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.

Hello After trying (unsuccessfully) several linux distributions on an orange pi plus 2e, I was happy to find the jessie desktop, which accepts wireless keybord and wifi or ethernet connection with no need of further command line. The only problem: no sound. Could somebody help with that?

Hi Sometimes after heavy disk writes like disk speed test (iozone) or database writes or install new packages the file system get read only and I not able to run any command even reboot and I have to disconnect power. My pi is a orange pi pc (H3) and I installed a relatively cheap micro sd card on it.

Hi, my new OPI zero arrived today. I downloaded and installed armbian (Armbian_5.24_Orangepizero_Debian_jessie_3.4.113) and updated everything apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get dist-upgrade Finally I tried to connect to my wlan (FritzBox 7390, 2,4Ghz, WPA2) via nmtui. After a while I get the message: Could not activate connection: Activation failed I tried to connect to my Smartphone via hotspot instead and that worked fine. Both networks are using WPA2 encription and other settings in both WLAN settings are looking identical... Did I miss something? I uploaded my armhwinfo log here Marcel

My own LAN works, dns server works too, so i can connect to the orangepi+ but i can't make nat working. Is there some known issue about it, or a custom tutorial for nat with this build? thanks for help

Hi, in the last weeks I'been trying to use the serial ports 5 and 6 (tty5, tty6) of the cubieboard2 using DTB but still not working. First of all, I must said that i'm not a linux expert, only a linux user with some experience and all the information below is the result of multiple weeks of internet research. for the moment i'm able to get the cubieboard2 to recognize the ports, and using a c++ program I write on all serial ports, i get a response from tty0 but can't get the gio pins of the serial ports 5 and 6 to work. here is what I have done so far: first, I downloaded the device tree compiler sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler then, nav…

Hello everyone, I have purchased an OPI PC + with intent to use it as a reciever for OGN, a network of recievers used for monitoring FLARM position info of equiped aircraft. http://wiki.glidernet.org/ I have flashed the Legacy 3.4.112 Jessie Desktop image first to the sd card and then installed it to the internal memory of the device. All went smoothly thus far. Then I ran into the problem that is the reason I am posting this thread. When I ran the bootscript for the installation of the OGN software, I got the following error message in the console: Bootscript source: http://ognconfig.onglide.com/ root@orangepipcplus:/home/andrej# wget http://ognconfig.…

Dear friends, my orange pi plus 2 was working properly Armbian but now it does not recognize the wifi nor the internet cable. I did not make any changes to the system. Does this solution solve this problem? If I decide how to install these files on the card?

So when I ssh into Armbian on the OPI PC, I see the cpu temperature at 50 degrees Celsius, and the number is red (in the "header"). Should I be worried about that? 1 core is constantly at 70% (this Mycroft is a bit resource hungry), while other cores are at 1% in htop. Thanks for the help in advance! Awesome distro btw!

I have Orange Pi PC connected via HDMI to a Samsung SyncMaster T220HD with 1680 x 1050 at 60 Hz. Currently Armibian defaults to 1280 x 1024 and edges are outside the screen. What can I do and which configuration I edit to get better results?

I bought an Orange Pi PC "Set 9" that came with ribbon camera module (total 20 eur) to compare with Raspberry 3. After finally getting it to take a picture using fswebcam I find the images very low quality. Most passable without any extra lighting is 640x480. 800x600 and 1600x1200 produce nearly black images. Using Raspberry 3 with similarly priced chinese camera produce much better images with lower lighting. Am I missing something or is the camera quality this bad in comparison? I usually expect OK results from "chinese clones" but this is really. The best image I could get was: sudo fswebcam -r 640x480 --fps 25 -p YUV420P cam.jpg

So I have a nanopi m1 and a neo. I'm running Ubuntu Xenial on them: https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-neo/ I'm attempting to access the gpio, when I attempt to echo to /sys/class/gpio/export I get permission denied (sudo or not, even if logged in as root). I've also found this library for python to handle gpio on the nanopi: https://github.com/jrspruitt/FriendlyARM_Python_GPIO But when I use it, it says: as root root@nanopineo:/home/admin# python test.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 7, in <module> gpio.gpio_init(16, 1) File "build/bdist.linux-armv7l/egg/fgpio/fgpio.py", line 85, in gpio_init File "build/…

