Hi! I just bought a NanoPi M1 board and It is running with Armbian without problem. Now I want to add a DHT22 temp & hum sensor but searching in the web I cant find any script to get it work. I saw that the RPi script doesn't work on the NanoPi M1 because the chip is differnt. In the Friendlyarm page there is a C script to work with the DHT11, but nothing with the DHT22. So, anyone have been experimenting whit it in this context? There are a Wiring Pi equivalent to NanoPi M1? Thanks

Edit: Price seems to be $17.99 Just FYI: FriendlyARM is preparing another H3 board: NanoPi Air somehow related to NanoPI NEO (same low default DRAM clockspeed let me believe this). What we already know (by looking at Github commits): onboard eMMC (no idea about the size) no HDMI no Ethernet AP6212 based WiFi+BT (connected through SDIO and UART) Personal assumptions: most probably also just a single bank DRAM configuration most probably also a SD card slot maybe eMMC only an option and a basic version without eMMC available same 40 x 40 mm dimensions as NEO, eMMC on the lower PCB side next to H3, AP6212 on the upper (where the Ethernet Jack is located on the NEO -- a…

Hello there. I'm owner of nano pi m1 board. I want use hid usb gadget on this board, but no success. First I use prebuild image from download section. I fugured out, that the image contains android_usb gadget and it's works (i didn't go deep, but i see, that after some manipulations with files my computer see nano pi as mass storage). Ok, this shows that nanopi board can be used as device. Go next. I need to load g_hid module, but there is no such module in the default image. Ok, time to compile custom kernel (with Igor's script this is easy). I included hid usb gadget via menu. Booting and "modprobe g_hid". Failed. "No such module" turns into "No such device". Hm...…

Hello Armbian Kernel Team, I own a Cubietruck (CB3) and I wanted to setup a fresh debian server system. So I installed Armbian 5.14 (Debian Jessie) on my SD Card and booted the system up. Everything was working as expected, but I have special needs regarding the usage of my filesystems and storage devices. My desired configuration is (previously working under Armbian Wheezy): Cubietruck NAND -> /dev/nand1 (32 MB) = boot partition -> /dev/nand2 (max) = some data or maybe swap 60 GB SATA Drive (2,5") via SATA to USB adapter -> /dev/sdb1 (5 GB) = root filesystem -> /dev/sdb2 (55 GB) = some data 1 TB SATA Drive (3,5") via native SATA port o…

Hi Thank you in advance for the help and the magnificent work ??Has "(BananaPi M1)" KVM kernel supports in Ubuntu Mate 16. I would like to virtualize Windows XP or Windows 7 in "(BananaPi M1)" a social project for non-profit. I'm about to go crazy is this compatible with this board (BananaPi M1) Thank you

Hi everybody, I need some help because I can't make my OPIPlus2e working the way I want. If I understood well I have to install latest armbian, and copy/past script.bin, but sometimes ethernet is not recognized. I tried every distros on my orangepi2e, but I can't install things like kodi (refuses to start, missing libs), or making work hfs drive (can't mount hfs although hfsprogs well installed). I ended up installing openelec and it works great, but I would like to do a NAS with it. Is it still in active development or there is working ISO ? Thank you very much. Best regards, Poukin

I just want to post a thank you to the developers and contributors who have built one NICE distribution. Over a year ago I bought a few OPi PC as a possible replacement for Raspberry Pi based HAM radio projects I support. To say I was disappointed in the distribution from the manufacturer is a understatement. Without Loboris stepping up and getting something usable I would have tossed them in the trash and moved on. Last night I downloaded and installed Jessie server from Armbian. What a pleasure. Small, clean and a giant plus for me, HEADERS!!!!. I am so tired of having to build the headers for a kernel so I can compile the out of tree modules I need. I just ordered a f…

Hello to all, how can I upgrade the kernel to 4.6.2 from 4.5.2. I have a lamobo r1? Thank you Paul

