hi all, i had a orange pi zero board that worked fine until yesterday. MY BOARD IS ORANGEPI ZERO (not 2) i upgraded the OS armbian : Linux orangepizero 6.6.31-current-sunxi #1 SMP Fri May 17 10:02:40 UTC 2024 armv7l GNU/Linux the board worked fine until the last reboot in order to test octopi startup, but before this reboot the OS was upgraded and rebooted the issue now is that the wlan0 seems to be always down i do a lot of setup but it still to remain down, i am not a very expert with these board but i am very new with this kind of issue. can anyone help me with the troubleshooting ? …

Hello, I am very sorry that I have to leave the Armbian flock, but the Dietpi-Distro is so much better. It simply boots off the SD-Card on my NanoPi NeoCore and the darned Ethernet simply works; also the DTB overlay files work, so the additional I2C and UART hardware works in Dietpi. And the kernel is 6.x too ! However, the NanoPi Neocore is shipped with an outdated Armbian (using Kernel 4.x) on EMMC. What I now want is to replace the prepared EMMC Armbian distro with whatever is on my SD-Card, but this task is more difficult than I tought. What I would need is to simply copy the whole SD-Card to EMMC, but the recommended "dd if='sdcard...' of='emmc...'...." co…

Hi, I am having problems connecting my orange pi zero 3 to my TV via hdmi: No matter what I try the TV reports "no signal". Before I came to armbian I have tried the vendor-supplied debian and arch images and could not get hdmi output on any of them, so it might be that my micro-hdmi adapter is faulty or that the hdmi-port on the device itself is faulty, but over the weekend I cannot replace any hardware so I thought I try here to see if anyone has an idea on what to try. The image I am currently running is Armbian_community_24.5.0-trunk.58_Orangepizero3_jammy_current_6.6.17_gnome_desktop.img. When I log into the device I ca…

I'm trying to setup a GPS-based time server on an Orange PI Zero 3, running Armbian 24.8.0-trunk.495, kernel 6.6.43-current-sunxi64. I have the exact same hardware setup working fine on a RaspberryPI 4b, running RPI OS / Debian 11 (bullseye) , kernel 6.1.21-v8+ #1642.

Hi, I recently purchased a Banana Pi M2 zero, and I can't seem to get the OTG port to work with any kind of operating system. I have tried all of the normal remedies like cable issues, power supply, etc. With no luck. I know Armbian is usually the best OS for these little boards, but I can't seem to get a keyboard or mouse to work with it. Although it boots up just fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I downloaded the lastest Armbian image for my Nanopi Neo (Armbian 23.02.2 Jammy with Linxu 5.15.93-sunxi).

Hi @ertugrul and @afaulkner420. I was trying to create a bootable drive for the orangepi 3 lts and it always fails in validation in balenaEtcher. I tried even with that and it does not seems to work. The non-desktop versions worked however. I didn't see any error messages during the flashing and everything else seemed to work well. Thanks, Ashish

good morning everyone, I installed Armbian 23.02.2 on orangepizero about a year ago without ever having a problem . Today it suddenly stopped booting and I can't get it to start again and that's what I'm interested in, also possibly to recover internal docker configurations. The orangepizero is powered by a 3A power supply under UPS and properly cooled, if I use the latest release on a new SD it works perfectly, so I think it is not a hardware problem. The SD with Armbian 23.02.2 is not corrupted and I can read every part of it. Does anyone know any tricks to get it running again?

Hi, I am trying to get a led matrix to work via the SPI interface but cannot get it to work. I have enabled the interface and have an spi-device under /dev and there is a spi-module loaded. I have tried to connect MOSI and MISO to run spidev-test and everything seems to be fine but when I connect the led-matrix simply nothing happens. I can run the example-scripts from the luma-matrix library without getting an error - but there is simply nothing appearing on the matrix - however it does light up when I touch it on the backside... i have tried to use different values for param_spidev_spi_bus and param_spidev_spi_cs in a…

Hi guys. I installed Armbian 23.8 Bookworm on mmc and I have not eth0 interface. WiFi works. Could you help me?

