Hi, seems after some system updates SNMP stop reporting data about storage (size/used). It happen on 2x Orange PI One and on one Orange PI PC2. Actually in monitor what I use for SNMP monitoring I see last valid data was there at 05/09. I think at this time I update all boards and as I remmember there was also some update for snmpd. Can anyone confirm this problem ? And when we talk about SNMP, what is best way to change default logging level for SNMP ? Seems changing in /etc/default/snmpd doesnt have effect and after last update I must again edit files in /lib/systemd to stop that annoying flood in log from SNMP. OPI PC2 - 4.…

I was updating some images and thought the Orange Pi + had been retired ... but there was no Support Ended note. I see a lot of other Plus versions of Orange pi boards listed, but not the plain Orange Pi +. Seems easy to miss ;] A little searching found the Orange Pi + is supported https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-plus/ Am I just missing the link in Downloads? The only way I've been able to get to the page is by direct url or a duckduckgo search https://duckduckgo.com/?q="orange+pi+plus"+armbian&t=raspberrypi&ia=web

In the boot file I have found dispmode directive because when installed I used hdmi port to see first boot. Please Help me!

Hi! I successfully set up a headless web server using an Orange Pi PC, and Armbian Stretch (mainline kernel 4.14.y). I installed MySQL, PHP 7, and a custom web application built with Symfony. It is running better than I expected (faster than my local XAMPP). However, I was wondering if it could handle 35-45 visitors/users connected at the same time or not? Thanks!

Hi, I have managed to install u-boot on the spl flash, and it properly runs and detects everything, but i've run into a bit of an issue, while loading the kernel, it gets stuck. To create the usb drive I just cloned the partition of the sd card (not the whole card, just the ext4 partition), I don't know if that can be the issue. here is the full log: https://pastebin.com/jPEkMnYq Any ideas?

Hi all. I installed the latest Armbian on a OPI PC Plus that I have. I want remote desktop and console Desktop. As soon as I install tightvnc the console desktop wont login anymore. I get a pasword box and as soon as I enter it the screen will go black and then reset back to the login box. How do I set it up so I can have remote desktop and console desktop. I tried to install remote desktop for Windows RDP also and that also does not work.

Hello guys, I am experiencing such a problem: When I boot my orangepi it starts and it is visible in the router's page view getting IP with dhcp. As soon as I connect over ssh (at least this is the way to trigger it, not sure if it is hapening automatically after a while), the device disappears from the network and it is no more available! I have seen this behaviour happening on 2 different routers. Then I rebooted the device again and in the router config I put the same IP statically linked to the device and I tried to connect over ssh and it worked without disappearing anymore. So it sounds like a bug somewhere using dhcp protocol. Is som…

Hi, I'm trying to send IR command from a IR led from an Orange Pi, i have it working fine on an Arduino, but it seems that on linux it's a bit more complicated as there are no lib that can control a GPIO with an IR transmitter, it seems that everybody is using LIRC. I see for raspberry pi this needs to be done : EDIT /etc/modules WITH : lirc_dev lirc_rpi gpio_in_pin=23 gpio_out_pin=22 the Orange PI devier module is different, so i do not know how to control it to let it know where the transmitter is. Anybody managed to get this to work ? Thx

Hi gang. I am having a consistent problem changing the board over boot from the SD with the system on any kind of USB attached drive. The drive I want to put it on is a 1t ssb, which otherwise formats fine, over and over again, burns images on it fine (though rpi doesn't like how much power it grabs). But I duplicated the problem with a formatted SD card in a reader in the USB port as well. The same error message appeared. Now I have to say that I have read this post here: to see if there was anything unique to the H3 to accomplish this, but Igor said there to just follow the simple directions at Getting Started, which though dated, still work close…

I have a problem with my wireguard implementation. When connected through it I get lag spikes every few seconds. What might be the cause and solution to this? It is not the internet connection/cable/etc because a raspberry pi running wireguard works fine on the same exact cable, port etc.

Hi, Today I encountered for the second time a strange behavior on my Orange Pi PC running Armbian 5.38 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.14.18-sunxi and decided to ask here. The OPI PC is working properly for a few weeks (one to three, typically) and suddenly I cannot access it via SSH or UART anymore. When trying to connect with SSH, the connection hangs after entering the password and after a while the connection timeouts. Tried SSHing from regular Linux shell and from PuTTY under Windows. I regularly use a key to log in the Opi PC, but it doesn't work, too. Trying to connect with the UART (via minicom in Linux or PuTTY in Windows) …

Hello everyone, As I was looking for to see the cause of not having any free memory left on this BananaPi, I found out that Clamav daemon is using all the free memory (44%), after stopping the service I could again see more free memory. The clamAV was installed I think when I installed apache, mysql using the provided scripts (softy). Is this a normal RAM usage for ClamAV ? Also please can you tell me what I could do to optimize mysql for a low resource server as this, I can see alot of mysql proccesses runing Than k you.

