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?

I have Orange Pi Lite. I installed Ubuntu Xenial Nightly 4.10.1. Orange Pi Lite has WiFi. I would like to run hostapd. I want to see the Supported interface modes. I run the iw list command, but it does not return anything. What is the problem? I was looking for an answer on the forum, but I did not find it. Driver = rtl8189fs

Is it possible to set Orange Pi Plus after "poweroff" command to boot-up by LAN impulse? I am using armbian ubuntu xenial OS. The LED-s on the Ethernet connector are on so maybe there is some chance.

Hi, When Armbian starts loading kernel (just after showing loading kernel), the screen just gets scattered and Cubieboard2 shuts down. The Mainline on the other hand boots without a problem. Can I do something to get more info about what causes the problem, as I would like to be able to run the Legacy 3.4.113 version. The scatter is similar to this image: Thanks!

I can not start armbian Debian Jessie Legacy 3.4.113 on orange pi lite. Loading goes to the words Starting kernel ... and black screen Armbian Ubuntu Xenial Nightly 4.9.4 runs well. What is the problem?

Following the instructions from the download page for the Lime2-eMMC we tried to apply the commands listed, but it looks that something is garbled here source is not a command AFAIK and if I use it as an apt-get option the system complaints about missing entries in sources. What is the correct way?

I am planning a project for a few Orange Pi Lites as multimedia devices. I have been testing applications on the Lite with it unenclosed, and without a heatsink and haven't seen any issues with heat so far (running at 1.2 GHz). Is there a general consensus on if this board should have a heatsink when clocked at 1.2 GHz (and is enclosed)? The intended case design has vents.

Hello everyone! it is possible to make dual-boot between Armbian and a Android custom rom on Orange pi pc (h3)? I have only a sandisk extreme 64gb U3. I haven't other cards where to put Armbian and Android separated. Thanks in advance!

Hello! I wrote the legacy image to a sd card and put it into the card slot. I can see something like diagnostic message and then "starting kernel". After that there is no video output. Neither over VGA nor over HDMI. Is that wanted? I tried 3 different monitors, but no chance. I can connect via ssh after a few minutes, but using a monitor and a screen would help, when there is no network. What am I doing wrong? Greetings, Pille

Hi, I have problems with the versions "Armbian 5.25 Orangepizero Debian jessie default" and 5.26. When i install Nginx, the directory "nginx" is created in /var/log/. After a "reboot" the directory is then "disappeared", not possible to start Nginx. I can create the folder with error.log and access.log and restart Nginx. After this, it runs. After a reboot again, nginx is missig again... Any hints? The same happens with 5.25 and 5.26 on OrangePiOne, so far tested... I thing i'm not the only one with this problem. (I testet with "root" permissions only)

Hello, currently I am working on my Orange pi one system (Armbian Linux orangepione 3.4.113-sun8i #10 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 23 19:55:00 CET 2017 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux) to get my ILI9341-TFT display to work using the fb_ili9341 kernel module. I have read a lot of documentation and the display works (using the fb_ili9341 module) attached to my cubeitruck (also running armbian).

Hi All, I am having no luck getting my OP PC+ to boot the Armbian_5.20_Orangepipcplus_Debian_jessie_3.4.112_desktop.img. I have followed https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started and after writing to the sd card then trying to boot the monitor remains blank, both lights on the lan socket stay on and the green light stays on. I have tried two sd cards, both of which I have tested with f3write and f3read. I have been able to boot with both sd cards using the OrangePI_Jessie_Xfce.img from https://mega.nz/#F!wh8l2BjK!OBep3nMldBletvNNwkH2Jg I have noticed that this Jessie image puts a boot partition plus the linux partition on the sd card and the…

I was wondering if there is a significant performance difference with the lime2 when a heatsink is added? I plan on ordering a couple of heatsinks from ebay to try myself however I'm wondering if anyone from the community has any feedback. Thanks

Hi, without consulting the specs first I bought a 128GByte card and obviously it doesn't work on my OPi Plus2e Is there any chance this will be fixed in software or is this a hardware limitation? Cheers, pansen

Hello everyone, newbie here just starting with armbian Recently I bought a cheap orange pi zero and I cannot connect via ssh through wifi. I read multiple threads regarding that issue however I cant say I understood everything I read. So, in a nutshell, is there any solution available? As many users reported, I can connect via ssh over etherner or wifi when ethernet is plugged in but not when only a wifi connection is available.