Hey everyone, First off, I don't use Linux often so please bear with me if I miss out on obvious things. I have a few Orange Pi Lite boards, and after booting up Armbian 5.14 I was excited to give the Wifi a try after only having ethernet on my Orange Pi One boards. My OPi Lite sees my network just fine, but when I put in my credentials and go to connect to it, it fails returning "Bad Password". For what it's worth, I've checked the password probably 25+ times, I promise it's right. The wifi WILL connect to open networks, however. Is there some obvious solution that I'm missing here? Any help or direction would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi All. First post here (and quite a newbie). I have installed Armbian on my new NanoPi Neo and followed the instructions. It is all booting OK and I now wondering how I can attach a speaker directly to the header 10 LINEOUTR LINE-OUT Right Channel Output 11 LINEOUTL LINE-OUT Left Channel Output 12 GND 0V Will this work? How can I test it as I cannot see it with ALSAMIXER. TIA.

Hi Forum, My CT with "Armbian_5.14_Cubietruck_Debian_jessie_4.6.2" image doesn't shut down. Neither short push of power button nor shutdown -P (issued as root) doesn't really power off the board. The red LED is lightning and the display is ON, it halts after reporting "Reached Target Shutdown". The board is OK, for a long push of PB it powers off and with a Cubieez image it shuts down well. Has anyone seen this issue? What to do with it? Thanks, T

Hi, I'm trying to make a hotspot with the beelink x2. I have some problems with resume after suspend. So i have a question about the beelink x2. Does anybody know if it is possible to start the beelink after a shutdown with the power-button. If i want to restart it, i have to re-insert the power-cord and the beelink will boot. Button does nothing. Thanks. Erik

So can you guys help me debug, why I can't get the microphone to work on my Orange pi pc. Speaker works just fine. Arecord records nothing, silent file .

Hi! I'm new to Armbian and I have a problem with Internal Ethernet device on my Orange Pi One. Ethernet link successfully up on boot, but after 2-3 hours it goes down and only restarting it with /et/init.d/networking restart helps for the next 2-3 hours.

Hello, I have on my Orange Pi 2+ and Orange Pi 2+e Armbian 5.14 and 5.16 and both have the same problem: WiFi isn't constant. The signal fluctuates from 48% to 92% or from 20% to -1%. There is no difference with or without a LAN cable. When I connect the Orange Pi with a WiFi network the signal is constant. Is there somebody, who knows how to fix this problem?

Hi all Need's help, my devoces orange pi plus 2 and distibtion os armbian server, me need hardware acceleration on plexmediaserver, i used more ways, did not help.

Hi, does Armbian still support Debian-Wheezy? On the download page is written: But I can not find a Wheezy-Image. Steffen

Hi, for all my automation projects I use BananaPi and BananaPro. As far as I know the difference is the script.bin file. Is this right? I will not maintain two Images. Right now I use the Image for the BananaPro 5.14. I changed the sym-link to BananaPi.bin. But the hardware-info after login shows "BananaPi Pro". Is there anything more I have to do? Thanks. Steffen

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

Hello everybody. I'm trying to have the OLIMEX board and LCD above working, using legacy Jessie desktop. With the default configuration only portion of the screen works properly. So I have tried to: 1) sunxi-fexc from bin to fex the file /boot/script.bin 2) edit the extracted script.fex file like this: from [lcd0_para] lcd_used = 1 lcd_x = 600 lcd_y = 480 to [lcd0_para] lcd_used = 1 lcd_x = 1024 lcd_y = 600 which I understand is the resolution of my LCD screen. 3) sunxi-fexc back from fex to /boot/script.bin The result is that when I reboot I get a messed up screen. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I'm using Orange Pi One with Armbiab 5.14. And trying to use GPIO (keys) for volume up and down, making game console. Of course, I could read GPIOs status by Wiring Pi, but I couldn't control volume by command. I tried amixer with various parameters, but not change HDMI volume. I'm not sure the usage detail of amixer on Armbian. Please advise me how to change volume by command. It's OK to control by C source, because use C program to read GPIOs!

