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

I have question. OZPI v3 has support for hardware DS18B20 thermal sensor via w1-gpio ? In armbian-config when we got to the “system” section and select “Hardware” is not existing w1-gpio or OZPI v3 has not support for w1-gpio hardware ? Does not work because there is no device tree file (in the /boot/dtb/allwinner/) and we need to create it ??? like for OZPI v2 ?: 1.

Which is the correct overlay to specify for libcamera support for the Arducam IMX219? I am assuming this would go into /boot/armbianEnv.txt ? The packages libcamera0.3 libcamera-tools libcamera-v4l2 installed properly, however, all examples on the net apply to PIs and not the OrangePiZero... Thanks in advance.

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 want to use uart on 500000 baudrate. Before i had used it with ARMBIAN 5.32. But i had some problems about board temperature. So, i updated it brand-new image. it was 5.38. and then some packet are crashing or missing frequently. I used same program for this test. I only counted received packets. It works fine with ARMBIAN 5.32 user-built Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS 4.11.7-sun8i Received packets are 4500000. But, it doesn't with ARMBIAN 5.38 stable Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS 4.14.18-sunxi Received packets are 4504376. I also checked configuration using "setserial". the differece was only irq num…

Hi, I'm running armbian ubuntu image 4.13.14-sunxi64 on Orange Prime, and have a problem. Wifi wont work.

I need to attach some devices via spi and i2c to an orange pi zero but would like to keep it in its original case. Just soldering a few wires to the gpio pins and drilling a hole in the case isn't really an option. I am looking for a nice and clean way. Browsing through AliExpress looking for connectors has not revealed any suitable options so far. I already thought about adding an 2.54mm 2x26 Pin Male Double Row Right Angle Pin Header and cut a suitable hole to the case but I guess it would protrude too much. Which connector do you recommend? It should have at least 4 contacts. Has anyone modified the case and added some small connectors? Photos? Lookin…

Hi all! Please excuse my noobness. It's my first day on Armbian + Orange Pi Zero. Until now I was using Raspbian + RPi Zero W but I could not find related docs for what I was doing so far on the previous platform. My goal here is quite simple: being able to connect my OPi through OTG (ether) and enable the RNDIS interface on my macOS. Already tried several tips and configuration snippets I've found around, which led me to this stage: The USB0 is up and configured: 3: usb0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether ee:95:f9:4f:6c:28 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet…

I have searched the forum and the internet and am having a lot of trouble finding a guide on how to covert the OTG on my OrangePi One to a USB port. (I am assuming it is possible to do.) I believe the current configuration for the OrangePi One is one usb and a OTG. I would also Like to be able to use the OTG as a USB port when I run OpenElec as I would like the second USB to plug in the new Optional Bluetooth dongle. Seasalt

Hi all After having used a lot the OPiPC2 with Armbian, I am now adding support for this board in openwrt. The first add board patch, has been merged recently in snapshot branch and works ok. For the first implementation I set the MUSB port role to host, but now my goal is to set it in OTG, making this port available for usb serial console, connecting a host PC to it. So, I built the needed support for g_serial in kernel and give a try, but I cannot make it work The host PC detects just nothing, as the OpiPC2 does not detect a USB host being connected to it Checking the dmesg I see something suspicious: [ 0.614423] sun4i-usb-phy…

Hi All, I have some freeze behaviour when trying to update nano pi neo 256M. Apr 28 03:39:52 armbian kernel: [81490.237968] Out of memory: Kill process 18786 (apt-updates) score 55 or sacrifice child Apr 28 03:39:52 armbian kernel: [81490.237989] Killed process 18786 (apt-updates) total-vm:42264kB, anon-rss:32336kB, file-rss:0kB In normal state the swap seems to be ok I did "free -m" about 33% max of memory use in normal time "df -h" show to 71% use max of sd card But when apt-get update, it slow down boards when it arrives at 97%..... sometimes at 73%

I think I know the answer to this but I'll ask anyways. Is there any command line software out there (e.g., VLC) that I could put onto an Armbian Server Edition version that would show a movie out on the HDMI port? I have a NanoPi M1 that has a HDMI port. But I'm assuming that without all the Desktop video driver, it isn't possible to do this on a headless server.

