I am running ubuntu xenial (legacy version) on my orangepi zero 256Mb version and using it as a web server with light torrenting. The SoC temperature reading in armbianmonitor reaches above 80C easily. When i log in via ssh after boot the temperature reads usually 60-65 C and normal operations easily cross 70C. This is my first SBC so I am not sure if this is normal? Can anyone tell me if these temperature readings are notmal or do i need heatsink to cool down my system? Thanks in advance.

I have recently updated to Armbian Focal (Ubuntu 20.04). My Banana Pi M1 is running an apache server + some digital amateur radio stuff. So upload speed is important. My average download and upload speed as measured with speediest-cli is 45Mb/sec and 18Mb/sec respectively (wired connection to modem) With Focal I get these speeds with Buster (Debian 10) the download speed is still 45Mb/sec but the upload speed drops to 3.4 Mb/sec. These results are not one off but consistent. The am64 version of Buster does exactly the same thing.. My question is : can I change this with programming or is it a fixture in the kernel ? Can someone enlighten me please ? Rein

I am a newbie here and newbie in Orange Pi One. Previously I have used Raspberry Pi in my daily projects. I burn Armbian 5.05 to my class 10 SD Card and after install the SD Card to the board. My Orange Pi One is booting properly but after automatic restart, my board doesn't continue to boot but the red LED is ON. I have tried to wait for 10 minutes but nothing work. This is my first booting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RA68P_WZJY .

The hdmi to vga adapter takes electricity from the hdmi connector. Xenial installed on the orange pi one. Thank you.

Hi, I have flashed Armbian_5.35_Orangepilite_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop.img - and it works fine with my Orange Pi Lite v.1.1 But if I flash Armbian_5.38_Orangepilite_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.14.img which is aslo supported, the device does not boot. At least I get no output on HDMI, and no serial console over OTG. So I cannot check if it does not boot at all, or dies somewhere in the middle How can I check why it does not boot?

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've just downloaded the July 12th image with the 3.4.108 kernel from http://www.igorpecovnik.com/2013/12/24/cubietruck-debian-wheezy-sd-card-image/. After booting from SD card i can't seem to reach ssh on this machine. I can ping it though ping times vary between 1 and 220ms. I tried to boot several times but nothing changes. With the 4.x kernel i was able to boot and ssh into. Any idea?

Just for information, I have tested ADS7846 touchscreen on new 4.19.y Bionic Orangepi one. What I did to get it work: 1. Upgrade dtc to version 1.4.7. By default it was dtc version 1.4.5 and I have get errors while trying to do " armbian-add-overlay sun8i-h3-spi-ads7846.dts" 2. There is missing driver in kernel by default, so I have installed ubuntu bionic 18.04.1 LTS on PC. After that use this guide https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ Switch on ADS7846 module, then install new compiled package linux-image-next-sunxi_5.74_armhf.deb on OrangePi-one.

Hi, I've tested Armbian this week-end to replace my Cubian distro, and I failed to get the sound out of my speaker. I went back to Cubian X as sound works with stock image. Anyone could help me with it please ?

Hey there. I used to run an Octoprint server on my Orange Pi Zero H2+ installed over armbian, which got swapped with a raspberry pi for unimportant reasons. I wanted to switch back, but for all of the armbian builds listed here for Orange Pi Zero, I am just getting a green light on the board and some blinking of the orange indicator only from the Ethernet Jack. Is this expected? This is happening with multiple SD-cards an two Orange Pi Zeros. All of the OS images from http://www.orangepi.org/ seem to work just fine, as well as an old "debian_server_for_orangepizero_v0_9_2.img" I found, so I'm going that route for now. But I can't image this is expecte…

These boards are well suited to routing/network traffic control functionality. Currently the kernel has been compiled with Traffic Control stuff disabled, which makes it impossible to perform traffic shaping on stock Armbian kernel. I'm busy recompiling the kernel as a temporary solution, but I will really appreciate it if the kernel build maintainer can please change the traffic control options from DISABLED to MODULE (at least)? I have a bunch of Armbian boards but I'm testing with NanoPi Neo 2 right now. --- I'll let you know the size of the modules once I've finished compiling.