Hi, I bought nanopi_neo boards (for my hobby projects). I am learning about security. I am able to dump e-Fuse area at uboot stage. But i can't modify it (i want to write my own key). I don't have any memory map information of e-fuse. In present boards, bootROM is not verifying the uboot signature(RSA sign:-)). 1) How to enable signature verification in bootROM? 2) Is there any code or information regarding BootROM security and e-Fuse area mapping? 3) Is there any support of TEE (Trusted execution environment)?

I was sort of disappointed with my RPi 2 VPN performance, which is about 2.5MiB/s while normal traffic can easily exceeds 5.5MiB/s. So I setup same VPN config on OPi One and run the test. The speed is impressive which is well above 5 MiB/s but it could only last about 10s before the box reboots itself. I can see one cpu core is occupied 100% by softirqd ( about 80% on RPi 2). My kernel version is 3.4.112 and StrongSwan version is 5.3.3. Don't have further information yet. When I get a chance to hook up serial console, I may collect more info.

Hi All, I would appreciate if someone can guide me on how to change the I2C speed? I'm using a OPI PC+ and the default speed is 400Khz when using the "IOCTL" method and would like to change to the standard 100Khz speed. Thank you

I know the A20 isn't really build for OC, but I would still like to do some tests with it running at 1008Mhz. As far as I understand Kernel 4.X doesn't use the fex files anymore, but rely on the dts (dtsi) files. I edited sun7i-a20-bananapi.dts &cpu0 { cpu-supply = <&reg_dcdc2>; operating-points = < /* kHz uV */ 1008000 1425000 960000 1400000 912000 1400000 864000 1350000 720000 1250000 528000 1150000 312000 1100000 144000 1050000 >; }; I made sure the build script doesn't overwrite the edited dts file.

Hello guys, I have an annoying issue with my OPiPC where I simply cannot get HDMI output. I am certain it is not a hardware issue! My OPiPC works fine with HDMI output & android. I have tried a known good HDMI->DVI-D adapter with various settings, and direct HDMI connection with various settings. It is a fresh install of Armbian 5.20 with apt-get update & apt-get upgrade. I have tried a plethora of h3disp settings and direct bin2fex configs! What could be wrong? Here is the current setup I am testing, which I would like to get working: -LG W1942TQ ( 1440x900 native ) -Working HDMI cord and HDMI->DVI-D adapter Interesting bits of the fex file…

hi, I have an OPI pc with armbian (legacy kernel), plan to set it as NAS. due to it has 4 USB ports without internal hub, so I decide to connect 3 USB HDD to it, and create a LVM+RAID5. but unfortunately, OPI pc can only recognize 2 USB HDD(any 2 of these 3 USB hdd), at any USB ports, the 3rd USB HDD can be found by lsusb but stops at "spinning up...." no /dev/sdc. but if I insert an USB disk, (with 2 USB HDD already inserted), it can be recognized and /dev/sdc is created. I guess whether there is a power supply issue. can this be fixed by USB HDD with additional power supply? is that right?

Hello I'm using OPI PC+ and tried to figure out some free gpio to play with it. Taking a look at forums/etc there are formula to calculate current GPIO number according to this https://linux-sunxi.org/GPIO and some posts here, there is a formula: (position of letter in alphabet - 1) * 32 + pin number so can someone explain me how pin 38 (PG6) becomes GPIO 198? calculation back from the formula point letter F

I'm trying to figure out why Firefox-esr crashes form time to time on my Olinuxino-Lime A20. I also have a Banana PI (also A20) and on that board Firefox never crashes. On both boards I use the legacy kernel, and I use uBlock adblocker on both boards. The Olinuxino has 512 MB RAM and the Banana Pi 1 GB. Googling around I found out that crashreports could be viewed on "about:crashes" or on ~/.mozilla/firefox/crashes. However, there is no such file. Do youi have any suggestions on where to find crashreports? Thanks in advance and much appreciation for your continuous work on the Armbian distribution!