Hi evryone. I try to load camera module ov2640 using modprobe and get following error: root@orangepione:~# modprobe -v ov2640 insmod /lib/modules/3.4.113-sun8i/kernel/drivers/media/video/soc_camera.ko modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'ov2640': No such device Do you have any ideas how can solve this problem?

I have the gc2035 camera working on my Orange Pi One running Armbian, but I need a better image sensor. I've had a quick attempt to get an ov5640 working without any luck. It is a popular 5Mpixel module similar to the RPi camera. I know that 'Sitheek' on the Orange Pi forums had it working. However, that place is a ghost town now and Sitheek has not visited since January. So, I wonder if anyone here has got an OV5640 camera working, or failing that, could just offer some pointers on how to go about this? Thanks.

I haven't had any luck getting the ov5640 camera module working with the nanopi air. I have compiled the latest dev version of bionic and enabled the ov5640 as a module in menuconfig. I currently cannot get it showing up under /dev/video* Any ideas?

Hi guys, I have just completed to build my "development workspace" including OpenCV, Qt5 and working OV5640. I've noticed that people reach about 30 fps of the frame rate using VGA/QVGA resolution. Datasheet says about 120 FPS for QVGA and 90FPS for VGA. I was working with this camera chip on STM32Fx and I got much better results than OPI0+ Is it weird, it is? I am wondering what is a limitation to get better performance and quality on this camera. I plan to write drivers myself, however I want to be sure it is only driver limitation. Any advice will be appreciated.

Dear friends! Please help me! What am I doing wrong? I have Orange Pi Pc Plus.

Hi, my overlays=w1-gpio spi-spidev are not working anymore since I upgraded from 4.14.84-sunxi to 4.19.13-sunxi (Banana Pi with armbian 5.70). Regarding the 1-wire protocol cat /sys/bus/w1/devices/*/w1_slave responds "No such file or directory" since the upgrade. Also regarding the spi overlay # ls /dev/spi* should result in /dev/spidev0.0 whereas kernel 4.19 says "cannot access /dev/spi*: No such file or directory". All was working fine with the 4.14 kernel. thanks in advance

Hello I have an issue with my HDMI display. Some of the desktop is out of screen. This is about 3% or 15px all around the screen. Changing resolution from 1080p down to 720p and down to 800x600 doesn't fix the borders. Armbian-config allows me to edit the booting environment. Atleast these lines won't work: disable_overscan=0 .... this can also be 1 with no effect overscan_x=-30 overscan_y=-30 .... these can also be positive with no effect also overscan_top, overscan_bottom, overscan_left and overscan_right don't work Only line that changes something is the one with resolution: disp_mode=800x600p60 I don't have zoom on this display or I have l…

Hey all, Sorry for the noob question, I posted this in another topic but it hasn't seen any action so I thought I would make a post. I have an Orange Pi PC, using the RetroOrangePi build which is based on Armbian. I'm having overscan issues on my 720p TV. I checked the options on the PC, there's no way to fix it there. They figured it out in this topic here (where I initially asked this question): The solution is to add code to u-boot in order to solve the overscan, or edit boot.cmd. My question is, will using u-boot be the best solution, or is it better to edit boot.cmd? Do I simply create a boot.cmd in something like note…

Hello In some cases I should connect to OpenVPN server. So I have .ovpn configuration file. It's works well while I'm connecting from home PC which runs by ubuntu 16.04 and connected though cable.

