Hi, Just received a OPiPCplus and first things first ..loading it with Armbian. Is there a guide on how to flash Armbian image to OPiPCplus internal eMMC? Searched the forum but couldnt pinpoint anything.. Christos

hello everybody, I going to compile kernel + complete image with the armbian building script. At this moment, the 25 october 2016 ... What distribution is the better choice if I want to use mali desktop lighttpd mysql ? Debian Jessie or Ubuntu Trusty ? What the "real" difference, what distribution have more capability on the orange pi pc plus. Thx you

Hi, I have compiled the FFmpeg version in "https://github.com/stulluk/FFmpeg-Cedrus" (great job !!) to get h264 hardware encoding on Olinuxino-LIME2-4G A20 board. My goal is to encode in realtime h264 with a low cpu load and to stream video with crtmpserver.

I need to run btrfs for a headless web server on an Opi PC. The armbian 3.4 kernel btrfs is too green to be used. I was able to install the 4.7.3 kernel (and remove the 3.4.x) using apt. I got btrfs and support for some USB devices, but lost HDMI and 3 cpu cores. Is there a better option I could try? This board seems to be running like a champ with just one core but I would like to have it fire on all 4 and have at least some video output if I wanted to. Is it ok to ask for recomends as to what board I might better choose? I require a modern Ubuntu/kernel, decent usb, decent network (gigabit if possible), and low cost. They will be used for personal cloud an…

Hello, now my system is running well on my Cubietruck: (ARMBIAN Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS 4.8.1-sunxi) Booting from SDCard rootfs on SSD (installed via nand-sata-install script) Whereas a image backup of SDCard is easy, how to backup my rootfs on SSD for system fallback Szenario: Is there any good script to backup rootfs of SSD with shrinking function to get small backup files? simply TAR of "/" of SSD? Use of webmin backup functionality (howto store this backup on network drive outside my Cubietruck)? Best Regards, Martin

Hi, couple of month ago I installed Armbian on my Cubietruck. I didn't really use it much, but today I decided to start using it, and obviously the right way to do so is to update to the latest version. So when I started, I had this version on my Cubietruck: ARMBIAN Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS 3.4.112-sun7i I followed Igor's instructions at http://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#how-to-update : apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get install -f apt-get upgrade apt-get autoremove -y However, I received the following error message after the first instance of "upgrade": ...

I'm getting broken connections when I download big files from my Cubietruck. I've tried reducing CPU freq and setting eth0 to 100 half duplex, as recommended in various places. No joy though. It is said that a GMAC fix for this went into u-boot in mid 2015 but my u-boot appears to be older: $ strings /boot/linux/u-boot.bin | grep 201 U-Boot 2011.09-rc1-00000-gc1cb2f9 (May 30 2014 - 10:19:03) Allwinner Technology arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc (Sourcery G++ Lite 2010.09-50) 4.5.1 GNU ld (Sourcery G++ Lite 2010.09-50) 2.20.51.20100809 $ cat /etc/armbian-release # PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BOARD=cubietruck BOARD_NAME="Cubietruck" VERSION=5.20 LINUXFAMILY=sun7i BRA…

Hello, i use my BananaPI M2 Plus as a home router. i have eth0, eth0.10 (vlan 10), eth0.1111 (vlan 1111) on eth0 i have External IP from ISP by DHCP (original MAC ADDRESS) on eth0.10 i have internal IP (192.168.10.1) (different - generated MAC ADDRESS) on eth0.1111 have external IP from ISP for settopboxes. (cloned MAC ADDRESS from settopbox) my issue is that 192.168.10.1 is unreachable after reboot. Have no idea why. i discover that if i switch eth0.10 to promiscuous mode (tcpdump -c 10 -i eth0.10) after reboot it works. any idea to make it less dirty? thank you.

