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." (from serial console), green led solid on and ethernet port leds both solid on, no output on HDMI. Then I found this thread and tried to set the clock, but boot fails the same.

Hi, Creating a build for OPiPCPlus, mainline/dev/4.11, xenial,desktop. Need to enable the UDA1380 device in my local kernel build, yet I see some ..obstacles.. Tried initially to do a KERNEL_CONFIGURE="yes" in compile.sh but after started the compile and reached the point of menuconfig the UDA1380 option did not got presented (might be because there is no tristate string in mainline sound/soc/codecs/Kconfig..) so I reverted it back to normal. After the first attempt, I tried by modifying the lib/config/kernel/linux-sun8i-dev.config and added "CONFIG_SND_SOC_UDA1380=m", tried the compile again and waited to finish, yet at the end, although the ot…

Hi, I have an Oracle PI PC+ which will not boot without the hdmi connected. If you disconnect the hdmi once the board has booted it crashes or at least stops responding to ping/ssh over the ethernet. I've used pretty much all the builds I can find on armbian.com including the nightly builds with don't show a display at all but still fail without the hdmi. I've also tried booting from SD card and the emmc almong will messing with the /boot config files such as setting the console to serial and can't see anything interesting in the messages file. It shouldn't be a power issue as I'm using an Anker 2.4a PSU but I've tried other PSUs as well wit…

Hello, I try to setup my Orange Pi Lite with a thermal printer (http://www.ebay.de/itm/122418910118?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT). With my Arduino the printer works perfect, so it is actually ok. I just can't figure out how to use the ttl connection. I installed pyA20 and try to implement a kind of SoftwareSerial and it didn't worked really well: #!/usr/bin/env python """Basic blinking led example.

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

hi, as of this morning, i tried updating my NanoPi Neo build (kernel=dev, os=ubuntu xenial, type=no graphics/server). Has been building fine for months.

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

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…

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…

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? …

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.

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.

Hopefuly somebody can give me the solution. Thanks!

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?

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 "…

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.

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…

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…

Hey, after making sure that all packages are current (armbianmobitor upload available at http://sprunge.us/Migh)I still have the problem currently that my three cubietruicks freeze after working 1-3 days. Mostly they are still ping-able, but no "heartbeat led blinking" happens anymore and SSH connect also not possible. The logs simply say nothing. Is there anything knows with uboot 5.23 in case ob unstability? The last uboot I remember that was quite stable was 5.20 ... Can I simply downgrade to that using sudo apt-get install linux-u-boot-cubietruck-next=5.20 or such? Thanks for an advice... Ingo Fischer

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.

OrangePi Zero (512 MB) Power from 5V 2A supply, connection via Ethernet. Armbian_5.25_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113 I am not strong on CLI so I have installed "lubuntu-desktop" and "gufw" and set them up. I also have NoMachine's Remote Desktop server installed, to share the Zero's virtual screen with my LAN. The project is to assess the Zero's ability to run a low volume mail server. So I have used the iRedMail script to install and set up the components of the mail server. It seems to be working - I have received the standard opening 4 emails OK. The problem lies with connecting to the Zero to find out what it's doing. …

Not sure if my keyboard is working in DESKTOP. Do I need to to install it? Though it is working in command prompt and retro. If not, how do I use it without a mouse? in Windows, you could tab/alt/spacebar/enter and etc but none of this works. Keyboard works in command prompt

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, I am trying to pair a Bluetooth speaker with my Banana Pi M2+ (in command line because I can not connect it to a display and/or keyboard. I use it as a remote machine I connect through SSH). It is the first time I do this in command line then I need help to accomplish it successfully. Here is my situation : 1) I saw that the only two available command line for Bluetooth on Armbian are bluetoothctl and bluetoothd 2) I saw in the file /etc/default/bluetooth that the bluetooth will automatically start at boot through the variable "BLUETOOTH_ENABLED=1" 3) I controlled the Bluetooth is well started by using the command line "syst…

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…

Hi, I a couple of days ago, I picked up the Mainline 4.9.7 Jessie image. It ran flawlessly untill last night when I installed samba/minidlna and mounted my hdds (3 usb hdds on a powered USB3 hub and 1 sata 3.5in hdd). 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. Usually I log on with ssh and keep this headless, but I remembered that I had the tv connected to the hdmi. I attached a pic (sorry for the quality) of the error message. It seems som…

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.

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…

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 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, 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!

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?

First i have to say - if i knew what i am gonna go through, i would never buy this troubled hardware. So don't buy it too. But if you are already strayed like me, i decided to share my modifications, to make this inconsiderate piece of hardware useful. With this mods the device finally work as i need it to and i am fully happy with hardware part. Not so happy with software though, but that's another story. The main reason for me, to buy this router, except pc like capabilities, was SATA+SATA power connector. I used my old router with usb HDD, so it sounded good to have it in box and on native sata interface. Silly me, who would thought this will be the most troubled …

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 …

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.

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…

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.