I've set up a HE.net IPv6 tunnel on my CubieTruck, which announces itself in the network as a router for IPv6 network traffic. However, when I transfer data from other computers via the CubieTruck, bandwidth is very bad. rsyslogd causes a very high load on the CubieTruck and transfer rates are only up to several hundred KB/s. However, when I test downloading files from the CubieTruck itself, load doesn't increase and I can use my full line speed of 4 MB/s. As rsyslogd is the logging daemon, I looked into the syslog and found hundreds of page allocation failures like the one I attached to this post. What's wrong and how can I fix this? exception.txt

Hi, I just joined up so I'm an extreme newbie here. I'm running the legacy trusty version of Armbian just downloaded. The HDMI display and USB ports are working fine. The Cubieboard2 is showing up in the network. I need to get the SPI interface going to talk to a microcontroller -- an STM32F303. I've enabled the particular SPI port I need in the cubieboard2.fex file (derived from the stock cubieboard2.bin file) and created the cubieboard2.bin file in /boot/bin after backing up the original. After that change, I rebooted. I got the /dev/spidev0.0 to show up. What do the parameters in the spi_board section mean? Is that documented somewhere? Thanks, Chri…

I recently created some new images using the most recent armbian scripts. For some reason my Jessie image is not coming up (see my other thread regarding network not coming up), but I did managed to get a wheezy image up and running on my BananaPi using latest / next. The problem I am having is the partition size is extremely small (about 500-600MB) and does not appear to be resize to fully utilize the SD card. It's been a long while since I created an image, but I vaguely remember the image resizing to maximize the SD card space. I basically had to manually resize the image by deleting and recreating the partition. Is there some way to specify the image size …

Hi! I plan to use a Banana Pi as a file server and install the system on the hard drive. The documentation page says: SATA/USB: pre-partitioned SATA or USB storage How does the nand-sata-install script work? Will I need to pre-partition my hard drive or will the script do it? Will it just partition it as one big ext4? Is it possible to make at least two partitions, one for the system and one for the files?

Hi, my current project is about using a NanoPI M1 as a controller for a 3D printer. As such, one wants to have very tight timing on the GPIO output, with as little jitter as possible, to get smooth motion of the stepper motors. However, it is common belief that getting a fast timing with little jitter is virtually impossible to do under linux, without the help of a dedicated chip just for the IO. While that is true in general on stock kernels, it's possible to vastly improve on that front by spending a little effort. One way on ARM chips is to use the FIQ. That is an interrupt that has the highest priority, which can interrupt all other, regular interrupts. Ho…

Hi, I installed the Xenial Mainline 4.6.7 image for the Orange PI PC+. That works fine and I can boot into the system.

Using the Ubuntu Armbian image for pcDuino 3 I am unable to get the ethernet device eth1 to work. Wireless works fine, but trying to get an IP address for eth1 fails consistently. I have read various indications that this may be an issue with GMAC TX delays or similar, but as a newbie to pcDuino and embedded Linux I do not know how to alter or adjust this, or if this is even the problem. Has anybody else experienced this with the pcDuino3 and is there a solution? As a long time UNIX developer I am reasonably confident this is not merely a UNIX configuration issue, as I have configured the pcDuino 3 Ubuntu identically to my other reference Ubuntu servers which work fine. T…

Hi guys, I have PCDuino 3 Nano which worked fine on latest ARMBIAN on Debian Jessie which is moving to EOL and armbian support for this board was dropped due to lack of devices. I have used it mainly as OMV sever with sata drive but now I migrate to a x86 install and this board will be wiped as I would like to use at as vpn server etc. What are my alternatives? I know that still are a lot of A20 boards that have armbian support. Which of them I can use and what probably won't work?

Hi, this is my first post, my apologies, I could not find a matching topic category for this PCduino3 nano question/issue (no built-in wifi, I use a Roccar wifi dongle) I have successfully built the image using the armbian configuration script (bookworm current), the board boots and runs teslausb, however, I am unable to install the driver for my wifi dongle.

I am trtying to keep my pcduino 3 nano alive. It has been working perfectly under a debian bullseye distro from Johan Gunarsson for 4 years and now I can't get the OTG to work under any release (bullseye, bookworm or trixie) I have explored many avenues, but even a plain manual setup of g_mass_storage doesn't work in a workable way. The drive appears in Windows Explorer after several minutes, and any copy or delete to that gadget drive takes ages (3+ minutes for a 12kb file) before it fails or succeeds silently. I am looking for a forum where pcduino users can help each other. Thank you, Gaetano.