Hello! I recently started setting my board up, and came across all the information needed to enable the LCD use for it. For info, I've updated to 5.20. I have gone through the whole process to change the script.bin to fex, edit, change back, copy and sync. The changes are saved, I have even made a copy of the script.bin to script.fex in order to see if the new script contains the changes I made. All is there. It seems to be the problem another user had in this thread: http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/841-bananapro-lemaker-5in-lcd-legacy-kernel/ In this case I chose the lcd_if=4 since it is what they provide at sunxi, but it didnt work. I then ch…

Hello, I'm a new user of Orange Pi One - it just arrived yesterday. I installed Armbian and hoped to try out some H264 video. It appeared just fine on the first time - but I noticed lack of any OSD/subtitles. I tried to use different player (VLC), played with different video outputs. 'X11' worked well on both VLC and mpv... until I tried fullscreen. After long time spent researching the topic I found out that Armbian is using libvdpau-surni whitch is a community driver reversed-engeineered from Allwinner's commertial one, apparently avalibale for Android. I also read that its output will alvays overlap any other elements of the screen including subtitles, menus et…

Like most people that have consumer ipv6 service, I have NATted ipv4 + global ipv6. I'm trying to get my v4 to be a static address and my v6 to be slaac with privext 2. However if I try to set this, I end up with the ipv6 configuration not enabled. As a workaround, I've set both v4 + v6 static, but would really like to get slaac working, as my global /64 has not changed to date but is not guaranteed to remain the same. This works: iface wlan0 inet static address 192.168.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 wpa-ssid my-essid wpa-psk <my-hash-here> iface wlan0 inet6 static address 240x:xx:yy:zz:dead:beef:cafe:babe n…

I'm trying to recompile the image from source (because I want the kernel with SATA PMP support, and I got the SATA port multiplier and 3 drives ready), but failed in the last step. As the attached image, the problem should be caused by "Device or resource busy". I'm using a fresh downloaded Ubuntu 16.4 VB image and follow every instructions in github. So, how can I get rid of it? Am I missing something? Thanks.

Hi there Have purchased a Lime 2 device, as it offered GigE-which my Pi's dont :-) Loaded up both the vanilla and the normal distro's but both have this annoying habit of the device just goes to sleep-sometimes after a few hours. When I say sleep, I can still see the Ethernet LED's blinking away-but it wont respond to PING's, and it wont respond to SSH. Plugging in a monitor and keyboard doesn't bring it back to life either. If I power recycle it (2.5A unit being used-have tried the OTG and the 5vdc but no difference), up she comes. Fully updated in terms of packages. I have even set up a continuous ping to my home router from the Lime 2 (its on my internal LAN) to see …

Hi, I'm trying to install my laser printer Brother HL 2130 in Armbian Jessie. The thing is, that in my older Armbian Wheezy system with same board and printer it works. Anyone has a clue? Maruprez

Hi, Initially this started by trying to have proper capture and playback in PCM/I2S port, but it looks like that ALL H3 audio drivers got the same problem, they cannot capture at 24bits, they cannot do HiFi recording despite the Allwinner's datasheet that they do have 24bits in plain audio port and up to 32bits in PCM/I2S/HDMI. I made a very simple test in another thread here and anyone with any H3 board without anything else can do it too -> http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/759-tutorial-i2s-on-orange-pi-h3/?p=17595 Then it popped to my mind to do the most simple of the tests, in the included/onboard audio codec, wich according to datasheet it is w…

Hi, I'm using the orange pi plus 2e with armbian server installed on eMMC via the built-in script,as the title says i want ways to reduce boot times. I only need ethernet and usb since i will be using it as a "virtualhere" server. Thanks, linux super noob. regards.

I'm running an OrangePi One. Having installed Armbian a while ago and gone through all the updates, I was wondering if there is any way to determine what equivalent release my installations are at. I noticed that 5.20 is out and some folks are talking about 5.21. I'm running Jessie. Also, for me to use a more recent version of Debian, I'm guessing I would have to build the image myself? Is that due to shortcomings in the 4.x kernels on the H3 platform? I've done some digging and it seems like many (most) things are working right on the 4.x kernels? Thank you James