Of the 10 columns of output, only 4 seem to be working. Time, CPU Frequency, Load & Temperature. The other 6 columns seem wrong. I'm running Armbian_5.25_Orangepizero_Debian_jessie_default_3.4.113.img Running minerd --benchmark on the console and armbianmonitor -m in a ssh session produces this :- Time CPU load %cpu %sys %usr %nice %io %irq CPU 06:25:10: 240MHz 0.13 1% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 47°C 06:25:16: 1200MHz 0.36 1% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 64°C 06:25:21: 912MHz 0.65 1% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 68°C 06:25:26: 912MHz 0.92 1% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 65°C 06:25:31: 912MHz 1.17 1% 0%…

I have an OrangePi Plus. I downloaded and installed "Armbian_5.25_Orangepiplus_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113.7z" (actually, I installed the image file from inside that archive) onto a micro-SD/TF card (16GB) and managed to get it to talk to my monitor (thanks, armbian, for "h3disp"). I searched the web, and this forum, for instructions on how to install a graphical desktop on top of the particular Ubuntu Xenial flavor and found nothing I could make sense of. I tried the following: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-fbdev ubuntu-desktop I got the Ubuntu greeter, but when I log in, I get a stock desktop background with no sidebars or menu bar.

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 …

Why not to add lirc_gpio support to NanoPiNeo Air ? Even if it is not planned, I try to use this patch : https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/patch/kernel/sun7i-default/0050-lircgpio_and_raw.patch Kernel compilation is ok for me : apt-get -y install git git clone https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib --depth 1 cp lib/compile.sh . ./compile.sh I try to apply this patch now : ~/crosscompile/lib/patch/kernel/sun7i-default/0050-lircgpio_and_raw.patch I expected to have a lircgpio.ko somewhere, but nothing. Is there a procedure or a tutorial or some help to build a driver ?

Hello, I have got my Orange Pi PC+ reading a DS18B20, but it only gives 0.5 degree increments so I believe the resolution is set to 9 bit. This is nowhere near good enough for the application I plan to use it for. When I cat w1_slave I get: 90 01 80 01 1f ff 02 04 5c : crc=5c YES 90 01 80 01 1f ff 02 04 5c t=25000 I have attempted to use this: https://github.com/danjperron/BitBangingDS18B20 but it appears to be specifically for RaspPi. Does anyone know how I can change the resolution to 11 or 12 bit? Many thanks

Dear all, I am using armbian Mainline Debian Jessie 4.9.7 and 4.9.12 on a Banana Pi Pro (A20). Coming from legacy and fex, I came a long way learning a lot about Device Trees, Overlays, etc. the last 2 weeks. I even compiled some dev kernels to experiment. I currently struggle with with the OTG port. I have two devices on the primary slots and need to get the OTG in host mode to attach my third device. I've read that the OTG is not providing 5V to the device. Therefore, I use Pin4 5V DC and Pin6 GND of the 40Pin header. It works well when connecting Device #3 on USB 1 or 2. But not on OTG. I used dmesg to track devices. Is there an…

Hello does someone have the working configuration enabling the onewire master bus on the mainline version ? I have tried to gather the information from several posts adding the missing configuration on the devicetree but as there is no real step by step guide and the kernel wiki entry makes no sense for the zero`s pins. Overlay or straight settings into the boot configuration.

