Hi all, I'm trying to get some sensors working with latest Armbian on a NanoPi Neo ... 1st thing is that there are a bunch of modules loaded where I have no hardware for, f.e. pcf8591 and bmp085: root@nanopineo:~# uname -a Linux nanopineo 3.4.113-sun8i #28 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 2 02:01:28 CET 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux root@nanopineo:~# lsmod Module Size Used by ir_lirc_codec 3650 0 lirc_dev 7834 1 ir_lirc_codec ir_mce_kbd_decoder 2885 0 ir_sanyo_decoder 1480 0 ir_sony_decoder 1422 0 ir_jvc_decoder 1452 0 ir_rc6_decoder 1941 0 ir_rc5_decoder 1412 0 ir_nec_decoder 1556 …

Hello everyone, First of all, I'm sorry for my English. I'll do my best. Currently armbian is installed in the mmc (although I tried the same test with a sd memory). Now, with lscpu I can see that only cpu0 is enabled; 1-3 are off. When I try: sudo echo '1' | Sudo tee / sys / devices / system / cpu / cpu1 / online to activate cpu1, shell replies with: online: Permission denied I'm looking for options on root permissions or sysfs mount options; For now, I can not find a solution. Thanks in advance for your help.

I realize there have been a few topics on this, but it seems to me that this was considered fixed. When using 5.23 with a 4.8 kernel, the MAC address was stable. After upgrading to 5.25, the MAC address was still the same as before. However after an outage, the two boards running 5.25 came up with a new MAC address (two boards still running 5.23 came up with the same MAC address). Then the MAC address seems to change every boot. The problem is that the FiOS router (an ActionTec) I have remembers both the machine name and the MAC address (it nicely creates a DNS entry). If the same name appears with a different MAC address, it ignores the name from DHCP and cre…

Hi everyone!! Any chance to know the estimated schedule for having Gb ethernet working in mainline kernel 4.x for this board? Greetings!!

Hi there, Recently you helped me to setup a WiFI AP on Armbian and a bananapim2p board: https://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/2395-access-point-mode-with-ap6212-on-armbian-521/ The current problem I am facing: the dhd module on armbian 5.25 does not on my bananapim2p boards. To be precise: I have one bananapi m2p where the dhd module loads perfectly on armbian 5.25, I created an image of this board's emmc and flashed the emmc of two different m2p boards. The dhd config file looks like: cat /etc/modprobe.d$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/dhd.conf options dhd op_mode=2 firmware_path=/lib/firmware/ap6212/fw_bcm43438a0_apsta.bin With the modprobe configuration the m2p board…

I received NanoPi NEO and NEO Air boards along with the NanoHat PCM5102a that FriendlyArm is selling: http://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=169 It's a good quality audio stereo out addon board compatible with NEO and NEO Air. I got it working with Armbian on NEO Air! I adapted commits from FA's repo to match Armbian's tree and get that DAC working, (original commits here: https://github.com/friendlyarm/h3_lichee/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=pcm5102a+&type=Commits).

Hello. I updated my system to 5.25 version, and ralink usb wifi stopped working. As i can see, there is no drivers (mt7601Usta), but drivers exists at system. I tried to download drivers and complied it, but it didn't help me. Does anybody use wifi ralink dongles on orange pi zero 5.25 (3.4.113 debian) ?