Edit: Nothing was wrong with the Orange PI. I turned out to be my switch. Hi All, Firstly, Armbian is just fantastic. Secondly, this issue is highly likely to have nothing to do with Armbian, but just the cheap crap you'd expect from a cheap SBC. Essentially, after much pain and anguish having bizarre Ethernet connectivity issues with a shiny new Orange PI PC I bought a couple of days, which was: 1. When OPI was connected my network switch (which has four other devices connected to it: two Ethernet and two WiFi), none of the other devices can reliably 'ping' or SSH to the OPI... 25% to 100% packet loss. 2. When connecting the OPI physically directly to ex…

Hi All, I'm using a rather old Armbian (wheezy) image on an Olimex Micro. I've installed a lot of apps on it, so I don't want to be moving to a newer image. I'm trying to copy my SD card image to NAND using the `nand-sata-install.sh` script that came with the image. All goes well. The script partitions the NAND, reboots, installs all files and shuts down. When I remove the SD card and power on, the board boots and everything is still alright. Now, on subsequent poweroffs or reboots, the board does boot, but I doesn't connect to ethernet. Boot logs from debug UART show that `proc` isn't mounted. Error: /proc must be mounted What could be the reaso…

I would like to upgarde my Cubietruck headless server from Legacy to Vanilla. With Legacy if I boot from NAND I can get my hard disc to spin down. But with SD card/sda root file system (as required by Vanilla) I can't get my disc to stop: if I issue 'hdparm -Y /dev/sda' it spins up again after a short interval. I have done everything I can think of to ensure that rsyslog is not writing to disc. Syslog shows frequent ata error messages that seem to coincide with the disc re-starting.

I'm running OpenElec on a NanoPI-M1 and one thing missing is having the screen blanked when the screensaver kicks in, allowing the monitor to power down. In Kodi there's no option to do it, unlike when running in other OS. Probably someone is going to direct me at CEC but that does not work for me as I have a PC monitor connected to the board through a HDMI->VGA adaptor. I've read in the sunxi docs that the '/sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank' sysfs entry should control blanking for the framebuffer, therefore blanking the HDMI output, but it either does not work that way or at all, as nothing happens. On the RP world there is a command line utility that can enable/disabl…

Hello Everybody !!! Armbian works great on beelink (Armbian_5.20_Beelinkx2_Debian_jessie_3.4.112) Just one last thing to reach the perfection : "speaker-test -twav -c2" gives good sound on hdmi But with mpv (and vlc previous version) hdmi sound and video are slowed...

Is there other way to play sound and video ? cat /etc/modules #gpio_sunxi bcmdhd sndspdif sunxi_sndspdif sunxi_spdif sunxi_spdma sunxi-cir

Hello, I am trying to get my Orange Pi One working with my ili9488 LCD screen. I followed a few "how-to's" , This one in particular There is a comment there that mentions how to do it on the Orange Pi. Also this post here. I must be missing something, because when I did all the actions listed in every "How To" I found; all I get is a black screen with a white bar down the side. Does anyone know of a comprehensive how-to on getting this screen to work?

Hi Guys, a few weeks ago, I implemented a project wich reads the power sources of my Banana Pi. I was using /sys/power/axp_pmu/. I now made a new build to enable lcd display and such things.

Only /sys/power/{pm_async, pm_freeze_timeout, state, wakeup_count} Kernel of new build is 4.8.0 What have I to do, to get axp_pmu back? Martin

Hello to all! I have banana pi m2+ with Allwinner H3. OS: ARMBIAN Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 3.4.112-sun8i I program linux kernel driver. And I am can't run R_UART. I write to register any value, and read value alway zero. It seems that APB0 bus is not cloked. Or device R_UART reset asserted. What I do wrong? Sincerely, Dmitriy.

I managed to bust off the card slot on the pi lite. Can it be booted from USB or is this board done?

Hello. I am new to Armbian. My Banana PI M2 (already a disappointment, bad purchase on my part) is up and running but will not reboot all the way. It shuts down but does not restart again. Any ideas how to go about troubleshooting and fixing this? It is a deal breaker for what I planned to be a headless system. It needs to be restartable without physically pulling the plug to do so.