I'm trying to get audio out work on Orange Pi Lite using HDMI. aplay -l lists sndhdmi as card #1 and I have set it up as default in ~/.asoundrc. aplay -v shows it being used, but my AV receiver doesn't recognise the Pi nor output any sound. The same cable & receiver works fine with e.g. Macbook Pro. Should the HDMI audio output work in the legacy Jessie server image for OPi Lite? If yes, how could I debug more why it doesn't seem to work?

Hello, I'm using Armbian 5.20 on my Orange Pi. Everything is working as it should except for the subtitles in MPV. I already upgraded to a newer version of MPV VDPAU which makes no difference so i went back to the orignal MPV and VDPAU. The problem is that at intermittent times the subtiles display over each other. It seems that the first subtitle which should have been gone according to the srt is still being displayed under the newly displayed subtitle. Have anyone encountered this problen and is there a solution to this problem?

So I thought I had a stable system with my OPI PC the 4.7.3-sun8i kernel (for BTRFS support), but the OOM killer keeps silently triggering. I can see it on the serial term and in the logs. So I have done some troubleshooting. I added the following t /etc/sysctl.conf: vm.swappiness=10 # try a value that will actually use the swap vm.min_free_kbytes=64000 # ensure that some memory is always available, held back from file caching. vm.oom_kill_allocating_task=1 # kill the offending task that requested the memory and not the task with the most memory to give up to see if there is an obvious trigger culprit. So, what I found is that the systems memory usually looks…

Hi all. I build Armbian for "orangepipcplus" as described here: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ After build finished, I've got Armbian_5.24_Orangepipcplus_Ubuntu_xenial_3.4.113.img image, flash it to SD card, and my OPi starts well, thanks! All things that necessary for my work tasks - works fine: USB, USB OTG, WiFi, but... no Ethernet :-( When I plug Ethernet cable into my PC and OPi - no LED blinks at both sides (but Ethernet on PC 100% works, tested with Raspberry Pi, for example).

Hi, I have a orange pi pc plus, and i want to use a PN532 NFC module with Uart. At first, i need to enable uart and i have found this docs : https://docs.armbian.com/Hardware_Allwinner/ , but i think i miss something. My kernel version is 4.9.0, so i follow Vanilla kernel (Device Tree) explanations. What i understand is i need to modify "sun8i-h3-orangepi-pc-plus.dtb" in /boot/dtb. I try to do it, but i surely do something wrong, because my pi didn't boot anymore, so i flash the sd card. Before remaking any modification i prefer to be certain, do i really need to modify this files? And in particular this lines? /*Part of the files (Uart0 and Uart1)…

hi, I made a program on Orange pi minus (kernel 3.X)using wpa_supplicant for wifi direct. That worked fine (basically). But i have been asked to do it on Orange pi plus with Kernel 4.9. The wifi works when i using nmtui, but when i made a iw list i couldn't find my material and i am not able to configure P2P. I think the problem is the kernel version and not the Hardware because my card with kernel 3.X works on orange pi pc plus. So i am a bit lost, what can i do ? My guest is to modify the realtek module ? I am not sure if i am on the right direction... Thanks, Ps: Sorry for my english.

Hi all, Today my second OPi arrived, a +2E. I already have an OPi PC which is working like a charm. So I ordered a +2E as well. I have an older monitor (Dell 2007WFP) with DVI connector and a native resolution of 1680x1050. From previous experience from the OPi PC, I know that I had to run the 'h3disp' tool to set up this resolution and to make it work via an HDMI-DVI cable. So I connected my new +2E through a normal HDMI cable to my 1080p TV, installed Armbian (Jessie desktop, with legacy kernel), updated to the latest release through 'apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade' and after a reboot ran 'h3disp -m 36 -d', just as I had with the OPi PC. After r…

I bough an Orange Pi PC set 9 which came with a camera ( https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orange-Pi-PC-set-9-Pi-PC-and-Camera-with-wide-angle-lens-not-for-raspberry/32662572137.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.dIEdek ) After setting up armbian running etc. how do I do something with the camera (ie to see it works)? I have used raspberry and there I just type "raspistill -d" and a demo pops up. How do I do something like that? After browsing around I found that "modprobe gc2035" is along those lines but I only get "command not found". Doing a linux find does not find "modprobe". I reckon I have to install something else but what?