Hi, I tried to safe-upgrade (apt-get upgrade) Trusty today but got the following notice: Failed to fetch http://apt.armbian.com/dists/trusty/main/binary-armhf/Packages It would be OK to dist-upgrade to Xenial anyway as described in the Docs ... apt-get install update-manager-core do-release-upgrade -d # further to xenial apt-get dist-upgrade ... but I think it would be a good idea to start from a proper Trusty.

I have couple H3 and A20 devices and all run fine except one - Opi Lite, running latest Arbian (5.26) with built in wifi connected does not close SSH session upon reboot/poweroff. The session eventually times out on client but sometimes I have to kill it manually. There are no modifications to PAM nor systemd-logind configurations and the configuration is exactly the same as on other devices. I'm wondering what may cause this misbehaviour, and how can I fix this? (This topic was created yesterday before db failure/site update and I can't find it now on restored site, I guess it has been lost)

Looking for any means of finding a unique and permanent MAC address for opilites. Is there some kind of serial number or other unique number of any kind in an H3 SOC or in something on an OPI Lite board that could be used to derive a MAC ? As things currently are I either have to manually setup the mac for each board I build - in a conf file in /etc/modprobe.d or live with the fact that the board comes up with a new mac/ip with every boot.

Is there any real-time patch support for the Banana Pi M2+? Thank You

To replace my dead home server (which was just a dead laptop anyway), I picked up an Orange Pi PC for cheap locally. After solving power supply issues, I tested GUI and media performance on the board, with an aim to perhaps use the composite out for emulation, before concluding that this wasn't the best choice for the board. (That, and it'd kill my performance for the more useful server aspects.) While technically impressive, it wasn't really worth it when my PC is right there for me to use to play those video files I would on the board. Looking into the matter, it seems the ideal solution for a file server would be to install the Mainline kernel to benefit fr…

Hiya, Using a Banana Pi M1 as a factory production tester in China, running Armbian Mainline 4.6.3.

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…

Dear all, Recently I purchased Orange Pi Lite. I installed recommended Armbian with Legacy 3.4.113 kernel as there is no mainline image yet. When pushing the power button a logo appears, the screen goes black and after 10 seconds command prompt with login appears with no dmesg output on screen while loading kernel image and services that all is already loaded but no output shown. So far, I am happy with it, BUT when I run Vim command to open certain file, I see it opens the file and screen dimms in few seconds to complete darkness, the only way how to get out of this black screen is to switch to another console, when I switch back, it again appears a…

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!

There are any chance to get running a graphical desktop ambient? I've read on the forum that the kernel need some mod in order to work... Anyone get it working?

I have managed to install ARMBian on my Orange Pi PC + and it occurred to me to use it as a STEAM Link with MOONLIGHT software that gives such good results in its version for Android. The linux version runs from an independent one here. The problem is that it does not let me install the dependencies, I leave them an image. I have tried it from XTerminal as from 'Synaptic Package Mannager' As I say I am new to this, if someone who knows how to operate explained it I would be very grateful. Thank you very much. //------------------------------------------\\ Spoile…

Hi, From months i'm using the raspberry boards to monitor, control, log and to sending commands to remote stations. I've fighted against wifi devices that stop to work untill i've tried the raspberry pi3 and the edimax dongles, correct the sd errors (untill i've decided to run the boards with a readonly fs), installed the (software) watchdog, etc... but now everything works perfectly from months on more then 20 boards equipped with good power supply and sd. The last months i've tried to replace the raspberry pi board, with the orange pi lite board and armbian jessie 5.20 server. With the old version of orange pi pc, connected by ethernet, everything works fine, but wi…

Hi there, My question is to Orange Pi Zero owners. I've read is has DDR3 RAM shared with GPU. What is a minimum value of GPU memory? I'm looking for headless setup so it would be good to know how much memory can be used by OS. Thank you in advance.

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?