Hi, I'm using NetBIOS names when using ssh to access other CTs on my local network. Most of the CTs and other hosts are running Wheezy. Now I have a CT running Stretch and it's very difficult to access this host using 'ssh <stretch host name>' because it's not responding to the broadcas from the calling host. If I repeat the request (and broadcast for the name) multiple times then sooner or later the Stretch CT will respond in time. The timeout on the host doing the broadcast seems very short. Does anybody know where this timeout is specified and how to change it ? Thanks, Steven

I got an OrangePi Pc, and I see that Mali GPU frequency has been rolled back to 252 Mhz, or at least the kernel is saying so in dmesg. I took a look into the changelog, the frequency has been increased to nominal 600 Mhz in armbian v5.15, but now I installed a fresh 5.20, upgraded to latest packages and I see that kernel initializes the GPU at 252 Mhz. I found no traces of this rollback in the changelog. As I'm currently testing the SBC as a desktop replacement, I'm guessing if the increased gpu frequency could be of any benefit to the interface snappiness.

Hi, anyone used this driver with success on A20 legacy? This is what i get: Seems that it can load ethernet and mass storage without problem but it fails on serial. If I run g_serial alone it works: Any ideas?

I want to understand the feasibility of installing Armbain on a board that is currently Tina Linux. The board has an Allwinner R528 processor and an emmc . The R528 is not a well known Allwinner processor but it is essentially a D1 with two Arm-a7 processors instead of a RISCV processor. It also is a essentially the same processor as a T113-s3 but in a different physical package. I see the mangopi-mq and the nehza have the D1, but I'm not sure it helps. I have a full dts file (3000+ lines) for this board. But what I am failing to get a grasp of is: Given that I that I have a complete dts file, what is the work flow to get Armbian…

After along time I downloaded a new armbian image, after doing apt update/upgrade for the last year or so. I was quite surprised to see that the pcduino3nano is now deprecated, while other A20 boards are still supported. What was the exact reason that the pcduino3nano was dropped from support? If I keep using the deprecated OS, can I fully use apt update/upgrade for all user stuff? What would happen to all kernel and u-boot update packages? Is the latest armbian for the pcduino3nano automatically disabling those updates, or do I need to do something manually? *should* I block kernel & u-boot updates? thanks, Udi

I was wondering if I could have automount feature for every UFD or USB Hard Drives to the /media folder. As i've investigated it, it would only mount if I get to click its icon on the desktop. I'm running bananapi as my headless file/media/print server. I shared the /media folder to the network through samba and was kept wondering why I'm unable to access every flash and hard drive I'm connecting to my bananapi as it does in my Raspberry Pi (when I share its /media folder in samba). Is there anything that I could do instead of adding it to fstab and manually restarting or manually mounting it every time I connect a media to my Banana Pi server? …

I want to access the orangepi by putty on my PC but as long he is not online, connection is not possible. Led's on the ethernet connector ar flashing. What do I wrong ?

Hi guys, In order to increase the CPU frequency on my Orange Pi Zero Plus I need to run the 4.17y kernel: I downloaded the prebuilt image from armbian which only includes the 4.14y kernel.

Hi @Igor you should consider changing imagetool when you ship your image files since the Suse image tool is quite broken on Windows platforms 8 or higher since its often just gives a blank non function interface that crashes upon pressing buttons. Perhaps Rufus would be a better alternative

Guys, purchased shortly my first Bananapi M1. I installed without problems Armbian to a SD Card and now in second step i would like to connect a 1TB Western Digital 2,5" SATA HDD.

I know the A20 isn't really build for OC, but I would still like to do some tests with it running at 1008Mhz. As far as I understand Kernel 4.X doesn't use the fex files anymore, but rely on the dts (dtsi) files. I edited sun7i-a20-bananapi.dts &cpu0 { cpu-supply = <&reg_dcdc2>; operating-points = < /* kHz uV */ 1008000 1425000 960000 1400000 912000 1400000 864000 1350000 720000 1250000 528000 1150000 312000 1100000 144000 1050000 >; }; I made sure the build script doesn't overwrite the edited dts file. But BananaPi still says the max freq is 960 instead of 1008. root@bananapi:/tmp# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0…

