev/watchdog in the settings file, but have generally not changed anything else. Is there some other required setup needed to allow this to function?

Hi all, I have applied 12 V to the DC input of my Cubietruck (bad thing). So now I want to repair / recover everything possible... Both DC-in and battery input seem to be short-circuited, but I cannot find the exact position. Power via USB-OTG works (successful boot). The fuse directly after the input has almost zero resistance (which is good) and I have checked all visible power-related parts (doc here) with a microscope (nothing looks burned, as far as I can tell all diodes/resistors/... work as they should). When checking the resistance of DC-in to ground it gives me 1,5 kOhm with a multimeter (don't have a second one here, but I gues…

I encountered a strange problem and I do not know what to do: When I am restarting my OPI with inserted USB audio card, then LIRC does not work. When I am restarting my OPI without inserted USB card and this USB card I put only later after a restart, then LIRC works. Can anyone advise how to proceed? I need to insert USB audio card permanently (it's inside the device).

Hi, I am new to Orange Pi, Armbian and this forum. Done lots of Raspberry Pi and other Linux stuff. Can someone tell me if the Orange Pi Zero Plus 2 H3 & H5 boards are supported by armbian? They are available on Aliexpress here(H3) and here(H5). They are not listed on the download page, but are listed in this post. Also, if they are supported, is it better choosing the H3 or H5 variant? Seems to me like the H3 might have better software support, and might be the better choice.

In the spec., it was stated that the ethernet in OPi zero is off by default. If I use its Debian server distribution, will it turn on automatically? If not, what do I need to do to turn it on? Thanks.

Hi, I have a question regarding the new Banana Pi (A20) boot script created in Armbian 5.25. Many months ago I switched my roots from the SDCard to the sata disk using the sata-nand-install script, after that I used to switch between SD and HDD and vice versa, mostly for maintenance operations on the HDD (sometime the system gets corrupted and I have to restore the HDD partition with e2fsck from the SD). Until Armbian 5.20 I used to edit the boot.cmd file pointing to the desired root device, recompile the boot.scr and then the system were loaded from the desired partition. Now with Armbian 5.25 I'm not sure which file I have to edit to …

Hi, I am trying to create some kind of audio streaming server on orange pi zero. I've installed Qt5 and tried to start streaming audio using UDP datagrams. The problem is that sending one datagram takes a lot of time(~50-100ms) so there are interrupts in audio streaming. What is more I found out writing datagram gives me this message in dmesg: Loading kernel module for a network device with CAP_SYS_MODULE (deprecated). Use CAP_NET_ADMIN and alias netdev- instead.

Hi all, I am using NanoPi-Neo Air and my application is just logging binary data to a file. The board is powered by usb from a pc. I can dump and list to see binary data inside the file but after unplug power from usb then power up the board from usb again, I found the binary data is gone or some errors data, unknown data appended. Do you guys have same issued? or any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Hi there, I've received 4 NanoPi Neo (with heatsinks as suggested by @tkaiser) recently. Here is my my first impression and also I've come across some minor issues. I hope It would be useful. I've installed Armbian_5.27.170403_Nanopineo_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.10.3. Also tried dietpi (kernel 3.4) and h3-mainline-ubuntu-core-qte-sd4g-beta-20170228.img (FrendlyArm, kernel 4.10) So far for good. Armbian works like a charm I have been able to install Docker and I've performed some simple tests. Awesome job guys! I've found one issue so far MAC address changes at every reboot. The issue was mentioned in some threads on the …

Hi, I am new to nano-pi air neo. I am trying to get analog audio from the device. I had no success with the four connectors near to the camera connector. But if I connect the speaker to the DOUT of the audio, I get the sound but with lots of noises. How can I play audio in this device ? Am I missing something here ? Thank You.

I have certain problem when using ssh on my Orange Pi zero. When I am connected through on-board wifi module the ssh panel have a lot of lag when I am writting commands. However I am not experiencing the same problem when I am connecting through ethernet. I can't understand if that's a case of bad connection as I have the same behaviour even if I put my pi next to my router. I know that the on-board wifi module is not the best but it seems that its unusable. Anyone has any relative problem? Is there any solution or its just hardware based and I need an external wifi dongle?

Hello, Does the wi-fi module of the Orange Pi Zero consume power when I'm not using wi-fi? If it does, can I disable it? My pi zero will be connected to ethernet 24/7 and I don't want it to consume unnecessary power. Thanks.