Hi all. I have been doing some interesting reading here. Thank you that you started this project. I saw it already in 2014 I think when I bought my Pcduino 3 Version A but I wasn't sure back there if this project was for real. The reason why I bought Pcduino3 in the first place was an idea of a media client/server so I could hook it up to my TV and watch youtube and or Netflix and maybe have a little ftpserver on it so I can transfer my favorite tv shows to it (I currently live in germany but I do not speak/understand it fluently and all tv channels here and in german ) and watch them comfortably on the sofa (my back hurts if I sit too long by PC), and a smal…

Today I was going through my cupboard and did find a original pcDuino (v1) with A10-CPU and 1GB of Ram. In my mind I got the pcDuino v2 download-page of armbian. As JohnGo did wrote May 2016 on this page is a picture of the pcDuino v1: So I checked the specifications v1 <--> v2 and found ony that v2 has only a WiFi-Board soldered where on the v1 is a additionally USB-Port. Also the v1 is missing the Arduino-Headers, but has some other pin-rows for GPIO and so on. CPU (single-Core 1Ghz) and Ram (whopping 1GB for 2012) is the same I wrote the pcDuino v2 Image to a uSD and booted it without problems. (and changed /etc/upd…

The pcduino discussions appear to be centred here and the A10 appears to be a cutdown A20 so please forgive me if this is in the wrong area. I've been playing with an old pcduino2 and have got the latest mainline server version of Armbian installed on it. Very impressive. However, it appears to have only a single I2C bus and no SPI devices. It looks like there should be a sun4i-a10-spi-spidev.dts file somewhere or else some way to build the appropriate kernel modules but I have been unable to find this. I understand that this is a deprecated board but I should (hopefully) be able to perform any kernel builds required and am more than happy to feed the resul…

Hi, I've had a PcDuino3 for some time now, but I have barely used it because linksprite work was shoddy; so I never bothered to give the pcduino much time. I Also own a banana pi (A20), an O-DROID XU-4, several rPi's and an Orange Pi PC. All non rPi's are running armbian; you are all awesome for your work! I think I understand this problem with 4.x has something to do with the device tree .dtb files, but no clue what to do to get it to boot and display through HDMI.

Initially I attempted upgrading the kernel from 6.1.26 to 6.1.33 using the build scripts to generate the newer kernel and headers. After rebooting I found that the system just appeared to hang around starting kernel. I did wait 10 minutes at first, thinking that perhaps their maybe some stuff going on in the background but after that conclude that it had most certainly crashed. The frustrating thing being that I did not appear to get any errors come through the debug port. At this point I assumed that perhaps something may have broke during the upgrade. My second attempt was using a completely fresh compiled image but unfortunately the result was still the same. …

I am having a problem getting armbian 5.10 trusty to work on my pcduino3 nano lite. I tried both the Vanilla and Legacy kernels of the Trusty server flavor. With the Vanilla kernel I can see the boot process via usb console debug cable but when it gets to extracting kernel I lose output. With the Legacy Kernel via the console debug cable I get this error repeating: init: ttySAC2 main process ended If I try to ssh into root@<ip of pcduino> I get denied with password 1234 Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

Seems when I upgrade my pcDuino3 Nano (pcDuino3b to be specific) from the Mainline server 4.7.3 using apt-get to the newest of everything, wifi is no longer seen. I have tried following the kernel upgrade guide as listed here: https://www.armbian.com/pcduino3nano/, but that doesn't seem to solve it. The device isn't even seen anymore. I did at one point get an error in dimes about ‘/lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8188eufw.bin' being missing, which was odd because i don't think thats wifi, but replacing that with one i found on the rpi boards didnt help either. Ive been working on this issue for hours. Everything seems to work great as long as i don't upgrade, but I don't reall…

hi, having power problems with the two usb ports of my pcduino3 nano, i checked the schematics and it appears the otg port is not powered by the USB_5V rail but directly from the VCC_5V input rail, so i was hoping it would solve my problem. Unfortunately it seems the port acts as an OTG port by default and i can't find a way to restore the otg host mode as advertised in the vanilla kernel features. The documentation only details how to use various OTG modes but not how to revert it back to host. I'm using xenial vanilla image. thank you.