Hi. I'm using CubieTruck and Armbian mainline up to dated version. The CT is a headless server, so I don't connect any cable to it. However, one day the ssh server in CT did not work, I tried to connect CT to a monitor using HDMI cable. Even though I connect a cable, I could not see anything, and the monitor said 'No signal'. (Well, if the hdmi cable was connected, and CT is booted with it, the output is ok with hdmi signal.) If I connect with a vga cable, there is no problem. Here's what I want. I want to see the screen when I connect CT with a hdmi cable, even if the cable has not been connected. (I hope you understand what I mean..) I followed thi…

Hi all, I'm trying to put my orange pi zero to talk with a CAN BUS via mcp2515 chip. The chip is SPI controlled. The actual image does not have support for SocketCAN enabled, so I'm compiling the kernel with SocketCan following the kernel configuration shown here https://developer.ridgerun.com/wiki/index.php/How_to_configure_and_use_CAN_bus I'm using the cross-compiler tool from the armian website. After the image is burned to the sdcard and the orange pi zero is booted, I can see the image has can support enabled, but when I load the mcp251x driver it does nothing. I'm sure I'm missing some detail on spi side in order to have the mcp driver pointing to th…

Hi, I have probably trivial question related to GPIO on Orange Pi Zero. So - I have a switch there connected ot 3.3V and then to GPIO (pin 12 on Zero). What I want to do is just to read GPIO state. When button pressed it goes to high state - normally. On RaspberryPi and Odroid C1 that works fine just using basic code with wiringpi2 or eventually wiringpi. So I tried the same on Zero compiling wiring for H3/H2. My code is basic in Python: import time import wiringpi import pyA20 as GPIO cykl = 1 wiringpi.wiringPiSetupGpio #or wiringPiSetup() wiringpi.pinMode(1,0) while cykl == 1 : do_call = wiringpi.digitalRead(1) if do_call: print 'pressed' time.s…

I have installed armbian (4.9.7-sunxi) on my Lamobo R1 but i have a problem: It's possible to use the module ap6210 (like in bananian) for setting wlan0 acting in access point mode ? I don't find the way to do it using rtl8192cu Sorry for my bad english and thank you in advance Luca

Had some free time to toy around with Orange Pi Zero Used a image "Armbian_5.26_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.10.0.img" build with 'compile.sh BRANCH=dev BOARD=orangepizero KERNEL_ONLY=no PROGRESS_DISPLAY=plain RELEASE=xenial BUILD_DESKTOP=no' - which should not do anything special ? 1) First steps - run upgrades and normal tweaking (changed hostname, disabled ipv6, changed ntp, changed time-zone, generated correct locale) 2) Ensure that WLAN0 is working as client - using 'nmtui' created a new connection to my desktop WLAN router - disabled auto connect from eth0 - reboot with serial connection - run example speedtest-cli to see that the driver do wo…

hey guys, led folder is missing from /sys/class/ and even in /sys/class/gpio_sw/ led is included in fex file. can anyone tell how does linux load configuration from fex to orange pi ?

Howdy, I set up a new OrangePi Zero with the Legacy 3.4.113 Ubuntu Xenial. I was able to get wifi working however when I try to do a sudo-apt get update or upgrade it freezes and crashes. I am using a 32gb Samsung Evo. Cpu temp is hovering around 57 C with no load. Any tips besides reinstalling the image?

Hello, greetings from Bulgaria and thanks for the OS. We use Orange Pi Lite and something may be is problem. Full boot time is around 1 min and 15 sec, how can we degree this time because it's so slow? When we was with 5.23 distro it was around 45 sec with same SD card and power supply.

Hi all, I'm trying to use a BENQ FP767 monitor with a Cubieboard2 using Legacy Server Jessie 5.25 image. The system is composed: Cubieboard -> HDMI to VGA converter -> Monitor.

What is the max current that the Orange Pi Plus (or other boards) can output for USB devices? Assume there is a high quality 3A power supply. For example, on Raspberry Pi it is documented here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/help/faqs/#powerReqs Note that the output amount is configurable on RPi (you must manually enable 1.2A output) - is there anything similar for OPi? Here is what needs to be changed in the boot config on an Rpi to change the power from 6mA to 1.2A: http://elinux.org/RPiconfig#USB_Power Thank you!