I'm trying to build an A2DP server from either OPi Lite or Zero (whichever seems easier). As neither board has BT built-in I'm planning on using some cheap USB BT dongle. Web stores are filled with dongles, but info about their compatibility with Linux (and especially Armbian's legacy kernel) is not that readily available. Has anyone found a dongle that "just works" with OPi Lite or Zero? If yes, care to share e.g. Ali Express link or similar?

I tried the 3.4.112 on Pi One and 3.4.113 on Pi Zero. Both have the same problem which is that no unicast packets are flowing into the macvlan device when I run tcpdump on it. The device was created like this: ip link add link eth0 address 1E:74:C0:DC:BB:01 vlan mtu 1500 type macvlan I can see inbound broadcast and multicast packets though. Outbound packets also seem fine. I can see arp request and ICMP request (if set static arp entry on PI) from the other end. Does anybody have any clue what it could it?

I have an OPi PC+ running Armbian. Bought an RTC called "DS3231 for Pi" and connected the 3.3V, ground, SDA and SCL pins to the GPIO connector. Ran "sudo i2cdetect -y 0" and it prints a table with "UU" in position 0x68. Ran "hwclock -w -f /dev/rtc1" and the response was "bash: hwclock: command not found" I looked in a subdirectory of /etc/ and found fake_hwclock and hwclock.sh Can anyone tell me what is wrong? Perhaps I should have modified something else before running hwclock? Thanks...

Hi. The following happened. When power is suddenly cut off in emmc, the file contents created by fopen (), fprintf (), fflush()　and fclose () are not saved after rebooting. It seems that it has not been physically written out while being cached. If display the file before cutting off the power, the contents are correctly saved. In addition, if it is normally reboot it is saved correctly.

Hi all, I have no luck to get wifi work on NanoPi M1 with the usb dongle RLT8188CUS. I have followed the tutorial "OPI ONE wireless success" to config. But, I don't see any "wlan0" or wifi device at all with the usb dongle plugged in. "nmtui" does not detect any wifi device as well. It appears to me that, although armbian recognizes the usb dongle, armbian does not treat it as a wlan0 device. I very appreciate if anyone can give me some suggestions to diagnose and fix I am using armbian-jessie-server, kernel 3.4.113, jessie 5.23.

I'm trying to use 1080p60 with a DVI-HDMI cable on an Orange Pi One so I run h3disp -m 1080p60 -d and restart. Monitor shows randomly moving white lines on both sides of the display (probably the console text all garbled) for a few seconds then goes to sleep. Tried with a TV (using an HDMI-HDMI cable) and it cycles between Unsupported Mode and No Signal. 1080p without the DVI flag works on the TV but the monitor doesn't even come out of sleep with it. Other resolutions seem to work fine with the DVI flag on the monitor, including 720p and 1080i. The monitor also works fine with a 1080p output from a PC.

Hey guys, I have a Banana Pro and recently switched to Armbian from Bananian. I boot from an HDD connected to the SATA port on bpi. Apparently the root fs is supposed to get resized to the max size(1TB in my case) during the first boot. But, well, it didn't work for me.. so instaed of 1TB I had 1.5 GBs. I wiped the partition in fdisk and created a new one using the old starting block(2048) but leaving the end to default. Result: I now have all the space available to me but everytime I log in it still says "90% of 1.5G". Why doesn't it scale?I know this is kinda ridiculous but I'm a perfectionist haha. ____ ____ _ ____ …

Dear All, I am just trying to figure how to enable the UART3 to be a 4 wire serial port for Lamobo R1 board.