Hello, I've just purchased a PCduino3B. I installed Armbian (Jessie Desktop) on it. Since I've done this I have the issue of the HDMI signal dropping out occasionally. This has happened with 2 different HDMI cables and 2 different monitors (one an actual PC monitor, the other my Panasonic Plasma TV). Has anyone else come across this issue before? Is there anything I can check? Also I'm having trouble getting the wired network to connect using the WICD Network Manager (The Wifi connects OK). Is there anything I can check here? I haven't used Linux for many years and am very rusty on troubleshooting issues. Many thanks in advance for your help. No.42

I've had success with Armbian runing on Orange Pi One and pcDuino2. I'm using the legacy kernels on these boards. Today I've got a pcDuino3B - similar to pcDuino3 except it has GB ethernet from the pcDuino3 nano. I tried legacy kernels for both the 3 and the 3 nano. I see high cpu load ~35% from one of the kworker processes. Then I tried the mainline kernels from the 3 and the 3 nano. No cpu load problems but the GbE does not appear to be configured in the 3 image. 3 nano works on both ethernet and wifi so I'm wondering whether to stick with this one and see if there are any other differences. I don't have a build environment set up and no experience with kernel debug…

After along time I downloaded a new armbian image, after doing apt update/upgrade for the last year or so. I was quite surprised to see that the pcduino3nano is now deprecated, while other A20 boards are still supported. What was the exact reason that the pcduino3nano was dropped from support? If I keep using the deprecated OS, can I fully use apt update/upgrade for all user stuff? What would happen to all kernel and u-boot update packages? Is the latest armbian for the pcduino3nano automatically disabling those updates, or do I need to do something manually? *should* I block kernel & u-boot updates? thanks, Udi

I finally decided to give armbian a try on my Orange Pi One. Started without any issue and then I noticed that the 50°c idle. Sounds a bit high. I compliled mplayer with j3 and saw the temperature reaching 90°c then throttling down the frequency to 600MHz with a temperature of 70°c. Ultimately this board is nowhere faster than a RPI2 if it is stuck to 600MHz under heavy load. Or my Orange PI One has a serious problem. Any advice?

Hello everyone, First of all, I'm sorry for my English. I'll do my best. Currently armbian is installed in the mmc (although I tried the same test with a sd memory). Now, with lscpu I can see that only cpu0 is enabled; 1-3 are off. When I try: sudo echo '1' | Sudo tee / sys / devices / system / cpu / cpu1 / online to activate cpu1, shell replies with: online: Permission denied I'm looking for options on root permissions or sysfs mount options; For now, I can not find a solution. Thanks in advance for your help.

It's normal ? How transform your raw file in .img because the phoenix suite accept only the img file ? Is there another method to flash the nand ? Thanks François

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?

Greetings, Firstly I would like to say that I really appreciate the work that has been done by this wonderful community of developers and users of Armbian. Secondly I am sorry if the problems that I describe here have been already discussed. I have not found anything alike. So I am a proud owner of the OPi PC board. Everything seems to be OK, except some fan issues. What have I done until now: 1. Installed Armbian Jessie Server with RPi Monitor 2. Added a. heatsink on the SoC and RAM chips b.