Hi, Orange PI Lite Armbian 5.25 (latest download available at the time of this post) ARMBIAN 5.25 stable Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS 3.4.113-sun8i I would like to have the Pi boot without the desktop environment, and either start it manually over SSH. I found a tutorial that said to edit /etc/default/grub and change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text" but that file does not apply, so I'm not sure how to impliment this for armbian. I don't want to remove the desktop environment completely, but rather have it bootup to command line only, and if I need the desktop environment log into via SSH and either re-edit "a file" and…

Hello everyone I just bought an orange pi zero (512mb) and installed ubuntu xenial ... I was able to connect to my wifi AP using nmtui, and now I am trying to "share" the internet with any device that is connected in eth0 ... I followed many tutorials and read several threads, but without success. My settings are defaults, I installed ubuntu xenial, just gave apt-get update and upgrade I would be grateful if anyone could help me ... thank you.

Good morning, first of all sorry for my English, I'm not native and I use a translator. I'm working on a project with the orange pi plus 2e and I need to protect the internal memory emmc, I installed in emmc "ARMBIAN 5.25 stable Debian GNU / Linux 8 (jessie) 3.4.113-sun8i" and I ask myself the following: How can I protect the internal memory so that it is not accessible by inserting an SD card and mounting the emmc partition? That is, I give my client the orange pi configured and no sd card inserted, starts with emmc, but if someone inserts an sd card with any image for this card can mount the internal partition and access the contents. I've looked at encryp…

I am running the desktop Ubuntu Xenial legacy image from https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-plus/. My goal is to setup the system for gaming, so I am looking to get the accelerated GPU performance. A couple questions: 1. Does this image run with an accelerated driver enabled by default? When loading applications that use GL, I see a log about not being able to load the mali driver. 2. If not, where can I get the driver and how can it be enabled? I know that distributions like RetrOrangePi include this by default, but I want to understand what they are loading so I can setup the system on my own. Thank you!

I've had success with Armbian runing on Orange Pi One and pcDuino2. I'm using the legacy kernels on these boards. Today I've got a pcDuino3B - similar to pcDuino3 except it has GB ethernet from the pcDuino3 nano. I tried legacy kernels for both the 3 and the 3 nano. I see high cpu load ~35% from one of the kworker processes. Then I tried the mainline kernels from the 3 and the 3 nano. No cpu load problems but the GbE does not appear to be configured in the 3 image. 3 nano works on both ethernet and wifi so I'm wondering whether to stick with this one and see if there are any other differences. I don't have a build environment set up and no experience with kernel debug…

Hello, today I try to recompile armbian and produce some image which can be fited into nor flash. I would like to fit uboot, dtb and kernel into Winbond W25Q128FVSSIG and rootfs into sdcard. So I found some instruction in which I need to modify first kernel and dts (ref. http://linux-sunxi.org/Xunlong_Orange_Pi_Zerochapter SPI NOR flash).

Hi, I have a project to do and this consists of: Arduino board which work as frequency counter and OrangePi PC which will be some kind of server (mysql, python). The idea is to use UART port to communicate (send / recevie) datas from arduino to OrangePi using C, Java or python.. Here is my schema using LLC (converter between arduino and orangePC) (hope this will work ) Is there some example in C, python or java on how to use GPIO UART pin 8/10 on orangepi as serial port? For now I have installed library from: https://github.com/zhaolei/WiringOP and second for python from: https://github.com/duxingkei33/orangepi_PC_gpio_pyH3

Hi! I look for this topic in every place at the internet but all of the topics are not related with my problem. I have a custom board based on the Lime2-emmc.