Hi, currently my small server is running under Armbian 5.16 on Orange Pi Plus 2 board. It is using eMMC as root fs. I am expecting to get Orange Pi Plus 2E to be delivered shortly. The question is if following procedure will be OK to migrate server between boards: before: stop services etc. 1. insert SD card (16GB) when system is running. eMMC is visible as /dev/mmcblk0, SD card will appear as /dev/mmcblk1. 2. use nand-sata-install to copy system to SD Card. 3. mount /dev/mmcblk1 under some mount point, for example /mnt 4. verify, if /mnt/etc/fstab is valid: /dev/mmcblk0p1 / ext4 defaults,noatime,nodiratime,commit=600,errors=remount-ro 0 1 5. modify lin…

Wondering if there's anything similar to retroarch or mednafen that'll work for armbian on a pcduino3? I can't get the former to compile/install and the latter gives me guff about not being able to find a GLX visual when it tries to load video. It's worth noting that I'm pretty green when it comes to Linux, especially when it comes to "exotic"/SoC builds. I have nothing against learning, but I've found the signal-to-noise ratio for this product in particular is very poor and a lot of the info is woefully obsolete.

hi, i have burn the jessi server with my orangepi one from http://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-one/. all run well, but when i try to use the arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc within ubuntu 14.04 to compile a helloworld into this board. I meet segmentation fault. does any one known which toolchain should I use when I want to cross compile program for it?

I have a nanoPi M1 with armbian Jessie, fresh install with no X server I wish to play a mp3 file using mplayer, but there is no audio output. #mplayer ./3951.mp3 the output is: MPlayer2 2.0-728-g2c378c7-4+b1 © 2000-2012 MPlayer Team Cannot open file '/root/.mplayer/input.conf': No such file or directory Failed to open /root/.mplayer/input.conf.

So ARMbian is my preferred OS for the pcduino3 because it outperforms all of the other options. However, I'm having trouble altering the screen resolution. I'm trying to get it set to 1024x768@60p and it's not playing ball. I've edited script.bin and boot.cmd to change the display mode to output mode/type 4 (desired res and VGA mode respectively) but it just goes to a blank screen and refuses to boot when I reboot it. What exactly do I need to do to get this resolution working? If 1024x768@60 isn't an option, I can work with 1280x1024@60 as well, but I'm still clueless as to the necessary steps to take to change it. -edit- Sorry I should add I'm using the jess…

Hi all, I was just wondering if you had experience with the performance on the H3 allwinner CPU performance based on the cpu temperature ? I'm trying to tweak my fan to only cool down the CPU once it gets close to peak cpu temperature levels, before performance starts to degrade. According to the Allwinner H3 datasheet the maximum ambient operating temperature is 70° (see page 612) http://dl.linux-sunxi.org/H3/Allwinner_H3_Datasheet_V1.0.pdf Do you think I can let the cpu go up to 70 before cooling it down or should I start sooner (i.e 65° / 67°) to keep my pi at top performance ?

Hello everyone, I've been trying to find a list of the differences between Armbian and a classic Debian Install. Could you please help me with that? I'm asking this question because I currently have Armbian running from an SD card on a Cubieboard 1, and would like to install Debian to an encrypted SATA drive instead. I think I will follow this installation guide with the netboot SD card image. Once I have a Debian for the armhf arch, is there something else I should do to make my system as compatible as possible with the Cubieboard? I know I can reduce the amount of reserved memory assigned to various video devices. I could maybe try to look into the Security …

