Hello, I have problem with "Orange Pi Zero Plus" and functionality of Relay module (electrical circuit= normally closed). Relay module is attached on pin/port number "0". When I set up pin number "0" from "OFF" to "OUT" state with command: gpio export 0 out state is changed from OFF to OUT and parameter in column "V" is "0". It should mean that relay stays turned of. +------+-----+----------+------+---+ | GPIO | wPi | Name | Mode | V | +------+-----+----------+------+---+ | 12 | 0 | SDA.0 | OUT | 0 | Problem is, that relay immediately after execution of mentioned command enables(turns on) output electrical circuit. Relay m…

How to use an Orange Pi Zero Plus as an ethernet gadget over usb otg using g_ether?

About 3 months ago i bought the Orange PI Zero Plus Orange Pi Zero Plus I installed Armbian Stretch and started playing around. I noticed that it got up to 71c which was to much so i shut it down and went on the net to buy some 5v fans to cool it. A month ago I received the first fans and noticed now that Armbian Buster had arrived. Since I hadn't gotten far with the config of Armbian Stretch I started on a new image. But to my disappointment the ARM processor is now clocked to 1008Mhz and not the 1.2Ghz the device is set to by manufacturer. I can guess that it is because of the heat problem that it is now set to…

Hi to everyone, I'm using "Armbian_5.38_Orangepizeroplus_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.14" on a Orange Pi Zero Plus H5 I'd like to test this new board by working with processor overclocking. But it seems to me that it is leased at 816Mhz maximum. Can someone tell me how to take it to 1200Mhz or more? Thanks Antonio

Can anyone confirm the Orange Pi Zero Plus H5 boards have been discontinued. The boards are no longer sold here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32828347476.html

Hi, I've got an Orange Pi Zero Plus H5 running "Armbian_5.91_Orangepizeroplus_Debian_buster_next_4.19.59.img" but I can't seem to connect to it via the three UART pins next to the Ethernet port. I'm using this adapter using both the Windows supplied and the manifacturer's drivers. I've also tried adding "uart1 uart2 uart3" to the overlays line in /boot/armbianEnv.txt and rebooting but with no luck. I'm using PuTTY on my laptop connecting via COM7 serial port (as shown in Device Manager) with baud rate 115200, but the PuTTY screen stays black with nothing coming in. Is there something that I'm missing?

I originally installed Armbian_5.38_Orangepizeroplus_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.14.14 I got NTP with PPS up and running on UART2 with PPS on PA3 I have a working backup image of this. I then used armbian-config to boot from USB disk and I installed a LAMP stack and battled to get a DB up and running. My mistake was upgrading the kernel before making a backup. My version is now ARMBIAN 5.38 stable Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS 4.14.48-sunxi64 NTP and PPS no longer work. Is there a way to downgrade the kernel without having to go back to the backup and battle with the DB config again? I'm a Linux newb so please make allowances for my ignorance. I have searched for sev…

Orange Pi Zero Plus | 5.83 | arm64 | aarch64 | 4.19.38-sunxi64 Hello Armbian community, I set up the wifi with armbian-config, but Wifi connection get lost or after reboot it does not connect again. Is there something I could to. would it help to turn off power management ? how too? looks like i am not the first with this problem: 9213-orange-pi-zero-plus-wifi-looses-connection-tip But if its possible I do not want to turn off the network manager ____________________________________________________________________________________________ …

I had an annoying issue with the WiFi of this board with Armbian 5.65 Ubuntu and Stretch. Sometimes it would spontaneous lose its WiFi connection. After researching it for a while I noticed that the wlan0 interface sometimes lost it's IP address. At first I thought it had something to do with the DHCP lease or sleep mode of the adapter. I just couldn't get my head around it and I ended up removing network-manager and going back to creating an interfaces.conf file for setting up my network interfaces. Somehow this solved the issue, the WiFi connection hasn't failed since! To do this, first create the wpa supplicant configuration file: ~# …