Hi, I'm fairly new to SBCs and Linux and try to get RS485 working on a NanoPi NEO running Armbian (Legacy 3.4.113). I build a custom shield for the NanoPi Neo with a MAX3485 taht is connected to the UART2 (TX,RX,RTS) but so far only transmission works. This is because the RTS pin which I planned to use for toggling the direction pins is always high. I tried to use ioctrl to have it been toggled automatically, but had no success so far. I'm tried to figure out whats the problem and I believe that the configuration of the UART2 does not include the RTS signal: cat /proc/tty/driver/uart |head -8 serinfo:1.0 driver revision: 0: uart:SUNXI mmio:0x01C28000 irq:…

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.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone came across the board layout files. If eagle cad files were available that would be great! I'm assuming that they dont exist.. Or has someone designed a hat or shield for the OPi0? I want to design one and was hoping someone else beat me to it. If not i'll just have to measure it out and make it. I dont want to reinvent the wheel so that would be cool Thanks

Hi all, I have prepared a c++ app on a VM Ubuntu desktop and need to transfer it and test it on Cubietruck Cubieboard3. Apart from the default code I also link my c++ app to extrenal shared libraries , like poco and boost. Since I'm quite new on embedded systems and boards especially, if I choose to boot the Ubuntu desktop version armbian is offering, do I have to build these external libraries from scratch? Thanks in advance

Hello everyone, I need use gpio pins in my Orange Pi Zero. I found the pyA20 library: orangepi_PC_gpio_pyH3: https://github.com/duxingkei33/orangepi_PC_gpio_pyH3...

Hello, Recently I bought my first orange pi one and I downloaded the xenial desktop specifically so that I could have an xserver preinstalled to what I wanted to transform into an access point. I had realized that all realtek wifi dongles would cause a kernel crash once you try to connect to an access point with them. I had followed instructions to rebuild the orange pi with the dev packages that are found on its download page, and it worked the first time, allowing me to continue with my work. Long story short I ended up re-imaging the sd card and now I can't get the dev version to work again. It won't boot once I install the packages. I am wondering if somet…

Hi, I have bought Orange Pi Zero and installed Armbian Ubuntu version. Device (and OS!) works fantastic. However, I have a problem, because DNS resolving does not work until I manually edit /etc/resolv.conf file and enter: nameserver <ip_of_my_router> The problem is, I am using my Zero device in different networks, so I need to reconfigure it every time I connect it to other network. Is there any solution for this? In fact, it is quite weird, I have tried several things (when DNS resolving was not working), for instance: dig @8.8.8.8 www.slo-tech.com any and got only: ; <<>> DiG 9.10.3-P4-Ubuntu <<>> @8.8.8.8 www.sl…

I'm running into some trouble with connecting some I2C devices to my OrangePi Zero. I need to reduce the I2C clock speed set by the OrangePi master. Can anyone direct me on how to do this?

I would like to remove wifi from my Zero... dont need it. The device will not be used network connected. It will serve as an OTG usb dongle only. How to remove or reinstall all wifi related components? It would be also great how to enable / disable ethernet connection from command line... is it just nmcli network off / nmcli network on or is there a more efficient way to do it?

I remember there where a problem before, shutdown leads to reboot. But now it's the opposite - reboot leads to shutdown. Both gui button or: sudo reboot reboot sudo shutdown -r now sudo init 6 from terminal, or ssh, behave the same. This is on Armbian_5.25_Orangepipc_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop / Armbian_5.25_Orangepione_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113, from download section and self built.

Hi, Trying to setup audio mux on orange pi boards, for now trying to stick on orange pi ZERO & ONE ( both of them ). By mux, meaning will try to setup some peers which can play locally or stream sources they have. Let's say all peers have - x2 line in - x1 mic - x1 line out Want to dynamically connect any source to any output on any peer. For example after choosing, you can able to play line in of peer 1 on peer 1 output OR peer1 line in on peer 2 output And I think CD quality is more than enough. Trying to find any tools that will help to make this. Two solution points needed: - hardware: ?? as far as I can find, there is "line…

when i triaing change monitor in NANO PI M1 from HDMI to DVI ( H3disp 1080p ), then i cannot start system in a DVI monitor. After changed HDMI monitor is also blocked. Then you have to delete into another computer in sd card your scirpt bin file and rename script.bin.back to script.bin to return to HDMI monitor. DVI does not work at all . maybe it is producer error not software.