Hi, I need to use uart (for a gps receiver) and i2c (for some sensors) for my project via the gpio pins. Fortunately i2c is enabled in the images by default. I hope it is also enabled if I recompile armbian for the orangepi lite by default? Afaik I have to enable UART in the following file: https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/config/fex/orangepilite.fex . Unfurtunately I do not understand which pins on the gpio header correspond to the ports defined in this file. For example: Can I use UART on any pins on the gpio header? I would like to use UART on the same pins as in https://www.element14.com/community/servlet/JiveServlet/previewBody/73950-102-10-…

Hi to All, I decided to start this new tread for searching of the best solution for unification of the boot process from any available media. Main target is Armbian next and development branches and mainline Kernel and U-Boot. Boot device can be eMMC, SD/MMC, USB Flash/HDD and SATA HDD/SSD probed in given order. In case of booting from eMMC, SD/MMC and USB Flash Read-Only Root FS can be used optionally. In case of booting from SD/MMC or USB Flash eMMC and / or SATA devices can be updated automatically. Some effort in this direction was done by me and described in Armbian Customization thread. The tests was done on Olimex' A20-Olimexino-Lime2-eMMC (HW rev. …

I know Banana pi had issues in the past connecting at gigabit speeds. I thought that was a fixed problem, though. I did a fresh Jessie server install today and it still connects at 100 megabit. Is there a user action that must be taken? According to http://linux-sunxi.org/LeMaker_Banana_Pi the GMAC wasn't supported in the community kernel but should be in later kernels. Is this still an issue? How does one set GMAC_TX_DELAY to 3? Is that a config file thing or a patch that needs to be applied? Are other Banana Pi owners just living with 100 megabit speeds?

This may be one of those questions that should be considered dumb, but I'll risk your flames and ask regardless. Is the Orange Pi ONE GPIO Pin layout the same as the Raspberry Pi? I haven't found much specific to GPIO on the Orange Pi One, but I did see someone who said they were flipped 180 from the RPI. Before I attach a project and risk frying project and./or board, could you point me to a reference that specifies the layout of the GPIO pins on the Orange Pi ONE? And, like I said, I'm really sorry if this is the dumbest thing you've had to read all day. I have searched, but could not find much specific to the ONE.

Hello, I'm running a banana pro on the last armbian without any issues on a 16 gb SD Card.

Hello all. I am having problems making nand-sata-install script work for installing to my external HDD. I used this (or similar) script in the past on loboris' images and it was working.

I made 30 ish GB partition for the system and leave the rest as NTFS storage partition for mounting it later on the OS. But with armbian's script, i couldn't get my HDD to work with it. I am choosing to boot from sd and system from USB (sata) option, choosing the correct partition (/dev/sda2 in this example) and starting the process but it f…

Hello. Some facts: 1. Boot with image based on legacy kernel cause shutdown after some (less than 10) seconds after power on. 2. Boot with image based on vanilla kernel always ok. 3. If i try to boot without SD card, than power off Cubie with button, then insert SD and switch on with button - it will boot OK with lagacy kernel! Which logs can help to find the problem? I ought to use legacy kernel - i need internal soundcard and both USB. And I see that it is not my own problem - http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/1593-armbian-cubieboard1a10-desktop-with-legacy-kernel-wont-boot-just-shuts-off-cubieboard/- i think we can help to find the bug.

Hi all, Creating a DietPi image for BPi Pro based on ARMbian. I finally got a chance to test do_expand_rootfs() from /etc/init.d/firstrun.

Hi, I've now spent days to get the access point running with hostapd and dnsmasq on the OrangePi Lite. Still without success. Output of hostapd: /etc/hotapd.conf: /etc/network/interfaces Output of iw list: /etc/init.d/hostapd: The strange thing is, that in rare cases it was sometimes possible to create the AP with the same configuration after doing: But on reboot it always failed. Can somebody help me please?