I compared two boards （opi zero h3 and opi zero plus h5) and found that cpu pins for 26 gpio are the same . so I modify the code in wiringPi about cpu detection to force return true value . and it works. the step: 1. git clone https://github.com/xpertsavenue/WiringOP-Zero 2. modify the code in WiringOP-Zero/wiringPi/wiringPi.c (or using the attached file to replace）。 3. make && make install 4. run "gpio readall " to test 5. run "gpio write 30 1" (the red-led on, wiringpi pin 30 control red-led status). wiringPi.c

Good day Armbian Forums! I'm having some trouble with builds of Armbian (up to and including 21.08.6 | kernel 5.10.60-sunxi) seeing wireless access points that are configured to channels 12 & 13 on my Orange Pi Zero Plus2 boards (H3 + 256mb RAM). Specifically, the default Android image (a generic Chinese-language Android multimedia system) that's loaded onto these boards can see and connect to access points that have been set to all channels (1-13) successfully, but any Armbian image I have tried fails to see anything (and subsequently cannot connect) to routers on channels 12 & 13. Due to the nature of this, I believe it may be a region setting or dri…

Hi everyone, I have the OV5640 game ver1 image sensor with ARMBIAN 5.75 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.19.20-sunxi64. Why does the kernel 4.19.* not support the OV5640 driver? How can I add this driver manually to the kernel? I noticed that the Orange Pi Zero Plus2 H3 kernel has OV5640 driver.

Hello guys, I trying to make my ili9431 to show early stage of boot console. Everything works great if I load from /etc/modprobe.d/fb_ili9341.conf but if I load from armbianEnv.txt nothings happen. I suspect that I am trying to load the device before the driver is loaded. I read about "platform file" here: https://github.com/notro/fbtft/wiki/Boot-console but I have difficulties modifying the files because the guide is for RPI. Can someone guide me or at least to know if I'm on the right track? Hardware details: Device: Orange PI Zero Plus2 Kernel: Linux orangepizeroplus2 4.14.83-sunxi …

Dont know whats wrong, but none of the images on the page are working, tried to burn them with ApplePI-Baker and Etcher, but no luck. Board boots fine with stock android image. There was someone in here that got it working with an image called Armbian_5.27_Orangepizeroplus2-h5_Debian_jessie_dev_4.11.0.img.xz but where do I download that image ?. And yes I know there is loads of problems, but wanted to test som perfomance on the board. Hope somebody can point me in the right direction

Before this I used to connect my APM 2.8.4 Flight controller to a Raspberry PI on Ground, Pin 8 and Pin 10. Today I tried to connect it to my orange pi zero plus2 H3. Pin 9, Pin 8 and Pin 10. On armbian-config toggle UART2. When i tried to connect to it using cat /dev/ttyS2 nothing came out. Once a while sent out some gibberish. I set the correct buadrate at 57600 and 91600 to no available. But I know the settings are correct because when I connect using USB through /dev/ttyACM0 it works. I tried ttyS1 and ttyS3 nothing came out of it. On Raspberry I had done this many times just by turning on the Serial Connection using …

Hi, as many did, I've bought a (CSI) OV5647 camera from AliExpress and am struggling to get it to work. Been at it for a week now and am at a loss. So i'm trying to get some clarification via this thread on how to get this camera to work. What I've done so far is to compile a mainline kernel (Ubuntu Bionic) and edited the kernel config file to include sun6i_csi and ov5647 driver. Build finishes successfully and am able to boot and load the drivers Unfortunately the OV5647 isn't recognized and /dev/video0 isn't created. Second build included a userpatch I've found online which i applied to no avail to the kernel https…

Help with connecting the camera. I have already tried many different images and means, but I never managed to launch the CSI camera. Someone was talking about the 3.4 linux kernel on armbian to make it work, but I don't know where to find it. Can anyone have an image on which the camera works?