I configured my opi to work as a composite usb gadget (mouse and rndis). Everything works, but the actual refresh rate of the mouse was 250 Hz. I tried to configure bInterval, which is responsible for the device update frequency, this could only be done by rebuilding the kernel with bInterval changes in the high-speed descriptor structures from 4 to 1 in the file drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_hid.c. It had an effect. But the frequency only rose to 500 Hz. I tried to find what could limit this, I looked in drivers/usb/dwc2/gadget.c and also in composite.c but I couldn’t find anything. Now I don’t know where to look next or i missed sth.. drivers/usb/gadget/func…

Hi there, I'm trying to set up AP + STA on wlan0 using Orange Pi Zero 2W and Orange Pi Zero 3 with the Armbian image. I managed to do this on a Raspberry Pi Zero W. I encountered a problem: when creating a virtual access point, the process hangs and cannot be killed. Any attempt to view the logs after starting the process also leads to a hang, and only a reboot helps. This problem does not occur on the Raspberry Pi. I use the command: sudo iw phy phy0 interface add ap0 type __ap. For testing, I added an external USB Wi-Fi module to the Orange Pi Zero 3 and managed to create a virtual access point on it without any problems or hangs, so this problem only occurs …

Hello, Installed some updates recently on OrangePi PC Plus and after reboot I'm stuck on boot screen with message "Starting kernel...". Would this be logged somewhere? Any way to recover from this or should I start from scratch? boot error

My friend, when he next inserted the microSD card into the Orange Pi Zero 2 slot, the microSD slot fell off the board 😞 It is not possible to solder it because some of the tracks on the board have become detached so Is it possible to run the ArmBian system on OZPi v2 with a copy of the microSD system on a USB Pendrive? I am looking for a method to run OZIPI v2 without microSD on the system via USB disk

I have my Orange Pi running for a while on the CLI release of Jammy with kernel version: 6.6.16. It has been working well. I was building another one up and I went to download Armbian and I noticed that OrangePiZero is community supported now (Don't think it was before?). The current version to download says that network issues are expected. I never had this on 6.6.16 so wanted to stay on that. I looked here: https://armbian.hosthatch.com/archive/orangepizero/archive/ But there is only minimal for 6.6.16, all/most others have minimal and CLI (typical, the one I want lol) Is there somewhere else I could find the CLI vers…

Hi! So the problem is when I configure wifi hotspot using hostapd, isc-dhcp-server, and ifupdown, I'm able to start the AP, connect to it, and ping. However, the moment any device connects to the AP the serial console gets spammed with this message around once a second: protocol 0000 is buggy, dev wlan0 This happens on the unofficial Armbian build (from the Armbian OrangePi Zero3 page), DietPi, and the official OrangePi Debian build. The wireless band doesn't matter. Kernel version: 6.1.31-sun50iw9. I tried to set up the AP with NetworkManager, but couldn't manage to connect to it. Probably DHCP issues that I couldn't resolve. I haven't …

Hi I'm trying to understand how to enable Uart 2 for serial communication with a mcu on the banana pi (trying to connect a board running klipper to it).

Hi, what are currently the options of controlling 433Mhz sender/receiver devices from an orange Pi zero 3? Currently the gpios are no longer exposed via sysfs but you could re-enable that feature by compiling a new kernel with the proper configuration. Then wiringpi would work again and you could use 433Utils. But what would be the options without compiling a new kernel? What 433Mhz library exists that uses the new way of controlling the gpios? I am a bit confused about the current state of affairs, please enlighten me...

I've seen this question asked quite frequently here and all the posts end before there is a solution. I think it's time we had a crystal clear discussion on how it can be done. Not just for my curiosity, but for the people who've asked before and for the people who will ask in the future. The reason: Many hats/shields designed for RaspberryPi would otherwise be compatible with OrangePi if Armbian/u-boot didn't direct the debug output to UART0. UART0 is the most commonly used serial connection for hats/shields designed for RaspberryPi. OrangePi has multiple UART gpio so it would make sense for the O.S. (Armbian) to use the one that least impacts the…

I was successfully able to compile armbian 6.6.30 with all of @Stephen Graf patches for my orangepi zero 3 having Full Audio working even on HDMI. see below for reference. Now I have a 2nd project. It runs the h616 with 2GB DDR3 RAM with AXP313. Can someone help me with a patch for the AXP313 on h616. Or alternatively, could my h618 orangepi zero 3 setup work if I patch it to run with DDR3? If so where can I find such a patch. Thanks in advance.