Hi all. I'm running armbian in all my orangepi boards since I've them and the distro is great and we'll developed. (thanks!) I run them with telephone chargers (htc and Samsung) 2/1.5A directly connected to the board via a 30cm cable. I don't know what's the status of data pins (d+ d-) but I think they are left open by the cable. They are used for sdr use running dump1090 all the time. In the aim of reducing the heat I've disabled two cores (only recently) out of four and installed a copper heatsink on the cpu. The problem is that from time to time I found my boards unresponsive from ethernet and serial port, so completely stuck. Only a reboot works. Do you h…

I've installed Armbian_5.14_Cubieboard_Debian_jessie_3.4.112_desktop.7z and It initially worked. I tested video files playback (I think it was mpv player) and it worked smoothly, no video lag. After 4 or 5 boot-ups, I'm no longer able to start armbian. I just see u-boot starting and then (when the kernel is going to be loaded (message: "Starting kernel ...")) I see mess on screen and cubieboard is powered off (red power light goes down, also networking leds). I use HDMI output (unfortunately I do not have serial cable to try debug it maybe further). What I tried so far, without success: -changing SD card for another one (8GB cat4 for 8GB cat10) -replacing power supply …

Is there an easy way to dual boot Armbian and OpenElec on my OrangePi PC.

Hi! I need some help in order to install Node-RED over Armbian Wheezy on Cubieboard1 can anyone give me help?

Hi! I just installed a fresh Armbian_5.14_Lamobo-r1_Debian_jessie_3.4.112 image to my R1. While booting, the system first shows about a page of boot-messages on the Display and then changes to a Out-of-Range Display. Changing console by <Ctrl><Alt><F1>, ...F2,... Fn doesn't help. Accessing the system with PUTTY/ssh works fine. apt-get update/upgrade/reboot won't help. The display does 1280x1024 resolution maximum. Just before I used banian without any problems. What should I do?

I'm using vanilla Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 from http://www.armbian.com/lamobo-r1/ When I follow the forum posts for copying everything to the SATA drive and updating /etc/fstab and /boot/boot.cmd the system boots as expected to the SATA drive. The problem I have is I get prompted to upgrade it on boot using apt-get upgrade. This also upgrades the kernel version from 4.6.2 to 4.6.3. Because I have moved the system from the SD card to the SATA drive the new kernel doesn't load, only the old kernel with missing modules which causes problems. When the kernel updates it updates the SATA drive /boot directory but the device uses the sd card /boot directory so things get screwed…

I have spent hours trying to get any activity on my new Orange Pi PC I just purchased. I have been downloading and burning different images, reformatting / trying different SD cards, 2 power supplies, using DD, WIn32DiskImager, Rufus, scanning my SD using F3, etc lots of "pain". The solution - which I found somewhere halfway by accident - is that some boards do not have card slots mounted correctly, but you can flex the card to make it work. So yes, I flexed the SD card and applied power, and like magic I got actual LED activity. OMG it boots now! Would have worked the entire time but it did not make contact with the SD card. My solution for now is to stick a laye…

Hi! I love this Linux distribution, I have tried some months ago and had worked very well. Now, I want install armbian in a pdduino3b, I go to "downloads" select pcduino3, and I have two options: Xenial_server_vanilla and Xenial_server_legacy. I want hardware acceleration and most options of drivers and compatibility possible, so, I go for legacy option. But I realize that the two images have not a desktop environment, this is true? If yes, where can I download the full newer armbian version with legacy kernel and desktop ready? I try install xcfe over legacy image, but I have found for errors like "screen not found" and others... Regards.