When the system call # /sbin/fstrim --all the process enters intermittent sleep, and all the following processes gradually obtain the same state. In crontab it appears as a task of the # fstrim -v / system, the same command if I do it manually also has the same result of never ending and blocking the other processes little by little until the system is totally blocked. Can it be disabled? As a check that is compatible with the microsd? Any recommendation?

Hello Everyone! Need your help to difficult task. I'm a newbie to micro-computers. Recently installed Armbian on Orange Pi PC Plus (H3), but can't connect to a TVusing HDMI-VGA adapter.

Hi there, I'm using a Cubietruck with Ubuntu-Server 16.04.3 legacy. To make ssh-login more secure I changed to public-key and disabled login with user/password. Everything works fine, but at login I can't see the welcome screen any longer. Not a big problem, but it would be nice to get help. Thx!

After many days spent wondering why is my OPI Zero2w 1.5GB not booting some Armbian images (xfce desktop version for example), I have found there is a "bug" or difference in uboot models 1.5GB + 4GB vs 1GB+2GB. Fix that might work for Zero2w is here https://forum.armbian.com/topic/31654-orange-pi-zero-2w/ (planning to test it soon) Can somebody confirm Opi Zero2W 1.5GB has still this issue with some Armbian images ? Armbian minimal boots without aby issues. Not sure why it works and desktop doesnt.

Hi everyone! Follow instructuions https://linux-sunxi.org/Sunxi-Cedrus to setup hw decoding everyone need kernel with flags: CONFIG_MEDIA_SUPPORT CONFIG_MEDIA_CONTROLLER CONFIG_MEDIA_CONTROLLER_REQUEST_API CONFIG_V4L_MEM2MEM_DRIVERS CONFIG_VIDEO_SUNXI_CEDRUS Images from armbian repo is without one of them - CONFIG_V4L_MEM2MEM_DRIVERS So my proposal is to make kernel for desktop prebuilds with this flag, if its possible ofcourse. Im understand that is opensourse project, so my help can be like that - i have really much space on Y.Drive and i can share folder to minimize download usage of armbian repo.

The FAQ says the username is "root" and the password is "1234", but the password for the root user on at least the image in Lamobo-r1_Debian_3.2_jessie_4.1.2.zip is "pi" (apparently also the default bananian password). edit: nope, I'm just an idiot. The docs are right. Sorry! Don't see a way to delete this topic, but I would if I could.

Hello. My friend and I are comparing performance results with our cubietruck's. I'm using Armbian (Trusty vanilla latest update) and he's using ArmArchLinux. We tested a few dozen phoronix-test-suite tests and most results are the same except one. We both have a fresh OS install with no extras installed. The problem is with the phoronix-test-suite ramspeed integer copy test, I'm getting 812.03MB/s but he's getting 1479.73MB/s. Other ramspeed tests are giving proportionally equal results. What can explain such difference? Is my RAM running slower?

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, i try config NanoPi M1 Plus to CVBS output. What i did: 1. Install legacy image from armbian 5.59 (kernel 3.4.y) 2.

I have installed the latest stable Ubuntu desktop Legacy on BPI M1. The OS boot directly into the GUI. I am planning to use xrdp to remote desktop into OS from windows machine on same network. So I think it will be a good idea that BPI to boot directly into console to save some memory. If I need GUI then I can remotely connect from a windows machine. Is it a good approach? If yes, then how to configure to boot into console with minimum memory footprint.