Hello guys, I read a lot but did not find the answer I'm trying to Turn ON / Turn OFF my Orange pi lite HDMI output like with my raspberry pi (with the help of /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -o ... etc) But I'm not able to find a similar command to do it. I only found some tips to do it at start-up only My goal is, after some times, turn OFF HDMI output (via python script) to force my monitor to switch into sleep mode. Do you have any ideas ? Thanks in advance Max

I installed Armbian xenial 3.4.112 on an Orange Pi PC in July of 2016. It ran non-stop until sometime in February. I realized it was no longer sending data to the internet. When I checked, the Orange Pi PC was still powered. However, the green+yellow ethernet LEDs were both blinking together at what looked like 2sec intervals. After only a short time of running, the CPU was already 84C. When I originally had put the Orange Pi PC into service, it would remain close to 43C. I connected a monitor and keyboard. It booted and a look at syslog showed the eth0 was looping on `DHCPDISCOVER`. I tried `ifconfig etho down` and `ifconfi…

Have not been able to confirm if it is possible for the Orange Pi Zero to act as a virtual mass storage device. I would like to be able to plug this into a device and have that device treat the Pi Zero as a USB drive, and write to the on board SD as such. I believe this requires USB on the go so that the device can be USB slave. Any input on the topic is appreciated. I know the Raspberry Pi Zero W supports this, but I think i will have better luck with the wireless having an external antenna on the Orange Pi Zero.

Hi, I wrote Armbian_5.25_Cubietruck_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113.img to sd-card and booted my cubietruck from the card. ssh in and user creation followed by reboot (rootfs resize) After that i performed apt get update&upgrade and started nand-sata-install.

Hello, We have our A20 machine with a sdio wifi device Realtek 8723bs which is not included in the current kernel's modules, then when we try to cross-compile them in a PC it fail requiring kernel version 3.19 or later, i think mainline kernel could be a way to go or upgrade 3.4.x to 3.19.x, but some text claim unsupported nand in mainline which is required by the project and don't know the correct way to make it go to 3.19 in sunxi allwinner scenario. What do you think is the best way to make it work better, any clue please? Thank's in advance Daniel

I want to use an ESP-12F to add wireless to my NanoPi Neo, but I don't think the Neo has broken out all the connections I'd need. Hackaday desctibes how to interface a Raspberry Pi B+ to an ESP-12F (https://hackaday.io/project/8678/instructions), but the Neo seems to lack some of the required pins. I like this idea since I've liked the performance and ability of every esp8266 system I've used. Their wifi network is solid, and they're low cost. Is this a lost cause or is it possible? Or perhaps this is a dumb idea? I'm not sure how well it'll perform vs a usb wifi modules, but the idea has captured my imagination.

I would install mate on orange pi pc more starting from the server version. someone tell me step by step how to do. Thank you.

I noticed that the Nano Pi Neo has a pin or 2 labeled 3.3V out. How much current is available from this source? I have a CODEC and a few other things that need 3.3V power. I need to know what the 3.3V output can deliver safely, or if I should just add my own 3.3 regulator for the external circuitry.

cheers, new to this, so far have created xenial core, installed virtualbox, built xenial with 4 cpu, 8gb ram, 120Gb vdk, and successfully installed armbian kernel and OS build tools. Was able to build several OPi kernels, then noticed there was only option for OPi + not OPi+ 2 and it appears to only support 1GB of the 2GB available. Its this a viable option? will it automatically do 2GB on boot or is it specifically limited? Not sure which parameters to change. Also looking for an accurate schematic of the Orange Pi Plue 2 would appreciate it if someone can send me a link. My application is to setup SPI and i2C and from weeks of reading this …

Hi guys, I bought the orange zero and then I realized how poor wifi. I had some wifi modules from old tablets at home, they are rlt8188eu. After I joined the orange, there was another problem. Wifi driver could not be initialized, because I knew that these modules can operate on orange pc out of box, I began to research the problem. Cause I am linux ZERO, it took me longer time, but I finally found soulution. Problem was in fex file for orange zero, wifi_usbc_type = it´s without parameter, after I added some parameter ( "5" from working orange pc fex), wifi work like a charm. I´m not sure if it´s purpose, or bug, so I write you....