Hi everyone, I have an orange pi pc+ (also a orange pi one) and i'm trying to use one of them as a wifi-wifi router. I've been able to do it work several times, with different wifi dongles, armbian versions (both debian and ubuntu legacy and mainline) but I always get low wifi speed in the AP interface. The problem is that the AP network through the orange pi always gives me around 30-10% of the full internet connection. That is, if my connection gives me 1.5mb/s, the client interface at orange pi gives around 1.5mb/s but at the AP interface is only 200-500 kb/s. I'm going to show here the last configuration I've tried. I would like to achieve a "decent" wifi…

Hello all, I'm going to preface by saying that I am not experienced with Pi, Pi clones, or linux, but I know how to google stuff until my fingers bleed and can navigate around a terminal window well enough. I have an Orange Pi Lite, which is running OctoPrint primarily, but does use a few other uses. I am using a prepared Armbian image file.

I would like to remove "everything" from the installation, which I don’t need, with the goal to minimize the footprint. I installed tasksel and its show a lot of packages on disk... so my question is what can be removed to keep a basic ubuntu server without a desktop interface and with some most used functions and files. I tried to remove some of them, like… ubuntustudio-videoubuntustudio-photography ubuntustudio-graphics mail-server ubuntu-gnome-desktop ... I can imagine to remove all CD installation and images as well... …but my problem is that if I for example remove “ubuntu-gnome-desktopâ€, the OPI Zero is not answering on ssh request any more. So, for me…

Thank you for reading this: Mission:upgrade a remote cubietruck without bricking it over ssh from WAN. QuestionIs there some kind of tutorial on how to upgrade from 14.04 LTS to 16.04 LTS? I didn't find it yet. By the way the desktop version is quite stable. Great job! Question2What I am looking for though is, how do I remove the x-server? I thought I could use the raspberry pi teamviewer version, but that didn't work out due to some protocol problem. Therefor I could use all the RAM for docker/apache/mariadb Thank you! With kind regards Hans

Hello everybody! How can I create access point with nmtui ? I spent some time playing with nmtui, and finally my nanopi got address something like 10.42.0.1. But it doesn't look normal, I can't create default gateway like 192.168.0.1 So, I couldn't see my hotspot from another device( android phone or other pc ) Maybe somebody resolved this problem?

Hello everyone, I have an Orange Pi Lite and I have a problem when I try to shut down the system, I receive stack errors. I've recorded a video to see if it detects what the problem is, I'm new to armbian and linux in general. Except for a bug that occurs in the partition several times (on two different microsd cards), I do not know what the problem might be, I read that it could be a kernel bug, but I'm not sure. I put the video link to see if anyone can help me, it is slowed down so it can be read. If I do not try to turn it off, everything works fine, but when I try to turn it off, it gives the errors and restarts as seen in the video. ​Thanks in advance. …

With every upgrade I struggle with a "changed to default" login welcome message and have to do my modifications again. Therefore I would like to explain my changes and hope you can integrate them in the default version...: Your welcome message prints the $BOARD_NAME as ASCII art. Probably you have dozens of boards and can distinguish them in this way. So after login-in you directly see which board it is. I have only one type of "boards" (Cubietruck) and distinguish them by their hostname. So I have to replace "$BOARD_NAME" with "$(hostname -s)" in /etc/update-motd.d/10-header to identify my boards. What do you think about a change in that direction?