Hi, Nanopi M1 is so similar to Orange Pi One that you can use the amazing work provided by jernejsk and run Openelec using the VPU of the H3. Here are the links : * Main page * prebuilt images list * Github project * The issue I've opened I'm using the embedded IR Sensor with my remote (that was the toughest part) and the only modification I made was to change to cpufreq governor from performance to conservative but if you use the latest image you shouldn't have to do that. Well so far so good. I'm using a little heat sink and the cpu temperature is between 60°C and 80°C depending of the video I'm playing.

Hi all, I'm writing this post because I had an issue upgrading my lamobo-r1 from the previous version to the current one (Armbian_5.20_Lamobo-r1_Ubuntu_xenial_4.7.3).

As pointed out on some sites, looks like "/etc/init/hwclock.conf" has "start on starting mountall" so failing to mount could cause a failing in hwclock initialization. I also found on bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu that in recent versions with systemd, mountall became fussy about fi…

Any suggestion on how to get MAC from u-boot? I'm on Armbian 5.20 legacy kernel. Thank you

I have done a fresh install of Armbian 5.20 for my pc+. I was hoping that the software defined radio software GQRX would now be able to find Pulse Audio and work properly.

Hello everyone, I am kinda of new to the orange, I think it's fantastic, I worked with rasp for while and I think the orange just slashes it. Pampering the orange aside, I am trying to hook up an old webcam to the Orange pi lite and I running into some issue, my lsusb info is this: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 1e4e:0100 Cubeternet WebCam When I start motion, everything works fine, although when I go on the browser a gray screen comes up saying: unable to open video device I have changed the configuration file of /etc/motion/motion.conf and /etc/default/motion as instructed here: http://www.orangepi.org/Docs/Webcams.html Plus I have changed the with my i…

Hi All, I'll start with I know this is a dev image...... but I would like to see the 4.x kernels working on the Orange Pi Lite, so would like to be able to find out why it's not and help get that resolved in any way I can. I have 2 images, both were built using the compile.sh: Armbian_5.20_Orangepilite_Ubuntu_xenial_3.4.112.img Armbian_5.21_Orangepilite_Ubuntu_xenial_4.7.6.img I dd'd the 3.4.112 kernel image onto a Micro SD, put it in to my Orange Pi Lite and booted it up and confirmed it was working as expected, the green light flashed, the red one also flashed on first boot, then after the reboot I logged in, changed password etc. I then powered off th…

Hi Back in February '15 I have started to write an instruction about the setup of a BPi-R1 (Router). In the threads of the Forum, the information is scattered and it takes so much time for each to get along. So I thought such a document would help to become not only faster, but to achieve a better result as well, as you can faster spend time with the device and tweak it. My know how is getting better, but things are still missing. If you like to help the 'community' with your know how, please leave comments in the document if you find errors or you find something missing. Google Docs Thank you in advance - for your support Cheers Tido

According to http://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-pc-plus/ If I understand correctly, the only difference is that PC+ has additional eMMC and WiFi. So a system with vanilla kernel for Opi PC+ should also work on the PC. Or are there other hardware differences? The page states: "serial console only, no HDMI." Does this vanilla system support Ethernet yet, so one can login via ssh after installation? My targeted use would be a tvheadend server (without local video for the moment).

Hello, I have lubuntu installed on Cubieboard 2's NAND and I want to test Armbian. I've downloaded Armbian_5.10_Cubieboard2_Ubuntu_trusty_3.4.112 and write the image on a SD card using sudo dd if=Armbian_5.10_Cubieboard2_Ubuntu_trusty_3.4.112.raw of=/dev/rdisk2s1 But the cubieboard does't boot from the SD card, I get these error messages

Hi, I'm Olivier, french engineer, and i have bought an orangepi plus card in april. I use linux (x86) since 1994 Sorry for my bad english ... I was happy to find Armbian because linux images provided by xunlong have many security problems (example / and all system directory aren't owned by root but by orangepi user). Thank for your work on Armbian. My Orangepi + has been installed with a 5.10 armbian image (Armbian_5.10_Orangepiplus_Debian_jessie_3.4.112) and run perfectly. I wanted upgrade to 5.20 and since the card doesn't boot anymore. I can boot with the native android on NAND memory but I can't boot on SDcard. When I boot on sdcard, only gr…