I have a raspi hat (rak2245) that has 2 versions: a pi-hat version that has a 40 pin-header on it for raspberry pi's , but also a smaller stamp edition. It uses spi and uart to communicate with the pi. I have it running without issues on my orange pi zero, even though the pinheader is a little too large. And via a breadboard I can access all pins just fine. But since I am making my own PCB anyway, I am interested in using the stamp version. The only difference between the stamp and the pi-hat version (aside from the form-factor and pin-out) is that the pi-hat version has an additional eeprom chip to tell the rapsberry pi about the function of the pins apparently. Now…

Last year I tried the 5.30 and was not happy, as the PI did not give signal to HDMI, when monitor was plugged in while booting. After booting, plug in HDMI cable, picture was on monitor. Now tried the newer Armbian_5.38 on a 2nd Orange PI PC, and I get NO picture / signal on HDMI. Nothing. Have also changed to several resolutions, but no image on monitor or beamer. I have also tried the "DVI adapter option" in the "armbian config". What is wrong with it? I have 2 PI PCs. Same problem on the other PI (now there runs a PI HOLE, as I was not able to get a picture without un-pluging the HDMI cable, so I switched over to a Banana PI M1 for…

Hi. I am having this issue with Orange PI PC. If it boots up when the TV it connects to over HDMI is off, I am getting blank pink screen. I guess it is because it chooses different video output when TV isn't detected. Raspbian forums suggest disabling "HDMI hotplug" by editing /boot/config.txt , but Armbian hasn't got this file. Please share your suggestions as this TV is on the wall in my kid's school at 2m height - and if it reboots due to short power failure, it needs a ladder to get fixed. Please help me before school year starts

Hi, I performed an apt-get upgrade on my system, and it installed the 4.13 kernel. After the reboot, i started getting the message "bad CRC - using default environment". I spent the whole day reading many threads but still didn't manage to come with a solution. I tried the symlink to /boot/dtb/allwinner from the PC2 forum, but with no luck. I bought this board recently, it is my first board and i am very new to this, although i have decent Linux knowledge. Could you point out what i might have done wrong or if i'm missing something?

So I just received a couple of Orange Pi Zeros. I thought for a fun first project I'd port the pi-hole project.

It is possible to drag backlight control slider to far left position and this completely dims the screen's backlight. This might cause a lot of trouble, if backlight levels get saved by systemd service, as it will persist across reboots and will require you to shine a flashlight on a screen to actually see something and turn backlight back on.

Armbian Legacy 5.56 Kernel 3.10 boots and installs to the eMMC (as long as ext2fs is picked). Armbian Dev 5.56 Kernel 4.19 does not boot from the SD Card at all (power LED and black screen). I don't have the serial console adapter (yet) so I don't know if there is something useful there.

Some of the functions keys on my Pinebook like volume up, down and mute doesn't work. Any clues on that? Thank you in advance.

Hi, just a quick sanity check - is install to eMMC on pinebook known to be working (with recent Armbian images from the wip section), and is nand-sata-install the right way to do it? It just occurred to me that I might be spinning my wheels trying to figure out something that just isn't ready yet Thanks, James

Hello, recently got a pinebook. I have a strong Linux-on-PC-user background (running ArchLinux on my desktop & older netbook, and debian oldstable on my home server laptop), but not really a developer background and no experience with single board computers at all!

I have tried these releases; the stable 0.6.2 first: AFAICS, it uses a frambuffer driver (fbturbo) under Xorg. video playback was more than choppy, and the UX drops to zero because the video window can't be resized and sticks to the screen, …

Hello, I'm using a BananaPi and just tried the latest version (10.6.2015, Linux 4.0.5) of your great distribution. Unfortunately, support for ath9k_htc based USB Wifi adapters seems to be missing, which is crucial for me. (ath9k_htc works great using free and open source firmware.) Could you please add support for this kind of hardware for future releases or give me a hint how I could add support to your existing images? Thank you and kind regards, LINMOB

Attempting to connect ILI9341 LCD with XPT2046 Touch to NanoPi NEO Core2 and then migrate to NanoPi Duo2. The ILI9341 / XPT2046 peripheral board has shared SPI with a separate slave chip select for the screen and touch controllers. Starting with hardware datasheet for the H3 I see there is lots of support for different chip select implementations. This makes me think I am on good footing from a hardware perspective. What is not clear to me is how the register support for four slave chip selects translates into pin assignments. Reading through spi-sun6i.c., for example, static int sun6i_spi_transfer_one( ... ) uses SUN6I_TFR_CTL_CS_MANUA…