Hey Guys, IM finally trying to make use of my OPi0 and Im planning on creating a daughterboard/hat/shield similar to the expansion board they sell, but with only the bits i need. One thing i'm wondering is if its possible to feed the power (5v) via the pins on the expansion board and not using the OTG input. Im trying to keep it as clean as possible and dont want to have the OTG connection for power. Is the regulator only on the OTG? Last I checked, my power supply gives out a steady 5.3v feed @5amps (driving some power hungry pixels). In regards to sound. I wanted to use an LMA386 amp on my custom daughter board to boost the output for a 4 ohm speaker i'…

Hello all, i can't see Banana Pi M1 on the available downloads on Armbian site where can i find it? if that exists of couse. Thanks

Hello, I am experimenting with Orange Pi Zero and so I set different resolution with h3disp. Now TV connection via pin 9 is not working anymore. Any idea please how to reset to default setting? I tried many settings with SSH but it did not reenable my pin 9. Help is much appreciated.

Hello all, I'm working on a project where I need at least 460800 baud on a UART on the NanoPi Neo Air. Works great at lower baud rates but can't seem to get it much faster than 115200. Any thoughts on clock adjustment or CPU speed? I'm using Armbian 5.24 with the 3.X kernel

Hello, I am using Armbian nightly legacy Jessie 3.4.113 build and it seems Mali drivers are included. Please, How should I set values in boot.cmd and boot.scr to mali HW acceleration work properly? I checked this site http://linux-sunxi.org/KernelArgumentsand tried to place something like "sunxi_ve_mem_reserve=64 cma=96 sunxi_g2d_mem_reserve=64 sunxi_fb_mem_reserve=32" to this file on setenv line but armbian fails to boot. I would like to use HW acceleration in VLC. Thank you.

Hi, No real problem, just a question. I'm using latest Armbian Jessie 5.25 with my good old Banana Pi. root@marvin:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies 144000 312000 528000 720000 864000 912000 960000 root@marvin:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq 480000 root@marvin:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 960000 Please notice that 480MHz (the min freq) is not in the available frequencies. So that gives the following output with cpufreq-info : root@marvin:~# cpufreq-info cpufrequtils 008: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2009 Report errors and bugs to cpufreq@vger.kerne…

Like whaaaaaa... Okay, so long and frustrating story short, I have been having inexplicable stability issues on my Banana Pro. I have blamed the SD card, the power supply, the micro USB cable, but none of those leads seemed to actually lead anywhere. I connected up a Fluke multimeter to the SATA power output, set to peak min mode, to see if I get any undervolting... Nope, no problem there. I ran stress tests on my sd card on my computer - it was PERFECT. I was completely stumped... Until, after getting an Anker charging cable, and having a really good run with the new Armbian release - the system had been working for an hour without glitches, apt-get worked, I hav…

I have problem with transmission-deamon on my CubieA20. It not starting listening on boot. Only after service restart. Met same problem on Raspberry-3 but it cured by enabling "boot to wait until a network connection is established" option. I checked the raspi-config and taken same measures on my A20 ("ExecStart=/sbin/dhcpcd -q -w" etc). Not succeeded! Anyone have alternate methods? There's some more applications that not starting on boot if connection not active, Blynk-client for ex. PS: I use legacy kernel on 5.25 Armbian. UPD: Problem resolved by editing /etc/network/interfaces.

So I have a question... I'd like to manage Li-Ion battery operation on SBCs using the AXP209 power management chip (especially the Banana Pro, as that's what I have...) I soldered a connector to the battery terminals on my BPro for portable operation, and it would be nice to have some kind of solution to raise an alert at low battery charge (like via the onboard LEDs), and automatically call system shutdown at a certain level. Googling has shown that the AXP209 has an i2c interface for sensors, and there are a few scripts for reading battery status here: http://hardware-libre.fr/2014/11/banana-pi-axp209-battery-power-monitoring/ My current plan is to pro…

Hi, I used to run a RPi3 as a VPN and DNS-Server (PiHole) and it worked like a charm. Since the RPI3 is a bit oversized for this work I bought a NanoPi Neo 512MB and installed armbian Ubuntu 4.9.x, but I have some issues with it: - eth0 is only connected by 100/half duplex. I can set it manually to full duplex with autoneg off, but after a few secondes it falls back to 10(!) half duplex. with autoneg on it comes back to 100 half duplex (the amber led is off; cable and switch are ok) - the MAC-Adress is changing every reboot. I have to fix it manually - I can set up Pihole to use the Nanopi as a DNS-Server and it works well in the LAN, until I connect over openVP…

I have no need at all for the built in wireless on an Orange Pi Zero board. Is there a way I can disable it entirely to save power? Through the DT or some other means? Thanks!