Hi, I have a orange pi one which I use as a test web server and everything was good so far, the first problem I came a cross that the couchbase server on debian package did'nt support arm, so I skipped that and used another computer as couchbase server, But the problem now is that I can't install the couchbase php client on the orange pi, then I tried the build the libcouchbase my self. I actually did build it (I have no previous experince with build) After I built it I don't know what to do, now I have libcouchbase.so file and other files but I can't still use couchbase php commands. Any help is appriciated. Thanks.

Hi, is one of your images able to play movies and watch youtube?

Good Morning, I'm using the 5" LCD of LeMaker designed for Banana Pi. For some reason I changed from legacy Kernel to vanilla kernel. But now in the vanilla kernel touch screen driver isn't available anymore. In legacy kernel it the ft5x_ts module. Is there an other way to make my Display working with touch again?

First, I am generally not a Linux person, so pardon any silly questions here. I am working on an OrangePi Plus 2E with (recent) Armbian. It has been working fine with the Jessie Desktop for several weeks now. I generally am running it 'headless', so I'm not sure exactly when, but sometime between last Saturday and yesterday I seem to have lost the desktop (and autologin, ...). I see a number of messages on the console at boot, including 'Stopped User Manager for user ID 1000' and then removing 'slice' for this user. The system is operating fine, just not the UI. So, how do I get autologin and desktop back (other than a new install)? What might have caused …

Hi first of all sorry for my bad English .I have an OPI PC + ,I install Ubuntu on my sd card and after boot i used nand-sata-install command to use may nand but when i tryied to use my sd card (after format sd card) it did't work and after reboot i receive "panic= boot argument" how can i use my sd card and mount it when my dist installed on nand? even i checked this link for Cubietruck but it wasn't useful for OPI , and then i checked this and it was really hopeful but I don't now how can i exactly implement this .Actually I need to auto mount my sd card as a result when I reboot my OPI PC + I need my OPI boot from emmc instead of sd card. thank you for you…

Hi, Seen some posts where mentioning that depending of the version of kernel there is either FEX or DTS usage, old ones called Legacy, using FEX to define GPIOs and Peripherals pins. Wit Mainline Kernel, is using DTS. Yet in the recent kernel (dev) armbian builds, eg armbian 5.21, kernel 4.7.6 (on H3, NEO), seen the /boot containing all the FEX stuff script.bin etc. Is FEX still used in the mainline kernel builds?

Hi, I own several SPI touch displays, and I would like to use them with armbian. I got the displays to work already, but I'm now trying to get the touchpanels to work also. I'm using Debian Jessie Server Legacy 5.20 with a BananaPro board. I tried to add the module to /etc/modules : ads7846_device gpio_pendown=17 cs=1 x_plate_ohms=400 pressure_max=255 swap_xy=0 ads7846 ... does not work, I don't even see an error in dmesg.

Hi. My platform is Orange Pi Plus. I connected SATA HDD and installed Armbian. Using nand-sata-install I created the following scenario: boot from SD, system on SATA. I also installed lighttpd. Several days everything works fine and than: ...file system on the root filesystem failed … rebooting automatically due to panic= boot argument... After that the PC just reboots constantly and I can do anything. The only solution I found is to repeat the process of boot SD creation. But after that I need to install everything again. All this I already did for several times... What maybe the reason of this error? Can I exclude the SD card and use eMMC instead? Is there anythi…

I started using armbian just a few days ago, I used the cb2 image. When I updated from 5.10 to 5.11 when I play a video, the video surface is darker, for example, instead of white I get grey. Just to be sure I put armbian 5.10 in another SD and videos played well, them update to armbian 5.11 and had the same problem with video playback. Does someone have any idea what is the problem? Until the problem is solved, how can I downgrade my armbian 5.11 to 5.10? Thanks. EDIT: I downloaded and installed the 5.10 pkgs: armbian-hostapd_5.10_armhf.deb linux-firmware-image-sun7i_5.10_armhf.deb linux-headers-sun7i_5.10_armhf.deb linux-image-sun7i_5.10_arm…

I got 2 x Orange PI pc+ running Armbian (install by same SD card on eMMC). My two orange pi pc+ got same wlan0 mac address. I did research on forum and saw some suggestion about bug of Network-Manager. I try remove (purge) Network-Manager but see no difference. I also try look in u-boot but don't know how to set mac address on the u-boot part. How should I make my 2 pc+ board have difference mac address? want to run these two board under the same wifi network. Please suggest. Thank you very much in advance.