Hello, with the update to the new kernel (4.6.3-sunxi) I get some problems on my banana pro. First, while the system starts I get sometimes a kernel panic. In the most cases the kernel will boot on the second or third try. But the second one will be contantly and can't be avoided by a system reboot. The network interfaces don't be worked. The will be initialized during the system start process, get there IPv4 addresses from the router per DHCP and ifconfig shown them with the state "up". Everything looks ok. But if I try to connect another system, the connection will be failed. Any ping, as exsample to the router (default gateway), fails. The ping t…

Hey everyone. I have an MK802 II stick, which has the A10 s.o.c, so i use the Olinuxino Lime a10 image on it. Everything works pretty much fine, except one little thing. This machine has worked fine with non-standard resolutions, like 1440x900, or 1280x1024. Now, when i turn it on, the U-boot screen appears correctly, it even shows that it set the resolution to 1440x900, and after that, the monitor says "signal out of range". Of course, it works well with a 1080p monitor, but i wanted to use this one too. Thanks!

updated to 5.15 (then 5.16) release using aptitude. Kernel update worked. But when I updated u-boot ( linux-u-boot-orangepiplus2e-default ) , the system will no longer boot (see attached). But if I use linux-u-boot-orangepiplus-default , it will boot. (Note that the install script, to write/dd SPL , is hardcoded to mmcblk0, which is usually correct, but for this fix, I start boot on SDHC then pivot-root to eMMC. My running root is mmcblk1 during this "rescue" boot). Both 5.15 & 5.16 exhibit this behavior. Thanks, wha bad-uboot.txt

i run a cubietruck on armbian with 4.6.2 kernel. it starts with the software on mmcblk0p1 (with kernel 4.6.2 and the /lib dir on the sd) but uses as root a partition of the ssd. when i upgrade now, i see that the upgrade process produces a new initrd.img-4.6.3 and removes the old 4.6.2. (diagnosis: the system runs, but the keyboard/mouse connected to the usb is not functional - desktop over net works!) i assume that there is something wrong with the boot.cmd - but i do not see exactly how to fix it. the upgrade process uses the ssd .../lib directory and removes 4.6.2 there. if i would mount the /boot directory with the running system (in fstab) - would this hel…

Hello ! I recently reimaged my BPi M1 with the vanilla headless Debian Jessie from Armbian. But I have two problems: Main problem (the worst): I have a RAID SATA to USB enclosure (this one: BS-EHD-35/DUALB). After some times and randomly, the drives stops spinning and the enclosure stops itself. I've disabled any power management on hard drive, setup a cron job to write a file every 5 min, disabled autosuspend in usb core... I didn't have this problem with the legacy kernel. I cannot downgrade to it, because I'm using BTRFS with some non-compatible extensions. Note: this is a server with apache, Deluge, Plex and Sonarr. Side problems (I can live with if the first is O…

Dear Forum, First of all thank you for being a member here. Second is that I would need some help on selecting an image for my present CT board. I need the followings: 1. hostapd with dnsmasq 2. g_mass_storage 3. sata 4.spidev or equivalent Preferably: 3. I would need free up SD card slot, so nand or SATA boot would be preferred. Which image is the best for me even if I need to recompile it? Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone, this is my first post so please be patient. I am using armbian for a long time on my cubietruck, but this time I got a problem with my Orange Pi One. I have build a Embedded Cluster [1] out of a cubietruck, 5 Orange Pi PC and one Orange Pi One system. Since yesterday I have modified my cluster chassis. Maybe but just maybe a short circuit happened on my OPiOne because of some assembly issues I had during it's installation. The problem is that it OPiOne does not boot any more. The red and green LED are still turned off. The two LED'S of the ethernet port are always switched on. Nothing to see on a screen attached to the HDMI port. It a…

Hi, After the new update, the BLUE LED on the nanoPI M1 is not being used anymore. Cheers,

Hello, actually it was not the first time the upgrade failed on this board: - upgrade 5.11 to 5.15 -> returned successfull - reboot - at boot system can not find file: sun6i-a31s-bananapi-m2.dtb (file sun6i-a31s-sinovoip-bpi-m2.dtb for BPi M2 is available) - fixed it by linking to the existing device tree blob sun6i-a31s-sinovoip-bpi-m2.dtb - reboot again - no network (my /etc/network/interfaces has been set to armbian default, same as /etc/network/interfaces.default, this happened the first time) fixed it again by setting the correct content I don't know if the upgrade process is the problem or if there is something messed up on my board... Now ev…

Just started with Orangepi and ARMbian ... ARMbian is a very nice OS. Especially since there's a RAW image for Orange pi! Thanks! I've got two DS18B20 working perfectly with my Orange pi pc! But now I've troubles with the BMP085 /BMP180. With my old Raspberry pi it was pretty easy, but how can I get the BMP180 running? I 've read there are modules for ARMbian, but I've read as well I've got to compile my own module. Does anybody know where can I find the files /module to load or compile?