I recently purchased a number of Orange Pi and Nano Pi boards, and discovered the awesome work of the Armbian team :-) The Orange Pi Plus2 H5 is a rather nice board - built in eMMC, H5, etc. (I wish it had 1GB of RAM but that's a different subject.) I'd love to use these boards for a number of projects. As a test, I modified the DTS for the board (mainline kernel) to enable support for the 1.1v/1.3v switch for VDD-CPUX using the SY8113B on the board. I also enabled the allowed clock changes to 1.2GHz for cpufreq. All of this worked great, but the board was very unstable at anything over 1GHz, which seemed strange, given that the CPU voltage should be swit…

Hi, after successfully booting the "Armbian_5.69_Orangepizeroplus2-h5_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.19.13.img" image from a SD-card I decided to use "armbian-config" to copy/install Armbian to the onboard eMMC.

Hi all, So I have like 30 opi zeros using armbian image I set one up with a basic system i need I then made an image of its card and duplicated 30 times It works great.. but... they freeze on boot sometimes. and at installations it is not always easy to access the power to reset, plus with so many its a pain to identify which ones have failed to boot and go reset them I am doing some tests in the office now I have one set up which waits for a http hit, and when it get a hit it flips a power relay off for a couple seconds then on again. Another one is connected to the power relay and s…

I've a opi zero running the latest armbian stable release, it just handle a pihole dhcp server and run the transmission client, but randomly stuck becoming inaccessible through ssh and webserver pages. All return normal when it restart by manual removing the power supply, but this way it's very uncomfortable, so what could be the cause? Is there a way to log the system errors for read them the next reboot? Thanks

We have deployed the zero for an integrated MCU on one of our products, and in rare occasions we are experience random lockups of the MCU (possibly related to overheating). Its pretty much impossible to debug this since it happens very rarely, but we are trying to mitigate all possible causes. The MCU is controlling a bigger and more expensive board and a fan. If there are internal failsafes that are being triggered by the MCU and locking it up (like temp) we want to disable as many of them as possible (we would rather have the MCU burn up than our main board). Anyone have any insights on orange pi zero OTP or OCP in kernel or uboot parameters we can disable?

as of some network release before the current (unsupported) 4.11.3 kernel, the networking has started having random value hw mac addresses on every boot. I suspect if you can do so and look @ your DHCP server, you will possibly see the orangepi (or whatever your hostname is) lurking there. Another way to do it if you have to, is to /sbin/ifconfig and get the HWaddr and look for that mac address on your dhcp server. I came by your post while trying to find a workable solution to assigning the mac on the orangepi zero 512 I am bringing up. Jim

i make this post to ask why my orange pi zero reaches easy 85 degrees with a heatsink applied to it. It is placed in a big case. Maybe the temperature reading is wrong? i check temperature with " armbianmonitor -m and i get: Time CPU load %cpu %sys %usr %nice %io %irq CPU 09:28:26: 480MHz 0.55 28% 4% 23% 0% 0% 0% 86°C 09:28:31: 240MHz 0.51 28% 4% 23% 0% 0% 0% 86°C 09:28:36: 480MHz 0.54 28% 4% 23% 0% 0% 0% 86°C what can i do? I'm actually using the orange pi zero as a flight tracker, which is a very cpu and Wi-Fi intensive task, but i think that 86 degrees are too much!!

I have a small sdcard on an orange pi zero and I would like just to keep it for booting, installing package and doing all work on key usb (16 Go) english is not my mother language and what I have read up to now is very difficult to understand i would like somenthing step by step like the diespi installation tutorial, well I forget to say I have dietpi on my 2Go sd card works fine wifi too. Regards HG

Hi, for the raspi it is possible to add a second SD Card... I was wondering whether armbian brings the necessary kernel modules (mainline) to achieve this functionality? My approach is not speed, I need tight space so a second SD without USB adaptor would be excellent...

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.

Hi, Has anyone succeeded into making the SPI lib working for OPI Zero, i'm having dificulties in using the SPI module, the gpio load spi command does not work either. Thanks.