Hello, My project for Orange Pi Lite will be used in a car. To make the installation easy for everyone I would like to supply it from car lighter socket. Of course, this solution is not perfect (frequent insert/pull the plug by the user, current decays etc.). I mean problems with switching off without shutdown. I also mean how uSD will stand it. For now, I thing to attach an 18650 cell with booster/charger which will work as a "buffer" to keep current when the lighter socket is off. But I am afraid that it can keep power only for 1-2 hour. Is there a possibility to check the power level of the connected cell and shut down the system when the power is low? P…

Hi, I am a newbie to Armbian so I apologize if this is a stupid question. I am running Armbian legacy. I think I have successfully programmed a GPIO shutdown button for the Orange Pi Zero by cobbling together information from this and the Orange Pi forum. My script goes like this, in file hw_shutdown.py: #!/usr/bin/env python import os import sys import subprocess if not os.getegid() == 0: sys.exit('Script must be run as root') from time import sleep from subprocess import * from pyA20.gpio import gpio from pyA20.gpio import connector from pyA20.gpio import port button_shutdown = port.PA2 #PIN 20 """Init gpio module""" gpio.in…

Hi guys, I have been following this two sources below while trying to build my own pps ntp server with orangepi plus. I have got gpsd and pps work. However, I have ran into the problem that the chrony I got from apt-get doesn't have pps support. It will outputs "Fatal erre : refclock driver PPS is not compiled in". I have tried building chrony from source with timepps.h but that couldn't even run properly without pps source. I am stuck with the problem. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks! 1. 2. https://www.blackmagicboxes.com/?p=581

Hi, since many month I did not used my BPi M2+ that previously worked with the 5.14 image since not working with the new one 5.25 (sha signature checked = good server image of Debian Jessie downloaded with identical signature). I prepared my SD with the 5.25 armbian image (on the previous 5.14 SD, bad idea) and boot it (with USB/TTL cable and saw in Putty) but it display a message telling me that it does not find ethernet (and even if I insert a RJ45 connected to my router and reboot it this give me the same message). After what it display trying to use pxe (many lines tried some solutions) and finally stop with a prompt "=>". …

Hi, I am new with OrangePi plus 2E which I bought after I have great fun with several Raspberrys. In first moment I was very disappointed with software and documentation, than I found Armbian. Well, on all of my boards and computers I run Ubuntu, so I choose Armbian Ubuntu desktop edition. With legacy kernel everything runs good, but I prefer mainline kernel, and there I run into the problem. I have no video output on HDMI. I tried nightly build of Armbian and updated legacy desktop edition. Same result, no video over HDMI. Googling about this gives me lot of confusing results so I decide to ask here. Is video over HDMI on OrangePi …

I just downloaded the most recent mainline image for the NanoPi Neo (Ubuntu_xenial_dev_nightly.7z). It boots and runs fine.

I've been trying lots of stuff, read a lot but could not make it work. What I need is to make a video player. If someone pushes a button a specific video will be played. So simple. The device will be networked and I will add other stuff in time (sensors, Python scripts, IoT frameworks etc). I chose Orange Pi One and Armbian Debian LEGACY (sorry NOT mainline) kernel. I wrote scripts to to automate device setups. All fine. To play videos I installed LXDE and mpv. The video did not work as there is no acceleration. Drivers seem to be broken (05.02.2017 compilation - I read about the broken drivers, but do not have the solution) …

Hello! I'm using Wheezy under kernel 3.4.x on Lime2 with 7" LCD and i added fbcon=rotate:1 in boot.cmd and the console booted in portrait but LXDE is still in landscape. I also added FBDEV_ROTATE_CCW=90 but with no results. I can rotate the screen from the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/XX-fbturbo.conf file but every time i touch the screen the LXDE crashes. Any suggestions please how to rotate the screen in LXDE? Thank you!

Hello, I'm using Armbian Xenial with ethernet on my local network. SSH and PostgreSQL seem to disconnect a lot. This is really frustrating with sshfs when I try to work with files on the Orange Pi Zero as a file server.. I tried setting a keepalive every second and that doesn't help either. I don't see anything in the logs that hints to anything. I have not attempted to use wifi. I did just notice the timezone was wrong, so I'll see tomorrow if that has something to do with it.