I'm using g_ether to connect OrangePiPc+ to network over USB OTG. On legacy kernel, that was giving 140 Mbits/sec IN (download from network to OrangePiPc+) and 170 Mbits/sec OUT. After upgrading to mainline kernel 4.19.62 (or 5.3.9), IN throughput degraded to 93-98 Mbits/sec (while OUT improved reaching up to 210 Mbits/sec in CDC EEM mode). This easily reproducible on both my boards OrangePiPc+ and OrangePiZero with latest Bionic images (clean installations + "modprobe g_ether iProduct="Linux-USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget" iManufacturer="Netchip Technology, Inc." dev_addr=02:81:05:F0:5C:24 host_addr=02:81:05:F0:5C:23 use_eem=0" ).

Hi, now that I have Docker up and running, I am facing new problems. After some time, the Zero stops working. I am connected with ssh, and the console is stuck. The port 22 seems to be still opened for nmap, but I can't open a new ssh session anymore. I was trying to monitor it with armbianmonitor -m, and I saw the processor throttling with the temperature rising. Up to 62°C, it stays at 1200MHz, then it goes down to 960MHz, and I saw it once at 480 around 72°C. As I thought that my problems were linked to the heat, I then used a fan and the temperatures stayed at max around 63°C and the CPU at 1200MHz. But the problem still happens. Af…

Hello community, Kernel 4.3.x should have support for DMA engine on A20 boards, see: http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort#Merged_into_4.3 Does / should this also improve the SATA write performance? After update to kernel 4.3.3 from apt.armbian.com I cannot see any big write Performance increase... thanks for comments... best regards and a happy new year... holsteiner

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

Hi friends, I am using armbian on orangepi lite and it is brilliant! My orange pi zero is on the way. One question - sometimes I want to make wifi AP from my armbian and sometimes I want armbian to be wifi client. Now it connects successfully to my wifi as a client. I am looking for terminal commands to switch between modes (AP vs. client) on the fly. Any ideas how to do it? Ideally I would like to run two commands: - one command to act as wifi AP (with specified wifi name, password, etc.) - second command to act as wifi client (to connect to specific network with password, etc.) Any idea how to do it, please? P.S. LAN port (on orange pi zero) should always…

hello everybody, I am new on the linux world but after some search and work , I managed to start my Orange Pi plus 2E with a stretch image armbian 5.38 and everything is working well. Recently after successfully installed several domotic solution like Jeedom and Zwave, I start to work on the integration of a 3G card, but I need to use some CLI to change parameters and it is when I discovered that I completely forgot Root password and the other SU abled user account. Since everything is running from the eMMC, i cannot access to any fils in the OS as explain in some other discussion with card using SD card. Is there a way to recover…

Hi, trying to install a char driver without any driver framework. The only thing I can not install is getting the Interrupt through to the interrupt servce routine err = request_irq(irq, handler, // IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING, IRQF_TRIGGER_HIGH, "can4linux", &can_minors[minor]); irq is the Interrupt number of the CAN controller, it is fixed in the A20 to 58. I do get no error messages, but the isr is not called. What I am missing? Greetings Heinz By the way, it worked an Bananian 3.x

Just saw this mentioned on Orange Pi forum and had not heard of it, from name nanopi m1 I assumed it was a version of Banana Pi but on looking this and other boards are made by Friendlyarm. Wonder if armbian will get ported over ? Shame these companies don't cover armbians cost to do so . http://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=69&product_id=109 Also other SOC boards they make, all good for customer and more Single board computer competition. http://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=69

Good morning, I am designing a board to use a NanoPi Neo Core. By default it comes without Wifi or BlueTooth. I had thought about putting the AP6212 chip on it. Can someone tell me if it is compatible with Armbian in its latest versions? Thank you and best regards!

Hello I am a Armbian user in the past 3 or 4 years on a Cubietruck running a headless server in my home. Great machine!!!

My Armbian version now is stable stretch, and tvheadend server is 4.2. I think this is a kernel problem but i don´t no how to fix. It is possible to downgrade to the 3.4 stable kernel on stretch ?

I'm currently running ARMBIAN Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 4.9.7-sunxi on my CT.