First, thank you Igor for the wonderful images! I have a cubieboard1 which I haven't played with for a long time. This week I found Armbian and decided to put it on my CB1. I have an HDMI-to-DVI cable, so I connected CB1 to a Dell monitor with 1280x1024 resolution. I tried several of your images for CB1 and they all stuck during boot with blank screen. After several tries, I decided to try on a real HDMI with 1920x1080 resolution. Of course it worked. Did some google search and found out I can change one parameter in the boot.cmd/boot.scr from disp.screen0_output_mode=1920x1080p60 to disp.screen0_output_mode=EDID:1920x1080p60 and it will try to auto select screen re…

Greetings - I'm trying to use the UART2 port (Connector J11 pins 1 and 2) and I'm not having much luck with Armbian 5.0 Vanilla. There are /dev/ttyS0-7 listed, but I get nothing from them (save ttyS0 which is the main console and in use by getty). I found several other articles in here talking about how to expose the GPIO pins, but I could not see how to set the "mode" of them. Any assistance would be appreciated!

hi i have installed armbain on microsd card on banana pi m2+. Pulseaudio via pavucontrol recognized the sound card. Every seems to be ok. But when i tried play radio via rythmbox or play you tube audio voice is very interruped. it does not work in fact, because interruption are very often..... the same problem is with images provident by banana pi team. Only Raspbian MATE images works out of box.

When using armbian-config to select an overlay ("DTO001")e.g. for uart2, one is offered the full names w/ overlay prefix, e.g. sun7i-a20-uart2. The system adds this to armbianEnv.txt: overlays=sun7i-a20-uart2 But it has also the line overlay_prefix=sun7i-a20 In the end, uart2 is not activated (no output from /dev/ttyS1) - after changing the overlay line to overlays=uart2, I can read from /dev/ttyS1. System is Armbian 25.2.2 stable (bookeworm), Armbian Linux 6.12.20-current-sunxi.

After upgrading my Cubietruck with the latest armbian image (Vanilla Debian Jessie) I noticed that command line access is restricted to two parallel consoles (via ALT+F1, ALT+F2, -) only. Is there a way to overcome this limitation? Any remedial hint would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance. By the way, SSH terminal access seems to be possible almost inititely in number.

Hey folks, I'm trying to play back a couple test files, H.264, 720p. These play without dropping frames on the stock Android ROM for a little while but then freeze, seemingly on certain keyframes? It's always in the same place. Anyway, I tried playing them with mpv on Armbian 5.38 desktop install and it drops frames like crazy. I know the stock Android ROM can play back Youtube content (in the app) without dropping frames - it seems like this should be doable based on what I understand about the capabilities of the A20 and on hardware support in the legacy kernel in the Armbian image ... is there tuning I should be doing? Or options for mpv that I can try? I've used VLC f…

AFAIK, from last year, there are some new driver for AXP209/202 PMU for mainline kernel.

I want to use AXP209 PMU for power/energy profiling and consumption study of some SBC such as Banana Pi/Pro and some other Allwinner based SBC as comparison. The question is How i want to know current sampling frequency from PMU and how to change the frequency?

As I told on another topic, yesterday I installed Armbian 5.90 buster 4.19.57 on my OrangePi One. Now, when it boots, all the output text goes to the bottom line of the screen, with each line overwritting the previous one (no scroll). Then it asks for username, and when I type it it asks for password, overwritting the username I typed. And it probably displays the wellcome banner, but I just see the last line of the banner. Once logged, I have to type "clear" and then I can use the full screen, and it scrolls. That happens on the console, if I start a new session from another machine (using PuTTY) it works fine.

Boot from emmc works good when sd is not plugged. uname -a: Linux orangepiplus2e 3.4.113-sun8i #10 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 23 19:55:00 CET 2017 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux Then I pluged sd while system running, erase SD with: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M count=1000 (be careful at this step, use lsblk to detect actual name for sd) Then I created partition on it and formated it to ext4 fs using GParted. I become sytem which boots from emmc, despite inserted sd card. Also, added it to fstab to …

Hello Everyone, At first I'm sorry for my English I started working with Ubuntu server version -> Armbian_5.30_Orangepipc_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113. For my purposes I needed to enable watchdog on my board. It took me a while, but I managed to do it. After setting up whole configuration, and then start stop tests everythink seems to work just fine (watchdog reboot my bord). To finish whole process I wanted to enable wdog to start at boot, but it didnt activate after reset. After some digging in Internet and investigation i figured out that in watchdog.service file one line is missed which was in all other services. So after a…

I have a windows 7 laptop and the A20 cubietruck board with Mainline 4.9.7 Debian Jessie and I need to achieve an ssh connection between them via a wireless router.On cubietruck I have installed opnssh-client and openssh-server and have checked that it listens to port 22. On windows I try with putty to connect to board via ssh. The connection is done , I give username and password but then it freezes and I cannot access any of the folders of the debian. I also tried the mobaxterm but the same result. Does anyone has an idea of what I have done wrong?