I've been trying to get the TV out from my OPI-PC Plus for a while, but nothing is working The pre-installed Android OS on the emmc outputs to the TV just fine, so it's not a cable/tv problem I've tried both Armbian and some distros found on the OPI forums, but nothing worked. I messed with the script.bin, using http://linux-sunxi.org/Fex_Guide as a guide, but it didn't work I'm using a 64GB Samsung Class 10 card, but I've also tried other cards and it didn't work It works when using HDMI though Here's my script.bin (I'm pasting only the relevant part) I'm running the lastest version of armbian (5.20) What should I do now?

Hello I'm using OPI PC + with 8GB external SD card. I detected a strange bug. I was using nand_sata_install.sh script to install Armbian to emmc card. So far so good, I was messed with configuration and decided to start over. Wrote fresh image into SD card and power up. So far so good until I rebooted. System boot up from EMMC instead from external SD card. When reboot again it start from SD card. I was wondering WTF is happening. Thinking about system is somehow confused so I delete emmc card partition. Now even with fresh install it boots one time from SD card, on second reboot it fail too boot (because I erased emmc), when restart again it boot from SD ............…

First, thanks to the developers for creating a system that works very well, much better than the official distros. The question is if you could add to repositories Amule and their add-ons: Amuled, amule common, amule-utils and Gnome-support. Thank you.

Hi Everyone. I have an Orange Pi One and I can use the micro USB (otg) port as a standard USB port - I can plug in a memory stick or USB speakers and it works fine. Is it possible to have the same functioniality with the OPI Zero? I tried and it does not work - I am powering the board through the GPIO header. Even if I plug in USB speakers that have an LED indication - no LED lights, so I guess no power. I looked at the fex file from the OPI One and could not see the difference there in the OPI Zero. I know it is in beta, so I do not expect it straight away, but it would be good to know if it is possible Thanks for any help. J

Is there a Xenial image for NanoPi M1, or a way to “easily†build one ?. I see here https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-neo/ that there is a Xenial image for NanoPi Neo. I am asking because I would like to run HQPlayer's Network Audio Adapter on my NanoPi M1. And this doesn't run on Debian Jessie legacy as it needs libstdc++6 (>=5.2), but it does run on a NanoPi Neo with Xenial. Any advice appreciated. Thanks

Talking about this -> https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/commit/cdc02f678620d6dba6c9e4ebc60884fc54c6dfc6 Dont know if anyone else noticed it, but after applying this I got about 10% lower CPU temp. (from 75 ro 67) in OPi/H3 under the same heavy workload with same performance! If there has not been any other temperature modificatioin done then this thumb2 change is definitively towards the right direction. Kudos guys!

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.

Hello I was wondering how can make possible usage of software raid1, using integrated emmc and another card placed into the slot. So far I have used that on Slackware x86 without any issue, but there I tells the Lilo to boot from /dev/md0 for example. Wonder where I should make adjustments here (in Armbian(. Can someone point me at the right direction?

Hey there So I was planning on using the OPZero on a robot that I had already made, which took use of SPIdev, and it was doing calls to the spidev driver in C. Now I noticed that the OPZero has 2 SPI channels, one for the NOR flash (Which isnt populated) on the back and another that goes to the GPIO headers on the device. Now I ran my script, and turns out that /dev/spidev0.0 is actually writing SPI commands to the rear SPI channel. This is apparenly SPI0 according to the schematics. Now following the schematics again, I want to access SPI1, which currently does not exist as a spidev file. I tried "modprobe spidev" to bring up the extra interface, but sadl…

I just got two Orange Pi Zero systems today and want to create a couple of IoT devices along with the two NanoPi Neo systems I got recently. Performance does NOT have to be ideal, just reasonable (not going to game on it or watch action movies). The Zero means HDMI is not an option; given that, what interface is best - …

Hello all, just joined the forum since this is my first time using Armbian. So I got a NanoPi M1 and the dvp cam500b. From what I understand this camera uses the omnivision ov5640.

I got Armbian (Jessie desktop) working on Orange PI PC. I did "sudo apt-get update" and then "sudo apt-get upgrade" and everything was ok until it said "Compiling headers (please wait)." It has now been on this step for a very, very long time. Is it stuck or does this take a ridiculously long time to complete? Should I shut it down and start over or keep waiting? The green light is staying on steady.