Hi! My Banana pi Pro with Armbian v5.20 does not boot since i issued a 'init 1' command. While booting, it show only that; Starting kernel ... Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel. How to activate the boot debug mode. I tried many keyboard keys without success. Thank you!

Hi dear. I have some question about orangepi plus. I am using orangepi+ and The latest Armbian Debian Version was installed in emmc. and i have some BLE Module. but, when i add my module to gpio pin, i can see I/O Error..but it's not always, somtimes there is no error. and when i boot orangepi-plus, it is PULL-UP state. i don't know this reason, how can change default gpio pull-up or pull-down state? or you have some idea? thanks

Hi, I have a orange pi one and the jessie-lite from this site. Everything runs fine when freshly installed, however after apt-get upgrade and init 6 it stops working. I get nothing displayed on my hdmi any longer etc. Any ideas?

Thanks to the latest Armbian and my own script - I now have a NanoPi Neo (two of them actually) running everything I want - Node-Red, Mosquitto, SQLITE3 etc..... got control of serial ports - marvelous. I have only one problem - I have no idea despite several experiments - how to get WIFI working on the standard cheap Wifi dongles you get on Ebay. (usually say 802.11n on the black plastic end). Anyone succeeded with this? Pete.

Hello everyone activating legend movie MPlayer vdpau? banana pi m1

Hi guys, I'm running Armbian on my BananaPi for almost a year now and it has always run seamlessly, since the latest upgrade to Arabian 5.20 (Kernel 4.7.3) I've started to experience problems with the stability of the daemons. Monit is doing an hard job lately restarting many times a day almost all the processes I'm running as damons, the most affected by the Killing are Python 2.7 (running Sickrage) and Deluge daemon. In particular Deluge being killed so many times a day is quite annoying since I have to recheck the integrity of many files almost every time I get the service up again. I didn't install any additional software that could have created this inst…

I install Jessie server armbian on orange pi and install wiring op on it from this link https://github.com/zhaolei/WiringOP and for test interrupt I use this example form https://github.com/ngs/wiringPi/blob/master/examples/isr.c as he said for test use gpio mode 0 up gpio mode 0 down in terminal , I did this and it just print waiting... my question is , Is wiringPiISR working on orange pi one? If the answer is yes, what should happen in this example? If the answer is no ,what can use instead of wiringPiISR ?

I was testing the orangepi PC+ armbian build 5.20 (Armbian_5.20_Orangepipcplus_Debian_jessie_3.4.112_desktop) when messing with it it seemed to have random reboots. I thought initially it was because it was lacking a heatsink or fan. So I added both and the issue persisted. Thinking maybe if I flashed to emmc it might resolve the issue it froze in emmc install and is effectively softbricked from what I can tell sadly. I also tested a second OPIPC+ but was unable to get it to boot. I tested with multiple new power cables as well.

At first i like to say that this problem is not caused by Armbian. On my OpiPC+ my EMMC has became unusuable. I got a first hint to this by updating 5.17 Jessie Desktop to 5.20, that failed after downloading 135 MB of Files. I did not thought of an Error and compiled 5.20 myself, put it on SDcard and run nand-sata-install. The Script does it work without any Errors, but after power down, the Opi did not come up again. Put in the SDcard again and tried to look at the EMMC but it was not mountable. There were some Errors fixed by running fsck but next time i tried to write on the Emmc i got Errors again, in fact i tried to run nand-sata-install again after i trie…