Hi, I am trying to use Orange Pi Zero. When I connect TTL debug port eveything ok. I can connect Wi-Fi from TTL command prompt. I can make update, download application but I cannot connect with SSH to device over Wi-Fi. But when I bring Orange Pi near to Wi-Fi modem(about 1m) I can connect ssh. I cannot find any solution about this problem. When I use wavemon to check Wi-Fi signal strength, I saw this values; signal level : -40 dbm, link quality: 91/100 If someone help I will be very happy, because I cannot find solution for days. Thanks a lot

Hi! New to the forums, this is my first post. I've been trying out some of the pre-built Armbian images on my Orange Pi Zero to get a taste for the OS and it's perfect for my purposes, however I've noticed something odd about the current mainline images that's possibly a small oversight. I browsed the forums before posting and noticed that TV Out functionality has been disabled by default on H3-based boards due to an interference with HDMI output on mainline, which is naturally understandable. There's only one small problem - the same patch has been applied to H2+ boards which lack an HDMI Out altogether. I've explored the image currently provided (the latest …

I've managed to get tv-out working on Armbian_5.24_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_xenial_3.4.113 with adding module tv to /etc/modules, but goes out of display. How can I change overscan to fit dispay to screen?

Hi, How to enable TV-OUT on Orange Pi Zero in Armbian mainline ( 4.19.20 - 5.75)??? I saw a post from one year ago with a patch that adds an overlay called tve, but is there a more integrated solution by now? Thank you

Hi, I am trying to create some kind of audio streaming server on orange pi zero. I've installed Qt5 and tried to start streaming audio using UDP datagrams.

I am trying to figure out how to make the Orange Pi Zero a USB gadget. Preferably a USB Vendor Device but a mass storage device would work for now. I was able to successfully create the ethernet gadget. (Using Armbian_3.4.112_g_ether_kernel.tar.bz2) That is pretty cool. But I would like the mass storage or vendor device. I was playing around with modprobe but I am not really sure what I am doing. Module g_mass_storage is not found. I have searched this site and online for the last few hours and just got more confused. Thanks for any help.

Hi, I'm trying to interface a USB module via the usb pins (USB-DM2 and USB-DP2 - Pin 3 and 4 on the 13-pin header) and powered by the 5V and GND pin (Pin 1 and 2 on the 13-pin header) on the Orange Pi Zero board. During startup/reboot of the Orange Pi Zero, the module fails to get recognised and come up( output of lsusb and dmesg do not show any usb devices). The module, however gets recognised and works fine when plugged out and back in. Are there any extra steps that I have to take in order to make the module get recognised during bootup? Any help regarding the matter would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi folks, I'm trying to figure out what the current status of USB OTG support is, as applies to the Orange Pi Zero.

Since U-Boot v2025.04 works very well on Orange Pi Zero v3 and has a shorter boot process time, if there was a possibility to switch to U-Boot v2504 for Orange Pi Zero V1, I would be grateful, as would probably other users of this SBC Regards

I've read many posts here and understand the OPi0 wireless chip isn't very well liked. I'm trying to setup hostapd with both client and AP functionality. I can get AP working only if I dedicate wlan0 to it. It seems that virtual devices (eg iw dev wlan0 interface add uap0 type managed; ip link set uap0 up) don't work with the current jessie image, making it impossible to have both AP and client simultaneously. I'm happy to help with testing the driver, but I'm no expert and certainly not knowledgeable enough to code this sort of stuff. If there's any help to be had, I'd be grateful.

CNX-Software just posted that H2 based Orange Pi Zero appeared on Aliexpress for $7. It has been showcased here before, but now is on sale officially, though I can't find 512MB version on the store pages. I'm eager to try 256MB version as my home IoT hub (mosquitto + nginx + uwsgi + Twisted, with MySQL database running on Zyxel NAS). It started with OPi PC then I switched to OPi One but I see it still can be lower spec device.

Hello, Does the wi-fi module of the Orange Pi Zero consume power when I'm not using wi-fi? If it does, can I disable it? My pi zero will be connected to ethernet 24/7 and I don't want it to consume unnecessary power. Thanks.