Hello Armbian community, Firstly, thank you for the amazing work that you do. Having Armbian has made the setup process so simple, and I really appreciate that I'm completely new to the world of SBCs and Armbian (but not Linux), and this issue had me stumped for a long time. I wanted to share the solution for those who are in the same position as me, as I only found this on Raspberry Pi resources. Sorry if this has already been covered elsewhere in the forums - my searches didn't show any answers from here, and additionally, I keep getting time-locked (forced to wait 30sec) for every forum search. The model of OPI I have is the Orange Pi Zero 2…

Hello, I hope someone might help me on this. Is anyone here using the ENC28J60 Ethernet port on an Orange Pi Zero 2W or Orange Pi Zero 3? If so, can you please share the file .dts (or .dtbo) that is working for you? I've generated a .dtbo using the file in https://github.com/armbian/sunxi-DT-overlays/blob/master/examples/spi-enc28j60.dts, with: dtc -I dts -O dtb -o /boot/overlay-user/spi-enc28j60.dtbo spi-enc28j60.dts but still it doesn't work. It says "chip not found". I'm using the same cable pinout as in my Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and it works successfully, but not in the Orange Pi Zero 2W. Any idea?

For information purposes, that the 1.3-inch SH1106 OLED connected to I2C on OZPI v3 works very well OLED connected to PIN 3 of SDA and PIN 5 of SCK and in armbian-config in HARDWARE set to [*] i2c3-ph Using tools i2cdetect -y shows that the OLED is at address 0x3c All Python code with the adafruit library works fine

The topic is no longer new, but I have not found the reason and its solution! If you turn off the power (just pull out the wire) then you can get a non-working system. As I noticed, the files opened at the time of launch are broken. And some files such as /etc/boot/armbianEnv.txt in general, they are recorded with some kind of garbage!!! Because of this, your settings fly off! For example, I use ttys1 and this option is registered armbianEnv.txt , but after the power loss, there is just terrible garbage in this file, as if the memory dump fell there!!! For example, I still use dotnet, so it also breaks down and does not start anymore!! When y…

Hi all, First post here. I have been running Armbian on my original Bananapi Pro for a long while now, and thought that it's time to upgrade from Bullseye to Bookworm finally. There were some complications with UsrMerge that I had to resolve manually (I think some boot files from the original Buster installation were both in /lib and /usr/lib), but apart from that the upgrade appears to have worked: All userspace stuff is on Bookworm. # lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Debian Description: Armbian 24.5.0-trunk.530 bookworm Release: 12 Codename: bookworm However, the kernel seems to be stuck on 5.15…

Hi I'm using an Orange Pi PC Plus with a LoRa HAT (Semtech SX1278) connected via GPIO. The tool which uses this HAT connects directly to the SX1278 chip on the HAT, no protocoll like SPI is needed. I'm using it for several years on RaspberryPi's without problems. But with the latest ARMBIAN Image for the Orange Pi PC Plus Armbian_23.11.1_Orangepipcplus_bookworm_current_6.1.63.img.xz I have issues in this constellation. The tool can not contact the SX1278 via GPIO, said the tool developer. It seems like I have to activate the GPIO pins before. I've tried to find information about that, but without success. So I hope to find here more in…

Hello. I have a problem with Orange Pi Zero LTS. I also have an expansion board and the required 3.5-jack cable. I have read many different forums and sites where people have described problems with video signal output. Often there are solutions such as: 1. Editing the file /boot/script.bin But this file does not exist. 2. They also talk about the launch of "tv". You need to add an entry to /etc/modules. But that doesn't work either, since ./tvout doesn't exist. As I understand it, in new versions there is no TV support, but there is no way to download old versions either. The latest version that can be downloaded is 5.59,…

I disabled Armbian kernel upgrades to stay at Armbian 23.11.1 until Armbian 24 stabilizes. Yesterday I unfroze the kernel upgrades to upgrade to 24.2.1. I run: apt update apt upgrade apt dist-upgrade Apt update says All packages are up to date. shows nothing. What did I miss?

Hello! I have a Zero2 board with 1GB of RAM. I compiled a Debian 12 desktop image for Zero2 using Armbian and I want to play online videos through a web browser. Unfortunately, the results have been disappointing as the performance for 1080p videos is very slow. I tried using swap, but it didn't help. I also attempted to play 1080p videos using MPV and VLC. MPV can still play the videos, but it feels sluggish, and VLC gets stuck on the screen until the playback is finished. I would like to know how to configure Zero2 on Linux to achieve video acceleration. I'm new to this, so I would appreciate some guidance. Thank you!