I have an Orange Pi Plus 2E I'm using as a cheap desktop computer/kiosk. I want to run Armbian on eMMC but use an SD card for file storage. If I boot off the eMMC, then insert an SD card (formatted as ext4) after boot, the system works well. But if I boot off the eMMC with the SD storage card in the card slot at boot, the CPU load increases and performance lags.

hi! I'm running vanilla cli-version of armbian v4-2 on my olimex lime2. However, decided to run it from a sata-attached hdd to improve speed and durability. the procedure i used is descibed here (and got a lot of help from the creator of the website, thanks!): http://papermint-designs.com/dmo-blog/blog.php?id=3, but i will shortly sum up what i did. flashed the sd with armbian cli image 4-2 let it reboot for it to use the whole card created a 10gb partition for rootfs and swap on the sata drive changed fstab to mount the rootfs on the sata (removed everything but defaults and noatime because system booted in ro-mode otherwise while running from hdd) : #/dev/…

Hello Armbian community. I have tried to start the latest image of Armbian Xenial Desktop on my cubieboard 2 and it does not work. I have exactly the same issue as this previous issue:

Hello. When my orange pi zero is booted, Pin16,18(PA19,PA18) seems to record high value(3.3v) I want the pins to stay low. In the dtb file, PA18 and PA19 are assigned to i2c1 and i2s0. But in the /boot/armbianEnv.txt file those overlays are not enabled. Can someone please help me how to keep ping 16 and 18 low at t he boot time?

Hello! In order to compile software on my Banana Pi running Armbian 5.27 Debian 8, I started off uncommenting the "# deb-src" lines in /etc/apt/sources.list and then ran apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. The start screen in the shell would then ask me to reboot as the kernel was updated. But after the reboot there was no AppleTalk anymore to serve my old devices. Compiling a newer Armbian with an up-to-date version of Debian is of no use to me as I run software (A2SERVER) that is incompatible with newer systems. So how can I upgrade my system without loosing AppleTalk (which I configured as a kernel module when compiling two years ago)? …

I am using a system I built from the trunk of Armbian for the pine64so. After booting up the mouse does not do "smooth mouse tracking". The movement of the mouse lags behind where it should be and has to "catch up" which takes several seconds. I consider it unusable doing this.

Hi, my problem is that I can't figure out why doesn't wifi access point doesn't show up, after setting up neither with Config utility from the desktop, neither manually from the website documentations help. What am I missing here? First, the Config utility that I'm using it asks me to reboot every time I set it up successfully, but after reboot it doesn't appear anywhere, neither my smartphone won't find the ARMBIAN connection. Second, I tried the way it is documented on the websites help section on how to set up an access point. I've changed the required files with nano, copied and nothing. I haven't used wired internet con…

Hi, every one: I installed Armbian Xenial desktop legacy kernel 3.10.y on my OPI win plus , it's good. (At least, Bluetooth, WIFI and Ethernet are good). But after i execute "apt upgrade",The bluetooth is fault. So, I tried to freeze the kernel upgrades, and hold "armbian-firmware"package, then run "apt upgrade", All do not work. However, when i insert a BT-dongle(USB), this dongle is functional. So I think there is a bug in some package, please help me to solve.

Hello, I want to use a 595N serial shift IC with my cubietruck over SPI. I tested it with a raspberry pi and it worked.

Hi all, I'm currently running Armbian 5.36 Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 4.11.1-sun50iw2. This was / is a local armbian build that I performed a few months ago to resolve an issue that I saw at that time in the network stack that prevented ipsec working correctly. I've performed apt update / apt upgrade since however cat /proc/version still reports the version as that which I manually built back in June. Fast forward to today and I'd like to try out some traffic shaping tc rules but I'm running into some difficulty, which is making me doubt if my kernel has the support needed for iproute2. The following works without any issue to list existing rul…

Hi, I installed the main line kernel for Banana Pi and connected a USB/Wifi dongle. The device connects correctly to the wireless network but becomes unreachable after a while. When the issue occures and I try to ping the device, it answers the first ping and then becomes unreachable, via Wifi interface but also via the ethernet interface. I can wait for an hour or so, then I can do a ping (only one) then the device becomes unresponsive. I have to restart the device (power on/off) in order to be able to connect via ssh, but I can work for a few minutes only, then network goes down again. I don't have a screen to connect to the…

I'm running a fresh installation of Armbian 20.11 Focal with Linux 5.8.16-sunxi on NanoPi Neo board with Allwinner H3. root@nanopineo:~# uname -a Linux nanopineo 5.8.16-sunxi #20.08.14 SMP Tue Oct 20 22:15:32 CEST 2020 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux The problem is that MAC address changes on every boot. This is very problematic for systems where an IP is assigned by DHCP based on MAC address table. I have two important questions: 1) Why MAC address is not generated based on processor unique ID? This seems to be the most sensible solution. 2) What part of code/startup script is assigning the random MAC address? Unfortunatelly I was not a…