Hello everyone, I am using Orange Pi Zero LTS 512MB (H3 Cpu) hardware. As an image; I am using "Armbian 22.08 Jammy Kernel 5.15.y, Updated: Sep 24,202". The MAC address changes every time the Wi-Fi is turned on. I tried several different images. I tried a few simple fixes posted on the forums, but only managed to fix it for ethernet. But it was not successful for Wi-Fi. I need an image or solution that does not change the MAC address. Is there anyone who can help with this?

Hi, I'm trying to activate WiFi access point on my Orange Pi that using internet over ethernet cable. On my friend's computer we've flashed and activate Access point on armbian-config menu, but in newer releases of armbian(that i've downloaded yesterday) armbian-config menu doesn't contain such option to activate access point. I want to know how to activate access point in current release, or can i? Thanks in advance.

Anyone know if this is possible?

I have ironed out my OPZ woes and have it working well now along with the Mainline Armbian image. As we may know the onboard wifi is garbage and will not get fixed, however I found a dirt cheap plug and play usb alternative on ebay (or aliexpress.com) using the common (Ralink?) mt7601u kernel driver. As long the dongle matches the photo in the listing it should have the same chipset. It has very low power consumption and at least with my wifi router gets the maximum 10mbit/sec throughput for downloads on my internet connection at a distance of 5 meters. I also added to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf .... blacklist xradio_wlan …

I have the Orange Pi Zero - working using last week's nightly build which has the WIFI intact and I've since updated using the usual apt-get upgrade. The WIFI is awful - wired is fine - I'm using Xenial - nmtui to setup - and I have two issues - despite turning off WIFI power management and being no more than 3ft away from the (new) access point - WIFI is so sluggish you can tell when typing into a terminal!! Also despite what nmtui should do - if I turn off the access point (simulating an issue with say power) and back on, the Orange Pi Zero will NOT reconnect even minutes later without rebooting. Anyone have ideas as to (a) how to improve the WIFI to make it us…

Hello; It was tried with armbian buster, stretch and bionic. Orange pi zero connect wpa/wpa2 networks without problems, but connect to open network. I was trying different methods and wpa_supplicant conf file (key_mgmt=NONE) and different version of armbian. It cannot connect to open network. I need a solution for this problem. Thanks.

With mainline kernel and its xradio module i cant connect to any open wifi networks. I tried wpa_supplicant network-manager and networking but this device just refuse to connect ap's that doesnt have encryption. This problem not related to performance nor coverage so please not say just crappy sources, dont have datasheet etc. and please try to fix this major problem. Thanks..

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

Hello, I think having found a WiFi issue when connecting an Orange Pi zero device to an Access Point device based on the Atheros AR9280 chip. 1 Armbian_5.75_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.19.20 1.1 After installed the last Ubuntu Armbian image nmtui tool doesn't detect the ssid in the list of wifi network 1.2 after sudo apt-get update & upgrade & reboot (-> Armbian v5.75 / Unbuntu 18.04.2LTS / v4.19.25-sunxi) nmtui tool detect the ssid in the list of wifi network I can well connect to this ssid WiFi channel. But the Wifi cnx is disabled if the following case : The ethernet cable is no…

I'm connected to my Orange PI Zero over serial. I have a WiFi connection configured in NetworkManager on the Zero to my home AP/gateway, and it can connect to the internet over it. However: the Zero does NOT reply to ARP requests. I have tried running wireshark on multiple other machines on the same LAN, both wired and wireless, i have run tcpdump on the router, and none of them have EVER seen an ARP reply coming from the Zero. Obviously this means that no machine on the network can discover the MAC address of the Zero, and cannot connect to it... unless... the Zero first connects out. once the Zero has sent a packet to a machine, the machine will …

I just ordered a couple of Orange Pi Zero systems to use in small IoT projects. Reading the forum I see the wireless for Orange Pi Zero might have issues. But some of the posts wanted to use it as an AP. That's not my case, I'll test them when they get here, but just how bad is it? I will not have a heavy load, but I would like something stable. When push comes to shove should I plan on using an Ethernet cable rather than the wifi?