Hi everyone, Recently I have installed armbian Bookworm on my orangepi pc and i noticed that the LEDs were not working. The system is booting with no issue and I have connected to wifi and did an initial software update and bootloader update and still the issue is persisting. So I clean installed jammy on the pi to check it again and still the led was not working. Please help me out on this issue, and if anything more is required please do let me know.

hi guys, using Armbian 23.02.2 Buster with Linux 5.15.93-sunxi on a NanoPi Neo Core LTS. I configured cron to do a daily reboot at 00:30. Every 10-20 days the system is becoming unresponsive unless I do a power cycle. Where should I begin to investigate this issue? Thank you

Hello, about a month ago I got MangoPi QM-Quad - quite nice board, but with small support. Hardware specification: https://mangopi.org/mqquad Review: https://bret.dk/initial-mangopi-mq-quad-comparison/ I needed a raspberry pi zero board with usb-c with both host and otg ports and external wifi antenna - so after some consideration I want with Mango-Pi QM-Quad. Sadly after some work with available distributions I finally give up with trying to compile / build everything I needed and moved to getting Armbian to run on the board. Thankfully board is almost identical with orangepi-zero2 - so modification with edge kernel only required m…

Good day everyone, I am running into some issue while trying to update packages on my Nano Pi Neo Plus 2, I am currently running Armbian 23.02.2 Buster with Linux 5.15.93-sunxi64 on the board. I am trying to update my packages with apt-update however the error I am receiving back is the following: E: The repository 'http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/armbian-apt buster Release' no longer has a Release file. N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details. Can someone help me out to fix it? Thanks in advance!

We have a project based on FriendlArm's NanoPi Neo Air board. Currently the devices are running Armbian 18.04 LTS loaded from emmc. We are looking for a way to update the devices "offline" / with no user interaction. We can upload data to the devices via FTP and also can execute shell scripts. We can not easily access the on-board micro SD slot but have an external SD-Slot / USB-A Port with lots of free memory on each device. Any hints or explanations are very welcome!

I am trying to build an armbian image for a nanopi R1S-H3 this used to be possible in the past. Now when I build and select the extended board list the R1S-H5 is present but not the R1S-H3. Should I build using another H3 board, or is the R1S-H5 close enought o get it to boot.

Is this the right place to post this type of content? I have a board for Orange Pi. Since I'm usually using windows, it's very inconvenient to burn u-boot. I'll post it to github later if you guys are interested! （Machine translated, English not so good, don't know if the description is apt or not.）

I'm trying to flash the armbian image onto my orange pi zero 3 but it doesn't boot, no red or green light, I've tried both images (jammy and bookworm) but no success, I'm using Balena Etcher to flash the images.

Hello Dear all, I dont really understand why netplan is renderer: NetworkManager I try to put wpa_supplicant.conf but does not work. I have add my profile in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ and test to connect with armbian-config it work. But, I don't know how to make my system automatically connect to wifi this way? Many thanks in advance for help.

As per the Subject, the I2C bus 0 is enabled and detected, but I don't see an addresses being returned when I try the i2cdetect -y 0 command. I have a single PCF 8574A connected with address 0x38. and have double checked the wiring. The PCF8574A did respond on the I2C bus on another SBC. Thanks John

Hi Folks, I have a NanoPi NEO Air with Armbian Bookworm. Previously I was running Armbian 23.11.1 Bookworm with Linux 6.1.63-current-sunxi, but after an apt upgrade I am now with Armbian 24.2.1 Bookworm with Linux 6.6.16-current-sunxi. With this latest upgrade I completely lost the USB console feature which for my application is a MUST. How can I fix it? Have a nice day, Mattia

Hi I have installed the latest image for Orange Pi Zero v1 https://dl.armbian.com/orangepizero/archive/Armbian_24.2.1_Orangepizero_bookworm_current_6.6.20.img.xz link from https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero/ After the first boot, I see that it is kernel 6.6.20 Welcome to Armbian 24.2.1 Bookworm with Linux 6.6.20-current-sunxi Linux version 6.6.20-current-sunxi (armbian@next) (arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc (Ubuntu 11.4.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 11.4.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.38) #1 SMP Sat Mar 2 17:23:09 UTC 2024 and when I run apt update& apt upgrade apt list --upgradable Listing...

After an "apt upgrade", the kernel was switched to "Linux 6.6.16-current-sunxi64" (Armbian 24.2.1 Jammy). On the WiFi side, no problem, but for Ethernet, it no longer seems to detect the link. So I downgraded to "Linux 6.1.77-legacy-sunxi64" with armbian-config. After this, the Ethernet works again. Do you have any idea where this could come from? And if this can be fixed in future versions?