Hello ! I have a pcduino 3 with 4gb nand memory. I tried to install armbian server 5.25 with Kernel Legacy 3.4.113. The SDcard boot works well but when i try to boot from nand just after nand-sata-install, nothing happens. I tried to install LXDE 14 nand from official pcduino repositories and boot works so the memrory is not corrupted. Thanks in advance ! Guillaume UPDATE : I found this solution to my problem. Thanks to walkin-corpse who had the same bug in the meantime. https://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/3481-cubieboard-a20-2012-version-does-not-boot-with-armbian-525/?p=25060

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?

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 …

Hi, I've tested more than 10 pcs of Lime2 rev. G and those that I received from Olimex in last supply (Jan 2017) has strange behavior, all of them. It won't boot if HDMI connector is plugged in (tested with two different screens). There is only simple message in console repeated crazy fast "rb int error!".

Hi there, Armbian with 3.4.x Kernel has been running fine on my CubieTruck until upgrading to 5.25. Armbian is installed on NAND (using nand-sata-install), and there is also a SDcard and a harddrive connected for data storage. Some days ago the upgrade to Armbian 5.25 appeared and I did a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. It took a long time and threw some warnings and errors - which I probably should have captured. I recall something regarding "cannot link image" or so... The whole upgrade finished completely at the end. Then the reboot... Now the the CubieTruck is not booting anymore. The error message is: U-Boot 2017.1-armbian ... ... Error: no valid bm…

Hello, My Orange Pi Zero was working during a few days. However after a few days it stopped working. I tried to install a fresh armbian (and I also tried lot's of different distribution on several SD cards), and all of them are unable to boot. Today, I tried to plug an UART cable (USB <-> Serial) during boot in order to see what happened... And here is what I got : U-Boot SPL 2016.09.01-armbian (Nov 14 2016 - 08:40:41) DRAM: 0 MiB ### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ### (The date of armbian of course depends on the version I'm running).

Hi all, today I tried ubuntu xenial (dev) with kernel 4.9.4 for OrangePi Plus2. seems to work fine, but the screen resolution is 3840x2160. That is cool but a smaller resulution would be better. I tryed to change the screen settings over Settings -> Display, but it is not possible to change the values there. I also tried it with: sudo h3disp, but it is not installed on my system. What is the best way to change the screen res?

Hello, I have red, that WiFi card built-in Orange Pi Lite (RTL8189FTV) could make troubles (drivers), so I wonder - maybe will be better to buy Orange Pi One and WiFi dongle (a well tested one, with non-problem chipset) Which WiFi dongle would you recommend for Orange Pi One?

Hi everybody I'm using Orange PI One with OS Armbian Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 3.4.112-sun8i (Server) I need to convert some videos for make video stream(H264) but it works so slowy(3~10 fps) when I use ffmpeg.

Thanks for your effort on this project. Much appreciated. I was able to follow this tutorial (10 minutes, 24 seconds in) on the Debian image to get the TV out working. I'm building scripts to modify the networking between a number of modes - super helpful to get a console access when I break something and lose all networking access. Is there support for this on the Ubuntu side? The simple "add 'tv' to the bottom of "/etc/modules" doesn't do anything. Please advise. Thanks!

Hello, I am looking for a dimensional (mechanical) drawing of the OPi Zero. I have found the dwg files at the orangepi website (see attached rar archive) but I am running into issues figuring out what the exact locations are of the holes & headers.