I've set up my new OPi Zero as a wireless AP running the latest Armbian build for the OPi0. It's working mostly great. My one problem I'm having is that my speeds seem to be throttled to 5-6Mbps. I connect wirelessly from my phone and run a speed test and get 5-6Mbps. If I connect directly to my router, I get 30Mbps. I have a Rpi3 set up about the same as the OPi0, and when I connect it up I get the full 30. Each time I've tested with the OPi and RPi, my phone is the only device connected. So, I've poked around online and I can't seem to figure out if it's a hardware limitation or if it's a software/driver/setting limitation. Also, if it's the latter, how/where to…

Hi everyone, I was doing speed tests on the XR819 and started looking at the driver code. My this looks very similar to the cw1200 driver already in mainline Linux. I started modifying the cw1200 driver to try and get it to work with the XR819. Apart from someone renaming functions and adding a bunch of important junk for XR819, the drivers are quite similar. I've modified the cw1200 driver up to the point that it's loading the boot_cw1x60.bin ( boot_xr819.bin ) file, but for some reason the bootloader is returning an error instead of success. I don't think it's possible to diagnose this without the datasheet from ST. Clearl…

Hello everybody, I am running 3.4.113 on my Orange Pi Zero like a charme. Now I was trying to install aircrack-ng-1.2-rc4. I am getting the following error: So I checked on the missing libnl: So for me it looks ok, does anybody have any idea how to fix the error? Thanks for some help

Hi, I just realized that my Orange Pi Zero running Armbian now shows a completely wrong temperature reading using cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp This has not been the case until I updated to Armbian 5.38 by apt upgrade some days ago. Before that the reading was plausible. Not sure which exact version I was running before. I have a cpu temp monitoring script running and just realized that it now gets garbage. At the moment I get a reading of -12°C when outside temp is about 0°C (the OrangePi is in a water proof box outside on my roof). Not a serious problem, but seems to be a bug, so would be nice if it could be addressed :-) . …

HI! Im new to Orange Pi Zero. I want to connect a speaker to my Orange Pi Zero. I went through some websites and forums, there saying that use pin 7 and 8 to speaker.

Hello i'm begginer in programing, but i'm learning slowly. I need use gpio pins in my Orange Pi Zero, but i can't find any library that work with my board. Google is not very usefull for me. I was using RPi.GPIO on my RPi projects, but this library don't work on OPi Zero. Can anyone link to working library for python? I need use only 6 output pins.

Hi, I got my Zero today and installed the legacy jessie server. I need X (for one app) so I followed the same path as I did on my Raspberry Pi running Raspbian lite. sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends xserver-xorg sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends xinit sudo apt-get install xfce4 xfce4-terminal sudo apt-get install lightdm Should TV-OUT (pin 9 (and GND on pin 2) on 1x13 header) work as I do not get anything on my composite monitor?

I just wanted the TV-OUT to see that e…

I have two orange pi zero H2+ boards. Using kernel 3.4 they get very hot, and wlan0 also is not very stable. I upgraded to version 4.11 kernel using Armbian_5.32_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.11.7.img. I was able to have a much cooler orangepi, and also wlan0 appears in iwconfig. I ran "apt update" and "apt upgrade" When I boot the upgraded kernel wlan0 does not appear. I reimaged the sdcard again using the above image, but now wlan0 still is no longer there. I switched to my other orange pi, and wlan0 works. I won't upgrade the kernel and run it on this orange pi. I now have one orange pi with wifi, and one wit…

Hello! I tried to configure built-in wifi module to work as two wifi interfaces at the same time. I had already configured hostapd+dhcpd at the first interface, at the second interface (...iw add interface...) I could scan my home wifi network (wpa2), but I couldn't connect to it (wrong key). I used utilities to connect like wpa_cli, wpa_supplicant, iwconfig, iw. Did anybody done that, I mean is it possible? What i'm doing wrong?