I'm thinking of getting a 128GB microSDXC card (Samsung EVO) for my Cubietruck. Is this likely to work or is 64GB a hard limit? Of course, I intend to put a sane filesystem on it, like ext4.

Hi, today I want to tell you, that I am very much upset about the result of the latest ARMBIAN Update! After updating I figured out, that the latest update erased my bash.bashrc.custom, which took me a long time to set it right! Unfortunate I did not have a backup! I am very much upset, that an armbian update erases configuration files WITHOUT any further notices!!! Regards, Ireng

Hi, I would like to make my opi plus in AP mode (standalone). I know the img is shipped with hostapd and interface.hostapd ready but is in bridge mode. I am able to use it in bridge mode but i need it to be standalone. How can i set it to just standalone? I tried install dnsmasq and disable the br0 but i think i did something wrong and the board cant be connected. Cheers

Hi, I just bought an RTC module for my Banana Pi M2, but when scanning for i2c devices I noticed that there are no i2c device nodes in /dev using the latest Armbian version (5.15). Is there any way to get it working? Modprobing i2c-dev or any other modules I've found didn't help Thanks in advance!

Is there any way to get a video player to display subtitles on an H3 board? I've tried VLC and SMPlayer, but neither are able to do so (the problem seems to be that the video output is overlayed *over* the system display rather than mixed with it on a per-pixel basis, so while the subtitles are being displayed by the player, they simply aren't visible). Is there any adjustment/update/other player I can use to fix this problem? Orange Pi Plus 2 I have armbian 5.05 installed, so not sure if there are any updates that might help?

Hello list, a big thank you to all the developers of Armbian. I am a newbie to arm boards, have limited experience with various linuxes and definitely not enough know-how to progam anything or to compile kernels or build images, and things like u-boots are warships for me. Without your great software images my cubietruck would probably have been an investment into electronic scrap! A short user-feedback: Why does a normal consumer want to use a cubieboard? To use my favorite .mp3-player attached via SPDIF to his stereo equipment, play music from a harddisk and control it via VNC-Client from a tablet (because I don't want to use an 80 W TV to contro…

I'm trying to get a csi cam from aliexpress to work on my orange pi one running Armbian_5.10_Orangepih3_Debian_jessie_3.4.112. I've modified the fex and tried modding the gc2035 kernel driver, and tried several different applications. Everything has failed so far. Are there any resources that describe what I need to do to get it to work? All hardware is new (with a 3a power supply too). Armbian seems to be the best distro to use, and I think I'm running the latest armbian version which includes many fixes. I've also updated and upgraded the os once installed to include anything fixed upstream. This is the aliexpress cam I got for the orange pi one: http://bit.ly…

I received my Pi Pc plus today which is strange because I thought I ordered the Pi pc. I downloaded the armbian Jessie desktop and used 7zip to extract it to the sd card. It will not load off the card. It would not load raspbian for the raspberry Pi. What it is doing is loading android whether the sd card is inserted or not. Can anyone offer suggestions to try? OS downloaded from here: http://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-pc/ It has emmc I can't even make some of the things work on android.??

have anyone tested the tvin yet? there are some ported drivers from android kernel on github (sun7i_tvd). with regards

Firstly many thanks to all the hard work from the Armbian developers - it installed onto the eMMC of my new Orange Pi Plus2E first time with no problems I'm trying to benchmark the board (with a fan/heatsink) and without.