Hello, My project does not allow me to use SD card to boot and run my application. I can use SD card as drive to save my data. Is there any alternative way to do so ? Has anyone built a micro rootfs for O-Pi-ZERO NOR Flash ? Does anyone have an idea of the MINIMUM SIZE that is required to do so, if 2MB is too less ? Thanks Nbird.

Hey there, I am a long time user of your armbian operating system. It is great, I am using it for a simple home NAS system. But I have found one problem with armbian, which is very annoying: My standard Banana Pi keeps loosing the HDD Ive connected over Sata. It is a 3,5" Seagate Barracude 3TB drive formated as Ext4. It gets 5V and 12V power and runs quite perfect, as long as it has something to do. It spins up and down as I configured it. But when I leave the pi for a longer time period unattended (no workload), and the harddrive stays in spindown-mode too long, it wont identify the HDD anymore. The mount point and the /dev/sda are gone. I need to powercycle t…

Hello! How are you? I have OPI PC PLUS running ubuntu xenial desktop. I want to use it how pc / thin client. Is it possible OPI runs youtube videos?

Hello to all I am using Debian Jessie 5.25 on OPi PC+. And using rpi-monitor for monitoring stuff. I already made a fully working webserver and moved my wordpress to it, CPU usage around 10-20% when taking traffic, so it works like a charm. Today i decided i will use it to download a few big files with wget command. At first i was trying to be smart and save it directly to an ntfs pendrive mounted at usb0. Result - 40% I/O wait CPU usage and limited transfer (maybe 20-30 KB/s). Yes, my pendrive is bad, but hey, not so much. So i cancelled wget and tried to download the same file into /var/ into my SD card (used as system disk). Well, transfer was ok (200kB/s ser…

Is it possible to shut down power to a particular USB port? I have a sensor that is using USB also to power itself. I don't need it running all the time - hence - I'd like to turn it off.

Hi, Thanks for the excellent distribution I noticed that in the hardwareinfo script there is no bananapipro result and when I boot new vanilla 4.5 Kernel the banana.dtb file is used instead of the bananapro.dtb As a result, no wifi, see also last two replies here for similar issue with M1: http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/340-banana-pi-m1plus-no-wifi/?p=2138 Dirty Solution: hardcode loading bananapipro.dtb in boot.cmd. Wifi works This is result of "cat /proc/cpuinfo"

Hello Armbian-Folks, more than two years ago I purchased a CubieTruck and installed Cubian with kernel 3.4.79 on the microSD. The system is running since then and serving as airprint server, boinc client and monitoring device for my internet connection. Basically I use it more or less as a headless server. Now I would like to have this system more future ready and looking for an upgrade path. The kernel is quite old and the distro is based still on debian wheezy. Also Cubian is dead and not maintained anymore. Are you able to help or provide some good starting tipps to upgrade my system to new kernel and maybe armbian (debian jessy) as distro? I was search…

Yesterday I nearly burned my orange pi zero because of the faulty LAN cable, after that, everything I plugged into the expansion board couldn't be detected anymore by lsusb or dmesg, it works fine though if I plug in my thumb drive / usb wifi into the usb port on the main board (Next to the LAN port). How do I know for sure that my expansion board is broken and not the pin headers in the main board ? I'm not an electronic guy I don't know anything about soldering and stuff.

Hello, Is possible to connect my printer to the USB OTG with an adapter ? The printer (HP PSC1215) is pretty old and doesn't have an ethernet port, so I would like to share it over network with my OPI One. The native usb port is used already. I was thinking to buy an adapter USB OTG to USB and to connect the printer here. I'm asking here because I'm not very sure how does OTG works. I'm running ARMBIAN Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 3.4.113-sun8i. Thanks !