Hello, Is there any conclusion how to het wifi to work on OPi zero? I am on buster. I have disabled wlan power management (at least ifconfig says that "Power Management:off"), I have changed to performance governor, but still. After some period (like 5-20 mins) it drop all connections and become unresponsive (you can't even ping) for some time, and then work again. For short time again. What is really strange, as some point I was able to ping some external hosts from OPi (from session over serial) and at the same time, I could not ping OPi from my laptop. Once I tried to ping my laptop from OPi, then immediately my laptop started to ping OPi…

Dear forum, When looking at the Orange Pi Zero schematic V1.1, the OSC-RTC box is empty. Does this mean that there is no crystal for the internal RTC? The internal RTC cannot be used at all? When just checking the time register, the RTC is running too fast. Thanks, Arjan

I booted up my OPi0 + $2 expansion board this weekend after reading through the doc on it warning about TVout problems. Used the legacy Xenial 5.25 build available. I used the USB-serial method and logged in from my PC via SSH later over WiFi. On the TV there was no desktop GUI display, just the regular login prompts CLI. So this is not a RCA composite cable issue, but likely a display one...my TV is 720p. 1. On the TV I just got the login prompt after the text based Orange Pi Welcome screen. After logging in it stays text, as if I were in Terminal. I tried to install: $sudo apt-get xorg lightdm xfce4 tango-icon…

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 Dear Friends! I'm having trouble using the onboard analog soundcard from my OrangePi Zero +. I already enabled analog-in in armbian-config, but when I try to run some application that uses the sound card, it has an error. In this example I'm trying to use the direwolf app that serves to decode FSK audio. The error also repeats when I try to use svxlink.

Hello, There are two physical USB port on the pi zero+ board : one is USB 2.0 host and the the second one is USB 2.0 OTG through a micro USB connector. As I power the card through the expansion pin I would like to turn the micro USB to a regular mode to connect a DVB dongle. With Armbian 5.38 and Kernel 4.14.14 (and also nightly build) I've done the following modification - in armbian-config enable usbhost0 - modify the /boot/dtb/allwiner/sun50i-h5-orangepi-zero-plus.dtb => decompile the file with dtc => edit the dts file and change the line dr_mode = "peripheral" to "host" => recompile the file and reb…

Hi everyone, I have an armbian 5.38 headless system on an orange pi zero2plus board. Attached to this board there's the expansion usb board with a wifi dongle and another board connected to twi interface of the gpio header. I power supply the board from the same header with a 5V 5A power supply, I verified and I have no holes on 5V and 3.3V voltage. The external usb dongle is configured as AP with nmcli, the internal wifi board is configured as w-station and is hooked to my home network. On this system is running a python-flask-uwsgi "daemon" that I'm developing. Well, randomly my system hangs, I can't connect to my flask web page, I can't connec…

Hi, i have an orangepi zero 2w and tried noble gnome image with the "current" kernel (v6.6.x). I activated the gpu via armbian-config and reboot. Then it stucks somewhere in the booting process. It shows nothing on the screen. If i use the orange pi image instead, i can activate the gpu with orangepi-config, which is a similar tool like armbian-config. The gpu works fine then and has great performance. So it's theoretically possible. Can someone explain to me what the problem is here. If it was a simple port, it would surely have already been done. I tried also the dtb from the orange pi image, but then it also didnt boot up. Th…

Hi. Not so far downloaded the latest available isos for Orange Pi (the very first version) - usb not working - for example for Logitech wireless keyboard or mouse. In the past I've already reported this problem - there was fix. Is it possible to fix again? PS Why there is no separete image for Orange Pi? Why banana pi image? Thanks in advance.

In a brainfart i thought the rpi gpio is compatible with most arm boards. so i took one witch i had laying around and i connected the Raspberry pi DVB-T HAT module (TV uHAT).