I'm having trouble getting the RaZberry zwave extension board working in Armbian 5.31 with the mainline kernel. Previously on Bananian I just symlinked ttyS2 to ttyUSB99 and I was able to use the RaZberry with OpenZwave. But now, I have no idea how to get it working. I guess it has got something to do with overlays for the kernel but I haven't been able to find out exactly sifting thru the internet... Help very much appreciated.

Morning all, First post here - just got my oPi PC 1.2 with the AllWinner HW chip set up yesterday... Running Jessie headless 5.10, updated to latest (afair, 5.112?). Used the Wget command to try and upgrade the kernal, the blue dos-like UI came up, it checked a few things, then fell down to command prompt, with "Error - unsupported HW". Any thoughts or fixes for this? THX

I have been trying to get USB OTG to work for the past few days, but have not succeeded. I have enabled all of the appropriate kernel settings according to this. I modprobed sunxi and g_ether, but my laptop did not detect the Orange Pi (no change in lsusb). My laptop runs Arch Linux, if that matters (the image was built on a Xenial VM though). There is no dmesg output about this, so I do not know what I did wrong. The reason I need the dev kernel is because I am using docker.

I flashed the Armbian 5.35 4.13.16 image and at boot time I sometimes got faults and the OS doesnt boot. The clean install also produced sometimes the error or warning but I started to customize the system with enabling overlays and now its cant boot. I restored the initial state of the uEnv through my computer but the bug is still running. I copied the messages to pastebin: http://pastebin.com/2NUGVnqt I dont know where can I start the debugging and how to find what is wrong. I have C skills but I never debug the kernel so its a good time to start, but first it is a serious bug because the system is useless.

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.

Then I "play" 44100 Hz via alsa, by "cat /dev/urandom | aplay -D hw:2,0 -f S16_LE -c2 -r44100". Here is the result It plays at 48000Hz. If I play at 44100 Hz again it will be correct.

I recently got an Orange Pi Zero 3W, and I noticed that the official Ubuntu image is still based on the sunxi BSP stack, using the sun60iw2-6.6.98 kernel, while the bootloader is also using an older version of U-Boot. Right now, I’m wondering whether it would be feasible to use AI agents to help compile an Armbian image for the Orange Pi Zero 3W with a mainline kernel, while still keeping the old vendor U-Boot for compatibility. Has anyone here experimented with a similar approach or have any good suggestions or ideas? I also really hope the official team can eventually provide a proper Armbian image for the Orange Pi Zero 3W, because I’ve run into quite a few i…

I'm trying to use the kernel-driver (1) for a DHT11 (or DHT22) humidity sensor with my NanoPi NEO. I'm already got this sensors working with some little C example-programs in userspace. I figured out that I need to apply a Device Tree overlay because the driver (dht11.c) needs to know the gpio-pin where the sensor is connected to. So - I don't know how to write such a file from scratch - I customised a existing overlay file - "sun8i-h3-pps-gpio.dts" (2) - only the lines "pins" (PG6) & "compatible with" (dht11) & "gpios" (&pio 6 6 1) /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "allwinner,sun8i-h3"; fragment@0 { …

Hello, Thank you for your work and the images you provide. I am making some test with A20-OLinuXino-Lime and A20-OLinuXino-Lime2 with the purpose to make debian bootable from a NAND. I have three questions: 1. what is the procedure to customize and compile a new kernel (which source repos do you use, on which defconfig is based your work) ? This is to remove/add some features according to my needs 2. when you say "NAND is not supported yet." on the download page, do you mean Debian won't boot at all if installed on NAND ? Is it only because of kernel configuration or anything else ? And when do you think NAND support should be available ? 3. what is …

Hi, My applications were running from eMMC when I used Kernel 3.4.113 and Orange Pi PC Plus purchased 6 months back. But on my last week purchase, armbian-config of 3.4.113 does not detect eMMC of Orange Pi PC Plus. I am told by Xunlong to use the latest kernel. This will result in huge development efforts. Are there any patches that can be applied to 3.4.113 to use my same application on latest PCB? Thanks

Which is the correct overlay to specify for libcamera support for the Arducam IMX219? I am assuming this would go into /boot/armbianEnv.txt ?