Hey. I'm not sure if I perhaps caught the Armbian website in the middle of an update, but there doesn't seem to be any Ubuntu (Xenial) builds for H3 boards anymore ... with the exception of the NanoPi Neo. It's all Legacy Jessie builds right now. Thanks,

I'm not sure if this is off-topic, but I'd like to ask the forum about a problem. My goal is to run RPi-Cam-Web-Interface (http://elinux.org/RPi-Cam-Web-Interface). I have 5.20 Jessie server 3.4.112 that has been updated/upgraded on an Orange Pi One with a gc2035 cam on an expansion board from aliexpress. As a first step I got the cam working. There are some threads in this forum that made that easy. I then installed github.com/roberttidey/userland since it includes raspimjpeg - a key element in the RPi-Cam-Web-Interface toolchain. But when I run raspimjeg I get the error * failed to open vchiq instance Google has solutions that involve permissions…

There is problem with the internal wifi on Orange Pi Lite and Armbian 5.20 (5.16 too). I installed tshark (and tcpdump) and try to capture wifi packets in monitor mode. Without success. What's better. Aircrack-ng works flawlessly. I think, pcap library has a problem with switching the device to monitor mode. "dumpcap: The capture session could not be initiated on interface 'wlan0' (wlan0: SIOCGIWPRIV: Argument list too long)." 'iwpriv' command runs without error, but the private command list is really long. Buffer too small?? Dumpcap run with no errors on external USB wifi dongle (TP-Link TL-WN722N), so I think problem is in firmware of internal wlan chip…

Hello every one, I have used crosstool-ng on my Jessie server (x86), and downloaded the linaro toolchain for my Ubuntu (x64 / 16.04) laptop, but ran into a wall both times: the cross-compilers won't (and now that I think about it, can't) link to the host libraries. Do I simply get all the sources for the libraries I want/need, and adjust their configure parameters to point to dedicated directory, and then build my target? Is there an easy way to manage the versions / dependencies to match Jessie (the version on my target OPi)? I am trying to compile Duktape with libreadline, if that matters. Thanks, Steve

I've try to upgrade my pi to newest version of the system yesterday, but FAILED for both apt-get upgrade or by download and write the newest image.

Hi Few days ago i've upgraded by armbian to the newest release version 5.17? from 5.11. The problem is, that minidlna DLNA server is only visible for few minutes after the service is started. Later i need a restart the service to make it visible for the new clients. The strange is that when i don't exit/shutdown the client, after the server discovered, it stays visible and works perfectly. But i want to make it visible for a newly started client, i need to restart the service. It doesn't seem to be client problem, as the same happens with my samsung smart tv, and a windows pc with foobar 2000 dlna plugin. What's the problem? (it maybe a broadcasting problem)

I am working on a new project which uses the Banana Pi to capture USB output destined for a printer in order to log the output from a system. The BananaPi will need to be a simple plugin which sits between the machine and a connected USB printer - so we want to: a ) Mimic the connected USB printer (so that the machine thinks it still has the original printer attached) b ) Capture the output from the machine c ) Send the captured output onwards to the printer. The BananaPi seemed the obvious choice as it has the built in USB OTG port and we would use the gadget printer to mimic the attached printer. Unfortunately, the Bananian images do not support the gadget printer a…

Hello I am a new user of the armbian software. I installed the latest version of vanilla to armbian in the description of the material, I saw that the buscan was activated. I have a banana pi pro, I would like to know how to install the software for CAN bus. I read that can4linux was the driver to install. I read on this forum they've installed patches, but how do I installed a patch? Thank you for your help. PS: I speak French and I use a translator.

I need/want USB ethernet via OTG. I've wasted over 16 hours trying to get the g_ether module to work. A prominent poster told me that all recent Armbian images have this ability, just follow the directions... It's not. I'm using the stock Armbian image from this website, and I've updated it via "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade". Still no luck. The OTG connection currently shows up as a USB serial gadget, but I want a USB Ethernet gadget.

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. I'm actually wanting to use it as a headless server, but initial setup requires me to see the screen only because the onboard wifi is not working either (despite manually editing /etc/wpa_supplicant/wp…