I've installed Armbian 23.11.1 Bookworm on a FriendlyElec ZeroPi. This version works flawlessly. A few days ago I updated to Armbian 24.2.1 and since then the ZeroPi crashes and hangs. Sometimes it happens after a few minutes, sometimes after a few hours. When it crashes I can't ssh to the device anymore (headless operation). Unbound, AdguardHome and cups aren't accessable, too.

Hi, I am having a problem getting the graphical login to work... What I run is an ubuntu jammy image with gnome, however when I boot with my tv connected via hdmi it seems to work at first but finally I end up with a screen just displaying the above error. armbianEnv.txt contains the line "disp_mode=1920x1080p60" (a mode my TV supports), yet when the device starts it uses the 4k mode - could this be part of the problem? So how could I get this working and how would I ensure that my device only uses fhd resolution, even though my tv can also do 4k? Many thanks!

I'm trying to get a HDMI LCD touchscreen working. The pinout is compatible with Orange PI PC except the SPI CS pin is on pin 26 (WPI 11) instead of pin 24 (WPI 10).

Also, I'm not sure how to properly configure the pen down interrupt pin for pin 22 (WPI 6) So far, I've got the following working: Image: Orangepipc_2.0.8_debian_buster_desktop_linux5.4.65.7z Touchscreen: 3.5 Inch HD HDMI USB LCD Touch Screen 3.5" Display Module 480×320 1920x1080 for Raspberry Pi 3rd 4th Generation 4B/3B+/3B/2B orangepiEnv.txt: overlays=spi-add-cs1 spi-spidev param_spidev_spi_bus=0 para…

Hello everyone! I am trying to set up a CSI camera for my Orange Pi win plus (A64). The camera is GC2035 and I have already seen it not easy with latest versions. New versions of Armbian have not CSI support and do not have drivers gc2035 and vfe_v4l2. I found you can somehow compile the driver but honestly.....I do not understand how. I know the process of ./compile.sh but no idea how to use this https://github.com/avafinger/gc2035 It says is for H3, probably not for A64 right? Looking for the oldest version of Armbian I could use, I found out on the archive this one: Armbian_5.59_Orangepiwin_Ubuntu_xenial_default_..&g…

As the title says. I can not get PWM to work. I can type gpio mode 2 pwm and no error. But when I try to access it from Klipper (3D Printer Software and Firmware) it won't work. However if I use gpio 3, in software, gpio 4 turns on. Please help me out here. Thanks, Kevin

Hi all, I would like to use the PWM1 in order to drive a charge pump, but I am struggling to enable PWM using the DTB on Armbian v23.11. Anyone succeeded in configuring PWMs in H616? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I have Orange Pi 3 LTS with Armbian 22.*.1 5.15.80-sunxi64. It have been working well for about a year, but after upgrading to 23.8.16.1.47-current-sunxi64 network interfaces stop working at all. I can't downgrade kernel with arbian-config because it need internet access. Here is output from armbianmonitor: armbianmonitor.txt Could you please guide me how to solve this issue?

When testing my most recent builds using the Armbian build framework I found that I was experiencing a constant load greater than 1.00. At first, I thought this is probably normal to have a load during the system boot but after waiting over 10 minutes I found that the load did not decrease. Firstly, I used HTOP but could not find a process that was heavy utilising the CPU with the relative CPU usage show as low. Next I tried using TOP which revealed a process called kworker: freezeable_power. Trying to search for the issue I did not find much until I came across this old forum post that described the same issues I was having: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/75…

Hey everyone, I am attempting to update my Orange Pi Zero from Armbian 22.0.2.1 to the latest 23.11 version however I am running into the issue that I am stuck on how to perform this update, I have tried it using the sudo apt dist-upgrade command and tried regular sudo apt update and upgrade commands but everytime it says there are no new updates available (also no errors), when there is clearly a new version 23.11 available here: https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero/ What am I doing wrong? Is it maybe because it says unsupported userspace?

I'm powering my NanoPi Neo V1.4 1801 through the USB type A port beside the Ethernet RJ45. I'm using Armbian 23.11.1 bookworm with kernel Linux nanopineo 6.1.63-current-sunxi. Now I want to enable the Micro-USB port (usually used for powering) to act as an USB host so that I can plugin an USB-stick. I found very few instructions for e.g. Orange Pi. There the device tree needs to be changed for usb@1c19000 and usb0-vbus. Also in armbianEnv.txt the line param_usb0_mode=0 should be added. But none of the instructions work for my NanoPi Neo. In the schematics, a SY6280 is connected via GPIOL2/USB0-DRVVBUS to the H3 cpu. …