On my new orange pi zero I hooked a pl2303 usb converter to the three serial pins and use "screen /dev/ttyUSB4 115200" to connect. This gives garbage on boot, with occasional strings of meaningful info like "Orange Pi" or "Debian". Same converter worked fine on my Raspberry Pi Zero. I'm suspecting the Orange Pi is just too fast and either the pl2303 or my Debian system can't keep up. Does anyone have the serial console working? Should I try a cp2102 instead, or maybe reconfigure to a slower speed? When I configured a DHCP server and hooked it up via ethernet, I can get in fine.

Just a FYI Previously using nmtui-connect and adding a Wifi Config would survive across reboots. With nightly: Armbian_5.26.170226_Orangepipcplus_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.10.0 I find that I must repeatedly use nmtui-connect and even then it creates additional NM connection profiles # nmcli c NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE MyWifi 60caede4-0d67-4e72-9696-6e9f76f9ec0a 802-11-wireless -- MyWifi 1 a4f778ff-e8b9-431c-ad70-98d3e32252bc 802-11-wireless -- No other OS mods (such as /etc/network/interfaces) were made After nand-sata-install only nmtui-connect was utilized

Hi, I'm trying to boot from SATA the original OrangePI: Using the Jessie "Linux orangepi 4.9.12-sunxi #4 SMP Thu Feb 23 19:46:51 CET 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux" Followed this thread: https://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/329-moving-linux-to-sata-or-external-drive/ - copied to /dev/sda1 - edited /boot/boot.cmd and changed to /dev/sda1 - edited the mounted sda1 fstab and changed / to SATA drive UUID - compiled: mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.scr Rebooted but Orange Pi still boots from mSD card and does not use SATA drive. Question: Should I use UUID of the SATA drive in /boot/boot.cmd?

Hello, i want to use my Cubietruck with an Portmultiplier. So, i want to add this Kernel-Parameter: How can i do this. Spider.Mann

It took me a while to get this ILI9340 based LCD monitor working with the Orange Pi Zero until I found a post on this forum that explains how the H2+ ports are mapped to the GPIO numbers in the Linux kernel. So I built an online tool that does the math for you: Here is a map of all the Orange Pi Zero GPIO pins: All the additional details are described in this blog post.

If I connect by ssh all is correct only is when conect the hdmi. Thank you

Orange Pi Zero shows error [FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules. See 'systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service' for details. More details How to fix this error?

I tested the actual Xenial on my BPP but got a crashdump each time I reboot or shutdown the system. I found, that armhwinfo was causing this crash by removing the module a20_tp. Disabling the line /sbin/modprobe -r $(cut -f1 -d' ' </proc/modules) in /etc/init.d/armhwinfo avoid this problem. This line is part of a patch Thomas Kaiser introduced in October last year. I don't know, if this problem occurs only in my configuration (nothing special, but a connected Lemaker 5" LCD may be the difference), or it is related to the Kernel 3.4.113 only, but it goes reproducably wrong, if this line is active. It cause the oposite of the intention of this patch, because after…

USB-touchscreen doesn't work with Cubietruck 3.4.113. The touchscreen well works with versions 4.9.xxx, but doesn't work with 3.4.xxx. I connected the monitor 1920*1080 and a touchscreen to Cubietruck. Cubietruck smartly works in video browse mode, but the mouse and the keypad aren't always convenient for control. Especially at night, too loud clicks. I pasted a touchscreen on the monitor. It works with versions 4.xxx, but video doesn't work. And with versions 3.xxx on the contrary. What I should make that the touchscreen worked with version 3.4.113?

Hi there, I am new to OrangePi and Linux as well and that's probably why I have faced my first problem I could not find an answer on web. I use OP Lite with the latest debian jessie. And there is the problem (or just a bug): after some time of using WiFi (and wwan) I wanted to disable it in order to reduce "excessive" power consumption. So firstly I had disabled it via "nmcli" and after a while I found out about "h3consumption" command. But recently I wanted to install (and download) but none of the above commands were able to re-enable them. Any ideas how to re-enable (besides loading new OS image) ? In addition, I noted that changind "h3consumption" is not a…