Hi, I trying to record transport stream from USB DVB-T card, but I have some problem with dvbstream. Card work well with mumudvb. Currently I'm using Armbian Ubuntu Xenial on H3 (Orange Pi PC), unfortunately dvbstream (installed from repository) don't want to lock fronted to desire frequency, while dvbtune (0.5.ds-1) (installed from the same repository ) work fine. In this case I downloaded dvbtune (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/dvbtune_0.5.ds.orig.tar.gz) from source, but after compile not want to work. Do you have any idea what could be wrong? why dvbtune not work after compilation? Thank You.

I have an Orange Pi Plus 2 that was running Armbian off of its onboard eMMC module, but I think I may have damaged it while working with the GPIO pins as it now will no longer boot from the module. The board will boot and run OK off of an SD card, but I'd like to copy the OS back to the eMMC module if possible. I've tried to rerun the script 'nand-sata-install', but I receive the error 'There are no targets. Please check your drives'. If I list the mmc devices I just get one, which I presume is the SD card: > ls -l /dev/ | grep mmcblk brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 0 Mar 20 16:51 mmcblk0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1…

I am using the latest Armbian version with a legacy kernel on my M2+ board. The Armbian forum has already been a great source of help. Now I am facing a new issue: - for my setup the IPv6 NAT netfilter module is required, which was introduced in Kernel 3.7 So in my understanding I have two options: a) backport the kernel module(s) to the legacy Kernel by customizing the armbian build process switch to the mainline Kernel The mainline kernel for H3 boards seems to lack support for Gigabit ethernet and in general still remains no recommended for potential overheating problems? Thus, I guess I have to get working on the Kernel module backports. Do yo…

Hello everybody, I would like to know what needs to be done to make this work. I simply copied over the sources of the r3p2 mali module into the 3.4.113 Armbian kernel source and the module wos built without error. Then I recompiled libump, libmali and fbturbu. But when I tried to put the gpu to work I got an error message: eglgetdisplay() returned no display. Since there was nothing helpful in the logs I coudn't investigate further where the problem lies. Has anybody had success with the newer mali drivers? Any hints are very welcome...THANKS! Paul

Hello Guys, The main reason I bought my orange pi One is to create custom softwares on it(mostly on Linux distro). I checked google and can't really decide which is the best programming language, which have a nice IDE, able to handle GPIO-s and other periferials like SPI, COM...etc, able to create a fair looking UI. Can someone suggest me some ideas? Programming language does not really matter. Any ideas are welcome Regards, G.

Having invested many, many hours getting the video out to work on my recently purchased Orange Pi Zero kit, I'd like to leave this heads up for the next person having trouble with video out. In my case, none of the advice I could find in this forum or elsewhere seemed to make any difference. If you find yourself in a similar situation, here are some things you should know. The latest Armbian images for the OrangePi Zero enable composite video out by default. It should just work. (Well at least the Ubuntu image -- I never actually verified Debian Jesse worked after I fixed my expansion board.) You should NOT need to fiddle with /etc/modules or .fex files. Altho…

Hi, I'm using the Ubuntu 16.04 image for Orange Pi Zero, and the wifi interface won't seem to accept to be put into Master mode. Is this a hardware limitation? Or do I need to update kernel or driver or something else? Thanks in advance.

I am just getting started using the Orange Pi Zero and installed Xenial 4.10.1. Currently I am using Python and am able to address the GPIO pins (using this project: https://github.com/duxingkei33/orangepi_PC_gpio_pyH3) However, I need to communicate with a serial device (projector) using RS232 on 9600 BAUD. For this, the built-in UART should do the trick (with an additional voltage converter). Does anyone know how I can address this device from Python? Alternatively, is there a way to clock" an GPIO output to 9600 BAUD and manually send the data? Thanks, Ezpl

Hello, I have a custom board with A20 and I like to share the UART7(I20/I21) pins. I mean sometimes used as UART and other times used as output ports. Should I always change the FEX file to use one u other functionality. The perfect way is using both option without restart the system. Thanks!

Hi All, I have attached an ASUS Xonar Essence One at usb-sunxi-ehci-1, high speed : USB Audio to OrangePi PC. when I use alsa to play sound, the system cannot attain the correct sample rate.

Hello, this is not a big problem, but for me makes a board useless I use orange pi to control ralays thru GPIOs it works flawless on Orange PI PC, PC+, One so I decided to buy Orange PI Lite and I discovered that all gpio are set to high for half a second and then back to low, while unit power up or restarts. Just like an internet router It do that even without a SD card, that points this is coded into U-Boot. Any idea how to fix that?