Hi The question is maybe trivial but I'm not sure how are numbered pins on the Orange Pi Plus 2 board. On the board is a triangle/arrow directed to an one pin. Is it no. 1? Thank you in advance. Wojciech

Hi there, I've been trying for a few hours now to get the GPIOs working with the mainline kernel (ARMBIAN Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 4.5.2-sunxi). According to the board layout photo, I am using PG0, PG1, PG2 and PG3. With the legacy kernel, they export as GPIO1-PG0 a.s.o. accordingly and work perfectly. So I calculate the GPIO pin number: G is 7th letter, 7 - 1 is 6, 6 * 32 is 192. GPIO192 exports fine, I can set it to output, change the value to 1 but there's no voltage! Can anyone help me, please?

Hallo, I use Armbian for some time now, usually I can solve all problems myself. Recently, one of my boards has gone bad (or mad?). I started using this particular board on 10/11/2016. Installed Armbian (5.20) from images available on that day. Everything went nice, no problems, pretty much no load for whole days. On 20/12/2016 something began to use 1 core of CPU. No idea what. On 23/12/2016 board stopped responding completely. I haven't accessed/used system from 20/12/2016 so I was not aware of problem. I turned it off later. I removed SD card from board and used with other OrangePi One just fine. But this board behaves strange. I re-installed Armbian and it se…

Hi you all. I'm trying for a couple of day now to solve an annoying problem with the USB and some Bananapi M2 zeros. I have two cluster-hats with 4 Bananapi M2 zeros as nodes. The cluster hat presents itself as a USB gadget (USB ethernet interface) to the nodes allowing networking between the controller and the nodes. The nodes work fine with kernel 5.9.8, the modules identify the hat as a network interface and everything works as expected. My trouble is that I'm creating new images for the nodes (bananapi m2 zero) from here, the nodes boots, but it seems like the OTG port is not behaving as expected. Followed instructions from these posts:…

Hello. During the Italian pandemic lockdown I am building a mini cluster with some boards that I have found in my house. I have three OrangePi and one Nanopi Fire3. I assembled them in a box and I connected them via ethernet. I connected the monitor on a OrangePi One plus. The keyboard and mouse are on a blouetooth usb key. I would like to have all Armbian (for the reasons that you all know!). I installed all SD with Armbian Images. Every SBC has the text file with fixed ip parameters. All the network files (etc/network/interface) are well written and in the local network all Armbians are pinging each other ones. I reach them via SSH and they talk with the one that has th…

Hello to everyone! I am trying to configure dual boot using u-boot. But I've got some misunderstandings, maybe someone will help me with that problem.

Hello Everybody, Iḿ using a Cubietruck (Cubieboard3) I ve tried to install the Jessie Server and the Xenial Server with the vanilla Kernel. Both effords failed. The bootprocess from SD Card starts, but it dosen t come to an end. The following things happen: In the beginning there is a short warning regarding mmc. After that the bootprocess starts, but then the message "Running /script/local-block..done" appers many times. Then there is another error message and the process starts from the beginning. Details in the picture. I don t think that the SD Card or the Cubieboard is the problem, because the Jessie Server with the legacy kernel and the old cubian are…

I'm trying to stream audio from my windows pc to a orange pi running `ARMBIAN 5.30 stable Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS 3.4.113-sun8i`, in the verbose output in the pc and in the orange pi shows that the connection has been stablished but it gets refused right after with no "explanation". I'm following intructions from this thread, it shows how to add the tcp protocol to pulseaudio in the orange pi and on the windows machine the audio is captured with linco and it streams with plink (putty command line interface). Why the connection would be refusing to stay connected? PS: in the installation process `/etc/default/pulseaudio` didn't exist after pulseaudio installation, but as i…

Hi, I started using pinebook armbian buster when it was beta, it worked. From that beta I upgraded yeysterday and I see no display (LCD) after kernel starts (I only see the boot). The same using a new official image [1] I know there is another places to track this issue [2], but the thing is that in the official image page [1] it says it is fully working and that is not true. There are two options: - changing the status to something beta (like before) so you are less responsible of problems - putting an image that works [1] https://www.armbian.com/pinebook-a64/ [2] https://armbian.atlassian.net/browse/AR-443
